Andrew Garfield Is a Pacifist Going To War In First Trailer For Mel Gibson’s ‘Hacksaw Ridge’

How Easy Is It for Someone Who’s Never Watched ‘Game of Thrones’ to Understand ‘Game of Thrones’?
With dozens upon dozens of main characters, complex intersecting plots, and a detailed off-screen history, there’s no denying that ‘Game of Thrones’ can be a difficult show to follow. Even as a diehard fan I often refer to Wikipedia pages and read recaps to keep up with the events of the show. But is it actually that hard to understand? Can a total ‘Thrones’ newbie jump into the show six seasons in and figure out what’s happening?

If you’re looking to cast an actor as a humble, honorable American hero in your movie, Tom Hanks is your man. He’s the kind of good guy the whole family can get behind, and who will make your dad tear up at the movies. And now he’s playing that role again, this time in pilot’s gear.

The colorful pointy haired creatures seemed too demented to be kids toys. But that’s not the case for the new Trolls movie, which looks to be very kid-friendly.
Meet Anya Taylor-Joy’s ‘Morgan’ in New Trailer For the Sci-Fi Thriller

Nate Parker Leads an Uprising in First Full ‘The Birth of a Nation’ Trailer
As soon as Nate Parker’s ‘The Birth of a Nation’ premiered at Sundance earlier this year, the film immediately joined the Oscar conversation.
