Turner recently made a gracious exit from the stage in HBO’s feature documentary Tina. She is also highlighted in Apple TV+’s upcoming 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything. This was the year Ike and Tina’s cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary” hit No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100, becoming their biggest hit. Tina had already established herself as the draw of the musical couple when they signed to Phil Spector’s Philles label....

Oblivion admittedly has its flaws, yet it is worth a second look if only because it so clearly has ambitions to be something so much more. In 2013 we had only recently gotten a glimpse at what the future held as the commercial effects of the first Avengers movie began to be felt. It was a year of two Marvel movies (three if you count The Wolverine), one Superman movie, and a slew of remakes, reboots, sequels and prequels, from The Hobbit, and The Hunger Games, to Star Trek: Into Darkness and G....

This is Davis’ second screen adaptation of a Wilson play in five years, following her performance as Rose Maxson in the 2016 film Fences, opposite Denzel Washington (the pair played the roles on Broadway as well in 2010). In real life, Ma was one of the earliest professional blues singers to record, as well as a trailblazing free spirit in terms of the way she lived her life and owned her enigmatic sexuality....

The Time Traveler’s Wife Episode 2 Review The Time Traveler’s Wife episode two explains a key part of how Henry’s powers work as well as the story’s philosophy towards couples getting together. While the episode explains why Henry and Clare will get together, it also takes some strange turns regarding Henry’s psychology. The episode starts with another clip from the documentary about Henry’s powers. Clare explains Henry can travel to the past or present within his own life span....

The artist is known for creating promo art for several high-profile games, most recently the key art for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Baslajik may have been hired to do the same for Injustice 3 (stylized “Injustic3” in the promo), although neither the artist nor WB Games have commented on the project. Adding fuel to the speculation fire is the fact that Baslajik tagged NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon on the promo....

Iron Fist, like its cohorts Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher , and crossover team-up The Defenders, became the casualty of a shifting landscape when Disney decided to cut out the production and distribution middle men (namely Netflix,) and have Marvel Studios natively produce more directly-connected MCU television projects for its own Disney+ platform. However, Jones—also a Game of Thrones alumnus, who has since moved on to co-star on Apple TV+ series Dickinson—recently dished some intriguing details to Collider on what was planned for Danny Rand/Iron Fist for the show’s unrealized third season....

While the distant planet Apokolips and its denizens were key to both versions of the film, only one of them actually introduced audiences to the evil intergalactic despot, Darkseid, and made it clear that Darkseid and pals weren’t nearly finished with Earth in their quest for the Anti-Life Equation at the conclusion of the movie. So wait, what does any of that have to do with Black Adam? Black Adam takes place almost entirely within the fictional nation of Kahndaq, which has been occupied and brutally oppressed by a well-organized, funded, and equipped group of mercenaries known as Intergang....

While talks are apparently only in the early stages between the actor and New Line Cinema, the production label at Warner Bros. who produced last year’s mega-surprise smash, It, the stars seem aligned for this to come together quickly. After last September’s It blew past expectations and earned $700 million at the box office, New Line fast tracked It: Chapter Two for a Sept. 6, 2019 release date. As that nears, this film will need to be shooting this summer, even as it still is also finalizing talks for director Muschietti to return....

iZombie Season 3, Episode 8 Like its CW sister show Supergirl, iZombie is a little bit more cultually in-the-know than most other network TV shows, using elements of modern youth culture to tell brain-of-the-week stories. In “Eat a Knievel,” iZombie dives into the world of the online prank and stunt shows that attract millions of viewers on platforms like YouTube. One only has to watch five minutes of tonight’s episode to realize how much value iZombie sees in the fad… “Eat a Knievel” was much darker than your average episode of iZombie, and a lot of that had to do with the murder of the week....

Talking to Den of Geek ahead of the release he says part of the draw was “as a creative, intellectual challenge to write a story, to develop a story, that could be a final chapter, and have it be satisfying, because if you think about a series of films like this, it almost becomes a long form television series where there’s chapters and episodes.” Ending a story arc which people are invested in comes with difficulties, which Fukunaga wanted to tackle head on....

So first off, I’m interested to know when the story for Guardians 2 came to you. The basics I knew before we started shooting the first movie. I didn’t know whether that was going to be a sequel, or the third movie, but I knew the story of the father and son was something I wanted to tell. Was that the story you always wanted to tell, or did it come from the characters?...

That’s not to say that Jessabelle isn’t without some merit. It does feature a couple of goosebump inducing moments, while Snook and Mark Webber – playing an old flame with whom she reconnects after her accident – give decent and empathetic performances. They’re just in service of a movie that is otherwise draped in the trappings of a dozen other horror films that came before this one, directed in unremarkable fashion by Kevin Gruetert, who was helming Saw sequels long after that franchise lost whatever flair it had....

Or maybe not. Asked about the project, which was first announced with a different director in 2014 before Carnahan came aboard three years later, Carnahan says that the English-language version of the stunning original has drifted away from being a true remake. “It’s our version of The Raid,” says Carnahan about the film, which will be produced for Screen Gems through his and actor Frank Grillo’s Warparty production banner. “I wrote that in a very modular way, so we had a disagreement with the existing property holders....

Costume dramas are certainly nothing new to Ben Daniels, having immersed himself into the world of the British Royals as Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon on The Crown, but Jupiter’s Legacy, and its world of spandex-clad superheroes, brings that notion to a whole new level. The British born Daniels launched his career on the stage, where he found himself nominated for one award after another, taking home the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2001 for Arthur Miller’s All My Sons....

“‘Earshot,’ the season three episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, is infamous for some not-great reasons. The episode was initially set to air right after the Columbine school shooting in April of 1999, but it was shelved until September due to a plotline that involved Buffy, who gets telepathic powers for the episode, seemingly thwarting a school shooting.” Read more at The Mary Sue. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a centuries-old brotherhood that left a trail of numerous skeletons....

“The Power Glove was not a failure. Sure, the licensed accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System from 1989 remains an infamous piece of retro tech — a game controller made into a right-hand glove, as if an Apple keyboard were stitched to an oven mitt — and was sold at retail for less than a year. But it still made money for those who invested in it, and its technical innovations paved the way for the next 30 years of gaming....

“Every six years, an alien comes to Earth looking for a fight. This has happened for generations. As a result, every six years, a team of expert martial artists must face him, using techniques this alien himself passed down centuries ago. If they don’t, everyone on Earth will die. Is Nicolas Cage up to the task?” Read more at Gizmodo. Looking forward to that big plate of roasted turkey on Thanksgiving?...

“‘It made me appreciate the changes within the franchise that were happening,’ says Lynch. It ‘made me excited as an actor. That first scene in Casino Royale is the most memorable opening scene in cinema history. I thought, ‘This is feeding my soul.’ It made me connect in a way I hadn’t before.’ 15 years later, Lynch is 007. In No Time to Die, Lynch co-stars as ‘Nomi,’ a young, skilled MI6 agent who replaces Craig’s retired Bond — and takes over his double-O alias....

“This year marks the 20th anniversary of the cultural juggernaut that is Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which started with the release of The Fellowship of the Ring on December 19, 2001. The movies could have been a lot different, though, and not just because one executive apparently had Hobbit murder on the brain. Here are 11 actors who were almost cast in the blockbuster fantasy series....

“Have you ever been to the Ghibli Museum? It’s a magical place! But, due to covid-19, it’s a place in need of extra cash. Last Friday, the city of Mitaka in Tokyo launched a crowdfunding drive in Japan, requesting 5,000 yen ($45) donations, which can be tax write-offs. The crowdfunding site, however, is only for residents of Japan.” Read more at Kotaku In honor of his 45th birthday, here are some interesting facts you might not have known about Benedict Cumberbatch....
