The 100 The CW When “The 100” debuted on the CW back in 2014, it was written off as yet another YA series. The adaptation of Kass Morgan’s dystopian book series quickly proved naysayers wrong, though, and captivated audiences with its mix of smart storylines and flawed characters. “The 100” follows a group of teens who are branded criminals by the adult lawmakers on the space station where the last vestiges of humanity live....
The 15 Best Adult Animated Shows On Netflix Netflix By Eric Pierce/July 25, 2022 6:21 pm EST Even with the influx of all the new streaming services — a quick Google search says there are currently 24, which feels like it’s about 20 too many — Netflix remains the most popular, and it’s not all that close. But while many of us merrily binge Netflix’s incredible original programming, its animated shows are often overlooked by adult viewers....
The Best TV Shows And Movies Leaving HBO Max In August 2022 Warner Bros. By BJ Colangelo/July 21, 2022 4:54 pm EST The streaming schedule lord giveth, and the streaming schedule lord taketh away. August is just around the corner which means the lineup of options on HBO Max will see a shakeup, before ushering in a new collection of goodies to enjoy. The August monthly purge is especially odd, because films that seem like they’d live on HBO Max forever (like the “Harry Potter” series), are going the way of the dodo....
The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes Character Breakdown: What You Need To Know About The New Cast Lionsgate/Vanity Fair By Debopriyaa Dutta/Aug. 16, 2022 1:10 pm EST The success of “The Hunger Games” quadrilogy cannot be overstated. Based on Suzanne Collins’ YA novel series, the adaptations painted Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) as the perfect Mockingjay — the face (and heart) of the rebellion. In 2020, Collins released a prequel novel to the series titled “The Ballads of Songbirds and Snakes,” which is set 64 years before the events of “The Hunger Games....
The Mist’s Wildest Sequence Required Chaos On The Set [Exclusive] Dimension Films By Valerie Ettenhofer/Nov. 22, 2022 10:00 am EST “The Mist” turns 15 this week, and Frank Darabont’s cinematic take on Stephen King’s novella has developed quite the legacy since it first debuted to mixed reception. In retrospect, the film has a whole lot going for it, from a prescient subplot about the dangers of religious zealotry to a pitch-black ending, the depressing likes of which few other horror films have ever tried to achieve....
The Realism Of Roma’s Sets Became An Obsession For Alfonso Cuarón Netflix By Witney Seibold/Aug. 5, 2022 6:27 pm EST Alfonso Cuarón’s 2018 film “Roma” serves two functions. Primarily, it is a nostalgia piece for the director, who set the film in Mexico City in 1971, the time and place of his own childhood. Secondarily, it was a style piece for Cuarón, who modeled a great deal of his film’s tone and visuals to the works of Federico Fellini (to whose works some critics compared “Roma”)....
The Two Akira Kurosawa Films That Inspired Ghost Of Tsushima Toho By Debopriyaa Dutta/Oct. 2, 2022 11:00 pm EST Folks who’ve played the samurai action-adventure game “Ghost of Tsushima” will be aware that the video game is a love letter to legendary filmmaker, Akira Kurosawa. Apart from the samurai-centric storyline and in-game aesthetics, there’s also an exclusive Kurosawa Mode that allows players to duel or sneak up on characters while a black and white cinematic filter adorns the game....
This Was The Better Call Saul Episode Bob Odenkirk Was Shooting When He Had His Heart Attack AMC By Erin Brady/July 20, 2022 2:14 pm EST I remember exactly where I was when I first heard that Bob Odenkirk had suffered a heart attack while filming the last season of “Better Call Saul,” and I presume that other people feel the same way. It was one of those rare moments where seemingly everyone on the internet banded together and hoped for the best....
Could Adar indeed be Sauron himself? New Line Cinema Although I’m not completely sold on the “Sauron is Adar” theory, let’s look at the possibilities. As Sauron was the most subversive of the Maia and is known to have shapeshifted into friendlier forms to beguile Middle-earth, it is possible that he is Adar, a form he takes before appearing as Annatar before the elves. Let’s look closely at the comment that Sauron took many names — this is true, as “Sauron” was the name assumed post-corruption, as gleaned from Tolkien’s notes in “Morgoth’s Ring....
‘It’s kind of cool … being revealed as the king’ Marvel Studios In an interview with Esquire, Duke discussed the possibility of “Black Panther 3” and what it might mean for M’Baku, saying: “I myself, as a fan, would love to see how everything plays out … It’s kind of cool, though, being revealed as the King of Wakanda at the end of the movie … That’s huge. So whatever that entails, that’s gonna be a fun one....
What we think Ancient Aliens will be about The History Channel There isn’t a whole lot of information available about the project, which was announced back in 2021. THR, which reported a change in writers on July 7, 2022, says this will be, “a two-handed, globe-spanning adventure featuring ancient sites and artifacts and will involve the theories and questions raised by the docuseries.” That doesn’t give us a whole lot to go on....
Daniel Craig Explains The Two Reasons Why His James Bond Had To Die United Artists Releasing/MGM By Sarah Musnicky/Nov. 20, 2022 3:36 pm EST After a long-delayed release, we said goodbye last year to Daniel Craig’s James Bond in “No Time to Die,” and we still haven’t recovered. After spending nearly 18 years playing the iconic character, Craig transitioned out of the role and he’s shown no signs of slowing down just yet....
Director Mark Mylod Hopes The Menu’s Satire ‘Speaks For Itself’ Searchlight Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 11, 2022 8:16 am EST Mark Mylod has one of the most interesting filmographies of any director working today. The man who helmed “Ali G Indahouse” as his debut feature has gone on to direct episodes of hit TV shows like “Entourage,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Succession.” It’s his latest film, however, that has all of us thirsting for more....
Entergalactic Review: A Beautiful, Musical, Overly Familiar Love Story Netflix By Barry Levitt/Sept. 29, 2022 3:01 am EST Things are going pretty great for Jabari (Scott Mescudi, better known as Kid Cudi). He’s recently moved into a huge apartment in Manhattan — the kind of place he would have dreamed up as wildly unrealistic as a kid. He’s a gifted artist, and his graffiti creation of Mr. Rager has taken the city by storm, so much so that a comic book company has brought Jabari on board to turn his creation into their next big event....
1984 (Season 9) FX The show’s ninth season, “AHS: 1984,” took the series’ campiness quite literally, with a summer camp setting and an homage to classic American slasher films of the ’80s, such as “Friday the 13th.” Emma Roberts stars as Brooke Thompson, who, after being attacked by the serial killer known as the Night Stalker (Zach Villa), decides to become a camp counselor along with her friends under the guidance of Camp Boss Margaret Booth (Leslie Grossman)....
Gene Wilder Saw Tim Burton’s Charlie And The Chocolate Factory As More Of An ‘Insult’ Than An Homage Warner Bros. Pictures By Shae Sennett/Nov. 15, 2022 12:58 pm EST Roald Dahl’s beloved novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” has been re-imagined countless times over the years. The first film adaptation, titled “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” was released in 1971 and starred Gene Wilder as the eponymous chocolatier. Decades later, director Tim Burton put his own spin on the children’s tale with “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” starring Burton’s long-time friend and collaborator Johnny Depp....
That’s not necessarily a bad thing CW Would I watch a terror-tinged television show on Peacock called “Haddonfield” about a town living in the shadow of Michael Myers? OF COURSE I WOULD! A more sinister, menacing version of “Riverdale” set in October that combined John Carpenter’s trademark sense of atmosphere could be something truly special. “Riverdale” has actually already been inspired by Jamie Lee Curtis’ celebrated return to the franchise. Back in 2019 during season 4 with the episode “Chapter Sixty-One: Halloween,” a Myers-esque killer called the Family Man goes on a brutal murder spree....

I Know What You Did Last Summer Needed A Killer Who Wouldn’t Stay In Character Columbia Pictures By Christian Gainey/Oct. 25, 2022 5:50 pm EST Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Two teenagers are making out in a car when the radio announces a killer with a hook hand has escaped from a nearby asylum.

An older demographic NBC The introduction of the older generation of the Costanza family not only opened up new comedic avenues for the show, but demographic ones as well, according to Littlefield in the Vulture piece. “Now you’re into a much larger playing field for audiences. Yes, we were an addiction for adults ages 18 to 49, but we were [now] going younger and far older. We were inviting everyone into the tent....
