The Wonder Woman 1984 actor has only appeared in a handful of feature films since 2019, instead appearing to pick and choose his roles with more discretion, executive producing and starring in the Patty Jenkins-directed limited series I Am the Night, for example....

After Years Of Saying “No,” Keanu Reeves Now Game For ‘Speed 3’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 24, 2014 5:30 am EST I haven’t seen John Wick yet, but everything I’ve heard says it’s Keanu Reeves once again embracing his inner badass. We’re talking The Matrix Reeves, Point Break Reeves and, of course, Speed Reeves. The 1994 action hit, directed by Jan De Bont, was one of the first post Die Hard action films to get everything right....

Blade Actor Mahershala Ali Teases What Comes Next Lionsgate By BJ Colangelo/Nov. 11, 2021 5:50 pm EST I was fortunate enough to speak on a panel at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, the last “normal” Comic-Con before, well, everything happened. I stared in awe as I saw the lines for the infamous Hall H wrap around San Diego city blocks, and when the Marvel announcements for Phase 4 came pouring out, I understood why so many people camped out for days to be in the room where it happens....

The Disney+ Day Eve Leaks Disney Disney+ Day did have a few good, solid things to show off: a new trailer for “The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild,” a first look at “Big Hero 6” spinoff series “Baymax,” and an introduction to the “Willow” TV reboot — not to mention a sizzle reel for “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Unfortunately, all of those videos leaked a day ahead of time on YouTube....

Everything We Know About Loki Season 2 So Far Marvel By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 13, 2021 5:01 pm EST The first season of “Loki” on Disney+ began as a quirky multiverse story that started life as an offshoot of a throwaway gag in “Avengers: Endgame,” and ultimately turned into perhaps one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most unexpected surprises. Fans were equally as surprised when a mid-credits title card after the finale announced that there would be a season 2, a marked divergence from the one-and-done template of the Disney+ shows that had been established to that point....

The Deer Hunter (1978) Universal Pictures “This is this.” After the Vietnam War ended in 1975, Hollywood began addressing the war in a more head-on fashion. 1978 was the year when films like Hal Ashby’s Coming Home and Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter started penetrating the mainstream market. Both films confronted the psychological effects of the war on American soldiers. At the 51st Academy Awards, they dominated the major categories, with The Deer Hunter taking home the awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken....

Ghosted: Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson Reunite For Apple’s Romantic-Adventure Movie Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 30, 2021 11:43 am EST If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Scarlett Johansson and Disney might currently be on less-than-friendly terms, but that doesn’t mean the actor can’t join forces once more with one of her Marvel co-stars for an entirely separate project. After both actors retired from the MCU in very different ways following “Avengers: Endgame” and “Black Widow,” Johansson and Chris Evans are teaming up again for an adventure movie set up at Apple, titled “Ghosted....

Here’s Where You Can Stream Or Buy Every Season Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer 20th Television By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 16, 2021 3:10 pm EST (Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, “Hey, where can I watch this thing?” In this edition: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”) Few properties helped define and represent the particular idiosyncrasies of the ’90s quite like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” did....

Hitchcock’s “Uncut” Version Of ‘Psycho’ Is Finally Coming To U.S. Home Video By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 14, 2020 7:30 am EST Hitchcock films often invite you to dig beneath the surface, and that’s exactly what the new box set The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection requires you to do – to see that there is an uncut version of Psycho hidden within its array of special features. The four-film set released by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment features new 4K editions of Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds, but most importantly, contains “hours of bonus features as well as the original uncut version of Psycho for the first time ever....

Horror Remakes: Is Rob Zombie A Hypocrite? By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 5, 2007 5:06 am EST The critics and fans pretty much hated Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake, so it makes us wonder why Zombie didn’t take his own advice. The following quote comes from ArrowintheHead. Apparently Rob Zombie said the following quote in a 2002 interview. “I feel it’s the worst thing any filmmaker can do. I actually got a call from my agent and they asked me if I wanted to be involved in a remake of CHAINSAW....

Interview: VICE’s Jesse Pearson On Where The Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze, And The Future Of VICE Films & VBS.TV By Hunter Stephenson/Oct. 16, 2009 5:02 pm EST Obviously, the staff at /Film collectively views Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are with a certain reverence. The film is simply a win all around, tastefully exploring and modernizing the notions of imaginative nostalgia and vice versa that are so often exploited these days in the name of “geekdom” and “hipsterdom....

Mayor Of Kingstown Star Emma Laird Shares Details On The Explosive First Season [Interview] Paramount+ By Vanessa Armstrong/Nov. 8, 2021 10:42 am EST Taylor Sheridan’s new Paramount+ drama series “Mayor of Kingstown” has a star-studded cast, including Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest, and Aiden Gillen. One of the show’s central characters, however, is newcomer Emma Laird, whose Iris is central to the season’s story.

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City Review: The Reboot Wisely Trades Action For Horror, But It’s Not Enough Sony By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 24, 2021 11:55 am EST Whatever you want to call the Paul W.S. Anderson “Resident Evil” film series, I don’t think you can accurately call it a series of horror films. Sure, there are plenty of horror elements in those movies — they’re about zombies, after all — but at the end of the day, Anderson, no stranger to horror having helmed the excellent “Event Horizon,” was more interested in action....
