New trailer for By the Sea shows Jolie and Pitt having trouble in paradise


The first trailer we saw for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s By the Sea was a listless, restless spot, that showcased crying, drinking, smoking, and plenty of spousal abuse.

And now a new trailer for the film has debuted, and … it’s a listless, restless spot, that showcases crying, drinking, smoking, and plenty of spousal abuse.

You know what you’re in for if you buy a ticket for this one: You’re going to be watching a train wreck, but oh what a beautiful train wreck it will be. As much as the movie business may change, putting absurdly beautiful people in absurdly beautiful places may still be a winning formula.

Brad Pitt brooding on a rocky shore, Angelina Jolie leaning longingly on a balcony railing — just in time for Halloween, this trailer delivers basket after basket of delicious eye candy.

Filmed on the rocky coast of Gozo, a tiny island off Malta with a population of just 31,000, the film seems to use its idyllic location to make the point that, no matter how perfect things may look on the surface, they can be seriously ugly and mangled beneath it.

Since neither co-star says a single word in this trailer, it’s tough to glean anything too meaningful, but the real draw here is that we get Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the same screen for the first time since Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005). This time around, Jolie also directed the film, and fans of Brangelina will have to hope that a couple working together on a film about a couple growing apart isn’t a recipe for a real-life relationship disaster. But something tells us Hollywood’s favorite power couple will be just fine.

By the Sea is set to hit theaters Nov. 13, 2015

However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
