Conversely, if your Easter time has proved somewhat sucky, there is comfort here. Snuggle up, fire up the streamers, and bathe your brain in endorphins, with this collection which ranges from modern classics to nostalgic delights. Bridesmaids (2011) You might remember it for the pooing in the street bit, but that moment far from defines a movie that is a celebration of female friendship, where Kristen Wiig calls a teenage girl the c-word....

Nevertheless, for those looking for more bite-sized distractions over the usual binging blur on streaming services, there is still relief coming on Netflix. While all of the below movies are relatively recent, chances are you haven’t seen any of them in a long time, if at all. So sit back, relax, and find out the best options to Netflix and chill this April. Insidious (2011) April 1 As the movie that arguably ushered in the horror movie renaissance of the 2010s—or at least cemented the Blumhouse Productions formula—Insidious has become strangely overlooked....

In amongst the new series of cult reality shows like The Great British Bake Off, Strictly Come Dancing, Drag Race UK and I’m a Celebrity, UK TV networks start a fierce competition for the must-watch autumn dramas that will get everyone talking, leaving us with an eye-watering number of release dates to look forward to. Here are some of the highlights from the UK’s autumn 2022 drama releases. The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself (Netflix, October) Netflix’s Spooky Season line-up includes this eight-part drama based on the Half Bad trilogy of YA books by Sally Greene....

Carol Burnett’s Television Beginnings The San Antonio-born Burnett kicked off her career by pounding the pavement, experiencing a number of rejections along with her fellow residents at the boarding house, The Rehearsal Club. Flipping the script on the classic show business success story, they invited agents and Hollywood stars to live performances highlighting the talents of the aspirational starlets. This led to a handful of TV and film appearances over the next several years as she landed recurring roles on The Garry Moore Show, The Lucy Show, and Gomer Pyle, not to mention a one-off appearance in the original Twilight Zone series for its “Cavender Is Coming” episode....

In a running voiceover, Pulver casually informs us that this is the 140th time he’s done this. And he still can’t figure out why or how it’s happening, or how to break out of the time loop he’s stuck in. All he knows is that he will wake up again on the very same morning and despite doing everything he can to prevent it, will nevertheless get shot or stabbed, or beheaded or run over, for reasons unknown....

The beloved actor and cult legend isn’t being serious. The reality is that DC Horror editor Katie Kubert, coincidentally the granddaughter of Sgt. Rock’s legendary co-creator, reached out to him thinking he’d be a good fit to write a horror comic. But despite Campbell’s superhero-ready good looks, and all the ways he’s flirted with the genre on screen during his career, wasn’t a comics expert. After looking through a DC encyclopedia breaking down potential characters, he was immediately drawn to the badass World War II hero of Sgt....

The Criterion Collection has officially announced Bruce Lee: His Greatest Hits, which will be released on July 14. The 7-disc Blu-ray box set will showcase 4K digital restorations of fist-flying films, The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Game of Death, and The Way of the Dragon. Additionally, Lee’s signature film and iconoclastic actioner, Enter the Dragon, will also be included in this set; an eye-opening addition, since the film—as a co-production of Warner Bros....

“Once more into the fray, right guys?” Let’s just bottom line things right up front here: This is Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘s strongest — and most entertaining — season. So naturally (in what is rapidly becoming the streaming giant’s signature move) Netflix canceled the series just as it reached its creative peak. The eight episodes of this fourth and final chapter of the Archie Comics-inspired series have it making bold character choices and plot developments that are genuinely surprising....

Cinderella walks a fine line between heartfelt and ridiculous, and mostly gets it right. Ella’s (Cabello) dreams to open her own dress shop are real. She wants to create and charter her own life, to not be dependent on others. It’s a relatable and modern character motivation and grounds the film from start to finish. She’s also incredibly sweet, awkward, and optimistic despite the circumstances she finds herself in; a combination that works and makes you cheer for her from start to finish....

“Are you sure about that?” Even without seeing who said it, fans of The Karate Kid knew exactly who it was. It had to be Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto), the nemesis of Daniel (Ralph Macchio) from The Karate Kid Part II. The line whetted our appetites at the end of the season 3 teaser released back in August 2020. In December, Netflix released the full season 3 trailer which confirmed the appearance of both Chozen and Daniel’s love interest, Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita)....

In the movie, Murphy primarily plays Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of the fictional kingdom of Zamunda and a man in desperate need of a modern, free-thinking wife. Hence he rejects his arranged marriage and flees to the United States, ending up in (where else?) Queens, New York. The film is a showcase of Murphy’s talent at not only playing wide-eyed nobility but also, alongside co-star Arsenio Hall, portraying just about every supporting character in the film....

We don’t say that frivolously. Star Trek: The Motion Picture is one of Hollywood’s most famous “unfinished” films. Rushing to meet a December 7, 1979 release date, with many of the visual effects being completed right up until the last possible minute by Douglas Trumbull (who had replaced the previous VFX supervisor), director Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Sound of Music) pretty much just stopped working on the film, carrying the first available print on a plane to the movie’s Washington D....

While we anticipated that Cyberpunk 2077 would ship with plenty of bugs, which honestly wasn’t all that difficult to predict given the game’s turbulent year, those who have played the full version of Cyberpunk 2077 have confirmed that the game isn’t just burdened by the usual array of open-world performance issues but a truly worrisome collection of game-breaking glitches that could severely impact the title’s launch. Based on the early Cyberpunk 2077 reviews and other impressions of the full game, here are some of the more notable Cyberpunk 2077 bugs you need to know:...

Dark Matter Season 2, Episode 13 With both of the two Dark Matter season finales viewers have enjoyed thus far, the reaction has been similar: utter amazement and shock at the chaotic ending followed by pensiveness at the plot threads left dangling. Where some may have cried out last season at the betrayal of Six, others are this year no doubt bereft at the treachery of Four. Regardless of any remnant dissatisfaction, though, there can be no argument that this show knows how to end a season....

What is Webtoon? If you’re unfamiliar, Webtoon is a mobile-driven platform for web-based comics that is free to download on iOS and Android, and it has only been growing since its launch in 2014. It utilizes a vertical structure that allows readers to scroll down in a continuous single page, and it is a very pleasing way to read comic stories. It’s also extremely mobile-friendly, which is good news for companies looking to expand into mobile-first international markets and to attract younger readers....

In some ways, this update felt inevitable. After all, Dead by Daylight already stars many of the greatest slashers in horror film history (including Freddy Kreuger, Leatherface, Ghostface, and Michael Myers), so it only makes sense that the developers would eventually find a way to add Pinhead to the game and come one step closer to completing their collection of genre icons. Then again, it’s always felt a little odd to so casually throw Pinhead into that particular cast of characters considering that he is, in many ways, the most unlikely slasher icon of all time....

First and most importantly, Phillips and co. knew that in continuing the story, they would have to contend with the original series’ infamous, contentious ending, and that there was no way to erase the sight of Dexter Morgan: lumberjack. ‘What we wanted to do was acknowledge the fact that almost a decade has passed,” Phillips told TCA attendees. “We didn’t want to just say to the audience ‘Oh, lumberjack. Forget it....

Dexter: New Blood Episode 9 This is as good as Dexter gets. While Dexter: New Blood has done more than enough to remove the bad taste left by the original series’ mostly maddening final three seasons, “The Family Business” justifies reviving the show. It’s the best episode of the series since season 4, containing most of the elements that made the deliciously dark drama irresistible; there’s plenty of black humor mixed in, interesting conversations about vigilantism and justice, difficult questions about mitigating problematic behavior, suspenseful games of cat and mouse, and it’s all anchored by knock-out performances....

After years of hype, several changes, and more than a few debates, Diablo Immortal is finally set to launch this week. As is sometimes the case with modern video game releases, though, figuring out what time you’ll actually be able to install and play the game can be a nightmare worthy of the Diablo franchise. Let’s start with the basics. Diablo Immortal is a free-to-play game that will soon be available for Windows PCs as well as iOS and Android devices (please see here for exact system specifications)....

Other than Deep Space Nine and elements of Enterprise Season 3, the Star Trek series that cracked serialized storytelling for the Final Frontier was Star Trek: Discovery. And as anyone who has watched TV since 2003 can tell you: season-long mysteries often work best when they’re not actually what you thought they were. In Discovery Season 1, two major twists hinged on secret identities, a concept which was semi-repeated in Season 2 when guessing the identity of “the Red Angel” became the focus of nearly every episode....
