Alice In Wonderland’s White Queen Was A Nerve-Wracking Role For Anne Hathaway Walt Disney Studios By Marisa Mirabal/Sept. 24, 2022 9:00 pm EST Known for whimsically dark films like “Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands,” and “Sleepy Hollow,” director Tim Burton has solidified himself in Hollywood as an eccentric visionary. Marrying fantasy and horror, Burton tackles original screenplays and classic adaptations through a gothic lens and with a playful imagination. In 2010 when he directed “Alice in Wonderland” (a live-action reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s works), many were nervous about how Burton would tackle the classic piece of literature, myself included....

Black Adam v. Superman Warner Bros. /Film heard from executive producer Hiram Garcia that there was never any other possibility: the mid-credits sequence was always meant to be the much-anticipated meeting between these two heroes. After all, isn’t that what all of this was always about? Both Henry Cavill and Dwayne Johnson have been teasing this possibility for years — posing for photos together, dropping hints, and making big claims about who would win the Black Adam v....

Christmas Classic Miracle On 34th Street Was A Guiding Light For David Harbour In Violent Night [Exclusive] Universal Pictures By Jenna Busch/Nov. 28, 2022 1:00 pm EST The upcoming action comedy “Violent Night” starring David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) is just about to hit our stockings. This is no regular Christmas movie, in case you didn’t get that from the title. On Christmas Eve, a bunch of mercenaries break into the house of a wealthy family and take everyone hostage....

Every Main Character In Barry Ranked Worst To Best HBO By Liam Gaughan/Nov. 6, 2022 10:15 am EST “Barry” is one of the best shows on HBO right now. Although the series has competed at the Primetime Emmy Awards in the comedy categories, it’s hard to call “Barry” a “comedy” anymore. The dark character study of a truly demented man may have a few outrageously funny moments, but it’s also very bleak in its worldview....

How Gregory Peck Fought For Equal Billing For Audrey Hepburn Paramount By Mike Shutt/Aug. 11, 2022 4:45 pm EST The “Skip Intro” button is a plague. A film’s credits are something I value greatly, whether they are placed into the context of an elaborate title sequence or just superimposed over the movie. Hundreds of people worked incredibly hard to bring you the movie you are about to watch, and the least you could do is acknowledge their efforts....

How Mice Influenced The Score For The White Lotus Season 2 HBO By Matt Rainis/Nov. 7, 2022 2:15 pm EST There’s a lot to like about “The White Lotus,” between its sharp writing, superb casting, and incisive criticisms of the richest folks in our society. But one part of the show that’s been a standout since its premiere has been its score. Composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer’s score in the show’s first season was heavily percussive and intense, creating an atmosphere of tension highlighted by its Hawaiian tribal accents....

It Sure Looks Like Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Is Working On The Five Nights At Freddy’s Movie Steel Wool Studios By Erin Brady/Aug. 9, 2022 4:30 pm EST It looks like “Five Nights at Freddy’s” is about to become real after all. Since acquiring the film rights to the popular horror game franchise back in 2017, Blumhouse’s adaptation has had its fair share of roadblocks and delays. Despite these setbacks, such as the loss of director Chris Columbus, producer Jason Blum has long been promising fans that the film is very much still in development....

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Review: This Anime Franchise Prequel Is A Heartwarming Spectacle Crunchyroll By Debopriyaa Dutta/Sept. 21, 2022 10:00 am EST Everybody loves a compelling story about an underdog. The overwhelming success of the “Naruto” franchise over the years and the recent, record-breaking “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” is testimony to this sentiment. In a story about curses, jujutsu sorcerers, and friendship, “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” the prequel to the popular “Jujutsu Kaisen” anime series (both based on Gege Akutami’s manga series), recognizes the appeal of the underdog....

Marvel’s She-Hulk Shifts Which Day Of The Week It’ll Air, So Prepare Accordingly Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 3, 2022 2:25 pm EST Under Disney, Marvel superhero shows and “Star Wars” have both gone away from the usual Netflix model of debuting a show’s entire season all at once in one big, binge-watching haze. While that strategy tends to create scenarios where a hotly-anticipated series dominates the pop culture conversation throughout the “opening weekend” (looking at you, “Stranger Things”), the downside is usually that the property tends to fade away rather quickly in the subsequent days and weeks after release....

Marvel Teases “Phase 3” With New Video And Concept Art And Animatics The appeal of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been, ever since its earliest days, the promise of watching so many seemingly disparate characters fight and co-exist and come together to save the day in a shared world where the events of one adventure can have a profound effect on one another. And then they pulled if off and we got spoiled and the rest of Marvel Studios’ “Phase 3” has to find a way to get us excited all over again....

Shigaraki Is Getting Powerful Crunchyroll The last available season of “My Hero Academia” focused on the Endeavor Agency and Meta Liberation Army story arcs from the maga, which means it’s likely that season 6 will focus on the Paranormal Liberation War arc. In this arc, The League of Villains join forces with the Meta Liberation Army, a group of radicalized super powered individuals, to become the Paranormal Liberation Front. It’s like how rock bands in the 1980s made supergroups, but this time for scary anime fighting....

Paul Wesley’s Kirk In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Won’t Be Much Like William Shatner Paramount+ By Valerie Ettenhofer/Sept. 4, 2022 10:44 am EST In its first season, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” reinvigorated the modern Trek era in an unexpectedly playful way. The first ten episodes of the “Star Trek: The Original Series” prequel not only delivered a delightful, smart, and emotional assortment of one-offs, but it also introduced some great new takes on familiar characters....

Sergio Leone Saw Once Upon A Time In America As A Dying Breed Of Cinema Warner Bros By Jeremy Smith/Aug. 22, 2022 2:38 pm EST Sergio Leone’s filmmaking instincts were unerring. Once he got his feet under him with “A Fistful of Dollars,” he made masterfully composed widescreen Western epics that were dense with references to their genre predecessors. You don’t have to be a movie buff to fall in love with a Leone film, but your enjoyment is certainly enhanced, particularly on multiple viewings, when you realize how deftly he’s integrated the works of John Ford, Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann and so on into his mythic vision of the West....

The 12 Best Santa Clauses In Movies, Ranked Universal By Eric Langberg/Dec. 12, 2022 5:10 pm EST Santa Claus first appeared on film all the way back in 1898, when he starred in a short film by George Albert Smith called, appropriately, “Santa Claus.” In it, a silent Santa sneaks across a rooftop, climbs down a chimney, and leaves gifts for a little girl and boy who are nestled in their beds....

Get the latest season of your favorite TV shows and more HBO Max Straight Outta Comics Superheroes remain all the rage in popular media these days, as has been the case for more than two decades at this point. But so much focus is put on movies like “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” or “The Batman,” when hours upon hours of comic book-based TV is out there for the taking....

Grendel’s Mother 20th Century Studios The monster, called “The Mother” in the credits, is a powerful, terrifying figure that has clearly been living underground her entire life. The Detroit neighborhood where the central Airbnb is located has long since been abandoned by poverty, so she is known to occasionally trek outdoors at night. She is misshapen, the result of several generations of inbreeding, and she is obsessed with finding captives to serve as her “baby” that she can feed....

Thomas Ian Griffith On Cobra Kai Season 5, Dangerous Fights, And Karate Kid III [Interview] Netflix By Jenna Busch/Sept. 9, 2022 10:30 am EST Spoilers for “Cobra Kai” season 5. In the Netflix series “Cobra Kai,” Thomas Ian Griffith plays the villain Terry Silver, a role he originated in “The Karate Kid Part III.” That film is usually considered very low in the rankings of “Karate Kid” entries. While that may be true, Silver in his current form is a baddie we love to hate....

Till Trailer: Danielle Deadwyler And Whoopie Goldberg Fight For Justice In Emmett Till Story Orion Pictures By Ryan Scott/July 25, 2022 11:05 am EST MGM and Orion Pictures have released the first trailer for the upcoming historical drama “Till.” The title is in reference to Emmett Till, a tragic figure from a terrible time in American history when racial inequality was at a truly ugly point. Till was a victim of this senseless, racially-charged violence and, difficult though the subject matter may be, this is very much a story worth telling....
