32% Agree This Was The Best Star Trek: The Next Generation Character – Do We Agree? Paramount By Witney Seibold/April 5, 2022 10:54 am EST (Welcome to Survey Says, a feature where we conduct a movie-related survey for a random group of people and explain why they’re completely right, completely wrong, or somewhere in-between.) Representatives from /Film have just returned from the distant future, and, dear readers, it is bleak. In the 27th century, the galaxy is in turmoil after the disappearance of the Tox Uthat, a unique quantum phase inhibitor, and the galaxy’s preeminent scientist Kal Dano, inventor of the Tox Uthat....

A Short History Of Space Pirates In Star Trek CBS Paramount Television By Valerie Ettenhofer/June 20, 2022 4:45 pm EST Last week, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” introduced one of the series’ most entertaining new characters to date: Captain Angel (Jesse James Keitel), the roguish and theatrical leader of a pirate ship called The Serene Squall. Angel ingratiated themselves to Spock (Ethan Peck) under the alias of Dr. Aspen, but in reality, the charismatic criminal only wanted to free their husband from prison....

Apocalypse Now Turned Nicolas Coppola Into The Nicolas Cage We Know Today Lionsgate By Lyvie Scott/April 22, 2022 12:37 pm EST Life can be tough for descendants of Hollywood dynasties. There’s always the nagging suspicion that their success is the product of nepotism, and references to famous family members seem to follow them wherever they go. Many actors and filmmakers avoid discussions on the topic whenever possible, and some have even gone so far as to change their surnames in an effort to stand on their own....

Attack On Titan Final Season Destroys ‘Two Brothers’ And Any Chance Of A Happy Ending Studio MAPPA By Rafael Motamayor/Jan. 24, 2022 5:00 pm EST “S***, guys! Is anyone alive?!” This is the moment where any notion of a happy ending in “Attack on Titan” disappeared in smoke. From the moment she killed Sasha, it was heavily theorized that Gabi would end up killing Eren too, and it finally happened in what will go down as one of the most stunning and truly shocking scenes of the entire show — and a moment that will certainly lead to a civil and cordial discourse, yes sir....

Casting Ewan McGregor Could Have Made Things Awkward For The Men Who Stare At Goats Overture Films By Witney Seibold/June 29, 2022 5:56 pm EST Grant Heslov’s 2009 comedy “The Men Who Stare at Goats” is based on one of the more peculiar true stories attached to the U.S. military. Taking details from the book by Jon Ronson, “Goats” details an actual effort in the late 1970s and early 1980s to develop human mental superpowers for potential use on the battlefield....

Chris Hemsworth’s Innate Comedy Chops Are What Got Thor The Rare Marvel Fourquel Marvel Studios By Joshua Meyer/June 27, 2022 9:00 am EST Though some may have recognized him from his feature film debut as George Kirk in the 2009 “Star Trek” reboot, Chris Hemsworth was a relative unknown when he landed the role of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first “Thor” movie brought in director Kenneth Branagh, seemingly in an effort to lend some Shakespearean gravitas to it....

Disenchantment: Part 4: Release Date, Cast, And More Netflix By Ryan Scott/Feb. 7, 2022 3:49 pm EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) Matt Groening will go down in television history as the creator of “The Simpsons,” and he could have done absolutely nothing else and would still have found his way into the books....

Ethan Hawke’s Low-Key Moon Knight Villain Is A Refreshing Change Of Pace For Marvel Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/April 6, 2022 11:00 am EST This article contains major spoilers for the first two episodes of “Moon Knight.” Villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are generally heavy-handed. Just think about Thanos and his need to annihilate half of the universe due to a misguided need to resolve conflict over resources. While Marvel villains have been invested with shades of grey before — a key example being Loki’s redemption arc in “Loki” — “Moon Knight” introduces a big baddie who is terrifying because of how understated and reined-in he is....

Gentleman Jack Season 2 Trailer: The Series Returns This Month HBO By Valerie Ettenhofer/April 5, 2022 5:54 pm EST Great news for fans of queer true stories from history: revisionist gay pirate rom-com “Our Flag Means Death” may have sailed away for now, but lesbian landowner drama “Gentleman Jack” is back. The HBO series about Anne Lister (Suranne Jones), who lived somewhat openly with her female lover in 1800s England, is returning after three years away for a second season this spring....

How Sidney Lumet Used Different Eye Levels To Create Tension In 12 Angry Men United Artists By Mike Shutt/March 9, 2022 12:11 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. When you go to film school, you read a lot of books about how to make a movie. A lot of them I did not care for. Too many to count frame the moviemaking process as a puzzle to be solved, telling you how to tell the story that is in your head in the most conventional, easily accessible way....

King Richard Is Now Available On Premium VOD And Comes To Blu-Ray In February Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/Jan. 4, 2022 11:37 am EST “King Richard” has been garnering Oscar buzz for Will Smith and is one of the 10 films that made the American Film Institute’s Movies of the Year list for 2021.

Peacemaker Won’t ‘Stop Dragon My Heart Around’ Warner Bros. By Danielle Ryan/Feb. 10, 2022 4:00 am EST We’re almost at the end of the first season of “Peacemaker,” and boy howdy has it been a ride. Over the first six episodes, we’ve watched Christopher Smith, A.K.A. Peacemaker, go from an unlikable loser who killed his hero to someone actually worth rooting for. Peacemaker’s arc has been surprisingly emotionally complex given how crude the humor is, but now we’re at the penultimate episode and all bets are off....

A punishing musical war drama Wild Bunch As with Michael Bay’s movies, you really feel Adil & Bilall’s music video background in “Rebel,” as the two include several music numbers throughout the film. The mix of tones may be jarring for some audiences, but like with the recent smash hit “RRR,” “Rebel” manages to make the musical breaks fit seamlessly with the rest of the story, a break that brings us insight into the mind of the characters and their motivations, like catchy and visually striking rap number where Kamal and his friends sing about the prejudice and racism they face as people of color in Belgium....

You’ve met the cast of Zombie’s upcoming film, led by Jeff Daniel Phillips, Sheri Moon Zombie, and Daniel Roebuck — as Herman, Lily, and Grandpa Munster, respectively....

Robert Pattinson Studied Bat Fighting Techniques To Prepare For The Batman Warner Bros. Pictures By Jenna Busch/March 4, 2022 7:14 pm EST Robert Pattinson is a delightful person to interview. Years ago he wished me luck in Googling my name and not getting results for the former President’s daughter. For someone who does brooding better than anyone outside of The Cure, he’s remarkably funny. After this quote, you might add " … and a bit odd" to that statement....

Russell Crowe Put Some Personal Touches On His Gladiator Costume Dreamworks By Steven Ward/April 15, 2022 4:56 pm EST As far as historic epics go, “Gladiator” remains one colossally beautiful and bloody masterpiece. Ridley Scott’s tale of revenge stars Russell Crowe as the Roman general Maximus betrayed into slavery by usurping Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). It’s definitely not a movie anyone’s in danger of snoozing in, especially with its grandiose shots of the Coliseum and its brutal fight scenes....

The Apartment From Rosemary’s Baby Is Actually Haunted Paramount Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Dec. 28, 2021 10:11 am EST In “Rosemary’s Baby,” one of the very first images we see is that of an apartment building. The camera pans across the New York skyline to The Dakota, a real-life landmark that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Built from 1880 to 1884, it became a city landmark in 1969, the year after “Rosemary’s Baby” hit theaters....

The Lonely Island’s Filmmaking Style Comes From One Very Relatable Desire NBC By Shae Sennett/May 20, 2022 6:29 pm EST Chances are, if you’re between the ages of twenty and forty, you’ve been a fan of The Lonely Island at some point in your life.
