Silent Night Review: A Pitch-Black Christmas Comedy About The End Of The World AMC+ and RLJE Films By Hoai-Tran Bui/Dec. 3, 2021 12:42 pm EST The holidays — it’s the time for celebration, for homecomings, for awkward family dinners, for contemplating death at the end of the world. Well, less so the latter, but in the pitch-black comedy “Silent Night,” it most certainly is the case. Camille Griffin writes and directs this apocalyptic Christmas movie, which bears all the hallmarks of a homegrown acerbic British holiday comedy, complete with the quirky, foul-mouthed group of friends, the wry humor, and the eye-rolling nods to the sentimentality of the holidays....

Spider-Man: No Way Home Serves As The ‘End Of A Franchise,’ Tom Holland Says Sony Pictures By Vanessa Armstrong/Oct. 14, 2021 1:05 pm EST There’s been a lot of multiverse talk around the upcoming MCU film, “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” What’s arguably gotten less attention than whether Tobey Maguire and/or Andrew Garfield show up as alternative Spideys in the film, however, is whether this will be the last time we see Holland’s Peter Parker in a standalone movie....

The 10 Scariest Scenes From The Alien Franchise By Chad Collins/Sept. 30, 2021 8:44 pm EST Ridley Scott’s “Alien” is a profound, seminal piece of science fiction and horror. In space, no one can truly hear you scream (per the first movie’s official tagline), though just because it’s unheard, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. With a profound scope, unmatched awe, gorgeous visuals, and bonafide body horror, the series is operatic, high-concept horror — basically, a haunted house series set in space....

It Wasn’t All Bad MGM Before we go any further, I want to make a pitstop into the land of positivity! The Daniel Craig era was not all bad. “Casino Royale” is one of the very best Bond films. “Skyfall,” while far too derivative of “The Dark Knight,” is highly entertaining. And the new film “No Time to Die” has several memorable scenes. Even outright disappointments like “Quantum of Solace” and “Spectre” have their moments....

The Real Life Inspiration Behind Goodfellas Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/Oct. 12, 2021 11:27 am EST “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to …” know about the real-life inspiration behind “Goodfellas.” Maybe you’ve thought that, or maybe that’s just a convenient paraphrasing of the opening voiceover to Martin Scorsese’s 1990 gangster-movie classic. Before we even see the first image — the back plate of a Pontiac Grand Prix, speeding along the highway at night — “Goodfellas” tells us, “This film is based on a true story....

Upcoming Action Movies To Keep On Your Radar Lionsgate By Sandy Schaefer/Nov. 29, 2021 10:14 am EST Superhero movies haven’t killed action films the way video did the radio star dirty, but they have boxed them out as the genre entertainment of choice for audiences seeking high-octane thrills and spectacle. And even most of the action franchises that have continued to thrive over the last decade, like “Fast & Furious,” have evolved in such a way that they’re practically superhero films in their own right now....

‘Dirty Grandpa’ Trailer: A Movie Where Robert De Niro Tweaks Zac Efron’s Nipples By Jacob Hall/Jan. 7, 2016 2:00 pm EST It’s hard to begrudge the 72-year old Robert De Niro for taking work and it’s even harder to begrudge a young up-and-comer like Zac Efron from acting in any movie where he gets to work alongside a genuine living legend. It’s just hard to feel good about Dirty Grandpa, which is certainly a movie that exists and was made by people and had a budget that allowed a hard-working crew to pay their mortgages and feed their families....

‘Pam And Tommy’ First Look Photos: Lily James And Sebastian Stan Are Almost Unrecognizable As The Famous Duo By Ethan Anderton/May 8, 2021 10:00 am EST Towards the end of last year, we got the surprising news that Cinderella star Lily James and Captain America franchise co-star Sebastian Stan were taking the leads in Pam and Tommy, a new series from Hulu about famous couple Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. It was an unexpected leap for both of the actors, but we’re even more floored by the Pam and Tommy first look photos that series co-star Seth Rogen posted to social media this weekend....

8 Crazy Things Michael Bay Said While Filming ‘Pain & Gain’, According To Rob Corddry By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 3, 2014 11:00 am EST I love Michael Bay. I unironicly think he is a great artist. And from everything I’ve read, heard and even personally seen, I think he’s a hilarious person. He’s almost like an exagerated cartoon character version of what you might expect. Sometimes I think he plays into the persona, that his behavior can be an act....

A ‘Polly Pocket’ Movie Is Coming From Director Lena Dunham – Thanks, ’90s Nostalgia By Ben Pearson/June 24, 2021 3:01 pm EST Increasingly, Hollywood seems to be reaching outside the realm of earlier films and TV shows when it comes to adapting recognizable intellectual property into new stories. Here’s another example of a toy serving as the basis for a film: Lena Dunham (Girls, Tiny Furniture) is set to write and direct a Polly Pocket movie for Mattel Films and MGM, and the film will be based on the toy that became a phenomenon in the 1990s....
