With the Arrowverse finally coming to an end, the world of DC TV seems a little less bright and a lot more complicated than it did during the era of Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman & Lois. The seventh and final Arrowverse spin-off managed to achieve something completely unique by introducing a version of Superman well into his second act who returns to his hometown of Smallville after years of fighting crime in Metropolis.

Now, as the red-caped superhero finally prepares to launch into the sky one last time, the fans of the CW series seem to be at a loss regarding how to bid one of their favorite characters farewell for the last time. Of all the iterations that have existed over the past 46 years since Christopher Reeve first took on the Superman mantle, Tyler Hoechlin’s version is most certainly one of the best to have graced the screens.

Doctor Doom reigns supreme as one of Marvel’s most fearsome and formidable antagonists. Recently, he’s been creating waves not just in the comic book world but in the digital universe of Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 event, ‘Absolute Doom’.
Unlike his past cinematic missteps, where he often fell short of his formidable comic book self, Doom is finally getting the villainous spotlight he deserves. In Fortnite, the character harnesses Pandora’s Box and recruits notorious villains like Emma Frost and Mysterio, transforming him into a true force of chaos.

Past Fantastic Four films, however, have struggled to capture Doom’s essence, with 2005’s Julian McMahon and 2015’s Toby Kebbell both failing to deliver the menacing presence of the legendary ruler of Latveria. However, Fortnite’s portrayal is a breath of fresh air, presenting a Doom that’s both powerful and captivating.

The reviews are in for “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and the snarky superhero isn’t wooing critics quite as positively as “Deadpool” and “Deadpool 2” did in 2016 and 2018.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is the first R-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie and the only MCU theatrical release of 2024. The film is also the first time Deadpool will team up with Disney and Kevin Feige.
Industry inside jokes and self-deprecation run rampant in the film with some critics calling it “amusing and exhausting.” You will hopefully utter at least one chuckle throughout the 127 minute feature, though.
“When you throw 7,000 jokes at the screen hoping something will stick, a few of them certainly will,” Jordan Hoffman from Entertainment Weekly said. “I did laugh several times; I am not a monster.”
The film has a 79% Rotten Tomatoes score with 116 reviews, compared to the original film’s 85% and the sequel’s 84%.

Likely that Gummo‘s most often been seen on a DVD passed among friends like cinematic contraband. Though I doubt that legacy will ever quite die (maybe now it’s Mkv files), that history makes all the more notable a 4K upgrade put into circulation by Criterion. They’ll be releasing Harmony Korine’s totemic feature debut in October alongside a Val Lewton double of I Walked with a Zombie and The Seventh Victim and Masahiro Shinoda’s Demon Pond. Per the traditional October viewing, one could say that all four are, in their own ways, horror.
Meanwhile, G. W. Pabst’s immortal Pandora’s Box, featuring the never-bested Louise Brooks, gets a Blu-ray upgrade.

Since 2018, God of War has been a wildly different narrative experience compared to the series’ early outings, featuring an older, wiser, and emotionally more complex Kratos who is trying to come to terms with his past deeds.
Interestingly enough, we may never have gotten the Kratos we have today. The concept art for God of War 3 showcases that Santa Monica had developed a few options for how the original trilogy’s finale could’ve played out, and from what we’ve seen, the Norse gods could have witnessed a far scarier version of the Ghost of Sparta in the recent entries.
What Would’ve Happened if Kratos Hadn’t Received the Power of Hope in God of War 3? Kratos may have been a little weaker if possessed by the Evils in God of War 3, but he would’ve still become infinitely more dangerous and unpredictable – Image Credit: Santa Monica Studio.

Releasing on May 14, 2024, The Pillowcase Murders is a somewhat unusual three-part docuseries.
Many true crime movies and series in the past have documented the crimes of well-known serial killers like Btk, but this one brings to light the crimes of a much lesser-known serial killer.
Here is the true story behind the Pillowcase Murders.
What Were the Pillowcase Murders?
The Pillowcase Murders were a string of no less than 22 murders and two attempted murders committed in Texas between 2016 and 2018.
Sadly, the victims were all older women. Each was smothered with her pillow before the assailant stole her valuables and fled.
Some of the women died in their own homes or independent apartments, but many were residents of senior living facilities.
The crime spree went unsolved for two years due to a combination of factors, including incorrect assumptions and alleged mishandling of investigations.

Many things about the movie Civil War are meant to be incendiary. The very concept of the movie, which has been released during an election year when the political culture could seemingly mirror the extreme reality of the film, is enough to make a general movie goer feel uneasy. There is dynamic imagery in the trailers that showcase American cities in peril, and although that can be seen in almost any high-budget action movie, these sequences hit differently. However, with everything that Civil War does to illicit an uncomfortable response from an audience, a controversy has recently come from the less likely place — the way they made their marketing.
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that a new ad campaign for the movie has been getting a lot of negative attention online. Civil War has released five new posters that aim to depict some haunting situations of American cities in shambles due to the war.

There’s just one problem. Well, perhaps more than one. Or none, depending on your point of view. We’ll explain.
The five images (below) tease postapocalyptic scenes in major United States cities that have been torn apart by conflict. The Sphere is blackened wreck amid a smoldering Las Vegas. There is a floating gun unit in a lake outside Los Angeles. There are troops on patrol in San Francisco. A Miami street lays in ruins. There are tour boats full of refugees on the Chicago River. All scenes suggesting war-torn destruction in iconic locations.
Except … none of these scenes are actually in the movie. They’ve caused some to wonder if the campaign is giving potential moviegoers a false expectation of what they’ll see in the film. Civil War is A24’s most expensive production to date,...

One of the most expressive, luminous performances in all of silent cinema is that of Louise Brooks in G. W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box. Now, thanks to a new restoration, audiences will have a chance to rediscover the 1929 masterpiece. Ahead of a theatrical release beginning at Film Forum on Valentine’s Day, Janus Films has unveiled the new trailer and poster for the restoration.
Here’s the synopsis: “One of the masters of early German cinema, G. W. Pabst had an innate talent for discovering actresses (including Greta Garbo). And perhaps none of his female stars shone brighter than Kansas native and onetime Ziegfeld girl Louise Brooks, whose legendary persona was defined by Pabst’s lurid, controversial melodrama Pandora’s Box. Sensationally modern, the film follows the downward spiral of the fiery, brash, yet innocent showgirl Lulu, whose sexual vivacity has a devastating effect on everyone she comes in contact with.

But only anger and resentment—stemming from human deceit—await her there. And before Lia can even begin to exonerate herself, the humans in hunting her leave devastation in their wake.

The inaugural volume of “Pandora Seven” was an utterly unique experience, largely due to the imaginative world-crafting of its creator Yuta Kayashima. While the first made an impact, there was the lingering question of whether the series fumbled into its originality, thus intrigue, with a mix match of themes and artistic approach that left many questions about its longevity.

Let's get something out of the way: Kuwait, and other countries within the Gulf, ban films all the time for featuring Lgbtqia+ characters and themes. Best Picture winner "Everything Everywhere All At Once" was banned for Joy's queerness (and moments like the butt-plug battle), "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" was banned for Gwen and her father's trans pride flags, "West Side Story" was banned for making the tomboy member of the Jets into a canonical trans character, and Marvel's "Eternals" was banned after refusing to cut its gay elements. At this point, it's not a surprise to read a headline about a film being banned in a region ruled by an oppressive regime, but in the case of the buzzy A24 horror film "Talk to Me," the ban is not about content, but a casting choice.
The film is not being banned because it's legitimately horrifying and features extreme moments, but...

Just when you thought Netflix’s “Black Mirror” references couldn’t get more real, Netflix has pulled a “Joan Is Awful” by including terrifying — and familiar — terms and conditions to its new show-based experience.
The “Black Mirror” experience, launched Tuesday following the release of Season 6 last week, enables fans to get the full “Joan Is Awful” treatment by seeing their own faces on the Streamberry streaming platform.
The website takes after the Season 6 episode “Joan Is Awful,” which centers on an ordinary woman named Joan (Annie Murphy) who is shocked to see her life depicted on a new show by the one and only Salma Hayek.
Netflix made a splash with the announcement, changing their Twitter name to “Streamberry US” (the streaming service referenced within the Season 6 installment) and drawing attention to their new profile picture, which features a red “S” à la Netflix’s “N.”

Note: The following Kate Mara and Josh Hartnett interview discusses major spoilers for “Black Mirror” Season 6, Episode 3: “Beyond the Sea.”
Season 6 of “Black Mirror” introduces an alternative 1969 in “Beyond the Sea,” in which two astronauts, Cliff (Aaron Paul) and David (Josh Hartnett), quite literally experience the best of both worlds by spending time with their families on Earth in a replica of their likeness while their bodies remain aboard a multi-year space mission.
Although both men spend limited time together on the mission, when a cult leader kills David’s family and burns his replica, David has no choice but to spend all his time alone on the spacecraft. After Cliff begins to worry that David might not survive in his isolation, Cliff’s wife Lana (Kate Mara) suggests that David could use Cliff’s replica for a break appear in Cliff’s likeness to visit their picturesque home and the forest surrounding it.

“Black Mirror” Season 6 star Annie Murphy was stoked to film the memorable church scene in “Joan is Awful,” despite its “gnarly” nature.
In the episode, an ordinary woman named Joan (Murphy) is shocked to discover a dramatized version of her life has become the subject of a new TV show on popular streaming service Streamberry, with Joan portrayed by Salma Hayek (who is playing herself). Except, instead of the real Hayek, it’s a computer-generated likeness licensed out by the “From Dusk Til Dawn” actress.
Joan learns that she has no legal recourse after signing her rights away by accepting the terms and conditions of the app, and takes another route to solving the problem by doing something outrageous in hopes that Hayek objects to her image being used in such a way.

BTS member J-Hope is reporting for military duty. The K-pop star shared a selfie showing off his new buzz cut and a message for fans as he began his 18-month mandatory military service in South Korea on Tuesday.
“I’ll be back in good health,” reads the caption on his Instagram, translated from Korean.
The artist, whose real name is Jung Ho-seok, follows in the footsteps of the group’s eldest member, Jin, who began his military service in December.
Under South Korean law, all able-bodied men are required to perform 18 to 21 months of military service. BTS members had already been granted a two-year extension on their government-mandated military service, with top-performing athletes and musicians occasionally granted exemptions.

L’amour a la mer (1964). Courtesy of Lobster Films.There is a strange paradox in the popular consciousness of the French New Wave. On the one hand, the nouvelle vague is renowned as an explosion of new filmmaking talent in France. From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, as so many histories of cinema tell us, masses of young directors debuted their work on the screens of France and then the world. After a decade and a half of sclerosis in the film industry, with rigid hierarchies and guild rules that prevented the emergence of directors who had not slowly made their way through the career rungs of the studios, a new generation burst onto the scene, upending the rules of filmmaking and forming a template for so many future new waves in the rest of the world. In many accounts, it is presented as something of a mass movement.

Growing up in a traditional Chinese (and predominantly Mandarin speaking) household and under a father who loved the comedy and action genres, references to Stephen Chow, Donnie Yen, Jet Li, Jackie Chan always spring up from time to time. Having inherited my father’s love for comedy, my family would never miss out on a chance to catch a Chinese comedy flick whenever one aired on television. As much as Rowan Atkinson (who has played the characters of Mr. Bean and Johnny English) is recognised as an irreplaceable icon of British comedy, I firmly believe that Stephen Chow is the same for Hong Kong cinema.

Out of the numerous films that Stephen Chow has starred in, Jeffrey Lau’s “A Chinese Odyssey Part 1: Pandora’s Box” continues to be one of the most intriguing and timeless in both its plot and humour.

It’s Marlene Dietrich, before Josef von Sternberg and The Blue Angel — and much of her mystique is already present. This sophisticated German silent observes a precarious, dangerous love triangle. Two men are entranced by the same woman: one deserts his bride on their wedding night and the other may have killed to possess her. Neither seems to get what he wants, yet Dietrich’s ‘woman one longs for’ is not a scheming femme fatale … maybe. The fluid, very modern direction of Curtis Bernhardt will be a revelation — this obscure Marlene Dietrich starrer is a superior piece of filmcraft.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” This Biblical phrase that closes writer-director Evan Spiliotopoulos’s The Unholy perfectly encapsulates it. A film about how nothing is what it seems in the context of a demonic horror film rooted in Catholicism. The church, a symbol of good, is used as the backdrop, but as in other films like The Nun, what takes place among the pews is wholly evil. And in a sense, by speaking of false prophets and introducing an untrustworthy journalist character, the film speaks of the effects of “fake news” and the consequences that ensue when false narratives are intentionally planted. It’s smart in that respect, but just because a film has a James Wan story credit, or in this case, a Sam Raimi producing credit, it sadly doesn’t spell a good supernatural tale.

At only 8-years-old Soleil Moon Frye picked up millions of fans and inspired countless other kids through her titular leading role in NBC sitcom “Punky Brewster.” She was starting to grow up around cameras, and when that show came to an end three and a half years later, while she continued to act, she also picked up an audio recorder and eventually a video camera to begin documenting everything from fun with her celebrity friends at theme parks to intimate conversations and musings on life. As the reality television genre began to take root in the industry, Frye’s recordings were kept just for her, “locked away” for more than two decades. But four years ago things changed.
Around that time, Frye tells Variety, she began to question if the way she remembered certain moments and events from her life really happened the Way she remembered them. Most people in...

The day Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Henry Walsh’s (Julian Richings) grandson Jackson died was the day they sold their souls to the Devil—figuratively speaking, of course. It wasn’t until they joined a Satanist church run by a bunch of posers in a community center that the idea to bring him back became more than simply a fantasy. That’s where they learned about an ancient book of dark magic possessing the means to do so and how they might find it. With all questions about its legitimacy evaporated after one of its spells inexplicably helps a dead crow fly again, the time finally arrived to fulfill their intention of transferring Jackson’s soul into another woman’s (Konstantina Mantelos’ Becker) unborn baby so that he may live once more.
We meet this trio on the day of the kidnapping only to learn the Walshs left nothing to chance.

Many fans of the CBS reality show, Big Brother, were dying for a second All-Stars season ever since the first one aired fourteen years ago.
But when the fans finally got their wish in 2020, many were turned off by the way Big Brother Season 22 played out.
For the past few seasons, the game has been plagued by gameplay that hasn't lived up to expectations, and all the fan frustration seemed to bubble over on All-Stars 2.
If the producers want to keep their audience engaged, these are the changes Big Brother needs to make for the future.
First things first, there needs to be more diversity, period.
There should be no more seasons that have only one person from the LGBTQ+ community, one or two people of color, one person over thirty, and so on.
Plus, there's always your typical surfer dude, the nerdy superfan, and the "weird" girl.
These repetitive...

Jonathan Majors has reportedly been cast as Kang the Conqueror and will make his debut in Ant-Man 3. Considering that Kang is a time traveler, it’s probably to let Paul Rudd know how many decades he has left until he starts showing signs of aging.
Other than the fact that Peyton Reed will return to direct, there aren’t many official Ant-Man 3 details yet (it doesn’t even have a release date at the moment), so we don’t know how major Kang’s appearance in this film will be. Is he the full-on villain of the movie? Is he a glorified cameo like Thanos in the first Guardians of the Galaxy or Klaw in Avengers: Age of Ultron? Still, a high profile announcement of an actor making waves in a hot property (Majors is currently starring in HBO’s Lovecraft Country) makes him seem more than post-credits fodder at least.
