5 Brilliant Paul Sorvino Movies And Where You Can Watch Them Warner Bros. By BJ Colangelo/July 26, 2022 8:45 am EST We’ve lost a monumental figure in cinema, with the brilliant Paul Sorvino passing away at the age of 83. A commanding presence on both stage and screen, Sorvino amassed a whopping 172 credits in film and television alone if IMDb is to be believed. Sorvino made a name for himself by playing tough guys, gangsters, and tough-as-nails cops, but every once in a while was given the opportunity to play something a little softer, which really gave him the chance to have fun on screen....

Avatar: The Way Of Water Is The Culmination Of Every James Cameron Obsession 20th Century Studios By Jeremy Smith/Dec. 16, 2022 7:00 pm EST 40 years ago, James Cameron made his directorial debut with “Piranha II: The Spawning.” Kind of. The then 28-year-old filmmaker found himself dealing with a hostile producer (Ovidio G. Assonitis) and an Italian crew that did not speak English. It’s unclear how much of the film Cameron actually directed or edited (one version of the story holds that Assonitis fired him before the end of the shoot; another claims he was barred from the editing room), but lurking within this horrid sequel to Joe Dante’s surprisingly nifty rip-off of “Jaws” is the germ of a theme Cameron would chew on for the rest of his career....

Chucky Season 2 Offers The Most Meta Moment Yet For The Horror Franchise USA and Syfy By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 7, 2022 10:07 am EST Don Mancini’s “Chucky/Child’s Play” franchise is undoubtedly one of the greatest in horror history, with seven movies, a season of television, and a new second season currently playing on USA and Syfy. As Mancini has been involved with the franchise since the very beginning, the lore of “Child’s Play” has never had to endure revisionist history, retcons of memorable events, or even different screenwriters like most of its contemporaries....

Every Main Character In Barbarian Ranked Worst To Best 20th Century Studios By Layla Halfhill/Sept. 11, 2022 10:24 am EST “Barbarian” is the new horror movie released by 20th Century Studios, written and directed by first-timer Zach Cregger. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know it’s a chaotically insane movie with one surprising, messed-up twist after another and more than a few “wtf” moments. Critics, including our own Ryan Scott, are raving about how bonkers it is, with the main sentiment being that it’s best to go into the theater knowing nothing about the film to be completely surprised by its wild turns....

The dramatic purpose of jumping off a speeding train Warner Bros In an interview with Vanity Fair, the newly-minted octogenarian says, “I never considered myself to be an action film actor. There was action in the films that I was involved in, but they weren’t specifically, fairly described as ‘action films.’” I mean, you’re running away from the rear-projection of a derailed train in the poster of “The Fugitive,” but do go on, Mr....

Here’s Where You Can Stream Game Of Thrones In 4K HBO By Shania Russell/July 26, 2022 11:53 am EST Ahead of “House of the Dragon” debuting in just a few weeks, the braver among us have ventured back into the lore of Westeros with a “Game of Thrones” rewatch. It’s a pretty bleak march forward when you know where it all ends, so maybe in the hopes of distracting from that controversial ending, HBO is sweetening the deal by making all eight seasons of “Game of Thrones” available to stream in 4K Ultra HD, HDR 10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on HBO Max (via Variety)....

Javier Bardem Had A Dream Come True With His No Country For Old Men Casting Miramax By Jeremy Smith/July 18, 2022 9:14 pm EST For 34 years, filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen operated as an inseparable, masterpiece-generating unit. The two movies widely considered to be their misfires (“Intolerable Cruelty” and “The Ladykillers”) would count as triumphs for most filmmakers. Aspiring directors wanted to be them. Up-and-coming actors wanted nothing more than to work with them....

The legend Paramount “The Shootist” begins with a veritable highlight reel of John Wayne westerns, as the bitter father figure of “Red River” and the beleaguered sheriff of “Rio Bravo.” This montage, full of classic John Wayne shootouts, effectively functions as backstory for the hero of this movie, J.B. Books. More importantly, it places “The Shootist” explicitly in a continuum of John Wayne movies, playing a more subdued take on the character against our memories of him....

I really had this built up in my head where, there’s no way they’re going to do it and I’m just going to quit if they don’t do it....
