Chucky Trailer: The Child’s Play TV Series Wants To Play SyFy By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 1, 2021 5:22 pm EST It’s here! It’s here!

SyFy and USA Network are kicking off October in a huge way by finally releasing the trailer for the new “Chucky” series, a continuation of Don Mancini’s beloved franchise about horror’s favorite possessed killer doll....
“Playing the Long Game” Apple TV+ “Foundation” is a show that might zig when you think it’s going to zag. I haven’t read Asimov’s books, though I understand they were once thought to be unfilmable. The second episode did a serious plot swerve while the third and most recent episode, “The Mathematician’s Ghost,” expanded the show in new ways, making it seem like “Foundation” is going to be diffuse and cover a lot of terrain: not just the geography of planets, but the map of time....
Home Sweet Home Alone Trailer: The Home Alone Sequel Comes Gift-Wrapped On Disney Disney+ By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 12, 2021 10:46 am EST Sometimes a franchise from your childhood receives a nostalgic, decade-later continuation and it looks as good as you could have imagined it. Other times, you get what seems like a straight remake of “Home Alone” and the trailer footage mostly makes it appear to be … more of the same of what we’ve seen before?...
How Kingsley Ben-Adir’s Performance In ‘One Night In Miami’ Transforms A Historical Icon Into Flesh-And-Blood By Siddhant Adlakha/Feb. 26, 2021 8:00 am EST Regina King’s One Night In Miami has a fascinating approach to iconography. It anachronistically re-stages Muhammad Ali’s famous underwater photo by Flip Schulke three years after it actually happened, in order to move the photography session to the day of his historic fight with Sonny Liston. This is the day the film takes place, unfolding largely in real time in and around a single hotel room after the bout....
How Kristen Bell Ended Up Voicing Two Words As A Sloth In ‘Zootopia’ By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 29, 2016 11:30 am EST Zootopia doesn’t hit theaters stateside until later this week, but you’ve probably seen a chunk of the film’s funniest scene. The scene tested so well worldwide that Disney Animation decided to make it the focal point of some of the trailers and TV spots. Of course, I’m talking about the sequence where Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde need to visit the DMV to run a plate, i....

LOL: The Best Jokes From The Roast Of Quentin Tarantino By Germain Lussier/Dec. 3, 2010 11:40 am EST We’ve all seen roasts on Comedy Central. The Roasts of Bob Saget, Pamela Anderson, William Shatner and David Hasselhoff come to mind as humorous events where a very famous person sits on stage and less famous, but more funny, people stand there and make awful, awful jokes about them. Most of the time though, I watch those and think, “I wish I cared about this person more....

But the building brick company isn’t slowing down because the Star Wars line is one of their most popular themes, and this year they’ve got plenty of new additions from across the spectrum of media set in a galaxy far, far away....
New The Matrix Resurrections Image Is All About That Neo/Trinity Power Couple Energy Warner Bros. By Jeremy Mathai/Nov. 2, 2021 11:11 am EST One of these days, I’m going to pull the trigger on getting my “Neo and Trinity Are the Best Romance in Science-Fiction” magnum opus essay out to the masses, exclusively for the reading pleasure of my fellow “The Matrix” fans who — like me — are way too emotionally invested in these two characters....

Though disappointing box office returns had pretty much already solidified the fact that the Star Wars origin story of Han Solo wouldn’t be getting its own new franchise, rumors have been sparking in recent weeks about some kind of continuation of the plot threads established in the movie....

Who Are The New Songwriters? Apple TV+ Pasek and Paul are quickly becoming one of the most recognizable songwriting duos, joining a legacy of partnerships that include Rodgers and Hammerstein (“The King and I,” “Cinderella,” “The Sound of Music”), Kander and Ebb (“Chicago,” “Cabaret,” “Kiss of the Spider Woman,”), and Menken and Ashman (“Little Shop of Horrors,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast”).

Nosferatu: A symphony of horror Film Arts Guild Emerging first from the shadows is Count Orlok, “The Bird of Death.” He’s the first vampire to make celluloid his home, and naturally must be first on this list of thirsty movie undead. Clearly based on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” (in terms of story, not appearance), Orlok possesses neither the physical characteristics nor the charm of his Transylvanian neighbor. Whereas Dracula can pass as a man, Nosferatu is more monstrous in visage....
