The One Midsommar Scene That Hit Fans The Hardest A24 By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 3, 2022 11:53 am EST Ari Aster blew audiences away with his feature debut “Hereditary,” a deeply horrific examination of inherited trauma, familial secrets, and unexplainable phenomenon following a series of deaths.

Chrissy gets crushed Netflix The season premiere episode, “The Hellfire Club,” ends with a brutal, stakes-raising cliffhanger that takes the show to gnarlier territory than it’s ever explored before.

While Eddie scrambles to find the drugs, Chrissy falls into yet another vision, but this one has dire consequences....
Tony Scott’s Wallet Got A Workout Behind The Scenes Of Top Gun Paramount By Bill Bria/May 18, 2022 12:12 pm EST The 1980s have become coalesced in America’s cultural memory as a decade of excess above all else. Sure, the era produced a number of notably kooky, how-did-that-ever-happen trends in fashion, music, and pop culture, but permeating just about everything is the sense of largesse, which in turn has helped the decade’s style remain so iconic....
Ultraman Season 2 Promo: Get To Know The New Character, Alien Wadoran Maya Netflix By Joshua Meyer/March 28, 2022 9:59 pm EST It’s spring in Japan and the cherry blossoms are blooming, as is Netflix’s ever-growing anime slate, which is, of course, accessible to subscribers worldwide. Season 2 of “Ultraman,” which puts an anime spin on the original tokusatsu (literally “special effects”) hero, is bearing down on us in mid-April. In the meantime, Netflix has released a fresh promo introducing viewers to the new blue-skinned character Alien Wadoran Maya, who will make her debut in “Ultraman” season 2....
Vikings: Valhalla Trailer: Everyone’s Out For Blood In The Netflix Spin-Off Series Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Jan. 18, 2022 1:13 pm EST Vikings are so in these days, people. Not only has indie film fan favorite (say that five times fast) Robert Eggers chosen this epic subject for his next film, “The Northman,” Netflix is always attempting to capitalize on even the faintest whiff of a trend, which likely explains their interest in reviving the History Channel “Vikings” series with a brand-new spin-off series....
Where We Might See Kate Bishop Next After Hawkeye Season 1 Disney+ By Shania Russell/Dec. 22, 2021 1:59 pm EST This post contains SPOILERS for the first season of “Hawkeye.” Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) came into our lives in the most badass fashion possible and unsurprisingly kept her chaotic streak going in the first season finale of “Hawkeye.” A newcomer to the work of superheroics, Kate began her journey by destroying a university clock tower with her very accurate and precise archery skills....
Where are your manors? Warner Bros In the official behind-the scenes illustrated tie-in book by James Field, the author spoke to both Reeves and Chinlund about the decision to go with Bruce living in Wayne Tower versus the more common Wayne Manor. First, the director shares that they were inspired by the urban dwellings of wealthy families like the Rockefellers or the Vanderbilts and the recognizable skyscrapers of major cities when designing their tower....
‘It was a distortion’ Universal Pictures For as much as “U-571” draws (very loosely) from the real-life history of WWII, it was also partly inspired by co-writer David Ayer’s experiences serving on a U.S. Navy submarine prior to the start of his filmmaking career. Speaking to BBC Radio 4 in 2006, Ayer expressed his regret about the movie’s revisionist history, calling it “a distortion… a mercenary decision to create this parallel history in order to drive the movie for an American audience....
X Spoiler Review: Slasher Tropes Interrupt A More Interesting Conversation A24 By Witney Seibold/March 21, 2022 4:51 pm EST In his 2009 film “The House of the Devil,” writer/director Ti West took a lot of aesthetic and pacing cues from Satanic Panic movies of the 1970s to create a thriller about a babysitter hired to watch a mysterious, attic-lurking grandmother who may or may not be there. The film was set in the early 1980s, and West, using only camera technology that would have been available at that time, gave “Devil” an eerie sense of historical authenticity, opening up both favorable comparisons to beloved films like “The Amityville Horror” and “Rosemary’s Baby,” and a good deal of critical analysis as to what the above mentioned Satanic Panic films meant from a sociological standpoint....

It’s been over six years since Walt Disney Animation released “Zootopia,” the animated buddy-cop comedy about a mammal metropolis. In 2016, audiences were introduced to the fiercely optimistic Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), the first rabbit to join Zootopia’s police force and certainly the first to uncover a city-wide conspiracy with the help of her wily fox con-artist partner, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman)....
Adrien Brody Has Boarded Rian Johnson’s Peacock Series Poker Face HBO By Sandy Schaefer/April 26, 2022 1:43 pm EST It seems “Poker Face” is on its way to rivaling Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” for star-studded ensembles.

An Early Twilight Script Had Bella Escaping The FBI On A Jet Ski EuropaCorp/Summit Entertainment By Shania Russell/Jan. 13, 2022 2:29 pm EST When we hear the title “Twilight,” our minds immediately drift into the happy-place world of blue hues, pacific northwest landscapes, slurpy cups full of blood, shirtless sparkly torsos, and… Ahem. Okay, maybe that’s just me. But that’s neither here nor there. The important takeaway is that in the many years of its cinematic existence, the “Twilight” saga has seared a certain impression into our brains....
Attack On Titan Final Season Makes Villains Of Everyone In Emotionally Damaging ‘Traitor’ Studio MAPPA By Rafael Motamayor/March 14, 2022 5:00 pm EST After a couple of slower, more meditative episodes, “Attack on Titan” is back in action.

Raiff’s first feature, “Shithouse,” won the top prize at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, and his sophomore effort is another crowd-pleaser which establishes him as a welcome voice on the indie scene....

Fire Island Review: Jane Austen’s Swoon-Worthy Romance Gets A Sizzling Summer Update Hulu By Shania Russell/June 2, 2022 4:00 pm EST “Fire Island” begins with a cliche, because the classics are sacred — especially when penned by a cultural queen. Joel Kim Booster’s Noah is keyed into his Austentanian roots as soon as the film begins, letting the oft-quoted opening lines of “Pride and Prejudice” roll off his tongue: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife....

Mike Young returns Newmarket “Neighbours” has seen moments of tremendous popularity throughout its lengthy run, but lost viewership in recent years before finally being canceled. For years, “Home and Away” was among the stiffest competition in the Aussie soap game, and Pearce appeared there, too, in 1991. The actor has since gone on to perform in a wide variety of great projects, from the underrated cannibal Western “Ravenous,” to Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” to, most recently, HBO’s hit crime drama “Mare of Easttown....
