Godzilla vs. Kong Now Streaming on HBO Max Release Date: 2021Genre: Monster MovieDirector: Adam WingardCast: Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Julian Dennison, Lance Reddick, Kyle Chandler, Demián BichirGodzilla vs. Kong isn’t the best MonsterVerse movie, but it is the entry with the most amount of sheer entertainment. After struggling with the formula, the franchise has found its groove, as director Adam Wingard makes sure to limit the dumb human characters to bit parts while the monsters take center stage (this is likely the result of many test screenings – there were several cast members who ended up cut out of the film entirely and others who had their parts cut down to one quick scene, making this kind of The Thin Red Line of chonky monster movies)....

Ridley Scott Would Still Like To Make An ‘Alien: Covenant’ Sequel By Chris Evangelista/June 3, 2020 12:30 pm EST Ridley Scott has helmed two prequels to his classic sci-fi horror film Alien – Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Those films have their fans (like me!), but they didn’t exactly blow up the box office. As a result, the fate of Scott’s proposed third Alien prequel remains in doubt, and that doubt has only increased since Disney picked up Alien franchise owner Fox....

The Town That Knows Darkness CBS King’s second novel is a good old-fashioned thought experiment on paper: what if Dracula returned in the 20th century, not to a big city like London or Manhattan, but to a small town? The story follows writer Ben Mears returning to his childhood hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot as he writes his next book, only to discover that a vampire is treating the town like a personal buffet....

Dune Warner Bros. Now Streaming on HBO Max I know Denis Villeneuve will punch me in the neck for daring to suggest you stream his new movie “Dune” instead of watching it in theaters, but how the hell can I not include “Dune” here? It’s a huge movie, and while I do think it looks great on the big screen, I also think it’ll play just as well on HBO Max, where it’s currently streaming....

The Many Faces of Richard Brake Saban Films Since his film debut alongside Rachel Weisz in the 1994 science-fiction horror film, “Death Machine,” starring Brad Dourif, Brake has consistently appeared in genre fare, frequently as the stand-out performer. The choice to cast Brake as a mad scientist is pitch-perfect, and with the character coming straight from the mind of Rob Zombie, he’s essentially been given a creepy, crawly playground. Despite his remarkable talent and knack for playing some of the most horrifying and despicable villains put to screen, Brake isn’t the household name he deserves to be....

Video: See How ‘The Mandalorian’s Groundbreaking ‘Stagecraft’ Technology Probably Works By Ben Pearson/Nov. 20, 2019 5:30 pm EST Jon Favreau has been pushing the boundaries of filmmaking technology for years, and his new Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian is the latest example of the director seeing an opportunity to redefine what’s possible.

What’s the Legal Case About? Sony The situation with the Marvel creators is all about US Copyright law (and therefore would only affect copyright in the US). This law has been changed a few times by congress, often at the behest of Disney (more on that later). In 1976, the law was changed to even out bargaining power for creators. To compensate for the fact that creators cannot fathom how valuable their work will be over time, congress created an ability to terminate sold copyright after a set number of years....
