Halle Berry Would Like To Play Storm Or Catwoman Again, Please Warner Bros. Pictures By Jenna Busch/Feb. 3, 2022 6:25 pm EST Halle Berry is a very talented actress and I love her work. I’ll just say that right away to avoid any confusion. She’s an Emmy and Academy Award-winning actress, and she’s wonderful. That said, her luck with the superhero franchise hasn’t been good. Berry played the title role in the 2004 film “Catwoman,” which was so terrible that it may have kept another female-fronted superhero film from happening for years....

Bringing the Dillinger legend down to Earth Universal Given the wealth of material generated around the John Dillinger legend, which encapsulates such various historical elements like Prohibition, gangster violence, and the formation of the FBI, Michael Mann’s goal in making “Public Enemies” was to, in his words from a 2009 interview with the Guardian, “locate an audience intimately within the frame of [Dillinger’s] existence and to experience some of that rush” of being a folk hero who is also labeled public enemy No....
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Ending Explained: Breaking Out Of The System United Artists By Witney Seibold/Jan. 12, 2022 10:13 am EST Miloš Forman’s 1975 film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is a harrowing tale of rebellion vs. conformity, maturity vs. immaturity, and the true nature of how we measure and treat mental illness. It’s about the broken penal system, personal pain, trauma, authority, and freedom. It was viewed as a comedy upon its release: Vincent Canby of the New York Times called it a comedy that cannot support its tragic ending, and Roger Ebert, when he first reviewed the film, felt that the film’s overall tone was too light to tackle some of its larger themes....
Robert Eggers And Jarin Blaschke Took An Ambitious Approach To The Northman’s Action Scenes Focus Features By Jeremy Mathai/April 18, 2022 4:08 pm EST To say that Robert Eggers has taken a unique approach with each of his first three feature films so far would probably be an understatement. His impressive debut, 2015’s “The Witch,” zeroed in on a specific colonial settlement and left us with a supernatural horror story (and a few choice memes from a certain scene-stealing goat!...

Star Trek’s Captain Picard Almost Had A Very Different Character Trait Paramount Television By Andrew Housman/Feb. 8, 2022 8:49 pm EST “Star Trek: The Next Generation” has inquired about the future of humanity and the nature of being, but the French Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s English accent remains a point of confusion even after the man traversed space and time.

Studio 666 Trailer: Making An Album Is Hell Roswell Films By Anya Stanley/Jan. 11, 2022 10:56 pm EST Rock ’n roll has long been friendly to the occult. It’s a relationship whose lore stretches all the way back to blues pioneer Robert Johnson’s fabled crossroads deal with the devil in exchange for musical mastery, and the entire heavy metal genre is infused with it (don’t even get me started on Black Sabbath)....
Surf Ninjas & Ninja Turtles Actor Ernie Reyes Jr. Faces A New Fight: A Kidney Transplant New Line Cinema By Ben F. Silverio/Dec. 23, 2021 5:37 pm EST Many legendary figures in the realm of entertainment have universal appeal. Basically everyone acknowledges that people like Walt Disney, Lucille Ball, Jim Henson, Mary Shelley, Stan Lee, and Whoopi Goldberg can all be considered legends in their own right. But there are plenty of inspiring individuals out there, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, that don’t get recognized as often as they should....

The Deer King Trailer: A Fantasy Epic From The Animator Behind Spirited Away GKIDS By Kaylee Dugan/May 11, 2022 8:58 am EST If you go wild over the animation in movies like “Your Name,” “Paprika,” and “Spirited Away,” then I highly recommend you 1) Immediately scroll down to the trailer in this article and 2) Start blocking out your July weekends. I write all of this because “The Deer King” is hitting theaters in July 2022 and it marks the directorial debut of Masashi Ando (along with co-director Masayuki Miyaji), who worked as a character designer, animation director, and key animator on those incredible movies....
The Iron Man Scene In Captain America: Civil War You Didn’t Realize Was Improvised Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/Dec. 28, 2021 1:28 pm EST Though improv may sometimes cause you to roll your eyes (haven’t we all endured a bad improv show?), great actors have used improvisation as a great tool throughout cinema history.

The Adam Soong thread Paramount Adam Soong had previously been convinced by Q that his future as a geneticist was secure, as he was the one to kick off an overwhelming wave of self-satisfied superiority among humanity, and instigate a future of Earth-led, galaxy-wide fascism and genocide. In order for this to happen, however, Renée Picard had to be prevented from going on her Europa mission. Although Renée Picard’s crippling doubts were wrapped up when Jean-Luc (Patrick Stewart) gave her a 30-second pep talk back in episode 6, her mission is now in danger again when Soong decides he needs to assassinate her....
Who You Gonna Call? Columbia Pictures To promote the 1984 film, the Ghostbusters’ TV commercial was re-edited for a trailer that replaced its phony 555-2368 phone number with the then-operational 1-800-654-1984, which received an estimated 1,000 calls per hour, around the clock, for six weeks. Callers heard a pre-recorded dialogue by Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, using their real names, but still basically in-character from the film, claiming they were out investigating “a possible infestation backstage at the show ‘La Femme Des Paris’ at the Waverly Theater in Times Square,” for which they were “bringing all of our equipment into the girls’ dressing room” for “a complete sweep” that “could take a couple of weeks....
