‘The Little Hours’ Trailer: Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza & Kate Micucci Are Dirty, Horny Nuns By Ethan Anderton/April 18, 2017 1:30 pm EST Last year, director Martin Scorsese brought us Silence, a pensive, harrowing story of 17th-century Portuguese missionaries, who embark on a perilous journey to Japan to find their missing mentor and struggle with the decision of renouncing their faith or suffering an agonizing death.

‘The Suicide Squad’ Early Buzz: Hilarious, Violent, And Surprisingly Heartfelt By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 15, 2021 6:16 am EST James Gunn has done it again, folks. The Guardians of the Galaxy director has worked his magic on DC’s The Suicide Squad, after moving across the aisle from Marvel where he had similarly injected new life into C-list comic book characters.

‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’ Review: A Refreshingly Simple, If Somewhat Forgettable Thriller By Chris Evangelista/May 12, 2021 8:00 am EST There’s something refreshing about the simplicity of Those Who Wish Me Dead. This is not a franchise-starting vehicle. It’s not a remake, nor is it based on a comic book, or an old TV show (it is adapted from a novel, though). It’s just a simple damn story that goes from point A to point B....

Eternals Proves Marvel Is Still Bulletproof At The Box Office, Relatively Speaking Marvel Studios By Ryan Scott/Nov. 8, 2021 2:48 pm EST Marvel once again brought its brand of blockbuster entertainment to audiences around the world this weekend with the release of “Eternals.” The sweeping epic centered on a group of largely unknown characters, created by the legendary Jack Kirby, topped the box office, easily trampling the competition. While there are many ways to look at the numbers in the early going, it seems to prove that the Marvel brand is relatively bulletproof in the modern marketplace....

Kings Row Kings Row tells the story of a pair of childhood friends, Parris (Robert Cummings) and Drake (Ronald Reagan) as they navigate the melodrama of a small town at the turn of the 19th century.

Deep Themes with Ridiculous Dressing Warner Bros. “Malignant” starts with some found footage of a doctor recording notes about one of her patients. It’s great stuff, reminiscent of slashers from the ’70s and ’80s. We learn about a powerful male entity, one that has some kind of control over electricity. We see the doctors trying to restrain a child, the lights flickering wildly, and then the opening credits roll. The movie picks back up with a young couple in their spooky old home....

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ Novel Is A Fascinating, Frustrating Display Of The Filmmaker’s Strengths And Weaknesses By Joshua Meyer/July 6, 2021 7:31 am EST Quentin Tarantino is now a novelist. Since the beginning of his career, his films have employed a novelistic structure, but now he’s writing actual books, the first of which adapts his last movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, for the page.

See The Suicide Squad Make-Up Test That Made Polka-Dot Man Weep Warner Bros. By Vanessa Armstrong/Sept. 3, 2021 8:34 am EST James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” brought some much-maligned DC characters to the big screen and gave them a depth that they might not have had before. Perhaps the most surprisingly touching character, however, was Polka-Dot Man, played by David Dastmalchian.

Let Him Have It First Independent Films First up is a film that isn’t horror at all, but will grip you with clammy hands nonetheless. Hot on the heels of his account of 1960s gangsters “The Krays” in 1990, Peter Medak followed up the following year with a stern look at a flawed justice system hellbent on revenge in a gut-punch portrayal of the tragic real-life case of Derek Bentley. Played to perfection by Christopher Eccleston, the character is accused of acting as an accomplice to a cop-killing (by uttering the movie’s titular phrase — much of the trial concerns itself with whether he meant it literally or colloquially)....
