There’s no better way to start your morning than by trying to remember which Martin Scorsese movies John C. Reilly has appeared in — and now Vulture is providing that experience to you nine times a day, five days a week. (Well, not that exact experience; that wouldn’t be much of a game.)
We’re pleased to introduce our new Cinematrix, a grid-game-style movie trivia romp that we hope will join the 10x10 crossword puzzle as an essential part of your daily gaming regimen.
Never Miss a Game
Get the 10x10 crossword and Cinematrix sent to your inbox every weekday.
Each weekday, the Cinematrix will have new clues along the top and side. Your goal is to identify a movie for each of the nine squares that satisfies the two intersecting clues with the number of possible answers ranging from a few (Melissa McCarthy movies directed by Paul Feig) to dozens (Samuel L. Jackson movies that earned more than $100 million at the box office).
This isn’t today’s game, since that would be a spoiler. Photo-Illustration: Vulture
You have just nine guesses to complete the grid — make a mistake, and your quest for perfection will have to wait until the following day, though you can still put up a nice score by making canny choices with your remaining picks.
