It looks like James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water will finally lose the box office throne thanks to another big name in the industry, M. Night Shyamalan. Knock at the Cabin, the most recent release from the director of The Sixth Sense, will take the lead this weekend after a great debut, positioning itself as one of the most successful of his career. According to ComicBook.com, Knock at the Cabin debuted with a total of $5....

First of all, there is going to be a lot of talk and hype about writer/director James Cameron and his extremely ambitious new film, Avatar over the next few weeks and months to come. Some reviews will be bad, spite-fueled Cameron haters bitter for this stupid reason or that, and then some will be good, fantastic, glowing reviews gushing about what a triumph in filmmaking this is and what a genius Cameron is for pulling it off when, once again, no one thought he could....

Baby Yoda mania is still in full swing with no signs of slowing down. The Mandalorian breakout star is everywhere and he now even has his own Hamilton-inspired song. The song in question is based on “Dear Theodosia” from Hamilton: An American Musical. One would expect Baby Yoda fever to die down in the weeks to come, but we still don’t even have the full line of merchandise yet, but that will change in the coming months....

We Learned a few things about what we can expect in the upcoming season of Ballers last week from the season premiere. For one, we know that we are going to be getting a lot more of Dwayne Johnson, which is great, because The Rock makes everything better. We also learned that his character Spencer is starting to take his job very seriously, and that he is going after his old manager Andre (Andy Garcia)....

Battlestar Galactica fans might not appreciate this… In a story from The Digital Bits, it appears that Battlestar Galactica: Season Three will most likely be coming out in April 2008 froom Universal Studios Home Entertainment. Apparently, Battlestar Galactica: Season Three “is already out in parts of Europe and it comes out on 11/21 in Australia.” It seems that avid viewers of the show “use the DVDs to catch up on what’s happened before the start of the new season....

Andrew Adamson (Shrek, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe) is producing a big-screen adaptation of Beasts of Burden, based on the Dark Horse Comics series. Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson created the comic book series, which centers on a group of dogs and one cat who form an alliance to protect their owners after a series of bizarre supernatural occurrences take place. The project is said to be a CGI-animated endeavor, with Andrew Adamson producing alongside Aron Warner and Dark Horse Entertainment’s Mike Richardson....

The right mix of terror and an amazing duo sets ’90s disaster movies apart from stuffy romances and comedies. In the ’90s, disaster movies were all that. If you wanted to experience a plane crash, an earthquake, a tornado ripping through the drive-ins, or an alien takeover, you’d find yourself at the theater from 1990-1999. Disaster movies are loved and accepted by so many people, because they’re such a guilty pleasure; sometimes they’re so bad that they’re good....

Consider a time when hardly anybody celebrated Christmas. By the 1600’s, the holiday had died out for a variety of reasons, including the ironic antagonism of Puritans and the extensive poverty and awful working conditions of most people; if Christmas existed at all, it was mainly for the rich. A confluence of forces changed all this by 1843– new technologies and factories created affordable presents, labor laws like the 1833 Factory Act gave families time to celebrate, and a middle class grew out of poverty thanks to these trends and other social reforms....

When it comes to more artistic films, horror has a lot to offer. It’s not just that “gore can be art if done right” (it can be), but there’s more to the genre than just splatterfests with basic scripts. It’s true that horror films aren’t usually artsy, but when it happens, people look up and observe. Horror and art aren’t part of different conversations. At least, they shouldn’t be. And if you’re looking for your next horror fix to use in those awkward conversations where horror is belittled, we’ve compiled a list of examples for you to use....

Paramount+ (stylized as Paramount+, part of the Paramount Network) has become a new and evolutionary streaming service. Created by the CBS Corporation, and renamed from its existing CBS All Access title launched back in 2014, the platform totals over 32.8 million subscribers already, while housing a diverse range of content from the CBS network, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and a variety of additional networks with an expansive collection of movies and shows....

The art of the Threequel is no easy science. Whether it ends a trilogy or sets up a franchise for years to come, the third film in a series must be incredible and fulfill expectations that are hard to live up to. Franchise films tend to go big, dominate, and make money to appease the Hollywood machine and the fans that come in droves seeking entertainment. There are third films maligned by the masses and critics, but please a particular fan base like The Matrix Revolutions....

Leave it to Dave Filoni to give us something really interesting to chew on. The man responsible for Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels was on hand at Star Wars Celebration today for a panel with Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo. During the panel, Filoni revealed a previously unreleased clip from Star Wars: Clone Wars that shows bounty hunters Cad Bane and Boba Fett squaring off in a duel that, sadly, never made it to the show....

Free TV? Whoop-doo! I haven’t had cable in nearly ten years. No satellite dishes for me, either. If I want to catch something on television, I have to wait for the DVD or watch it through the display window at Sears. Which is okay. I’m not in a rush to find out what happened on Lost anytime soon. I’m content with waiting for the entire series box set to arrive sometime in 2012....

The week of July 29th through August 3rd, 2007 Boos! and Whoop-doos! Comic Con 2007? Boo! This year’s Comic Con? Boo! What did we learn from this year’s Comic Con? Absolutely nothing. J.J. Abrams wouldn’t tell us the name of his new monster movie. Steven Spielberg failed to show. And I told a bold faced lie to Lou Ferrigno, which wouldn’t have been so bad had he not caught me telling it....

In Brad Pitt’s latest movie Bullet Train features a number of big name cameos from stars who Pitt has previously worked with, including Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock. The trio recently starred together in Bullock’s movie The Lost City, and her cameo in Bullet Train was something of a payback for Pitt’s appearance in that movie. Another star making an unexpected cameo in Bullet Train is Ryan Reynolds, who seems to have been returning the favor of Pitt appearing in Deadpool 2, something Pitt recently discussed with BBC Radio 1....

Screen Media Films and the man himself, are sharing the trailer for Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road, the upcoming documentary of the music legend. Brian Wilson took to Instagram to share with his fans, captioning it with, “Very excited to share the trailer for Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road. Watch in theaters and On Demand November 19.” Of course, devoted Brian Wilson fans who have been captivated by his music and life story of loss and triumph, couldn’t help but get emotional upon seeing their reclusive legend gently speak about his life....

Even though season two recently dropped, fans are already eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Netflix’s seductive regency romance. Bridgerton, from the novels by Julia Quinn, explores the love stories of each of the Bridgerton siblings as they each come of age and compete for suitable matches. The new adaptation of the series on Netflix may seem like a classic Jane Austin romance, but quickly proves to be full of modern twists and turns....

Sultry film and television siren Meagan Good (The Game, Jumping the Broom) has signed on for the 5th season of the hit Showtime comedy series Californication. Good will be seen in 8 episodes as Kali, a smoking hot singer who sparks a flame in Hank (series star and executive producer David Duchovny), but who also has a connection with her mentor, the hip hop mogul (recently announced guest star RZA) who hires Hank to write the screenplay for his new film....

Barring the works of Jordan Peele, few other horror flicks are as socially and culturally resonant as the Candyman films. Both Bernard Rose’s cult classic and Nia DaCosta’s reboot from last year have a lot to say, and know how to get our attention in doing so. They use mythology to show us that which is terrifyingly real - both in the 19th century, 1992, and 2021. Even Candyman neophytes may be familiar with the urban legend; utter his name five times before a mirror, and the villain will come to swiftly slay you with his hook....
