STX Places Rights To Chris Pine Thriller The Contractor In Bankruptcy STXfilms By Jeremy Mathai/March 23, 2022 10:32 am EST Here’s something you don’t see every day. The grand reunion between actors Chris Pine and Ben Foster, who last shared the screen together in 2016’s brilliant “Hell or High Water” (along with “The Finest Hours,” which also released that year), has hit something of a snag only a little over a week before its release in the United States....

The Blade Runner Curse Explained Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/March 24, 2022 10:10 am EST Ridley Scott’s 1982 cult film “Blade Runner,” based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, was released in June of 1982 to little critical fanfare — critics took issue with the film’s sleepy, languid pacing, per the Deseret News — and low-to-middling financial success. At the time, “Blade Runner” only made only $6 million in its opening weekend on a budget of $30 million....

Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” films are no exception. You’ll find decades of superhero history scattered throughout, with subtle nods to several comic book heroes and villains. There’s even a reference to their old rivals DC as Peter Parker shouts out classic superhero catchphrases while perfecting his web-slinging....

The Hidden Detail In Superman’s BvS Suit You May Not Have Noticed Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/Jan. 3, 2022 3:59 pm EST One can say a lot of things about director Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” and “300,” but he can never be accused of working small. Snyder has made a métier out of turning schlocky, action-packed fantasy entertainments into outsized, ponderous, navel-gazing four-hour bouts of grandiloquent bombast....

The Real And Ridiculous Notes Gravity Falls Creators Received From Disney Walt Disney Studios By Shania Russell/June 16, 2022 11:31 am EST “Gravity Falls” is officially 10 years old! Believe it or not, it’s been an entire decade since Disney welcomed us into the world of cryptids and conspiracy with the Pines family and their beloved Mystery Shack. I’ll spare you the brief (but very real) existential crisis about the passage of time and the weight of age slowly crushing our youth and instead put the spotlight on the series creator, Alex Hirsch, who decided to celebrate his hit show’s 10th birthday as only he could: by annoying the hell out of some Disney executives....

The Time Traveler’s Wife Review: A Troubling Tale Of Love And Loss That’s Too Shallow To Thrive HBO By Shania Russell/May 11, 2022 12:00 pm EST Steven Moffat’s take on “The Time Traveler’s Wife” has been a long time coming, as fans of his “Doctor Who”-era know all too well. The story served as inspiration for his award-winning episode “The Girl in the Fireplace,” and shades of the main romance would later appear in characters like River Song and Amy Pond; women who embraced a life of adventure by attaching themselves to a charismatic time traveler and becoming his fiery partner-in-crime....

Mulder ran out of things to do 20th Television Duchovny sued Fox, and the case eventually settled out of court for $20 million. Duchovny had signed a contract to remain on “The X-Files” through the seventh season. Once his contract was up, he elected not to re-up. Rumors at the time speculated that Duchovny was leaving the show to pursue a film career. Also, in a few interviews in 1999, Duchovny had also said that there wasn’t anywhere else for Mulder to do as a character....

Why There’s So Much Symmetry In Wes Anderson Films Focus Features By Sandy Schaefer/Jan. 7, 2022 8:49 am EST Describe a movie or TV show as having a “Wes Anderson-style” look, and those familiar with the quirky director’s work will quickly form a picture in their mind. Anderson has become notorious for using the same set of stylistic techniques over and over in his films: smooth camera moves that stay in a single flat space; slow-motion shots (often depicting one or more people walking) set to vintage pop songs; highly detailed sets that look like life-size dollhouses....

Year Of The Vampire: In Thirst, Park Chan-Wook Took The Lust For Life To Its Bloodiest Limits Focus Features By Joshua Meyer/May 31, 2022 11:00 am EST (Welcome to Year of the Vampire, a series examining the greatest, strangest, and sometimes overlooked vampire movies of all time in honor of “Nosferatu,” which turns 100 this year.)

You Won’t Be Alone: Release Date, Cast, And More Focus Features By Kaylee Dugan/Jan. 12, 2022 3:37 pm EST I love a movie title that is also a command. You’re right, director Goran Stolevski, I won’t be alone, but I don’t know about Noomi Rapace. If you’re into a weird gothic tale, something that will unnerve you but won’t make you pee your pants, a movie you can talk about at a distinguished dinner party but still weird out some of the guests, I’d recommend you put “You Won’t Be Alone” at the top of your 2022 watchlist....

10 Movies To Watch If You Loved Ambulance Universal Pictures By Lyvie Scott/April 8, 2022 5:09 pm EST There’s something weirdly comforting about a Michael Bay film. Sure, they’re corny at best and ham-fistedly pro-military at worst — but when it all comes together, they’re delightfully uncomplicated and effortlessly cool. Bay’s latest, “Ambulance,” is certainly that kind of film, though it still manages to get a few heartfelt licks in between its gratuitous drone shots....

Arrested Development Was Meant To Be Improvised — But The Writing Was Too Good By Natalia Keogan/April 26, 2022 4:47 pm EST Arguably one of the best TV comedies of all time, every single episode of “Arrested Development” is brimming with memorable dialogue.

Blonde Director Promises ‘NC-17’ Marilyn Monroe Movie, Doesn’t Care Who Has A Problem With It MGM By Shania Russell/Feb. 11, 2022 2:54 pm EST Ana de Armas stans are having a rough go of it. Between her glorious but much too brief appearance in “No Time To Die,” the ever-elusive existence of “Deep Water,” the constant “Blonde” delays, and that time they spent $3.99 on a movie she’s not even in, life is hard....
