How Tobey Maguire And The Spider-Man Crew Pulled Off That Famous Lunchroom Scene Sony Pictures By Miyako Pleines/Feb. 25, 2022 11:46 am EST Listen, we all have our favorite Spider-Man. For many, the obvious answer (and probably the most popular one) is Tom Holland. He’s got everything Spidey needs: the sass, the quick wit, the cute but still believably nerdy thing. He danced to Rhianna that one time. Zendaya loves him....

Is Thor: Love And Thunder A Road Trip Comedy With Korg And Thor? Marvel Studios By Ryan Scott/April 18, 2022 1:07 pm EST While Marvel made people wait for it longer than anyone expected as the movie is coming out in just a few months, the first trailer for “Thor: Love and Thunder” has arrived. Much about this movie has remained tightly under wraps, save for what has been revealed through photo leaks and casting news....

Men Early Buzz: Alex Garland’s Latest Is A Surreal, Unsettling, And Surprisingly Funny Frightfest A24 By Jeremy Mathai/May 2, 2022 12:49 pm EST Do you have a moment to talk about the good news of our lord and savior Alex Garland? The masterful director behind such modern classics as “Ex Machina” and “Annihilation” (as well as the writer for other brilliant movies like “28 Days Later…,” “Sunshine,” and “Dredd”) is back with his latest horrifying original film: “Men....

Naomie Harris Hopes No Time To Die Isn’t Her Last Time Playing Eve Moneypenny [Interview] MGM By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 20, 2021 10:45 am EST Naomie Harris is one of the few people who have gotten the best of James Bond. Granted, she wasn’t trying to take out 007 while in the field as Eve Moneypenny in “Skyfall,” but her misfired bullet still took the iconic secret agent out of action for a little while....

The scene in question The scene in question was, in fact, a scene from the beginning of the film wherein Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) was proposing that Dr. Sattler (Laura Dern) and Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) visit a mysterious, privately owned, dinosaur-related island dig that he personally owned to get their feedback on his work and approve of the site’s safety. In the scene, Hammond popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate their potential employment, happy to gain a stamp of approval from a paleobotanist and a paleontologist....

Why It’s Essential Viewing First of all, you put Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman together in a film and have them play witches, and seriously what else do you want from life? Add in a scene where the aunts and the nieces dance while drunk and it’s just perfection. (The actors reportedly all got drunk for real during while shooting that scene.) There is something really wonderful about light magic. We’re not talking wizard-level magic here....

The One Doctor Who Scene Steven Moffat Wishes He Had Scrapped BBC By Michael Boyle/July 1, 2022 2:40 pm EST Everyone’s got their favorite era of “Doctor Who,” and the era with Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor and Karen Gillan’s Amy Pond is a popular one. It was also the first period of the show where Steven Moffat had taken over as showrunner. His debut season is often considered one of the strongest in the revival “Doctor Who’s” run, but there’s also one moment early on that has rubbed viewers the wrong way: the ending to “Flesh and Stone....

The Revolution Is Starting To Get Real In Outlander’s Give Me Liberty Starz By Vanessa Armstrong/April 3, 2022 10:00 pm EST The revolution is here, Sassenachs! Well, kinda. This season’s fifth episode of “Outlander” has us spend time out of the inter-settler drama happening at Fraser’s Ridge and getting into the sticky political machinations of the upcoming American Revolution, especially for the one and only Jamie Fraser. This episode has more than just the Scottish Jacobites splitting over what side of the rebellion they should back....

The Witcher Behind-The-Scenes Promo Explores Ciri’s Path To Becoming A Warrior Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 28, 2021 11:23 am EST Who among us doesn’t want to become a witcher? It’s maybe not the safest, most glamorous, or most well-paying job out there, but someone has to do it. To this point in Netflix’s hit series, “The Witcher,” Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia has shouldered much of the burden on his own....

Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Doesn’t Care For The Predator Sequels 20th Century Studios By Matthew Bilodeau/May 31, 2022 10:35 am EST Of the movie monsters that ended up spawning their own film series, I think it’s pretty interesting how the Predator seems to be stuck in this kind of limbo where it fluctuates between whether it wants to recapture the spirit of the original film (“Predators”) or go in a completely different direction (“The Predator”)....

A Quiet Place Prequel Is The Best Possible Move For The Franchise (For Now) Paramount Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/May 11, 2022 11:59 am EST If you were to ask horror fans to list their favorite movie theater experiences in the last five years, a number of them would probably point to 2017’s “A Quiet Place” as a memorable highlight. Directed by and also starring John Krasinski, the very premise of the sci-fi horror film is perfect for watching with a crowd....

How Welles got the directing job Universal Pictures Originally, Universal only wanted Welles to play the film’s villain, corrupt police captain Hank Quinlan. Luckily for Welles, he had an advocate: Charlton Heston, who starred in “Touch of Evil” as Mexican prosecutor Ramon Vargas (yeah, even great films can have undeniable faults). As Heston recounted in his autobiography, “In the Arena”: “We’ve got Orson Welles to play the heavy, though. Now I paused....

Downton Abbey: A New Era Trailer: Old Favorites Return In A Fancy New Sequel Focus Features By Ryan Scott/May 18, 2022 1:43 pm EST “Downton Abbey” has endured in the pop culture landscape for well over a decade now, and has managed to keep itself relevant years after the show went off the air in no small part to the movie that was released in 2019. Well, now we’re getting a sequel in the form of “Downton Abbey: A New Era” that is set to hit theaters this weekend, and the folks at Focus Features have released a new trailer to alert fans to that fact....

Elite Season 5 Date Announced Via A Hypnotic European Dance Party MATÍAS URIS/NETFLIX By Valerie Ettenhofer/March 14, 2022 1:56 pm EST This party just won’t stop: Netflix’s teen drama “Elite” will be back soon for a fifth season. The announcement comes via a playful, party-themed YouTube teaser that reveals the show’s April 8 return date. “Elite” began in 2018 as a soapy murder mystery with themes of wealth inequality. Since then, the show has stretched out for four seasons of continued mysteries and surprisingly engrossing teen drama — think a mix of “The O....

Every Star Wars Easter Egg You May Have Missed In The Book Of Boba Fett Chapter 2 Disney+ By Jenna Busch/Jan. 5, 2022 6:02 pm EST Episode 2 of “The Book of Boba Fett” is an interesting one. I’m still not sure how this guy is a crime lord but also a really awesome guy, or that we needed this show after “The Mandalorian,” but here we are. At least in the second episode, the fighting has gone from “Xena: Warrior Princess” to something resembling real action....

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore Edited To Remove LGBTQ Dialogue In China Warner Bros By Shania Russell/April 12, 2022 11:24 am EST “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” is days away from hitting theaters in the US and whisking audiences back to the whimsical yet war-torn wizarding world. The promise of familiar faces and enchantments is more than enough to inspire excitement, but then there’s the chance to delve into a beloved character that the prior “Harry Potter” movies portrayed as a mystery: Albus Dumbledore....
