Ted Lasso’s Authentic Sound Effect You Probably Never Noticed Warner Bros. Television/AppleTV+ By Matthew Bilodeau/Aug. 17, 2022 12:53 pm EST It still surprises me to no end how much “Ted Lasso” has become one of the most authentic shows on television. This endlessly charming ensemble, with Jason Sudeikis as its effervescent ringleader, has worked its way into my heart. The titular football coach is a man who knows what he does and doesn’t like, but is always open to gaining a greater understanding of his new environment, except for tea....

Location, location, location Lionsgate John Wick is going international. While the impossibly skilled gunman has largely torn up the streets of New York City — rampaging through various buildings and careening across town on horseback — “John Wick 4” will see our favorite remorseful killer take his talents overseas. In-between their hilarious banter while on stage at the panel, Chad Stahelski and the always-effervescent Keanu Reeves took a moment to answer a question by moderator Steven Weintraub about the various locales we’ll get to see in the upcoming fourth chapter....

The Shrink Next Door Ending Explained: Hitting Reset On Life, Or What’s Left Of It Apple TV+ By Marcos Melendez/Aug. 17, 2022 9:13 am EST A true story that’s incredibly interesting on its own can still be elevated to new emotional heights with a compelling screen adaptation. This is true of “The Shrink Next Door,” the Apple TV+ limited series that covers a lengthy real-life tale in a satisfying fashion. Based on a true-crime podcast of the same name, “The Shrink Next Door” follows Marty Markowitz (Will Ferrell), a timid man who is struggling to cope with the loss of his parents and his newfound responsibility for their successful fabrics company....

Jack N. Green Warner Bros. The cinematographer on “Unforgiven” was Jack N. Green who had previously worked with Eastwood on “Heartbreak Ridge,” “Bird,” “White Hunter, Black Heart,” and “The Rookie.” Eastwood, being such a prolific filmmaker, has worked with multiple talented cinematographers in his directorial career, and a look over his filmography as a whole reveals a gradual visual shift. Eastwood’s earlier movies tend to be more sharply photographed, with clear, bold earth tones....

What These Iconic Movie Aliens Look Like Under The Makeup Lucasfilm By Eric Langberg/Sept. 7, 2022 2:51 pm EST Science fiction films — especially ones featuring aliens — require a suspension of disbelief. Filmmakers use all of the gadgets in their toolbox — plot, dialogue, score, costuming, and more — to convince audiences that they’re aboard a fantastical, futuristic, or far-away world. Fans appreciate it when alien designs use makeup effects, so a creature feels like it exists in three-dimensional space....

Why Ronny Cox’s Total Recall Hairstyle Forced Paul Verhoeven To Scrap Two Days Of Footage TriStar Pictures By Joe Roberts/Nov. 15, 2022 12:47 pm EST In the ’80s, Dutch director Paul Verhoeven came to America and started churning out a series of notable sci-fi adventures. “Robocop” established him as a distinct voice within the genre, and then Arnold Schwarzenegger tapped him to direct the long-gestating “Total Recall.” During that time, he also managed to gain a reputation for his no-nonsense approach to filmmaking....

You Can Own This Amazing Lifelike Animatronic Grogu Puppet For A Cool $100,000 Adam Savage’s Tested By Jenna Busch/July 25, 2022 8:58 pm EST As I walked the floor of San Diego Comic-Con for the few minutes I was brave enough to do so (even with a mask on), I passed a tiny little green guy who was waving his arms around, peeping and cooing at the crowd. It was an animatronic Grogu!...

How the Bloodstone family became monster hunters Marvel Comics To understand who the Bloodstone family is in the pages of Marvel Comics, you have to start very long ago. In 8250 B.C., a hunter spied a mysterious cavern near his tribe. He entered it and encountered Ulluxy’l, an immortal, god-like guardian of the Bloodstone gem. The interdimensional being gave the hunter power and asked him to bring his tribe to the cavern so they could receive power....

A Goofy Movie’s Success Defied All Of Disney’s Expectations Walt Disney Pictures By Steven Ward/Sept. 3, 2022 11:59 pm EST It’s one of the tragic moments of adulthood. You sit down to watch a film you idolized in your childhood — and haven’t seen in just as long — only to discover a far less magical or even entertaining experience. Luckily, that’s absolutely not the case with the 1995 Disney classic “A Goofy Movie,” which I recently treated myself to a rewatch of....

Bradley Cooper’s Singing Voice Sold Lady Gaga On A Star Is Born Warner Bros. Pictures By Sarah Musnicky/Dec. 10, 2022 10:00 am EST Looking back on 2018’s “A Star is Born,” it’s crazy how much it blew up. This award-winning remake took the world by storm in part due to the successful chemistry and performances delivered by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. In the film, we follow seasoned musician Jackson Maine (Cooper) who chances upon struggling artist Ally (Lady Gaga)....

Bradley Cooper To Play The Title Character In Steven Spielberg’s New Bullitt Movie United Artists Releasing By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 17, 2022 4:43 pm EST One of the greatest filmmakers of all time, one of the best actors of our generation, and one of the most thrilling action/thrillers the genre has ever given us? Yeah, you could say we’re excited for this news. We knew that the living legend Steven Spielberg had his sights set on putting his own stamp on the 1968 classic “Bullitt,” starring Steve McQueen and featuring one of the most heralded car chase sequences ever put to film....

Harmon pulls a Hulk Hogan NBC In an interview with GQ, the Russo recall long hours while workshopping Harmon’s script. They were happy with the process but noticed that Harmon was continually butting heads with one of the producers (whom they politely decline to name). As they neared the shoot, these disagreements grew more and more heated until, finally, Harmon blew his stack in a most unusual way. According to Joe, “The producer had said something I think that upset Dan about the script....

Desperado’s Love Scene Was Hard For Salma Hayek To Handle Columbia Pictures By Travis Yates/July 5, 2022 4:24 pm EST The story behind the 1995 film “Desperado” is as interesting as the film itself. In 1991, 23-year-old Robert Rodriguez wrote and directed his first feature film, the Spanish-language Western action/thriller “El Mariachi,” on a shoestring budget of around $7,000. The movie, about a mariachi who turns into a vigilante after being mistaken for a criminal, caught the attention of Columbia Pictures, who signed Rodriguez to direct the film’s sequel, “Desperado....

Every Season Of Bojack Horseman, Ranked Worst To Best Netflix By Liam Gaughan/Nov. 7, 2022 3:13 pm EST “BoJack Horseman” is one of the best projects that Netflix has ever created. An odd mishmash of genres, it’s a show that could only exist within the streaming era. The series refuses to abide by a formula — constantly upending the viewer’s expectations. Animated comedy shows for adults have evolved since the initial success of “Family Guy” and “South Park....

In this re-imagining of the 2014 Austrian horror film of the same name, twin boys Elias and Lukas (Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti) visit their mother at her country home only to discover that something is very wrong....

Harrison Ford Raised Plenty Of Hell Behind The Scenes Of American Graffiti Universal Pictures By Jeremy Smith/Dec. 8, 2022 4:00 pm EST Had all gone according to a very vague plan, Jacques Demy’s “Model Shop” would’ve turned Harrison Ford into a movie star — or, at the very least, it would’ve given him his first lead role. Columbia Pictures had zero faith in the unknown Ford, so they insisted on Gary Lockwood, who’d just played Frank Poole in Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Opera....

‘The best thing about it is taking it off’ Prime Video “The Boys” costume designer Laura Jean Shannon has done a fantastic job across the board, but these outfits still suffer from the same unavoidable difficulties as pretty much all superhero suits — they are historically very uncomfortable. Looking at Homelander’s outfit, it’s easy to see that it wouldn’t take long to overheat. Starr told Entertainment Tonight: “The uncomfortable bit starts at the neck and ends at the boots....
