The movie, opening Sunday, reunites almost the entire cast — including Denzel Washington as bitter former baseball player turned garbage man Troy Maxson and Viola Davis as his long-suffering wife, Rose.

In an attempt to cut through all the holiday clutter on TV, here’s a look at the 25 specials of the season you should check out.
After being sorely missed in last summer’s “Jurassic World,” Jeff Goldblum is bringing his eccentric line readings to this weekend’s “Independence Day: Resurgence.” He’ll follow that up by portraying The Grandmaster in next fall’s “Thor: Ragnarok.”
‘Roadies’ the latest example of rock ‘n’ roll-themed show that falls short of what it could be.
There really are no winners in “Batman v Superman.” That includes moviegoers looking for anything resembling a good time.
When it was announced that David O. Russell’s next movie would tell the story of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano, I couldn’t wait to see how the filmmaker responsible for such recent delights as “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle” could turn that into a compelling movie.
“You know, plenty of shows out there are, like, ‘Here’s the kid with cancer; now give me an Emmy.’ We’re a show that’s here to show you a hell of a good time for 45 minutes each and every week. That’s our job.”
Eight bits isn’t just the style of the video games celebrated in “Pixels”; it’s also roughly how much you should pay to see it.
With “Ex Machina,” writer-director Alex Garland (“28 Days Later”) has crafted an intimate, wondrous, unsettling look at artificial intelligence.
Apollo Robbins, credited as “con artist adviser/pickpocket design,” created 40 bits of thievery for the new Will Smith movie.
If anything, this cheap, obvious and lazy thriller should leave you looking forward to the singer’s likely Las Vegas residency. After all, every day she’s performing on the Strip is another day she can’t be making movies like this one.
Here’s a look at this week’s new movies, “Hercules,” “Lucy,” “And So It Goes,” “A Most Wanted Man,” “Wish I Was Here,” “The Fluffy Movie” and “Le Chef”:
The cable channel is airing a marathon of 34 movies honoring servicemen and servicewomen, ranging from 1926’s World War I comedy-drama “The Better ‘Ole” to Clint Eastwood in 1970’s “Kelly’s Heroes.”
Now that’s how you make a summer blockbuster! There’s more sheer tonnage of awesomeness in the first 10 minutes of “X-Men: Days of Future Past” than in the entirety of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”
You never know who you’ll run into at CinemaCon.
