Ralph Macchio Is Just Like You, Doesn’t Like Karate Kid III Netflix By Jenna Busch/Jan. 4, 2022 11:06 am EST “The Karate Kid Part III” isn’t the most beloved of the films in the franchise. I love these films, but the third one is just so bad. It has characters I love, and continues a story I adore, but I just can’t watch it. I am not alone, and since it’s very likely you agree with me, you’re not alone either....
Renfield Adds Ghostbusters’ Bess Rous To Its Bloody Good Cast Columbia Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 3, 2022 9:27 pm EST The cast of “Renfield,” the upcoming Universal film starring Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his put-upon servant, continues to fill out with the addition of Bess Rous. Deadline reports that Rous has joined the cast as “a member of a support group for people in toxic relationships.” Based on what we know of “Renfield” so far, it seems likely that Hoult’s title character might be attending this support group as he struggles to deal with the demands of his master, Dracula....
Sandra Bullock Isn’t Writing Off Sequels Anymore Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/March 15, 2022 9:58 am EST What’s your favorite Sandra Bullock sequel? That’s sort of a trick question because, as Bullock herself admits, she’s only done two and “they were horrible.” The first was “Speed 2: Cruise Control,” which followed up on her breakout role in “Speed,” but which, 25 years later, has a … wait for it … 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes....

The Fabelmans Release Date and Where You Can Watch It 20th Century Studios Universal Pictures will debut “The Fabelmans” in theaters on November 23, 2022, making it the first Spielberg-directed movie the studio has distributed stateside since 2005’s “Munich.” As with the decision to delay his “West Side Story” remake a year due to Covid, “The Fabelmans” getting a theatrical-exclusive run is in keeping with Spielberg’s commitment to premiering his movies on the big screen as often as possible....

Taika Waititi Didn’t Really Know What Was Going On In His Lightyear Scenes Pixar By Jeremy Mathai/June 16, 2022 6:13 pm EST Taika Waititi, folks: He’s just like you and me! Few studios can boast a track record of such consistency and quality as Pixar. At the same time, few movies can send viewers into an inadvertent tailspin of existential dread quite like certain Pixar movies have. “Cars” famously sent audiences (and at least one /Film writer) down the weirdest possible rabbit hole as a result of its unique rules of world-building....
Tales From The Box Office: The Enduring Star Power Of Batman Warner Bros. By Ryan Scott/March 5, 2022 3:44 pm EST (Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.) There are few characters that have enjoyed the same enduring legacy in the pop culture landscape that Batman has. Sure, much of that currently can be chalked up to the superhero movie boom that has been going on for the past couple of decades, but that doesn’t account for the nearly 60 years of success that Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s legendary creation had prior to the 2000s....

The Aliens Cut James Cameron Prefers Over All Others By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 11, 2022 2:04 pm EST James Cameron’s “Aliens” is one of the greatest movie sequels of all time, but there’s another version of the film that is even better, as far as the director himself is concerned. With a running time of 2 hours and 17 minutes, the theatrical cut of “Aliens” is already somewhat long for an action movie, even one that mixes in elements of sci-fi and horror....
The Daily Stream: Bob Clark’s Black Christmas Is The Ultimate Seasonal Slasher Warner Bros.

The Mandalorian Vs. Boba Fett, Round 4: Cuddle Edition Lucasfilm By Jeff Ewing/Jan. 19, 2022 4:01 pm EST Another episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” is upon us, and that once again means it’s time to dig into the series and its “The Mandalorian” companion to decisively determine which bounty hunter is better. There are still many episodes left and a number of factors to weigh, but this week we’re going to explore an often overlooked attribute that shows the softer side of the pair … how much they embrace the cuddlier things in life....

‘I always wanted to see that movie’ 20th Century Studios Less is often more when it comes to monster movies, be it how little screen time the shark gets in “Jaws” or the way “Predator” leaves viewers to wonder how, exactly, Billy’s death at the hands (er, claws?) of the Predator played out. One need look no further than Dan Trachtenberg for the proof. His imagined version of this scene would ultimately pave the way to “Prey,” as he relayed to Empire:...

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Is A Video Game Now, Watch A Brutal New Trailer Gun Interactive By Valerie Ettenhofer/June 14, 2022 4:33 pm EST One of the scariest horror movies of all time is about to become a video game, and judging by the looks of the new gameplay trailer for “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” it’s going to be a bloody one.

Triassic Parq Is The Musical Retelling Of Jurassic Park You Didn’t Know You Needed Andy Dudik for Blank Canvas Theatre By BJ Colangelo/June 6, 2022 4:40 pm EST Just as William Shakespeare did with “Romeo and Juliet,” a surefire sign of brilliant theatrical artistry is an opening monologue that tells the audience exactly what they’re about to see. “Welcome to ‘Triassic Parq.’ It’s the story of the dinosaurs of ‘Jurassic Park’ but we can’t call it ‘Jurassic Park’ because we might get sued....

Scarfies (1999) New Zealand Film Commission Taika Waititi made his screen debut in the 1999 New Zealand film “Scarfies.” The title refers to the nickname given to students attending the University of Otago in the New Zealand city of Dunedin, for the yellow-and-blue scarves they traditionally wear in support of the Otago Rugby Football Union. Waititi plays Alex, one of several Otago students to move into a seemingly abandoned house, a living situation that becomes perilous when the home’s owner turns up to retrieve the large stash of marijuana he’d hidden in the basement....
