Why Season 5 Of Black Mirror Is Better Than You Remember Netflix By Michael Boyle/May 25, 2022 3:13 pm EST After a lot of behind-the-scenes complications, “Black Mirror” is officially returning for a sixth season on Netflix. Now that fans have something to look forward to again, it’s worth looking back on the show’s most widely-derided string of episodes: season 5. The season started off with “Striking Vipers,” an episode whose biggest claim to fame was the “I f**ked a polar bear” line....

What’s the matter? The food ain’t that bad When speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Scott realized that he had made a genuinely terrifying scene when the audience he watched the final movie with was reacting so viscerally. While he didn’t go into detail on this audience, it shouldn’t be a surprise that people were scared witless considering how it established the terror of the Xenomorphs can be anywhere, even your own body....

Better Call Saul Season 6 Leaves Us ‘Black And Blue’ With Another Tense Episode Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television By Chris Evangelista/May 9, 2022 10:13 pm EST If you were wondering where Lalo has been during the last few episodes of “Better Call Saul,” we now have an answer: Germany! And no, he’s not there for Oktoberfest. Instead, Lalo is still gathering definitive proof that Gus Fring is up to something (beyond the whole “fast food franchise owner moonlighting as a drug kingpin” thing, that is)....

Chucky Season 2 Will Bring Back Devon Sawa Syfy/USA By Valerie Ettenhofer/May 10, 2022 2:43 pm EST You know the saying: you can’t keep a good guy down, and you can’t keep Devon Sawa’s “Chucky” characters dead. The actor revealed that he’ll be returning for season 2 of the USA/Syfy series in an interview with Entertainment Weekly today, via a note from the killer doll himself. “Dear Gavin Sawa,” the actor read from a note credited to Chucky:...

David Cronenberg Approaches Directing In The Most Cronenbergian Way Imaginable NEON By Joshua Meyer/June 3, 2022 10:02 pm EST Watching a David Cronenberg film can be a visceral experience. Though Cronenberg’s three previous collaborations with Viggo Mortensen, “A History of Violence,” “Eastern Promises,” and “A Dangerous Method,” have seen him working in a more mainstream mode, their latest, “Crimes of the Future,” has the 79-year-old director returning to his body horror roots, having lost none of his edge....

Early Edition Reboot Will Star Alice Eve As A Journalist Who Gets Tomorrow’s News Today Paramount By Danielle Ryan/March 18, 2022 5:43 pm EST The “Early Edition” reboot pilot at CBS has found its lead in “Freelancers” and “Star Trek: Into Darkness” star Alice Eve. According to Variety, the actress will star in the series as an intrepid journalist who magically gets tomorrow’s news delivered today. The original version of the series followed Kyle Chandler (“Friday Night Lights”) as a man who had the next day’s edition of the Chicago Sun-Times delivered to him by a mysterious cat, but there’s no word on whether or not the reboot will also feature a fantastical feline friend....

Everything We Know About Killing Eve Season 4 So Far BBC America By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Dec. 30, 2021 4:15 pm EST If you’ve watched the three available seasons of “Killing Eve” (which I am assuming you have), you know that this show is impossible to stay away from. “Killing Eve” is most fun when you binge-watch it in a single sitting, it smashes television tropes, and puts a cool twist on the spy vs....

How Robin Williams Changed The Voice Acting Business As We Know It Walt Disney Pictures By Lee Adams/Jan. 3, 2022 12:51 pm EST If you have spent an unreasonable amount of time over the past two years stuck indoors with kids, you’ll have no doubt watched a ridiculous amount of computer animated content on Netflix or other streaming services. There seems to be an unending supply of it, and even the most third-rate efforts have well-known names voicing characters (here’s looking at you, Chevy Chase in “Doogal”)....

John Carpenter’s Masterpiece The Thing Is Back In The Box Office Top 10 After Four Decades Universal Pictures By Ryan Scott/June 23, 2022 12:17 pm EST This past weekend’s box office may have been dominated by the likes of “Jurassic World: Dominion,” “Lightyear,” and “Top Gun: Maverick” but, amazingly enough, a stone-cold sci-fi classic from 40 years ago actually snuck its way back onto the charts once again. John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” which was originally released in the summer of 1982, was re-released by the folks at Fathom Events this past Sunday, and the single-day screenings generated enough ticket sales to bring the movie back into the top 10, even if the screenings themselves were far from perfect....

Karl Urban’s Dredd Costume Called For Different Kind Of Acting Entertainment Film Distributors By Witney Seibold/June 30, 2022 5:50 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Judge Dredd first appeared in the comic book “2000 A.D.” #2 in March of 1977. The character was a stoic, tough-as-nails ultra-cop, enforcing the law in a future dystopia called Mega-City One. In the future, crime has become so bad that cops are also authorized to serve as judges, and pass sentences on the spot, including the death penalty....

M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock At The Cabin Adds Jonathan Groff And Ben Aldridge Netflix By Sandy Schaefer/March 3, 2022 2:11 pm EST M. Night Shyamalan is rapidly putting together a cast for his next film, “Knock at the Cabin,” and so far, it’s a doozy. Dave Bautista will star in the director’s sure-to-be-high-concept original thriller, adding yet another feather to his cap to go with his upcoming roles in the “Knives Out” and “Dune” sequels, along with his final (?...

Confessions of a sock-thief Warner Bros. In an interview on BBC Radio 1 (via Insider), Robert Pattinson came out with a downright Riddler-esque confession of his own. If he’s to be believed, then the “Batman” star has been hoarding socks from the set of “The Batman” throughout over a year of shooting. It’s pretty commonplace, of course, for actors to take home certain items of sentimental value that the used on-set during production....

Memory: Release Date, Cast, And More Open Road Films By Sandy Schaefer/Jan. 4, 2022 12:04 pm EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) Hollywood remakes of non-American films are nothing new, and some of them have even gone on to become bonafide classics that stand on their own two feet (see: “The Departed”)....

No Exit Review: A Taut Little Thriller That Overplays Its Hand 20th Century Studios By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 25, 2022 3:00 am EST A mountain rest stop in a blizzard. A group of five strangers. A girl tied up in a van. It’s a tantalizing premise for “No Exit,” the chilly thriller directed by Damien Power, but then again, a premise can only take a movie so far. Based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Taylor Adams, “No Exit” may immediately call to mind the Jean-Paul Sartre 1994 philosophical play with which it shares a name thanks to the very basic concept of a bunch of strangers being driven to the brink after being trapped together (which I don’t think author Taylor Adams even meant to evoke in the first place), but the 2022 “No Exit” doesn’t have such high-minded ambitions as that....

Peacemaker Is An Unconventional Love Story Between Two Characters Warner Bros. By Danielle Ryan/Jan. 14, 2022 10:47 am EST Believe it or not, writer and director James Gunn is kind of a sucker for love stories. Sure, his love stories involve alien tentacle monsters and murder, and they’re not always romantic, but they’re love stories nonetheless. Whether it’s the twisted love triangle of “Slither,” the loss of love driving a man to murder in “Super,” or the parent-child bonds of “The Suicide Squad,” Gunn is a twisted genius when it comes to understanding what tugs at our heartstrings....

‘It’s so scary to end the season that way.’ AMC Longsuffering fans have been ready and waiting for the grand return of season 6, but it’s worth looking back at how season 5 concluded — especially now that it’s finally available to stream on Netflix. After such an ambitious season, viewers no doubt anticipated an explosive conclusion. That’s exactly what we received, to be sure, as drug kingpin Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) blackmailed Nacho into becoming their man on the inside, press-ganged into delivering Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton) into the hands of mercenary killers....

Red Rocket Cast And Director Sean Baker On Crafting A Movie About An Endearing Scumbag [Interview] A24 By Ryan Scott/Dec. 17, 2021 2:36 pm EST Filmmaker Sean Baker has made quite a name for himself over the last handful of years, directing the truly memorable and acclaimed indies “Tangerine” and “The Florida Project.” While he occasionally gets a big name on board such as Willem Dafoe, Baker has crafted these movies with bare-bones resources, and largely undiscovered and overlooked talent....

Steven Soderbergh’s Kimi Is More Rooted In Fact Than Fiction Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/April 19, 2022 10:21 am EST Directed, shot, and edited by Soderbergh, “Kimi” is ultimately about how difficult it is to extricate vital information from a computer corporation who would sooner hush up any granule of scandal than confront anything approaching actual malfeasance. It’s also very much up-to-date about relationships, dating, and love in time of COVID....

When He Performed for Rodney Dangerfield Three years before “Full House” debuted on ABC, a pre-fame Bob Saget took to the stage for HBO’s “9th Annual Young Comedians Special” with Rodney Dangerfield. Over the course of a three-minute routine, Saget rapidly cracked all kinds of bad taste jokes to his audience’s approval, even playfully scolding the crowd for laughing at one point. As you would expect, not all of his punchlines land when revisited from the vantage point of the present (like his bit towards the end about a “half man, half woman” doll, which he dubs “G....
