But in addition to speaking out against the injustices of the world, Ava DuVernay has become somewhat of a trailblazer in the world of filmmaking with the 2018 release of A Wrinkle in Time, her contributions to film academies, and even her work in comic book movies. And with several of DuVernay’s projects being more

Robert Pattinson is gearing up for a heck of a year as a movie star, not only with the release of Tenet, but when he suits back up for The Batman soon in London. The production featuring Zoe Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright and Colin Farrell is getting ready to resume ahead of

By that time, World War I had concluded, and Arthur Conan Doyle lost both his brother and eldest son in the conflict. So when he returned to write those final Sherlock Holmes stories, he infused both the detective and his partner, Dr. John Watson, with new “significant new character traits.” Of particular note, as laid

I am willing to bet that most people who have watched this movie forget that a police car fell from the airship, but not my son. As soon as the car fell he started asking about it with questions like, “Why is the police car in the water?” for quite some time. That night, he

And it makes total sense why they would want to get Chicken Run 2 into high gear, considering the film made $224.8 million on a $45 million budget. But with such a long gap between movies, perhaps the studio feared it might not have the same success in theater and decided to opt for Netflix,

The First Letter Of Each Inception Character’s Names Combines Into An Intriguing Acronym Needless to say, Inception is one deep film (literally and figuratively), with clever, multilayered design in almost detail, right down to even the names of the central characters. While each character’s name does possess a certain symbolic meaning, such as the architect

Thunderball (1965) Several times in the history of the James Bond franchise, the cold open entails someone’s death or funeral; with Bond being “killed” several times himself. Thunderball uses a funeral for one Col. Jacques Bouvar as the grist for its adventure mill, as Bond attends the proceedings to bury this particular foe in this

So for now, Deadpool super fans will have to turn to a decapitated talking head toy for their daily Deadpool fix. I mean, if you can push past hearing a voice that isn’t Ryan Reynold’s voice, deal with the uncanny nature of having a decapitated head sarcastically talking to you and maybe risk losing a

While there is nothing quite like the experience of seeing a live hit Broadway play with its original cast, there is an obvious hiccup with it as a form of popular entertainment: not everybody in the world can experience it. Not only can it be expensive to travel to New York, but tickets can be

Oh, yeah! Cypher Raige in After Earth, Deadshot in Suicide Squad, Henry Brogan AND Junior in the recent Gemini Man, and even James West in Wild, Wild West, which is steampunk, a sub-genre of Science Fiction. I’m sorry, but when you’re starring in sub-genres of science fiction, you’ve made it, man. You’ve made it.

Like, what’s the point of the avalanche? Couldn’t xXx just destroy the tower without all the theatrics and damage caused by one of the most powerful forces of nature on the planet? And how is he able to outrun the wall of snow, ice, and rock while everyone on snowmobiles gets consumed by it? I

During his chat with THR, he made a good point when noting the difference in what the superhero genre looks like now and what it looked like back in the early 2000s. During that time, superhero movies weren’t as plentiful and were fairly straightforward in terms of storytelling. Today, Hollywood is experiencing a surplus of

Purple Man (Kim Coates) David Tennant gave one of the best performances of his career with his portrayal of Kilgrave, also known as Purple Man, on the Netflix series Jessica Jones, but if he isn’t able to return if the character is brought into a future Marvel film, then Kim Coates would be an ideal

The Bride has long been an iconic movie monster and, like Frankenstein, her story has always been a tragic one. But she’s largely been relegated to a supporting role. That doesn’t mean her story won’t resonate with audiences today. It seems reasonable to expect that the new Bride of Frankenstein, like The Invisible Man, will

Oh, how Spider-Man has changed! The character has obviously faced a major evolution since the first live-action version graced the screen, with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland having taken on the mantle in the years after. The first version didn’t delve into Peter Parker’s abilities to craft his own web shooters like later versions did.

Pantha Another character who also has fought with the Titans, Doom Patrol, and even the Justice League is Rosabelle Mendez, the only heroic person in the DC Multiverse who truly lives up to the Pantha alias, having been mutated into a cat-like humanoid by the Wildebeest Society. She would later cross over into the dark

The movie reportedly cost upwards of $200 million to make, which, if true, makes this Christopher Nolan’s most expensive original project (The Dark Knight Rises would still

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) Robert Rodriguez directed From Dusk Till Dawn, and Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay. Tarantino also co-stars in it with George Clooney. The cast also includes Juliette Lewis, Harvey Keitel, Cheech Marin, and Salma Hayek. From Dusk Till Dawn follows bank robbing brothers Seth and Richie Gecko. One heist leads to

Not all of the details surrounding safety and protocols have been released, but thanks to an interview AMC’s CEO Adam Aron gave to Variety, we know some of the specifics. The chain will require employees to wear masks, but it will only “strongly encourage” it from customers, except in locations in which mask wearing is

As for what we can expect from Tenet, the movie follows a secret agent who’s been tasked with stopping World War III, and a strange phenomena called time inversion factoring heavily into his mission. The main cast includes John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, Dimple Kapadia and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Black Orchid A lesser-known character who would be an intriguing addition to the DCEU is Black Orchid, a woman who possesses many of the more common superhero abilities of flight, invulnerability, and super strength, but her most important, and unique, talent is disguise. The Black Orchid is an alias that has been passed down from

Interestingly, the first Fifty Shades of Grey film also some vibes similar to 365 Days. There are the obvious power dynamics between the two main characters, Laura and Massimo in the new Netflix movie and Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey in the other popular franchise. Then there are the fairytale Beauty and the Beast comparisons,

According to one theater owner’s account to Variety, Universal executives asked to split ticket sales for The King of Staten Island with them, but it came off as an unfair demand considering the film would also be simultaneously available to rent at home too. In one anonymous independent theater owner’s words:

The Candyman – Candyman (1992) Candyman is huge for black actors in horror since we had our first real franchise character (outside of Blacula) with Tony Todd as the eponymous Candyman. Candyman was based off a Clive Barker short story called “The Forbidden” and was the son of a slave who is brought back to

The scene in question, where Dana Barrett, sees otherworldly creatures inside her refrigerator, isn’t particularly funny. It’s actually legitimately creepy and one of the scarier moments in all of Ghostbusters, which has quite a few moments like that, even though the rest of the movie is a comedy. However, it seems that Bill Murray thought

One is a very simple line, it’s only four words, but I like the way it came to be in the movie in that people liked it. I was finishing Death Becomes Her when I was writing Jurassic Park, and we had an ending that was really disastrous at first from one of these horrible

Of course, as far as Warner Bros choosing to go with Jason Todd being the dead sidekick rather than Dick Grayson, that likely had to do with the studio putting a Nightwing movie into development, as that’s the identity Dick takes on after retiring as Robin, thus requiring him to be alive. However, there hasn’t

Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic Gladiator was a massive hit when it arrived in theaters. The movie ultimately earned a whopping 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe. Gladiator remains apart of pop culture, with fans having waited decades for a possible sequel to finally arrive in theaters. Notes film producer
