However, it turns out that they weren’t needed all that often. According to Knoxville, the stunt performer would prepare for the stunt itself before he took their place. “Sometimes they’re like, ‘Oh, we just need to line up the shot for lighting before you do it,’” he explained....

Peacock Vs Shudder: Where Can You Stream The Best Horror Movies These Days? SyFy By Erin Brady/Nov. 3, 2022 5:00 pm EST I will be the first to admit that streaming debates are not my thing. The vast amount of streaming services that are out there right now makes it extremely hard to navigate the media landscape, and the market seems to be inching closer to reinventing cable. All I want to do is watch my silly little programs — I don’t want to spend minutes combing through different libraries and searching “[INSERT MOVIE HERE] streaming” on Google to do so!...

Why its essential viewing Adult Swim The thing that makes “YOLO” so exciting is the way it portrays female friendships. It’s not as though we don’t already have a treasure trove of media related to how women connect platonically, but “YOLO” expounds upon that inquiry for a new generation. It highlights the sometimes transactional and selfish nature of these kinds of bonds but is equally as strong in the way it reminds us how crucial they are in a life well and happily lived....

From choosing the juiciest plotlines to constantly recasting amid time jumps, there’s plenty of work to be done. But surprisingly, the most difficult costume to create wasn’t some elaborate ballgown or detailed outfit....

Tobe Hooper Made The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Because Horror Movies Were ‘Boring’ Bryanston Distributing Company By Miyako Pleines/Oct. 19, 2022 4:21 pm EST The thing about being a fan of horror movies is that the more of them you see the less scary they become. The mind starts to desensitize itself to the jump scares and the gore so that what might be downright terrifying to the uninitiated ends up being only mildly frightening to a super fan....

Two Demands Had To Be Met To Get Cary Grant In The Philadelphia Story MGM By Matt Rainis/Sept. 16, 2022 2:45 pm EST In Hollywood, movie stars can often bend reality to their will.

Good, for goodness sake Universal Pictures The best way to describe this movie is that it’s “Elf” meets “John Wick,” with a small dash of “Bad Santa.” Part of what makes that formula work is David Harbour. The “Hellboy” and “Stranger Things” star is picture-perfect as Santa. His Saint Nick is jaded and worn down, but still very sweet and dedicated to those that still believe. He plays this all extremely earnestly, so it’s easy to believe that he’s the real deal....

Writing Raiders Of The Lost Ark Was A Slapdash Process From Start To Finish Lucasfilm By Andrew Housman/Sept. 29, 2022 1:51 pm EST “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is one of those timeless adventure films that, since its release in 1981, has served as a model for how to structure a Hollywood blockbuster.

Zack Snyder To Guest Star On Teen Titans Go! As Himself Warner Bros. Pictures By Devin Meenan/July 23, 2022 2:03 pm EST “Teen Titans Go!” began as a comedic spin-off of Cartoon Network’s “Teen Titans,” a more straightforward superhero action cartoon. However, “GO!” has outlasted its predecessor, having premiered in 2013 and continuing to produce new episodes. The upcoming 365th episode, aptly titled “365!”, is set to premiere in fall 2022 and it will feature a very special guest: Zack Snyder, director of “Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman,” and “Justice League....
