America Ferrera Joins Margot Robbie In The Live-Action Barbie Movie NBC By BJ Colangelo/Feb. 9, 2022 2:13 pm EST Come on, Barbie, let’s go party! For the first time in the 60-plus year history of the Barbie Doll, Ms. Barbara Millicent Roberts is finally getting a live-action adaptation (unless you count Epcot’s “Magical World of Barbie” show from 1994, which I DO) thanks to Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment. Robbie is set to play the titular fashion doll in a bit of pretty perfect casting, and Ryan Gosling has already been tagged to play Barbie’s right-hand man, Ken....
Atlanta Season 3 Trailer: Things Are Getting Pretty Intense FX By Jeremy Mathai/March 4, 2022 1:06 pm EST From the friendly (if stifling) confines of Atlanta, Georgia, to the new, intoxicating, and sometimes bewildering locale of Europe, the upcoming season of “Atlanta” appears on track to deliver the strangest and most interesting batch of episodes yet in the hilarious and distinctive FX series. Fans have followed the humble musical origins of rapper Paper Boi (Bryan Tyree Henry), his at-times ineffectual manager/cousin Earn (Donald Glover), Earn’s long-suffering girlfriend Van (Zazie Beetz), and the human embodiment of an enigma wrapped in a riddle of Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) for several years now....
Being The Ricardos Director Aaron Sorkin On Sacrificing Accuracy To Get To The Truth [Interview] By Jeff Ewing/Dec. 21, 2021 9:00 am EST Aaron Sorkin’s “Being the Ricardos” is a stunning look at two of the most revered entertainers in U.S. history, Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem). Working together as the leads and driving creative force behind the classic sitcom “I Love Lucy” (alongside the pair’s other endeavors) puts the couple on a delicate tightrope, both personally and professionally....

By Sandy Schaefer/Feb. 3, 2022 12:09 pm EST Channing Tatum is back in a big way this year, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier about it. He’s starring in the dramedy “Dog” (which he also co-directed) later this month and will return not long after with “The Lost City,” an action-comedy that pairs him with Sandra Bullock....

It wouldn’t be complete without the .44 Magnum Sideshow Collectibles Dirty Harry is most famous for foiling a bank robbery in a 50-year-old, awkwardly coded scene where he shoots down men in the street while chewing his lunch and stands over one of them, reciting the famous movie quote: “Being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?...
Dune: Part 2’s Production Could Look A Lot More Like The Mandalorian Warner Brothers Pictures By Erin Brady/June 15, 2022 4:29 pm EST Against all odds and projected failures, “Dune” made a huge splash in 2021, partially due to how gorgeous its scenery was. Thanks to folks like production designer Patrice Vermette and special effects supervisor Paul Lambert, the dreary and sand-filled worlds of Arrakis were brought to life in Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation....

Every Michael Mann Movie Ranked Worst To Best Warner Bros. By Gino Orlandini/May 18, 2022 2:32 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Michael Mann is a perfectionist. Many geniuses are. Decades after the release of his masterpiece, “Heat,” he was still tinkering with the lighting scheme. Meanwhile, he was also re-editing “Ali’ and even trying to salvage his least-loved film, “Blackhat.” Mann’s exacting standards and willingness to do anything to get the shot have led to explosive confrontations on set....
Everyone Loved Spartacus, Except For Stanley Kubrick Universal Pictures By Witney Seibold/April 7, 2022 9:58 am EST Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 Roman epic “Spartacus,” based on Howard Fast’s biographical novel about an enslaved man who led an uprising against the Roman Empire during the third Servile War in the 70s BC, was one of Universal Pictures’ biggest hits. Working with a budget of $12 million (about $115 million in 2022 dollars), the film grossed over $60 million (about $575 million in 2022 dollars)....
Everything Everywhere All At Once TV Spots Showcase A Mind-Melting Good Time A24 By Jenna Busch/March 18, 2022 10:54 am EST There are few trailers that have intrigued me as much as the one for “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Multiverses are very hot right now, with multiple realities breaking open in the DC and Marvel film universes. I mentioned the trailer to my significant other, and he said, “Oh, more multiverse stuff?...

Non-interference Paramount The Prime Directive was first mentioned in the “Star Trek” episode “The Return of the Archons,” which first aired on February 9, 1967. In that episode (written by Gene L. Coon), the Enterprise is investigating the disappearance of a ship called the U.S.S. Archon that had disappeared a century earlier. In so doing, Kirk (William Shatner) and crew beam down to the planet Beta III and encounter a planet of people dressed in early 20th-century garb, and who all seemed to be placidly hypnotized....
Gods Behaving Badly: The Unreleased Christopher Walken Project We’ve Never Seen Warner Bros By Lee Adams/Feb. 4, 2022 11:38 am EST Cinematically, I’ve always thought of the Greek God Zeus as a toga kind of guy. That’s probably because I loved those old Ray Harryhausen monster movies when I was a kid, especially those classic swords-and-sandals adventures like “Jason and the Argonauts” and “Clash of the Titans.” Niall MacGinnis and Laurence Olivier memorably played Zeus in those movies, and many other actors have portrayed the character over the years....
How Jordan Peele Used Time To Terrify The Audience In Us Universal Pictures By Sandy Schaefer/April 6, 2022 5:57 pm EST The Jordan Peele-directed horror films “Get Out” and “Us” open with similarly eerie prologues.

In “Us,” a young girl named Adelaide Wilson (Madison Curry) is visiting the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with her parents when she wanders off, coming face-to-face with her doppelgänger....

Jurassic Park Scenes That Aged Terribly Universal Pictures By Chad Collins/July 4, 2022 11:33 am EST There really should be more dinosaur movies. With the release of “Jurassic Park,” the landscape of blockbuster moviemaking was changed forever. As with “Jaws,” a movie arguably responsible for blockbuster movies in general, Stephen Speilberg had done it again. Despite its groundbreaking success and state-of-the-art technology, dinosaurs have been all but consigned to the franchise Spielberg started with his adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel of the same name....
Netflix’s Most Watched Films Last Week – Which Are Worth Your Time? Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Dec. 28, 2021 5:19 pm EST We’re back with another look at the most watched films on Netflix, the equivalent of looking at dominant pop culture through a fun-house mirror only to be horrified when you realize the warped reflection is just what our face actually looks like. Last week had a lot of people celebrating the Christmas holiday, which is definitely why almost half of the top 10 most watched films were of the holiday variety....
