Larry David To Get His Own Prett-Ay, Prett-Ay Good Two-Part Documentary At HBO HBO Documentary Films By Anya Stanley/Feb. 17, 2022 5:30 pm EST “I never thought of myself as being funny,” Larry David begins. “What do you do when you’re talking and people are laughing? You do comedy.” David has successfully done comedy since the late 70s, beginning with standup and advancing to the writer’s room at ABC’s late-night comedy show “Fridays,” where he also starred as a cast member....

‘Telephone, telegraph, tell Carrie’ Hamill further recounted to Graham Norton how it all went down when he first learned about Vader being Luke’s father. He said: “Irvin Kershner, took me aside, He came to my dressing room, actually, and he said, ‘I’m going to tell you something.’ I know it, George Lucas knows it, and when I tell you, you’ll know it, but if it leaks, we’ll know it was you....

Mike Flanagan Wasn’t Sure That Midnight Mass Would Ever Get Made Netflix By Kaylee Dugan/June 21, 2022 9:46 pm EST You might know Mike Flanagan as the horror ace in Netflix’s back pocket. After all, he is the brain behind “The Haunting of Hill House” series and movies like “Hush” and “Gerald’s Game,” but he didn’t always have such a command of Netflix’s genre budget. Even after wooing the streaming giant with his horror hits, Flanagan had a hard time finding a home for his many years in the making pet project, “Midnight Mass....

Movies Like Belfast That Cinema Fans Need To See Focus Features By Chad Collins/March 4, 2022 12:23 pm EST “Belfast” is a lot of things, though not necessarily any of the ones its holiday season marketing led audiences to believe. There’s no doubt that it’s good — very good, in fact — and it’s clear that it’s a movie filmmaker Kenneth Branagh has wanted to make for quite some time. When juxtaposed with “Death on the Nile,” his other recent release, it’s a reminder of how intimacy, sincerity, and a smaller-scale can bring the largest stories to life....

Ms. Marvel’s Red Dagger Explained: Who Is Kamala’s New Ally? Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/June 29, 2022 10:53 am EST Warning: Major spoilers ahead for episode 4 of “Ms. Marvel.” The latest episode of “Ms. Marvel” situates Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and her mother, Muneeba (Zenobia Shroff), in Karachi, Pakistan, after Kamala’s nani (maternal grandmother) asks her to visit the place. A lot goes down in this episode, as we learn more about Aisha and the bangle in this episode, and Kamala’s nani asks her to find the train they had both seen in the vision shown by the bangle....

Sweet slimy snails Hulu “Deep Water” is an erotic thriller that follows the Van Allens as they try to keep their marriage together through a precarious arrangement where Melinda can have sex with whoever she wants, as long as they keep up appearances and stay together for their daughter. There’s a lot to dig into, especially Vic’s cuckolding and jealousy spiral, but there’s just something fascinating about the snails. Plenty of eccentric rich guys keep giant tropical fish tanks in order to show off their wealth and have something to take care of, but snail farming is a fairly unusual hobby....

Only Bob Odenkirk Is Allowed To Improvise On I Think You Should Leave Netflix By Steven Ward/June 28, 2022 9:52 am EST The jokes and wacky characters of “I Think You Should Leave” find unconventional ways to nudge a laugh out of you. Whether it’s via a washed-up Santa Claus dropping F-bombs or an alumni dinner that goes awry when a former professor gets envious enough of someone’s burger to brazenly eat it....

Oscar Isaac Says Moon Knight Is ‘A Limited Series’ And It Gets ‘Very Weird’ Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 3, 2022 3:00 pm EST As fun a narrative as it may be for Marvel Studios and DC Films to cast actors who are also big fans of the superheroes they’re playing — look no further than Andrew Garfield’s endearing sense of protectiveness over portraying Peter Parker in both “The Amazing Spider-Man” movies — I also have to appreciate when actors just straight-up admit that some of these newer and lesser-known characters are as foreign to them as they are to the majority of casual audiences....

Spider-Man: No Way Home Swings Past $800 Million At The Domestic Box Office And Into The Record Books Sony Pictures By Ryan Scott/March 28, 2022 1:07 pm EST “Spider-Man: No Way Home” has crossed yet another major box office milestone. It’s amazing that this superhero movie still has any worlds left to conquer and yet, here we are, watching the gigantic hit Marvel blockbuster swinging into an exclusive club reserved for only the biggest of the big movies in history....

Synchronic Ending Explained: Which Timeline Are You Experiencing? XYZ Films By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 21, 2022 2:17 pm EST Time travel movies are not easy to pull off, but the creative team of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead tackled the impossible with their 2019 science fiction drama “Synchronic.” Set in New Orleans, “Synchronic” gets its name from a new designer drug infiltrating the market that allows users to time travel. When the film popped up on Netflix in 2020, its popularity spiked, and it topped the most-watched list for multiple days in a row....

Betty Draper AMC Networks Betty is fascinating, even if she is often the most unlikeable character on the show. January Jones does not get enough credit for the complexity that she brought to the character. Betty was shaped by wealth and privilege, and her marriage to Don allows her to live a life disconnected from reality. However, she’s also a victim of the same sexist environment that all of the other female characters struggle to survive in....

Baby walking into the staff party in Dirty Dancing Lionsgate Set in the summer of 1963, “Dirty Dancing” left a pop culture impact on the ’80s with its dance sequences, quotable one-liners, and equally memorable costumes. From Baby (Jennifer Grey) and Johnny’s (Patrick Swayze) finale attire to Lisa’s (Jane Brucker) tiki-inspired performance ensemble, the film has no shortage of incredible outfits. Yet the scene where Baby enters the Catskills resort staff party with a watermelon in her hands leaves quite the fashionable impression....

The Strangest Star Wars Knock-Offs Of All Time Columbia Pictures By Joe Garza/June 2, 2022 11:09 am EST It’s impossible to measure how impactful “Star Wars” has been on pop culture ever since it exploded into cinemas in 1977. The franchise itself is its own dynasty that comprises numerous sequels, prequels, spinoffs, television series, video games, and seemingly infinite merchandise. With plenty of other “Star Wars” projects currently in development, it’s a safe bet the series will continue to dominate screens for quite some time....

Thor: Love And Thunder’s Gorr The God Butcher Was Almost Teased In Moon Knight Disney+ By Jenna Busch/May 9, 2022 3:30 pm EST The constantly switching release dates for Marvel TV series and films — from Covid issues and production delays — have caused some continuity issues for the MCU. It was bound to happen. There are so many moving parts this far into a continuing story where everything hinges on everything else....

Those Edge Of Tomorrow Exosuits Were As Heavy As They Look Warner Bros. Pictures By Collier Jennings/March 29, 2022 1:01 pm EST “Edge of Tomorrow” mashes up two of the most enduring tropes in science fiction: the alien invasion and the time loop. Though the film mostly focuses on Tom Cruise doing what Tom Cruise does best, tempting death over and over again, there’s also a scene-stealing performance from Emily Blunt....

Ultraman Season 2 release date In June 2019, Netflix confirmed that “Ultraman” would continue fighting the good fight in a second season. The trippy teaser trailer for the season revealed that the show would air on the streaming platform on April 14, 2022, as part of Netflix’s spring schedule of releases. Shinjiro, the new Ultraman and son of the original hero, faces a Thanos-level threat (seriously, what is it with aliens and Earth’s population?...

Why Stephen King Isn’t A Fan Of The Tommyknockers Miniseries ABC Television By Collier Jennings/March 9, 2022 11:46 am EST Though Stephen King is known as one of the most prolific horror writers on the planet, he’s admitted that some of his works sprung from the period of time when he was struggling with substance abuse — namely, the late ’70s and early ’80s. King also said he isn’t fond of the work he produced during this time, including his sci-fi horror novel “The Tommyknockers” and its television adaptation....

Will Forte’s MacGruber Returns To SNL, And He’s An Anti-Vaxxer Now NBC By Ben F. Silverio/Jan. 23, 2022 3:52 pm EST Twelve years after his departure as a regular cast member, Will Forte finally returned to the “Saturday Night Live” stage to host the long-running late night sketch comedy series. Because the “Last Man On Earth” and “Nebraska” star is best known for bringing a number of awkward and somewhat dark characters to life throughout his eight year tenure on the show, Forte has quite a deep well of characters that he could have brought back for his first hosting gig....

Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid Ending Explained: Going Out In A Blaze Of Glory By Steven Ward/Jan. 20, 2022 2:00 pm EST Everyone can remember the striking final frame of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” It’s one immortalized in a freeze-frame shot, one that sees the charismatic bandit and his dead-shot partner facing a hail of inescapable gunfire. And although logic assures the duo, portrayed indelibly by Paul Newman and Robert Redford, don’t squirm or shoot their way out....

Catherine Called Birdy Trailer: Bella Ramsey Defies Medieval Conventions Prime Video By Jenna Busch/May 18, 2022 3:58 pm EST I am a sucker for a story about a clever and innovative young woman in a time when young women were supposed to be quiet and submissive. I firmly reject the idea of time travel, as I love flushing toilets and equal rights (such as they are), but even as a little girl, I loved thinking about whether or not I’d be one of those young women who would reject the rules as much as she could and try to live an extraordinary life....
