What We Do In The Shadows Renewed For Seasons 5 And 6 FX By Jeff Ewing/June 6, 2022 2:50 pm EST Fans of the beloved, Emmy-nominated Staten Island vampire mockumentary series “What We Do In The Shadows” have a lot to celebrate in advance of its July 12, 2022 Season 4 premiere. The life of these immortal bloodsuckers (plus one energy sponge) has been further prolonged, as it was announced today that the heads at FX have wisely already greenlit seasons 5 and 6 of the innovative series....

The galaxy far, far away was just out of reach Disney+ During an interview with Akiva Schaffer, we asked about a possible “Star Wars” gag that was intended to be in “Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers.” Initially, Schaffer (seen above making a cameo in the movie) was reluctant to talk about any of the many characters that they weren’t able to secure for the movie, because he’s holding out hope that it might be possible in a potential sequel....

Two of a Kind RLJE Films I love speculative science. I’m also very glad that I won’t be around to see anything like this. Cloning your dog is one thing, and this is quite another. Clones are a horrifying prospect, despite the benefits they may bring. (Also despite my constant wishing for one when my workload overwhelms me.) The idea reminds me of the 2010 film “Never Let Me Go” with Keira Knightly, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield....

HBO Max’s Batgirl Movie Has Cast Ivory Aquino As Alysia Yeoh DC Comics By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 24, 2022 7:49 pm EST In an exclusive newsbreak, Deadline has announced that the upcoming “Batgirl” movie has added Ivory Aquino (“When We Rise,” “Lingua Franca”) to the cast, and those who speculated the character calling for “Alanna” was actually for the comic book character Alysia Yeoh have been proven correct. Aquino joins the cast which includes Leslie Grace (“In the Heights”), J....

How Beavis And Butt-Head Inspired One Of Office Space’s Most Famous Scenes ViacomCBS By Witney Seibold/Dec. 20, 2021 10:47 am EST Hey, Millennials! If you think that you’re constantly taking it on the chin from Boomers — being accused of killing the golf industry, or spending too much money on avocado toast — you are getting a fraction of what they scooped onto Generation X. If Millennials are accused of narcissism, phone overuse, and bad spending habits, Gen-X was seen as a generation of shiftless, idiot slackers with no ambition....

If You Watch Just One Love Death + Robots Short, Make It Jibaro Netflix By Danielle Ryan/May 20, 2022 1:30 pm EST “Love Death + Robots” is a beautiful experiment in short-form storytelling, allowing each short to explore its ideas as fully as possible. Over three seasons, the shorts have been incredible tech displays, hilarious satires, heart-pounding works of art, and more. In season 1, Alberto Mielgo’s “The Witness” showed viewers the kind of rich storytelling that could be done with minimal dialogue and a combination of animation techniques....

Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power First Look: Back To Middle-Earth First, we now have official confirmation of previous reports that actor Morfydd Clark will indeed be portraying the immortal Galadriel, though roughly two thousand years younger than the version of the character we saw in both “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit.” In a notable difference from the calm and serene queen who merely aids our heroes on their quest at a crucial juncture, this Galadriel takes a far more active role in the events....

New Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore Featurette Is All About Hogwarts, Have You Heard Of It? Warner Bros. By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 23, 2022 9:22 am EST Yes, Potterheads, now we can all return to the magic of Hogwarts, courtesy of the latest, exclusive featurette dropped for the highly-anticipated “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” While “Fantastic Beasts” also takes place in the Wizarding World, and allowed for fans of the franchise to delve deeper into the fresh storyline of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and co....

One Of Get Out’s Most Chilling Scenes Is Straight Out Of Jordan Peele’s Nightmares Universal Pictures By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/April 15, 2022 2:56 pm EST Five years after its initial release date, director and screenwriter Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” remains a prominent topic of conversation among horror fans, film critics, and anyone who likes good movies. While “Get Out” has no shortage of memorable imagery, one of the film’s most startling scenes is the party scene, in which the character Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is subject to uncomfortable questions, staring, and hostility from the overwhelmingly white party guests....

Rust Tragedy Inspires New Gun Safety Bill For Performers Working In New Mexico Sam Wasson/Getty Images By Anya Stanley/Feb. 2, 2022 10:48 am EST More changes are on the horizon in the wake of the deadly shooting accident that occurred on the set of “Rust” in October of last year. Following the incident at Bonanza Creek Ranch, in which actor Alec Baldwin accidentally discharged a set weapon containing a live round that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the injury of director Joel Souza, calls have poured in for an industry-wide ban on real guns or live ammunition on film sets....

Spiderhead Review: An Odd Blend Of Philosophical Sci-Fi, Psychological Thriller, And Dystopian Satire Netflix By Sarah Milner/June 13, 2022 10:00 am EST Netflix has been reserved in promoting their sci-fi thriller “Spiderhead,” and after watching the movie, I understand why. Starring Chris Hemsworth in a decidedly not heroic role, the movie is an odd blend of philosophical science-fiction, psychological thriller, and dystopian satire. This is a heady mix that feels designed by director Joseph Kosinski to pursue cult classic status, but whether or not the film will actually succeed in this aim remains to be seen....

Swiss Army Man’s Script Was Enough To Make Daniel Radcliffe Take A Leap Of Faith A24 By Matthew Bilodeau/June 10, 2022 5:59 pm EST If there’s an upside to actors making their name under the banner of a successful franchise, it’s that once they’re done, they’ve usually secured enough of a payday that they can be more selective about the projects they choose. Robert Pattinson (“Good Time”) and Kristen Stewart (“Crimes of the Future”) have long escaped the shadow of “Twilight,” and are now starring in some of the best films of any given year....

The Best Action Scene In Moon Knight Episode 1 Withholds The Mayhem Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 30, 2022 11:56 am EST Warning: major spoilers for episode 1 of “Moon Knight.” In the series premiere of “Moon Knight,” entitled “The Goldfish Problem,” is packed with a string of tense sequences, hurtling viewers head-first into the heart of the mystery. Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) lives out a lonesome, secluded existence, struggling to arrive at his museum job on time without falling asleep on the way there due to what seems to be a peculiar sleeping disorder....

The Child’s Play Reboot Wasn’t Actually Mark Hamill’s First Time Voicing Chucky United Artists By Witney Seibold/April 4, 2022 4:30 pm EST The “Child’s Play” series is currently enjoying a robust renaissance, with both a well-received 2021 TV series, “Chucky” — which has won accolades for its queer representation – and a “Child’s Play” remake in 2019, which had the good taste to invent a new mythology for the central killer doll....

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Songwriters Reveal The Emotional Truth Beneath Shy Baldwin’s Latest Hit Prime Video By Shania Russell/March 9, 2022 3:05 pm EST The knowledge that “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” invented soulful crooner Shy Baldwin will haunt me until the end of time. Between the stage presence of Leroy McClain and the powerful vocals of Darius de Haas, it’s hard to believe that Shy is merely an amalgamation of similar sultry-voiced ’60s pop stars....

Earning the sword Focus Features The night after a vicious raid, Amleth meets a Seeress (a chilling turn from Björk), who informs him that his lifelong quest for revenge will soon take shape. Amleth blends in with a group of slaves headed to his uncle Fjölnir’s land, bringing him face-to-face with the man he swears to bring down countless years after he murdered Amleth’s father. Amleth is hungry for vengeance, but he lacks any sort of weapon to aid in his quest....

The Real-Life Mobster Who Inspired The Sopranos HBO By Ryan Leston/March 23, 2022 11:13 am EST Landmark American crime drama “The Sopranos” is renowned for its authenticity. The story of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) tackling his mental health issues while balancing family life and his duties as a mob boss made for some of the most gripping television of all time. Often thought to be one of the greatest TV shows ever made, it’s obvious that “The Sopranos” is grounded in reality....

The Reason Matt Damon Agreed To Cameo In EuroTrip DreamWorks By Travis Yates/Feb. 24, 2022 5:03 pm EST Sandwiched in-between mega-hits “The Bourne Identity” and “Ocean’s Eleven” and their sequels, Matt Damon made an oft-forgotten, highly curious cameo in a teen sex comedy. The 2004 film “EuroTrip” came at the height of the popularity of millennial teen comedies in the early 2000s that included “American Pie” and “Mean Girls.” In “EuroTrip,” high school angst overcomes Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) when he is unceremoniously dumped by his girlfriend on the night of their high school graduation, leading him and his best friend Cooper (Jacob Pitts) to Europe in search of his pen pal crush....

Why Girlboss was great Netflix Has the initial hate subsided enough for me to make the case that “Girlboss” is sorely underrated? I suppose we’ll find out. But certainly this is one Netflix show that I’ve found myself returning to over and over again. “Girlboss” is perfect comfort TV. It’s funny in that “Gilmore Girls,” mile-a-minute quips, larger-than-life characters sort of way. It’s major nostalgia-bait for those who entered the adult world in the mid-2000s....

Where The Matrix Resurrections Fits Into The Series Timeline Warner Bros. By Miyako Pleines/Jan. 3, 2022 11:59 am EST For those new to “The Matrix” franchise or jumping in again for the first time in nearly two decades, it can be daunting to try and piece together all the different parts of the story. First, there are the trilogy of films to consider, which include “The Matrix,” “The Matrix Reloaded,” “The Matrix Revolutions,” and now “The Matrix Resurrections” is picking up where the series left off....
