Everything You Need To Remember To Watch Stranger Things Season 4 Netflix By Miyako Pleines/May 18, 2022 10:06 am EST After a long hiatus, fans of the hit Netflix show “Stranger Things” can finally get ready to return to the Upside Down. Over the course of three seasons, we have seen the disappearance of middle-schooler Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) lead to the discovery of this mysterious alternate dimension that seems hellbent on infiltrating the real world and destroying it....

Hayden Christensen And Ewan McGregor’s Brotherly Bond Came From Star Wars Lightsaber Training Lucasfilm By Valerie Ettenhofer/May 27, 2022 9:27 pm EST As “Star Wars” Celebration continues, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are reflecting on “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” as the film marks its 20th anniversary this month. The pair spoke about the origins of their “brotherly bond” at the event today, and /Film was there to capture it....

The Lost City and the short theatrical window Paramount Pictures “The Lost City” is far from the latest film to take advantage of the shorter theatrical window. The traditional window, which you probably remember from agonizingly waiting for your new favorite movie to arrive on VHS or DVD, previously required a 90-day stint in theatres before a film could be taken out and move on to being distributed for home viewing....

Invasion Season 1 Ending Explained: The Visitors Haven’t Left Apple TV+ By Valerie Ettenhofer/March 22, 2022 4:52 pm EST Apple TV+’s series “Invasion” is not your typical alien show. The series takes place all across the globe as seemingly random people are impacted by first contact from extraterrestrials. The series’ budget appears to be as massive as its scope, but its stories mostly stay grounded thanks to a few standout performances and an emotional score by Max Richter....

Netflix Drops $50 Billion In Value Overnight After Falling Short Of Subscriber Goals Paramount Pictures By Ben F. Silverio/Jan. 24, 2022 9:38 am EST Even before the world was forced to stay home more than ever, Netflix was a major part of the cultural zeitgeist. For better or for worse, the phrase and the associated action of “Netflix and chill” has basically replaced “dinner and a movie.” Netflix as a noun, meaning a subscription-based site where one can find a nearly endless amount of movies and shows, is ingrained in our vernacular just as Kleenex, Coke, and Q-Tip has replaced tissue, soda, and cotton swab for many people....

Official Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Funko Pops Reveal One Strange Cast Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/March 1, 2022 9:37 pm EST Trailers and posters aren’t the only ways to learn exciting new details about a movie these days. Fans can learn a whole lot from various tie-in merchandise like apparel, books, or toys. And though these things may sometimes enter the grey area of spoiler territory, most of the time they’re just a small tease of what’s to come....

Peacemaker Is A ‘Best Friend, For Never’ In The Middle Of Sci-Fi Insanity Warner Bros. By Danielle Ryan/Jan. 13, 2022 10:00 am EST The first episode of James Gunn’s series “Peacemaker” helped set the stage in the wake of “The Suicide Squad” and introduced us to Peacemaker’s new world-saving, crime-fighting team, but the second episode, “Best Friends, for Never,” ignites the dangerous new plot that will be unfolding on HBO Max....

Robert Pattinson Has Caught The Blockbuster Bug, Would Like To Be In Dune: Part Two Warner Bros. By Sandy Schaefer/March 7, 2022 12:01 pm EST “The Batman” director Matt Reeves recently admitted he was “devastated” when he learned Robert Pattinson had signed on for Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi thriller “Tenet,” fearing it would kill his interest in playing the Caped Crusader in Reeves’ film. As it turned out, though, R-Pattz was not only down with the idea, but it seems he’s since developed a taste for auteur-driven blockbusters....

The 15 Best Joaquin Phoenix Movies Ranked Cubankite/Shutterstock By Liam Gaughan/Jan. 31, 2022 11:24 am EST Few actors working today can generate anticipation for an upcoming title quite like Joaquin Phoenix. While it’s typically the filmmaker, franchise, or concept of a film that grabs the interest of cinephiles, Phoenix is one of those actors who is so consistently experimental that you’re always guaranteed an interesting performance. The “Joker” Oscar winner has starred in a wide range of films that vary in quality, yet he’s rarely turned in a performance that didn’t automatically generate conversation....

Nicholas and Alexandra Columbia Pictures The 1971 period drama “Nicholas and Alexandra” explores the final years of the Romanov dynasty, beginning in the early 1900s and extending through the Russian Revolution and their eventual execution. Like many of the roles from this portion of his career, in “Nicholas and Alexandra” Laurence Olivier plays not the male lead, but the elder statesman, leading a touch of gravitas to the proceedings. Here he takes on the role of Count Witte, Prime Minister to Michael Jayston’s Tsar Nicholas II....

Lee Daniels Lionsgate Writer-producer-director Lee Daniels didn’t take the traditional film school path to directing, and that makes his hugely successful career all the more inspiring. Daniels broke into the film industry as a successful talent manager and casting director before moving into producing. As a producer, Daniels struck gold right away with his first film, “Monster’s Ball,” which was critically acclaimed and earned Halle Berry the Oscar for best actress in a leading role, making her the first woman of color to win the honor....

The Academy Has Begun Disciplinary Proceedings Against Will Smith Neilson Barnard / Getty Images By Witney Seibold/March 30, 2022 9:56 pm EST According to a statement released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization has begun disciplinary action against Will Smith after he slapped host Chris Rock during the Oscars telecast on March 27. That same evening, Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in “King Richard,” the actor’s first award after two previous acting nominations for “Ali” and “The Pursuit of Happyness....

Catwoman discovers Annika’s corpse Warner Bros. Pictures Even though this scene features the awesome first appearance of the Batmobile, it’s easily the weakest from the standpoint of showcasing Selina Kyle, who’s not given much to do. Nor does it reveal much we didn’t know, beyond confirming what we’d been led to suspect after her quest to locate and protect Annika (Hana Hrzic). Selina deserves to learn what’s happened to the woman whom she’s lived with and cared for, even if the bitter truth is that she’s been killed, zipped in a bag, and stuffed in a car trunk at the scene of a drug deal between Penguin (Colin Farell) and Gotham City Police officers....

Folks, It’s A Weird One Paramount Problems plagued “Cool World” from early on. Ralph Bakshi told Cartoon Brew that, when working with Paramount, he “wasn’t used to people telling [him] what to do, which is what everyone else gets used to!” The studio collaboration was plagued by rewrites, differences in vision, and casting changes. Bakshi told The Guardian that he eventually wanted to leave the project but was told he’d be sued if he did....

The disappointing third entry Lionsgate The apparent “Hunger Games” fatigue that set in towards the end of the series is often attributed to the decision to split the final book in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy, “Mockingjay,” into two parts. At a time where every book-based franchise seemed to be splitting its final book in two (or three, in the infamous case of “The Hobbit”), fans and critics were frustrated when Lionsgate made the same decision....

The Inspirations That Went Into Making The Boys Presents: Diabolical By Danielle Ryan/March 7, 2022 1:53 pm EST “The Boys Presents: Diabolical” is a lot of things. It’s ridiculously funny. It’s disturbing and gross. It’s also an animated anthology series that reminded me of “The Animatrix,” and as it turns out, it was actually inspired by that seminal anthology. At a roundtable press event to promote the series, creators Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen spilled the beans on all of the inspirations for the series, from the Wachowski’s stellar spin-off to “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?...

The Unusual Way Everything Everywhere All At Once’s Music Was Created A24 By Witney Seibold/April 9, 2022 8:40 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Daniels’ (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheiner) film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” takes place in multiple parallel universes, rotating through its wild dimensions every few minutes, and in some cases, every few seconds. This required extensive production design, lighting, and music to differentiate the worlds and keep audiences oriented, even as reality is fracturing....

Theater Chain Cinemark Bounces Back With First Profitable Quarter Of The Pandemic Sony Pictures By Ryan Scott/Feb. 25, 2022 1:04 pm EST Some good news for the movie business today: one of North America’s largest theater chains delivered a solid earnings report. Cinemark, which is third in line behind AMC and Regal in terms of theater chains, has posted its first profitable quarter since the pandemic began, according to its recent earnings report....
