Marsters on Caprica SYFY “Caprica” is set 58 years before “Battlestar Galactica.” It takes place on the titular planet, one of the 12 colonies of man.

The series opens with a bombing by the monotheists that claims many lives, including Graystone’s daughter Zoe (Alessandra Torresani)....

All Of Us Are Dead Is The New Squid Game, Hitting The #1 Spot On U.S. Netflix Netflix By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/Feb. 5, 2022 3:44 pm EST “All of Us Are Dead” is not just part of a bizarre conspiracy theory about the world ending in 2012; it’s also the title of one of the most watched shows on Netflix in the US. Following the success of “Squid Game,” the zombie drama has become the second Korean series to dominate Netflix’s U....

Something interesting Carrey is no longer interested in repeating his old successes. He paid homage to “Dumb and Dumber” by appearing in the third film “Dumb and Dumber To,” but he seems done with reliving nostalgia. Carrey, 60, has said that he would prefer to explore something interesting: “I think after the fact when there’s been a lot of years, unless some genius person, director, auteur comes to you with a completely new take on what’s going on, you know....

Atlanta Season 3 Teaser: The Gang Takes A European Vacation FX Networks By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 27, 2021 9:45 am EST The wait is almost over! One of the absolute best, most hilarious, and endlessly creative TV series to hit the airwaves in recent years is finally set to return after a lengthy hiatus between seasons. You wouldn’t necessarily think that assembling a cast of talented and constantly in-demand stars would actually be much of a drawback, but juggling the various scheduling conflicts between Donald Glover, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield, and more ended up playing a major factor in the pause that has lasted for over four years between the second and third seasons....

Daki and Gyutaro — The Saddest Backstory Ever? Crunchyroll As expected, we finally got Daki and Gyutaro’s backstory. Not only was it predictably tragic, but it’s also probably one of the saddest backstories we’ve seen in the series thus far — and for some of the most ruthless villains we’ve seen so far. I mean, Daki’s human name was literally that of a disease, which is pretty messed up. Not to mention the whole “brutally maimed and left for dead after years of struggle and abuse” thing....

Girls5Eva Season 2 Clip: The Girls Are Back! Universal Television By Valerie Ettenhofer/March 14, 2022 4:01 pm EST Praise the girl band powers-that-be: “Girls5Eva” is back this May, and Peacock just released a new clip to hold us over until then. The joke-a-minute series from the team behind “30 Rock” was one of 2021’s underrated gems, and its sophomore season is poised to continue plumbing the kooky, messed-up comedic depths of show biz and ’90s stardom....

Concerning the ‘horror epic’ Monkeypaw Productions According to press releases sent out for the film over the last month, Peele is billing the film not just as a horror movie, but as a “horror epic.” With that in mind, what can we expect from “Nope”? Well, there’s a lot we don’t know, and that’s Peele’s style. But we can deduce that the movie will be a horror story on a massive scale that utilizes its terrors to reflect back to us our fear the unknown....

‘I was pretty enthusiastic about the whole idea of switching to digital cinema’ Lucasfilm There’s something to be said for how director George Lucas managed to completely revolutionize the moviemaking industry — not just once, but twice. Where the original “Star Wars” set the template for practical and special effects in transporting audiences to never-before-seen worlds, his prequel trilogy similarly proved to be a game-changer in terms of ushering filmmakers into a new digital age....

James Corden will be going to bed early and leaving “The Late Late Show.” He’s doing it. The “Cats,” “Peter Rabbit,” and “The Prom” actor is calling it quits. These are facts. If you’re sad about losing out on your favorite late night host, I’m very sorry and I hope you treat yourself to something nice....

Jaws And E.T. Are Heading To IMAX Theaters For The First Time Universal Pictures By Valerie Ettenhofer/June 9, 2022 3:40 pm EST Steven Spielberg’s roster of classics includes some of the most cinematic, crowd-pleasing movies ever made, so it’s a wonder that some of them have never been shown in IMAX. That’s about to be remedied, though, as Deadline reports that both “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Jaws” are set for their first-ever IMAX debut....

Mandy Director Panos Cosmatos To Helm SciFi Fantasy, Nekrokosm RLJE Films By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 24, 2022 12:53 pm EST Panos Cosmatos fans, your prayers have been answered. The “Mandy” and “Beyond the Black Rainbow” filmmaker is teaming up with none other than A24 and XYZ FIlms for his upcoming sci-fi fantasy project, “Nekrokosm.” Cosmatos has always kept a low profile, keeping hardcore fans in anticipation about his next big, (potentially) wonderfully bonkers project, especially after the release of Cosmatos’ acclaimed heavy metal valentine, “Mandy,” starring Nicolas Cage and Andrea Riseborough....

Nothing Lasts Forever Review: This Highly Cinematic Documentary Holds A Loupe Over The Diamond Industry [SXSW] SXSW By Chris Evangelista/March 12, 2022 5:00 pm EST Diamonds. They’re forever. They’re a girl’s best friend. They’re fancy, elegant, glamourous, and — usually — expensive. But what are they, really, other than solid carbon pulled from the ground? The diamond engagement ring is a staple; a fixture; a sign of true love. Why? Because that’s what we’ve been led to believe....

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) Lucasfilm Well, hello there. As one of the very few universally beloved elements from the prequel trilogy, Ewan McGregor’s performance proved that George Lucas simply couldn’t have found a better actor to embody Alec Guinness’ take on old Ben Kenobi. His vital function as the mentor figure to Luke Skywalker helped spur on the young Jedi-in-the-making towards fulfilling his ultimate destiny in the originals, though that all lays ahead of him at this point in the “Star Wars” timeline....

Peter O’Toole Nearly Turned Down His Lawrence Of Arabia Role Columbia Pictures By Mike Shutt/March 25, 2022 12:43 pm EST Imagining “Lawrence of Arabia” without Peter O’Toole at its center seems completely unthinkable today. With his intense blue eyes and mysterious demeanor, he was the perfect choice to play the man in the middle of this gargantuan, near four-hour epic who remains as elusive at the end as he was at the beginning....

Pulp Fiction Ending Explained: Pride Comes Before The Fall Miramax By Danielle Ryan/Jan. 6, 2022 2:32 pm EST When Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” debuted in 1994, critics and audiences alike were stunned by the unique non-linear structure. Nearly 30 years later, viewers are still shocked and surprised by this twisting, turning pulp drama. Tarantino co-wrote the script with Roger Avary and it took home the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, but their twisty tale leaves some big questions unanswered in service of creating a complex fable....
