 Brendan Fraser Was Floored By The Rage Sadie Sink Brought To The Whale
One of the most beloved actors around these days is Brendan Fraser, who is the source of a ridiculous amount of compassion and humble energy and has inspired the rarest of rare things: positivity on the internet. People love Fraser, they're cheering him on and celebrating his successes, which all comes to a head with his certainly award-worthy performance in Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale." Fraser plays Charlie, a 600-lb. man whose mortality is staring him dead in the face who takes it upon h...

Roland Emmerich Knew Independence Day Had To Beat Mars Attacks! To Theaters
Roland Emmerich's made a lot of disaster movies over the years, but "Independence Day" is still the best, probably because it had clear villains. Both "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" had their disasters be the fault of Mother Nature. That made for some great action sequences, but it also led to endings that just sort of fizzled out. In both the latter movies, the Earth's climate permanently changes and large swaths of humanity die, which makes their last-minute swerves towards happy, hopef...

Henry Cavill's Return As Superman Just Got More Complicated
Thanks to the post-credits scene of "Black Adam," fans of Henry Cavill's version of Superman began to rejoice as it seemed like the actor would be returning to the character. The excitement started to ramp up as the man behind this Man of Steel recently left Netflix's adaptation of "The Witcher," which was a part that Cavill notably loved. With both of those things happening so close together, it was hard for Big Blue's adoring public not to assume that the hero would likely come face to face w

All It Took Was Richard Curtis To Get Hugh Grant On Board With Bridget Jones's Diary
If you're a fan of '90s rom-coms, then you probably love the unforgettable films written by Richard Curtis starring the irresistibly charming Hugh Grant. My personal favorite among them is "Bridget Jones's Diary," a modern adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" that centers around the indulgent and imperfect Bridget Jones caught in a classic love triangle. Believe it or not, Grant almost turned the film down. Luckily, he was convinced to join the cast when Richard Curtis stepped in to give the scr

Jason Momoa Could Be Lobo And Other Big Changes Coming To The New DC Universe
The hierarchy of power is indeed changing in the DC Universe, but it's not "Black Adam" in control. With James Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm, it looks like the duo is gearing up for some drastic changes.
Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter has a big, big story that should be taken as a snapshot of this particular moment in time as Gunn and Safran prepare to share their vision for the reboot of the DCEU with new Warners head honcho, David Zaslav.

Wonder Woman 3 Will Not Be Moving Forward
If you think you have gotten used to the potential slate over at the newly-established DC Studios, think again.

According to insiders familiar with the situation, director Patty Jenkins had recently submitted her treatment for the film to DC Studios, but it was seemingly rejected due to it not aligning with the visions of newly appointed co-he...

The Pilots Who Consulted On Top Gun Thought Maverick Was A 'Hot Shot' Who 'Wouldn't Last'
Tony Scott's "Top Gun" took over the world in 1986, successfully launching Tom Cruise as one of our greatest movie superstars and for better or for worse, showed Hollywood a viable, profitable way to collaborate with the U.S. Military in studio filmmaking. Despite the large time gap between the original film and its sequel, "Top Gun: Maverick," the franchise has maintained its cultural relevance and has become one of 2022's greatest success stories. It's not just any blockbuster, it's an encaps

Every Kathryn Bigelow Film Ranked Worst To Best
Writer, director, and producer Kathryn Bigelow may be best known for her Oscar-winning action drama "The Hurt Locker," but her career is longer and more varied than many fans realize.

James Cameron Received A Two-Word Note From An Executive For His Avatar 4 Script
Going off the glowing critical reactions from its first few screenings of "Avatar: The Way of Water," it's safe to assume that James Cameron has once again done the impossible. For over 13 years, he toiled away in his own little underwater world, while we made jokes about whether the sequels would ever make it to the screen. You would think that the filmmaker behind "Aliens," "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," and "Titanic," three of the most revered blockbusters ever made, would have earned the ben

What A Good Sequel Needs To Do, According To Avatar: The Way Of Water Director James Cameron
James Cameron hasn't directed a movie since 2009, and the fact that he's returning with "Avatar: The Way of Water," a sequel to the highest-grossing movie of all time, raises the expectations for his new film even higher.
Despite the first "Avatar" film's financial success, the cultural relevance and staying power in the hearts and minds of viewers has waned. And it should be safe to assume that for "The Way of Water" to find similar success to its predecessor, it needs to do more than just ...

After all, how else would you know to put the "prestige" in prestige television?
Well, as eye-rolling and cliched as this tendency may be, I'm here to admit that I'm a complete and total hypocrite, because I happily ate that up and asked ...

James Cameron Wrote Avatar 1.5 To Help Sam Worthington And Zoe Saldańa Prepare For The Way Of Water
As we head into "Avatar" season, it's worth noting just how successful James Cameron's sci-fi epic was at the time of its release.

Although folks like to make the same jokes about the film resembling "Dances with Wolves" or "FernGully," the truth of the matter is that "Avatar" is a wholly original idea that went on to secure the coveted spot of the highest grossing movie

When you're this good in New York City, you're guaranteed at least one "Law & Order" role; Harbour booked three. When he made himself available for movies, he nail

The White Lotus Season 2 Is Fantasy Fulfillment Gone Terribly Wrong

It's also not about murder or money or even doing cocaine at epic palazzo parties (though Jennifer Coolidge in episode 6 might just convince you otherwise).

James Cameron Carried A Core Theme Of The Abyss Over To Avatar: The Way Of Water

Given that Randal has limited resources, he elects to make a movie about his own life as it appeared 28 years before, set at the same convenience store where he currently works.

The idea of a less jolly Santa is a wellspring of humor and broken spines in Tommy Wirkola's "Violent Night," which sees David Harbour's Santa Claus doling out "season's beatings" in defense of a child on his coveted "good" list. As "Violent Night" steers its sleigh into theaters t

The Most Brutal Moments In Saving Private Ryan

Starring Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Matt Damon, and Tom Sizemore, "Saving Private Ryan" went on to win a handful of Academy Awards, including best director for Spielberg, but ultimately lost best picture to "Shakespeare in Love"...

Come season 3, however, the show is done hiding Asriel's true mission and its actual plot behind vaguely religious metaphors. Lyra's bad dad is on a mission to literally slay God in a retelling of John Milton's "Paradise Lost" that features angels, weapons capable of cutting the very fabric of reality, and, most i

The Mean One Review: A Killer Seuss Satire That Can't Justify Its Own Existence
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I am in complete support of children's entertainment icons being repurposed into horrific killers. While it might be a bit cheap, I'm of the belief that these stories serve to de-establish the creative control that soul-sucking companies have on these characters. While not necessarily an act of artistic rebellion, parodies that twist the meanings of stories popularized by the likes of Disney or Warner Bros. should be welcomed with a lot more intrigue than

Another day, another "Black Adam" story. Improbable as it might seem, the Dwayne Johnson-led DC superhero film might wind up losing money, despite being #1 at the box office three weeks in a row.
By now, you've likely heard ad nauseam all about how "Black Adam" was supposed to change "the hierarchy of power" in the DC Universe. The movie opened in U.S. theaters back on October 21, 2022, and over the last seven weeks, it has continued its global rollout, opening in countries like China in N...

Barry Sonnenfeld Turned Down Forrest Gump To Direct The Addams Family Sequel
Upon reflection, there couldn't be two '90s Hollywood studio films that are more opposite than Barry Sonnenfeld's "Addams Family Values" and Robert Zemeckis' "Forrest Gump." Both released in the mid-1990s (although the novel "Forrest Gump" was released a decade before making it to the big screen), the two films might represent the ends of an anarchist spectrum. On the one hand, the Addams family is a creepy bunch of murderers who live in a strange haunted mansion, and who take delight in the mi

Director Bobby Farrelly is re-teaming with his old "Kingpin" star, Woody Harrelson, for "Champions," a new comedy about a guy who becomes the court-ordered coach for a team of basketball players with intellectual disabilities.
In addition to "Kingpin," Farrelly, as one-half of the Farrelly brothers, co-wrote and/or co-directed such films as "Dumb and Dumber," "There's Something About Mary," "Me, Myself & Irene," and "Shallow Hal." Since the sequel "Dumb and Dumber To" in 2014, he and h...

Kirstie Alley, Star Of Cheers, Drop Dead Gorgeous, And More Has Died At 71
Today is a very complicated day for a generation of comedy fans. Kirstie Alley, of "Cheers," the "Look Who's Talking" trilogy, and "Veronica's Closet" fame, has died of cancer at the age of 71. With a career spanning over four decades, Alley was a seminal comedic figure and trailblazer for women in comedy. She was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1995 for her contributions to film and television, and her willingness to discuss the systemic mistreatment of fat actresses made her an

One Key To Mel Brooks' Comedy Was Knowing Exactly When To Break The Fourth Wall
As a member of the legendary writing staff of NBC's "Your Show of Shows" in the 1950s, Mel Brooks played a key role in pushing the formal boundaries of television comedy, so it stands to reason that he would be equally adventurous behind the lens of a film camera. Taking his cues from such pioneering entertainments as Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" and H.C. Potter's "Hellzapoppin'," Brooks played broadly to viewers, occasionally breaking the fourth wall to get them involved in the front. He does...

After reviving the franchise his father Ivan Reitman began in the 1980s, Jason Reitman is set to hand off the reigns to the next "Ghostbusters" sequel according to Deadline. The filmmaker will reportedly take on a writer-producer role in the follow-up to last year's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," while Gil Kenan is headed for the director's seat in addition to co-penning the script with Reitman. The core cast of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," which included Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon, is also set to ret

The Chance To Finally Play A Romantic Lead Lured Harrison Ford Into A Box Office Bomb
Legendary Hollywood men typically stick to specific archetypes when playing the romantic lead in their films. Where Humphrey Bogart was often coarse and cynical with a heart of gold, Cary Grant tended to be debonair and sharp-witted with a mischievous streak. At the peak of his movie stardom, Harrison Ford had a touch of both those gents. He was a cocky scoundrel who bore his skepticism like a shield yet would allow himself to be unguarded and even sweet in the right company. Ford was also just

Moments In Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery That Make No Sense
The following post contains spoilers for "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery."
With "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," writer-director Rian Johnson has crafted a glaring look at the trickle-down effect of stupidity. Here, common sense is a currency in flux. It holds little value for wunderkind tech billionaire Miles Braun (Edward Norton), so it's not utilized on his island — not by Braun, and not by his guests (save for Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc, of course).
Accordingly, Johnson's film i...

Surprisingly, Sigourney Weaver Hasn't Acted In Front Of A Green Screen Since Ghostbusters
We're a few weeks away from the return of the box office king, James Cameron. His newest film, "Avatar: The Way of Water," is our first return to the world of "Avatar" since the 2009 original. But what's a director without his muse? Working once again with Cameron is the incomparable Sigourney Weaver, this time playing the role of Jake Sully's (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri's (Zoe Saldana) adopted 14-year-old Na'vi daughter, Kira, who may or may not be the reincarnation of Weaver's initial "Avat

Bong Joon-Ho's Mickey 17 Gets Release Date And A Quick Teaser Featuring Robert Pattinson
Cue up your "Return of the King" title card memes, because Bong Joon-ho will be returning to our screens in 2024. Out of nowhere, Warner Bros. released the first look at the sci-fi drama "Mickey 17" to their social media channels, and admittedly, there's not a lot of footage to parse through and analyze. However, what we do see is a shirtless Robert Pattinson lying on some kind of futuristic medical table, as well as a tag that Warner Bros. will release the film on March 29, 2024.

Why Sesame Street's Bob McGrath Mattered To Generations Of Kids – And Especially Musicians
A bright, benevolent light went out on December 4, 2022, when Bob McGrath passed away at the age of 90. For 47 years, he maintained a residence as Bob Johnson on "Sesame Street," where, at an amazing 130-episode-per-season clip (until 1998), he taught children the joy of music. Whenever Bob dropped by Gordon and Susan Robinson's apartment, or popped his head into Mr. Hooper's shop, you knew a sing-a-long was imminent. He had a load of songs in his arsenal, and not a bum one in the bunch. But as

Tommy Lee Jones Wanted Men In Black's Script To Pick One: Comedy Or Science Fiction
For decades, the mythology of the Men in Black has hovered over the UFO community. Legend says that investigating paranormal phenomena, spotting unidentified craft, or encountering alien beings often leads to a scary visit from pale men in black suits who threaten the witness to keep quiet about what they've seen. Many supposed eyewitnesses claim that these men are government agents or shape-shifting aliens tasked with keeping the existence of the paranormal a secret from humanity, while skepti

2016's Holiday Horror Film Better Watch Out Almost Ended Very Differently
With the arrival of December comes embracing the Christmas horror subgenre. When it's good, it's good. When it's bad, you still can't turn away. There's just something about the holidays going absolutely wrong that serves as both nightmare fuel and brilliant catharsis depending on the execution. It's why holiday horror film classics like "Black Christmas" and "Gremlins" still reign supreme on many of the Best Christmas horror lists to this day.
In the case of Chris Peckover's "Better Watch Ou...

The Truly Epic Story Of How The Battle Of Helm's Deep Was Filmed
"It was a microcosm of what the whole movie was about in a way," Viggo Mortensen muses in "Return to Middle-earth," a WB TV special looking back at the making of the "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," the middle chapter of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy trilogy. "Just egging each other on to go past your limits. I hated it, I enjoyed it, I will always remember it."
"It was a nightmare," says Orlando Bloom.
The "it" in question is Helm's Deep, and the brutal four months that went into creating o

Robin Williams' Time On Mork & Mindy Wasn't Without Controversy
Comedy theft is no joke but its legal recourse might as well be. Here's the thing: it's incredibly difficult to prove. Unlike more tangible art forms, oral comedy rarely leaves a traceable mark outside of memory. Granted, savvy comedians will see their craft documented by means of recording (and hopefully copyright), yet even that hardly certifies progeneration, rather only usage. Obviously, there's a lot more to it than this. The point we're trying to make is that legal ownership in the arena...
