The 12 Best Tom Hiddleston Movies, Ranked BBC By Margaret David/Nov. 28, 2022 1:55 pm EST Tom Hiddleston was an up-and-coming English ginger kid when he auditioned for “Thor” in 2009. He had three things going for him: First, he’d previously worked with director and fellow Royal Academy of Dramatic Art graduate Kenneth Branagh on the UK series “Wallander.” Second, he had an outstanding, well-practiced talent for acting. And third, his audition saw him take his shot at being Thor himself, with a desperation that smacked more of the character for which he’s now best known....

Small stories, big payoff Disney+ Granted, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies have always been a bit different from the rest of the MCU. Sure, they still deal with potential threats to the safety of the entire galaxy, but they find more time to just have the characters hang out and develop their team dynamic and individual arcs. So, when it came to “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” we get a brand new experience for the MCU, one that should spark a tradition....

Tim Curry Had A Very Specific Vision In Mind For IT’s Pennywise The Clown ABC By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Aug. 29, 2022 8:43 am EST Tim Curry’s portrayal of Pennywise, the dancing clown, the omnipresent, shapeshifting ancient creature and the central antagonist of Stephen King’s “It,” is one of the most revered performances of the horror genre. Curry’s interpretation of Pennywise set a precedent; the actor employed an unnerving combination of humor and horror to add to the fearing image of the child-eating clown....

‘He comes in a whirlwind, and leaves in a whirlwind’ BBC/Netflix Ask anyone in the business (or those who cover this business!) to name one of the more eccentric actors currently working, and chances are you’ll end up with Tom Hardy near the top of quite a few lists. Of course, that’s also exactly the quality that has turned the “Star Trek: Nemesis” (never forget!), “Bronson,” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” actor into such an in-demand star in the first place....

5 Horror Movies The Average Person Would Never Survive Lionsgate By Anya Stanley/Aug. 6, 2022 12:00 pm EST Surviving a horror movie is easier than it seems. Most found footage disasters like “The Blair Witch Project” and “Grave Encounters” can be circumvented just by choosing not to visit locales known as Very Bad Places. Ordinary moviegoers don’t need to worry about Cenobites in the “Hellraiser” universe; as long as they resist the temptation to open Lemarchand’s puzzle box, the sweet, sweet suffering the Priest brings will be reserved only for those searching to expand the limits of their pain kink....

Sure, there are lots of people in the entertainment industry who are multi-hyphenates, but the level at which Serkis is operating is truly remarkable. From helping to pioneer motion capture technology as Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings” to bringing one of the most fully-realized CGI creations ever created to life in the recent “Planet of the Apes” trilogy, his place at the intersection of technology and performance is unparalleled....

Chris Columbus’ Time Directing Harry Potter Taught Daniel Radcliffe To Love Filmmaking Warner Bros. By Michael Boyle/Nov. 5, 2022 4:00 pm EST Looking back, the success of the “Harry Potter” movies seem inevitable. It was based off a beloved children’s book series, filled with a cast of renowned British actors, and we know now that the main trio of child actors would grow into their roles just fine. But as “Percy Jackson” fans learned the hard way in the early 2010s, a bad first impression can easily kill this sort of series....

Death at a wedding HBO John Macmillan is now playing the character of Laenor after the time jump of 10 years, but Theo Nate’s scenes were memorable, from his revealing walk on the beach with Rhaenyra to the loving looks he shared with Ser Joffrey.

Nate told Vulture: “It was two weeks, and they were my first days on set, so that was a baptism of fire....

Smile overperforms all expectations Paramount Pictures “Smile” stars Sosie Bacon as a therapist who becomes haunted by visions and creepy, smiling figures that only she can see. The premise is more than a little familiar if you’ve seen anything from “The Ring” to “It Follows,” but that’s certainly not a deterrent. Much like superhero movies, horror has a tendency to shine in theaters — especially in the eyes of studios, since they’re more likely to recoup their typically low budgets....

House Of The Dragon Just Made Alicent Hightower Its Most Conflicted Character HBO By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Oct. 18, 2022 9:24 am EST If there’s one thing Alicent Hightower certainly is, it is conflicted. To like Rhaenyra or not to like. To hate Rhaenyra or not to hate. In “House of the Dragon,” HBO’s breathtaking adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “Fire and Blood,” Alicent is the show’s most conflicted character. And that’s saying something, because there are many....
