The critics have been weighing in on the best of the year for a few weeks now, but it’s finally time for Hollywood itself to speak up, and out first are the Screen Actors Guild Awards. This is the largest guild and, traditionally, the first to announce their nominations, followed by voting bodies like the Producers Guild Awards and Directors Guild Awards. Together, this trio can give us a bit of a roadmap to Oscar while also providing some refreshing choices along the way, and indeed this morning SAG definitely went its own way....

A24has become known for a lot of things in the cinephile community; fiercely idiosyncratic indies, ambitious and unusual horror films, extravagantly priced merch you’re able to’t help but add to your cart anyway… the list goes on. But one of the most remarkable qualities in their winning streak is how often they provide a platform for visionary first-time filmmakers. From coming-of-age comedies likeGreta Gerwig’sLady BirdandBo Burnham’sEighth Gradeto instant horror classics likeRobert Eggers’The WitchandAri Aster’sHereditaryto pensive dramas likeJoe Talbot’sThe Last Black Man in San Francisco, A24 is consistently home to remarkable feature debuts....

The suit, filed by the actress on Thursday in L.A. Superior Court, alleges that Disney entered breach of contract by releasing the recent MCU movie both in theaters and on the Disney+ streaming service on July 9. According to the report, Johansson’s suit said that her contract with Disney guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release forBlack Widow, with her salary conditional on the film’s box office performance....

If you think the world already has enough Spider-Men, you might not be ready forSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Part coming-of-age tale, part psychedelic acid trip, and all a love letter to the comic book medium, Sony’s animated Marvel movie—written byPhil Lordand directed byBob Persichetti,Rodney Rothman, andPeter Ramsey—follows Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), a Brooklynite on the cusp of a bite from the same radioactive arachnid that turned Peter Parker into Spider-Man. As Miles still juggles newfound powers with the trials of being an awkward teen, Wilson Fisk (Liev Schrieber) rips a hole in reality, opening the door for the arrival of alt-universe Spideys like Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man: Noir (Nicolas Cage), Spider-Ham (John Mulaney), Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn), and Peter B....

Linda Hamiltonhas been absent from theTerminatorfranchise sinceT2: Judgment Day(although we did hear her voice in recordings featured inTerminator Salvation). However, she’s set to return forTerminator 6, and the first images of her have leaked online. There’s not much to say here other than she looks like a total badass (as always), and I’m curious to see how they’ll bring her character into the narrative. It seems like the plan here is to just ignore everything that happened afterTerminator 2, and follow a new timeline that allows Hamilton andArnold Schwarzeneggerto appear, but also hand off the series to new stars....

Thethrilleris a genre that can neatly blend into a multitude of others. Whether that’s the political,horror, or evencomedygenres, adding the tension of a thriller can elevate a story into the realm of the unforgettable. One such subgenre of the thriller that thrives with added tension is a survival story, with the ticking clock of the threat to life cranking the tension up as high as it will go. So, without further ado, here is a look at thebest survival thrillers currently streaming on Prime Video....

With all nine seasons ofThe Officerecently being made available to stream exclusively on Peacock, I recently got the chance to speak with the man responsible for turning an American adaptation of a beloved British comedy into one of the most iconic TV shows of all time:Greg Daniels. The American version ofThe Officewasn’t an instant hit, but Daniels and Co. nailed the casting and pretty quickly found their footing in the writers room....

It’s been over a decade sinceOpen Water, the vaguely enjoyable lost-in-the-ocean thriller that wowed Sundance audiences, was released andJaume Collet-Serra’s upcoming thrillerThe Shallowsseems to (pun intended) tread similar waters. At least that’s what I first thought when the first trailer for the film arrived online with the seemingly just-add-water plot: surfer lady (Blake Lively) gets stranded on rock with a hungry shark, roughly the size ofDwayne Johnson, circling her real estate in hopes of catching a late lunch....

With directorGuillermo del Toro’s fairy taleThe Shape of Waternow playing in select theaters, I recently sat down withDoug JonesandRichard Jenkinsfor an exclusive video interview. They talked about what it’s like working with del Toro, how he could be a film historian, the way del Toro will create character backstories for all his actors and include secrets that only they know, the incredible production design and if they had a favorite set, and a lot more....

It’s hard to followthe likes of Count Dracula, Carmilla, and Deathhimself, butCastlevania: Nocturnedidn’t come to play. Erzsebet Báthory (Franka Potente),Nocturne’s self-appointed Vampire Messiah, is a villain of ancient power, apocalyptic goals, and the means to achieve them — the latter a feat not even Dracula (Graham McTavish) managed. Báthory’s formidable success is toNocturne’s credit, a creative choice that, while drawing from the lore of theCastlevaniagames, has its roots in 17th-century history....
