It’s the genre that never goes out of fashion — action in cinema started out with the earliest days of the artform, and pretty much defined cinematic spectacle before landmark films like Citizen Kane came up with the modern film language. Action cinema has taken a turn for the better in the past two decades with the reinvention of what brawls and firefights look like on the screen. Gone are the days of big guns, massive explosions, and one-dimensional machismo....

For many years, the general American exposure to foreign films has been limited. If you were lucky, there was an art-house cinema in your town, and you kept a list of everything nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar. But Hollywood’s solution to that was to just remake the film in English, sure that Americans weren’t going to read subtitles. With the advent of streaming services that have made international film and TV readily available, and the realization that, yes, we are perfectly capable of enjoying media with subtitles (hello, Parasite, Money Heist, Squid Game, etc....

Ghostbusters may be one of the most recognizable film franchises of all time. Steeped in a creepy narrative that plagues the world with ghastly specters, the movies follow the titular team of top-notch ghost hunters as they free New York City from the threat of a total undead takeover. Fans are highly opinionated on all fronts; the originals are typically praised while the newer installments are often panned, but any Ghostbusters title is likely to do well at the box office!...

Since Disney began producing their first animated movies, villains have been a major part of the story. From the Evil Queen to newer villains like Doctor Facilier, these characters battle our heroes and add the crucial antagonist to the battle of good and evil. In the years since, Disney villains have come to captivate audiences, with some viewers even enjoying the villains more than the heroes. While many of these villains are truly evil, there are some that have proven a little more sympathetic....

In 2021, one debut by an Indian filmmaker took home awards at both the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival: Payal Kapadia’s A Night of Knowing Nothing.

The award, which was established in 2015, marked the first time an Indian director took it home, although that was a feat repeated in 2022 with Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes....

Albert Pyun was a niche filmmaker who had a variety of cult favorites such as The Sword and the Sorcerer, Cyborg, and even the 1989 Captain America. Per Deadline, he died Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 69. Sadly, he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and dementia several years ago....

Audiences did not know what to expect when GLOW debuted on Netflix in 2017. But the fictional account about the making of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling TV show quickly picked up a devoted fan following. That is why many fans were crushed when it was recently announced that Netflix will not be picking GLOW up for a fourth season. In an interview with The Playlist, the star of the series, Alison Brie, expressed her desire to see a GLOW movie get made to wrap up various loose story ends but doubted it would ever actually happen....

This may be a bit of a bold statement to make, but this year’s ArrowVerse crossover may very well be the most ambitious and massive one to date. We learned at the end of last year’s Elseworlds crossover that The CW and producer Greg Berlanti were planning to adapt the seminal Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline for the 2019 event.

The titular character Bob is both a cook and a restaurant owner who loves Thanksgiving. It is a holiday that allows him to experiment with different types of flavors for his Thanksgiving dinner, and often sees his family having to put up with his more eccentric behaviors....

From Marvel superhero shows to spinoffs of popular movies to half-hour family sitcoms, Disney+ has continually offered its users loads of good content. Among the many programs is its collection of old Disney shows, and even within that bunch, there’s even more to break down: some shows were live-action, but a lot of them were animated. Cartoons from the 90s and early 2000s might not have aired on television in several years, but the streaming service fortunately gives viewers the chance to get back to their youth and see their favorite cartoon characters on-screen again....

Tony Scott is a director that leaves behind a legacy of elegiac, romantic, and high frenetic action films. He pulled melodrama out of thin air, creating an atmosphere wholly unique to his style. Whether soaking his films in neon, blood, or, later, experimenting with color filters and shutter speeds, Scott pushed the envelope to make his scenes unfold in near delirium while remaining coherent. His frequent and closest collaborator Denzel Washington — with whom he made five films — was the perfect agent of chaos....
