Ranking John Carpenter’s 10 Best Film Scores Universal Pictures By Margaret David/Sept. 17, 2021 7:54 pm EST A John Carpenter movie is as recognizable as an AC/DC track. There’s a griminess to the cinematography, a cheap but immersive realness to the sets. Faces repeat: Kurt Russell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, and the rubbery visage of William Shatner. And then there’s the music. Like Angus Young on guitar, we always know what a John Carpenter movie sounds like....

The Best TV Shows & Movies Coming To HBO Max In July 2021 By Chris Evangelista/June 21, 2021 2:49 pm EST It’s actually somewhat shocking that we’re so close to July already, but I guess that’s how this whole “continuous process of time” thing works. As June rolls over to July, the days will get hotter, armpits will grow sweatier, and HBO Max will add new stuff to stream. The biggest new title on the service is arguably Space Jam: A New Legacy, but there’s plenty of other stuff worth checking out as well....

The Mystery of Echo Marvel Echo was created by writer David Mack and artist Joe Quesada, first appearing in Daredevil #9 in December 1999. She was created as a mirror to Matt Murdock/Daredevil, a blind superhero whose other senses are heightened as a result of the accident that took his sight.

Hawkeye, Matt Fraction & David Aja’s Gift to the Character of Clint Barton Marvel The character of Hawkeye, aka Clint Barton, was not well known before “The Avengers” hit theaters in 2012. Yes, he had been a mainstay in the Marvel Comics world for decades but your average Joe on the street probably couldn’t name the arrow-slinging hero. Save for a brief cameo in 2011’s “Thor,” “The Avengers” largely served as the character’s introduction into mainstream pop culture....

The report says Abdul-Mateen has been developing a secret passion project for a while and when that project’s production window recently shifted up, it meant the superstar-in-the-making had to part ways with “Furiosa” in order to take advantage of that opportunity....

‘The Night House’ Review: Rebecca Hall Gets Haunted In A Scary, Cluttered Horror Pic [Sundance 2020] By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 25, 2020 2:00 pm EST Jump scares get a bad rap, primarily because filmmakers use them in cheap ways. The worst kind of jump scare – the kind that deserves scorn – are of the fake-out variety. As in: someone opens a closet door and a cat jumps out, or a completely harmless person suddenly pops into frame and the soundtrack blares for a second....

‘Tig Notaro: Drawn’ Trailer: The Comedian Gets Animated For HBO Stand-Up Special By Vanessa Armstrong/July 1, 2021 12:14 pm EST Comedian Tig Notaro has been killing it lately. Not only has she been fighting green screens on Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead and cantankerously fixing things on Star Trek: Discovery, she’s also got a stand-up special coming out. And not just any stand-up special. This stand-up special will be on HBO and…animated....

‘Zola’ Director Janicza Bravo On Processing Female Trauma Through Fantasy [Interview] By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 29, 2021 7:31 am EST Zola is a comedy. No, it’s a fantasy. No, it’s strange, dreamlike thriller meets ode to scumbag Florida. But to Zola director Janicza Bravo, the most important thing is that her new A24 dark comedy is a portrait of female trauma. Which might sound like a weird thing to say about a movie based on a Twitter thread about two strippers who take a wild trip down to Florida that ends in murder, mayhem, and a few jail convictions....

11 Movies Like Pulp Fiction That Are Definitely Worth Watching Miramax Films By Liam Gaughan/Sept. 22, 2021 6:09 pm EST “Pulp Fiction” was one of the most influential films of the ’90s. While Quentin Tarantino had announced himself two years prior with “Reservoir Dogs,” his 1994 follow up generated buzz that was unprecedented for independent films. It was a critical moment for film distribution, in which indie films proved they could become mainstream smash hits, and broader audiences showed they were open to non-Hollywood stories....

20 Years Later, ‘The Limey’ Is Steven Soderbergh’s Most Underrated And Most Daring Movie By Josh Spiegel/Oct. 8, 2019 11:00 am EST If there is an art to a good director’s commentary, then the commentary track for The Limey is the equivalent of Picasso’s Guernica. Director Steven Soderbergh and writer Lem Dobbs appear on the track, and it doesn’t begin the way a traditional commentary does, with the awkward easing-in to a feature-length discursive exploration of what’s playing out on screen....

Candyman Clip Turns The Original Movie’s Lead Character Into An Urban Legend TriStar Pictures By Chris Evangelista/Aug. 26, 2021 3:50 pm EST One neat detail of the new “Candyman” movie is how it continues the legend that was introduced in the first movie, and shows how it changed over time. The best example of this is the case of Helen Lyle, the main character of the original “Candyman” who has now become part of the legend herself....
