Voldemort’s Makeup Was A Miserable Experience For Ralph Fiennes Warner Bros. By Mike Shutt/June 8, 2022 5:46 pm EST The movie images that haunt my mind are rarely from places you would expect. For instance, there is a scene in Park Chan-wook’s incredible film “The Handmaiden” where Kim Tae-ri’s character shares a powerful intimate moment with Kim Min-hee’s character by filing her tooth. The intention is clear. One character literally has the other’s fingers in her mouth....
Warner Bros. Has No Plans To Move The Batman Just Yet Warner Bros. Pictures By Jenna Busch/Jan. 10, 2022 7:03 pm EST The pandemic rages on, and I’m very tempted to use a certain quote about getting out and being pulled back in. Every time we think things are getting better, we get a new variant (I blame Loki), people refuse to wear masks, or something else awful happens. I don’t need to remind you, I’m sure....

The Spot Explained Sony Pictures By Lyvie Scott/June 13, 2022 1:58 pm EST It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Spider-Man is one of the greatest and most versatile superheroes of all time. Of course, there’s so much to love about the ol’ webslinger, but a hero is also only as good as his villains — and for the record, Spidey has some of the coolest around....
Star Trek: The Original Series Paramount It’s important to realize just how big of an impact Khan had on humanity in the “Star Trek” timeline. He was part of a eugenics program that was intended to create a race of superhumans, and 1993 (remember, “Trek” was originally produced in the ’60s), these genetically-engineered people took over more than 40 nations, and Khan himself became absolute ruler of about one-quarter of the planet....
‘Apples’ Review: A Pandemic Movie, But Make It Greek Weird Wave [TIFF 2020] Feelgood Entertainment No one needs to use the word “pandemic” in Christos Nikou’s “Apples” for the overarching mood of a world rankled by a mysterious, unexplainable illness to come through. Six months of living in coronavirus limbo has been enough to rewire the brain so thoroughly that a jarring, “Children of Men”-style dystopian opener is not necessary to communicate that nature has brought society to its knees....
10 Characters We’d Love To See In The Batman 2 Warner Bros. By Leah Marilla Thomas/March 11, 2022 11:49 am EST While no sequel to Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” has been formally announced, that hasn’t stopped fans of the film from speculating about what the sequel could be about … and which new characters a sequel might introduce. Matt Reeves’ 2022 film gave us new versions of not just Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) but also Jim Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth, the Riddler, Oswald Cobblepot (aka The Penguin), Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman), and even a glimpse at The Joker … allegedly....
A Brief Introduction to Charissa Barton HBO Max Charissa Barton is a ridiculously talented choreographer who has worked for The Grammys, American Ballet Theater, Dance Camera West, BC Beat, the Juilliard School, is the co-owner of Axis Connect, and has done so much more. She’s also married to Alan Tudyk, which I know will be of huge interest to many, but Barton deserves her flowers for bigger reasons than who she calls husband....
Ben-Hur Ending Explained: The Human Side Of The Biblical Epic MGM By Anthony Crislip/March 24, 2022 10:48 am EST While the bubble would eventually burst in the early ’60s, the biblical epic was a favorite genre in ’50s Hollywood. Producers and audiences sought bigger and more lavish widescreen productions every year. The religious, ancient-world backdrop of these movies let them film in “exotic” European or Middle Eastern locales and employ armies of extras....

Disenchantment Part 4 Trailer: Princess Bean Has To Save Dreamland… Again Netflix By Danielle Ryan/Jan. 31, 2022 2:29 pm EST Matt Groening’s medieval fantasy animated comedy “Disenchantment” is coming back for another season of hilarious hijinks. “Broad City” star Abbi Jacobson voices Princess Bean, a buck-toothed and befreckled royal rebel who would rather go get drunk with her friends than do any of her official duties. It doesn’t help matters that her two best friends are an elf named Elfo (Nat Faxon) and a personal demon named Luci (Eric André), and the terrible trio are constantly in trouble....

Harley Quinn Season 3 Is Still On Track For A 2022 Release HBO Max By Sandy Schaefer/March 2, 2022 11:20 am EST Now that “Peacemaker” season 1 is over, it’s once again time to look forward to the return of everyone’s other favorite chaotic, ultra-violent, comedic, queer DC antihero TV series with a heart of gold: “Harley Quinn.” The last time we saw Harley (Kaley Cuoco) in the show’s season 2 finale, she and her bestie Ivy (Lake Bell) had finally proclaimed their romantic feelings for one another and were driving off in Ivy and her would-be husband Kite Man’s ride to destinations unknown, the Gotham City Police Department hot on their tail....
A dream is a wish your heart makes Focus Features One scene, in particular, led to the fruition of a years-long dream for one of the actors. In “Downton Abbey: A New Era,” the downstairs staff come upstairs to play extras in Mr. Barber’s film, “The Gambler.” One of those staff members is the much-beloved cook, Mrs. Patmore, played by Lesley Nicol. And, as it was revealed by Robbins, Nicol got to live out a moment she has always wanted....
How Downton Abbey Rejects Ageism Focus Features By Audrey Fox/May 24, 2022 12:00 pm EST This post contains spoilers for “Downton Abbey: A New Era.” In film, and in society at large for that matter, there’s an extremely high premium on youth and beauty. Too often, characters are treated as though they have a rapidly approaching expiration date as soon as they hit 30 — it’s as though they’re in “Logan’s Run,” desperately trying to avoid being sacrificed for the crime of a single gray hair....
How Tom Hanks Found His Signature Accent For Forrest Gump Paramount Pictures By Caroline Madden/June 10, 2022 10:57 am EST Robert Zemeckis’ saccharine drama “Forrest Gump” won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1995 and became a pop culture touchstone.

Michael Bay’s Dog Caused Some Chaos Behind The Scenes Of Ambulance Universal By Sarah Milner/April 7, 2022 8:39 am EST “Ambulance” is another wild and entertaining Michael Bay movie. Following the success of other blockbusters like “Armageddon” and the “Transformer” movies, this 2022 film does what Bay movies do best: overwhelming set pieces and turbo-charged thrills. In the words of /Film’s own Chris Evangelista, “Ambulance” is “one hell of a ride....
Netflix Developing Mobile Game, Animated Series Based On Exploding Kittens (Yes, The Card Game) Exploding Kittens By BJ Colangelo/April 18, 2022 3:15 pm EST The best kind of card game involves intentionally sabotaging other players to transform friends into enemies for a small period of time. In the game of “Exploding Kittens” — created by Elan Lee and Matthew Inman, the brains behind the popular comics site The Oatmeal, and Shane Small — players are able to play as many action cards as they want before drawing a card and praying that they didn’t pull the Exploding Kitten card to kick them out of the game....
