The Offer Trailer: See The Story About The Greatest Movie Almost Never Made Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/March 23, 2022 11:51 am EST Before we go any further, let’s all be grateful for the fact that I had just enough restraint to avoid filling this entire article with nothing more than pinched finger emojis or nonstop “House of Gucci” references, simply because of the Italian-ness of it all. Or maybe not doing so was an extreme tactical error on my part....

The South Park Guys And Kendrick Lamar Are Making A Live Action Comedy - What We Know So Far Paramount By Natalia Keogan/May 13, 2022 10:22 am EST Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creative minds behind “South Park,” are tackling yet another movie venture — this time with rapper Kendrick Lamar in tow to star.

The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Teaser: The Sparrows Are Coming Netflix By Shania Russell/March 13, 2022 12:45 pm EST TV’s most dysfunctional superhero family is back for round three. Continuing their trend of being utterly chaotic, the Hargreeves heroes have now survived the apocalypse and altered the timeline. Through it all, they never managed to sort out their wide variety of very concerning daddy issues, but there’s no time for that now — they have a multiverse to deal with!...

The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent Trailer: Nicolas Cage Stars In The Role He Was Born To Play: Nicolas Cage Lionsgate By Jeremy Mathai/March 9, 2022 9:01 am EST Now more than ever, I feel the absence of the excellent comedy series “Community” all too sharply — and especially the Nicolas Cage-obsessed Abed (Danny Pudi). If Cage’s filmography as of the season 5 episode “Introduction to Teaching” in 2014 was enough to send Abed into a full-blown meltdown over whether the enigma of an actor ought to be considered “good” or “bad,” then we can only imagine how would he would have reacted upon seeing the news that Cage is now attached to play Dracula in the upcoming “Renfield,” the actor’s shockingly moving performance in last year’s “Pig,” or, on the exact opposite end of the spectrum, his gloriously meta role as, you guessed it, himself in the upcoming “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent....

Why Magnolia Has So Many References To The Book Of Exodus New Line Cinema By Joshua Meyer/March 28, 2022 11:17 am EST Even before it went into limited release in late 1999, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia,” seemed to tease biblical connections with an enigmatic movie poster depicting a rain of frogs. The film contains numerous background references to a line of scripture, Exodus 8:2, in which the prophet Moses, seeking to liberate the Israelite people from slavery in Egypt, tells the Egyptian Pharaoh: “If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs....

James Cameron is a crier? 20th Century Studios Saldaña said of the new film: “I can get choked up just talking about it, because I was able to see just 20 minutes of the second installment right before the year ended, last year. And I was speechless, I was moved to tears. One thing nobody really knows about Jim [Cameron] is that Jim is also a big crier, so… [laughs] […] This story is going to be compelling....

Bruce Willis’ Casting Was Crucial To Getting Pulp Fiction Made Miramax Films By J. Gabriel Ware/June 26, 2022 1:51 pm EST When Quentin Tarantino began casting for “Pulp Fiction,” Miramax wanted a big-name actor attached to the film. When Bruce Willis, a big-name actor who happened to be a big fan of Tarantino’s breakout debut film “Reservoir Dogs,” found out that the director was prepping for his second film, he wanted a role … even if it meant taking a pay cut....

Watch the Clerks III trailer “Clerks III” will take fans back to Leonardo, New Jersey, and to the Quick Stop where Randal and Dante used to play hockey on the roof, argue with the “milkmaids,” and wonder where their lives went wrong. Dante can never really complain that he’s “not supposed to be here today” again, however, since he now owns the place and technically has to be there whenever he’s needed....

Daniel Radcliffe’s Roles Ranked Worst To Best Warner Bros. By Zrinka Peters/Feb. 14, 2022 4:57 pm EST The transition from child star to adult actor is not an easy one. It can be challenging for an actor to take on more serious or provocative roles when the audience has grown to perceive them as a child. For Daniel Radcliffe, that challenge was even bigger since he headlined one of the biggest movie franchises in history....

Groundhog Day’s Biggest Mystery Never Had An Answer Columbia Pictures By Bill Bria/May 5, 2022 12:20 pm EST One of the most beguiling aspects of 1993’s “Groundhog Day” is the way Phil Connors (Bill Murray) becomes trapped inside a time loop, the rules of which are never entirely explained. While the film works brilliantly as a comedy and character study of the arrogant and self-centered Connors learning how to be a better man, Phil learns those lessons by literally being left to his own devices, struggling through trial and error to stop living through February 2 over and over again....

Her Name Is Thor, Not Lady Thor, Thank You Very Much Marvel By Danielle Ryan/April 18, 2022 12:38 pm EST The first teaser trailer for Taika Waititi’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” is here, and along with it is our first look at Natalie Portman as Jane Foster as Thor — a comic book event that’s been teased as becoming part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for some time. With the appearance of Foster as Thor, unfortunately, also comes a whole bunch of fans and outlets calling her “Lady Thor” or worse, “female Thor....

How Mr. Malcolm’s List Star Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù Stepped Into The Shoes Of The Romantic Lead [Interview] Bleecker Street By Lyvie Scott/June 30, 2022 6:46 pm EST Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù is no stranger to intensity. He’s perhaps best known for star-making turns in the 2020 horror “His House” and the infamously-brutal crime drama “Gangs of London.” On stage, Dìrísù has portrayed heavyweight champ Cassius Clay in “One Night in Miami,” and his 2018 portrayal of Coriolanus with Royal Shakespeare Company saw the actor covered in blood from head to toe, “Carrie”-style....

It’s Always Sunny’s Most Intricate Sequence Only Took One Take To Nail FX/Hulu By Shae Sennett/April 28, 2022 3:53 pm EST Television’s longest-running live-action sitcom, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” is renowned for its biting wit but rarely gets enough credit for its cinematic achievements. The show’s expressive handheld camera movements imbue it with a distinctive style to match the offbeat humor. It is a key component of the series, and the creators’ knack for experimentation has made it a fan favorite for over a decade....

Reader discretion is advised. Season 1 of the Netflix original series “Russian Doll” stuck its two protagonists, Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett), into a time loop that forced them to reconcile some of their more selfish tendencies in order to be better people and heal from past trauma....
