While Universal once had all of their monster movies like Frankenstein, Wolf Man and Dracula exist in the same universe (something the studio is failing horribly at recreating today), the only major franchise crossovers have been Freddy vs Jason and Alien vs Predator....
‘Jungle Cruise’ Trailer: Dwayne Johnson And Emily Blunt Search For Treasure By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 27, 2021 7:00 am EST Jungle Cruise Trailer Jungle Cruise is clearly aiming to become this generation’s Pirates of the Caribbean: a fun, splashy, buckwild popcorn flick based on a theme park ride and anchored by charismatic actors. And this latest trailer gives us a hint of that, all fast-paced and raring for adventure. But I have to admit my excitement for Jungle Cruise was tempered until I heard that Jesse Plemons, who plays the villain of the piece, teased of his performance: “It’s as big as I’m capable of being....

Charlotte Gainsbourg May Go Three For Three With Lars Von Trier And ‘The Nymphomaniac’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 12, 2011 4:00 pm EST A great deal is often made of the supposed misogyny of Danish director Lars von Trier, but despite those accusations, the guy has a track record of attracting top-notch actresses. Sure, there’s the fact that Bjork so hated the process of making Dancer in the Dark that she refused to ever work with Trier again, and in fact nearly swore off acting entirely....

Television By Kaylee Dugan/Dec. 13, 2021 8:01 pm EST The CW is expanding their TV superhero empire with “Gotham Knights,” the latest show to be added to their Swiss army knife of DC Comics programming. It’ll join shows like “Batwoman,” “The Flash,” and “Legends of Tomorrow,” on top of the recently ended series “Arrow” and “Supergirl.” I don’t know which show in this mixed metaphor is the tiny folding scissors, the tiny folding bottle opener, or the tiny folding blade, but we can all agree that “The Flash” is probably the tiny corkscrew, right?...

For this NYE edition of the Movie Playlist, we chatted with Mr. Neil Hamburger, the Hollywood legend and stand-up comedian. It did not go so well.

FilmDrunk reported earlier this week that security was put on red alert when “a German film crew member” started “stripping down to tight shorts and dancing in the lobby of Wichita Airport” (see video of this at the bottom of the post)....
