Universal Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 21, 2022 9:52 pm EST Billy Eichner made history with his gay rom-com “Bros” from Universal Pictures, but if co-star Luke Macfarlane has his way, the stereotype-smashing comedy won’t be the only venture in this world. While not yet available in theaters, “Bros” recently screened at the Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews, which had journalists on the scene already asking the cast and creative team about the possibility of a sequel....

Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale Scrapped A Major Part Of Its Source Material Sony Pictures Releasing By Witney Seibold/Sept. 26, 2022 6:30 am EST Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel, “Casino Royale” was published on August 13, 1953. He arrived just in time. In Tony Bennett’s and Janet Woollacott’s 1987 book “Bond and Beyond: The Political Career of a Popular Hero,” the authors point out that Bond’s literary function was to lend England — smarting after the damage of the second World War, and currently embroiled in a Cold War — a little bit of patriotic panache....

Disney’s Strange World Can’t Help But Feel Unique In The Pandemic Age Walt Disney Pictures By Ben F. Silverio/Nov. 29, 2022 9:21 pm EST This post contains spoilers for “Strange World.” It’s been said that “life imitates art,” but the expression also works the way around in terms of “writing what you know.” Taking inspiration from your own lived experience has been responsible for some of the most powerful stories of the ages like “Almost Famous” by Cameron Crowe, Steven Spielberg’s latest masterpiece “The Fabelmans,” or the upcoming Disney+ series “American Born Chinese,” which is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang....

Entergalactic Trailer: Kid Cudi’s Animated Series Looks Hip And Hypnotic Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 13, 2022 9:43 am EST The last few months have been worrisome for lovers of animation, as streamers purge their animated offerings, including exclusive programming. Fortunately, all is not lost, as Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming “Entergalactic,” a gorgeous original series from Kid Cudi and Kenya Barris. The animation style looks quite a bit like the revolutionary designs of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” which is not only by design, but also a testament to the innovation of the animated medium....

Every Main Character In Black Adam Ranked Worst To Best Warner Bros./YouTube By Ben Begley/Oct. 24, 2022 6:09 pm EST Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the movie “Black Adam.” “Black Adam” has finally arrived in theaters after a 15-year roller coaster of development hell, but was it worth the wait? Critics are mixed — you can see what /Film’s own Witney Seibold thought about the film in his “Black Adam” review — while audiences seem far more receptive to the newest DC Extended Universe entry....

Every Main Character In Six Feet Under, Ranked Worst To Best HBO By Justin McDevitt/Nov. 5, 2022 3:15 pm EST Warning: The below feature contains major spoilers for HBO’s “Six Feet Under.” In 2001, Ryan Murphy had not adapted “The Normal Heart” for television. Mike Nichols had not yet transformed “Angels in America” into a six-part miniseries for HBO. While serious gay art thrived on the stage — thanks to the pioneering efforts of writers like Tony Kushner, Larry Kramer, and Terrence McNally — television offerings were bleak....

How The Outrageous Creature Names In Disney’s Strange World Came To Be [Exclusive] Disney By Rafael Motamayor/Sept. 21, 2022 12:35 pm EST Walt Disney Animation Studios’s 61st animated feature, “Strange World,” is posed to bring a breath of fresh air to the nearly 100-year-old studio.

Marvel Studios By Jenna Busch/Nov. 11, 2022 7:00 am EST Major spoilers ahead for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Academy Award-nominated actor Angela Bassett has returned to the role of Queen Ramonda of Wakanda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and someone should just cross all the other names off of the Best Actress Oscar list....

Gabriel Ware/Dec. 10, 2022 8:00 am EST In the 1998 comedy film “The Waterboy,” Bobby Boucher, a sheltered and socially challenged 31-year-old “water distribution engineer,” earns a spot on the last-place South-Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs football team.

Keegan-Michael Key And Jordan Peele’s Reunion For Wendell & Wild Was Like ‘Riding A Bike’ Netflix By Rafael Motamayor/Oct. 20, 2022 4:33 pm EST Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are probably the greatest comedic duo of their generation. Their chemistry, humor, and visual storytelling is unparalleled, with a unique brand of humor and a dynamic that feels as if they’ve been performing together their whole lives. Though their time apart as individual filmmakers has resulted in Jordan Peele becoming a horror maestro with some of the best horror movies of all time, and Keegan-Michael Key acting in some phenomenal projects, any time the duo reunites is a cause for celebration....

M. Night Shyamalan Doesn’t Read Stephen King For The Scares Warner Bros. Pictures By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Oct. 7, 2022 8:57 am EST No one can dispute Stephen King’s position as a master of horror. For decades, the prolific writer has engrossed us in ideas of the unknown, telling many dark and twisted tales that have kept us up at night and for far longer after turning the last page. King’s short stories and full-length novels have been adapted into feature films and television shows since the 1970s....

A raw portrayal of an artist like no other Neon For one, we see very little of Bowie’s personal life. His wife Iman is barely in the film, and there is no mention of his previous marriage or his children. Known stories or facts like his Berlin Wall concert are not brought up, his film roles are given very quick mentions, and not a single controversy is mentioned. There are no talking heads, but the film uses archival footage from various interviews throughout the years — mostly the ’70s — where Bowie waxed poetic about art, change, and growth....

We already suspected the film was going to be more of a sequel than a reboot, and Alvarez has confirmed that. In his words, the new movie is a “direct sequel” and will feature “old man Leatherface,” which sounds kind of quaint, actually....

Old Wrapped Things Up A Little Too Neatly Universal Pictures By Shae Sennett/July 14, 2022 10:54 am EST M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” has a premise bound to creep everyone out — aging a whole lifetime within a single day. It’s an amazing set-up, but it fails to stick the landing. The conclusion of “Old” rushes to tie up every unresolved plot point so quickly that none of the explanations feel satisfying....

Vigilante Ruth in Chi-town Netflix “Ozark” Season 4: Part 2 picks up right where Part 1 left off, with Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) in the car and on the warpath after the death of her cousin Wyatt (series regular Charlie Tahan) at the hands of acting Navarro cartel chief, Javi Elizonndro (Alfonso Herrera). Wendy immediately vies to tell Javi that Ruth is out to get him, but Marty’s not ready at this point to give Ruth up and let her be killed....
