 The Harry Potter Trio All Thought About Quitting The Franchise
In the words of Gilderoy Lockhart, "Fame is a fickle friend," a sentiment that echoed in the hearts of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, the three young child actors who became famous overnight, thanks to their central roles in the "Harry Potter" franchise.
Warner Bros. Pictures recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," the first of eight blockbuster films that earned the actors their global star status. The franchise has

The Batman Easter Egg In Watchmen That Stayed Hidden For Years
There was a time, long before "Justice League" when Zack Snyder's big ensemble comic book movie was "Watchmen," his 2009 film based on the classic graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. A gritty deconstruction of the superhero genre, "Watchmen" tears apart what it means to be an all-American superhero. And in its famous title sequence, there's a nod towards one of DC's most iconic heroes — Batman.
The title sequence has become something of a specialty for Zack Snyder. "Watchmen" is o...

Hellbender Trailer: Growing Up Is Hell In This Shudder Original
Growing up is hell in "Hellbender," a new horror film headed to Shudder next month. The film is a family affair, literally - it comes from the upstate N.Y. filmmaker family The Adams: Toby Poser, John Adams, and Zelda Adams. "Hellbender" was written, directed, produced, scored, and edited by the Adams Family (no relation to the Addams Family), who also star alongside Lulu Adams. The story follows a teenager who has been living in isolation on a mountain for her entire life. Everything chang...

The Fight For Luisa's Muscles: How Encanto Dispels The Disney Tradition
I may be a woman in my thirties, but if you think I haven't been scouring the internet for merchandise of Luisa from "Encanto," y'all don't know me very well. From the moment she appeared in the trailer, the internet exploded, expressing their immediate obsession with the "Buff Lady." The obsession didn't stop after "Encanto" made it to theaters, and it picked up even more steam once the film was made available on Disney+. Sure, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is the biggest Disney song in a quarte

You'll Be Able To Listen To The Batman Theme Music Tonight
Some of you reading this may not know Michael Giacchino by name just yet, but you've definitely heard his music. The Oscar winner has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand composers over the last two decades thanks to his work on everything from Pixar movies (yes, he's the one who made you cry your eyes out with his "Married Life" theme from "Up") to the MCU's "Spider-Man" film trilogy, the "Jurassic World" movies, and such acclaimed non-franchise titles as "Bad Times at the El Royale" and "

A New Film Studio Is Being Built In Actual Space
Pffft, imagine being a filmmaker trying to recreate the unforgiving conditions found in the vacuum of space through the use of models, fancy visual effects, or special aircraft simulating the effect of zero-gravity conditions. That's pretty much how it's always been done since the days of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the original "Star Wars," all the way up to "Gravity" and "Interstellar." But here's a radical thought:Â why go to all that trouble when one could simply just ... go to space and ma...

The Alien Easter Egg In Blade Runner You May Have Missed
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. Then I spotted this "Blade Runner" Easter egg, which connects Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic to his earlier 1979 space survival horror, "Alien."
During a time long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, when big franchises were only dreamt of, Ridley Scott had laid the groundwork to connect his two biggest sci-fi flicks. A box office hi

Why Won't People Let Former Disney/Teen Idols Grow Up?
(Welcome to The Soapbox, the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything.)
It's always fascinating to me when something comes out and the reviews are immediately polarizing. As a life-long fan of both Josh Peck and Hilary Duff, I really wanted to see the new spin-off series "How I Met Your Father," in which they both star. I did my typical perusal of entertainment critic Twitter reactions to see how people were feeling, and regardless of positive or

The Best Characters In Scream, Ranked
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's "Scream" (2022) explores many themes -- elevated horror, "requels," the entitlement that underscores modern fandoms -- and it does so through its characters. This is notable, because it wasn't a given.Â
The third film in Wes Craven's seminal slasher franchise all but abandoned its protagonists for rapid-fire plot points and Creed synchs. Other recent entries in blockbuster franchises that originated in the '80s and '90s rolled out old dramatis persone...
