Hbo Max Has No Plans For Young Justice Season 5

HBO Max Has ‘No Plans’ For Young Justice Season 5 HBO Max By Rafael Motamayor/Aug. 17, 2022 5:02 pm EST Warner Bros.

Nope’s Box Office Victory Cements Jordan Peele As A Franchise Unto Himself Universal Pictures By Ryan Scott/July 25, 2022 12:55 pm EST For a great many lovers of pop culture, the weekend box office was greatly overshadowed by the return of San Diego Comic-Con. It was the first in-person event since 2019 and it did not disappoint in terms of big, flashy news that was worth paying attention to. Be that as it may, it was still a big weekend as Jordan Peele’s “Nope” debuted in theaters and easily managed to take the top spot, serving as a huge win for original cinema in the pandemic era....

Roost Review A Deeply Uncomfortable Film Full Of Bad Choices Tiff

Roost Review: A Deeply Uncomfortable Film Full Of Bad Choices [TIFF] TIFF By Sarah Milner/Sept. 15, 2022 8:00 pm EST The idea of a grown man having sex with a teenage girl is disturbing. This is — sort of — the point of “Roost.” I think? It’s never really clear what the thriller is trying to say. To be honest, I may have just missed the memo: partway through this film, my urge to crawl out of my skin was so strong that I think my soul left my body....

The Greatest Star Trek Moments Of 2022

The Greatest Star Trek Moments Of 2022 Paramount By Witney Seibold/Dec. 13, 2022 9:00 am EST 2022 saw the release of 45 new episodes of “Star Trek” — the highest volume of “Star Trek” that audiences have been treated to since the 1990s heyday of the franchise. 1996 and 1998 it seems, still hold the record for Most Treks, as both years saw the airing of 54 one-hour “Star Trek” episodes between “Deep Space Nine” and “Voyager,” as well as the theatrical releases of “Star Trek: First Contact” and “Star Trek: Insurrection,” respectively....

The Idea Behind Sinister S Story Started With A Viewing Of The Ring

The Idea Behind Sinister’s Story Started With A Viewing Of The Ring Summit Entertainment By Sandy Schaefer/July 13, 2022 3:22 pm EST Director Scott Derrickson’s “Sinister” turns 10 in 2022, and it’s only grown more topical over the last decade. The film, for those not aware, stars Ethan Hawke as a true-crime author who knowingly moves his family to a house where the previous occupants were murdered under mysterious circumstances. It’s not that true-crime works were unpopular in 2012 when “Sinister” came out (quite the opposite), but they also weren’t the cottage industry they are today....

The Music Of The Witcher Blood Origin Features A First Time Singer And A Famous Film Composer Exclusive

A carrier of timeless tunes Netflix De Barra explained that music was at the center of “Blood Origin” because it was at the center of Éile: “Éile, she’s a singer. She’s left her past behind. She’s trying to atone for her sins through music. So she wants to be a bard for the people and to connect with them. So in a sense, she’s like an elven folksinger. So that was the touch I wanted to get in these songs and wrote them is that they are timeless and they’re the songs that could be sung unaccompanied....

Where The Crawdads Sing Review A Sordid Murder Trial Descends Into A Soapy Snooze

Where The Crawdads Sing Review: A Sordid Murder Trial Descends Into A Soapy Snooze Sony Pictures By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 12, 2022 12:00 pm EST A body in a North Carolina marsh. A beautiful outcast. A sensationalist murder trial. “Where the Crawdads Sing” has all the elements for a sordid Southern gothic thriller, but the thrills stop with the premise (though not with the, frankly, more scandalous behind-the-scenes story). Instead, the mystery drama directed by Olivia Newman from a screenplay written by Lucy Alibar, is more interested in the soapy love triangle that protagonist Catherine “Kya” Clark (Daisy Edgar-Jones) finds herself embroiled in, which is par for the course for a movie produced by Reese Witherspoon and based on a bestselling beach read....

Why Dan Harmon Won’t Call Community A Sitcom ‘Spoof’ NBC By Danielle Ryan/Aug. 28, 2022 2:45 pm EST There are quite a few ways someone could describe the way the NBC series “Community” approached its sitcom status. Call it deconstruction, call it subversion, call it homage, but whatever you do, do not call the series a “spoof.” The show, which ran for five seasons on NBC before hopping over to Yahoo for its final season, played with the sitcom format to create something a little more interesting....

Why Event Horizon Is One Of The Best And Scariest Sci Fi Horror Movies Ever Made

Why Event Horizon Is One Of The Best (And Scariest) Sci-Fi Horror Movies Ever Made Paramount Pictures By Erin Brady/Aug. 15, 2022 2:00 pm EST Space horror is a weird subgenre to pull off effectively. Sure, many might think that it’s easy to just place a typical horror movie, conventions and all, into a space setting — but it’s a lot more complex than that. If you are going to make a horror movie set in space, you are going to have to embrace the nothingness and existentialism that the setting offers; after all, as “Alien” first said back in 1979, in space, no one can hear you scream....

What will our own oceans look like in 150 years? If that’s not a concern, today in 2022, rising water temperatures are endangering marine life, damaging coral reefs, and eroding entire ecosystems. Rising sea levels will also continue to become a problem in years to come....

When I saw the announcement that “WALL-E” was heading to the Criterion Collection, it was both delightful as a film fan but also surprising. How did this partnership come about?

Brian De Palma Doesn’t Think It’s Very Fair To Compare Him To Alfred Hitchcock Criterion By Joe Roberts/Nov. 20, 2022 7:00 pm EST Brian De Palma has a reputation as a “Hitchcock conversationalist.” Depending on who you talk to, the director has either stolen his entire directorial style, borrowed his cinematic language, or evolved his own style based loosely on the teachings of his celebrated predecessor. Either way, Brian De Palma really likes Hitchcock and everyone noticed a long time ago....

Under the sea Disney Ariel served as an entire generation’s introduction to Disney princesses, and getting to play that character in live-action must be a powerful thing. Her comments here don’t give us much of a clue about what we’re going to see in the new version, how it might change from the animated film, or how director Rob Marshall (“Mary Poppins Returns”) is going to handle the underwater visuals, but with CGI and Disney’s money, I have a feeling it’s going to be cool....

In The Sandman S Bonus Episode The Netflix Series Finally Feels Inspired

In The Sandman’s Bonus Episode, The Netflix Series Finally Feels Inspired Netflix By Hoai-Tran Bui/Aug. 22, 2022 5:00 pm EST Netflix’s “The Sandman” adaptation was, against all odds, good. In fact, it might still be the closest thing to a great Neil Gaiman adaptation, if it can only navigate the stumbling blocks of a stilted supporting cast, an awkward leading man, and an even more awkward wardrobe. But Netflix’s “The Sandman” is, after all, limited by reality and those limits could sadly be felt when comparing it to the surreal, imagination-fueling pages of Gaiman’s original graphic novels....
