It’s November, which means we’re getting all the heartwarming Christmas movies we can shove into a stocking. As promised this time last year, Lindsay Lohan has returned to acting in “Falling for Christmas.” The new rom-com decked in pine boughs and twinkly lights is on the way to Netflix, though you could be forgiven for thinking it was from Hallmark Channel or Lifetime....

Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon Director Ana Lily Amirpour Has Questions [Exclusive Interview] Saban Films By Jack Giroux/Oct. 3, 2022 4:57 pm EST “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon” is, as expected from writer and director Ana Lily Amirpour, a trip. It’s another dark fairy tale from the filmmaker. The original story follows the telekinetic titular character (played by Jeon Jong-seo) on a journey of highs and lows in the streets of New Orleans....

Netflix’s Resident Evil Season 1 Ending Explained: A Tale Of Two Timelines Netflix By BJ Colangelo/July 15, 2022 9:30 am EST Netflix recently debuted their new live-action series “Resident Evil,” a wholly unique take on the world created for the hit Capcom video game of the same name. Rather than deliver a faithful adaptation of the games or a complete departure from the game’s lore, the Netflix “Resident Evil” series falls somewhere in between....

Angela Kinsey was pregnant during the shoot NBC In the season 4 finale (“Goodbye, Toby”), Phyllis throws an epic goodbye party for Toby, where Andy proposes to Angela. She reluctantly agrees, only to return to the arms of Dwight. When Phyllis returns to the office after the party cleanup, she finds Dwight and Angela in a romantic embrace. The scene only lasts for a few seconds, but it’s integral to one of the show’s main plotlines....

It ain’t easy being fire Disney / Pixar “Elemental” director Pete Sohn and producers Pete Docter and Denise Ream were on hand at D23 to present the very first look at the latest Pixar original feature, which takes place in Elemental City where earth, air, water, and fire beings co-exist. “Some elements mix with each other, and some don’t,” Sohn said. “What if these elements were alive?” Ethan Anderton described the look as less Metropolis and more “Wet-tropolis,” and says the early animatic footage the filmmakers screened focused on Ember....

Sideshow’s Superman: Call To Action Premium Format Statue Comes To The Rescue [Exclusive] Max Evry By Max Evry/Sept. 30, 2022 3:28 pm EST Late last year we took a detailed look at Sideshow Collectibles’ Batman Premium Format Figure, which was part of the company’s ongoing DC collection where their artists put their own spins on iconic characters, including Superman. However, they have also created a statue that provides a more traditional interpretation of the Man of Steel as he transitions from his Clark Kent persona to the big blue Boy Scout we all know and love....

Sidney Lumet Had A Simple Goal While He Was Making 12 Angry Men United Artists By Devin Meenan/Aug. 20, 2022 4:27 pm EST Many of Sidney Lumet’s movies have social themes. “Network” is an eerily prescient satire of corporate media and television as a vehicle for demagoguery. “Serpico” explores police corruption and the real-life assassination attempt on the incorruptible officer Frank Serpico. This political conscience goes right back to Lumet’s debut, “12 Angry Men....

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 Will Premiere In January 2023 [D23] Lucasfilm By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 10, 2022 1:44 pm EST The D23 Expo is officially and finally here, providing fans with another opportunity to sample the most exciting upcoming projects — even after the tidal wave of fun surprises and exciting footage that San Diego Comic-Con had to offer earlier this year. Still, this Disney-exclusive event has already given a late-summer jolt to the system with likely more treats yet to come, and /Film’s own Ethan Anderton is on the ground for all of it....

The 15 Best John Candy Movies, Ranked Universal Pictures By Margaret David/Dec. 11, 2022 3:15 pm EST John Candy may no longer be with us, but he’s still Canada’s national treasure. Amongst his raunchy ’80s peers, the Second City comedy alumnus had a gift. His warmth never failed to give us a smile when he appeared on-screen. His best films built on that endlessly loving part of Candy, turning him into an honorary family member, a silly babysitter for our darker days....

The Jungle Book (2016) Walt Disney Pictures Disney’s recent trend of adapting classic animated films into live-action has been generally disappointing, but Jon Favreau’s remake of “The Jungle Book” actually improved upon its predecessor. Although it features photo-realistic CGI animals, the beloved characters come to life thanks to a deep bench of voice acting talent. Baloo the Bear is even funnier when he’s voiced by Bill Murray, and the tiger Shere Khan is more terrifying thanks to Idris Elba....

The Best Sci-Fi Movies Streaming In December 2022 And Where To Watch Them One Cool Pictures/Netflix By Cameron Roy Hall/Nov. 29, 2022 1:22 pm EST This may come as a culture shock but December isn’t typically known as the best month for releasing science fiction media. People tend to expect magic and music and the strengthening of familial bonds, apparently. ‘Tis the season and all that. Still, no amount of holiday spirit could halt the unyielding juggle which keeps streaming sites like Netflix and HBO Max above water....

The Success Of Tim Burton’s Batman Sparked A Legal Battle At Warner Bros. Warner Bros. By Miyako Pleines/Nov. 13, 2022 2:30 pm EST Many directors have taken on the challenge of bringing Batman to the big screen. Some have been successful, while others have created … well, less successful renderings of the infamous vigilante. Tim Burton’s 1989 adaptation of the comics is often looked upon as one of the best realizations of the story of Bruce Wayne....

Trying To Meddle With The Ending Lost Paramount Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing Universal Pictures By Lyvie Scott/Dec. 12, 2022 2:49 pm EST Hollywood has always shown a preference for films that offer reconciliation between their Black and white subjects. And as a result, the industry is notoriously skittish with the work of Spike Lee. There’s been a pattern, especially at the Academy Awards, where Lee’s films are concerned: the director is consistently snubbed in favor of films that comfort white audiences — films like “Driving Miss Daisy,” which took home the Oscar for Best Picture in 1990 while “Do The Right Thing” was shut out from the category altogether....

It all sounds exciting, but how real is this project? Continental Distributing What gets a little murky here is just how real this project is. If you’re not familiar, the American Film Market (or AFM) is a place where films find their financing, usually through pre-selling distribution rights to foreign territories. That likely means this new “Night of the Living Dead” isn’t financed and is depending on selling distribution rights in, say, Europe and Asia....

3rd Rock From The Sun’s Biggest Challenge Was Keeping Its Stories Believable NBC Universal By J. Gabriel Ware/Oct. 29, 2022 6:00 pm EST What’s more unbelievable than a sitcom about four aliens who land on Earth and assume human identities to study life on the planet? Add the fact that the human incarnations of these aliens don’t exactly correspond with their identities (e.g. one extraterrestrial is a male trapped in a woman’s body)....

We need to talk about Aemond HBO A 10-year time jump saw the rogue prince become a coolheaded and somewhat content family man. And while he was languishing across the narrow sea, drinking bad wine and silently longing for home, a challenger was on the rise. The seventh episode of “House of the Dragon” has officially confirmed it: there’s a new rogue prince in town and he’s coming for Daemon’s crown....

Barbarian’s Marketing Undersold One Of The Films’ Best Performances 20th Century Studios By Lex Briscuso/Sept. 13, 2022 11:00 am EST This post doesn’t contain major spoilers for “Barbarian,” but you shouldn’t read it until you’ve seen the movie. I remember exactly how I felt the first time I looked up the new horror-mystery “Barbarian” and found out that Justin Long was inexplicably part of its cast. If I could distill it down to one word, I’d use elated, but intrigued and unsettled came up as close seconds and thirds....

Christina Ricci Sees Something Strangely Relatable About Her Yellowjackets Character Showtime By Joshua Meyer/Dec. 2, 2022 7:53 am EST This post contains spoilers for “Yellowjackets” season 1. On Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” Misty Quigly, played by Christina Ricci as an adult and Sammi Hanratty as a teenager in flashbacks, is an outcast with a twisted character profile. As the equipment manager for the WHS Yellowjackets girls’ soccer team, Misty is unpopular. Yet she has an overwhelming desire to fit in and is willing to go to some very questionable lengths to make that happen....

Will Rebel Moon save the galaxy – and Netflix? Universal Pictures No details are readily available about the roles Coleman, Fee, and Rees will be playing in the movie, but they join an already-stacked cast that includes Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou, Alfonso Herrera, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Stuart Martin, Michiel Huisman, and Sofia Boutella. Boutella will play the film’s lead, a young hero who has to forge alliances with neighboring planets in order to save her own....

Because today, Netflix released a new trailer for the upcoming film “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” The new offering will feature the return of Daniel Craig’s Blanc and his delicious accent. We first met the good detective in 2019’s “Knives Out,” along with a wild list of stars, including Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, Jaeden Martell, Christopher Plummer....
