This Week In DVD & Blu-Ray: The American, Resident Evil: Afterlife, Archer (Season 1) By Adam Quigley/Dec. 28, 2010 12:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Much like its FX counterpart, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer is a show about horrible people doing horrible things. Premised as a ’60s spy thriller spoof, the series adopts the same irreverent brand of humor we’ve come to expect from creator Adam Reed (Frisky Dingo, Sealab 2021), thrusting our deviant band of self-obsessed special agents through the ringer as they spout fiercely clever/cleverly stupid insults at one another and zanily stumble through mission after mission—with varying degrees of blood loss....

VOTD: Steven Spielberg Talks About ‘War Horse’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 28, 2011 10:00 am EST On Sunday there were War Horse screenings in New York and a handful of other cities, with Steven Spielberg doing a post-show Q&A in NYC that was simulcast to the other cities.

‘21 Jump Street 2’ Could Shoot This Fall; ‘Men In Black 4’ And Rebooted ‘Jumanji’ In Development By Angie Han/July 19, 2012 1:00 pm EST Much as we like to bemoan the lack of originality in mainstream cinema, the fact is that movies tied to existing properties do big business. Sony’s three biggest hits so far this year have been 21 Jump Street, Men in Black 3, and The Amazing Spider-Man – based on a 25-year-old TV series, a 15-year-old sci-fi blockbuster, and a 60-year-old comic book character, respectively — so it’s no surprise that the studio plans to keep a good thing going with sequels to all three of those films....
