For decades, I’ve heard moviegoers dismiss blockbusters as nothing more than excuses for elaborate visual effects. Most of the time, that’s hyperbole. In the case of Twister, it is 100 percent true. As detailed in this 2020 feature in The Ringer, Twister did not begin its life as a story about daredevil storm chasers. Director Jan de Bont didn’t grow up as a boy in Netherlands dreaming of the day when he could capture the majesty and terror of tornados onscreen. The whole film started when Steven Spielberg wondered in the mid-1990s if computer effects had progressed to the point that they coul...

Charlize Theron has dubbed Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga a “beautiful film” and praised Anya Taylor-Joy. The 48-year-old actress played Imperator Furiosa in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road and she and the 28-year-old actress, who played a younger version of her character in the latest movie in George Miller’s money-spinning post-apocalyptic franchise, released earlier this year, are eager to meet up to “connect” over the role. She told The Hollywood Reporter of the fifth installment in the series: “It’s amazing, it’s a beautiful film.” Asked if she’s discussed it with Taylor-Joy yet, she replied: “No, we’...

Giancarlo Esposito says “no one” has correctly guessed his Captain America: Brave New World role yet. The 66-year-old actor debuted as his mystery character in the recently released trailer for the upcoming Marvel movie, though the villain is still yet to be named by The Boys star or studio boss Kevin Feige. Speaking on a panel at the Fanboy Expo Knoxville over the weekend, he said: “The character I’m playing is a badass.” “That always excites me. For me to develop that character in line with the character’s inception is a fascinating art for me. I had an incredible time shooting it. I’m not t...

In the era of streaming, we’ve gotten used to having everything at our fingertips. Gone are the days of rushing to your TV after dinner to make sure you don’t miss a minute of the newest episode of your favorite show, or checking the listings to see what movies are on over the long weekend and save yourself a trip to Blockbuster. Apps have made everything easier to access, which is a net good in many ways. Still, there was something fun about surfing through TV channels later at night and happening upon something you’d never seen before. Those of us who were alive a couple decades before strea...

Steven Spielberg is one of the most prolific and successful film directors in history. But his directorial accomplishments — imagine making films as good and as varied as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Schindler’s List, and have neither one be your best work (arguably) — can sometimes overshadow the enormous amount of stuff Spielberg has made beyond what’s listed on his IMDb director’s filmography. For example: He’s contributed to documentaries on subjects ranging from Chuck Jones to Ray Harryhausen to the Holocaust. He‘s produced TV series like Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Bra...

Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson takes up the mantle of America’s Sentinel of Liberty inCaptain America: Brave New World, the character’s first starring film after The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In that show, the government tried to militarize Captain America by giving his shield to John Walker. But that turned into a disaster, which is how Sam became Cap in the first place. In our latest Marvel video, we’ll give you all the backstory you need to know about The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and on General (now President) “Thunderbolt” Ross from H...

It’s a brave new world for the MCU: One where Harrison Ford is the President of the United States. Ford co-stars as President “Thunderbolt” Ross in the new Captain America movie, taking over the role from the late William Hurt. In Captain America: Brave New World, Ross tries to recruit the new Captain America, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) to become an official operative of the U.S. Government. It’s never worked out in the past, but maybe this time? (Spoiler alert: It will definitely not work out this time either.) The first trailer for the film is here, you can see Ford mixing it up with Mackie...

One of the most distinctive screen presences in the history of movies has died. Shelley Duvall, best known for a string of films she made with director Robert Altman in the 1970s, and for her unforgettable performance in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining passed away this week. She was 75 years old. Her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy, told The Hollywood Reporterthat Duvall “died in her sleep of complications from diabetes at her home in Blanco, Texas.” Born in Fort Worth in 1949, Duvall was attending junior college when she met Altman while he was filming Brewster McCloud in Texas.

Paul Mescal is hopeful that Gladiator II and Wicked can repeat the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon. The two blockbusters are both set to hit cinemas on November 22 and Mescal hopes that the opposing films can recreate the frenzy that came with the release of Barbie and Oppenheimer simultaneously in July 2023. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Mescal said: “Wickdiator doesn’t really roll off the tongue, does it? I think my preference would probably be Glicked if it has a similar effect to what it did for Barbie and Oppenheimer.” “It would be amazing ’cause I think the films couldn’t be more polar op...

Deadpool & Wolverine has to be the most improbable Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to date. The reasons are more legion than the son of Professor Xavier and Gabrielle Haller. For almost 20 years, the X-Men — along with Deadpool and Wolverine with them — were controlled by a totally different film studio, 20th Century Fox. Their Deadpool movies were full of R-rated violence and profanity, both big no-nos in the PG-13 MCU. And even before Marvel bought Fox, Wolverine star Hugh Jackman announced his retirement as the character and released his superhero farewell, 2017’s Logan, where his X-Man die...
