Yes, awards season is upon us once more, and the latest update comes courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens and Rosario Dawson, who announced the nominations for the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards via Instagram Live today....

The Most Iconic Jackass Cameo Take a trip back with me to 2002, when the original “Jackass” TV show was an American darling, coming to a close with its third season after making a splash on MTV. That’s when one Mr. Brad Pitt met Knoxville at “Jackass” executive producer Spike Jonze’s house. “He was saying he really wanted to do something with us,” Knoxville told MTV News in September 2006. “We were filming the last episode....

The opening theme of the anime’s The Final Season Part 2, “The Rumbling,” has reached the U.S. Billboard charts after its release on January 22, 2022, and it currently stands at #2 on Billboard’s “Hot Hard Rock Songs” chart. According to Anime News Network, music company Pony Canyon reported that “The Rumbling” has received over 10 million playbacks within the initial week of release on major streaming platforms, while the official opening theme video on Pony Canyon’s YouTube channel has garnered over 30 million views so far....

Bullet Train Trailer: The World’s Unluckiest Assassin Catches A Train (To Hell) Sony Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/June 7, 2022 10:48 am EST Who can’t relate to having to put up with a seemingly never-ending slog of bad luck? Of course, when one’s occupation happens to involve killing people, that tends to complicate matters slightly a bit more than stubbing a toe on a table or missing the bus. I would assume, at least....

Chucky is the best Garbage Pail Kid USA/Syfy Inspired by sales stampedes over (let’s face it, creepy) Cabbage Patch Kid dolls in the 1980s, Mancini wound up creating a knife-wielding doll character who would fit right in with the Garbage Pail Kids instead. He wrote the script for the first “Child’s Play” before United Artists bought it and brought in other co-writers, pushing him to the background, according to Brad Dourif, who taught Mancini at Columbia University and went on to provide the voice of Charles Lee Ray, the serial killer possessing the Chucky doll....

Director Alejandro G. Inarritu Pushed The Revenant’s Crew A Little Too Far By Steven Ward/April 12, 2022 10:09 am EST To make an omelet, one needs to break some eggs. Making a film is only slightly different in that instead of a few fragile shells, you need an entire film crew. For Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the idiom’s core idea held true working on “The Revenant.” But in the eyes of the daring director, a lot needed to be sacrificed and endured if they were going to make a film about the excruciating journey of Hugh Glass....

Dr. Strangelove Ending Explained: We’ll Meet Again Hawk Films/Colombia Pictures By Lee Adams/March 25, 2022 2:49 pm EST Is nuclear war a suitable subject for comedy? Stanley Kubrick certainly thought so. During his research for his masterful Cold War satire, “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,” he came to see comedy as the only sensible way of doing the subject real justice. Having bought the film rights to Peter George’s novel, “Red Alert,” he started out with the goal of making a serious drama....

Former Disney Channel Stars Who Starred In Horror Movies Universal Pictures By Chad Collins/May 26, 2022 3:19 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There’s a certain novelty to Disney Channel stars who shed their network constraints and move on to bigger, better things. Selena Gomez has been killing it on “Only Murders in the Building” and Zendaya has not only starred in “Dune,” but she won an Emmy for her role on HBO’s “Euphoria....

Get Ready For The Sherlock Holmes Universe, Courtesy Of Robert Downey Jr. And HBO Max Warner Bros. By Valerie Ettenhofer/April 5, 2022 3:09 pm EST Is it the 2010s in here or is it just me? 11 years after Robert Downey Jr. last donned his bowler hat to play Sherlock Holmes on screen, the actor is set to executive produce not one but two Holmes-related shows that are in development for HBO Max, per The Hollywood Reporter....

Hail Mary: Boardwalk Empire’s Jack Huston And Westworld’s Angela Sarafyan Will Star In Biblical Fantasy MGM/Paramount By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 8, 2022 9:48 am EST If you saw the fallen-angel rock monsters in Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah” and thought, “I would like more biblical fantasy films, please,” then the upcoming “Hail Mary” might be right up your alley. Bonus points if you thought, “I would like at least two actors from prestige HBO dramas to star as angels....

A Series That Knows That It Needs to End Sony Pictures It’s hard to know for sure if the feeling that “Hotel Transylvania: Transformania” is less clever and snappy than its predecessors is due to the absence of Sandler and Tartakovsky. (James, too, is absent here, which is something of a shame because Frankenstein’s transformation into a suaver, buffer human leads to some of the few truly successful jokes in exploring how the monsters take to being humans....

How Bob’s Burgers Blurs The Line Between Acting And Improv By Matthew Bilodeau/May 24, 2022 9:55 am EST What makes the Belchers stand out among their dysfunctional animated family counterparts is their approach to embracing one another’s weirdness. Bob (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin), Linda (John Roberts), Gene (Eugene Mirman), Louise (Kristen Schaal), and Tina (Dan Mintz) are anything but normal. You can’t stop Gene from using fart machines, just like you can’t stop Tina from writing erotic friend fiction....

How Logan’s Script Immediately Interested Patrick Stewart James Mangold’s 2017 film “Logan” remains one of the best superhero movies ever made. In a world wherein superhero stories have gained a great deal of success by continuing stories indefinitely (it’s difficult to imagine the phrase “this will be the last Avengers movie” even being uttered aloud), Mangold and his co-screenwriters Scott Frank and Michael Greene offered something unique: A final, meaningful conclusion....

Jeremy Renner, Renner-sance Man Paramount Pictures The man, the myth, the legend. Jeremy Renner. You might think that the actor’s sudden career swerve towards community renovations comes somewhat out of nowhere, but you’d be mistaken, dear reader! As we’ve come to realize, there is much more to the somewhat underappreciated actor than meets the eye. This seemingly random interest in developing “Rennervations” — I’m sorry, but I’m going to find every excuse possible to keep typing that title out; it’s delightful – does, in fact, make a certain amount of sense....

Jurassic Park Continued The Legacy Of An Old-School Special Effects Legend Universal Pictures By Christian Gainey/May 19, 2022 8:36 am EST Steven Spielberg movies grab us by the collar, pop us into a world of wonder, and make us forget we’re grown-ups with responsibilities. In his world, we’re all curious children. After laying eyes on Spielberg’s prehistoric creatures in “Jurassic Park,” we all become that precocious kid peppering Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) with endless dinosaur questions....

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior’s Stunts Were More Dangerous Than You Think Warner Bros By Adam Wescott/June 4, 2022 1:07 pm EST I never loved cars, but I did take them for granted. At college in Ohio, cars represented the only means other than an irregular shuttle to go anywhere or do anything outside of school. They are essential to the lives of millions of people in the United States and around the world....

Matt Smith Is Confused About His Morbius Character’s Comic Backstory Too Sony Pictures By Debopriyaa Dutta/March 23, 2022 11:35 am EST “Morbius” star Matt Smith is as confused as we are when it comes to understanding his character’s comic backstory in relation to his movie role, according to a report by Screen Rant. The upcoming film has been shrouded in mystery from the get-go, begging questions about whether the characters will be inhabiting the same world as Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” films, and who exactly Smith will be playing as per comic book lore....

Mission: Impossible footage reaction Paramount Pictures The footage from the new film showcases some of the many, many action scenes we will see when Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt returns in the next film. We see shots of him engaged in a fistfight in the middle of a nightclub, then driving in a vehicle with doors ripped off like he was chasing Dominic Toretto. There are also shots of green gas clouds exploding in the middle of a conference room, probably because of Ethan’s shenanigans....

Peaky Blinders Season 6 Will Be A ‘Dry Run’ For The Upcoming Movie Netflix By Kaylee Dugan/March 23, 2022 8:48 pm EST We might be peaking, but “Peaky Blinders” still has a few tricks up its TV sleeves (yes, that was a joke about drugs, you nailed it). In the eternal style of #SixSeasonsAndAMovie, your favorite old time-y English TV show isn’t content to let season 6, which hits Netflix on June 10, 2022, be the final word on the Peaky gang....

Perry Mason Season 2 Recruits Sean Astin, Paul Raci, And More Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Jan. 21, 2022 10:56 am EST Season 1 of HBO Max’s “Perry Mason” series snuck up on quite a few viewers in 2020, taking a darker and more angst-ridden direction than some may have expected while serving as a prequel and origin story for the fictional detective. The character originally appeared in author Erle Stanley Gardner’s crime novels (over 80 of them!...
