We’re going into the new year with things beginning to look up, at least film wise. The Christmas release of Disney’s Soul, starring big names such as Jaime Foxx and Tina Fey, is seeing a success like we haven’t witnessed since major new films have resumed releasing after COVID shut downs. Not only are fans

Ok, so I know we’re all supposed to look at 2020 with a death glare and while that is valid for all kinds of reasons, if part of your heart and ears belong to Ms. Taylor Swift, it wasn’t too shabby. Looking back over the last year may have actually been the best year ever

#9. One Night In Miami Average Score: 4.1/5 Regina King has been on an incredible roll in the last few couple years, following up her Oscar-winning work in If Beale Street Could Talk with the awe-inspiring Watchmen on HBO, and applause is only growing louder now that she’s followed up those projects with her directorial

As a leader in the #ReleaseSnyderCut movement, Zheng receiving this image (from Snyder himself, we’re going to assume) is well deserved given her’s, as well as the DCEU fandom’s, arduous work. It showed Snyder’s appreciation for the fandom. The movement gained traction as soon as Justice League was released to a tepid reception. Fans can

How Pixar’s Soul Ended Joe gets in the zone to return to the Great Before or the You Seminar. He then learns that 22 has become a lost soul because she has become obsessed with what Joe last told her and repeatedly being told by the You Seminar Mentors that she was not good enough

In 1997, just five years after he debuted in the Image Comics pages, Spawn made the jump to the big screen, with Michael Jai White starring as the demonic character and his original persona, Al Simmons. Alas, Spawn did not perform critically or commercially, and creator Todd McFarlane has spent more than a decade trying

In the process, Joe (and several others in the film) talk about something that is very specific for artists — the “zone” of creativity. As portrayed in Soul, the zone is a moment where one basically loses themselves inside of their art, floating away on a vibe of artistic influence. There’s a moment during a

For those who haven’t seen the theatrical version of Justice League lately, Hippolyta appeared when Steppenwolf landed on Themyscira to retrieve the Mother Box that the Amazons had been protecting since Earth’s forces thwarted the Apokoliptan general’s invasion of Earth thousands of years ago, with the other two Mother Boxes going to the humans and

It’s a film that you’re meant to let your mind get lost in, as what begins as a simple story about a young woman meeting her boyfriend’s parents for the first time devolves into a meditation on the subjects of identity, time, and life, all while being simultaneously freaky and funny. The outstanding cast including

9. Looks That Kill One great beauty of the romantic comedy is how it can come from anywhere and doesn’t need a big story or studio behind it to be memorable. Every year, there are a couple of indie gems that come from the genre, and Looks That Kill is a great wildcard you may

As previously stated, the battle between Diana and Cheetah is well done and doesn’t feel nearly as overblown. Meanwhile, Maxwell Lord’s takeover of the airwaves and offer of wishes succeeds in making the threat feel universal, as many across the world make reckless demands, with serious consequences. And of course, Diana’s appeal to Lord and

While most major markets remain closed, including Los Angeles and New York, Wonder Woman 1984 played in over 2,100 locations this past weekend in North America – albeit with theaters operating at limited capacity. The film also got a lot of eyeballs overseas where HBO Max isn’t available yet, and to date has made $68.3

The Patty Jenkins-directed chapter of the DC Extended Universe premiered simultaneously (where available) in theaters and on HBO Max on Friday, a.k.a. on Christmas Day, and per an official press release from Warner Bros. the film managed to generate tremendous excitement. According to the studio, Wonder Woman 1984 was viewed by nearly half of the

Eventually, a young man, Willie, and his grandfather, Thoroughgood, see Beauty at the market. Despite being in bad shape, they see the potential with him and buy him. At Willie and his grandfather’s farm, Beauty is able to recover back to health. They then plan to sell him to three ladies in search of a

In Wonder Woman 1984, the Invisible Jet isn’t something that just exists, but instead something that Diana essentially creates. While attempting to steal a jet with Steve Trevor, the superhero winds up using the same kind of magic that helped the Amazons hide Themyscira from Man’s World on the planet, and, voila, the famed comic

Amelia Warner says she did speak to director John Patrick Shanley about whether or not tackling the project was a good idea, and once she said yes, he was very supportive and helped her in the process. She also noted that the director was very involved and gave her notes she refers to as “concise”

Throughout his illustrious career, Sylvester Stallone has gotten to do a lot of things, but his appearances in these Japanese commercials will definitely that stand out. They may look weird on the surface, but we have to remember that they did allow him more exposure. They also allowed Japanese fans the chance to see an

This is a frustrating element about Wonder Woman 1984. While we’d imagine she’s lived an interesting life away from Steve in between the ‘20s and the ‘80s, and has moved on, there is a part of Diana’s arc that feels like we haven’t fast-forwarded a lifetime. I believe this unintentionally happens as the filmmakers set

Plenty of huge movies have been set in and around the United States capitol. While movies like All The President’s Men are obviously about politics, other films like The Exorcist merely use Washington D.C. as a backdrop. Wonder Woman 1984 is the latest film to take place in and around the home of American politics

As Clea DuVall notes, it’s easy as a fan of Happiest Season to let a kind of anger rule the day and see Abby spurn Harper at the end. After all, Harper’s behavior towards her girlfriend when her family is around is downright mean at some points in the film, and Riley is not only

And she succeeds, but only after a devastating sacrifice. Diana renounces her wish, knowing it’s the only way to get back to full power. In doing so, she bids farewell, again, to her true love Steve Trevor (Chris Pine). Mind you, this isn’t exactly Steve Trevor, and more a manifestation created by the Dreamstone when

She continues on without saying a word, but the mother she saved quickly follows after her asking for the opportunity to say thank you. The mysterious hero spins around and we see that it is Wonder Woman television star Lynda Carter, who introduces herself as Asteria – explaining that her name comes from “her culture.”

Jean Shepherd (Narrator) And then there is Jean Shepherd, who not only appears as the man at the department store scolding Ralphie and Randy in A Christmas Story, but also provided the narration and wrote the film’s script, which was based on a collection of his semi-autobiographical short stories. The legendary American storyteller, radio, and

Clearly absence clearly doesn’t mean the total lack of interest, so the Alita: Battle Angel legacy could still be in the pipeline. Though even if that’s not particularly true just yet, Robert Rodriguez’s latest efforts in the Disney+ family, such as The Book of Boba Fett, seem to be olive branches that could lead to

The Confessions of a Shopaholic actress talked about how she actually got really invested in the process of cutting together the movie during her appearance on the talk show.

Both Ariana DeBose and her co-star Jo Ellen Pellman identify as queer, making The Prom’s representation of a female relationship more progressive than prior explorations of the subject. DeBose believes women with their experiences were vital to making The Prom a musical with valid representation. Although DeBose’s character doesn’t have as much screen time as
