Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Wrestling With The Complex Legacy Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ On Its 10th Anniversary Attempting to define legacy – whether of an individual, an institution, or a piece of art – can be a fraught proposition. By our very nature, human beings generally tend to crave oversimplified narratives to help make sense of a messy and chaotic world. After all, depending on who you ask, George Lucas will either go down as the godfather of all our nerdy obsessions or the monster who trampled on our collective childhoods, superhero blockbusters ought to be considered as either themodern heir-apparent to Greek mythor an unmitigated blight upon the sanctity of art itself, andGame of Throneswas either the greatest water cooler show of the modern era or a cautionary tale of how unwary creators can dismantle their own sterling reputation in just a final few episodes....

‘A Quiet Place Part II’ Trailer: The Sequel To The 2018 Hit Certainly Looks Intense A Quiet Placewas one of 2018’s perfect cinematic storms. A crowd-pleasing horror adventure with a big, emotional heart. A box office smash, grossing $340 million worldwide on a $17 million budget. A critical darling that used its high concept to tremendous effect. A reminder thatEmily Bluntis the profoundly talented leading lady we don’t deserve. And perhaps most surprisingly, evidence thatJohn Krasinskihas some serious chops as a filmmaker and that “Jim fromThe Office” made one of the strongest genre films of the decade and probably shouldn’t be referred to as “Jim fromThe Office” any longer....

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Footage Description [Comic Con 2014] As expected, the cast ofAvengers: Age of Ultron(minus an injured Joss Whedon) took the stage in Hall H during the Marvel Studios panel and presented the first footage anywhere from the highly anticipated sequel.

‘Better Call Saul’ Season 3 Video Lets Gus Fring Teach You About The Fast Food Business In its second season,Better Call Saulbecame as good asBreaking Bad, the series it spun off from in the first place. It achieved this by finding a unique voice to call its own, refusing to feel just like its predecessor. In place of Walter White, a monster hiding in an everyman’s clothing, the series put us on the side of Jimmy McGill, the kind-hearted schemer whose every step toward “Saul Goodman” was like a jab to the soul....
