Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe Biopic Starring Ana De Armas Has Been Delayed By Eric Vespe/July 28, 2021 7:05 pm EST If you have your hopes up to see the Ana de Armas’ Marilyn Monroe biopic this awards season, then sit down. I have some bad news for you… Netflix has bumped Blonde to 2022. Variety broke the story but didn’t give a reason for the push. Judging by Netflix’s slate for the upcoming season, it’s very possible they just had too many awards-worthy movies (including new films from Jane Campion and Adam McKay) and they didn’t want to compete with themselves....

Ray Winstone Is The Latest Dwarf In ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’ By Russ Fischer/June 22, 2011 1:31 pm EST Briefly: It’s time to stand up and start a slow golf clap for Universal, director Rupert Sanders, and the producers of Snow White and the Huntsman.

People really enjoyed the first few seasons of the darkly comedic serial killer series, but its final few seasons really went off the rails, and the finale itself – which saw Dexter sporting a terrible fake beard and living as a lumberjack – satisfied absolutely no one....

“It’s Going to Blow People’s Minds” Sony Pictures Television When watching the slow-motion car crash of a decent enough guy tragically transform into the immoral, unlikable jerk that he becomes, who doesn’t want to stretch out the experience for as long as humanly possible? Okay, “Better Call Saul” is much more complex and compelling than you might expect from that elevator pitch.
