Everything We Know About Rutherford Falls Season 2 So Far Universal Television By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 2, 2021 10:48 am EST One wouldn’t imagine that the intersection of representation and timely ideas about historical monuments in America would be an easy premise to build an entire show around. “Rutherford Falls,” however, covers both of those incredibly wide-ranging topics all at once. The Peacock original series premiered earlier in 2021 and comes from the creators of “Parks and Recreation” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” both of which tackled very similarly socially-conscious issues throughout their respective runs....

James Franco For Best Supporting Actor: “Consider This S***!” [Video] By Russ Fischer/Dec. 2, 2013 3:00 pm EST James Franco’s performance in Spring Breakers is wild, electric, memorable, and totally mesmerizing. The superficial aspects of the role — the grill, the cornrows, and so on — are only the beginning. It’s the way his character Alien brings to life a demented vision of the American Dream (“look at my s***!”) and the way he eventually allows his cracked hyper-masculine persona to submit to a feminine force....

Parallel Mothers Review: Director Pedro Almodóvar Gets Both Familiar And Evolutionary [Venice 2021] Sony Pictures Classics By Marshall Shaffer/Sept. 11, 2021 4:19 pm EST The draw of applying an auteurist lens to the cinema is watching a director grow and mature over time. The peril, on the other hand, is that a filmmaker can become so infatuated with their house style that they engage in repetitive work with limited growth. Pedro Almodóvar’s “Parallel Mothers” may at first present like a run-of-the-mill effort from the face of Spanish cinema, but there’s a deceptive amount of variation here....

The Exorcist Reboot Will Be ‘Fresh, New’ And ‘Really, Really Scary,’ Jason Blum Promises Warner Bros. By Anya Stanley/Oct. 4, 2021 4:28 pm EST With the “Purge” siren still winding down and the battery still beeping on the “Paranormal Activity” franchise, Blumhouse has dipped their hands into another horror honeypot: The Exorcist franchise. As David Gordon Green’s Blum-backed “Halloween” excised everything beyond John Carpenter’s first two original Michael Myers tales, the new “Exorcist” project aims to continue the original 1973 William Friedkin film about the demonic possession of a young girl while pretending that its other sequels never happened....

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ LEGO Sets Offer Potentially Perplexing Details On The Marvel Movie By Ethan Anderton/July 1, 2021 12:50 pm EST Sometimes, the worst enemy of major blockbusters can be merchandising.
