Watch the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials teaser trailer This actually isn’t the first time that the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble’s paths have crossed since their initial parting; the two-part special “The End of Time” also saw Donna have a close brush with her brain exploding, though she was saved by a defense mechanism that caused her to lose consciousness when she began to remember the Doctor. Donna was happily married at the end of that special, but this teaser trailer reveals that she continues to be haunted by the memories that are locked away from her....

How An Unassuming Scene In All About Eve Became A Source Of Controversy In the opening scene of “All About Eve,” as theater critic Addison DeWitt (George Sanders) gives his voice-over at an awards dinner, more than one character sits smoking. Broadway star Margo Channing (Bette Davis) joins DeWitt in lighting up a cigarette indoors, and it’s not the last time we’ll see her doing that in the movie, as she deals with the machinations of another careerist actor named Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter)....

Playing a superhero while not actually being one Disney+ Hemsworth has been playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for well over a decade at this point. When he started, he was in his mid-20s, a time when it is physically easier (though still not easy) to get in god-like shape. “Like” being the important part there. But as Hemsworth approaches 40, it gets tougher, and the body succumbs to time on some level....

The hats Disney Platform Distribution In “Andor’s” Season 1 finale, Syril Karn rejoins his former Pre-Mor sergeant. Linus Mosk still refers to the disgraced Karn as “sir,” likely because he continues to honor the motivations behind his actions on Ferrix. The two return as civilians, and just before they land, Mosk holds out his hat to Karn, who silently exchanges it for his own. Nothing was said regarding this, and Mosk ends the bloody day without any hat at all....

Nope Early Buzz: Jordan Peele’s Latest Is Bold, Ambitious, And Not What You Expect Universal Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/July 19, 2022 10:05 am EST Up until last night, the vast majority of movie fans have remained completely in the dark as to what Jordan Peele’s upcoming “Nope” is actually about (we do know what it’s not about, at least!) and whether it could possibly measure up to the high expectations that the acclaimed director has established for himself only two movies into his filmmaking career....

Shot on a shoestring budget in stark black and white, the original “Clerks” was part of the new school of American indie cinema during the ’90s, a fully self-aware decade that wasn’t afraid to hold up a pop culture mirror to comment on a new breed of kids that had zero motivation and A LOT of attitude....

Holiday kidnapping Marvel Studios Ever since the first “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Bacon has been upheld as a screen hero for Quill, who spins the story of “Footloose” into a tale of galaxy-spanning bravery. I love how Mantis and Drax take Quill’s account as historical fact, and promptly rush down to Earth to collect their yuletide bounty. After posing for pictures and having a grand time at a gay bar, the pair finally arrive at the actor’s lavish Beverly Hills home....

The Lord Of The Rings Almost Didn’t Feature Its Famous Howard Shore Score New Line Cinema By Sandy Schaefer/Sept. 2, 2022 10:35 am EST Great film scores are inseparable from the movies they were made for. Who can think of “Jaws” without John Williams’ famously dread-inducing two-note theme springing to mind? Or imagine “Psycho” absent Bernard Herrmann’s screeching violin? And what better way to get yourself hyped up to perform even the most unremarkable of tasks than by listening to Howard Shore’s grandiose leitmotifs for the “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy?...
