Here’s Where You Can Stream Or Buy Every Season Of Lost ABC By Jeremy Mathai/Dec. 2, 2021 9:57 am EST (Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, “Hey, where can I watch this thing?”) 2004 was a very different time. In the years before “Lost” became a runaway phenomenon, television was hardly seen as a welcoming medium for mythology-heavy mystery premises featuring a massive ensemble cast and a deeply serialized storyline....

Netflix Movie From Mr. Robot Creator Will Star Mahershala Ali And Julia Roberts HBO By Marisa Mirabal/Sept. 16, 2021 11:32 am EST According to Deadline, Mahershala Ali is on board for a highly anticipated Netflix thriller titled “Leave the World Behind.” The Oscar winner will join forces with fellow Academy Award winner Julia Roberts to bring author Rumaan Alam’s novel of the same name to the screen. “Mr. Robot” creator Sam Esmail will serve as both writer and director of the film adaptation....

No Time To Die Is The Longest James Bond Movie Ever MGM By Ryan Scott/Sept. 10, 2021 5:03 pm EST We’ve got some news for you, James Bond fans. Whether or not it’s good news or bad news is going to largely be up to the individual to decide. “No Time to Die,” Daniel Craig’s upcoming (and long-awaited) swan song as 007, is going to be a long goodbye as it is reportedly the longest Bond movie ever....

Almost as Good as Ringside Seats MGM Fans of the “Rocky” spin-off “Creed” films, starring Michael B. Jordan, should make sure to check out this new cut of “Rocky IV.” The events in “Rocky IV” directly set up the plot of “Creed,” which follows Apollo’s son as he tries to escape the shadow of his famous father. “Creed II” and “Rocky IV” would make a great double-feature for those looking for some golden-gloved goodness....

What’s Jason Segel Been Up To Lately, Anyway? Universal Pictures I’m just chiming in to say these are the green light announcements I live for. I’m a mega “Ted Lasso” fan and the writing is a huge reason why. It’ll be really cool to see Lawrence and Goldstein taking on another emotionally present scenario and bring their own brand of comedic sensibilities to it. Plus, it’s been a while since we’ve gotten a real Jason Segel star vehicle, so it will be nice to see him take on a part with some meat on its bones through which he can remind people why he was such a comedy sensation some years back....

The Duel Lucasfilm Ltd. Easily the strongest of the shorts, “The Duel” is Takanobu Mizuno’s take on samurai lore. Animated by Kamikaze Douga, the story is the most direct nod to the work of Akira Kurosawa, telling the story of a defenseless village that hires guards to protect themselves from Sith-sponsored bandits. The simplicity of the story enables the storytellers to focus on what they find the most interesting, and here it’s a balance between the stillness of self-awareness and the chaos of battle....

After Hours Warner Bros. Now Streaming on the Criterion Channel “What if a guy wanted to get laid?” That’s pretty much the jumping-off point for Martin Scorsese’s gloriously unhinged “After Hours.” Griffin Dunne plays a guy working a mindless office job who ventures out into New York City one night on what he thinks is going to be a date. However, everything goes wrong in spectacularly surreal ways. Dunne’s character bounces from one strange situation to the next, trying to both score with various women and also get the hell home before he’s killed....

The Book Of Boba Fett Poster Reveals Premiere Date, Plot Details Confirmed Lucasfilm By Max Evry/Sept. 29, 2021 11:37 am EST Today Disney+ dropped a few of doozies on us for their forthcoming Star Wars series “The Book of Boba Fett,” namely a boss new piece of key art, a premiere date as well as the first plot details from the secretive cabal at Lucasfilm. The series that was wonderfully teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian” is set to premiere on Wednesday, December 29, on Disney+, making it a later date than the previous two “Mandalorian” seasons which dropped in November 2019 and October 2020, respectively....

Why It’s Essential Viewing There are very few modern horror movies I would consider “elegant.” That’s not a slight on modern horror, mind you — it just doesn’t seem to be a term that applies to what we think of when we think of horror. But the original “Candyman” is an exception. There’s something classical about the entire affair. Perhaps it’s because of Philip Glass’ gorgeous, haunting score. Or perhaps it’s because of the directorial style of Bernard Rose, who doesn’t go for the cheap or easy scare here....

The Morning Watch: ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Gag Reel, Why Baseball Is The Best Movie Sport & More By Ethan Anderton/March 17, 2021 5:00 am EST The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows. In this edition, watch the cast of Wonder Woman 1984 crack themselves up in a blooper reel for the DC Comics sequel....

Patton Oswalt is a Tyrant in The Spine of Night Clip This clip really shows off the amazing 2D rotoscope techniques the filmmakers employed for this movie. While for some it may remind them of the rotoscoping in Richard Linklater’s “A Scanner Darkly,” it really harkens back to the early ’80s era when adult animated fantasies like Ralph Bakshi’s “Fire and Ice” or the “Heavy Metal” anthology movie gave fans a different kind of cartoon to fall in love with....

Malignant — September 10 Warner Bros “Malignant” sees “Aquaman” director James Wan returning to his horror roots with, thankfully, an original story, not yet another entry in the “Saw,” “Insidious” or “Conjuring” franchises (all of which Wan helped create). British actress Annabelle Wallis (from “The Conjuring” universe’s “Annabelle”) stars as a woman who begins having terrifying nightmares about grisly murders that turn out to actually happen. There also seems to be some kind of imaginary childhood friend who may be behind the events....

‘Blockers’ Trailer: John Cena, Leslie Mann, And Ike Barinholtz Are Weirdly Overprotective Parents By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 14, 2017 12:00 pm EST In the footsteps of other raunchy coming-of-age comedies like Superbad and American Pie where teens just want to have a lot of sex comes Blockers, a movie about three parents who will stop at nothing to sabotage their daughters’ sex lives. Starring John Cena, Leslie Mann, and Ike Barinholtz as the traditionally-minded parents who discover their daughters’ prom night “sex pact,” Blockers is exactly what you’d expect out of a movie about teenage girls written by five dudes....

‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’ Trailer: That’s Definitely A Big Dog, And A Terrifying One By Ethan Anderton/June 29, 2021 8:32 am EST Clifford the Big Red Dog has been a good boy since his creation in the pages of Norman Bridwell’s books in 1963. Since then, he’s gotten his own animated series, straight-to-video movies, video games, and plenty of merchandise. Now he’s being turned into nightmare fuel in a new live-action adaptation from Paramount Pictures, and the Clifford the Big Red Dog movie trailer shows how terrifying the concept of a huge ass red dog in the real world would actually be, especially in a place like New York City....

‘Face/Off’ Sequel: Director Adam Wingard Tells Us To “Read Between The Lines” About The Possible Return Of Cage And Travolta By Ben Pearson/March 24, 2021 12:00 pm EST “I don’t want to scare anybody off.” That’s what Adam Wingard, the director of Godzilla vs. Kong and the upcoming Face/Off sequel, told us when we asked for clarification about whether or not original stars John Travolta and Nicolas Cage are vital to the success of his planned follow-up to John Woo’s 1997 action classic....

The Next Pirates of the Caribbean? Gore Verbinski’s Pirates of the Caribbean movies showed that not only can you feasibly adapt a theme park adaptation to the big screen, you can do it well. So it’s no wonder the swashbuckler action franchise was on the tip of everyone’s tongue during the set visit. Flynn said he immediately thought of Pirates while reading the original Payne and McKay script for Jungle Cruise, and that’s what sold them:...

‘Loki’ Animated Mascot Miss Minutes Has A Creepy Coded Message For You Marvel Fans By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 2, 2021 8:30 am EST Miss Minutes has had only seconds of screentime in the Loki trailers and marketing we’ve seen thus far, but already the Time Variance Authority mascot has become a fast fan-favorite. Is she a sundial or a clock? What is she thinking? As a simple animated mascot that greets the prisoners of the TVA, probably not much, but a cryptic new social media post from Miss Minutes (that’s right, she’s got her own Twitter account) suggests that there may be more to Miss Minutes than legs and a clock face....

‘The Inventor’ Will Team ‘Wolfwalkers’ Director With ‘Ratatouille’ Writer For Stop-Motion Film By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 23, 2021 3:30 pm EST After more than a decade of directing top-tier animated films that went under the radar, Tomm Moore is enjoying his moment in the sun. His breathtaking Wolfwalkers is nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, and people are finally paying attention to his small Irish animation studio, Cartoon Saloon, and its innovative use of 2D animation....

The Three Musketeers Disney/ Buena Vista Pictures Stories that exist in the public domain can be adapted by any studio or artist without cost. So, naturally, there have been dozens of films starring heroes like Sherlock Holmes, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Zorro, and Tarzan. Similarly, the story of the Three Musketeers has been retold countless times, most recently by Paul W.S. Anderson in 2011. However, few films have nailed the tone of Alexander Dumas’ novel, and Disney’s 1993 version remains one of the stronger adaptations....
