Al Pacino’s Dog Day Afternoon Doubts Manifested As A Mustache Warner Bros. By Mike Shutt/May 18, 2022 1:58 pm EST They may not want to admit it, but men are absolutely obsessed with their own appearance. That obsession manifests itself in a litany of different ways. Sometimes, it is pure vanity. We all know those movie stars who wanted to be framed and lit a certain way to best accentuate their features, and they will only pick projects that will cater to upholding that specific appearance....

Nolan’s cinematic breakup revenge Warner Bros. After a 19-year relationship, the breakup between Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. was massive. His films like “The Dark Knight” trilogy and “Dunkirk” were huge releases for the duo, but after Warner Bros. revealed its plan to release its entire 2021 slate both in theaters and on HBO Max on the same day, Christopher Nolan dumped Warner Bros. Nolan was not quiet about the separation either, going as far as to call HBO Max “the worst streaming service” (he’s wrong, for the record) and taking his talents to Universal Pictures for “Oppenheimer....

Doctor Sleep Put Some Stephen King Back In Stanley Kubrick’s Shining Warner Bros By Eric Vespe/June 18, 2022 11:40 am EST One of the most impressive things about Mike Flannigan’s adaptation of “Doctor Sleep” is how it acts as a cinematic olive branch of sorts to Stephen King readers while also honoring the iconic Stanley Kubrick adaptation of “The Shining” that came before. King’s dedicated readers (and famously King himself) have been angry about the Kubrick film since day one....

How Joel Edgerton’s Role In Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones Kickstarted His Career Lucasfilm Ltd. By Erin Brady/May 20, 2022 9:15 am EST “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is one of the year’s most anticipated shows, and it has been no surprise that it will serve as an integral part of the “Star Wars” canon.

Hulu’s Puppies Crash Christmas Is The Only Good Left In The World Hulu By BJ Colangelo/Dec. 24, 2021 1:19 pm EST The Critic’s Choice Awards have been postponed, “John Wick: Chapter 4” has been delayed until 2023, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is spreading faster than a click-bait headline about a Marvel movie, and “Titane” was snubbed from the Oscars shortlist. I don’t know about you, but heading into the weekend holiday, it’s becoming harder and harder to find things that make me feel anything other than existential dread with a sprinkle of seasonal depression....

Saw 10 Has Been Written But It’s Not Clear If It’ll Get Made Lionsgate By Lex Briscuso/March 16, 2022 10:37 am EST Guess who’s back, back again? Yeah, Jigsaw’s back, tell a friend. When Lionsgate decided to revive the “Saw” franchise in 2017 with “Jigsaw,” no one — not even “Saw” fans — was sure it would be worth it. Since then, “Saw” sequel “Spiral” (the ninth film in the franchise) was released in 2021, and now, it seems we may have a true “Saw” resurgence on our hands....

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Is Still Coming In 2023, According To Disney Lucasfilm By Jeremy Mathai/April 27, 2022 4:34 pm EST It’s no big secret that Disney and Lucasfilm were compelled to pump the breaks on “Star Wars” in the aftermath of the, ah, mixed reception to “The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019. The onset of the pandemic only a few months later provided some cover for the studio, with Kathleen Kennedy and her braintrust taking the time to focus more on taking the franchise to streaming on Disney+ and building out a shared universe of sorts on television....

Solo board games are a niche even within a niche hobby, but one that has seemingly risen in popularity thanks (or no thanks) to the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic....

The Annabelle Comes Home Easter Egg That Pays Homage To The Original Doll Warner Bros. By Anya Stanley/April 22, 2022 5:03 pm EST The first image shown in James Wan’s 2013 horror film “The Conjuring” is of a doll. The doll is weathered (but not necessarily well-loved), with scratches on its blushed cheekbone and worn-away eyelash paint peering out from under blunt red bangs. A crack splits the iris of the toy’s eye, perhaps allowing a peek into something nasty hidden within the porcelain conduit....

The First Episode Of Lord And Miller’s The Afterparty Is Streaming For Free Apple TV+ By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 28, 2022 5:37 pm EST If there are two things that audiences love in this world, it’s murder mysteries and laugh-out-loud comedies. Fortunately for us, the new Apple TV+ show “The Afterparty” combines both in an eight-episode series from “The LEGO Movie” and “21 Jump Street” directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Tiffany Haddish, Dave Franco, Sam Richardson, Ilana Glazer, John Early, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, and plenty more all attend a high school reunion afterparty hosted by the insufferable Xavier (Franco), who graduated and became one of the biggest celebrities in the world....

The Kids In The Hall Review: The Canadian Quintet Returns Mostly To Comic Form By Josh Spiegel/May 11, 2022 12:01 am EST Within the first few minutes of the first episode (there will be eight in total, and I’ve seen the first five), the five stars get as dark as possible in acknowledging the reality of the situation. The setup of the first sketch is that their cult-favorite film “The Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy” has finally made a profit thanks to a garage-sale purchase, meaning that it’s time for them to return to the small screen....

The Producers Of Lost Say Their New Series, From, Won’t Be As Frustrating (We Don’t Believe Them) Bad Robot Productions By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 7, 2022 10:38 am EST Two of the executive producers of “Lost,” Jack Bender and Jeff Pinkner, are reuniting with Harold Perrineau — who played the castaway Michael on the show — for the new Epix series, “From.” The premise of “From” sounds similar to “Wayward Pines” in that it “is set in a nightmarish Midwestern town, where no one can ever leave and terrifying creatures prowl after sunset....

The Shrinking of Treehorn Release Date and Where You Can Watch It Penguin Random House “The Shrinking of Treehorn” currently has a release date of November 10, 2023. The film has been referred to as a “tentpole animated movie” by one of the people associated with it, which leads us to assume that this will get a big theatrical release. But the pandemic has shown that Hollywood has been willing to be somewhat flexible when it comes to things like this, so don’t be surprised if things change and this ends up going straight to Paramount+....
