‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ Trailer: Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning Set a Haunting Mood

Reed Morano is no stranger to expertly navigating dystopias. I don’t expect less from the director responsible for the excellently chilling opening episodes of the first season of  The Handmaid’s Tale . Morano knows how to artfully capture the weird and the rapturous. Additionally, her credentials as a cinematographer further include some of the most visually distinctive dramas out there, such as  Kill Your Darlings , The Skeleton Twins , and even her own directorial debut, Meadowland . If there’s anything that all of these narratives have in common, it’s that Morano’s work demands us to feel something powerful while watching it. We could be shocked and indignant while witnessing the eerie, unforgivable near-future explicated in  The Handmaid’s Tale . Alternatively, a movie like The Skeleton Twins implores audiences to find hope and empathy for troubled characters who feel lost and jaded. And with her first foray in the director’s chair,  Meadowland is a character study in grief th

When is Slow Burn Television Worth It?

Over the next few weeks, dozens of new TV shows will fill the airwaves, vying for your eyes by whatever means necessary. Plenty of these series won’t have a second season, and some will be axed after just a few episodes. Come September, network pilot season will do what it’s always done, going big with premieres meant to captivate from start to finish via nostalgia-baiting reboots ( Murphy Brown ), high-budget stunts ( Manifest , already ordered to series), and other tried and true tactics to earn viewership. The most successful of these shows will get full-season orders, which means they’ll inevitably try to sustain that initial energy for as many as 21 more episodes. Meanwhile, on cable and streaming, a different approach rules the land: shows with more creative liberty are running for six to 13 episodes and still manage to feel long. This summer alone, Castle Rock , Sharp Objects , The Sinner , Atlanta , The Handmaid’s Tale , GLOW , and even tachycardia-inducing movies like Hered

Nickelodeon is Bringing Back the ’90s

Nickelodeon is bringing back all of their ’90s classics with a streaming service (available now!) called NickSplat , through a partnership with VRV,  Deadline reports . If you’re like me, and you’re a child of the ’90s, then you’re all too familiar with the fact that all that ’90s kids talk about is how good things were in the ’90s. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google “only ’90s kids will remember this” and prepare for way too many memes and actual memories representing my childhood. But in all seriousness, the shows that were produced in the ’90s are absolutely iconic and remembered fondly by us kids of that time. If you want to access the shows but are already paying for Netflix and/or Hulu, have no fear. You don’t have to pay for an entire VRV subscription to access NickSplat, as that channel alone is $5.99 a month. So what’s on NickSplat? To give you a quick list, the service includes  Aaahh!!! Real Monsters , All That ,  Are You Afraid of the Dark? ,  CatDog ,  Cha

Dwayne Johnson Will Rule as Kamehameha in Robert Zemeckis’ ‘The King’

Recalling a time when Dwayne Johnson wasn’t a charismatic headliner is impossible. Even at the height of his professional wrestling career as The Rock (among other monikers), his infectious persona bolstered his popularity. He’s the People’s Champion for a reason. That personable quality definitely carries over seamlessly into his movie career, which began back in 2001. Johnson’s first onscreen appearance as The Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns may have been a thankless, wordless cameo, but he ended up starring in his own spin-off the following year anyway. The rest, as they say, is history. Johnson’s movies tend to be a rollicking good time, particularly when it comes to the flashiest of his topliners that have come out within the last decade. As a bona fide action and comedy star, Johnson has built a brand on frivolous films that stretch the limits of imagination. Whether he’s singlehandedly scaling a giant skyscraper or trailing the Fast and Furious family across a myriad of
