Daredevil chronicles the life of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), aka the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, a charming, blinded-in-childhood defense attorney by day and a gruesome but principled crime-fighting vigilante by night. Murdock’s priorities, his Catholic faith, and his strict refusal to kill or cause the death of his enemies no matter what they are guilty of (though he is certainly capable of doing so), as well as his unflinching need to do whatever is necessary to deliver his city’s worst criminals to the hands of Lady Justice, are constantly in conflict....
Fans of the character will have no doubt noticed that The Incredible Hulk set up not one but two possible adversaries for the Hulk to battle in the sequel. Besides the omnipresent threat from the military and a possible return of the Abomination, either Samuel Sterns, aka The Leader or Leonard Samson, aka Doc Samson could battle Marvel’s mightiest hero. And according to what Louis Leterrier told MTV, he thinks that the decision should be made by the fans....
There seems to be an endless supply of Halloween and Christmas movies, but what about Thanksgiving? That’s where Planes, Trains & Automobiles can enter the picture. Thanks to the wonderful chemistry between its stars Steve Martin and John Candy, with a flawless blend of heart and humor, John Hughes’ 1987 comedy is a quintessential Turkey Day delight for the whole family… The Beloved Steve Martin-John Candy Holiday Comedy Gets An Adults-Only MPAA Rating Thanks To One Profanity-Laced Scene So, why the hard R rating?...
Whenever you sit down to watch one of Jordan Peele’s horror films, you know that the hair-raising thrills will be coupled with poignant commentary. The filmmaker’s debut picture, 2017’s Get Out, is a scathing exploration of how seemingly progressive people can still be instrumental in overarching systems of oppression. His most recent flick, 2022’s Nope, critiques the modern fixation on spectacle and how our insistence on documentation can have disastrous consequences....
Star Wars has always been fairly consistent in its television series, something which (at least according to fans) cannot be said about their movies. Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars was praised for its portrayal of the fan-favorite villain, General Grievous, while Star Wars: The Clone Wars was praised for its darker tone, characterization, and animation. Star Wars: Rebels was also met with great acclaim. Star Wars has no shortage of live-action television for those who perhaps aren’t that well-versed with animation....

The Canadian sitcom Letterkenny is well-known for its conversational, witty, cold opens, and Hulu dropped the opener for the eleventh season today. Wayne, Katy, Daryl, and Dan are back at it again, this time taking aim at overused acting methods. The Hicks sit around the kitchen table, drinking beers and discussing movies, which they refer to as ‘motion pictures.’ They share their distaste for several annoying movie tropes, including the way two actors who are facing off yell at each other before getting closer and quieting down until their last line is delivered so hushed that you have to turn up the volume to hear it....
Lionsgate and the filmmakers of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire are pleased to announce that Sam Claflin has been cast in the role of Finnick in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel Catching Fire. Charasmatic and clever, Finnick was a District 4 Hunger Games victor when he was fourteen. After breaking out in his role as the romantic lead in last year’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Claflin starred in the box office smash Snow White and the Huntsman playing Prince William alongside Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth....
Akira Kurosawa inspired a generation of filmmakers across the world with films like Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and The Hidden Fortress, unleashing the best aspects of Japanese film culture upon the cinematic arts. Many filmmakers inspired by his era, the Scorseses and Spielbergs of Hollywood fame, just to name a few, credit Kurosawa as one of the catalyzing forces behind their own cinematic careers as film directors, and many of the most famous American films ever made (Star Wars, we’re looking at you) carry his distinct signature on the very spirit of their frame....

The CW has officially ordered a pilot for The Lost Boys TV series. The show was originally announced in 2016 with Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas attached, but a pilot was never ordered. Even though the pilot for the series based on the 1987 horror classic didn’t happen three years ago, the project has been said to be a favorite amongst network brass. Thomas is on board once again, but Heather Mitchell (Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy) has been brought on to pen the pilot script....
The Western film genre has been a popular one since the silent film era, hitting its zenith in the 1950s with the help of stars like John Wayne and Gary Cooper. And for legions of viewers, that’s what they think of with Westerns: blockbusters like High Noon and Stagecoach, featuring tales of cowboys and Indians, with clear-cut heroes and villains and damsels in distress. It began as a quintessentially American genre, all about the frontier spirit and Manifest Destiny....
Due to the Mikaelson family’s nature of being a very complex group of people, and Elijah’s reputation as the noble brother, it would be easy to pin the worst sibling on someone like Finn, who repeatedly tries to kill his family, or Kol, who has a history of betrayal. Klaus could also be a reasonably easy option as far as morals go, given his lack of nearly all of them. While Rebekah has also been known to cross some lines over a thousand years, and Freya is not perfect either, perhaps Elijah may be one of the biggest problems in the family, as he is also perhaps the least likely to earn the title....

It’s been more than fifteen years since Dick Durock put on the makeup and costume of DC Comic’s “muck-encrusted mockery of a man” for the televisions series Swamp Thing. Durock played the titular monster throughout the series as well as two films. Now, with Swamp Thing coming to DVD, he has reflected on the role in an interview with Comics2Film. Durock, a stuntman by trade, underwent a massive transformation to play the creature....
