Deadpool

Think superhero movies are for kids? Think again.

Deadpool finally met his first MCU character.

Hugh Jackman did not plan for this.

Marvel... toilet paper? An Iron Man ... light-up fanny pack? Right

(Thank goodness.)

From 'Avengers: Infinity War' to slow-burning thriller 'A Quiet Place,' these are the movies we've been obsessed with in the first half of 2018.

Ryan Coogler’s ‘Black Panther’ is already breaking records, topping both ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ‘Deadpool’ with its Thursday night opening.

CEO Bob Iger says that he intends to keep running with certain ongoing series, even the R-rated ones.

The Merc With the Mouth gets artistic in the first ‘Deadpool 2’ teaser, revealing a first-look at brand-new characters.

Deadpool might need to watch his back. IT, the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s horror epic, just broke one of the R-rated box office champ’s records — and is primed to break a couple more before the end of the weekend. It’s doubtful that Pennywise will come close to overtaking the Merc With a Mouth’s massive box office haul, but it’s quite a win for the new horror film from Andy Muschietti, which already has a sequel in the works for 2019.

In the superhero movie business, ratings have until now seemed like a pretty simple business. The way to get the biggest audience while also keeping in as much fantasy violence and perilous situations to stay true to the comics was to shoot for the middle ground, a nice, nonthreatening PG-13. No full-on nudity, no blood splatter, and relegate your one allocated f-word to Wolverine. But the times, they are a-changin’, and superhero movies are changing right along with them, starting with shooting for the more mature, edgier R-rating. As it turns out, this is exactly the direction audiences want them to go.

The Internet Movie Database is a fount of helpful information. With a few simple clicks, users can learn who shot the Miley Cyrus vehicle So Undercover (Things to Come cinematographer Denis Lenoir), which sequel in the Hellraiser franchise featured a performance from a young Adam Scott (the fourth one), or how old Taraji P. Henson is (who looks that good at 46?!). As a repository for loose factoids from in and around the world of screen entertainment, it can’t be beat. As a source for critical perspectives on those same films, however... hoo boy. Just take a gander at any comment section for a movie’s page and marvel at the IMDb is the site where rabid anti-Ghostbusters zealots congregated to downvote Paul Feig’s movie into oblivion weeks before its actual release, and the newly-released IMDb Top 10 provides an even clearer view of its user base.
