What We Know About The Fall of the House of Usher Netflix Story details for the series have been scant and, based on his approach to “Hill House” and “Bly Manor,” there’s no reason to expect a direct adaptation. Flanagan no doubt has tricks up his sleeve for retelling the Poe classic, but a look at the story’s plot will give us a few hints to go on. Poe’s short story follows the Usher siblings, Roderick and Madeline, after they fall ill and invite a childhood friend to come to visit them for help....

Prime Video By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 9, 2022 4:41 pm EST I guess we weren’t meant to have nice things after all. In absolutely devastating news, Prime Video has announced that their fantastic adaptation of the sci-fi comic book series “Paper Girls” has been canceled after just one season. Based on the brilliant series written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Cliff Chiang, “Paper Girls” is a powerful coming-of-age story about four newspaper delivery girls who accidentally travel to the future and find themselves trapped in the middle of a time war....

Meet Lisa Trevor The story of Lisa Trevor is one of the most compelling in the entire “Resident Evil” video game franchise, and one that was completely ignored in the original run of films, so unless you’ve played the game, chances are she just looks like another run-of-the-mill creepy monster. The reality is far more depressing, and makes her far more sympathetic in the canon of “Resident Evil” creatures. If you want to go into “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” as spoiler free as possible, this is your sign to skip the rest of the article....

‘I’d say, ‘Big movie, big movie’’ Marvel Studios I’ve seen the movie, and without getting into spoilers, I can say that Coogler pulls off more than a few impressive chase scenes, epic battles, and larger-than-life moments. Those sequences were something Coogler put an extra focus on during filming. “I’d even say it on set sometimes. I’d say, ‘Big movie, big movie,’ just to remind everybody there’s opportunity,” he said. “We have something that if we do it right, people will want to see it....

Tales From The Box Office: 10 Years Later, Django Unchained Is Still Quentin Tarantino’s Biggest Movie Lantern Entertainment By Ryan Scott/Dec. 24, 2022 10:00 am EST (Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.) There are few directors quite like Quentin Tarantino. Particularly in the modern era of Hollywood where intellectual property and pre-existing franchises are king, the director of hits like “Pulp Fiction” and “Kill Bill” has essentially become a franchise of sorts unto himself....

The Daily Stream: Lady Vengeance Concludes Park Chan-Wook’s Neo-Noir Vengeance Trilogy In A Subversively Feminist Fashion CJ Entertainment By Erin Brady/Nov. 11, 2022 7:14 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.)

Boilmer heart Spock Paramount This seems an unlikely claim, as Brad Boimler and Spock couldn’t be more different. One is nervous and career-obsessed. The other is collected and scientific. Boimler is inexperienced and exasperated and nervous. Spock is cultured, clear-thinking, and always has his wits about him. Putting Boimler and Spock in the same room might produce tension similar to that of … well, probably Tuvok (Tim Russ) and Neelix (Ethan Phillips) from “Voyager....

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailer Breakdown: Give Me Rainbow (Fury) Road Or Give Me Game Over Illumination / Nintendo By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 29, 2022 8:07 pm EST The first teaser trailer for “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” gave us the “wrong-sounding Muppets” version of Mario voiced by Chris Pratt, a fantastic portrayal of Toad by Keegan-Michael Key, an army of penguins from Super Mario 64, and the crushing reveal that in this movie, Mario Mario has no ass....

Warner Bros. Discovery Lost $3.4 Billion In First Quarter After The Merger Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 4, 2022 5:24 pm EST Warner Bros. Discovery has found itself at the center of a somewhat less-than-ideal quagmire of its own making, and that was before today’s investor’s call revealed the extent of the studio’s financial losses in the immediate aftermath of this year’s momentous merger. These sorts of business developments are typically made with an eye set squarely on future profits down the line — we’re talking a timeframe of years and possibly even decades....

White Noise Trailer: Adam Driver And Greta Gerwig Try To Survive Mundanity And Disaster Netflix By Valerie Ettenhofer/Nov. 22, 2022 1:15 pm EST Historically, it’s been pretty easy to tell from the outset whether you’ll like a Noah Baumbach film or not. The writer-director tackles a lot of similar themes across his filmography, from the specific ennui of the educated class to the woes of growing up — even once you’re already an adult....

Why Daniel Radcliffe Had To Speak Out Against J.K. Rowling In His 2020 Open Letter HBO Max By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Nov. 2, 2022 2:48 pm EST Throughout 2020, J.K. Rowling, creator of the beloved “Harry Potter” children’s franchise, chose the height of the COVID-19 pandemic for a transphobic soapbox. Though the author had expressed her TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) stances before on Twitter, Rowling took to her blog with a 3,670 word essay, which was full of dangerous misconceptions about trans identity, logical fallacies, and blatant hatespeech....

What is Little Women about? Netflix As the show’s title suggests, “Little Women” is a loose — like, loose-loose — adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel of the same name. “Little Women” is a story that’s undergone countless remakes, especially recently, but few have transplanted the story from antebellum Massachusetts into the present day as the Netflix series does. It drops the quaint slice-of-life conceit of Alcott’s novel in favor of the class disparity, greed and corruption that drives so many incredible South Korean crime dramas....

Ari Aster’s Favorite Hereditary Scene Is Also The Movie’s Most Unsettling A24 By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Oct. 26, 2022 10:23 am EST Ari Aster’s “Hereditary” is a film about trauma, grief, and worshipping ancient demons.
