Black Mirror Moved To Netflix Because It Wasn’t ‘Black Mirror’ Enough For Channel 4 Netflix By Andrew Housman/Oct. 28, 2022 9:46 am EST The smashing success of “Black Mirror” is likely due to the crushing anxiety that technology has and continues to infect the entire world with. There are few subjects as universally relatable as the Internet, which has bridged communication with people around the globe at the same time as it has created dangerous rifts within communities....

Bottle Rocket’s Reception Made Wes Anderson Doubt He Could Get Rushmore Made Touchstone Pictures By Shae Sennett/Oct. 8, 2022 11:59 pm EST Wes Anderson is one of the most distinguished working directors today, but he thought his career might be over after his very first film. The young director was incredibly excited for the world to see “Bottle Rocket” when his Sundance short got picked up by a major Hollywood producer....

Career Opportunities In Murder And Mayhem: Mandy Patinkin’s Knives Out-Like Show Heads To Hulu Showtime I will watch anything that Mandy Patinkin does. I loved him in “Homeland,” where he managed to be simultaneously comforting and super sketchy at the same time. I loved him in “Evita” and “Sunday in the Park with George” on Broadway. And need I mention “The Princess Bride?” I can practically hear the famous line playing in your head right now....

From the cradle to the Graves Lionsgate Smith started by sharing the oft-quoted line from his breakout film: “Man, this job would be great if it wasn’t for the f**king customers.” Then, if he had kept the voiceover in the movie, he revealed that a character he called The Voice of Smod would say the following over the last shot of the movie: Randal Graves spent the rest of his life running Quick Stop Groceries whenever he wasn’t making movies, with each film financed solely by Crimson Crypto Studios....

Getting ‘Accidentally’ Cast In War Games Made Michael Madsen Into An Actor MGM/UA By Drew Tinnin/Nov. 12, 2022 8:30 pm EST For a Cold War techno-thriller about a teenage hacker named David (Matthew Broderick) who accidentally sets off a nuclear standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, “Wargames” manages to not take itself too seriously. The entire plot rests on an unmotivated Seattle wunderkind who uses his home computer to impress a neighborhood girl named Jennifer (Ally Sheedy) by changing both of their high school grades....

Where to stream the Jurassic Park and World movies Universal Pictures With the “Jurassic World” trilogy being complete, it might be time for a “Jurassic”-sized movie marathon. Every entry in the greater “Jurassic Park” franchise is available to rent or buy on digital and on-demand platforms. However, not every movie is streaming in the same place. If you’re looking for the original trilogy, which consists of “Jurassic Park,” “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” and “Jurassic Park III,” check out HBO Max....

How She-Hulk’s Plot Structure Lends Itself To So Many Cameos Marvel Studios By Lyvie Scott/Aug. 18, 2022 11:56 am EST It’s no secret that Marvel Studios loves a cheeky cameo. Kevin Feige and co. essentially wrote the book on interconnected storytelling for the 21st Century. With dozens of crisscrossing projects under Marvel’s belt (and countless more plotted out for the foreseeable future), it’s second nature to expect one superhero to appear in a movie or TV series that focuses on another....

The blockbuster no one, save for Paramount, saw coming Paramount Paramount had high hopes for “Beverly Hills Cop” going into 1984’s holiday season, but the buzz was primarily focused on ambitious sci-fi movies like “Dune,” “2010” and “Starman.” There was also Francis Ford Coppola’s pricey gangland epic “The Cotton Club” and another cop comedy in the Clint Eastwood-Burt Reynolds vehicle “City Heat.” Eddie would bury them all. According to Nick De Semlyen’s immensely entertaining “Wild and Crazy Guys: How the Comedy Mavericks of the ’80s Changed Hollywood Forever,” the studio was so excited by the euphoric response to an early test screening that they pumped an extra $2 million into the advertising budget, went wide on over 1,500 screens and opened the movie two days early on a Wednesday (a move typically reserved for event films)....

Jenna Fischer (Kinda) Revealed What Was In Jim’s Teapot Note To Pam In The Office NBCUniversal By Eric Vespe/Aug. 15, 2022 9:25 pm EST The cult of “The Office” has only grown stronger since it debuted in 2005. It’s hard to picture these days, but “The Office” was one of those shows that took a minute to find its audience, but when it did it found a very vocal, very dedicated fanbase....

John Leguizamo Doesn’t Care About Playing A Character Who’s Loved, He Just Wants To Play One Who’s Understood [Exclusive] Universal Pictures By Drew Tinnin/Nov. 30, 2022 11:00 am EST For those of us still suffering from seasonal depression and the post-Halloween blues, it’s uplifting when the holiday season is starting to move away from idealized family fare to embrace the horror genre a little more during the winter months. Compiling a list of 31 horror movies to watch every day in October isn’t really considered a difficult task due to the sheer amount of titles to choose from....

King Viserys’ House Of The Dragon Illness Became A Real-Life Problem For Paddy Considine HBO By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Nov. 30, 2022 7:27 am EST Paddy Considine’s portrayal of King Viserys in “House of the Dragon” has been nothing short of terrific. The show has been commended for consistently improving on the book: it gives King Viserys the space to be a human being and makes him agonize and endure the consequences of his decisions....

Let’s take a closer look at the concept art 20th Century Studios Luckily, the fine filmmakers bringing the continuation of this consistently excellent franchise (save for Tim Burton’s remake) also offered up a little taste of what to expect. We have a new piece of concept art for the film which is, quite frankly, incredible to look at and warrants much discussion, in my humble opinion. Let’s take a gander....

Michael Douglas’ Character In Falling Down All Came From The Hair Warner Bros. By Matt Rainis/Nov. 20, 2022 3:00 pm EST “Falling Down” is the story of a man who gets pushed over the edge. That man, played by Michael Douglas, feels alienated and impotent in his place in society, and after suffering a mental breakdown, he goes on a violent (and often racist) rampage through Los Angeles. The movie’s themes feel perhaps even more prescient today than they did when it was released, with Douglas’ character serving as a sort of avatar for the “white male rage” of the Internet era, when people are more isolated than ever....

The Crown Knows It Has To ‘Earn’ Its More Risqué Moments Netflix By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Oct. 22, 2022 5:00 pm EST “The Crown” unravels decades of British history throughout its ten-episodic season. Showrunner Peter Morgan’s stellar attention to detail guarantees that the most historic, noteworthy events experienced by the British monarchy make the cut — but sometimes, he wants a scene to illustrate the commitment and love shared between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip....

Michel Seydoux’s career Gaumont Michel Seydoux has been active as a film and TV producer since the early 1970s, often focusing on documentaries. Among his non-documentary credits are a 1979 film adaptation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s 18th-century opera “Don Giovanni,” the 1990 movie version of “Cyrano de Bergerac” (the classic 19th-century Edmond Rostand play that’s inspired everything from Joe Wright’s movie musical “Cyrano” to an episode of “Wishbone”), and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s critically-acclaimed “The Dance of Reality,” an autobiographical musical fantasy drama film that is basically to Jodorowsky what “8½” is to Federico Fellini....

The Rings Of Power VFX Producer Wanted To Bring ‘Humanity’ To The Orcs [Exclusive] Prime Video By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 30, 2022 3:49 pm EST You shall not pass … unless you’ve seen the latest episode of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Spoilers within! Viewers following along with “The Rings of Power” may have noticed that, like any adaptation, certain liberties have been taken from the J.R.R. Tolkien-authored source material in order to tell a complete and engaging story....

Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Lucasfilm/Disney While most viewers fondly remember the “Indiana Jones” franchise for its iconic moments with star Harrison Ford, the series also featured early performances from many acclaimed actors (including the subject of this list). That’s right. Alfred Molina is indeed in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” In the movie, Molina plays Satipo, a Peruvian guide who helps Indy go through the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors....

Why this episode matters moving forward Netflix When compared to the other arcs in the mainline “Sandman” comic series, “Dream Country” is a bit of a misnomer. Instead of telling a somewhat cohesive plot, each issue of the arc is its own self-contained story, although elements of these stories do appear in later arcs. This makes “Dream Country” the perfect arc to adapt for an episode like this one. It can satisfy fans as they wait for further news while also being easy to follow for anyone who hasn’t watched the series or read the comics....
