Sure, Bloodline is the name of a popular now-canceled television show, a Peter Berg 2013 TV movie, a 2005 urban action-drama, and a 1979 Audrey Hepburn thriller, but it's also the title of Henry Jacobson's feature directorial debut, starring Seann William Scott. And just as the title retreads familiar territory, so, too, does the film, which finds Scott as a psychologically damaged high school counselor who finally snaps and begins avenging his students who've been wronged by parental figures.

It’s taken over 40 years for Lucasfilm to cast a woman as a droid in a galaxy far, far away and with the arrival of L-337 in Solo: A Star Wars Story she was certainly worth the wait. Far from being a bumbling ball of neuroses like C-3PO, a beeping pet of a robot like BB-8, or played by a man like EV-9D9 in The Return of the Jedi, L-3 is afforded an autonomy and personality that is usually reserved for biological characters.
For the first time in it's long history, the hero of Doctor Who will be played by a woman. Have you heard? Most likely you have.

Superman was always a creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, but he wasn’t always a justice-seeking, S-emblemed specimen of physical perfection. He started off instead as a villain, one that prized intellect over all else, in a fanzine - Science Fiction: The Advance Guard of Future Civilization - written by the pair in high school. Now, a rare set of this zine (four issues) will go to auction so that a fan can own the origins of Superman...or, at least the origin of Superman’s name.

Since the founding of American democracy, political leaders have sought to portray themselves as brave, benevolent, and selfless servants of the people, driven by incorruptible moral cores to help the downtrodden and dreamers alike.

Whether as Kara Zor-El, cousin of Superman, or otherwise, some form of Supergirl has existed in the DC Universe with very few breaks in publication since her first appearance in 1958 (though her actual debut is debated due to several prototypes having appeared in the early days of Action Comics). There are hundreds of Supergirl stories out there, and that makes it a little intimidating for new readers to find an issue to pick up and run with.

If Harry Potter fans learned anything from Garrick Ollivander, it’s that it’s not the size of the wand that counts, but how you use it. But, if you’re looking to make a statement, having a really, really, big wand never hurts. That’s the game plan for J.K. Rowling’s charity, Lumos, which is installing nine giant wands in London to raise awareness for its goal of changing the fate of orphaned children that still have living family.
Pop culture references, funky aliens, a Hawaiian shirt wearing spacecraft, BooBies, and a heart shaped booty are all part of the freshly combed pompadour that is Space Dandy, an episodic anime space opera with heartwarming moments and an existential rabbit hole of wonder.

While Fear the Walking Dead’s penultimate episode of the season may have rubbed certain fans the wrong way, there’s no denying that a lot went down. A lot of changes happened to a couple key characters, setting up a season four finale with plenty of potential.

Fantastic Fest — the annual film festival held each year in Austin, Texas — is always packed with intriguing genre offerings, and one of the most intriguing of 2018 was always going to be Overlord, director Julius Avery's World War II thriller from J.J.

NASA is all around you. As in, probably right in front of your face. While most of us don’t work in a NASA lab peering at faraway galaxies, studying relics of the Big Bang or theorizing about black holes, we are still surrounded by technology developed by the brains at the space agency. This is why the new NASA Home & City website has created a virtual space where you can digitally walk through buildings and rooms and find out what everyday things actually started out in space.

The fact that we know more about what's out there in our solar system than at the bottom of Earth's oceans is equal parts unbelievable and enticing, offering tantalizing possibilities for discoveries without the need for any kind of space travel.

Sunday afternoon at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, finally revealed what this year's secret screening would be: director Luca Guadagnino's highly anticipated Suspiria remake.
In this episode...
"What's really fun about being an actor in 2018 is that it's [suddenly] a meta-profession," Allison Williams remarked over the weekend at Fantastic Fest. And Williams is no stranger to the self-referential in her work, having begun her acting career by playing a character on Girls that many people assumed contained more than traces of Williams' real personality.
Paramount knew exactly what it was doing when it decided to set Bumblebee's spinoff movie in the 1980s. Why? Because it's the very decade in which the Transformers franchise was first born. The "Reagan Years" introduced us to these robotic aliens that could turn themselves into everyday vehicles and, sometimes, even dinosaurs.
If you have a chance to see Michael Jackson's Thriller in IMAX, get it while the getting's good. It's screening before showings of The House With a Clock in its Walls and I can confirm from firsthand experience that it makes for an even better viewing on a giant theater screen. (House With a Clock in its Walls was pretty cute too; perfect if you're in the mood for a Jack Black-led, kid-friendly horror flick.)

The new season of Doctor Who will be a reset button for the venerable science fiction adventure show in more ways than one. Sure, there’s a new actor as the Doctor, and that new actor is a woman for the first time in the show's history, but devoted fans know all that already. The Doctor’s changing face is built into the narrative of the show, and as for the gender switch, real Whovians couldn’t be happier about that fact. So, what’s the most jarring thing about the impending new season of Who?
They say war is hell, but what happens when the figurative becomes the literal?

While the mysterious Overlord makes its world premiere at Fantastic Fest this weekend (and we’ve got a cool poster to get you hyped up for the Nazi-fighting alt-history weirdness), we still only know a bit about the plot of the supernatura

Actress Adina Porter loves American Horror Story as much as fans do — she just so happens to also be one of the people they regularly watch unravel before their eyes in Ryan Murphy’s long-running horror anthology series.
