Barbarian Is The Closet Thing 2022 Has To Its Own Malignant

Barbarian Is The Closet Thing 2022 Has To Its Own Malignant 20th Century Studios By Sandy Schaefer/Sept. 13, 2022 9:00 am EST This article contains spoilers for “Malignant” and “Barbarian.” I went into “Barbarian” knowing nothing about the film beyond its logline and main cast. Dear reader, believe me when I tell you it was the best way possible to enjoy writer and director Zach Cregger’s horror movie, a subversive take on the genre where the red herrings and misdirection are virtually indistinguishable from the actual foreshadowing....

Blue Screen Made For Some Awkward Moments Behind The Scenes Of Spaceballs MGM / UA By Witney Seibold/Oct. 22, 2022 8:00 pm EST In a 1987 behind-the-scenes video, “Spaceballs” writer and director Mel Brooks referred to his comedy as an “appreciation of the human event.” In that same interview, however, he admits that his humor can also skew toward the disgusting. After all, this was the man who filmed what might be the longest scene of human flatulence in film history....

Daniel Craig Asked The James Bond Producers To Kill 007 After Casino Royale Was A Hit

Leaving James behind Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Daniel Craig did, in fact, get his wish four movies later, when “No Time to Die” definitively killed off Bond for the first time ever. Although this is certainly not the end of the franchise, it is the last time Craig will ever be involved in it. Since then, Craig has quickly gone on to enjoy a successful post-Bond career. It helps that in 2019, before officially leaving the role, he played southern detective Benoit Blanc in the surprise hit “Knives Out....

Not only was it a film based on a theme park ride, pirate movies were deader than Captain Kidd since the mega-flops of Roman Polanski’s “Pirates” and Renny Harlin’s “Cutthroat Island” seemingly scuppered the genre forever....

Terry Gilliam Credits Brazil For Pulling Him Out From Monty Python S Shadow

Terry Gilliam Credits Brazil For Pulling Him Out From Monty Python’s Shadow Five Oxbridge “superior beings” and one American “barbarian at the gates,” to use Terry Gilliam’s own words; that was the lineup for “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” the comedy troupe that took irreverent aim at the social and class boundaries of stuffy British society and, in their anarchic way, the very format of comedy itself. For his part, Gilliam was the often-overlooked member of the gang, not only an outsider by nationality and class but also due to his role within the Pythons....

The Entire Hellraiser Timeline Explained

The Entire Hellraiser Timeline Explained New World Pictures By Scott Thomas/Oct. 6, 2022 7:45 pm EST “We have such sights to show you.” For anyone who’s seen the “Hellraiser” films, these six words are shiver-inducing. That’s appropriate given the franchise’s themes. Since 1987, Clive Barker and creatives inspired by him have explored the alluring and terrifying line between pain and pleasure, then what happens when it disappears. Because “Hellraiser” is a horror franchise, that line vanishes for and through the Cenobites, a race of extra-dimensional sadomasochists whose leader is a once British Army World War I commander now named, for obvious reasons pictured above, Pinhead (the legendary Doug Bradley)....

The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Seems To Add Gobots To Marvel Canon

Gobots, the original Transformers LBS Communications/Worldvision Enterprises GoBots are the star of yet another cautionary tale that proves how marketing matters far more than being the first in the market. In everything but name, GoBots and Transformers are functionally identical. Like Transformers, GoBots are space robots that transform into vehicles. Like Transformers, the robots are divided into two groups — the Guardians (hey, they used the word!) and the Renegades. Like Transformers, GoBots worked in tandem with a small force of human allies....
