Night Shyamalan’s comic book-inspired thriller Unbreakable from 2000 had their mind blown when the end of the director’s 2016 film Split featured a surprise final scene that put the two films in the same universe.

Paul Thomas Anderson Doesn’t Think Superhero Movies Are Ruining Cinema By Germain Lussier/Jan. 15, 2015 1:30 pm EST Paul Thomas Anderson is definitely considered a champion of cinema. He’s a guy who shot his last film on 70mm film, loves the medium, and makes movies with deep characters and complex themes.

In short, he sounds like exactly the kind of person who’d be opposed to the boom of massive superhero movies at the box office....

Would all of America have opted to become moon landing truthers, just to stick it to the dreaded Russians? Would a future President have launched a nuclear strike on the moon in the ultimate, “Well I can’t have it, neither can you!...

Child’s Play Universal Few horror franchises have the staying power of “Child’s Play.” Not even a remake in 2019 could put a stop to the original franchise, which is still going strong thanks to the new “Chucky” TV series. The secret to that longevity has been the series’ ability to change with the times. Creator Don Mancini, who has been involved with every single film in the series (save the remake) and now the TV show, too, has wisely let Chucky be fluid....

The Book Of Boba Fett Trailer: The Original Mandalorian Returns To Conquer The Galaxy Disney+ By Max Evry/Nov. 1, 2021 10:30 am EST Disney+ has at last unveiled the trailer and poster for “The Book of Boba Fett,” the newest “Star Wars” TV series from Lucasfilm.

Why It’s Essential Viewing Janus Films What makes “Cure” so scary? It’s not the violence – although that is, indeed, disturbing, such as in a scene where a mesmerized killer indifferently peels a victim’s face off. And there’s nothing even close to a jump-scare in this movie. Instead, just as he did with the extraordinary “Pulse,” filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa conjures up horror with space and mood. The director often surrounds his actors with empty, dingy backdrops....

Why Casino Royale Is The Best James Bond Movie Eon Productions By Joshua Meyer/Oct. 7, 2021 12:28 pm EST The twenty-fifth canonical James Bond adventure, “No Time to Die,” brings an end to the Daniel Craig era of Bond, which has had its ups and downs, like any other era. At its best, the Craig movies have excelled at wringing character drama out of the long-running action franchise. It all started with “Casino Royale” in 2006....

Sure enough, “Jerusalem’s Lot” is a prequel to Salem’s Lot, and now here comes Chapelwaite, which takes considerable liberties with the source material while still remaining firmly within King’s world....

‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ Review: A ‘John Wick’ Wannabe That’s Never As Cool As It Thinks It Is By Josh Spiegel/July 13, 2021 7:03 am EST The impressive success of the John Wick films is much like the success of any franchise – if one studio has achieved it, another wants to duplicate it. So the existence of Gunpowder Milkshake, a new Netflix action film that feels reverse-engineered to draw in enough viewers to inspire at least one or two follow-up entries, is only surprising because it took so long for a studio to nakedly try to create its own John Wick....
