Here at Movieweb, we have an outspoken group of individuals who make up our online community. And they contribute quite a bit to our site in terms of what films the paying public should and shouldn’t see. This year, they have compiled their own personal lists to find out which five films of 2011 were the most talked about and loved last year, here on this site. They also picked through their least liked movies, and found which single title reined as the “Movieweb Movie of the Year”....

The character of Daredevil is a favorite among Marvel fans worldwide. Currently, much of that love is driven by the version of the character played by Charlie Cox. While that take on the character first debuted in the standalone Daredevil series on Netflix in 2015, he has gone on to appear in a number of other projects, including The Defenders, Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk. He will finally be returning in his own series with Daredevil: Born Again, which is set to start streaming on Disney+ in the Spring of 2024....

The ’80s were the time of the buffed action hero, and since then, many kinds of actors have played such roles with great results: from Keanu Reeves (in two different decades) to Charlize Theron, to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. All those actors are well over forty, so who could take those kinds of roles and make them unique and fun for a new generation? We have some ideas, that don’t include Tom Holland, as we believe between his Spider-Man role and Uncharted, he’s already an action star....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 7 is about to kick off, which means the long-running Marvel series is coming to an end. While it remains to be seen just how the show will conclude, Chloe Bennet assures fans this won’t end like Game of Thrones. Another way of putting it is to say that viewers should walk away feeling satisfied, or at least not angry. Chloe Bennet, who plays Skye, aka Quake, on the show, has been making the rounds promoting the final season....

Very often, Western fantasy shows will present a world that doesn’t stray too far, aesthetically speaking, from Medieval Europe. They’ll use the tropes and aesthetics from works like Lord of the Rings or European folklore and mythology. While this can be interesting in the right hands, especially when these shows take these familiar roots and twist them, it does mean that a lot of fantasy shows on TV tend to look very similar in terms of world-building....

WARNING: There are MAJOR SPOILERS in this story for the series finale of Better Call Saul. After six seasons, Better Call Saul came to its conclusion on AMC on Monday night. Viewers may have different thoughts about the ending, which was in many ways definitive while still ambiguous enough to have fans wondering about what might be coming next for the Breaking Bad spinoff’s beloved characters.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, it seems that Bob and Harvey Weinstein have put together a winning bid in the Miramax Films auction. This will allow the brothers to take back operating control of the company that they founded in 1979 and later sold to Disney for $80 million in 1993.

Released in 2021, Army of the Dead was a huge success for Netflix, scoring 72 million account views within its first four weeks on the streaming platform. The team behind the film was so confident in its success, in fact, that a prequel (called Army of Thieves) had already wrapped filming prior to Army of the Dead’s release, as reported by Slash Film in December 2020. Army of the Dead was notable for subverting the zombie film trope, taking it in a new direction....
