Although opinions on the prequel trilogy are generally mixed, most fans would agree that Darth Maul’s appearance in “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” is one of the best parts of the trilogy. Maul proved that you didn’t need dialogue to be memorable, having only a few brief lines in the film....

Slimy, yet … satisfying? Hulu Okay, so maybe “Deep Water” didn’t end up kickstarting a long-overdue return to the trashy adult fare that Adrian Lyne made himself known for in years past. On the bright side, it’s given us an excuse to spend hundreds of words focusing on snails. The Independent has all the juicy (slimy?) inside info for us, detailing (de-snailing? Okay, I swear I’ll stop now) the fascinating origins of all those snails....

By Steven Ward/May 30, 2022 12:09 pm EST It might be over four decades old, but “The Shining” has never stopped being a dazzlingly unfathomable piece of cinema.

The reason for the author’s contention resulted from the liberties Kubrick took with his novel and the pivotal changes he made to the plot....

How The Umbrella Academy Brought 1960s Dallas Back To Life Netflix By Travis Yates/Jan. 27, 2022 12:51 pm EST Unlike in the movies, time travel does not yet exist — film and television continue to serve as the closest thing we have to a time machine. Hollywood pulls it off thanks to a funny little French phrase, mise en scène, which is the overall look and feel of a production.

Jerry & Marge Go Large Trailer: A Hilariously Legal Look At Gaming The Lottery Paramount+ By BJ Colangelo/May 16, 2022 9:06 pm EST Many people dream of winning the lottery, but few have ever managed to score big and change their lives forever. In the newest Paramount+ film, Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening are going to tell the story of a couple who did exactly that. “Jerry and Marge Go Large” is a comedic look at the real-life lottery winnings of Jerry and Marge Selbee, a couple who discovered and took advantage of a mathematical loophole in the lottery that allowed them and they’re small town to completely pull one over on the Winfall lottery game, and use the funds to help revitalize their small Michigan town....

Keri Russell To Tangle With Politicians Again In Netflix Drama Series The Diplomat 20th Television By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 17, 2022 10:32 am EST Back when I first watched the hit FX series “The Americans,” which originally aired for six stellar seasons from 2013 to 2018, I wasn’t sure anyone was actually paying attention to me when I wouldn’t shut up about how I could watch Keri Russell trying to balance a character’s bold political ambitions with keeping a marriage afloat for as long the actor ever wanted to do roles like that....

Made For Love Season 2 Trailer: Hazel Is Playing 3D Chess HBO Max By BJ Colangelo/April 13, 2022 4:06 pm EST It was nearly a year ago when the HBO Max original sci-fi dark comedy “Made For Love” first arrived on our screens, and now, the toxic Gogol couple have returned for even more high-tech hijinks.
