Let it burn! At the end of “Halloween” (2018), Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), bookended by two more generations of Strode women (Judi Greer and Andi Matichak), sit in the back of a truck, having barely escaped with their lives after going toe-to-toe with Michael Myers (played by James Jude Courtney, with Nick Castle reprising the role for a few scenes, as well). Laurie constructs a funhouse of snare traps, and the women successfully lock Myers in the basement before it ignites....

While Peterson hasn’t disclosed how she identifies or if she even subscribes to any specific queer identity, this is a banner day for an already queer icon who we now know has been “one of us” all along....

Is Spider-Man: No Way Home Setting The Stage For A Sinister Six Movie? Marvel Studios By Joshua Meyer/Nov. 16, 2021 10:19 pm EST Once upon a time, Sony had plans for a “Sinister Six” movie, with Drew Goddard (“Cabin in the Woods,” “Bad Times at the El Royale”) attached to direct. This was back in 2014 when Andrew Garfield was still Spider-Man. “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” spent time setting up villains for “Sinister Six,” but the film was a critical and commercial disappointment and it wound up being Garfield’s last outing as Spidey....

Mixtape Trailer: A Rock ‘N’ Roll Coming-Of-Age Movie For Millennials Netflix By Anya Stanley/Nov. 12, 2021 9:13 am EST As any millennial or Gen X-er will tell you, a mixtape is like a message in a bottle. It transports declarations of admiration, support, torment, lust, and especially love. Its assembly is a quiet alchemy that requires precision in choosing both song and song order. If your intended recipient is a romantic interest, opening the tape with a ballad is coming on too strong; you’ve got to ease them in with something reflective that tells them who you are first....

POTD: See The Real-Life ‘Luca’ Locations That Inspired Pixar’s Summer Adventure By Ethan Anderton/July 8, 2021 6:00 am EST Pixar’s Luca debuted on Disney+ last month, and immediately it’s clear that this movie would have been an undeniable pleasure to experience on the biggest screen possible.

Riddick 4 Is ‘Closer Than You Think,’ According To Vin Diesel Universal Pictures By Max Evry/Sept. 27, 2021 11:46 am EST The Riddick franchise is a lot like its main character: rough around the edges, complex, hard to pin down and, most importantly, a survivor.

The Batman TV Spot For those who have watched the initial “The Batman” trailer that was released last year over and over again, such as myself, this 30-second spot contains nothing new. It is just a compact version of what we’ve already seen. Battinson kicking ass. The Riddler being creepy. An extremely dark take on Gotham City. But it’s the tail end of the spot that is worth highlighting, as it promises we are getting a new trailer during DC FanDome on October 16....

By Ben Pearson/March 10, 2021 2:30 pm EST How deep is Kenneth Branagh’s love for The Bee Gees? Apparently pretty deep, because he has been hired to direct a Bee Gees biopic of the acclaimed band for Paramount Pictures. According to a new report, “the movie will center on the life and times of the genre-spanning band, following the humble beginnings of brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb into their journey to pop superstardom....

The Best Movies And TV Shows Coming To Netflix November 2021 Netflix By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 20, 2021 12:53 pm EST If you ask me, October is flying by. This is why it’s important to begin Halloween season in August, because if you wait until October, you’ll blink and you’ll miss it. Case in point: Netflix just sent out their list of titles coming to the streaming service in November, and when they do that, it means the current month is all but over....

The Spider-Man And Hulk ’70s TV Show Stars Wanted To Do A Crossover Marvel By Ryan Scott/Nov. 9, 2021 12:55 pm EST We live in an era lousy (and I mean that lovingly) with superhero crossovers on screen. From The CW’s ArrowVerse on the TV side, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we see superheroes interacting so frequently these days it’s easy to take for granted that, back in the ’70s, it was nearly unheard of....

Why Donnie Darko Almost Didn’t Make It To Theaters Newmarket Films By Jamie Gerber/Dec. 15, 2021 9:14 am EST “28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds… That is when the world will end.” It’s wild to think that “Donnie Darko” just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Written and directed by Richard Kelly, the movie is still sparking discussion amongst viewers two decades after its release. The film made a little splash at the box office, but did very well on DVD, and in the years since its release, “Donnie Darko” has gone on to become a much-debated cult classic....

‘A Quiet Place’ Spin-Off From ‘Midnight Special’ Director Set For Release In Spring Of 2023 By Ethan Anderton/June 5, 2021 11:00 am EST After A Quiet Place Part II stormed back into theaters and had no trouble topping the box office charts last weekend, you might expect Paramount Pictures to immediately get A Quiet Place Part III on the fast track. However, it sounds like the studio wants to give director John Krasinski and stars Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, and Millicent Simmonds a little bit of a break, because they’ve actually scheduled A Quiet Place spin-off movie for release in the spring of 2023 instead of a new sequel....
