The upcoming Netflix show “Wednesday” is set to revolve around a teenage Wednesday, who is being played by “Scream” star Jenna Ortega.

Master And Commander Borrowed An Important Piece Of Tech From Titanic By Witney Seibold/March 28, 2022 9:23 am EST It was only because of the release of a certain fantasy film that Peter Weir’s “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” failed to win the Academy Award for Best Picture in early 2004. Based on a series of novels by Patrick O’Brian, “Master and Commander” depicted a several weeks aboard the HMS Surprise, an English warship during the Napoleonic wars....

Moon Knight’s Khonshu Is A Total Jerk, And That’s Great Disney+ By Rafael Motamayor/April 6, 2022 3:00 pm EST This post contains spoilers for “Moon Knight” episode 2. Superhero stories are power fantasies. Whether it’s in comic book form, TV, or film and no matter how tragic the origin story, these stories are inspirational. Whether it’s “Shazam!” or “Captain America,” even “Batman,” superheroes appeal to the innate wish to have some secret ability or to be able to push ourselves beyond what we think we are capable of....

Movies Like Don’t Look Up That You Should Stream Right Now Netflix By Liam Gaughan/March 1, 2022 10:40 am EST Released in December, Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up” quickly became one of the most divisive movies of 2021. Reviews have been split down the middle, with some critics enjoying how McKay satirizes American ignorance and others finding it pandering and unfunny. The mixed response certainly hasn’t pulled any attention away from McKay’s latest: “Don’t Look Up” received four Academy Award nominations, and has become one of the biggest films in Netflix history....

Direct or regret Paramount Hitchcock, the “Master of Suspense,” has influenced filmmakers all over the world, but his fingerprints can easily be found in Park’s work. From how he builds tension to how he deals with lascivious subject matter with a wry smile, Park’s work feels like a more explicit direct descendant of Hitchcock’s style. So it makes complete sense that his lightbulb moment when it came to directing was after watching one of Hitchcock’s masterpieces....

You might want to reconsider investing in that smart home security system....

Strange New Worlds Paramount It’s worth remembering that no “Star Trek” series started at its peak. The first two seasons of “Next Generation” and “Deep Space Nine” experienced growing pains, and multiple episodes featured dodgy writing or strange character choices. “Voyager” didn’t pick up in the ratings until the introduction of Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) in the fourth season, and some would say “Enterprise” didn’t really start kicking until season three....

Two 2-hour episodes Netflix Series creators the Duffer Brothers previously issued a statement regarding “Stranger Things” season 4, saying that it ran “over eight-hundred pages” in teleplay form, which is crazy, considering that one page generally equals about a minute of screen time.

The Best Roles The Sopranos Cast Has Landed Since The Show Ended HBO By Jenn Adams/April 25, 2022 7:51 pm EST “The Sopranos” is widely considered to be the tipping point that kicked off TV’s golden age. David Chase’s HBO drama about a mob boss who struggles with his mental health premiered in January of 1999 and went on to revolutionize small-screen programming.

The scene that would become the impetus for the entire series....
