All The Clerks III Cameos Ranked Lionsgate By Danielle Ryan/Sept. 17, 2022 2:09 pm EST Filmmaker Kevin Smith started his career by making a movie with his friends, and honestly, nothing’s really changed. The prolific writer and director recently released his goodbye to the View Askewniverse, “Clerks III,” and pulled out all of the stops bringing his famous (and not-so-famous) friends together for one last hurrah. There are so many cameos in “Clerks III” that it’s almost difficult to determine what’s a cameo and what’s simply someone reprising a role from one of the other Askewniverse films, but that’s honestly part of the fun....

Andor Episode 4 Stages A Star Wars Heist Of Galactic Proportions Lucasfilm By Bryan Young/Sept. 28, 2022 4:00 am EST There will be spoilers for “Andor” Episode IV. The fourth episode of “Andor” brings us a brand new arc. It sees Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) dropping Cassian Andor off on a remote world where he is an untrusted last-minute addition to a heist of galactic proportions. As Cassian gets settled in with the group of partisans planning the job, Luthen heads back to Coruscant where it’s revealed he’s leading at least a double life and involved in sedition against the Empire with senators like Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly)....

A strange pick Sony Pictures Releasing Christian Bale has said some weird stuff about movies before, including saying one of his main inspirations as an actor was Mr. Bean. But such an out-of-left-field choice for his favorite film is both confounding and hilarious. “Beverly Hills Ninja,” the last film Chris Farley starred in before his tragic death in 1997, is the classic tale of an orphan raised by a gang of ninjas who solves a murder mystery....

Dickie in The Sopranos HBO During “The Sopranos,” Dickie is long dead — “Many Saints” reveals he died in 1973. He’s infrequently mentioned, first in “Big Girls Don’t Cry” when Christopher takes an acting class and his daddy issues flare up, but Dickie never appears in flashbacks. The closest thing is a photo of him with a young Christopher. The most important role Dickie plays is in the season 4 premiere, “For All Debts Public and Private....

Did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Just Set Up Marvel’s Thunderbolts Movie? Marvel Studios By Ryan Scott/Nov. 14, 2022 2:00 pm EST Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe started by breaking new ground with “WandaVision,” the first live-action TV show that was properly connected to the movies (sorry, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” fans). But with the release of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Phase 4 is officially in the books with a movie that, among many other things, serves as a touching goodbye to Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa....

Watch the teaser for Doctor Who season 14 This is, as Eric Effiong would say, “Non-SENSE!” But such is the life of a Time Lord. The teaser sees Tennant grappling with identity issues, offers a glimpse of Donna’s return and Neil Patrick Harris’ villain, and ends with Gatwa’s Doctor demanding, “Someone tell me what the hell is going on here!” The “someone” to explain all of this will be none other than Russell T....

‘Groot ruined Christmas again!’ Marvel Studios In the scene, Rocket (voice of Bradley Cooper) and very good girl Cosmo the Spacedog (voice of Maria Bakalova) are decorating a Christmas tree. Where do they find a tree in space? Oh right! They have one! A young adult Groot (voice of Vin Diesel) is being covered in lights, garland, and a giant candy cane, with a light-up snowman on his arm/branch. Of course, Groot is still a little grumpy and shakes it all off onto the floor....

Margot at the Wedding (2007) Paramount Vantage Noah Baumbach’s worst film mistakes just how far he can push the bitterness contained within the types of bittersweet films he makes. “Margot at the Wedding” is an acrid, bleak look at miserable characters throwing highly intellectualized barbs at one another like only Baumbach’s characters can. As nuptials often do, they douse an already flammable situation between family members with gasoline, as the estranged titular writer ventures out from the city to her sister’s wedding on Long Island....

Everything Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Gets Right With The New Captain Kirk Paramount By Danielle Ryan/July 8, 2022 10:05 am EST This post contains spoilers for the season finale of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.” “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” re-introduced fans to an old favorite in the season 1 finale, showing us a new version of the young Captain James Tiberius Kirk.

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay’s Latest Project Is … A Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Flavor? Ben & Jerry’s By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 6, 2022 4:18 pm EST Do you know what the greatest thing about this industry is? You simply never know what you’re going to encounter on any given day. Uber-talented filmmaker Greta Gerwig making a “Barbie” movie? Sure, why not! A perfectly innocuous Sight and Sound poll inciting fierce debate and causing some in film circles to collectively melt down in spectacular fashion?...

‘It would be so elevated and so mind-blowing’ Warner Bros. Television I recently spoke with Diop about her experience making “Nanny,” the feature debut of writer-director Nikyatu Jusu. Diop and Jusu majorly hit it off on the set of the film, so much so that the two are already bouncing around ideas for a second collaboration: “Me and Nikyatu keep threatening to make Storm together, which is also a superhero. But with her doing it, it would be so elevated and so mind-blowing....

Night At The Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again: Release Date, Cast, And More For The Animated Disney+ Sequel Disney+ By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 4, 2022 7:10 am EST Few expected that Shawn Levy would strike franchise gold in 2006 when the first “Night at the Museum” was released, but the film based on the 1993 children’s book of the same name by Croatian illustrator Milan Trenc has since spawned two sequels, inspired a never-made theme park ride, and even got the LEGO treatment in 2020....

On-Set Chemistry Made It ‘Tough’ For Jamie Clayton To Terrify Her Hellraiser Co-Stars Disney By Anya Stanley/Sept. 22, 2022 2:48 pm EST David Bruckner’s feature adaptation of Clive Barker’s 1986 novella “The Hellbound Heart” brings forth a new Pinhead, the leatherbound nail-studded horror icon formerly popularized by Doug Bradley. Written by “The Night House” scribes Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski from a story developed with David S. Goyer, “Hellraiser” stays true to themes raised in Barker’s original 1987 adaptation while offering a new iteration of the soul-harvesting Pinhead, played by Jamie Clayton....

Patty Jenkins Finally Speaks About Wonder Woman 3 Cancellation: ‘I Never Walked Away’ Warner Bros. By Erin Brady/Dec. 13, 2022 8:53 pm EST When news broke last week that Patty Jenkins’ version of “Wonder Woman 3” would not be moving forward at DC Studios, a whirlwind of speculation began to brew over the cause and what this meant for the perpetually-in-flux franchise. When anonymous sources at The Wrap claimed that Jenkins left the project after receiving pushback from Warner Bros....

Sam Raimi And Barbarian EP Alex Lebovici Are Producing The New Horror-Thriller, Don’t Move 20th Century Studios By BJ Colangelo/Dec. 20, 2022 3:13 pm EST Today is a good day for sickos (like me, and probably you too) who love weird horror. The production company owned by the incomparable Sam Raimi (“The Evil Dead,” “Drag Me To Hell,” “Spider-Man”), Raimi Productions, is teaming up with Hammerstone Studios’ Alex Lebovici, the executive producer behind this year’s hit horror film, “Barbarian....

Soon You’ll Get To See Florence Pugh Play A Killer Sex Robot On Apple TV+ Warner Bros. Pictures By Shae Sennett/Oct. 6, 2022 9:17 am EST After watching Florence Pugh carry “Don’t Worry Darling” on her back, fans are wondering where they will be seeing the Oscar-nominated actress next. “Don’t Worry Darling” is Pugh’s first sci-fi film, but it definitely won’t be her last.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Might Deliver Something The MCU Never Could Sony By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 13, 2022 6:00 pm EST As everyone’s still recovering from the mayhem-filled spectacle of Sony’s newest “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” trailer, the ambitious sequel that hopes to recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle energy from the original “Into the Spider-Verse,” one can’t help but marvel at what both films (and counting) could potentially pull off in the years to come....

The movie: No Country for Old Men Miramax Let’s rewind the clocks a bit. The Coens were coming off 2004’s “The Ladykillers” which, all due respect, is probably still considered a low point for them. So, they set about doing their first-ever full-length adaptation of a novel (that would actually get made). Aside from being great directors, the two often would write scripts that didn’t get made. Such was the case with several attempted adaptations of other novels....

The ‘Secret Weapon’ Of The Spider-Verse Movies, According To Director Peter Ramsey Sony Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 26, 2022 11:29 am EST If you’ve ever wondered why so many superhero movies suddenly seem obsessed with the concept of multiverses these days, from “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” to the upcoming time-travel hijinks of “The Flash,” you can thank “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Although undeniably a staple of countless comic book storylines in decades past, both Marvel and DC included, it took until the breakthrough success of the animated film and its cavalcade of Spidey-themed characters for everyone to sit up and realize how much potential this mode of storytelling contains....

The Best Movies Starring The Stranger Things Cast You Need To See Netflix By Eric Langberg/Nov. 17, 2022 1:45 pm EST When “Stranger Things” launched in 2016, most of its cast were virtual unknowns. Aside from veteran stars like Winona Ryder, the show was the first leading role for many of its cast members, especially the younger kids. Part of what made the show work so well was the fact that all those young kids were supremely-talented....
