StudioCanal While breaking down scenes from his movies for Vanity Fair, Wright shared a personal anecdote that influenced “Shaun of the Dead”: “It’s worth pointing out that the reason [Shaun] eats the strawberry Cornetto is that when I was at art college, and I was very hungover, I had a hankering for some ice cream in the morning and it really helped my hangover. And after that, for a very long time, the Cornetto became my hangover cure....

Everything You Need To Know About The Zombies In All Of Us Are Dead Netflix By Bee Delores/June 29, 2022 2:35 pm EST “All of Us Are Dead” is one of the year’s best cinematic-level treats.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery: Everything We Know So Far Netflix By Sandy Schaefer/June 13, 2022 2:08 pm EST Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” was everything box office hits weren’t supposed to be when it came out in 2019.

Here’s Where You Can Stream Or Buy Every Season Of Battlestar Galactica Syfy By Lindsay Duke/Dec. 27, 2021 4:22 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There’s a common thought these days that there are some books, shows, or movies that would be tempting to forget, if only so we can experience them for the first time again. Back in college, I binged through all of the “Battlestar Galactica” series that began in 2004 over the course of a few months....
A film with no heroes and everybody dies Warner Bros. “Mars Attacks!” is an anomaly, even for a Tim Burton project. It is a satirical sci-fi movie and an homage to 1950s disaster flicks where Martians attack Earth and inflict ridiculous harm on humans (including putting a Chihuahua’s head on Sarah Jessica Parker’s body). It was Burton’s cynical, comedic take on Hollywood blockbusters, something audiences weren’t quite ready for. This was, after all, smack in the middle of the optimistic Clinton years....

Or, at the very least, he loves talking about his sex. I don’t mean the kind he may or may not have in his own personal time, I don’t know Verhoeven like that. I mean the sex in his movies. Sex that’s laced with danger or sleaze or in the case of his latest movie, “Benedetta,” sacrilege....
Sickness, Storms, And A Kidnapping All Hit The Romeo + Juliet Set 20th Century Studios By Shae Sennett/June 15, 2022 1:55 pm EST Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” is an energetic retelling of Shakespeare’s classic tale of star-crossed lovers. The film is brimming with passion and violence, but did you know that the film was just as chaotic behind the scenes as it was in front of the camera?

Some Behind-The-Scenes Confusion Led To Sigourney Weaver’s Favorite Aliens Scene Being Cut As far as sequels go, James Cameron’s “Aliens” has always been a standout in a series not without lackluster entries like “Alien: Resurrection.” Not only is the film as terrifying as the first, but it’s also a faithful expansion of sci-fi heroine Ellen Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) struggle against her Xenomorph nemesis and the reckless hubris of the Weyland-Yutani organization....
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Review: An Overlong And Exhausting Sequel Paramount Pictures By Josh Spiegel/April 4, 2022 1:00 pm EST The last two years being what they are, I had memory-holed the experience of watching “Sonic the Hedgehog” in the early, pre-COVID days of 2020.

Sadboi Batman is now an international phenomenon Warner Bros. Reeves’ iteration of the iconic superhero is steeped in anguish and pain, and there has never been a sadder, more emo version of the Caped Crusader on the big screen (which is a good thing). Audiences seem to be resonating with this take, along with the portrayal of Gotham at its grimmest, as the film as a whole etches a fun, compelling narrative arc while delving deep into necessary social commentary....
The Beatles: Get Back Is Finally Getting A Blu-Ray Release Disney By Danielle Ryan/May 17, 2022 2:12 pm EST One of the more frustrating aspects of the streaming era is that often media that debuts on streaming never makes the transition to physical copies.
