What will Aladdin be about? Disney The natural assumption might be that this live-action sequel would follow the narrative path established by the animated movies, which got two direct-to-video sequels after the success of the ‘92 original. “Return of Jafar” was a smash hit on VHS, selling 15 million units and making around $300 million worldwide, while “Aladdin and the King of Thieves” was not as successful (and, frankly, not as good)....

Quentin Tarantino Only Has Two Movies Left By Angie Han/July 13, 2016 6:00 am EST Quentin Tarantino has the kind of career just about any filmmaker would envy. He’s worked with huge names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ennio Morricone, revived John Travolta’s career, and transformed Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender into international stars. His films are hits with budding cinephiles, picky critics, and general audiences alike. They’re constantly quoted in casual conversations, pored over for thinkpieces, and memorialized on dorm room posters....

South Park: Post Covid: Covid Returns First Look In the second film, the Paramount+ description is as follows: If Stan, Kyle and Cartman could just work together, they could go back in time to make sure Covid never happened and save Kenny’s life. In “South Park: Post Covid: Covid Returns,” traveling back to the past seems to be the easy answer until they meet Victor Chaos. If the name Victor Chaos sounds eerily familiar, it’s because it’s the super villain alter-ego of Leopold “Butters” Stotch, Professor Chaos....

We Are Like the Dreamer — Season 3, Episode 14 Showtime For many devotees of “Twin Peaks,” the Showtime revival was odd and unexpected, even by “Twin Peaks” standards. Many of the show’s plot lines took the viewers away from the eponymous town and to other locations around the country, telling a wider story and depicting a conspiracy that goes deeper into the fictional universe’s lore. But Part 14 takes some of the action back to Twin Peaks itself, with the Sheriff’s Department in particular playing a bigger role....

This Week In DVD: Heroes, Entourage, The Shield, What Happens In Vegas, And More By Adam Quigley/Aug. 26, 2008 2:58 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There’s no question about it, Volume 2 of Heroes offered a major decline in quality compared to the show’s kickass first season. Combining weak new characters (Maya & Alejandro spring to mind) and lackluster plot progressions (such as Sylar losing his powers), the series seemed to be losing its touch all too quickly....
