By Sandy Schaefer/Jan. 25, 2022 12:40 pm EST It is a truth universally acknowledged that people will always have strong opinions on who plays Batman.

The Best Characters In The Book Of Boba Fett Ranked Lucasfilm By Nick Bartlett/Feb. 16, 2022 12:43 pm EST Is there a more polarizing Star Wars character than Boba Fett? With an unused spare prototype “super trooper” outfit on hand, George Lucas created one of the most popular supporting characters of the franchise, who was eventually repurposed as a bounty hunter and took on a life of his own in the expanded universe....

West Side Story 20th Century Studios Now streaming on HBO Max and Disney+. A lot of people skipped “West Side Story” in theaters. That’s depressing! But now, Steven Spielberg’s vibrant, wonderful update of the classic musical is streaming in two different places, and I hope it will finally find the audience it deserves. Not only is this is a great movie, but it’s also one of Spielberg’s best, and that’s saying something....

The Doctor Strange Multiverse Explained Marvel Studios By Scott Thomas/May 9, 2022 4:48 pm EST With “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” the conceit of multiple Marvel universes has well and truly arrived. It seemed like a red herring in “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” It was the plot engine of “Loki” and last year’s Peter Parker-filled smash, “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Now, in the hands of director Sam Raimi, it’s a playground of horrors that catalyzes heavily-advertised cameos, magic sheet-music battles, and heroes fighting Darkhold-possessed versions of themselves....

The Guest II? Picturehouse As much as Dan Stevens gets all the credit for “The Guest,” we’d be remiss not to praise the excellent work Maika Monroe does as the Final Girl of the film. Doused with neon lighting, blasted by a percussive soundtrack, and truly put through the wringer against a man who is far more sinister than anyone could’ve expected, Monroe plays off of Stevens flawlessly and both characters narrowly make it to the end of the runtime intact....

Cobra Kai Never Dies Netflix As a huge fan of the series, I’m stoked that there are some exciting merchandise coming out ahead of season 4. You’re damn right that I will binge “Cobra Kai” as soon as it drops on Netflix. The Playmates action figure mash-up makes me reminiscent of my childhood and all the action figures that I would play with as a kid.

Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park Universal Pictures David Koepp is the man who partnered with Spielberg to actually turn the “Jurassic Park” novel into a timeless blockbuster. But initially, it was Crichton himself who took a crack at adapting his own material. The author was given a rich deal for the book rights and then was paid an additional $500,000 for his script. Various drafts of his screenplay made their way online over the years but, long before the movie ever even entered production, he teased that the movie would allow “Spielberg to work somewhere between the poles of ‘Jaws’ and ‘E....

Going green again Sony Pictures Releasing After teaming up with director James Wan to make their names in the horror genre with the original “Saw” and “Insidious” movies (along with their 2007 horror film “Dead Silence,” which is better than you might’ve heard), Leigh Whannell made the jump from writer to writer and director with 2015’s mostly-solid “Insidious: Chapter 3.” However, it was his 2018 sci-fi horror-thriller “Upgrade” and “The Invisible Man” reboot in 2020 that really established Whannell’s bonafides as a filmmaker with an eye for visually-innovative (and very bloody) action scenes and scary moments, coupled with stories that explore rich, timely ideas and themes....
