Did You Spot This Blink-And-You’ll-Miss-It ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Easter Egg? By Ben Pearson/Dec. 28, 2020 10:30 am EST Wonder Woman 1984 is now available on HBO Max, and the film has reportedly broken records for the streaming service since its release on Christmas Day. Whether you liked the movie or not, it certainly took some big swings, and I suspect we’ll be debating about how many of those swings actually connected for some time – especially since we’re all starved for big-budget blockbusters in this pandemic era....

Every Luc Besson Movie Ranked Worst To Best Sony Pictures By Rob Hunter/Oct. 29, 2021 12:11 pm EST Luc Besson is different things to different people. A director of memorable genre films (“The Professional,” “The Fifth Element”). A writer of action hits with no fewer than five successful franchises to his name (“Taxi,” “The Transporter,” “District B13,” “Taken,” “Nikita”). A businessman with poor bookkeeping skills. A real prick and alleged rapist....

“Be Careful What You Wish For” Focus Features Those with only a passing familiarity with Edgar Wright’s work might be surprised at this startling change of direction into psychological horror territory with “Last Night in Soho,” but Wright’s films have always had a tendency to toss several potent ideas into the air at once and reward viewers who engage with those concepts on whatever level they choose. “The World’s End,” my personal favorite of Wright’s “Cornetto Trilogy,” works just as well as a darkly humorous romp through U....

British Delight BBC If you’ve never seen this show then you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. There are a million cooking competition shows on TV, so what’s so special about this one? Well, the best way I can describe it is that this is the “Ted Lasso” of cooking shows.

Is The Box Office Back? MGM Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (“True Detective”), “No Time To Die” stars Daniel Craig in his final turn as the suave MI6 agent, with Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes, and Rory Kinnear also reprising their roles from previous 007 movies. New cast members include Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, and Lashana Lynch.

Picard Season 2 Trailer I’ll confess that I’m not much of a “Star Trek” guy. I’ve seen some of the movies, and enjoyed them for the most part. But I never really got into any of the many shows, so I am a bit of an agnostic when it comes to “Picard.” But I love Patrick Stewart (doesn’t everybody?), and I’m happy that he gets to return to this character and have some fun....
