How The Jackass Crew Pulled Off A Stunt With Brad Pitt Paramount Pictures By Lex Briscuso/Jan. 26, 2022 12:41 pm EST If there’s one thing the “Jackass” franchise does right — joke’s on you, though, they do everything right — it’s their celebrity cameos. The team knows how to pack a punch with the appearances they select and, in turn, those appearances make their already-exciting projects that much more compelling. One of the best examples of this is legendary actor Brad Pitt’s two turns on the beloved stunt-and-smash series, because of course it is, knowing Pitt and his wacky sense of humor....

Did We All Forget How Wild The Last Unicorn Is? Jensen Farley Pictures Advancements in CGI technology have helped make space for quality live-action fantasy stories like “The Lord of the Rings” or “Game of Thrones,” but “The Last Unicorn” plays in a world far more fantastical than both Middle-earth and the Seven Kingdoms combined. To start it off, the main protagonist of the film is a unicorn. It would be one thing if she was a side character, but it’s a little difficult to tell the story of “The Last Unicorn” without us being guided by the last unicorn....

It’s among Disney’s most enchanting offerings in recent years — largely because of its immersive animation and musical vibrancy.

Griffith’s “The Musketeers of Pig Alley.” The genre really took shape in the 1930s with movies such as “Little Caesar” and “The Public Enemy” (both from 1931) about ruthless Chicago outlaws. James Cagney’s turn in 1938’s “Angels with Dirty Faces” is another seminal entry....

The Birds Controversy Explained Universal-International Productions By Lee Adams/March 16, 2022 12:52 pm EST Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most recognizable directors of any era, thanks as much to his frequent onscreen appearances as his celebrated body of work. The master of suspense appeared on chat shows, trailers, and made cameos in many of his films, creating a persona as distinct as the Hollywood superstars he directed. Over 40 years since he passed away, the character of Hitchcock is still vivid — rotund, loquacious, droll, and just a little sinister....

Why it’s essential viewing Sony Pictures Never have I seen a film that made me appreciate the stories my parents tell more than this film. (Don’t get me wrong. I like their stories. As far as I know, my dad has never played fetch with a werewolf though.) It’s a beautiful tale of the relationship between a father and a son, and what it’s like to realize that your parents are humans....

The Unsettling Reason Willy Wonka’s Tunnel Scene Feels So Terrifying Paramount Pictures By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/Jan. 4, 2022 11:29 am EST “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” is not a horror movie. Sure, much of the plot revolves around an eccentric recluse who lures unsuspecting children and their guardians into his chocolate factory to endure potentially life-threatening tests so that he can secure an heir. And yes, the factory is powered by the slave labored of musically inclined, orange little people, but it is still a well-loved children’s movie that has captivated audiences for 50 years since its initial release in 1971....

A Classic South Park Song Is Getting The Full Orchestra Treatment For Season 25 Comedy Central By Lex Briscuso/Jan. 26, 2022 2:43 pm EST If you’re a child of the ’90s like me, chances are you have a soft spot for “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.” While watching current “South Park” is, let’s just say, gauche, the 1999 film seemed to be made at just the right time: the show was still on a high of breaking the conventions of the adult animation mold and debuting a raw, raunchy inventiveness....
