Teen comedies have frequently leaned in to the insatiable curiosity of teenagers and their sexual appetites. Raunchy films from the late 1990s and 2000s poked fun at the absolute chaos that could rain down thanks to romantic misadventures, and the trend has since continued to both hilarious and charming effect....

Star Trek: Discovery Took A Page From The Mandalorian’s Playbook Paramount By Collier Jennings/March 15, 2022 4:04 pm EST At first glance, the worlds of “Star Trek” and “Star Wars” couldn’t be more different. One franchise is a science fiction tale about mankind putting aside its petty differences and uniting to travel the stars. The other merges fantasy and sci-fi tropes, resulting in a galaxy with laser swords and space wizards....

The 15 Best Family Movies Of 2021 Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures By Addison Peacock/Dec. 20, 2021 4:07 pm EST 2021 had its fair share of great film releases. From sweeping genre epics like “Dune” and “The Green Knight” to the delightfully absurd comedy of “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” there have been plenty of fun flicks to choose from. But as the weather gets colder, the days grow shorter, and the holiday season begins swirling around us like a blizzard of twinkling lights, it’s time to cozy up on the couch with something the whole family can enjoy....

Police Chief Misty Luggins Universal Pictures Brought to life by the multi-talented Alex Borstein, Police Chief Misty Luggins is a devoted officer of the law. Her interests include bringing the titular bad guys to justice, her passions include taking down the bad guys, and her hobbies include arresting the bad … you get the idea. Luggins is a pretty minor character in the grand scheme of things, but a committed vocal performance from Borstein keeps the character feeling fresh....

Why It’s Essential Viewing DreamWorks Pictures When “Red Eye” was cleared for takeoff in 2005, I was interested. After all, it was a new film from horror legend Wes Craven, and I’m a horror fan. But when I saw the film I came away rather indifferent. I didn’t think the film was bad, mind you. It just didn’t do much for me, and I didn’t really think about it much in the years that followed....

Samwise’s Enduring Loyalty New Line Cinema Keen readers of “The Fellowship of the Ring” know that for the most part, the ending for Jackson’s film follows Tolkien’s manuscript. One glaring difference being the sizable action Jackson gives fans at the end of the film that Tolkien chose to withhold. And while the skeleton of the scene between Frodo and Sam in the movie follows the book, the actual dialogue varies quite a bit....

The Worst Thing Jessica Chastain Had To Do For It: Chapter Two Warner Bros. By Anthony Orlando/April 26, 2022 5:10 pm EST Adapting the other half of Stephen King’s classic horror novel, “It: Chapter Two” follows the now-grown Losers Club when one of their own calls them back to Derry, Maine to destroy the shapeshifting, man-eating entity that tormented them as children: Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Set 27 years after the original 2017 film, Pennywise, or “It” as the creature is commonly called, awakens from his long slumber with a burning vengeance after the Losers previously defeated It in battle....

Upcoming Comedy Movies To Keep On Your Radar MGM By Valerie Ettenhofer/Dec. 29, 2021 10:56 am EST We could all use a laugh, and Hollywood’s slate of upcoming comedy movies is set to deliver some great ones. From the one reality TV reunion we actually want to see, to a movie where Nicolas Cage straight-up plays himself, there’s a comedy for everyone coming up in the near future. Among the highly anticipated sequels and adaptations on this list, there are also some utterly unique original ideas that we hope will connect with audiences, paving the way for studios to greenlight more original comedies....

By Joshua Meyer/Dec. 22, 2021 9:38 am EST This post contains spoilers for “The Matrix Resurrections.” In “The Matrix Resurrections,” the simulated reality inside the Matrix has undergone some changes since moviegoers last caught up with it around the turn of the millennium. One of those changes relates to the antagonistic Agents and the nature of their appearance....

Why John Lithgow Turned Down David Cronenberg’s The Fly In 1986, David Cronenberg had a reputation that preceded him. Having already made “Scanners,” “The Brood,” “Shivers,” “Videodrome,” and “Rabid,” Cronenberg was known in the filmmaking community for his bleak horror and unsettling gore. When Cronenberg completed his work on the Stephen King adaptation “The Dead Zone,” he immediately began working on a film adaptation of the 1966 Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale....

While Adam McKay is enjoying the success of his latest film “Don’t Look Up,” which earned four Academy Award nominations and is one of the most watched films on Netflix, he already has his next directorial project ready to go, though this one is for television....

Working With Michael Caine Left Its Mark On Daniel Radcliffe Lionsgate By Mike Shutt/May 30, 2022 10:29 am EST I will fully admit that I have not thought one second about Jon M. Chu’s 2016 magic heist film “Now You See Me 2” since I left the theater except to continuously bemoan the fact that it was not called “Now You Don’t” (Seriously, how the f*** did they screw that up?...

Cast Away Ending Explained: Time Stops For No One Considering the Tom Hanks drama “Cast Away” has been parodied to hell and back thanks to his friendship with a volleyball named Wilson, many have forgotten that this is a genuinely solid movie about the perseverance of humanity, the need for companionship, what makes life worth living, and the tenacity of the human survival spirit. Directed and produced by Robert Zemeckis, “Cast Away” sees Tom Hanks as a FedEx troubleshooter named Chuck Noland who finds himself stranded on an island after his plane crashes into the ocean....

Hollywood executives are wrong … a lot Sony As you know, the “Ghostbusters” script was eventually greenlit, albeit with revisions, and went on to break countless records at the box office right out of the gate. The film also earned nominations for an Oscar, Golden Globe, and a Grammy (for its iconic theme song). “Ghostbusters,” it seemed, had officially proved the film executives wrong. Fast forward to present day, and the pop culture classic is far from the only project to prove Hollywood executives wrong....

Glory Didn’t Cut Any Corners When It Came To Authenticity Tri-Star Pictures By Jeremy Smith/June 2, 2022 3:27 pm EST Culturally speaking, Edward Zwick’s Civil War drama “Glory” did not hit theaters at the most opportune moment. An ambitious account of the then little-known 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the Union Army’s second African-American regiment, critics approached it with dread. Here, in the wake of Richard Attenborough’s “Cry Freedom” and Alan Parker’s “Mississippi Burning,” was yet another vital chapter of Black history being told not only by a white filmmaker and a white screenwriter (Kevin Jarre), but from the perspective of a white character (in this case, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, played by Matthew Broderick)....

Halo Is Already Getting Its Third Showrunner Before Season 1 Premieres Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 1, 2022 5:32 pm EST Ask any longtime “Halo” fan and they could tell you that the Master Chief’s greatest foes to date include the unstoppable Covenant threat, the enigmatic Forerunners, those incredibly bothersome Flood … and, apparently, creative consistency behind the scenes? Much like the rocky road that led to this property finally making its live-action debut after years of languishing in production purgatory, the “Halo” series itself has also undergone its fair share of shakeups and sudden change....

Here’s When You Can Watch Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City At Home Sony Pictures By Anya Stanley/Jan. 5, 2022 5:16 pm EST A deadly organism breaks out of a corporate lab and dooms us all — the cinematic horror universe established by Paul W.S. Anderson keeps mutating like a persistent virus, and the latest variant is ready to invade your home. After a theatrical release in November of last year netting a worldwide total of $31....
