Ray Kroc built an empire — and he took it from the founders. Richard and Maurice McDonald started the ubiquitous fast-food restaurant in 1948. They were never interested in expanding, until Ray Kroc joined them in 1955. Kroc took the business from a handful of locations and built it into the behemoth we know today. Michael Keaton stars as Ray in The Founder, in theaters January 20, 2017.

Now if we can get Jesse Pinkman as Director of the FBI, we can really make America cook again.
Other than the presence of Kurt Russell, you wouldn't really consider The Hateful Eight and The Thing to have a lot in common. The former is a western that takes place in a post-Civil War Wyoming, while the later is a sci-fi in moden-day Antarctica. No stranger to a good cinematic tribute, Quentin Tarantino has unashamedly drawn inspiration from John Carpenter's 1982 classic. Not only using three unused tracks from its original soundtrack, but also paying tribute to the film visually, highlighted in this side-by-side comparison.

Spoiler warning. With its convoluted timelines, unknowable motives, and strange questions, Westworld does an excellent job of keeping you guessing.
