American Dad! Season Premiere Review: “Steve and Snot’s Test-Tubular Adventure” (Season 9, Episode 1)

In this fan's opinion, no episode of American Dad! can be truly great if the plot is too heavily skewed to favor only one of the show's main characters, which is the case in "Steve and Snot's Test-Tubular Adventure." The premise leaves Roger and Hayley in diminished roles, with little Francine, and, unsurprisingly, no Klaus at all. Disappointing character representation aside, this episode is ultimately satisfying. The tiring, hackneyed plot device of Steve aiming to lose his virginity after prom opens the story in a frustrating way, but the concept redeems itself pleasantly, starting with a failed-expectations twist and ending with an encouraging moral.

There’s Now A Full-Length Trailer For Disney’s Frozen

There's finally a full-length trailer for Disney's Frozen, after years of sparse details and one quick teaser. The film is an animated, musical comedy - akin to the likes of Tangled - based on the Danish fairytale of "the Snow Queen." Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee are co-directing, based on Lee's screenplay. For those unfamiliar with the duo, Buck has a lengthly list of Disney titles under his belt, directing Tarzan and aiding in the animation department of others, while Lee co-wrote the screenplay for Wreck-it Ralph.

South Park Review: “Let Go, Let Gov” (Season 17, Episode 1)

What better way to start out the 17th - yes, seventeenth - season of South Park than with a brand new introduction video! It's mostly the same with different animation, but the clip does open with Kenny's gravestone. Might this mean we will have a season 17 without him?

Here Are Some New, Disappointing Ender’s Game Posters

Three new posters for Ender's Game have been released, and they look just as hackneyed as you would imagine for a big-budget, sci-fi film. With no focus on the movie's concept, the posters do their best to create a clumsy collage of all of the film's big-name actors, almost laughably displayed in the perfect combination of blue and orange. Previous posters for the movie have fallen into the blue/orange trap as well, but at least their designs were moderately different than every sci-fi one-sheet you've ever seen.

First Image For Zac Efron Comedy That Awkward Moment

Today we have the first photo from indie comedy That Awkward Moment, showcasing its well-dressed stars: Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller. The film, previously titled Are We Officially Dating?, is directed by Tom Gormican (based on his screenplay) and tells the story of Efron, Jordan, and Teller's characters, who make a pact to remain single, and consequently I assume, almost surely fall in love.

Entire Cast Of Disney’s Into The Woods Finally Announced

To anyone who's longed to watch Johnny Depp portray "the Wolf" of classic fairytale lore, your wait will be over in 2014. And no, not to be directed by Tim Burton, but by Rob Marshall in Disney's upcoming live action adaptation of a Tony Award-winning musical, Into The Woods. For those uninitiated by their little sister's middle school production, Into The Woods is a Stephen Sondheim musical comedy that mashes up the stories of multiple Brothers Grimm fairytales.

Tom Hiddleston Replaces Benedict Cumberbatch In Crimson Peak

Fangirls, fret not; though Benedict Cumberbatch has left Guillermo del Toro's upcoming horror film, Crimson Peak, he's officially been replaced by a similarly talented and adored Brit: Tom Hiddleston. The actor, who can be seen this November in Thor: The Dark World, is joining the cast alongside of Charlie Hunnam, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska.

Will Smith Might Star In Independence Day 2, Or Not

Director Roland Emmerich is indeed making Independence Day 2, which is very tentatively scheduled to release approximately 20 years after its predecessor. Emmerich has stated that about half of the original cast - including Jeff Goldblum, thank God - will be returning, though he wouldn't want Will Smith to get top billing, thus overshadowing the rest of the cast. But according to Emmerich in a recent interview he did with Digital Spy, "anything can happen." Smith and Emmerich are back in talks about the film, and the possibility that ID2 will star Will Smith is back on the table.

True Blood Getting The True Death In 2014

After six campy, delicious seasons of vampire sex and violence, HBO's True Blood is finally coming to an end with season seven, which will consist of only ten episodes, just like season six. The show's major leads, Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, and most noteworthy, Alexander Skarsgård, are all scheduled to remain on True Blood through the end.
