In a recent interview promoting his latest movie, the George Clooney-directed “The Tender Bar,” Affleck was inevitably asked about his time playing Batman, both in the past and in the upcoming “Flash” movie. In a statement that surprises no one, Affleck revealed that his experience reprising the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman was more fun on “The Flash,” where he along with other Batmans (Michael Keaton, for one) have multiversal run-ins with Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen (AKA the Flash himself)....

Better Call Saul Season 5 Is (Finally) Coming To Netflix “Pew, pew!” Not too many shows out there would be able to take a character emoting such a silly sound effect like that and turn it into yet another downright chilling example of incredible character work. Then again, “Better Call Saul” simply isn’t like most other shows. While the sixth and final season of the “Breaking Bad” spin-off/prequel series is set to air on AMC in just a few weeks, fans of the series — forced to wait quite a long time since “Better Call Saul” last aired and under a constant deluge of countless other shows fighting for our attention in the meantime — would be forgiven for needing to jog their memories about all the game-changing events that happened in the previous season....

Box Office: Abrams' Star Trek Goes Where No Trek Has Gone Before: $33M In 29 Hours Rebooting Bond with Daniel Craig was Bold. Christopher Nolan’s Reinvention of Batman was genius. But some thought it was overly-ambitious, even audacious, to attempt to restart the Star Trek franchise. It has begun to pay off already for Paramount Pictures, and there will dividends for years to come. J.J. Abrams is officially the Lazarus of movie directors as his all-new Star Trek has gone “Boldly Gone Where No Star Trek Movie has Gone Before....

Crank 3-D And A Moving Bullet-Time Camera Rig Mark Neveldinehas confirmed thatCrank 3will be shot in 3-D. Not a day goes by where I don’t get into an argument with someone about the merits of 3D.

Every Ghostbusters: Afterlife Main Character Ranked Worst To Best The development of the “Ghostbusters” franchise has been fascinating to watch unfold. Ivan Reitman’s 1984 original is one of the rare movies that could be described as “perfect.” How could you possibly combine fantasy, broad comedy, horror, satire, sharp dialogue, improv, and the strong personalities of the cast into a comprehensive 105 minutes? Not every beloved classic of the ’80s holds up in a modern context, but “Ghostbusters” has proven it can stand the test of time....
