Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Last Wolverine #3! An iconic X-Men hero just sacrificed their own life to save Wolverine. As Marvel’s Age of Revelation crossover event hurtles toward its conclusion, The Last Wolverine tie-in series just ended with a bloodbath.

The Last Wolverine #3 is written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Edgar Salazar. The miniseries’ finale finds its heroes, including Logan’s replacement as Wolverine, Leonard, finally freeing the hero from Revelation’s mind control. Unfortunately,…

Despite its entirely digital construction and sometimes uncanny mix of 24 and 48FPS 3D, Avatar: Fire and Ash is full of messy human impulse which place it well above its big budget Hollywood contemporaries. As fellow Little White Lies contributor Mark Asch said, it’s funny to think of James Cameron as a traditionalist when his work has long-been technology-forward (“Recent years have seen so many former enemies upgraded to auteur status.“) but it’s those beats which make Avatar feel both old school and curiously new at once. Picking up pretty soon after its predecessor director James Cameron sticks to archetypical figures…

I still consider myself a film critic by trade. But more and more I eat movies and TV shows for a living.A slight exaggeration, perhaps. But consuming a bunch of weird Denny’s food inspired by Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four one time ten years ago has turned into a decade of devouring bizarre dishes, snacks, drinks, and treats all based on films and television series. Do I have any regrets? Are you kidding? Of course I do! It’s pretty much all regret! But I made my bed and now I have to lie in it while digesting a Little Caesars pizza with four different flavors on…

Renowned author George R. R. Martin has written more than the Song of Ice and Fire novels, which spawned television series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, the latter of which promises a bloody Targaryen war when it returns for its third season next summer. That said, apart from his sprawling fantasy powerhouse, precious few of his works have been adapted for television or film. His novelette “Sandkings,” for one, was adapted for television and served as the pilot episode for the rebooted Outer Limits in 1995. Another is Nightflyers, which was first adapted for film in 1987…

The memory of 2010’s How Do You Know – a film that stumbled both critically and commercially – disappeared without a trace. So when the trailer for his new film, Ella McCay, appeared, announcing his return to the fray after a prolonged absence, anticipation came mixed with doubt.Emma Mackey, who made a name for herself on small screen hit, Sex Education, leads as a newly-elected state governor, an ambitious politician whose rapid rise is complicated by various personal dramas. In her orbit is a useless husband (Jack Lowden), a deadbeat father (Woody Harrelson), a fiercely protective…

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the IT: Welcome to Derry finale. IT: Welcome to Derry might be set in 1962, 27 years before the events of the first IT film, but there are many similarities to be found between the two. The most obvious is that Bill Skarsgård is again under the Pennywise makeup, and Andy Muschietti is involved in the creation of both adaptations of Stephen King’s iconic novel, but the parallels don’t stop there. Even our new group of Losers has attachments to the future, with doomed Teddy Uris (Mikkal Karim Fidler) related to Stanley Uris,…
