Avatar: The Way Of Water Footage Description: It’s Finally Time To Return To Pandora [D23] 20th Century Studios By Sandy Schaefer AND Valerie Ettenhofer/Sept. 10, 2022 4:31 pm EST Over the 13 years James Cameron has spent making his “Avatar” sequels, the film industry has gone through all manner of drastic changes. In an era where superhero movies are some of the only sure-bets at the box office (and, even then, not always) and there are way too many new streaming options on a weekly basis, can the “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” and “Titanic” director hold onto his crown as the King of the World?...

Yep, size still matters 20th Century Studios Look, I’m not going to sit here and tell readers with a straight face that “Avatar: The Way of Water” works as well as it does because it avoids indulgence and spectacular visuals. Not only would that be an outright lie, but it muddies up the fact that the world has been looking forward to this sequel precisely because of those qualities. The filmmaker behind “Aliens,” “Terminator,” and “Titanic” has a penchant for coming up with some of the loudest and most showy shots in the history of the medium, and in an age where it feels like blockbusters have generally become duller, more cynical, and less wondrous to look at than ever, “Avatar” was exactly the breath of fresh air that we needed....

This isn’t a parody RLJE Films “Christmas with the Campbells” isn’t a parody of Hallmark movies.

Constantine 2 Director Francis Lawrence Promises A ‘Real R-Rated’ Movie This Time Warner Bros By Jeremy Smith/Nov. 14, 2022 4:54 pm EST The fanboy desire for R-rated superhero movies is — by and large — silly, especially when it comes to tentpole characters like Batman, Superman and the X-Men. James Mangold made it work with the elegiac “Logan,” but that’s an itch that should rarely get scratched. The DC films are dour enough as it is, and, outside of Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy, this miserabilist approach saps what should be enthralling yarns of their fun and vitality....

Do Revenge teaser Netflix describes “Do Revenge” as a “subverted Hitchcock-ian dark comedy featuring the scariest protagonists of all: teenage girls.” That’s an unexpected combination of ideas that really sells the hell out of this movie.

Every Peter Weir Movie, Ranked Worst To Best B.E.F. Film Distributors/YouTube By Rob Hunter/Dec. 20, 2022 4:53 pm EST Some filmmakers are as well-known as their films. Think of the likes of Scorsese, Tarantino, and Spielberg — directors typically referred to solely by their last names. Others are every bit as beloved, even without the same kind of name recognition. Peter Weir is one such filmmaker, and while you won’t hear casual film fans discussing “the best Weir,” the odds are quite good that they love many of his films without even knowing his name....
