It's been four years since Downton Abbey ended its wildly popular six-season run, and the affection for it hasn't waned. Now, at long last, Abbey fans are about to get what has been long [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=5MwW1NAsnR8 The live-action Disney remakes keep coming, and now we're even into sequel territory with some. Alice Through The Looking Glass was a dud, but the Mouse House is hoping for better with Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, the sequel to the Angelina Jolie-led Maleficent, an effort thatproved to be a popular hit if not full-blown [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to2SMng4u1k George Lucas is infamous for constantly retooling and updating his Star Wars movies, not just the OT Special Editions but even the prequels for their blu-ray releases (such as replacing puppet Yoda in Phantom Menace with digital Yoda). Controversial though they may be (particularly since the changes aren't always effective), the notion isn't without [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTE4BI_Atpw Has the MCU gone Spider-Verse? In this first clip from Spider-Man: Far From Home, Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio teases the possibility of multiple timelines when he meets Peter Parker (Tom Holland). It's the likely fallout of events in Avengers: Endgame...that is, if Mysterio isn't lying. But if he's telling the truth, I'm going to lay down [...]
Romantic sparks, visual spectacle, and Genie-driven laughs highlight the latest batch of promos for Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin. Plus, Will Smith raps the Genie's signature song.

UPDATE: Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that the next Star Wars will be the one steered by Game of Thrones producers D. B. Weiss and David Benioff. Interestingly, in his statement, Iger said "...the next movie that we release will be theirs and we’re not saying anything more about that.” Notice the term "movie", as in [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt9L1jCKGnE Once you get past the MAJOR SPOILER, there's a fun new Spider-Man movie in store in this latest trailer. Also: a better look at Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio. Spider-Man: Far From Home picks up directly where Avengers: Endgame left off, which means the beginning of this film -- and this trailer -- spoils that movie's [...]
For one box office record, The Force is still stronger. After slaying every record held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens over the first ten days of its release, Avengers: Endgame finally came up short for bragging rights to the best 2nd weekend gross ever. Its $145.8 million domestic haul falls just short of the [...]
To paraphrase Doctor Strange, we’re in the second weekend now. After Avengers: Endgame obliterated opening weekend box office records both domestically and globally (read the long list here), it continued its Thanos-like carnage of marks heretofore set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens back in 2015. Having raked in $357 million domestically in its first three [...]
