What is Heads of State about? Warner Bros. Pictures As per THR, the film is being described as a “’90s style two-hander” that is a mix of the Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman starrer “Air Force One” and Dwayne Johnson buddy-cop movie “Hobbs and Shaw.” “Heads of State” is set to bring a mismatched pair together in a high-stakes situation. Judging from the name, the film appears to be a political-themed comedy with a mix of action....

House Of The Dragon Will Feature A Hell Of A Lot Of Dragons [Comic-Con] HBO By Valerie Ettenhofer/July 23, 2022 4:00 pm EST The new “Game of Thrones” prequel series is just around the corner, and “House of the Dragon” looks to be as epic as its predecessor. And while it’ll be tough for the new series about pre-“Thrones” Targaryan clashes to live up to the massive worldwide hype of its predecessor, it sounds like there’s one metric by which it’ll definitely beat “Game of Thrones” right out of the gate: dragon count....

I’m Totally Fine Star Harvey Guillén Thinks We Could All Use An Escape [Exclusive Interview] Decal Releasing By Jack Giroux/Nov. 7, 2022 11:40 am EST Harvey Guillén is like a great cleanup hitter. The bases are set, and then Guillén steps up to the plate and just makes the game better.

James Cameron Explains The Origins Behind Avatar’s Unobtanium By Travis Yates/Aug. 2, 2022 6:05 pm EST There are certain moments in cinema history you remember as real groaners. I believe kids today call it “cringe.” Sometimes it’s a brief moment from a movie, like the awkward John Cena love scene in “Trainwreck.” Other times, you realize the entire direction of the film is about to go very wrong, like when Luke Skywalker chucks his lightsaber over his shoulder in the early moments of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi....

By Drew Tinnin/Oct. 25, 2022 5:46 pm EST Try and find anyone who doesn’t like Joe Dante’s science fiction comedy “Innerspace.” Whether you’re a child of the ’80s, you discovered the tiny adventures of Dennis Quaid and Martin Short on DVD and home video, or happened to catch it at a special theatrical screening, chances are you love this movie....

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Inception Hallway Fight Was Only Given One Line In The Script Warner Bros. By Demetra Nikolakakis/Nov. 27, 2022 8:00 am EST “Inception” tries to pack a lot into its 148-minute runtime. Between its explanations of dreamscapes and its ethical dilemmas about treating fantasy as reality, Christopher Nolan certainly had his work cut out for him. Sure, there might’ve been a few plot holes by the movie’s end, but considering how ambitious “Inception” was, that seems pretty fair....

Leonard Nimoy Almost Directed The Doctor Who TV Movie BBC One / FOX By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 3, 2022 5:20 pm EST The 1996 made-for-TV movie “Doctor Who: The Movie” isn’t exactly something most people would write home about, but over the last 25 or so years, time has been kind to it as new generations of Whovians have found something worth celebrating. “Doctor Who” has been around since 1963, and has experienced several waves of style shifting, reinvention, and approaches to storytelling....

Mackenzie Davis Brought Plenty Of Lived Experience To Her Performance In Station Eleven HBO Max By Sandy Schaefer/Oct. 14, 2022 5:39 pm EST Timing, in a sense, was both against and on the side of “Station Eleven” when it premiered in December 2021. Created by Patrick Somerville and adapted from Emily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel of the same name, the HBO miniseries centers on the outbreak of a deadly flu virus....

When the Thunderbolts strike Marvel Studios “Thunderbolts” is slated to finish the MCU’s fifth phase, releasing in theaters in summer 2024. The film follows “Captain America: New World Order” and the (probable) Skrull nightmare of “Secret Invasion.” Both movies could provide clues to what these villains-turned-slightly-heroic characters are up to next. If the MCU’s Thunderbolts borrow from their comic book counterparts, they might help fill out a world that no longer trusts superheroes....

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Sings The Saddest Happy Birthday In ‘A Gloomy Song’ Crunchyroll By Adam Wescott/Nov. 7, 2022 3:00 pm EST This might be the single most action-packed episode of “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury” yet.

Our 10 Biggest Predictions For The Boys Season 4 By Cass Clarke/Aug. 8, 2022 2:04 pm EST When Soldier Boy resurfaces in Season 3, Butcher attempts to use him (not unlike how Vought uses Supes as weapons) to defeat Homelander. His choices almost kill his entire team, unleashes an atomic-bomb-level threat into the open that obliterates dozens of Herogasm attendees, and sentences himself to death. Although the Boys manage to put Soldier Boy back on ice and ward off Homelander’s attacks in Season 3’s finale, it’s clear Butcher’s plan backfired....

Spaceballs’ Dark Helmet Was Originally Even More Over The Top, According To Rick Moranis MGM/UA Communications Co. By Matt Rainis/Sept. 30, 2022 3:52 pm EST Mel Brooks has a long and storied career of lambasting genre movies. From making a mockery of the Western in “Blazing Saddles” to laughing at Broadway shows with “The Producers,” no piece of entertainment was ever safe from Brooks’ sardonic wrath. This includes science fiction, which Brooks took on in 1987 with “Spaceballs....

Mystery Men (1999) Universal Pictures “Mystery Men” is a film that was ahead of its time. While a comedic take on the superhero genre may have been odd in the late 1990s, audiences may have been more receptive to the silly action-comedy if it had been released around the same time as the “X-Men” and “Spider-Man” franchises. Ben Stiller had a challenge on his hands in that it was a brilliant parody, but the genre it was making fun of hadn’t caught on quite yet....

The Gritty ’70s Charles Bronson Performance That Inspired John Carpenter’s Escape From New York AVCO Embassy Pictures By Lee Adams/Oct. 2, 2022 5:00 pm EST Chuck Norris may have countless memes dedicated to his toughness and manliness, but fellow action star Charles Bronson was the real deal. Not only was he just as tough in real life as the characters he played on screen, he was also such a double-hard bastard that “Britain’s most notorious prisoner” also changed his name to Charles Bronson to make himself sound even tougher....
