Yet, his output in the 21st century has been so unexceptional that even the director soured on the industry and its press (including film reviewers like myself), choosing a state of perpetual semi-retirement as he transitions increasingly to being a geek showman via podcasts, tours, and other fan-outreach programs. But as a storyteller, it’s only been for the better. As with Red State, Tusk showcases a director who hasn’t been this playful and confident in his vision for over a decade....

Seriously, though. Carnage appeared in a Broadway musical ten years before he got to be in the movies. I’ll never get over that. If you haven’t watched the crazy trailer yet, press pause on your Green Jelly CD and check this out. What can we gather from this trailer? Fun fact: the 2004 comic book miniseries Venom vs. Carnage (by Peter Milligan and Clayton Crain) was the first time anyone’s played with the fun concept of a symbiote and its host acting like an old married couple....

We don’t have to wonder anymore. In a significant transition to a day-and-date model that makes Wonder Woman’s break of the theatrical window look like a small crack, WB announced Thursday that its entire film slate for 2021 was going to premiere on HBO Max. The move will put all 17 of WB’s scheduled 2021 films on a “hybrid” model where films will premiere on HBO Max the same day as their theatrical release in the U....

In “Enter the Dragon,” the ninth episode of Season 2, Warrior rips a page out from history with its depiction of San Francisco Riot of 1877. On July 23, two nights of racial violence tore through Chinatown, killing four and destroying over $100,000 worth of Chinese-owned property. In Warrior there’s a much higher body count, but the show is “historical fiction” and never set out to be entirely accurate. According to Warrior’s head writer Jonathan Tropper, “What’s important to us are the themes and the characters of the truths of the racism and the difficulty of the immigrant experience at that time....

Warrior Season 2 Episode 9 Enter the Dragon was Bruce Lee’s most significant film and is regarded as one of the greatest martial arts films of all time. It was the first major Hollywood and Hong Kong co-production, and it also became one of the most profitable films of all time. Tragically, Lee didn’t live to see its success. He died a month prior to the premiere of Enter the Dragon....

In a recap of his previous roles for GQ, Hemsworth recalled the trepidation he felt when he came into the film. While Hemsworth did get to do a few jokes in movies such as Cabin in the Woods, The Perfect Getaway, and Vacation, he was primarily known for playing imposing and handsome characters like Thor. Hemsworth describes the experience of looking at the script for his scenes as only loosely sketched out, because he and the others would be improvising....

YouTuber Gamecheat13 has uploaded a supposedly cut mid-credits scene for Halo Infinite that may tease the next chapter of Halo Infinite‘s story. Before we dive deeper into that scene and what it could mean, I should mention that you should take all of this information with a grain of salt. While the scene itself appears to be legitimate, it’s currently not clear why it may have been cut from the game....

A lot of the complaints about The Crimes Of Grindelwald from fans stemmed from the film’s crowded plotting, and the deleted scenes do some vital work to rectify this. Relationships and storylines that felt unfinished or as if audiences had missed a step are now filled in, and characters like Leta and Nagini are better served in the extended cut. Notable footage includes an alternate opening that sees the particles of Credence’s Obscurial coming back together after the character seemingly perished at the end of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, before he boards a boat to Paris....

The series stars Ewan McGregor as an older Obi-Wan who has seen better days. Not only does he live in a cave on a remote desert planet run by scum but he’s still haunted by his past. In fact, the Jedi Master has much to reckon with in the new series, including his failure to save Anakin Skywalker from the dark side and the lure of the Sith. It’s not all that surprising that Uncle Owen wants Obi-Wan to stay away from Luke....

Though Bridgerton is a story of multiple romances – and many different kinds of love – its first season centers primarily on the relationship between debutante Daphne Bridgerton and the roguish Simon Bassett, Duke of Hastings. But it would be a mistake to assume that the romance is the only story this series is trying to tell or even its ultimate endgame. In truth, the real story of Bridgerton’s first season is about a young woman coming into her own, learning who she is, what she really wants, and how to find her own strength along the way....

Director Jon Brewer was a rock manager before turning his camera on the players, including both Ronson and Bowie. “Managing artists is probably one of the most difficult things in the world,” Brewer tells Den of Geek. “At the end of the day, I played my role. I got them onstage, got them offstage, got them from hotel to hotel. When they OD’d, I was there. When they were accepting their awards, I was there....

Back in the late 90s, UK cinemas were still running an annual promotion where you got to see as many recently-released films as you liked for the tidy sum of £1 each. The promotion was usually only set up for one day, so movie buffs used to plan that day with extreme dedication. You had to line up the screening times just right to make sure no film overlapped, but if you had nerves of steel and a butt lining to match?...

Social commentary in motion pictures implies high art. Pink Flamingos, which premiered on a single screen in a rented theater in Baltimore 50 years ago, is an antisocial commentary. It goes in the other direction. Written, directed, produced, shot, edited, and narrated by counterculture icon John Waters, the film features singing assholes, chicken-crushing sexcapades, and dog-doo finger foods. It changed movies forever. Pink Flamingos was the first of Waters’ “Trash Trilogy,” which would go on to include Female Trouble (1974) and Desperate Living (1977)....

Of course, Spider-Man: No Way Home will have plenty for viewers to unpack when it finally drops in December, and the long-awaited revelations from its recent trailer were likely just the tip of the multiverse-twisting iceberg for the film. However, as the solo franchise reaches a third film benchmark that’s proven critical for Marvel movies, thoughts about an endpoint are undoubtedly spinning, especially since some Marvel Cinematic Universe solo standards like the Iron Man and (Chris Evans) Captain America films wrapped as trilogies, as will Guardians of the Galaxy....

In the new Disney+ series Willow, we’re getting to do just that as showrunner Jon Kasdan continues the story established in George Lucas and Ron Howard’s delightful dark fantasy from 1988. Decades after Willow Ufgood saved the world from evil, this series follows the daughter of his allies Madmartigan and Sorsha as she enlists Willow to help find her kidnapped brother. Soon they’re on an escapade through the kingdom with a party of unexpected adventurers hoping to find the true empress, Elora Danan (the chubby baby from the original film)....

Whenever you start playing TBC Classic, you’ll probably want to be up to speed on which classes are best in the new expansion’s upcoming PvE meta. Even if you don’t care about joining a raid group in TBC, you may just find yourself wondering exactly how viable your preferred class will be at the start of the expansion and for every phase that follows. While it’s still possible that Blizzard could make changes to TBC that subtly change the game’s PvE meta as we work our way through the expansion’s release phases, these are the best overall DPS, Healer, and Tank classes for TBC Classic‘s PvE mode based on what we currently know....

Rob Kirkland is a testament to that work ethic as the native son of Plainfield, New Jersey just knows you have to put in the work. Like many creative types, Rob focuses his energy not only through his acting, but his writing, marathon running, and training as a martial artist. So after countless hours of auditions or at the gym, it has to be one of the most warming sensations to know that you have been accepted in some small part of this massive industry....

Not only was Zappa a unique composer and bandleader, he was a ground-breaking film director, an innovative theatrical presence, and a voice of rebellion in worlds beyond music and the arts. His politics were far ahead of their time, and his critiques of society resonate strongly to this day. A vast majority of Americans know Zappa best because of his censorship battle with the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), and the documentary censors nothing....

The PS2 represents this incredible moment in the evolution of the genre when we were both benefiting from the ambition of the PS1 generation as well as getting to enjoy the ways that PS2 technology made true 3D gaming so much more viable than it had ever been before. The result was an elite group of developers finally getting the chance to watch their biggest dreams come to life in a way that was simply never possible up until that point....

After nine years, five seasons, and fifty-one episodes, Rick and Morty shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Even with season 6 hitting our screens and seasons 7 and 8 on the horizon, co-creator Dan Harmon has mentioned that he’d love to see the series hit 1000 episodes during its run. While we wait for the adventures of Rick and Morty to continue, we decided to take a look back at the episodes from the last five seasons to determine which are the best of the best....
