Amy Adams is the best actress of her generation

Amy Adams just turned 50, and her acting legacy is already mightily impressive. The six-time Oscar nominee has given us masterful performances in pretty much every genre under the sun; she was a lively princess inEnchanted, the embodiment of virtue in Doubt, a badass working woman inThe Fighter, and a tortured soul inNocturnal Animals. Adams' versatility and willingness to take risks and always defy conventions and expectations make her the best actress of her generation. Her two best performances, as the cerebral linguist Louise Banks inArrivaland the self-harming alcoholic Camille Preaker inSharp Objects, show not only a remarkable emotional intelligence but an openness to tackle the deepest and often darkest aspects of the human condition. Many other actresses from her generation — Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain — are also absurdly talented, but

Which Actor Should Be the Next James Bond?

James Bond, like Batman or Superman, is an iconic role passed from actor to actor, generation to generation. Since Daniel Craig hung up his martini shaker, speculation about his successor has been persistent and unrelenting. From Henry Cavill to Tom Hiddleston, fans have eagerly tossed their favorites into the ring for the coveted license to kill, but in the end, there can only be one.With over $7 billion in box office revenue across the franchise, the stakes for casting the new Bond have never been higher. My list of hopeful picks for the next 007 is a mile long with every name you can imagine on the list, from Aaron Taylor-Johnson to Jonathan Bailey, Aaron Pierre, Theo James, and Tom Hughes. While the wait continues and speculation grows, who do you think should step into the shoes of the world's most famous spy?

Eiza González Should Be Your Next Wonder Woman

The recent casting of Aaron Pierre as John Stewart represents a major turning point in building the new DCU. However, there's a key figure whose status is still uncertain: Wonder Woman. It's currently unlikely that Gal Gadot will return to the role, meaning the Amazon Princess will probably have a new face in the DCU, and I'd like to recommend Eiza González for the role. The Mexican actress has slowly proven herself ever since her breakthrough role inEdgar Wright's 2017 action thrillerBaby Driver. This year, she cemented herself as a leading lady inGuy Ritchie's criminally underrated war comedyThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. González is ready to take on a major role, and who better than Wonder Woman? The 34-year-old actress already came very close to getting another key DC role, Catwoman inMatt Reeves'The Batman, but Wonder Woman might just be the role for her. What do you think? Who's your choice for the DCU's Wonder Woman?

Margaret Qualley will earn her first Oscar nomination for 'The Substance'

Coralie Fargeat's horror hitThe Substancekeeps surprising and overperforming in the early stages of awards season. Earlier this week, it received five Golden Globe nominations, including a somewhat surprising nod for Margaret Qualley in the supporting category. Qualley gives an incredible performance in the film, but much of the attention has been on her co-star,Demi Moore. With this boost, Qualley officially enters the race, and she might have a strong chance to make it to the Oscars.The Substanceis a bonafide hit, and it keeps hitting every mark necessary to have a strong showing come Oscar nominations. There is a case to be made for Qualley's Sue being a co-lead; however, there's also an argument for how Sue, as the film's de-facto antagonist, lacks an individual character arc and is entirely dependent on Moore's Elizabeth. Thus, her placement, while puzzling, is not necessarily controversial. It's unlikely that Qualley will win, but in this case, the nomination will be the win

Should Superman Still Have Trunks on the Outside of His Suit?

Now that we've gotten a proper look at David Corenswet's suit, we know that the Man of Steel will sport his iconic briefs in James Gunn's 'Superman' film next year. When Superman was first created in the 1930s, he was based on the strongmen of that time. They would regularly wear shorts outside their skin-tight suits for modesty. But nearly 100 years later, strongmen are a thing of the past, but Superman continues to wear his shorts. I think it's a fitting nod to his origins, but what do you think? Is it time to finally put them away?

Is Aliens better than Alien?

One of the seminal rules in the movie industry is that sequels almost always fail to live up to the original. However, there are exceptions to every rule; The Dark Knight, T2, The Godfather Part 2 all proved to do the opposite. However, one of the most hotly contested topics has been whether the sequel to Ridley Scott's iconic horror, Alien, was better than the original. Personally, I always found that Aliens took the concept of the original and just improved on it by showing us the full force of what "the perfect organism" is truly capable of. The action, tension and effects all get heightened to a level that makes Aliens a must-watch film for any sci-fi or film fan in general. What are your thoughts?

Ok, let's have it — who should play Doctor Doom in the MCU?

Yes, Marvel cast Giancarlo Esposito in a secret role — maybe he's Kang. Maybe he's Doom. Maybe his Squirrel Girl (the man can do anything). But all that aside, who should play Doctor Doom in the MCU? My pick is Alexander Skarsgård — creepy when he needs to be, funny when he needs to be, charming, scary, imposing, and all the things that an MCU Doom would have to be. He's also the same general age bracket RDJ was when he picked up Tony Stark, tall and buff enough to go up against the other Avengers physically, and just a little bit weird like Benedict Cumberbatch. As Doom mixes the skills and status of Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Black Panther, and Reed Richards, this works for me. What about you?

What Is Your Favorite Eddie Murphy Movie?

My personal favorite Eddie Murphy movie(s) are the first two Shrek movies. While yes they are animated, and yes Donkey is a supporting character, Murphy's personality and charisma shine so bright. It's easily one of the best roles of his career. However, if I can't pick a voice-over role, then I'd have to go with the original Beverly Hills Cop. I remember watching this for the first time and being surprised at how much the movie blended the action and the comedy. Unlike some of the action comedies that come out now, the first Beverly Hills Cop isn't afraid to be dark and gritty, the humor all comes from Murphy's incredible delivery (and of course Bronson Pinchot's Serge).

Jill Roberts is the best Ghostface in the Scream franchise

TheScreamseries has had its fair share of memorable killers, from the originals,Skeet UlrichandMatthew Lillard, toLaurie MetcalfandJack Quaid. However, the best Ghostace in the series isEmma Roberts' Jill Roberts fromScream 4. Sidney's (Neve Campbell) niece turns out to be a psychopathic, fame-hungry murderer who is willing to do everything necessary to get under that spotlight. This twist is arguably the most surprising in the franchise, largely thanks to Roberts' casting. You might know her now for playing iconic mean girls like Chanel Oberlin and Madison Montgomery, but back in 2011, Roberts was the epitome of the girl next door, best known for projects likeUnfabulousandHotel for Dogs.Scream 4changed the direction of her career, and audiences were more than a bit shocked to see she was so great at being bad. Plus, that scene where she hurts herself to make it seem as though Ghostface attacked her? Iconic, possibly the best sequence in the long-running franchise. What

Which Actor Should Play Robin to Robert Pattinson's Batman?

I'll be the first to admit that this is a loaded question. To start with, should Robert Pattinson's Batman even have a Robin, given the grounded and gritty world Matt Reeves has established? And, if there's room for Robin in this cinematic universe, which of the many contenders from the extensive legacy of Robins should take up the mantle of protecting Gotham City alongside the Caped Crusader?With options like Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Stephanie Brown, and Damian Wayne, each potential Robin will bring their own unique story, history, and influence on how this new iteration of the Dark Knight will unfold on the big screen. That being said, should we get the famed sidekick on our screens soon — if at all, which version of Robin would you like to see, and which actor do you think would be a great fit for the part?

What is your favorite M. Night Shyamalan Movie?

I've been officially Trap-pilled, even though I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm just an M. Night Shyamalan guy. Even his misses are interesting. Well except for The Last Airbender and After Earth, but let's just act like those movies don't exist.Shyamalan has made some all-timers, but if I had to choose a favorite, I have to go with the obvious answer: The Sixth Sense. The plot twist in this movie is nothing short of brilliant and is easily my favorite movie plot twist of all time. For better and for worse, it definitely seems like Shyamalan has been trying to recapture that kind of zeitgeist ever since. But who can really blame him for that? I'd do the same thing.This might be Bruce Willis' best non-Die Hard role. The fact that he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for his performance is criminal. It's hard to say whether or not Shyamalan will ever make another movie that lives up to The Sixth Sense's greatness. He's without question a very talented storyteller, but pondering whet

'Deadpool & Wolverine' certainly crams a lot of characters into its hearty runtime, but the one that stands out the most to me was Jennifer Garner's Elektra. Of all the extended cameos, Elektra felt the most natural, and Jennifer Garner did not miss a beat from her days headlining the 2005 movie. Sure, that movie might not have been the most well-received by critics and certainly could've done a lot better at the box office, but Garner's commitment to the role and overall badassery in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' is more than enough proof that we not only need another shot at a solo Elektra movie, but that Jennifer Garner should be the one to wield the swords again.

What's your favorite '90s movie?

The 1990s birthed countless massive hits and beloved classics, from Titanic to Pulp Fiction to The Matrix. Everyone has a favorite from this defining decade, but if you really had to pick just one best movie from the '90s, what would it be?

Who is your dream cast for a Knives Out sequel?

Rian Johnson has put together a pretty cool cast for Knives Out 3, but I can't help but think about a Knives Out film featuring my favorite actors. Who would you love to see star opposite Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc in a twisty murder mystery? I would happily pick Adam Driver, Kelly Marie Tran, Daniel Brühl, and Dakota Johnson.

Why do the new transformers look so different?

In the new Transformers movie 'Transformers One,' the characters look more like the classic action figures, which I'm all for if they're sticking to the original show vibes. But here's the thing—if this is supposed to be canon and happens before the 2007 movie, why do they look so different? How does the younger version of Optimus Prime have almost no extra parts, but the older version suddenly has a windshield on his chest and exhaust pipes on his shoulders? What's going on there?

What is the best Godzilla movie?

It's been a big year for cinema's most iconic monster, Godzilla, with more people discovering the outstanding Godzilla Minus One and getting completely swept up in his latest cinematic incarnation. Though not quite as good as something like Shin Godzilla, it still saw the creature smashing to bold new heights. There also is the continued rollout of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which recently began streaming on Max, but that's mostly just the equivalent of "we have Godzilla Minus One at home." Still, it raises an important question: what is the best Godzilla movie? There are a whole lot to choose from, dating all the way back to the original 1954 Godzilla, but we want to hear only about the best of the best. Make your case below why your movie smashes the competition underfoot.

What's the most accurate war movie?

There are countless war movies that provide entertainment (or shock) value, depending on what viewers are looking for. Fans of the genre who appreciate historical accuracy can turn to more realistic war movies like Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk, andAll Quiet on the Western Front (1930). Which is the most accurate war movie to date that also manages to tell a riveting story?

James Norton Should Be the Next James Bond

The conversation surrounding who the next James Bond will be is evergreen. Following Daniel Craig's fifteen-year tenure, theBondfranchise took a much-needed breather, but the time soon comes for it to return to movie theaters around the world. When it does, the underrated James Norton should 100% be wearing the tux. Norton, who's been active for over a decade in movies and television, is a remarkably gifted performer capable of being convincing as both a charming romantic lead, like inLittle Women, and a cold-blooded criminal, like in the riveting crime seriesHappy Valley. He has the range to be both intimidating and dashing, precise yet alluring; moreover, Norton should already be a huge star, and a role like 007 could finally take him to the A-list. What do you think? Who is your choice to be the next James Bond?

What's Will Ferrell's Most Underrated Movie?

Will Ferrell is a comedy king, there is no question. I love his era of 'Saturday Night Live' and his brilliant collaborations with Cheri Oteri and Molly Shannon. I mean, can you really beat the Spartan Cheerleaders? No. The wonderfully bizarre Dog Show? Mr. Bojangles is an icon. Of course, 'Elf,' 'Anchorman,' 'Wedding Crashers,' and 'Step Brothers' all spring to mind when we think of his movies, but there's one that rarely gets the attention (if any at all) it deserves. 2005's 'Kicking & Screaming' starring Ferrell, Robert Duvall, Kate Walsh, and a baby Josh Hutcherson is a hilarious sports comedy in which Ferrell's Phil competes against his father (Duvall) to see who can coach the better kids' soccer team. Probably the best part of the movie is when Phil discovers the wonders of coffee...and subsequently gets banned from a coffee shop. And it's PG? This movie is funnier than it has every right to be.

What book needs a movie or TV adaptation next?

Book adaptations have given us some pretty excellent movies and television over the years. Like anything else, they can be hit or miss, but I love to see variations on books and how they turn out on-screen. Book adaptations brought us The Shining, Game of Thrones, Poor Things, and tons of takes on Frankenstein. Recently it was announced another Grady Hendrix book is going to be an HBO series, and Saltburn's Emerald Fennell will be taking on Wuthering Heights! I'd love to see the TV series adaptation (in talks back in 2019) of Madeline Miller's Circe. Which book would you like to see adapted into a movie or TV show?
