Bojack Horseman Ending Explained: Yeah, It Was Nice While It Lasted Netflix By Steven Ward/June 16, 2022 12:36 pm EST They say time heals all wounds, But evidently, two years hasn’t been long enough to soothe the sting of the “Bojack Horseman” season finale, arriving as a two-part gut punch that began with the surreal “The View from Halfway Down” and ending with the emotional K.O. of “Nice While It Lasted....
Brian Cox Was The Original Choice For Robert Baratheon On Game Of Thrones HBO By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 14, 2022 9:34 pm EST “Succession” premiered on HBO while “Game of Thrones” was in the home stretch of its eight-season run, and it has since gone on to make Brian Cox into more of a household name. Cox was already a well-known character actor who had appeared in many Hollywood movies, not to mention a veteran of Shakespearean theater and the London stage....
Chris Hemsworth Had One Condition For Making Thor: Love And Thunder Marvel Studios By Ryan Scott/June 16, 2022 2:43 pm EST Chris Hemsworth made his debut as the God of Thunder in the Marvel Cinematic Universe more than a decade ago in 2011’s “Thor.” The actor has had quite the career since, but during that span of time, he has spent the vast majority of his time as the godly superhero in a trio of solo films along with four “Avengers” appearances....

Creators the Duffer Brothers love to inject references to pop culture from the era into every episode, and season 4 is chock-full of Easter eggs to both the previous seasons and everything popular in 1986. There are simply too many Easter eggs to collect into one article, so we’ve broken them down episode by episode for your egg-hunting enjoyment....
Everything A24 “Everything Everywhere All at Once” operates at a sprint. In the spirited, specific, and extremely charming opening scenes, we meet the Wangs, Chinese-Americans who operate a struggling laundromat and live in a cramped apartment on the second floor. Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) is despondent, bored, and prone to distraction, her life an endless cycle of disappointment. Her husband, Waymond (Ke Huy Quan), is bubbly and well-meaning, a glass-half-full kind of guy who wears a fanny pack and a smile and really does seem to be trying too damn hard, huh?...
Fullmetal Alchemist Gets Two New Live-Action Films To Close Out The Series Warner Bros. Pictures/Netflix By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 2, 2022 10:48 am EST “Fullmetal Alchemist” is a staple for all anime/manga lovers, given that it is a coming-of-age tale about two brothers who come into their own while navigating a world founded on alchemical transmutation. The first foray into the story’s live-action adaptation was made by 2017’s “Fullmetal Alchemist,” which was a disappointment on many fronts, from certain characters being miscast to emulating a comic book film (not in the best way)....
Gran Torino Ending Explained: Clint Eastwood Confronts Dirty Harry Warner Bros. Pictures By Lee Adams/May 10, 2022 10:00 am EST When we first meet Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) at the beginning of “Gran Torino,” he isn’t a very nice man. We might forgive his crankiness a little because he is mourning the recent loss of his wife of 50 years, but then we also get the sense that the worst aspects of his personality aren’t just to do with grief....

Netflix has just released the full first season of an adorable YA romance that’s so warm and tingly, it’s capable of thawing even the iciest of hearts.

How The Cannes Film Festival Set The Stage For Lord Of The Rings Frank Micelotta Archive/Getty Images By Collier Jennings/April 12, 2022 3:07 pm EST Could you imagine life without the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy? Without it, the fantasy genre may not have that big of a foothold in pop culture — which means shows like “Game of Thrones” and “The Legend of Vox Machina” may not have taken off like they did....
‘A walking anachronism’ Sony Pictures Releasing Tarantino already helmed one Elmore Leonard adaptation, “Jackie Brown,” and he worked with Olyphant in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” so he seemed like a natural fit for “Justified: City Primeval.” If he really has stepped away from the project, that’s a bummer, but it’s always possible, given the relative vagueness of the Variety report, that he could still be circling the project, though Screen Magazine’s sources would appear to indicate otherwise....
The familiarity of television Focus Features Prior to “Downton Abbey,” Maggie Smith had not really done much television. She would take on a miniseries here or there or have a recording of a play air on the tube, but the small screen was not her domain. She thrived on film and on stage. Television, particularly of the soapy variety that is “Downton Abbey,” allows the audience a different relationship with the performers....
Megan Footage Reaction: Allison Williams Battles A Creepy Doll [CinemaCon 2022] Blumhouse Horror By BJ Colangelo AND Ryan Scott/April 27, 2022 8:17 pm EST If you’ve been craving new horror with the chaotic energy of “Malignant,” the newest film from Blumhouse may be just what you’ve been looking for. The winning combination of Akela Cooper (“Malignant,” “Luke Cage,” “Hell Fest,”) as the screenwriter tackling a story by James Wan returns for a film called “M3GAN....
Movies Like Moneyball You Definitely Need To See Sony Pictures By Liam Gaughan/Dec. 27, 2021 7:34 pm EST A decade after its release, “Moneyball” remains one of the best sports films of the 21st century. A story centered on a general manager who analyzes statistics in order to build a championship-caliber baseball team may not inherently seem exciting, but Bennett Miller’s emotional rollercoaster ride defied expectations by showing how this new strategy impacted players, managers, and fans....

Everyone is feeling a little nostalgic these days for when things felt normal. Now you can take a trip back in time – before former late night TV host David Letterman became Santa Claus – with his new YouTube channel.

The Crow Miramax With its hyper-gothic style and iconic soundtrack, the 1994 adaptation of “The Crow” (based on the comic book series by James O’Barr) is a fascinating piece of ’90s filmmaking. The movie centers on Eric Draven (Brandon Lee), a murdered musician who is brought back to life by a supernatural crow. As Eric begins to put the pieces together of the events that led to his death, he takes on the task of slaying the criminals that killed him and his fiancée, Shelly (Sofia Shinas)....
Pam & Tommy Shows Just How Awful The Media Was To Women In The ’90s Hulu By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/Feb. 16, 2022 10:01 am EST Episode 1 of “Pam & Tommy” opens with a fictionalized version of an interview between longtime late night host Jay Leno and “Baywatch” alumna Pamela Anderson. The scene struck me as being particularly sleazy, and I thought to myself, “there’s no way a respected, mainstream television host would get away with that behavior today....
Hollywood could be doing more to help Paramount Pictures Disney was the first of the major U.S. studios to show its support for Ukraine and condemn Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion when it pulled all of its movies from Russia’s release schedule, starting with Pixar’s animated film “Turning Red” (which will stream as a Disney+ exclusive in the U.S.). Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures were quick to follow suit by halting the Russian debuts of their respective comic book superhero tentpoles “The Batman” and “Morbius,” implying they may do the same with other movies over the months ahead, depending on how the invasion unfolds....

The series is doing well enough that, unlike the first two seasons which only had eight episodes each, this new season has 11....

At least, that’s what I think they should do. The only thing we really know is that Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos himself has signed off on season 2 of “Squid Game,” the show all of your coworkers were Slack-ing about for a month straight....
