The 20 Best Will & Grace Episodes, Ranked NBC By Bee Delores/March 31, 2022 2:41 pm EST “Will & Grace” premiered on September 21, 1998. Its depiction of gay characters was revolutionary for the time, allowing a wider audience to see the LGBTQ+ community as people with real dreams and desires. Created by David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, the comedy followed interior designer Grace Adler (Debra Messing), Manhattan lawyer Will Truman (Eric McCormack), actor-singer-dancer Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes), and drunken socialite Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) through various shenanigans....

The 94th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony Was The Worst Broadcast In Living Memory ABC By Danielle Ryan/March 28, 2022 2:28 pm EST For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with The Oscars. The live awards ceremony was a way to cap off my feelings about a year of movies, and whether the show was great, terrible, or a compelling mix of the two, it was always fun....

‘We wanted this to be the Viking movie’ Focus Features There, have a much more regal-looking picture of Ethan Hawke as King Aurvandil War Raven in “The Northman,” free of any unsavory insinuations. Don’t say I never did anything for you, Ethan! That neatly segues into Empire Magazine’s brief tease of “The Northman” and Eggers’ very succinct description of what viewers can expect: “Dad is killed by uncle, takes the mom, kid needs to kill the uncle — there you go....

The Only Actor To Play Both Superman And Batman May Surprise You Warner Bros. By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Jan. 4, 2022 10:50 am EST Batman and Superman, two of the biggest DC Comics superheroes, were created to inspire readers with their strong sense of justice and morality.

The Wonder Twins Movie Has Been Scrapped At HBO Max DC Comics By Jenna Busch/May 18, 2022 4:15 pm EST “The Wonder Twins” movie has been officially scrapped, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move comes as new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav is changing things up, post-merger.

Tom Cruise’s Risky Business Romance Caused Some Problems Behind The Scenes Warner Bros. By Travis Yates/June 16, 2022 10:00 pm EST Tom Cruise has made a living playing characters that push the envelope, whether it’s the brash “Top Gun” pilot Maverick or super spy Ethan Hunt in the “Mission Impossible” series. So it is apropos that his breakout role came by way of the 1983 teen sex comedy “Risky Business.” In the film, Cruise played a wealthy teen named Joel Goodsen, left alone for the weekend by his parents....

Why Kelly LeBrock Initially Turned Down John Hughes’ Weird Science Universal Pictures By Witney Seibold/May 27, 2022 9:39 am EST John Hughes’ 1985 sci-fi sex comedy is, true to its title, something of an oddity. The premise of the movie is clearly cut from the adolescent sex fantasies of a teenage boy: Using a super-advanced computer system, a power source stolen from the government, and other common everyday objects around the house, a pair of high school horndogs (Ilan Mitchell-Smith and Anthony Michael Hall) manage to electrically manifest The Ultimate Woman to serve their every desire....

Year Of The Vampire: Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Vampyr Is A Waking Dream Inside A Coffin Tobis Filmkunst By Joshua Meyer/June 18, 2022 2:00 pm EST (Welcome to Year of the Vampire, a series examining the greatest, strangest, and sometimes overlooked vampire movies of all time in honor of “Nosferatu,” which turns 100 this year.) Allan Gray chases shadows. That sounds like a metaphor, and maybe it is one. However, it’s also what Gray, played by Julian West (the screen name of Baron Nicolas de Gunzburg), does in a literal sense as he wanders around a sleepy European village looking for supernatural adventure in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “Vampyr....

A Deadpool Cameo Was Considered For Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness 20th Century Studios By Ryan Scott/May 12, 2022 12:01 pm EST The premise of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (and it’s all right there in the title) paved the way for lots of speculation as to what might actually happen in this movie. The possibilities were, quite literally, infinite. But Marvel Studios and director Sam Raimi also ran the risk of letting this devolve into a cameo festival....

Alfred Molina Was A Little Too Attached To His Doc Ock Tentacles Marvel Studios By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Jan. 19, 2022 1:56 pm EST Alfred Molina has been the talk of the town lately, thanks to his return as Doc Ock, one of Spider-Man’s most formidable foes on the silver screen in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” arguably the greatest superhero film ever made. Dr. Otto Octavius and his villainous alter ego, Doctor Octopus, has long been one of the web-slinger’s most prominent adversaries, and he became even more menacing in “Spider-Man: No Way Home....

Andor Trailer Breakdown: The Rebellion Begins Disney+/Lucasfilm By Sandy Schaefer/May 26, 2022 5:49 pm EST When filmgoers met Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in 2016’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” he was a true believer willing to not only lay down his life but also get his hands dirty if it meant serving the Rebel Alliance’s cause and striking a blow against the fascist forces of the Galactic Empire. Nobody becomes that kind of devoted revolutionary overnight, of course, and that’s where the upcoming TV series “Andor” comes in....

Colin Trevorrow On Rebooting The Jurassic Franchise: ‘Best Of Luck’ Universal Pictures By Jenna Busch/June 8, 2022 3:17 pm EST “Jurassic World Dominion” is hitting theaters this coming weekend, and it’s the end of the second “Jurassic Park” trilogy. There could certainly be more films in the future, but whether or not it would be better to reboot the franchise or continue the story is up for debate.

Cold Open of the Week: Forgiving Rue Eddy Chen/HBO I think we can safely say by now that the Rue parts of this show are its strongest, and this week’s cold open is no exception. Rue sits at a table a few days after returning home. We learn at the episode’s end that she was given drugs to minimize the effects of her withdrawal at the ER, but there’s not a bed ready for her at a rehab center yet....

Everything Everywhere All At Once Stunt Coordinator On The Film’s Wild Fight Sequences [Interview] A24 By Jack Giroux/April 7, 2022 4:00 pm EST Timothy Eulich is a bit overwhelmed by the response to “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” When the stunt coordinator was working on the film, he knew it was unique, but his immense gratification with the end result and the hugely positive response was palpable during a recent interview with him....

Lurking in the shadows Warner Bros. Pennywise’s presence can be felt throughout Derry, and the terrifying monster has a knack for appearing in the strangest places. Though the novel’s opening chapter is known for the awful death of Georgie Denbrough, his horrific end is preceded by a much quieter but equally ominous scare. Georgie goes into his basement for paraffin wax, needed to waterproof his paper sailboat. While making his way through the dark cellar, he notices a pair of glowing eyes watching him patiently as if preparing to strike....

George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord Gets A Star-Studded Music Video Half A Century After Its Release Dark Horse Records By Anya Stanley/Dec. 16, 2021 3:34 pm EST Godless atheists like me are a bundle of contradictions: we tap our feet to the occasional Christmas hymn, we clap along when Sidney Poitier sings “Amen” to Jesus Christ in “Lillies of the Field,” and, at least in this writer’s case, find great joy in George Harrison’s uplifting acoustic celebration of a universal god above secular interpretation, “My Sweet Lord....

Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special Crew Gift Confirms Cosmo The Spacedog, Young Adult Groot Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/April 25, 2022 3:46 pm EST Over the past few years, Peter Quill and the crew of the Benatar have been busy avenging.
