Memory Star Guy Pearce On Making His Characters Feel Honest, And Memories From LA Confidential [Interview] Open Road Films By Jack Giroux/April 28, 2022 1:12 pm EST Guy Pearce is about as confident of a supporting player as a director can get in a movie. No matter the size of the role or often even the quality of the picture, Pearce is going to bring some authenticity to it. He’s rarely ever had to make epic transformations to make audiences forget they’re watching Guy Pearce on the big screen....

By Lyvie Scott/Feb. 15, 2022 12:08 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It’s been over 15 years since “The Devil Wears Prada” first strutted into our lives as a fully-formed classic. The film is many things to many people: a sartorial coming-of-age story, a highbrow chick flick, a reckoning for the sacrifice that comes with climbing the ladder of success. The story is told through the eyes of Anne Hathaway’s fashion-averse Andy, but in many ways, it is also about Meryl Streep — or Streep’s now-iconic antihero Miranda Priestly....

A godly fight Disney+ In the last episode of “Moon Knight” (for now?), Arthur Harrow finally frees the goddess Ammit, who immediately starts devouring the souls of those she deems to be future sinners, making her heart grow approximately 300 sizes that day. The more she devours, the bigger she grows, until she towers over Cairo, the size of one of the great pyramids. Soon enough, Khonshu also manages to grow the size of a behemoth (but presumably without devouring souls) and we get a massive showdown of two actual living Egyptian gods on the Giza necropolis....

Ms. Marvel TV Spot: Kamala Khan Spends Too Much Time In Fantasy Land Disney+ By Ben F. Silverio/April 4, 2022 9:24 am EST Yes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is vast and can be intimidating to some new fans. I’m sure that it doesn’t help that there’s a constant flow of promotional material for the next thing coming up before the current thing has ended. And while I don’t want to overlook the latest Marvel Studios series “Moon Knight” or the upcoming Phase Four feature film “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” I can’t help but get excited for “Ms....

As Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel Hillard (Williams) can still interact with his children on a daily basis, despite his wife getting sole custody of them....

The film sees Benedict Cumberbatch reprise the role of Stephen Strange, though as with most Marvel movies, precious few details have emerged regarding the plot. With all the excitement, you might be wondering what MCU movies and TV shows you need to catch up on to enjoy the film....

The Sandman: Release Date, Cast, And More Netflix By Sandy Schaefer/June 6, 2022 5:39 pm EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) The day “The Sandman” fans have long (wait for it …) dreamed about is almost upon us. At last, Neil Gaiman’s superb comic books are headed to the small screen after years of failed attempts to wrangle the author’s opus on the power of stories into a movie or TV series, with Gaiman himself among the chief creatives....

Much bolder than expected HBO “I sold it as a cop show,” David Simon told novelist and soon-to-be co-writer George Pelecanos at the time, “but they don’t know it’s not really a cop show.” Many of the actors on the show were under a similar impression: “I expected it to be about wiretapping,” Frankie Faison said, who joined the show as deputy commissioner Ervin Burrell. And at first glance, “The Wire” might very well seem like a cop show....

This Memorable Prop From David Cronenberg’s Crash Ended Up In Unexpected Place New Line Cinema/Fine Line Features/Alliance Communications By Shae Sennett/June 8, 2022 5:28 pm EST The king of body horror, David Cronenberg, has made a career exploring physical discomfort in his art. As the director has grown older, he himself has had to experience more and more ailments that align him with the experiences of his characters. Perhaps the most damaged people Cronenberg has ever brought to life onscreen can be found in his controversial 1996 film “Crash,” based on the J....

Why The X-Men Franchise Was A Nightmare For Alan Cumming By Jamie Gerber/June 10, 2022 8:12 pm EST The “X-Men” franchise has certainly had some depressing lows to match its incredible highs, but for me, “X2: X-Men United” is the best “X-Men” movie. The 2003 film, very loosely based on the famed graphic novel “X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills,” improved on its predecessor in every way. There are plenty of amazing moments and standout performances, but few are as memorable as Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler....

Will Stranger Things Ever Solve The Problem Of Will’s Forgotten Birthday? Netflix By Jenna Busch/June 25, 2022 9:39 am EST Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) has been through hell. Or the Upside Down, at least. He’s been drawn into a nether region, tortured, possessed, and cannot understand why his friends are leaving him behind. It appears that he has unrequited romantic feelings for Mike (Finn Wolfhard). (If this isn’t true, I’ll eat my hat....

‘A Lot Of Puke’ Is The Price You Pay For A Spot In Top Gun: Maverick Paramount Pictures By Ryan Scott/May 25, 2022 5:37 pm EST Much has changed in the movie business since the original “Top Gun” hit theaters in the summer of 1986. The special effects industry has taken gigantic leaps forward and, largely through the use of computer-generated visual effects, just about anything is possible. But when Tom Cruise decided to return for “Top Gun: Maverick” all these years later, he wasn’t about to let the younger cast members get off easy....

14 Reasons Why Star Trek: Lower Decks Is The Best Star Trek Show Paramount By Margaret David/May 24, 2022 1:32 pm EST “Star Trek: Lower Decks” takes fans to the weirder side of the “Trek” universe. The second series presented in a traditional animated cartoon style (not to disregard the delightful 3D CGI “Prodigy”) is as adult as its forefathers, but it’s a lot funnier, playing to an audience that’s grown up with the franchise....

16 Horror Movies That Ruined Everyday Activities Universal Pictures By Chad Collins/April 11, 2022 1:52 pm EST Horror movies can scare you in a lot of different ways. Some use explicit gore and visceral violence to terrify, while others exploit deeply-held religious beliefs to haunt long after the credits roll. There are imports and exports, a transnational stage where distinct, individual fears are rendered global. The advent of social media has illuminated, perhaps better than ever, the kinds of fears people experience in their day-to-day lives....

‘He wanted to see if I’d lose my mind’ Warner Bros. Pictures Butler detailed a bit of his auditioning process while on the Kelly Clarkson Show, which began with a taped submission. After Lurhmann responded to Butler’s initial audition, Butler “flew to New York, and we met and we just talked for three hours.” He continued: “Then [Luhrmann] said, ‘You want to come in tomorrow and read a couple scenes from the script?...
