The difference between a successful buddy comedy and a successful buddy comedy franchise is all about chemistry. You can cast the oddest of odd couples as your oil and water gumshoes, but if audiences don’t enjoy seeing that unlikely duo vibe—be it Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte discovering they love to smash redneck-heads in together, […]

On paper, it sounds like the upcoming Exorcist film is going in the right direction. Instead of following the initial plan to let David Gordon Green make two more sequels to The Exorcist: Believer, Blumhouse hired Mike Flanagan to write and direct a new take. Moreover, Flanagan has already secured an A-list star in Scarlett […]

Reed Richards a.k.a. Mister Fantastic is generally accepted to be the smartest person in the Marvel Universe. But he’s hardly the only super-genius or powerful person of that world, just one of many who gather in a group called the Illuminati. Joined by Tony Stark, Doctor Strange, and others, the Illuminati deal with problems the […]

Who you gonna call? Long before everyone in the world knew the answer to that question was “Ghostbusters,” Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman called Eddie Murphy. And Murphy said no. Along with fellow Saturday Night Live alumni John Belushi, Murphy was one of Akroyd’s first picks to star with him as a team of paranormal […]

Hugh Jackman is the best at what he does. And what he does is apparently play Wolverine until the day he dies. At least, that’s what we have to think after the Australian actor talked about donning Logan’s adamantium claws again while visiting the Graham Norton Show. When Norton pointed out that the actor has […]

Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea, or like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood, it’s safe to say that the November box office has been changed for the better, because it knew Wicked: For Good. If you can pardon us for bastardizing a […]

Of all the so-called “Neo-Westerns” produced in the modern era—which is to say Oaters made after the ’70s—few have enjoyed as much longevity as Tombstone. Released sheepishly in 1993 by a studio so preemptively embarrassed about behind-the-scenes troubles that Disney elected to not screen it for critics, Tombstone was expected to come and go. Instead […]

This article contains spoilers for Wicked: For Good. The Broadway fans tried to warn us. Ever since the news came down that the film adaptation of Wicked would break the megahit musical into two separate films, fans have warned that second act isn’t nearly as good as the first. It’s not just that the story […]

It’s not a secret that Game of Thrones basically encouraged us all to be complete weirdos, particularly in the romance department. Whether you were rooting for Jon Snow to hook up with his aunt Daenerys or hoping Tormund Giantsbane got the chance to shoot his shot with Brienne of Tarth, it’s a show that filled […]

One would think that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a pretty straightforward concept. You’ve got four brothers with distinct personalities, they’re ninjas and turtles. They like to party and they fight the Shredder. Rinse, repeat, cowabunga. But for whatever reason, current rights holders Paramount, just like New Line Cinema and others before them, feel […]

Without question, we’re all looking forward to Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz returning for The Mummy 4. But we also have to admit that, while the 1999 original may be perfect, it’s a franchise with only one good entry. Instead of realizing that the second film failed because it strayed too far from the formula […]

Filmmaker David Freyne has thought a lot about the afterlife. Who hasn’t? After all, even a self-described quasi-atheist—“I’m kind of hedging my bets,” he smiles—is only human. But Freyne is also the co-writer and sole director of Eternity, which has given him additional insight into the big questions, all while crafting a surprisingly sweet and […]

“The name’s Califragilisticexpialidocious… Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Those words were almost spoken on screen. Sort of. Now nearly 100 years old, Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke has had a glorious career, playing everything from a clumsy comedy writer to an affable chimney sweep to a sleuthing doctor. But he almost had a chance to play James Bond, the […]

Never bet against James Cameron. Time and time again, Cameron has made gigantic gambles that everyone doubted, whether it was spending a record-breaking amount of money for a sequel for his grimy horror flick about a killer robot from the future or spending another record-breaking amount of money on to recreate the sinking of the […]

Kindness is the new punk rock. That’s the message of Superman, James Gunn‘s universally-loved, big budget 2025 film about the Man of Steel. But decades earlier, a much less-loved, much cheaper, Superman-adjacent movie came to the same conclusion. And while it was mocked at the time, that film managed to marry the message to a […]
