Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently tweeted from the set of The Last Stand, claiming that he got banged up on the set. I think it’s safe to say we expect the same adrenaline fueled dose of action we always get from the biggest action star on the planet.

Javier Bardem is what the Spanish would call “uno de los mejores”, one of the best. Exceptional actors are a commodity in this day and age, and those who are must have taken inspiration from something or someone truly special. Bardem once declared, “I don’t believe in God; I believe in Al Pacino. And that’s true. If I ever get a phone call saying, ‘Would you like to work with Al Pacino?...

It’s obvious — a human face can practically never be as scary as a masked face. There are infinite options when it comes to masks, something which the horror holiday, Halloween itself, has tapped into for generations. Masks are creepy; they can be designed in grotesque or disturbing ways, with faces frozen in time. Masks are mysterious and suspenseful; you can’t truly know who’s lurking behind one until it’s removed. Masks are iconic, lodging themselves in the cultural lexicon; even a hockey mask or a weird William Shatner mask can launch a horror franchise....

Even inside India, Bollywood only tends to cover Hindi-language cinema; in a country with 447 native languages, it seems only natural that other regional movies, specifically Telugu and Tamil-language films, exist outside the limelight. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka also produce their fair share of movies. Lollywood, the movie industry in Pakistan, is actually in the top 20 list of countries producing films, per Culture Trip....

But, leaving the material on the cutting room floor felt like too much of a waste, and thus Kripke and his team came up with a rather elegant solution: release it separately as its own short film so that audiences can still live through the trauma alongside Billy, but without affecting the pacing of the rest of the show. “We had a whole storyline in episode 2, it’s not really spoiling anything, season 2 begins with Butcher MIA [after discovering Homelander, Homelander Jr....

The chances of Nobody 2 happening are looking pretty good. The original film, released in 2021, is directed by Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry) and written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad.

Since its debut in 2013, Bob’s Burgers has been serving up quality episodes. Whether it be contending with the financial woes inherent to the restaurant business, battling with the show’s incredibly irritating cast of supplemental characters, or dealing with internal familial drama, the Belchers always have a lot on their plate and often find themselves in pickles. If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen, and if you can’t handle drama, you definitely want to avoid this chaotic family-owned burger restaurant....

“Why make trillions if we can make…billions?” Dr. Evil laid the groundwork in Mike Myers’ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, despite his beloved idiocy. By the time that film had hit the masses, there were already a few films in existence that would go on to rake in at least $1 billion in revenue, per Insider. By now, as we welcome the year 2023, there have been lots more to add to such a prestigious list....
