Father Of The Bride Trailer: Celebrating Something Old But Making It New HBO Max By BJ Colangelo/May 9, 2022 3:41 pm EST It’s been over 30 years since the first of the Nancy Meyers and Steve Martin “Father of the Bride” films debuted and now, just in time for wedding season, HBO Max is giving the beloved rom-com an update. This will be the second remake of Vincente Minnelli’s original 1950 film based on the Edward Streeter novel of the same name, but let’s be honest with ourselves and admit if anyone says “Father of the Bride,” our brains immediately go to Steve Martin....

HBO’s House Of The Dragon Cost Far Less Per Episode Than Stranger Things 4 HBO By Danielle Ryan/April 22, 2022 1:01 pm EST Creating a fantasy world with elaborate costumes, finely decorated sets, and lots of computer-generated dragons is bound to be expensive, but somehow the folks at HBO managed to create episodes of the upcoming “Game of Thrones” prequel series, “House of the Dragon,” for far less than Netflix is spending on its upcoming season of “Stranger Things....

Slobs vs Snobs Universal Pictures As a director and producer, Ivan Reitman began his career rather unceremoniously with “Foxy Lady” and “Cannibal Girls,” but he found his niche in frequently pitting lovable losers and sarcastic slobs against the snobbiest members of high society and authority. The Canadian filmmaker helped launch the big screen career of “Saturday Night Live” cast member John Belushi by producing the classic comedy “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” a groundbreaking, chaotic frat house comedy which not only incited many drunken nights at universities everywhere, but resulted in many imitators in media, including the short-lived TV series adaptation “Delta House,” which he executive produced a year after the film premiered....

James Gunn Wants To Make A ‘Modern Continuation’ Of Knight Rider With David Hasselhoff — Yes, Really Universal By Jenna Busch/Jan. 7, 2022 10:50 am EST If that headline made you tilt your head like a dog hearing a weird sound, you are not alone. Mine did the same. Yes, “The Suicide Squad” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn tweeted (via CBR) in response to a question about rebooting classic TV series, saying that he and David Hasselhoff had discussed doing a modern continuation of the 1982 series “Knight Rider....

Nine Days Finally Let Benedict Wong Be Himself Sony Pictures Classics By Lyvie Scott/May 9, 2022 12:04 pm EST There are certain actors that you’d never know are actually British until you hear them speak in real life. Marvel’s Cinematic Universe employs a surprising number of Brits: to this day fans are shocked that Tom Holland, who plays the Queens-bred Spider-Man, was born in Kingston upon Thames. Then, of course, there’s Benedict Cumberbatch — whose name alone is quintessentially British — but few fans are aware that his “Doctor Strange” co-star, Benedict Wong, also hails from across the pond....

Ray Liotta Had A Fantastic Cameo On Just Shoot Me That People Should Revisit Sony Pictures Television By Natalia Keogan/May 26, 2022 5:32 pm EST While the late, great Ray Liotta will likely be immortalized due to his riveting work in the crime drama realm, we shouldn’t gloss over the actor’s comedic sensibilities. Whether the comedic cruelty of his character Ray Sinclair in “Something Wild,” the playful spirit of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson in “Field of Dreams,” or imposing cellmate Big Papa in the delightful “Muppets Most Wanted,” Liotta’s acting chops were not solely reserved for thrilling capers....

Why It’s Essential Viewing This show might sound strange on paper, but you won’t be able to stop watching once you start. Your fandoms may change once you know who has the guts (oh, those poor guts) to handle their hot sauce. Padma Lakshmi was so poised while eating the hottest of wings. I mean, she has to eat some crazy stuff on “Top Chef,” but she didn’t crack once. It was an impressive feat....

The Loki Lesson Michael Waldron Took To Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness [Exclusive] Disney+/Marvel Studios By Sandy Schaefer/May 2, 2022 12:52 pm EST There are a lot of moving parts in any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. From pre-viz and concept art to reshoots and visual effects requiring months of tinkering in post-production, the MCU’s films are constantly being changed, both before and well after shooting. It’s why it’s kind of a miracle when the final product feels like the handiwork of a single guiding vision....

The Matrix Resurrections Spoiler Review: Plenty Of Déjà Vu In A Sequel That’s Glitchy But Game Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/Dec. 23, 2021 9:06 am EST “What is the Matrix?” The question that once drove Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) mad has led him and us — “inexorably,” as the system’s Architect would say — to a fourth installment in the franchise, “The Matrix Resurrections.” It’s the very definition of a legacy sequel, in that it comes further along in the series timeline and commingles new characters with beloved old ones....

The Wall Warner Bros./DC Entertainment After initially appearing in the recap of “The Suicide Squad” at the top of the episode, Waller shows up around 36 minutes into “Peacemaker” episode 1. We hear her speaking first, then quickly see that she’s talking to Leota Adebayo, the rookie of Peacemaker’s team. Up until this point, Leota’s backstory is pretty ambiguous. The character (played by Danielle Brooks of “Orange Is The New Black” fame) is a new recruit to ARGUS who took the gig as a temporary measure to build up some savings for her, her wife, and their dogs....

Will There Be A Ms. Marvel Season 2? Here’s What We Know Marvel Studios By Lyvie Scott/June 9, 2022 12:46 pm EST The longevity of a Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series is not always guaranteed. Of course, there are some exceptions — like “Loki” and “What If…”, which have both been confirmed for another season — but for the most part, each series so far has been a one-and-done spin-off for Marvel’s lesser-represented characters....
