Ozark Season 4 Review: Part 1 Proves There’s No Happy Ending In Sight Netflix By Shania Russell/Jan. 18, 2022 1:00 pm EST Ever since they “embraced” their life of crime, the Byrdes have had one foot out the door. Who can blame them? The alternative means accepting their bleak and endlessly dangerous existence. The better option, especially for Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), is to go forth with a bearable ending in sight....
Peacemaker Production Designer Lisa Soper On The Opening Credits And That Warehouse Set Piece [Interview] HBO Max By Jack Giroux/Feb. 15, 2022 2:25 pm EST Production designer Lisa Soper compares working on “Peacemaker” to a roller coaster: It’s big and fast, sometimes daunting, but an absolute thrill. Once she got off the roller coaster, as she put it, she just wanted to go back on it again and again. For the production designer, the series was pure forward-momentum, as well as “incredibly, incredibly rewarding....
Tessa Thompson Describes Valkyrie’s ‘Quite Erotic’ Superpowers – Love And Thunder, Indeed Marvel By Valerie Ettenhofer/Jan. 14, 2022 3:21 pm EST If you’ve lamented the distinct and much-documented lack of sexiness in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (I know I have!), here’s a titillating sip of news to quench your thirst. Tessa Thompson spoke about Valkyrie’s role in “Thor: Love and Thunder” this week, and she described her hero’s powers as “erotic....
The 15 Best Brad Pitt Movies Ranked Sony Pictures Releasing By Liam Gaughan/May 18, 2022 12:17 pm EST Brad Pitt is one of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood. His name has appeared in tabloid headlines for almost 30 years. Not every actor can be as reclusive as Daniel Day-Lewis. Even though Pitt is incredibly popular, he is one of the best actors of his generation. It’s rare for a mainstream star to be so versatile....
The Classic Sci-Fi Movie That Inspired The Hateful Eight The Weinstein Company By Danielle Ryan/Feb. 16, 2022 11:13 am EST Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino loves to pay homage to the films that shaped his own work, but none of his films do this quite as directly as “The Hateful Eight.” The writer/director’s 2015 revisionist western stars Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern, and more in a nail-biting single-location thriller about a group of criminals and generally bad folks hunkering down together at a cabin during a terrible blizzard....
The Horrifying Star Wars Holiday Special Has Been Given An Unofficial 4K Upgrade Lucasfilm/Nick Acosta By Jenna Busch/Dec. 20, 2021 4:32 pm EST I want you to look at Princess Leia’s (Carrie Fisher) face in the photo above. Look at how confused she looks. That’s the look that was on the faces of every single person who watched the “Star Wars Holiday Special” when it aired back in 1978, and every person who’s found a copy or watched it on YouTube since....
The Worst Person In The World Review: A Wistful Anti-Romantic Comedy NEON By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 3, 2022 2:18 pm EST What do we owe to each other? Maybe we don’t owe anything to anyone other than ourselves. The latter seems like a harsh conclusion to come to, but it’s an understandable sentiment coming from “The Worst Person in the World.” Joachim Trier’s dark romantic-comedy is a bit hyperbolic with its title — its protagonist Julie (Renate Reinsve) is frequently selfish and inconsiderate, but by no means the worst — but is no less strong in its emotions, which whirl between disillusioned, dissatisfied, melancholic, and ecstatic....
‘It was important to introduce some new characters’ Paramount Pictures In an interview with Insider (via Variety), “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski (“Tron: Legacy,” “Oblivion”) acknowledged that there were never plans in the first place to bring Charlie back into the action. Set 30 years after the events of the original, “Maverick” clearly maintains an emphasis on a whole new generation of pilots … even if the story goes out of its way to bring in old guns like Maverick and Iceman, as well as some important connections to the past through Miles Teller’s Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw....
Aline Writer/Director/Star Valérie Lemercier On Her Version Of Celine Dion’s Life [Interview] Roadside Attractions/Samuel Goldwyn Films By Jenna Busch/April 5, 2022 5:40 pm EST Celine Dion is the best-selling Canadian artist and French language artist of all time. With musician biopics like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Rocketman,” and the upcoming “Elvis” being potentially huge moneymakers for Hollywood studios, it’s no surprise that Dion would be on the list for that treatment as well....

Not really a superhero show HBO One of the biggest things that make the show unique is the way it approaches its superhero characters. As Lindelof told Entertainment Weekly: “In ‘The Boys,’ you have superpowered individuals in capes that can shoot lasers out of their eyes and fly around and have feats of strength and turn invisible. Nobody on ‘Watchmen’ can do that. So I felt like we wouldn’t be deconstructing the superhero myth because all the characters in ‘Watchmen’ are just humans who play dress up....
Doctor Jekyll: Eddie Izzard To Star In Modern-Day Reimagining Of Jekyll And Hyde Brian Minkoff/Shutterstock By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 7, 2022 7:01 pm EST In 1971, director Roy Ward Baker adapted Robert Louis Stevenson’s legendary 1886 novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,” with a gender subversion twist, giving the world the queer horror classic, “Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde.” The film follows the titular Dr. Jekyll as he looks to create an elixir of everlasting life, extracting the female hormones from fresh corpses as women tend to live longer than men....
Edward Norton’s Fight Club Improv Was More Than Brad Pitt Bargained For By Steven Ward/March 8, 2022 4:53 pm EST As the title makes clear, there’s a beating for almost every character in “Fight Club.” None more so than the film’s unnamed Narrator (Edward Norton), a white-collar worker whose existential troubles spiral out of control when he becomes involved with diabolical soap-salesman Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Hijinks ensue as the two bond over their shared disillusionment, forming a fight club that eventually blossoms under Durden into a multi-cell terrorist operation he names Project Mayhem....
Will’s confession Netflix In more ways than one, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) has been through hell. He’s been tortured, possessed, experimented on, and forced to survive the monster-infested trenches of the Upside Down. And all of that is combined with the everyday struggles of growing up — divorced parents, constant bullying, a friend group that seems to be moving forward without him, and unrequited feelings for his best friend, Mike (Finn Wolfhard)....
“I like to direct things that I really feel that I can dive into and make a statement” Peacock This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. We’re here to talk about your new doc, and you’ve produced some of the biggest movies of all time. Your output is truly prolific, but you seem to be quite a bit more selective about what you direct. So how did you decide this was something you needed to step up to that level for?...
Going Method For Gangs Of New York Made Daniel Day-Lewis Sick Miramax Films By Witney Seibold/April 1, 2022 9:53 am EST Russian actor Konstantin Stanislavski laid out the rules for a revolutionary new system of acting in his 1936 book “An Actor Prepares.” In this new system, actors were meant to cultivate what he called an “art of experiencing” as opposed to an “art of representation.” This means that actors were meant to find a place wherein they could actually experience the emotions that their character would be experiencing — usually by drawing on a similar event in their own lives....
Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul. To Hit Theaters And Peacock In September Focus Features By Joshua Meyer/March 6, 2022 4:13 pm EST Sundance hit “Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.,” which Focus Features and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions acquired for distribution last month, now has a release date. The film, starring Regina Hall and Sterling K.

‘I suddenly saw: it’s funny’ United Artists Releasing That finally changed with the Scott-directed “House of Gucci,” a film in which Adam Driver (as Maurizio Gucci) and Lady Gaga (Patrizia Reggiani) take an impromptu trip to pound-town in the middle of a work-day in the offices of the Reggiani family’s trucking company. It’s a sex scene that not only runs comically long but also walks the line between operatic drama and dark satire, like the rest of the film....
