New Doctor Strange 2 Concept Art Reveals Unused Strange Variant

For many Marvel fans, Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness did not quite provide either the madness or the multiverse they were hoping for. Although there were plenty of teases of multiple universes, the story was limited to just one main alternate reality with a handful of others thrown in. This ultimately led to Stephen Strange coming face to face with several variants of himself, including Defender Strange, Sinister Strange and the zombie corpse of Defender Strange....

Nicolas Winding Refn S Copenhagen Cowboy Everything We Know So Far

Nicolas Winding Refn is one of the most original directors working today. Meshing ultra-violence with absurd dialogue, Refn crafts films that are truly unique to his vision. Focusing on the dark underbelly of crime, the filmmaker portrays this world in a surreal fashion with everything from exaggerated and over-the-top violence to ridiculously long shots, idiosyncratic dialogue, and endings that leave much to all to the interpretation of the viewer. Even the lowest-scored Refn film is worth watching because, with each film, he attempts to tell stories in ways few other filmmakers have before....

Movies You May Not Have Known Were Produced By Mel Brooks

Known for his prolific sense of humor and razor-sharp mind for parody, Mel Brooks had his finger on the pulse of comedy for decades. From genre spoofs (High Anxiety to Hitchcock pictures) to specific targets (Spaceballs to Star Wars), Brooks found himself a niche that few other filmmakers were able to capitalize on like he did. The new Hulu series History of the World: Part II, based on Brooks’s film of similar name, which features a star-studded cast which includes Nick Kroll (Big Mouth), Taika Waititi (Thor: Love and Thunder) and Khumail Nanjiani (Marvel’s Eternals), is set to premiere later this year and marks Brooks’s first foray in nearly a decade back into his original material (the last being the short-lived Spaceballs animated series....
