Here’s Where You Can Watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Warner Bros. By Joe Roberts/Nov. 23, 2022 12:49 pm EST The festive season is almost upon us once again. And as we all prepare to partake in that special holiday tradition of pretending the world isn’t imploding by zoning out to our favorite yuletide movies, the streaming services are gearing up to help us in our annual quest. This year, Santa will no doubt have to bring many of us subscriptions to one of the 700,000 streaming services to which we’re not yet subscribed, just so we can enjoy our holiday favorites without handing over $20 for the privilege of purchasing a digital copy of each....

How A Character In Disney’s Strange World Recalls The Late, Great Firefly Universal Pictures By Ben F. Silverio/Nov. 28, 2022 7:16 am EST “Resident Alien” star Alan Tudyk has had a number of memorable roles throughout his career. In terms of movies, long-time fans look back fondly on the parts he played in “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “A Knight’s Tale,” and “Tucker & Dale vs Evil.” He even had that memorable guest spot on an episode of “Frasier” as the new owner of KACL that Dr....

A style-less fighting style Marvel Studios Alright, so what about the Man in Black? What about crafting fights for a superhero who is virtually indestructible and is played by the biggest action star in the world? That is an entirely different set of circumstances: “Somebody like Black Adam or even Captain America, they’re virtually indestructible, so they’re a lot more aggressive, they’re a lot more forward in their fighting. Obviously, more so Black Adam, because he kind of plays that thin line between good guy and anti-hero....

How Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny And Logan Will Be Both Similar And Different, According To James Mangold Lucasfilm By Andrew Housman/Dec. 19, 2022 3:12 pm EST More than forty years after “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was released in 1981, the “Indiana Jones” franchise is making a return to craft an end to Harrison Ford’s legacy as the title hero. Though “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” may be a coda to Indy’s adventures, the film presents a list of firsts for the series....

How Michelle Yeoh Trained For The Most Infamous Action Scene In Everything Everywhere All At Once A24 By Steven Ward/July 14, 2022 2:41 pm EST One of the reasons “Everything Everywhere All At Once” managed to separate itself from the scores of other multiversal tales in recent years was its fearlessness in being exceptionally weird. The strangeness of infinite possibilities is interwoven into the film’s very narrative, such as the bizarrely specific actions that are required in order to tap into another universe, which can include eating chapstick and self-inflicting paper cuts in between fingers....

How Mike Judge Brought Beavis And Butt-Head Into The Modern Era Paramount By Witney Seibold/July 18, 2022 7:51 pm EST Enough time has passed since the invention of Beavis and Butt-Head that describing them requires more than a little context. The characters, created by Mike Judge in 1992, made their debut in a series of sick and twisted animated shorts wherein the two teenage wastoids would explode firecrackers, abuse frogs, fart, and chuckle incessantly at anything that had even the most distant whiff of sexual innuendo....

‘I could think one thing, and then Taylor’s going to write something else the next day’ Paramount+ World War I has come and gone since we last saw John Dutton as a child. His younger brother, Spencer (Brandon Sklenar), fought in the war, and is currently out of the country, trying to deal with his PTSD (not that they called it that back then). I asked Dale if John had fought as well, and though he couldn’t tell me many details, he did speak about creating a character backstory with someone like series and franchise creator Taylor Sheridan, who doesn’t often let actors know all the details: “What you’re dealing with is a 40-year gap here between ‘1883’ and ‘1923....

Joker: Folie A Deux release date and where you can watch it Warner Bros. “Joker: Folie A Deux” will be hitting theaters on October 4, 2024. According to Deadline, the studio had reserved the day for an unannounced DC event film, which we now know was held specifically for “Joker: Folie A Deux.” What will Joker: Folie A Deux be about? Warner Bros. Based on the rumors we’ve been following for months, “Joker: Folie A Deux” is allegedly going to be a musical....

Loki And Doctor Strange 2 Writer Michael Waldron To Pen Marvel’s Avengers: Secret Wars Marvel Studios By Erin Brady/Oct. 3, 2022 12:53 pm EST We are getting ever so closer to seeing the famous “Secret Wars” storyline play out on the big screen. That’s because Marvel Studios has officially tapped Michael Waldron to write the screenplay for the upcoming film “Avengers: Secret Wars,” according to Deadline. This hire comes after Waldron helped bring “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and the first season of “Loki” into Phase Four of the mega-franchise....

Louise Fletcher, Oscar-Winning One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Actor, Has Died United Artists By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 24, 2022 1:36 am EST Louise Fletcher, best known for her Academy Award-winning role as Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” has died at the age of 88.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Star Jason David Frank Has Died At Age 49 Saban By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 20, 2022 12:08 pm EST Not long after “Batman: The Animated Series” star Kevin Conroy passed away, another icon of the ’90s has left us far too soon. Jason David Frank, the actor and martial artist best known for playing Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger and White Ranger in the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” franchise, has passed away....

Mykelti Williamson’s Heat Casting Came Out Of An Oscar Snub Warner Bros. By J. Gabriel Ware/July 11, 2022 1:49 pm EST When the crime drama “Heat” hit theaters in June of 1995, it was a big deal. Even though Al Pacino and Robert De Niro both starred in the 1974 classic “The Godfather: Part II,” their characters’ stories take place in two separate time periods — and because neither character drives a DeLorean with a flux capacitor, the film ends without the two actors sharing any screen time together....

Mykelti Williamson Was A Snake Magnet On The Set Of Forrest Gump Paramount Pictures By J. Gabriel Ware/Aug. 7, 2022 11:54 am EST “Forrest Gump” is one the most rewatchable movies to me because of its compelling cast of supporting characters. Yes, Tom Hanks earned his flowers for his portrayal of the slow-witted titular character who unknowingly influences historical U.S. events during the 20th century, but some nights I pop on the 1994 classic and find myself gravitating toward Forrest’s elusive love interest, Jenny (played by Hanna R....

Sci-Fi Movies That Made The Cast Do Gross Things Warner Bros. By Liam Gaughan/Aug. 29, 2022 12:50 pm EST There are a lot of gross moments in classic science fiction films. The most vivid sci-fi movies can transport the audience to a place that they’ve never been before. We feel all the emotions that the characters are experiencing. If a sci-fi movie makes us feel uncomfortable during a climactic scene, that’s a good thing!...

Tales From The Box Office: 8 Mile Gave Eminem The #1 Album, Song, And Movie, All At Once Universal Pictures By Ryan Scott/Nov. 5, 2022 1:00 pm EST (Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.) Anyone who grew up in the late ’90s and/or early 2000s can probably tell you what it was like when Eminem, the rapper behind hits such as “My Name Is” and “Stan,” had his meteoric rise to fame....

The Animators Behind The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Knew They Were Making Magic [Exclusive Interview] Marvel Studios By Danielle Ryan/Dec. 9, 2022 4:00 pm EST “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” is a lovely little bit of holiday cheer, following Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista) as they try to find and retrieve the perfect Christmas present for their friend Peter Quill (Chris Pratt). The light-hearted, fluffy special comes from the mind of James Gunn, who also wrote and directed the “Guardians” films, and it serves as a nice epilogue to Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Primal Adult Swim/YouTube While floating on an endless sea, the caveman Spear (Aaron LaPlante) surveys the water, looking for food or signs of a possible threat. Like the anticipatory rise of a curtain, the massive sun peers over the horizon. Later, a storm rises, and a fanged Megalodon springs from the rising waves. As the tranquil shots of nature dissolve into a maelstrom, season 2 of Genndy Tartakovsky’s magnum opus starts with a bang, and it never lets up....

The Best Documentaries Of 2022, Ranked Disney+/Neon By Sarah Milner/Dec. 22, 2022 1:00 pm EST The documentaries released in 2022 are a versatile mix. Sure, the year saw the expected Netflix true-crime series (including the return of the hit “Unsolved Mysteries” reboot) and celebrations of trailblazers (“Say Hey, Willie Mays!”), but we also got the light-hearted, high-spirited stories of unbelievable fraudsters (“The Tinder Swindler”), deeply disturbing stories of human evil (“Our Father”), and scandalous stories of corporate evil (“White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch”)....

What happens in Catch Me If You Can? DreamWorks Pictures In “Catch Me If You Can,” a post-“Titanic” Leonardo DiCaprio is young and as charming as ever, holding his own against greats like Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken. Starring as Frank Abagnale Jr., he puts that roguish charm to very good; over the course of the film, he cons millions of dollars while posing as a pilot for Pan American Airways....
