Zack Snyder and Ray Fisher are in the news again, and it’s not all because of the Justice League Snyder Cut’s digital release. An explosive report by Rolling Stone is making the rounds on the internet and alleges that Snyder bullied Warner Bros. into approving his 2021 director’s cut of Justice League. The report also states that Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in the movie, made accusations of abuse and racism against WB execs at Zack Snyder’s behest....

Veteran actor Nicolas Cage found inspiration from many places for his take on Count Dracula in Renfield, and among them is his late father, August Coppola. The brother of The Godfather helmer Francis Ford Coppola, Cage’s father was an author and art advocate, though he also spent time working as a film executive with the August Coppola Theater on San Francisco State University campus named after him. Coppola died in 2009 at the age of 75....

After the recent release of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, fans may be wondering what will be coming next for Detective Benoit Blanc. With Glass Onion, the idea of having the Daniel Craig-played character investigating a new mystery carried over, but the film was otherwise very different compared to the original Knives Out. We can presume director Rian Johnson will be wanting other installments of the series to feel unique as well, which could explain why he’s not a fan of adding “A Knives Out Mystery” to Glass Onion’s official title....

Last Tuesday was a pretty shameful day for me. I took a trip to my trusty Blockbuster to pick up a copy of High School Musical 2 on DVD with the plan of pretending it was for a younger non-existent sister if the inquiry was raised, but instead ended up admitting that I actually had a soft spot for musicals thanks to my musical middle school days. My actual sister is 20 years old and thinks it’s completely ludicrous that I like High School Musical....

Two-time SAG Award-winning film and television star Rob Lowe will reprise his guest starring role as eccentric, combustible film star “Eddie Nero” in one episode of Season 7 of the hit Showtime comedy series Californication. The series, which stars David Duchovny in his Golden Globe-winning role as hedonistic writer Hank Moody, is currently shooting in Los Angeles for a 2014 premiere on the network.

The suspect, a 30-year-old woman, is believed to have pried open a basement entrance door and slipped inside, heading straight for the home’s Christmas tree.

While Star Trek and Star Wars dominated science-fiction franchises in outer space, the fantasy world had yet to develop on-screen in the way these two franchises had. In the 70s, Warner Bros Studios released an animated version of the fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. Actors like John Hurt and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO in Star Wars) voiced iconic characters like Aragorn and Legolas. But the novel is so vast that the animated feature was just the beginning....

With all attention on Doctor Strange’s new adventure, Taika Waititi wants to remind us that there is another big Marvel movie arriving this summer in the form of Thor: Love and Thunder. As part of a summer movie preview, the director told the Associated Press that the new movie is going to find its title character in a much different place to where he has been in the past, as the God of Thunder finds himself without a real place in the world, and according to Waititi, is having something of a mid-life crisis....

Trashy reality television is seen by some as a blotch on the entertainment landscape, and by others as simply a mindless release that does exactly what it says on the tin — entertain. Love Island is a show that pitches attractive singletons together in a luxury, all-inclusive villa in Mallorca, and it’s fair to say it’s a program that throws up quite the drama. Fake tans, veneers, hairless chests, and surgically enhanced busts, the cynics in most of us will decipher that this isn’t really a show about love at all, and more about self-interested individuals looking for fame, sweatshop brand deals, and that blue tick on Instagram....

She starts at the bottom and works her way to the top.”...

Legendary avant-garde filmmaker David Lynch’s lifelong obsession with Victor Fleming’s 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, has been well documented. The new trailer for Alexandre O. Philippe’s documentary, Lynch/Oz, promises an intensive exploration of the subject. Swiss Director Philippe has built a reputation making movies about movies, and this new treatise on the thematics in Lynch’s work perfectly aligns with his previous films, including The People Vs. George Lucas, Doc of the Dead, 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene, Memory: The Origins of Alien, and Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist....

The writer/director talks about his latest film, The Last Airbender and the critical perception of his work, and more. A little more than nine years ago, a little-known filmmaker shocked the world with a movie about a young boy who could see dead people. The Sixth Sense grossed $293 million dollars at the domestic box office, was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and made the world know the name M....

Steven Spielberg is regarded as one of the best living filmmakers of this generation and has blessed filmgoers with cinematic gems over the span of his career....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to get darker than ever in Moon Knight, with some newly unveiled promo art giving us another look at the titular vigilante’s ghoulish costume. Starring Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Moon Knight, and no doubt a whole host of other identities, the Disney+ series will drag the MCU down into a pit of monsters, Egyptian gods, and brutal revenge. Released by Twitter user Moon Knight Era - The CineGeek, and much like a lot of Marvel’s other efforts to bring beloved comic book characters into the world of live-action, Moon Knight’s costume is wonderfully accurate when compared to the source material....
