Jurassic World Dominion Helped Kick Other Productions Into Gear During The Pandemic Universal By Rafael Motamayor/April 11, 2022 2:40 pm EST The “Jurassic World” trilogy is coming to an end this summer with “Jurassic World Dominion,” a movie that is not only hoping to tie the whole trilogy up with a nice bow, but also wrap up the whole dinosaur-cloning franchise. Indeed, the new film is notable for several reasons, three of which are Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum, who could very well single-handedly save this rather uneven trilogy....

Kevin Feige Confirms Loki And Sylvie Broke The Multiverse, Thanks A Lot Guys Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/May 3, 2022 4:29 pm EST Look, he’s not called the God of Mischief for no reason, ya know? Even if Tom Hiddleston’s over decade-long tenure as Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has mostly been defined by outright villainy rather than actual mischief (Taika Waititi, naturally, understood the character better than most), it’s not terribly surprising to find out that he would have something to do with unleashing the multiverse in the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Live streaming would, for one thing, enable Netflix subscribers to vote on talent competitions, similar to what network TV viewers do with reality shows like “American Idol” and “Dancing with the Stars....

Netflix Might Adapt Its Own Tinder Swindler Documentary Into A Narrative Feature Netflix By Kaylee Dugan/Feb. 8, 2022 9:36 am EST Content begats content begats content, and no one knows that better than our modern day king of content, Netflix. Riding high off of the buzz around their latest true crime adjacent documentary series “The Tinder Swindler,” Netflix is already asking themselves the next logical question, which is can we make a movie out of this TV show?...

Obi-Wan Kenobi Revealed The Challenges Of Telling A Story Between Trilogies Disney+/Lucasfilm By Sandy Schaefer/May 19, 2022 2:52 pm EST It’s gotten to the point where there are nearly as many “Star Wars” TV series and movies that take place between the events of the original and prequel “Star Wars” film trilogies as there are movies in those trilogies combined. It’s one of the many challenges faced by “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” a show that picks up with the titular Jedi (as once again played by Ewan McGregor) 10 years after “Revenge of the Sith....

Venom Warner Bros. Venom, the steroid, was injected into a small, spindly criminal at the start of the 1997 film “Batman & Robin,” causing the criminal to expand into the muscled monster Bane. That take on the character was a far cry from his comic book equivalent, a regular in Batman’s rogue’s gallery of villains, who often uses enormous quantities of Venom to make himself into a five-foot-wide monstrosity. The version of Bane seen in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” where he was played by Tom Hardy, was never seen using the fictional drug....

The Deleted Horror Movie Scene That Gave Rosario Dawson A Gruesome Death Lionsgate By Danielle Ryan/June 30, 2022 7:39 pm EST Rosario Dawson is a bonafide geek culture queen, having worked with directors ranging from Kevin Smith to Quentin Tarantino. She hasn’t gotten to do a ton of spooky stuff, but sought to change that with a small cameo in Rob Zombie’s 2005 tribute to ’70s exploitation horror, “The Devil’s Rejects....

The Ensemble Action-Comedy Sneakers Might Be Sidney Poitier’s Most Underrated Film Universal Studios By Sandy Schaefer/Jan. 7, 2022 4:02 pm EST The late Sidney Poitier leaves behind an impressive body of work on the big screen, to say nothing of his achievements as a theater actor, social activist, and as the Bahamas’ ambassador to Japan. Over the course of 50-plus years, Poitier portrayed characters that defied racist stereotypes, offering positive depictions of Black men onscreen at a time when they were almost non-existent in mainstream cinema....

Strange new worlds Hulu While he’s known to be a jokester, Lt. Gordon Malloy is much more than comic relief on “The Orville.” In fact, you get to show off your dramatic chops in a number of the show’s best episodes. But it seems, as you said, like Gordon gets a lot more serious in the first three episodes of “New Horizons,” especially in episode 1. Were you excited to explore more aspects of your character in this new season, particularly in response to the Isaac situation?...

An underrated season HBO And sure enough, David Simon was right. Season 2 may not have been as action-packed as the seasons surrounding it, but it helped to dramatically shift audience expectations for what kind of show “The Wire” would be. Season 3 would go on to shift its focus towards Baltimore’s political scene, season 4 would focus on Baltimore’s school system, and season 5 would focus on the media. Each shift would be a little jarring — on first watch, it always takes a few episodes of each season before you can fully keep track of everyone’s names — but these shifts are easier to deal with because of how season 2 prepared us....

Yes, I’m very old, but that show ruled and ruled in a very specific way....

And Just Like That Season 1 Ending Explained: It’s Never Too Late To Find Yourself HBO Max By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 4, 2022 10:29 pm EST Whether we were joyously revisiting old friends or loudly cringing at the women they’ve become, the “Sex in the City” reboot “And Just Like That” has kept us captivated for the last two months (for better or worse), and now we’re saying goodbye once again. The end of the first episode was so shocking it caused Peloton’s stock to drop, and the massive changes seen with Cynthia Nixon’s character, Miranda, have sparked endless online twitter debates, with Sara Ramírez’s character Che Diaz trending on Twitter for most of Thursday following the series finale....

Arnold Schwarzenegger Pushed Himself A Little Too Far While Filming Commando By Ryan Leston/March 30, 2022 9:29 am EST It’s no secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big guy … and that’s a bit of an understatement. Known for his impressive physique, he was a four-time Mr. Universe winner before becoming a movie star and taking on the role of Colonel John Matrix in “Commando.” Now one of his defining films, 1985’s “Commando” laid the groundwork for his big-screen persona....
