Christmas Story Sequel Is Bringing Back The Same Actors To Play Randy, Scut, Flick And Schwartz MGM By Jeremy Mathai/Feb. 15, 2022 5:23 pm EST The gang is coming back together and, in all honesty, I’m still not entirely sure why. I’ve probably watched and thoroughly enjoyed “A Christmas Story” more times than I can count during TBS’ annual “24 Hours of ‘A Christmas Story’” marathon every holiday season, but I can confidently state that I never once felt the need to see the story continue in a direct-to-TV sequel — which actually happened — or with a legacy sequel bringing back Peter Billingsley as Ralphie — which we recently reported on — in his famous role....

Disney’s Percy Jackson: Everything We Know So Far Netflix By Shania Russell/June 23, 2022 5:11 pm EST Calling all demigods! Rick Riordan’s bestselling middle-grade series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is finally getting the TV treatment it has always deserved! For those of us who grew up cheering Percy on, resenting the Gods of Olympus, and pondering which Camp Half-Blood cabin would be our home, this a dream come true. Better yet, this adaptation will introduce Riordan’s mythology-packed coming-of-age tale to a new generation....

Easter Eggs You May Have Missed In The Book Of Boba Fett Episode 4 Disney+ By Eric Vespe/Jan. 20, 2022 7:00 am EST It’s another week so you know what that means! That’s right, a new episode of “The Book of Boba Fett” is out, so it’s time to dig into the references, Easter eggs, hints and even a smidge of speculation. This episode, titled “The Gathering Storm” or just plain old “Chapter 4” if you’re going by the Disney+ listing, has a ton of things to discuss, so let’s get started, shall we?...

Heath Ledger’s First Scene With Christian Bale Set The Standard For The Dark Knight’s Joker Warner Bros. Pictures By Fatemeh Mirjalili/May 19, 2022 10:32 am EST From his comic book roots as a supervillain to his many incarnations on the big screen, the Joker is, to put it simply, the best villain in comic book history. And then there’s Heath Ledger’s outstanding performance in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” Ledger’s Oscar-winning Joker is beyond terrifying — he’s a man who will do anything to achieve what he wants and goes to great lengths to watch the world burn....

How Realistic Are The Jurassic Movies’ Velociraptors? A Paleontologist Has The Answer Universal Pictures By Devin Meenan/June 10, 2022 9:45 pm EST The most famous dinosaurs in the “Jurassic Park” series, eclipsing even the Tyrannosaurus rex, are the Velociraptors. These calculating pack hunters have appeared in all six “Jurassic” movies, serving as the most persistent (and terrifying) threat in the “Park” trilogy before being thrust into the unlikely (and ridiculous) role of hero in the following “World” trilogy....

James Gunn Thinks Rogue One Is Underrated — And He’s Right Lucasfilm By Joshua Meyer/April 7, 2022 8:54 pm EST Drop everything, because James Gunn has spoken up about “Star Wars” and he thinks “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is underrated. The director of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” ought to know a thing or two about galaxies far, far away. Gunn recently took to Twitter to write, “I don’t know why Rogue One is trending, but I’m glad it is, as it’s the most underrated Star Wars anything....

Lightyear Filmmakers On Restoring The Film’s Lesbian Kiss Disney/Pixar By Sandy Schaefer/April 21, 2022 12:00 pm EST Pixar’s “Lightyear” will feature an important first for the animation studio: an on-screen kiss between a queer couple. The timeliness of this event isn’t lost on anyone. Pixar’s parent company, Disney, recently came under fire for sponsoring the Florida politicians behind the notorious HB 1557, a bill that forbids the state’s elementary school teachers from talking about sexuality and gender in their classrooms....

Marvel’s Secret Invasion Is Apparently Digging Deep Into Skrull Mythology Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/April 25, 2022 7:17 pm EST Back in December 2020, Marvel Studios announced a number of new shows for Disney+. Among them was “Secret Invasion,” which is inspired by 2008 Marvel Comics crossover event by Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Francis Yu.

Morbius Almost Had A Very Different Vampire Face, But It Was Too ‘Hokey’ [Exclusive] Sony Pictures By Jeremy Mathai/April 4, 2022 12:46 pm EST Have you seen the newest movie about the new Marvel “legend” that’s had tongues wagging and blood, uh, dripping since the debut of “Morbius” this past weekend? Reviews haven’t exactly reserved the most glowing praise for the Jared Leto-starring Sony movie about the “living vampire” (whatever that means?...

Quentin Tarantino Will Narrate Showtime’s Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber, Because Sure, Why Not The Weinstein Company By Anya Stanley/Feb. 16, 2022 5:09 pm EST Quentin Tarantino loves a good throwdown; the dirtier the fight, the better. Whether stanning for the schoolyard free-for-all “Battle Royale” back in 2009 (which also happens to be Danielle Ryan’s first rec after binging “Squid Game”) or anticipating a bloodbath in any of the numerous Mexican standoffs he puts in his films, the “Hateful Eight” director lives for combat in every iteration....

Read The Article That Inspired Coyote Vs. Acme Warner Bros. Entertainment By Anya Stanley/Feb. 17, 2022 8:48 am EST Ladies and gentlemen, it’s common knowledge that Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius, has gotten the short end of the stick from the fictional Acme (a creation of animator Chuck Jones). Out in the unforgiving Southwest desert, there is no Target or Woolworth’s, so the furry doggo has no choice but to send away for his own weapons of singular destruction....

Rebel Without A Cause Made The Offer Star Giovanni Ribisi Want To Have More Fun [Interview] Paramount+ By Jack Giroux/April 29, 2022 11:31 am EST Giovanni Ribisi goes big in the new miniseries, “The Offer.” The actor, known for movies like “Saving Private Ryan” and “Ted,” plays mob boss Joe Colombo. At first, he’s one of the greatest threats in the show. Colombo wants to stop “The Godfather” from getting made, since he believes it’ll reinforce stereotypes about Italian-Americans....

Tales From The Box Office: Jurassic World Is The Most Successful Legacy Sequel Ever Universal Pictures By Ryan Scott/June 11, 2022 12:00 pm EST This weekend sees “Jurassic World Dominion” rolling into theaters, which means the franchise is reaching something that feels at least a little bit like a conclusion. While producer Frank Marshall has very much made it clear that Universal intends to make more movies after this, the sixth entry in the “Jurassic” franchise is being billed as the end of a journey that started way back in 1993 with Steven Spielberg’s original blockbuster classic....

The 6 Best Speeches From The 2022 Oscars Neilson Barnard/Getty Images By Shania Russell/March 28, 2022 12:45 pm EST To their credit, the Academy sort of understands why people tune into the Oscars: this isn’t the kind of show you watch in full the next day, it’s something you wanna live through in the moment. And so every year, they try to draw people in by manufacturing a few viral, can’t-miss-moments through performances and — shudder — comedy bits....

The Alternate Ending For Ronin We Didn’t See In Theaters United Artists By Ryan Leston/Feb. 16, 2022 2:29 pm EST “Ronin,” one of my favorite movies of all time, is a stone-cold classic. The 1998 action thriller stars Robert De Niro as Sam — a former-CIA operative hired by the IRA along with a band of fellow mercenaries to snatch a mysterious briefcase. What’s in the case? That’s not important. What matters is what everyone around him will do to get their hands on it....

The Bruxa’s Powers In The Witcher Season 2 Explained Netflix By Danielle Ryan/Dec. 18, 2021 1:34 pm EST There are many different kinds of monsters in the world of “The Witcher,” but one of the most terrifying are bruxae, a unique subclass of vampiric predator. Season 2 of the hit Netflix series opens with an episode featuring one very special bruxa, capable of caring for a mortal despite being a monster....

Breaking Free of Parental Authority Embassy Pictures While Benjamin makes his impassioned plea, Nichols switches to a shot of an astounded Elaine as she steps down from the altar and moves closer. She turns to the snarling faces of her parents and new husband; in obnoxious close ups, they bark orders at her that we cannot hear. Elaine dramatically looks back towards Ben and screams his name. Nichols follows with unhinged shots of Ben trying to grab Elaine while fighting off the swarming crowd of Mr....

The Matrix Easter Egg You Missed In John Wick: Chapter 3 Lionsgate By Ryan Leston/Jan. 20, 2022 5:16 pm EST There’s a glitch in “John Wick: Chapter 3”… or is it just déjà vu? The action sequel starring Keanu Reeves draws plenty of parallels with “The Matrix.” After all, John Wick’s incredible fighting skills look as though they’ve been directly uploaded to Keanu Reeves’ head. Then “The Matrix Resurrections” introduced a bearded Neo that looks exactly like John Wick has been plugged into the Matrix....

The MCU Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Ms. Marvel Episode 2 Disney+ By Ben F. Silverio/June 15, 2022 5:54 pm EST Since Kamala Khan is such a fan of the Avengers, it’s no surprise that there are a ton of references to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the first episode of “Ms. Marvel” on Disney+. The scenes in Avengers Con alone were a cornucopia of Easter eggs. But when it comes to the second episode titled “Crushed,” despite the connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe being a bit more subtle this time around, they were certainly still there for eagle-eyed or eagle-eared (if that’s a thing) True Believers to find....
