Director Ryan Coogler Talks Working With Sylvester Stallone On Creed

First-time director Ryan Coogler made quite the impact on moviegoers in 2013, thanks to his acclaimed drama Fruitvale Station picking up two big honors at Sundance as well as a solid box-office take last summer. Now, he is moving to a more commercially viable film with Creed, a spin-off of Rocky antagonist Apollo Creed (who was played by Carl Weathers in the classic boxing films).

Watch The Evolution Of Youth In New Boyhood Trailer

Full disclosure: there is no movie opening this summer that I want to see more than Boyhood, Richard Linklater's critically-adored drama that took 12 years to make. The nearly three-hour film was the toast of Sundance and could be a nice independent hit when it comes out in limited release on July 11.

The Other Woman Review

The Other Woman stars many beautiful people, but is an ugly, unfunny mess, full of irritating characters who are devoid of humanity.

Brendan Gleeson Tries To Fool Taylor Kitsch In The Grand Seduction Trailer

Taylor Kitsch's film career did not get off to the best of starts in 2012, when John Carter, Battleship and Savages all disappointed at the North American box office. However, the actor, who shot to fame with his role as Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights, chose wisely to try his hand at some smaller projects with more refined stories. He has two films set for May, the HBO drama The Normal Heart with Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo, and the film festival favourite The Grand Seduction, a Canadian comedy from director Don McKellar (Last Night).

Chapman Goes Crazy In First Clip From Orange Is The New Black Season 2

Orange is the New Black is this summer's most anticipated show... and also the most likely to dethrone Modern Family as the top comedy at this year's Emmy Awards. Although the series combines humour and tragedy, and silliness and darkness, Netflix decided wisely to submit Jenji Kohan's hit in the comedy category, where it is more likely to pick up trophies. However, a second season that does not deliver the same crazy fun or take advantage of the show's diverse, manic ensemble cast could dilute the chance of it picking up trophies for its first season.

Modern Family Review: “Australia” (Season 5, Episode 20)

It is fitting that Modern Family’s "Australia" begins with a shot of Luke, upside down, trying to impress his family with a handstand. The shot foreshadows the odd, upside-down adventures that the Dunphy, Pritchett and future Pritchett-Tucker clans will partake in during their Australian excursion. However, coming so soon after another family trip, this season's triumphant “Las Vegas,” this episode is too rushed and randomly plotted to achieve the manic comedy highs that catapulted that half-hour. This episode takes place in the land down under, but it is the jokes that feel under par for this ace comedy ensemble.
