Andor Finally Shows How Truly Evil Star Wars’ Empire Is Disney+ By Rafael Motamayor/Oct. 27, 2022 3:38 pm EST When it comes to “Star Wars,” we see plenty of the battle between good and evil, whether it’s dogfights in space or lightsaber battles in moon-sized space stations. But we rarely get to see how the war actually impacts common people, at least not in live-action.The Clone Wars that drive the prequel trilogy really only start in the last 10 minutes of “Attack of the Clones” and was mostly over by the start of “Revenge of the Sith....

Chuck Russell’s CGI Troubles With The Blob Paved The Way For Jim Carrey’s The Mask TriStar Pictures By Lee Adams/Nov. 17, 2022 11:01 am EST What’s your favorite melt movie? Don’t worry, it’s okay if you don’t have one. It’s an extremely specific horror sub-genre and it’s certainly not to everyone’s taste. The list is short and grisly, and to qualify a movie’s narrative must involve several gnarly scenes of people getting destroyed in some horribly gloopy way....

Season 1 HBO The first season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is much stronger than that of other series premieres and does a terrific job of establishing the type of humor that would make it a modern comedy classic. It got off to a strong start with “The Pants Tent,” which sees Larry dealing with a pair of pants that puff up in the front, making it look like he’s, well, aroused....

A smart ending AMC Of course, Seehorn isn’t the episode’s director and writer, Peter Gould, so her interpretation of the ending might not be strictly canon. However, she revealed that Gould wrote the final moments of the show purposefully vague so that the audience could draw their own conclusions: “I know Peter wanted to write an ending – and he masterfully did – that, when the screen goes black, it’s not just that there will be people who think one thing over the other....

I have to go shower forever now … see ya! Yes, Chuck is keeping in touch with his son Franklin (James Morosini, who also wrote and directed the film) by catfishing him. He creates a profile based on an actual waitress named Becca (Claudia Sulewski), and they start flirting and chatting, with the audience seeing their online interactions as imaginary real-life dates between Becca and Franklin. Neither Chuck’s significant other Erica (played by Rachel Dratch) nor his co-worker Jimmy (played by Lil Rel Howery) think this is a good idea, because they’re right-thinking people....

James Hong Wants To Return For Dwayne Johnson’s Big Trouble In Little China Remake “Black Adam” star and wrestling legend Dwayne Johnson has spent years eyeballing a continuation of John Carpenter’s “Big Trouble in Little China,” a genre-blending action film that provided Kurt Russell with one of his all-time great performances. The film was originally supposed to be a traditional Western focusing on a sharpshooter in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show who becomes a buffalo hunter to help feed the Chinese workers on the railroad, but was updated into a larger-than-life genre spectacle boasting high-octane action, romance, mystery, gunplay, mystical sorcery, martial arts, scary set pieces, and one of the coolest action heroes in history....

Not today, Chad Disney As a kid actor, Joey Lawrence got his start at Disney voicing Oliver in “Oliver & Company,” the studio’s animated “Oliver Twist” re-imagining from 1988. Lawrence would later share the screen with his siblings Andrew and Matthew Lawrence in the 1990s sitcom “Brotherly Love,” a show that later aired in syndication on the Disney Channel. Joey and Andrew Lawrence also starred in the 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie “Horse Sense” in 1999, on top of lending their voices to Disney’s animated series “Recess” around that same time....

Mythic Quest Season 3 Trailer: Apple’s Hilarious, Heartbreaking Video Game Comedy Returns Apple TV+ By Valerie Ettenhofer/Oct. 11, 2022 12:45 pm EST “Mythic Quest” season 3 is almost here, and a new trailer for the Apple TV+ gaming industry comedy just dropped today. From the looks of it, the team at Mythic Quest — and Ian (Rob McElhenney) and Poppy’s (Charlotte Nicdao) new company, Grimpop — are just as entertainingly dysfunctional as ever, only now with 100% more Joe Manganiello....

Ralph Macchio On His Experience Auditioning For The Karate Kid And Meeting Pat Morita Columbia Pictures By Matt Rainis/Nov. 10, 2022 1:00 pm EST For some actors, one series of movies can go on to define their entire career. For Daniel Radcliffe, it’s the “Harry Potter” franchise. For Michael J. Fox, it’s the “Back to the Future” franchise. For Ralph Macchio, it also could have been the “Back to the Future” franchise, but he was deemed “too east coast” for the role....

The bad ending Paramount The final scenes of “Smile” features a physical manifestation of Rose’s childhood trauma involving her late mother — as a girl, Rose witnessed her mother die — and there’s a supernatural scrape. “Smile,” curiously, is one of three recent films to feature an eight-foot-tall older woman as its monster (“It: Chapter Two” and “Barbarian” are the others). As her childhood home symbolically and literally burns down, her friend charges in to help....

Why it’s essential viewing Prime Video I shouldn’t really need to pitch you on “A League of Their Own” because in a lot of ways, it’s nothing we haven’t seen a million times before: a team of scrappy underdogs coming together because they all share a common passion — bumping heads, sparking tension, and bringing out the worst in each other until they come to their senses and realize that they can bring out the best....

The Daily Stream: Passing Is A Deep, Dazzling Take On A Classic Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/Aug. 9, 2022 4:00 pm EST (Welcome to The Daily Stream, an ongoing series in which the /Film team shares what they’ve been watching, why it’s worth checking out, and where you can stream it.)

The Greatest Beer Run Ever Review: Peter Farrelly’s Films Are Getting Dumb & Dumber [TIFF] TIFF By Sarah Milner/Sept. 16, 2022 1:14 pm EST Sometimes, I worry that the age of social media will distort our collective memory, with conspiracy theories and “fake news” narratives twisting our sense of reality to the point where we can no longer recognize history. And after watching “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” I fear this has already happened....

The Russo Brothers Credit Community For Their MCU Careers NBC By Ernesto Valenzuela/July 19, 2022 1:48 pm EST “Community” is the show that keeps on giving. The show initially ran for five seasons on NBC before being canceled by the network as fans fervently fought for and supported the show. Eventually, “Community” found a home on the streaming service “Yahoo! Screen” (yeah, that was a thing) for its sixth and final season....

St. John Talbot Paramount Say what you will about William Shatner’s 1989 film “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” — and there are plenty of negative things that can be said — it certainly didn’t lack for interesting ideas. The plot of that film involved a passionate Vulcan named Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill), secretly Spock’s half-brother, taking hostages at a remote outpost in order to lure to Enterprise to their rescue. The outpost, located on Nimbus III, was meant to be an attractive galactic “neutral ground” where warring governments could come together for peaceful diplomatic negotiations....

Tommy Boy’s VHS Release Put It On Par With The Godfather And Indiana Jones Paramount Pictures By Matt Rainis/Oct. 28, 2022 9:30 am EST “Tommy Boy” was the strongest entry into a genre of film that’s sadly extinct, a genre which I like to describe as “Let Chris Farley Go Wild for 90 Minutes.” The 1995 film from director Peter Segal is a charming low-brow comedy about a loveable idiot learning to be a responsible adult following the death of his father, who owns his hometown’s auto parts plant....

We Won’t See Jesse Pinkman Again After Better Call Saul, According To Aaron Paul Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Aug. 19, 2022 9:24 pm EST For the last 15 years, Aaron Paul has been synonymous with Jesse Pinkman, the character he originated on “Breaking Bad” back in 2007. Now, after 64 long hours of television and the “El Camino” feature film, Paul is finally saying goodbye to everyone’s favorite b****-dropping boy from “Breaking Bad....
