David Duchovny Thinks This X-Files Character Needs Their Own Spin Off 20th Television By Witney Seibold/Aug. 15, 2022 5:26 pm EST Given the numerous, complicated mythology arcs introduced throughout its initial nine-season run, it’s surprising that more shows didn’t spin off of Chris Carter’s 1993 hit show “The X-Files.” For the uninitiated, “The X-Files” was about a pair of FBI agents named Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) who were assigned to the Bureau’s most unusual cases, often filed under the letter X....

His Dark Materials’ Dafne Keen And Amir Wilson On Episode 4’s Heartbreaking Moment [Exclusive Interview] HBO By Jamie Gerber/Dec. 13, 2022 2:44 pm EST This post contains spoilers for “His Dark Materials” season 3. “His Dark Materials” hasn’t wasted any time getting to the meat of the last book in Philip Pullman’s trilogy, “The Amber Spyglass.” The plot has only thickened in episodes 3 and 4 of the show’s third and final season, with Will (Amir Wilson) and Lyra (Dafne Keen) entering the Land of the Dead to rescue her friend Roger....
Cocaine Bear Universal Pictures/YouTube With films like “Snakes on a Plane” and “Sharknado,” it’s not a stretch that moviegoers are now getting a “Cocaine Bear.” The title itself harkens back to such sleazy ’80s flicks as “Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama” and “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” And the trailer does not disappoint. A shipment of cocaine gets airdropped from an airplane, a bear eats it, and it goes on a drug-induced murder spree....
Jamie Foxx Wouldn’t Do Day Shift Without Dave Franco Netflix By Jenna Busch/Aug. 23, 2022 5:02 pm EST In the Netflix film “Day Shift,” Jamie Foxx plays Bud, a pool cleaner by day, vampire hunter by night, selling fangs at a pawn shop to make extra cash. As it turns out though, fangs aren’t worth very much. This prompts Bud to rejoin the vampire hunters union, overseen by a cowardly supervisor named Seth, played by Dave Franco....
Questions and cameras Universal Pictures The plot of “Nope” involves two siblings, OJ and Emerald Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer), having close encounters of the third kind on their Hollywood horse ranch. Michael Wincott plays the impressively named Antlers Holst, a cinematographer who gets caught up in the action with them and utilizes IMAX cameras of his own at one point. This speaks to what Peele said about using such cameras to film the movie, but also featuring them in the movie “in the meta way....
Junji Ito is a master of horror Simon & Schuster Junji Ito’s specific brand of horror elicits visceral responses, as his grotesque and stunning illustrations infiltrate the psyche and linger for as long as they damn well please, not unlike the work of Stephen Gammell’s illustrations in “Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark.” Ito’s visuals thrive somewhere between the land of nightmares and the uncanny valley, able to take the most unassuming scenario or item — like a balloon, perhaps — and twist it into something downright maniacal....
‘The search for truth’ Warner Bros. In “Amistad,” McConaughey plays a lawyer defending a group of Africans who revolted aboard a slave ship, only to find themselves accused of piracy. So it’s easy to see, from his perspective as an actor, how that role might have held a “philanthropic” angle. “Contact,” meanwhile, juxtaposes his character’s belief in God with Ellie Arroway’s belief in intelligent life beyond Earth, which one of her fellow scientists ridicules with the Spielberg movie reference, “Ellie!...
Avatar: The Last Airbender rounds out the cast Netflix There’s no question that Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender” will forever remain the gold standard … but it’s difficult to outright dismiss Netflix’s attempt at a retelling of this story, thanks to the sheer strength of its cast (not to mention the streamer’s huge ambitions for the franchise). In addition to the notable big names joining the cast, fans will undoubtedly be interested in knowing that several other major characters have found their actors, as well....

Tawny Newsome’s Love For Deep Space Nine Led To A Star Trek: Lower Decks Rewrite Paramount By Danielle Ryan/Sept. 23, 2022 5:50 pm EST “Star Trek: Lower Decks” has given its characters fun chances to interact with some of the cast members from other famous “Star Trek” crews, including Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Martina Sirtis). But season 3 will see the crew of the Cerritos headed to one of Starfleet’s most famous non-starships: the space station Deep Space Nine....
The 14 Best Angela Lansbury Movies, Ranked Disney By Dalin Rowell/Oct. 13, 2022 7:44 pm EST With her bright eyes and deep well of talent, Angela Lansbury means something different to everyone you meet.

The Best International Films Of 2022, Ranked IFC FIlms By Shae Sennett/Dec. 23, 2022 7:00 pm EST All the real cinephiles know that to find the best films in the world, one has to look beyond English-speaking cinema. “Parasite” brought some much-needed attention to non-English language cinema in America when it swept the Oscars in 2019, and the world has not stopped producing incredible films in the years since. Luckily for you, I watched dozens of the best films from around the world this year and picked out the cream of the crop so you didn’t have to....
Why it’s essential viewing Lucasfilm Though it features two Darth Vader scenes, “Rogue One” was the first “Star Wars” film (not counting old Ewok TV movies) to explore the potential for stories beyond the Skywalker saga. It begins without an opening crawl, something unheard of in the movie series up to that point. Michael Giacchino’s music offers a departure from the usual John Williams score, echoing it in places while also going new directions — with his first cue for Jedha giving the Imperial-occupied moon a distinct, buzzy signature....
The Simpsons Writers Have Never ‘Retconned’ Anything From The Series By Michael Boyle/Aug. 18, 2022 3:55 pm EST One of the benefits of writing an animated sitcom like “The Simpsons” is that the characters don’t age. And one of the downsides is … the characters don’t age. On one hand, the show hasn’t had to struggle through many major status quo changes, like the kids going to college or grandpa passing away....
Tom Cruise Did Six Takes Of Mission Impossible 7’s Motorcycle Jump, Because Of Course He Did Paramount Pictures By Shania Russell/Dec. 20, 2022 2:25 pm EST Tom Cruise is many things: one of the biggest movie stars of our time. A passionate hater of motion-smoothing. A high-profile Scientologist. But at this point, he’s best known as an action junkie who keeps finding new ways to defy death. Recently seen free-falling out of a plane while delivering some happy holiday wishes, Cruise is no stranger to entering the danger zone just for the sake of spectacle....

Why Ray Liotta Turned Down David Chase’s Offer For A Role In The Sopranos Warner Bros. By Devin Meenan/Oct. 16, 2022 6:00 pm EST “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.” A shot at the mob life was Henry Hill’s dream, but once was enough for Ray Liotta. Enough “Goodfellas” alums show up on “The Sopranos” that you can make a drinking game out of it....
