One Of Steven Spielberg’s Few Regrets Is Not Directing This Tom Hanks Film Sony By Jeremy Smith/Sept. 2, 2022 5:11 pm EST Nothing screams “must-see” quite like a new Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks collaboration. They’re the dream duo of modern American cinema, the closest thing we have to a Frank Capra-James Stewart tandem. They’ve made five films together, and all but one (“The Terminal”) are legitimately great. The only baffling element of their creative partnership is that it didn’t happen sooner....

The FX series follows the titular Reservation Dogs, a crew of four Indigenous teenagers living on a reservation in rural Oklahoma, as they try to navigate growing up Native in the wake of losing their fifth member, Daniel (Dalton Cramer), to suicide....

Stephanie Beatriz Stood Up To A Disrespectful Guest Star On The Set Of Brooklyn Nine-Nine NBC By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Sept. 29, 2022 9:50 am EST Stephanie Beatriz is just as much of a badass as her leather-clad no-nonsense “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” character Rosa Diaz. The actress is well-known for being the 99 Precinct’s coolest employee — she’s scary, smart, and secretive, and no one knows much about her. Most of Rosa’s colleagues are frightened to get on her wrong side because she immediately instills fear in everyone she interacts with....

Blood Freak Variety Films What happens when a Vietnam veteran becomes accidently addicted to marijuana after sexy young coeds seduce him, decides to taste-test chemically-enhanced turkeys to support his habit, and then dies and is resurrected as a murderous psychopath with the body of a man and head of a bird? To find out, look no further than Brad Grinter’s “Blood Freak,” a lowbrow, exploitative drive-in effort full of poultry heads run amok....

The Chestburster Scene In Alien’s Script Convinced Ridley Scott To Hop In The Director’s Chair By Matt Rainis/Sept. 23, 2022 11:20 am EST After the smashing 1977 success of “Star Wars,” Hollywood executives realized the commercial potential of the science fiction genre. This afforded opportunities to the few writers who had science fiction scripts ready, some of whom had had trouble getting their movies made before the new sci-fi craze. This included Dan O’Bannon’s script for “Alien,” which studios finally took seriously after George Lucas’ worldwide phenomenon took off....

The Hilariously Bad Karate Kid And Rocky Crossover We Never Got To See Columbia Pictures By Matt Rainis/Oct. 13, 2022 3:33 pm EST There’s a certain satisfaction that comes from movie crossovers that can’t be achieved from any other means. It’s the same part of a person’s mind that fuels the classic “who would win in a fight” playground arguments, where kids argue whether Superman or Goku would win in a fight with the same fervor as members of a congressional body debating laws....

The Wendell And Wild Crew Had To Pull Off A ‘Puppet Rescue’ To Save Their Movie From A Fire [Set Visit] Netflix By Jacob Hall/Aug. 30, 2022 10:00 am EST Director Henry Selick is the first to admit that making stop-motion animated movies is not easy. “Making movies this way, it’s insane. Let’s admit it,” the director told us during a visit to the set of his new movie, “Wendell and Wild” in April 2022....

There Was More To Kathy Bates’ Misery Character Than The Audience Saw On Screen Columbia Pictures By Anya Stanley/Aug. 10, 2022 6:46 pm EST “Misery” was Kathy Bates’ first big film. Rob Reiner’s adaptation of the hit Stephen King novel came in 1990, early on in Bates’ five-decade career. “Misery” would precede “Fried Green Tomatoes,” King adaptation “Dolores Claiborne,” “Titanic,” and other films she’d become known for; arguably, her recent five-year run (in various roles) on Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s “American Horror Story” series has become the genre work she’s best known for....

Things Got ‘Spooky’ For Jeremy Renner After Playing Jeffery Dahmer Peninsula Films By Matt Rainis/Oct. 11, 2022 2:10 pm EST “Dahmer” was one of Jeremy Renner’s breakout roles. Early in an actor’s career, it typically benefits them to take whatever roles they can get. Knowing this, the actor now known for playing Hawkeye (“Avengers” not “MAS*H”) took the role of Dahmer without even knowing who he was, which likely resulted in a very unsettling realization when Renner eventually sat down to actually read the script....

Thor: Love And Thunder Scores $29 Million In Thursday Previews, Heading For $150 Million Opening Marvel Studios By Ryan Scott/July 8, 2022 1:55 pm EST It simply wouldn’t feel like summer without a Marvel movie making a whole bunch of money at the box office. As luck would have it, “Thor: Love and Thunder” has arrived to do exactly that. Director Taika Waititi returns to the MCU following his work on “Thor: Ragnarok,” and his latest comic book movie effort is already off to a great start....

Why Daredevil: Born Again Will Be ‘Season 1, Not Season 4,’ According To Charlie Cox Marvel Studios By Lyvie Scott/Sept. 12, 2022 12:03 pm EST “Daredevil” fans breathed a collective sigh of relief when Marvel Studios announced that the hero would soon make his debut in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. In the world of the MCU, absolutely nothing is certain. That’s probably why the forthcoming series “Daredevil: Born Again” feels almost too good to be true — especially after Netflix’s Marvel shows were cancelled and phased off that platform....

15 Board Games That Would Actually Make Great Movies Catan GmbH By Larry Fried/Sept. 20, 2022 5:27 pm EST Ever since Universal and Hasbro made a disastrous first impression with “Battleship,” film fans have been quick to shoot down the notion that a board game could work as a movie. However, in an age where studios are desperate for movies with some kind of brand recognition, we’ve seen a resurgence in attempts....

When Will My Hero Academia Season 6 Be Released? NTV Recently, there hasn’t been an anime series as popular as “My Hero Academia,” so it’s only fair for fans to feel impatient about the new season. While we have a teaser that tells us more about the story we are looking forward to, it’s not much if there isn’t a premiere date accompanying it! The creators have kept the new season a secret so far, and we know nothing, excluding the fact that the series is getting a season 6, and our beloved superheroes will be back shortly....

For The Love Of Andor, Stop Comparing Every Star Wars Relationship To Pride & Prejudice Lucasfilm By Lyvie Scott/Nov. 3, 2022 12:00 pm EST It’s a truth universally acknowledged that romantic prospects in the “Star Wars” galaxy are dismally few and far between. Of course, there are some bright spots, and some relationships are even given the space to develop in healthy, happy ways. “Andor” alone has introduced an impressive handful of potential relationships to the franchise....

Here’s When You Can Watch Lightyear At Home Pixar By Rafael Motamayor/July 19, 2022 2:13 pm EST Are you one of the handful of people that actually went to see “Lightyear” and want to watch it again at home? Or are you one of the millions and millions of people who didn’t go to theaters and led to the film bombing hard at the box office? Either way, good news! You will soon be able to experience the film starring Buzz Lightyear the movie character played by a real man that inspired Buzz Lightyear the animated character from a cheap TV cartoon spin-off that inspired Buzz Lightyear the action figure that a young Andy was obsessed with back in 1995 — even if for some reason he was fine with not having a Nox toy....

How Andor Episode 8 Draws More Parallels To Real World Conflicts And Controversies Disney+/Lucasfilm By Sandy Schaefer/Oct. 26, 2022 12:07 pm EST This post contains spoilers for episode 8 of “Andor.” The heist on Aldhani is having ripple effects on “Andor,” and even the wealthiest individuals in the “Star Wars” universe are starting to take notice. After last week’s episode ended with Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) being sentenced to six years in prison for little more than looking over his shoulder, the show’s eighth episode, “Narkina 5,” follows the Rebel-in-the-making as he’s taken to one of several Imperial facilities on the titular world....

I Am Legend Showcases The Folly Of Not Using The Greatest Horror Ending Of All Time Warner Bros. By Michael Boyle/July 7, 2022 5:03 pm EST A lot of the best horror movies of all time were ones that were deeply unfaithful to the book. 2007’s “The Mist” completely changed the ending to Stephen King’s novella, going for a shocking, gut-wrenching plot twist rather than the source material’s more hopeful, ambiguous conclusion....
