The Boys’ obsession with sex-related gore Prime Video Where the show writers’ slightly depraved brand of creativity shines is with its depiction of supe-on-supe sex. Season 2 has multiple, somewhat nauseating, sex scenes between all-powerful psychopath Homelander (Antony Starr) and the literal Nazi superhero Stormfront (Aya Cash). Their first time together features Homelander burning her with his lasers and her throwing him around the apartment. These are two god-like beings who can’t be harmed by normal people or weapons, so here they’re basically reveling in how tough they are....

Ridley Scott’s Biggest Directing Decision Happens Long Before Filming DreamWorks By Jeremy Smith/July 1, 2022 5:31 pm EST An old theater adage claims directing is 90% casting. Basically, if you hire the right actor for each principal role, you’ve spared yourself a load of tsuris once the production is up and on its feet. There will be unforeseen obstacles, if not outright debacles, but at least you know the folks charged with bringing the work to life need little in the way of adjustments and coddling....

Sundown Trailer I always, always, always feel like I’m cheating when I say this sort of thing, but I really mean it: “Sundown” is one of those movies that’s even better if you know next to nothing about it. I caught the film at TIFF last year, and it knocked me back in my seat because I honestly had no clue as to where all this was headed. As I wrote in my review:...

Catharine O’Hara and Eugene Levy ITV Studios Frequently appearing together since they met way back in the days of the 1970s and ’80s Canadian comedy show “SCTV,” Catharine O’Hara and Eugene Levy are a delight wherever they appear. Effortlessly bouncing off one another, both of these comedy artists are weirdos in different ways. It’s usually Levy that plays it straight while O’Hara gives off great unhinged vibes. Christopher Guest often pairs Levy and O’Hara in his mockumentary films....

The 15 Best Costume Drama Movies Ranked Sony Pictures Releasing By Dalin Rowell/April 11, 2022 1:41 pm EST While many genres have captured the imaginations of filmgoers, none are quite as regal as costume dramas.

The Second Age of Aquarius Secondageofaquarius The highest-rated film on our list is “The Second Age of Aquarius”, a sci-fi comedy by director Staci Layne Wilson.

Her dreams become a reality when her program brings Aquarius back to life. He’s convinced he’s simply tripping and ready to rock again....

The Boys Star Karen Fukuhara Is Recovering From A Hate Crime Attack Prime Video By Jenna Busch/March 17, 2022 3:55 pm EST I am horrified as I write this, and I’m losing any tiny scrap of belief in the human race that still lingered after these past few years.

14 Best Paul Dano Movies Ranked Miramax By Scott Thomas/May 10, 2022 7:50 pm EST Since 2008, movie stars get minted by superhero movies. Chris Evans had appeared in “Not Another Teen Movie,” Danny Boyle’s “Sunshine,” and “Fantastic Four” before he donned a suit and shield in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” That made him Chris Evans. The casting of Robert Pattinson as Batman drew fan ire on Twitter, but mostly because many remembered him as a brooding, glittery vampire....

Pictures By Max Evry/April 22, 2022 9:24 am EST In September of 2014 I was able to visit the set of Warner Bros.
