Chainsaw Man Episode 6 Is A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Crunchyroll By Rafael Motamayor/Nov. 16, 2022 6:56 am EST “Chainsaw Man” has stunning action sequences with creative visuals — including a hallway fight that gives “Inception” a run for its money — but it is a rare action anime that places a big focus on character animation. More than the fights, the quieter moments where characters just sit around and contemplate absurd existential horrors really showcases the great work Studio MAPPA is doing with this adaptation....

‘Both injurious and untrue’ Netflix “The Crown” has bent the truth more than a few times throughout the course of its run. But as season 5 rapidly approaches, the friction between the Netflix series and the people depicted in it has intensified, with Sir John Major penning a letter to let the world know how he feels via The Telegraph: “Netflix may well take the view that any publicity is good publicity....

Here’s The Secret Behind Providing The Voice Of A Star Wars Tusken Raider [Exclusive] Lucasfilm By Ryan Scott/Sept. 13, 2022 12:35 pm EST Tusken Raiders have been a fixture of the “Star Wars” universe from the very beginning, as the desert dwellers appear in the opening act of the original 1977 film. Given that we’ve spent a lot more time on Tatooine as of late — thanks to shows like “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett” — that also means we’ve spent more time getting to know the Tuskens....

House Of The Dragon Won’t Depict Sexual Violence, Only ‘One Instance Off-Screen’ HBO By Shania Russell/Aug. 3, 2022 1:23 pm EST The somewhat tarnished legacy of “Game of Thrones” is often credited to the show’s controversial ending. In the years since the HBO hit aired its 2019 finale, there’s been no shortage of outrage and criticism to prove just how much opinions of the long-time cultural phenomenon have soured. But while there’s no denying the way that the ending hangs over the series, I’d point to another culprit that plagued the show through its entire eight-season run: the over-reliance on sexual violence and the casual degradation of women....

The movie has not even been in theaters for a full 24 hours yet, but its Thursday preview numbers are already boding well for the Universal project. According to Variety, the movie grossed $6....

From comedy to drama Miramax To prepare, Nanjiani watched a bunch of classic Hollywood movies to tap into Banerjee’s “idolization of America and the West.” But it seems one of his biggest influences in taking on the role was his personal hero, Robin Williams. The actor best known for portraying gentle-hearted, frenetic funnymen on screen also had a whole list of darker roles under his belt, including what he termed his “Triptych Of Evil....

Kamala embraces her authentic self Disney+ Kamala (Iman Vellani) has always been true to her passions: she’s an avid Marvel fan (just like Vellani in real-life), a talented sketch artist, and an extremely warm individual. However, the tussle arises when Kamala is presented with the very real possibility of having superpowers, and assuming the responsibilities (and risks) that come with it, all while navigating the concerns of her family, especially her mother Muneeba (Zenobia Shroff)....

Not Just Any Old Extras Would Work For 28 Days Later’s Zombie Horde By Debopriyaa Dutta/Dec. 9, 2022 1:24 pm EST In Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later,” Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up in a hospital that seems to have been hastily abandoned. Staggering outside, he walks alone on a deserted London street and quickly realizes that there isn’t a single soul to be seen on Westminster Bridge. Jim is undoubtedly wondering what happened to the world, and the answer is that a contagious, aggression-inducing virus has led to the complete disintegration of human society worldwide and turned most people into ravenous zombies....

Preparing For Her Love & Basketball Performance Took A Toll On Sanaa Lathan Before She Even Got The Part New Line Cinema By J. Gabriel Ware/Sept. 10, 2022 8:00 pm EST Sanaa Lathan’s breakout performance came when she starred opposite Omar Epps in the 2000 romantic sports drama “Love & Basketball.” Her character, Monica Wright, desires to become the first woman to play in the NBA, but her love for basketball is challenged by her relationship with Quincy McCall (Epps), who is the bigger hoops phenom of the two and at one point expects Monica to prioritize him and their relationship over her commitment to the game....

The Lodge Neon Familial separation is already incredibly tough, but when a tragic event occurs in response to it, finding a way to move forward can seem impossible. The snowy, spine-chilling film “The Lodge” from 2019 opens on a jarring moment, with matriarch Laura Hall (Alicia Silverstone) dying by suicide after learning her estranged husband Richard (Richard Armitage) is planning on marrying a much younger woman named Grace (Riley Keough), the lone survivor of an evangelical extremist cult he met while researching her family....

Scream TV Spot I’m already in the tank for “Scream,” AKA “Scream 5,” the latest entry in the self-aware slasher franchise. While I will miss Wes Craven at the helm, this new title is being directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, the team behind the excellent “Ready or Not.” That’s enough to get me excited, but I’ve noticed some folks taking issue with how the new movie is being marketed....

Watch the new She-Hulk trailer The most effective MCU projects are the ones that feel like the result of a team of artists trying to put a unique and imaginative spin on the franchise, be it the neo-realist touches in “Eternals,” the action-horror vibes of “Moon Knight,” or the Generation Z stylings of “Ms. Marvel.” In the case of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” Tatiana Maslany described the MCU series to Empire Magazine as a “really absurd take on a legal show....

The Infernal Machine clip Taken out of context, this clip from “The Infernal Machine” almost plays like the part in the movie where the writer realizes he’s a fictional character in his own book. The way it’s edited brings to mind the audio montage at the end of “The Usual Suspects” where the cop thinks back on the whole movie and has an epiphany about the true identity of the villainous Keyser Soze....

‘Fleeting visions of conflict and harmony’ Prime Video Vitagliano linked to Plains to Yonder, the film studio and creative consultancy that put together the opening titles for “The Rings of Power.” The studio’s website confirms that, “taking inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Ainur, immortal angelic beings that sing such beautiful music that the world is created from their very sound, we conceived of a main title sequence ‘built from the world of sound....

Why Hugh Jackman Felt An ‘Urgency’ To Play His Role In The Son Sony Pictures Classics By Lex Briscuso/Nov. 9, 2022 11:45 am EST It’s always a pleasure to see Hugh Jackman perform. He’s a talented actor, a fine singer, and a generally delightful person to watch transform into someone else. However, his upcoming film “The Son,” written and directed by Florian Zeller, sees him playing someone similar to himself: a father doing what he can for his family....

Why Quentin Tarantino Decided To Center The Hateful Eight Around Jennifer Jason Leigh The Weinstein Company By Lex Briscuso/Dec. 22, 2022 7:44 am EST Casting is a subtle art, and though casting directors are the backbone of the industry in a lot of ways, directors are more deeply involved in the process than even most people realize. So much of making Quentin Tarantino’s stories work hinges on casting, and for his ninth film, “The Hateful Eight,” it was a crucial element....

Will There Be A Tell Me Lies Season 2? Hulu By Shania Russell/Nov. 29, 2022 1:58 pm EST Some onscreen romances are aspirational, while others feel true to life. Some leave us swooning … and others leave us concerned. And then there are those that land somewhere in the middle: frighteningly toxic, not too far off from reality, and hard to look away from. That’s where “Tell Me Lies” comes in: an addictive Hulu drama about a dark, long-term relationship....
