As with many characters in Prime Video’s high-budget series,The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Halbrand is a character that was created for the show. Given that the series is based on the Second Age of Middle-earth andJ.R.R.Tolkien’s appendices, the creative team has taken to developing interesting and mysterious characters with somewhat shady pasts. No one fits this description more than the handsome somewhat roguish anti-hero, Halbrand played byCharlie Vickers....

Sesame Streetis one of the most popular and influential television shows of all-time. That’s not an opinion; it’s an objective fact. You don’t stick around for over 50 years and win the hearts of countless children and parents if you’re not popular and influential. And yetMarilyn Agrelo’s documentaryStreet Gang: How We Got to Sesame Streetnever really tells us more than we already know. There are fun anecdotes, and it’s nice to make sure audiences know the names of the people who created this hallowed piece of children’s educational entertainment, but Agrelo rarely seeks to dig deeper or to explore the show’s legacy beyond the audience’s general awareness....

TheTenetruntime has reportedly been revealed, and folks are in for a bit of a surprise – it’s not quite as epic as some ofChristopher Nolan’s recent blockbusters. The international espionage thriller is encased in secrecy, but we do know thatJohn David Washingtonstars as “The Protagonist” in an absolutely stacked ensemble that includesRobert Pattinson,Elizabeth Debicki,Kenneth Branagh,Aaron Taylor-Johnson, andMichael Caine. We also know that the film deals with something called “time inversion” which isdefinitely not time travelbut also notnottime travel either?...

Universal has released a newThe Bosstrailer online. The film starsMelissa McCarthy(who co-wrote the film with directorBen Falcone) as a titan of industry who goes to prison for insider trading. When she’s released, she attempts to rebuild her empire by leading a group of brownies to sell the most cookies by any means necessary. Like theprevious trailer, this one is largely underwhelming, and while it does have a few more laughs as well asPeter Dinklagewielding a samurai sword, the premise seems a little tired before it even begins....

If you’re wondering just WTFThe Midnight Gospelis, you’re in good company. There hasn’t been much information by way of description available beyond announcing that the psychedelic series fromPendleton Ward(Adventure Time) andDuncan Trussell(Duncan Trussell Family Hourpodcast), animated by the talented folks at Titmouse, would be streaming on Netflix. The synopsis, which callsThe Midnight Gospel"the story of Clancy, a spacecaster with a malfunctioning multiverse simulator who leaves the comfort of his extra-dimensional home on the Chromatic Ribbon to interview beings living in other worlds," doesn’t really explain much either....

“Is Tamara home?” It’s been a decade since we first heard those chilling words as the prelude to terrifying slaughter, but the Strangers are back in theaters this year with the long-developed sequelThe Strangers: Prey at Nightand you better believe Dollface is up to her old tricks. (ie, being creepy, stabbing people, etc.) Today, we’re happy to debut the first clip from Prey at Night, featuring the return of that hair-raising question....

Now six decades into his career,Martin Scorsesehas not only remained one of the most respected and lauded filmmakers of all time but his popularity has perhaps never been higher. With the help of a recent string of late-period achievements, his devout passion to film preservation, and hot-topic comments on thestate of the industry, the director is inseparable from film culture and discourse. His style, themes, and preferences are all documented and understood by everyone with an ounce of film knowledge....

Some subjects feel they should be untouched by the genre of comedy — there are things you just don’t laugh about. And while we are definitely not chuckling when we watchThe Coffee Table,this exceedingly dark horror-comedy pushes the boundaries of its genre. The title itself doesn’t give anything away, but directorCaye Casas' film turns the mundane titular object into a vehicle for the most appalling, heartbreaking sequence, only for it to be interrupted by moments of absurd humor....

After years and years in development, theUnchartedmovie finally has a release date, as Sony will release the video game adaptation starringTom Hollandon Aug 05, 2025. That puts the action-adventure film on a collision course withSteven Spielberg’s musicalWest Sidestory starringAnsel Elgort, not to mention Paramount’s untitledComing to Americasequel starringEddie Murphy. Dan Trachtenberg(10 Cloverfield Lane) is directingUnchartedfrom a script byJonathan RosenbergandMark Walker.Spider-Manstar Holland will play young treasure hunter Nathan Drake, based on the character featured in the Naughty Dog/Sony Playstation game....
