Five years after he took home the Oscar for his instantly iconic performance as Nazi Colonel Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, Christoph Waltz has yet to convince us that he should ever stop playing the bad guy. Luckily, we have word that the actor is going psycho once more, for crime drama The Worst Marriage in Georgetown, which he'll also direct.

After stinking up the multiplex with Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 last month, is Kevin James finally searching for critical redemption? Nah, don't think so.

Well, I'd imagine there are some folks on Twitter who'll have something to say about this.

Could Ant-Man be Marvel's first box-office small-fry? Coming on the heels of Avengers: Age of Ultron, the movie has been short-changed by the marketing department to a dismaying degree, especially when compared to the other July blockbusters (like Terminator Genisys and Pixels).

Rosamund Pike's icy performance as the sociopathic Amy Dunne in David Fincher's Gone Girl was one of the most impressive big-screen introductions to a lead actress in some time (sure, she'd had a few supporting roles up until then, but no one is going to remember her for The World's End or Jack Reacher).
