And sadly, more often than not, cults can end in disaster and death. Such was the case with Heaven’s Gate, a group founded in the 1970s by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles....

‘La La Land’ First Look: Ryan Gosling And Emma Stone Dance For ‘Whiplash’ Director Damien Chazelle One of the many sins committed by 2013’sGangster Squad(pictured above) was the way it totally squandered the pairing ofRyan GoslingandEmma Stone. The stars had just lit up the screen together in 2011’sCrazy, Stupid, Love., but none of the crackling chemistry they demonstrated in that movie carried over to Ruben Fleischer’s tedious crime drama. They’ll get another chance to shine together in 2016, though....

‘Legion’ Spoiler Review: Thoughts On “Chapter 1” Let’s get the high praise out of the way first: it’s rare for a television pilot to feel as fresh and weird and fully formed asLegion, which feels more like the first 70 minutes of a particularly daringX-Menmovie than the first chapter of an ongoing series airing on FX.

‘Maleficent’ Trailer: Sympathy For The Mistress Of All Evil In Disney’s originalSleeping Beauty, the divide between good and evil was a pretty clear-cut one.

But the studio’s upcomingMaleficentsuggests that the “real” story may not be so simplistic. In theRobert Stromberg-directed film, Maleficent (played byAngelina Jolie) starts out every bit as pure and sweet as any Disney princess, until the destruction of her forest kingdom causes her to turn bitter and hateful....

‘Modern Family’ Farewell Featurette Looks Back At The Legacy Of The Emmy-Winning Series Last week,Modern Familycame to a close after 11 seasons on ABC. The series finale sent off the Dunphy family with plenty of tears and laughs, and it was certainly just as heartfelt of a goodbye for the cast who has spent over a decade working together.
