Fair Game, the latest film from Jumper director Doug Liman, is a drama about the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.

2013 was an unusual year in South Korean cinema. Three of its biggest directors, Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, and Kim Jee-woon, all simultaneously attempted to break into the U.S. film market by making English-language movies. Bong’s Snowpiercer was moderately successful and became somewhat of a cult film. However, both Park’s Stoker and Kim’s The Last Stand, which featured Arnold Schwarzenegger in his first leading role since he became California’s governor, were both rare flops for the master directors....

Lethal Weapon has officially gotten too old for this s*** and is heading into retirement. Fox has decided to cancel the series after three seasons and won’t be bringing back Murtaugh and Cole for another go-around.

How did young Tom Marvolo Riddle grow up to become Lord Voldemort? Voldemort is one of the most compelling villains; one of the reasons being that the sound of his name is enough to send people into a panic. No one speaks in his name in fear, other than a select brave few. So, how does someone grow to become that powerful? As the main antagonist of the Harry Potter franchise, Voldemort is increasingly interesting due to his overall lack of appearances throughout the novels or films....

Where would we be without Stephen King? The infuriatingly prolific writer has not only had his hand in so many of the horror genre’s cookie jars, but has also had a hand on the kiln that fires them. Situated nicely amidst media monoliths like the political sci-fi of the ‘60s, the exploitative grindhouse of the ‘70s, and the hardcore camp of the ‘80s, King’s work demonstrates an ever-shifting synergy of high and low art alongside a persistent, ambitious, trailblazing curiosity....
