Steer the ship the best way you know HBO In the latest edition of the Jade Giantess’ Disney+ series, we meet Donny Blaze. He’s a cut-rate Los Angeles magician that once studied the Mystic Arts in Kamar Taj, but was ejected after a week for summoning some kegs and his fraternity brothers to the sacred city that molded Doctor Strange, Baron Mordo, and the current Sorcerer Supreme, Wong. However, when he was dismissed, he took a Sling Ring with him and incorporated magic that he cannot control into his act....

Anyone well-versed in the topic of scary movie children is sure to know the title “Goodnight Mommy.” Just reading those words or hearing them spoken, especially if you’re not even a mom (or Mr....

An unforgettable rendition Touchstone Pictures In an interview with HuffPost for the film’s 20th anniversary, filmmaker Gil Junger, actress Julia Stiles and the rest of the “10 Things I Hate About You” crew reminisced over Ledger’s performance, and his singing and dancing on the school’s bleachers. The young actor was beyond graceful and performed with an ease that made his rendition of Franki Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes off You” stand the test of time over 20 years later....

Here’s When You Can Stream The Simpsons Season 33 On Disney+ By Matthew Bilodeau/Sept. 9, 2022 6:49 pm EST Yes, you’re reading that correctly. If you’ve been out of the loop, “The Simpsons,” the animated sitcom phenomenon that started way back in 1989, has now made it all the way to 33 seasons. People joke that no one has watched the series since its heyday, but the fact that it’s now coming up to its 34th season sends a pretty clear message that there are plenty of folks still keeping up with the goings-on in Springfield....

The origins of Step Right Up Hulu During an interview with Collider, Levitan explained that after deciding on the concept of “Reboot” and assembling an idea of the cast, he worked backward to figure out what kind of show they would need to be rebooting: “It’s funny, it was one of those little details where I didn’t really care what that show was, I just needed it to be a viable show....

I Saw The Devil Was A Challenge Kim Jee-Woon Couldn’t Resist Magnet Releasing By Erin Brady/Dec. 6, 2022 3:42 pm EST “I Saw The Devil” is one of those movies that changes you after you watch it. While it’s a stretch to say that it changes your life forever, it’s undeniable that Kim Jee-woon’s 2010 thriller shakes you up a bit. I know I certainly denied the help of strangers in public for a little while after I watched it for the first time....

It Was A Fight To Find The Right Soundtrack For Fast Times At Ridgemont High Universal By Jeremy Smith/Aug. 10, 2022 3:09 pm EST “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” was a watershed teen comedy for a myriad of reasons. Though it freely indulged in the kind of raunchiness its target audience had come to expect from this subgenre, director Amy Heckerling and screenwriter Cameron Crowe (who went undercover as a student for an entire year at Clairmont High School in Southern California to write the book on which the film is based) generally keep the film grounded in a painfully relatable world of teenage angst....

Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story Review: Riding The Line Between Celebration And Commercialization Sony Pictures Classics By Mike Shutt/Oct. 17, 2022 7:00 am EST We live in a seemingly never-ending age of music documentaries. In the last decade, everyone from Billie Eilish to Linda Ronstadt to A Band Called Death has had their story chronicled on film. This year alone has seen pictures about David Bowie, Jennifer Lopez, Kanye West, Sinéad O’Connor, Olivia Rodrigo, Dio, Sheryl Crow, XXXTentacion, Tanya Tucker, Nick Cave, and the New York City music scene of the early 2000s....

John C. McGinley Had A Close Call With A Platoon Helicopter Shot Gone Wrong Orion By Jeremy Smith/Aug. 24, 2022 5:42 pm EST There were Vietnam War films before “Platoon,” but none of them palpably captured the boots-on-the-ground horror of the conflict like Oliver Stone’s film did. Having served in the U.S. Army during the war, it was important to Stone to convey to audiences how confused and ultimately demoralized soldiers felt while risking their lives for a hazily stated objective....

Raimi’s childlike enthusiasm Pyewacket Pictures Long himself previously worked with Raimi on the similarly subversive “Drag Me To Hell” in 2009, where he evidently gained an appreciation for the legendary director’s keenness on-set. Speaking to GQ, the co-star of “Barbarian” “[Zach] is so passionate and specific. He reminded me a lot of Sam Raimi in that way. Sam’s got this childlike enthusiasm for what he’s doing, like he’s a kid playing in the sandbox....

Kelsey Grammer Explains What We Can Expect From The New Frasier Series NBC By Matt Rainis/Oct. 20, 2022 11:21 am EST When “Money Plane” came out in 2020, it was clear that all of our lives would never be the same. A cheesy heist film starring WWE superstar Edge and Kelsey Grammer with B-movie action and a C-movie script, “Money Plane” changed the way we all saw cinema. Unfortunately, Grammer clearly could have used a trip to a real life money plane, as he’s now set to star in Paramount+’s “Frasier” sequel series....

Not even supposed to be here today Miramax Films Before of his grand appearance at Hall H at this year’s SDCC (and in between all the other events on his packed con schedule), Kevin Smith spoke to Deadline about returning to the mecca of pop culture after a pandemic-related hiatus, his brand of filmmaking, and his latest cinematic trip back to the Quick Stop. In this conversation, he was asked whether he initially conceived his drug-dealing delinquents as breakout stars that could appear in multiple projects outside of “Clerks....

Like Magic Mike’s Last Dance, Every Single Movie Should End With A 30-Minute Dance Scene Warner Bros. Pictures By Erin Brady/Nov. 23, 2022 4:43 pm EST The expository dance scene has been all the rage this past year — at least, if you’ve been watching television. Thanks to the lighthearted opening sequences for shows like “Pachinko” and “Peacemaker,” this specific form of showing and not telling has come back in a big way....

Mary Harron Didn’t Know If American Psycho Would Work When She Started Writing The Script Lionsgate By Joe Roberts/Dec. 12, 2022 12:20 pm EST A lot of people were very upset when Brett Easton Ellis’ novel “American Psycho” hit shelves in 1990. The book’s hyper-violent scenes overshadowed much of its social satire, as concerned parties spoke out about the damaging effect the book was apparently bound to have on society. Tammy Bruce, then-President of the LA chapter of the National Organization for Women, went as far as calling it a “how-to novel on the torture and dismemberment of women....

Bodies exchanged (Curse of the Fly, 1965) 20th Century Fox/YouTube Released in 1965, “Curse of the Fly” attempts a very different kind of story than the series had done up to this point. Director Don Sharp tells the story of Martin Delambre (George Baker) who helps his father Henri (Brian Donlevy) with radical, unprecedented experiments into teleportation. They’ve seemingly mastered transporting human beings from Quebec all the way to London....

Pennyworth Season 3 Is A Super Dramatic Season For Batman’s Parents [NYCC] Colin Hutton/HBO Max By Caroline Cao/Oct. 7, 2022 8:56 am EST Did you know that Batman’s famous and devout Butler, Alfred Pennyworth, has his own spy show on HBO Max (after airing on Epix) from the creators of “Gotham”? And it’s on season 3? Maybe the recent extended retitling of “Pennyworth” to “Pennyworth: The Origins of Batman’s Butler” could alert you to that....

Zombie was given total creative freedom Anchor Bay Films During an interview with Complex, Rob Zombie was pretty candid with his feelings about the “Halloween” process. “This sounds terrible, but when I came off the ‘Halloween’ movies, they were very stressful movies to make,” he said. “I’m happy with how they turned out, but getting the end results took so much fighting with people and so much craziness, that at the end of it I was so burnt out....

Rocky V Almost Had A Different, More Tragic Ending United Artists By Christian Gainey/Oct. 9, 2022 10:30 pm EST In 1976, an unknown actor named Sylvester Stallone introduced the world to Rocky Balboa and his eternal struggle to prove himself. The story of a down-and-out underachiever going toe-to-toe with the world’s greatest boxer charmed audiences and propelled Stallone into a long career of portraying heroic, larger-than-life characters. Even after playing the lead character in classics like “First Blood” and “Demolition Man,” Sly’s most popular character will always be Balboa....

Sandman Characters You’d Never Want To Make A Deal With Netflix By Jenn Adams/Aug. 16, 2022 11:51 am EST Nearly three decades after its publication, the long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” is finally here. Premiering to mostly positive reviews, the world-bending saga of the King of Dreams is a dazzling and heartfelt journey through the centuries as Dream of the Endless (aka Morpheus, aka the Sandman) rules over all dreams and stories in the metaphysical realm known as the Dreaming....

Scott Glenn ‘Stole’ His Hunt For Red October Performance From The Genuine Article Paramount Pictures By Miyako Pleines/Nov. 17, 2022 9:56 am EST Director John McTiernan’s 1990 thriller “The Hunt for Red October,” which tells the story of a Soviet submarine captain gone rogue, gets much of its panache from its strong character development and commitment to prioritizing the story over the action. Marko Ramius (Sean Connery), the commanding officer of the Red October, is of course one of the most complex men in the entire film (I mean, the whole movie is basically about trying to figure out just what his end game actually is), and CIA analyst, Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) gets points for his ready-for-anything attitude and plucky demeanor....
