https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNYJ_BJJbzI Netflix sure knows how to keep a surprise and then pop it on the culture. Their latest cool project to come out of nowhere -- which is scheduled to drop in a week! -- is a short film from arguably the greatest director on the planet right now, Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be [...]

It seemed odd that Pixar's one movie for 2020, titled Onward, would be released in the spring rather than the summer or holidays. Now we know why: It's not their only movie for 2020. In a surprise tweet, Pixar Animation Studios revealed a heretofore secret feature-length movie called Soul, one that will be released exactly [...]

In fact, according to this tweet from returning director Patty Jenkins, we're at least six [...]
