‘In short, Sadie Sink is really good at playing pissed off’ Netflix In the interview with Variety, Brendan Fraser praises Sadie Sink’s performance over and again, saying: “Sadie Sink has an uncanny ability to focus rage in a way that I’ve never seen in a young actor before.

HBO By Michael Boyle/Dec. 12, 2022 2:00 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the season 2 finale of “The White Lotus.” Of all the new characters on season 2 of “The White Lotus,” Harper (Aubrey Plaza) was the most important. At least, that’s how it felt in the beginning: right off the bat, she was skeptical of Cameron (Theo James) and Daphne (Meghann Fahy), and frustrated with her husband Ethan (Will Sharpe) for not taking her concerns more seriously....

Ready to make magic again Disney In the press conference, Adams revealed that she didn’t feel as if she was returning to Giselle, but that the character was always with her: “I feel like Giselle never left me.

Houston, we have a problem Universal Pictures Released in 1995, director Ron Howard’s “Apollo 13” centers on the titular NASA lunar mission-gone-wrong. Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Bacon starred as the real-life astronauts who had to safely navigate their way back to Earth after their spacecraft suffered a mechanical failure causing an on-board explosion part-way through their journey to the Moon. Leading the charge on the ground to bring the three men back in the film is Harris’ White Team Flight Director Gene Kranz....

Season 5 FX Network Season 5 of “Justified” is the calm before the storm, an extended lead-up to Season 6 that positions Raylan and Boyd for one last showdown. On that level, it succeeds. On every other, it’s a sterling disappointment. That sounds like a contradiction, but it’s not, at least so far as “Justified” is concerned. The show still looks and feels fantastic, and every single series regular pulls their weight on-screen as per usual....

Madame Web release date and where you can watch it Marvel Comics After a bit of reshuffling, “Madame Web” is currently scheduled to open in theaters on October 6, 2023. It was previously due to arrive to three months earlier on July 7, which would’ve placed it right between “Indiana Jones 5” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” on the release calendar. Given the relative obscurity of the movie’s title character, Sony probably made a wise decision in shifting the SSU adventure away from the summer season and into the relatively less competitive early fall....

The only good bug is a dead bug TriStar Pictures “Starship Troopers” wears the trench coat of a goofy war movie. It’s got big guns, bigger bugs, and all of the bare butts a rowdy movie crowd might want. But underneath the gnarly war wounds and mandatory patriotism are their rigid ideals, pushed right to the edge of absurdity. Such is the approach Verhoeven explained to Ironside, who would go on to play squad leader Rasczak (a combination of two characters from the novel, Rico’s teacher and his commanding officer) in the film....

Prisoners Made Two Separate Dreams Come True For Director Denis Villeneuve Warner Bros. Pictures By Devin Meenan/Sept. 19, 2022 11:44 am EST Not many international filmmakers have broken into Hollywood on the level that Denis Villeneuve has over the last decade. A French-Canadian, Villeneuve began as a director in Québécois cinema but won international attention for 2009’s “Polytechnique” (about the real life École Polytechnique massacre in 1989) and 2010’s “Incendies” (a dark drama about twins who discover their family’s disturbing history in Lebanon)....

Seth Rogen Credits Steven Spielberg For Indirectly Launching His Acting Career Universal Pictures By Joe Roberts/Dec. 14, 2022 1:14 pm EST Before he was a household name, Seth Rogen was really determined to become one. Back when his only notable role was as Ken Miller in the cult hit “Freaks and Geeks,” the up-and-coming actor had big ambitions to take over Hollywood — if only so that, as he told Vanity Fair in 2012, he could “get girls to sleep with [him]”....

It is a genre intrinsically tied with the social, political, and economic strife of any particular time — oftentimes, the cyclical nature of humanity will mean that a sci-fi movie relevant in the 1950s will become relevant in the 2020s....

Bill & Ted Face the Music United Artists Releasing For every dozen or so belated comedy sequels that leave a bad taste in your mouth, there’s a rare gem like “Bill & Ted Face the Music.” Released almost 30 years after the second movie in the cult comedy series, “Bogus Journey,” the threequel picks up with the lovable, guitar-playing buffoons Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) and William S. “Bill” Preston, Esq....

The Coen Brothers Used No Country For Old Men As A Sort Of Casting Call Miramax Films By Devin Meenan/Aug. 6, 2022 6:00 pm EST “No Country For Old Men” is a stand-out film for Joel and Ethan Coen, finally earning the brothers an Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director. It is also one of their darkest films. The story is similar to “Fargo”— an incompetent man gets drawn into a criminal scheme and tries to make it out with a big payday — but “No Country” is devoid of the black comedy that made “Fargo” so distinctive....
