Every Star Trek Series Ranked From Worst To Best Paramount By Margaret David/May 23, 2022 12:20 pm EST “Star Trek” is one of science fiction’s big historical landmarks. It’s the franchise that’s inspired generations of scientists and engineers and gave Black girls and young Asian kids someone to look up to. It’s a franchise about the courage it takes to explore the unknown, guided by a hopeful heart. The original series rarely shied away from tackling tough social issues, and it set about telling these stories with a ferocity that reminded us that we can always be better as a species....

How Superstore Tried To Subvert The Typical Sitcom Romance NBC By Valerie Ettenhofer/May 18, 2022 10:52 am EST Everyone has a favorite frustrating, giddy-making, eventually perfect sitcom ship. Your Ross and Rachel. Your Nick and Jess. Your Jim and Pam. For me, for a while, the grand prize for TV’s best will-they/won’t-they relationship went to Amy (America Ferrera) and Jonah (Ben Feldman) from NBC’s “Superstore.” The working-class, go-getter single mom was perfectly complemented by her kind, progressive, rich boy coworker, and the pair had chemistry off the charts....

I Really Wish Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness Looked More Like A Sam Raimi Movie Marvel Studios By Danielle Ryan/Dec. 22, 2021 2:34 pm EST When it was announced that Sam Raimi would be directing the next “Doctor Strange” movie, my excitement was through the roof. Raimi has a uniquely kinetic visual style that could take the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a decidedly weirder direction. So why does the teaser trailer for “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” look like almost every other Marvel movie or TV show, with just a sprinkling of Raimi’s filmmaker flavor on top?...

Indiana Jones 5 Has Wrapped Filming, Producer Frank Marshall Reveals Lucasfilm By Ben F. Silverio/Feb. 27, 2022 3:49 pm EST Making movies safely in the time of COVID-19 has been a challenging affair. Many films have experienced delays and studios have basically pushed back their entire release slates to accommodate for the setbacks. But it seems like the fifth “Indiana Jones” film had a few more troubles than most. Last year, Disney announced that a number of Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm projects would be moved around due to the ongoing pandemic....

First, Let’s Talk About The Fight HBO In one of the last episodes ahead of the season finale, viewers learn that Issa’s close friends, Tiffany (Amanda Seales) and Derek (Wade Allain-Marcus), are moving their family to Denver for work.

‘It felt special and it felt urgent’ All right, so first off, great movie. I laughed. I cried. I was very, very touched. But let’s go back to the original “Marcel” shorts. Yeah. They are these lovely little three minute vignettes without much of a narrative. What made you think, “I should turn this into a feature film?” I know it’s kind of crazy, isn’t it? I sort of love that we were able to do it in a way that is so surprisingly emotional, and that the bar will be so low for people going in because they’ll be like, “I remember those silly little wisps of a story, of a character....

By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 22, 2021 5:05 pm EST “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)” feels like a very, very long time ago, doesn’t it? Ever since starring in Alejandro G.

Pachinko Star Minha Kim On Crafting Sunja’s Emotional Journey [Interview] Apple TV+ By Shania Russell/April 1, 2022 11:00 am EST This article contains spoilers for episode 4 of “Pachinko.” From afar, “Pachinko” is a sweeping epic that spans entire decades in history, soaring from the rural fields of Busan to the bustling slums of Osaka.

Smile trailer It’s all very familiar and probably not too hard to imagine how the movie will progress, but the scares will make or break the experience, and based on the trailer, ‘Smile" is more than promising.

Joaquin Phoenix’s work in “Joker” is not his best performance, even if that was the film he won his first acting Oscar for. It’s not even his best work playing a loner who lives with his mother. That would be his turn as Joe, a traumatized military veteran-turned-mercenary who rescues trafficked girls in Lynne Ramsay’s “You Never Were Really Here....
