Mark Patton New Line Cinema Mark Patton is known as the first male “final girl,” though this hasn’t always been a title associated with pride. At 21, Patton was cast as Jesse Walsh, the lead in “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge,” the sequel to Wes Craven’s imaginative 1984 slasher. Premiering in the midst of the AIDS epidemic, the film received mixed reviews and many criticized the plot’s overtly gay themes....
Building LEGO sets one brick at a time LEGO Marvel and DC Comics LEGO Sets There are a ridiculous amount of LEGO sets out there and we all know they make excellent gifts for folks for children and adults alike, so let us take a gander at some, starting with the superhero sets. LEGO definitely seems to be leaning pretty heavily on the Marvel side of things, but we do have some Batmobile options for you brickheads out there (both the Robert Pattinson muscle car version and the Christian Bale tumbler)....

Spring and fall are traditionally the two biggest anime seasons, packed with blockbusters and surefire hits....
The Best TV Shows And Movies Leaving Netflix In October 2022 Pop TV By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 21, 2022 4:29 pm EST Another month, another slew of movies and TV shows take their final bow before leaving Netflix for different digital pastures. Usually, these exits come as the result of an expiring licensing agreement and indicate the project will end up on a different service or on VOD, but this month has one program exiting that may end up being catapulted into the virtual void....
Play it again, Sam Warner Bros. Pictures Humphrey Bogart stars in “The Maltese Falcon” as Sam Spade, a San Francisco P.I. who gets pulled into a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and murder, all of it involving the titular item — a priceless jewel-encrusted falcon statuette that only matters inasmuch as everyone in the film is after it. To call Sam unsentimental would be putting it mildly. He’s barely phased to learn his partner, Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan), has been killed shortly after taking on a suspicious new client....
The Great Escape’s Barbed Wire Jump Used The Wrong Bike For The Job United Artists By Anya Stanley/Nov. 13, 2022 5:30 pm EST A great moment in a good war movie can stir up emotions up in even the hardest of moviegoers. Think of “The Ride of the Valkyries” in Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now.” The ambush of the Acheron in “Master and Commander.” The German U-Boat crew singing “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary” in “Das Boot....
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5 Ending Explained: Someone Give June A Break Hulu By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Nov. 9, 2022 12:50 am EST Major spoilers for “The Handmaid’s Tale” season 5 finale are below. As “The Handmaid’s Tale” moves into its season 5 finale, all hope is lost. After a failed operation, June (Elisabeth Moss) lost her only chance to get her daughter Hannah back. Nick (Max Minghella) has refused to aid June in exchange for immunity because he has a family to protect, Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) is a slow-progressing but a still-confused villain in a suit, and Luke (O-T Fagbenle) is in deep, deep trouble....
The Lord Of The Rings’ Fight Choreography Had To Do More Than Just Look Cool New Line Cinema By Steven Ward/Aug. 6, 2022 11:59 pm EST I still remember the unreal awe I experienced as a kid watching the spectacle of “The Fellowship of the Ring” come to life in theaters. Its three-hour runtime is virtually a goosebump minefield, from Gandalf’s showdown with the Balrog in Moria to the heart-wrenching splitting of the fellowship at Parth Galen....
Building from Shore’s legacy Prime Video McCreary also spoke at length on the ways by which Shore’s musical themes for the first three J.R.R. Tolkien films served as a jumping off point for him, helping McCreary to create new music that represents each Middle Earth colony at the show’s specific moment in time. “For me, one of the things that’s interesting is I was looking at all the elements Howard put in,” McCreary shared....
The Resident Evil Netflix Series Should’ve Taken A Big Lesson From The Original Games Netflix By Debopriyaa Dutta/July 15, 2022 10:00 am EST Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Netflix’s “Resident Evil” series. Video game adaptations have always sported a mixed, murky history. Most attempts to translate beloved video game storylines into live-action have failed miserably, for the most part. There are some delightful exceptions — for instance, 2021’s “Mortal Kombat” was a marked improvement from its previous adaptations, managing to capture the essence of the games, while still delivering on the character front....
The White Lotus Season 2 Trailer: Prepare For Another Deadly Stay At Your Favorite Resort HBO By Shania Russell/Oct. 6, 2022 12:50 pm EST As the debut season of “House of the Dragon” draws to close, it’s time to think about the important things in life — like what the hell will become of HBO’s Sunday night lineup? Well, worry not, because that dilemma already has a satisfying solution. The network is turning away from questions of incest and succession to return to its roots: sex, drugs, and murder....
What is Death Note? Viz Media Before we get to the parodies, what is “Death Note” itself about? Well, it all starts with two very bored people. One is Japanese teenager Light Yagami, who is straight as an arrow and a model student to boot. The other is Ryuk, a Shinigami (Japanese spirits of death). The Shinigami sustain themselves with “Death Notes,” books which kill anyone whose name is written on their pages....
Danielle Harris got emancipated just to do the movie Galaxy International Releasing After “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers,” Danielle Harris made it clear she wanted to continue her run as Jamie Lloyd. However, years later, the then-17-year-old was shocked when she learned producers were seeking a lookalike over 18 to cast as Jamie Lloyd for the 1995 sequel, “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.” Her agent jumped on a call with producers Moustapha Akkad and Paul Freeman to express Harris’ desire to reprise her role....
A Twitter DM From Travis Stevens Got Josh Ruben Involved In A Wounded Fawn Shudder By Drew Tinnin/Dec. 1, 2022 12:45 pm EST Shudder just dropped a December treat in the form of Travis Stevens’ new surrealist cat-and-mouse horror film “A Wounded Fawn,” starring Sarah Lind and Josh Ruben. After a successful run as a producer on genre documentaries such as “Jodorowsky’s Dune” and memorable features like “Cheap Thrills” and “We Are Still Here,” Stevens moved into the director’s chair with the housebound thriller “Girl on the Third Floor” and the delightful vampire comedy “Jakob’s Wife....
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley Is Bringing Back Some Key Franchise Cast Members Paramount By Jeremy Smith/Sept. 21, 2022 6:40 pm EST Eddie Murphy turned 61 years old this year, which makes him roughly the same age John Wayne was when he played the out-to-pasture codger Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit.” That film, and Wayne’s subsequent Westerns, had an elegiac, one-last-ride feeling to them. Yes, the Duke’s cancer was in remission at this point, but he still looked washed....
Connect Trailer: Takashi Miike Brings His Brand Of Horror To A Disney+ Korea Series Disney+ Korea By Erin Brady/Sept. 30, 2022 6:27 pm EST I’ve always thought it was a bit unfair to pigeonhole Takashi Miike as a director known solely for shock and horror. While some of his most famous movies, such as “Audition” and “Ichi the Killer,” do fall in this realm, he’s also made everything from family movies to legal comedies and even musicals throughout his lengthy career....
‘They didn’t ask to be a werewolf’ Disney+ I’m guessing you had a very good birthday on Monday? Yeah, it didn’t suck [Laughs]. It was very nice. You’re always nerve-wracked whenever you put something out into the world, because the world seems to like to attack things as quickly as they can, and they didn’t do that. I was almost like, “Wait a minute, did I get pushed into some other universe where people say nice things, as opposed to terrible things?...
Every Main Character On Firefly Ranked Worst To Best 20th Television By Eric Pierce/Sept. 28, 2022 5:13 pm EST The great Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said, “The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.” Most people think Tzu was talking about the importance of conservation and avoiding burnout. He could just as easily have been referring to the beloved sci-fi television show “Firefly,” which graced our screens for 14 sublime episodes, briefly returned via the 2005 film “Serenity,” and was never heard from again....
How A Classic Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode Quotes Akira Kurosawa To Explore Commander Riker’s Sexual Politics Paramount By Witney Seibold/Nov. 8, 2022 1:00 pm EST (Welcome to Yesterday’s Enterprises, a series where we explore every corner of the vast “Star Trek” universe. In this edition: What does “A Matter of Perspective” say about Riker’s sexual politics?) As a commander, Captain Kirk (William Shatner) was, in the original “Star Trek” series, something of a level-headed, military-minded leader....
How An Under-Two-Minute Film Ended Up With An Oscar Nomination Showtime / Shorts HD By Witney Seibold/Aug. 6, 2022 7:30 pm EST The longest film to ever be nominated for an Academy Award was Ezra Edelman’s 2016 film “O.J.: Made in America.” Running a whopping 467 minutes, “O.J.” was presented theatrically in two chunks: one was four hours, the other was three and a half hours. More than a detailed account of O....
