The Cast Of Twilight Went On To Make Some Great Horror Movies A24 By Bee Delores/May 12, 2022 3:03 pm EST It’s long-overdue to properly reassess the “Twilight” series as the vampiric masterpiece it is.

It’s been an astounding decade since the saga’s final entry, 2012’s “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2,” and since then, many performers have gone on to shatter expectations and carve our impressive careers....

The Star Trek: Lower Decks Gag We’ll Sadly Never Get To See Paramount By Witney Seibold/Feb. 25, 2022 4:03 pm EST “Star Trek: Lower Decks” has managed to pull off a seemingly impossible task in that it functions as both fan service, and as a show with an identity of its own. While the characters have emerged as fully-realized entities, and the show is an excellent workplace comedy, every single episode of “Lower Decks” is lousy with Easter eggs, dropping in minute references to previous “Star Trek” episodes that only the deepest-cut Trekkies would understand....

Turning Red Featurette Showcases The Film’s Real-Life Origins Pixar By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 26, 2022 9:39 am EST “Turning Red” is turning heads already for a number of reasons, over and above the metamorphosis of its central character, Mei Lee (Rosalie Chiang), into a giant red panda whenever she gets too worked up.

Wall-E’s Origins Go Back To The Earliest Days Of Pixar Pixar Animation Studios/Walt Disney Pictures By Lee Adams/July 5, 2022 9:20 am EST It’s easy when you’re a kid to give just about anything a personality of its own. It doesn’t have to be a toy; it could be an old shoe, an empty bottle, or a weirdly shaped stick. Give it a voice and move it around a bit and, hey presto, another character to play with....

Why Bam Margera Barely Appears In Jackass Forever Paramount Pictures By Soham Gadre/Jan. 14, 2022 3:51 pm EST “Jackass” is a franchise that has tested the limits the human mind and body with a litany of crazy, gross, weird, and all-out insane stunts that the whole crew took part in. But sometimes, the lifestyle of cast members would go a little overboard and into some darker territory. Such was the case for Bam Margera, who was long a fixture on the show and movie series, and is curiously absent from “Jackass Forever....

Ang Lee Has Some Conflicting Thoughts On How He Handled Hulk Universal By Sandy Schaefer/May 11, 2022 5:18 pm EST After the success of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000, director Ang Lee signed on to helm Universal’s “Hulk,” the long-developing film adaptation of the Marvel comic books. Keep in mind, superhero movies were in a very different place at the time. “X-Men” had only just hinted at the genre’s future box office dominance, building on the modest success of “Blade” in 1998....

Animal House Was Once A Completely Different Movie About Charles Manson In High School Universal By Bill Bria/March 23, 2022 7:36 pm EST “National Lampoon’s Animal House” seems like a no-brainer idea in hindsight, a “slobs vs. snobs” comedy that jumped on the ’50s/’60s nostalgia wave of the ’70s while being generic enough to remind several generations of their wild college days. However, as the flagship theatrical effort from the National Lampoon brand, “Animal House” was hardly written overnight....

‘Like trying to get blood from a stone’ Hulu DiMaggio called the respect he got from colleagues over his fight for higher pay “quite rewarding,” while adding that “trying to get money out of Disney is like trying to get blood from a stone — you ain’t gonna get it!” In a voice work industry known for lack of pay transparency and undervalued artists, the actor is surprisingly frank about the circumstances surrounding what he calls his “David vs....

‘Every rejection, every disappointment has led you here to this moment’ A24 Despite their previous film, the farting corpse of Daniel Radcliffe starring “Swiss Army Man” generating massive acclaim from critics, the film only brought in a paltry $4.9 million in global box office revenue upon release in 2016. “Everything Everywhere All At Once” marked the big screen return of Ke Huy Quan, an actor known almost exclusively for his work as a child actor in films like “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” “The Goonies....
