The film doesn’t hit theater for a few more days, but one director certainly wants to have a massive Blu-Ray release for his latest film. Collider recently spoke with The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier about the film, which opens nationwide on June 13, and the filmmaker had some interesting tidbits on the possible extras on the film’s Blu-Ray release. I have to ask you…there’s been a lot of talk about the 2 different cuts that exist on the movie....

Saddle up for one of the best DVD sets to ever grace the vast plains of the DVD landscape. The John Wayne-John Ford Collection combines some of the best films these two mavericks made together, many of which are coming to DVD for the first time! One of the greatest director-star combinations in the history of Hollywood gets the Warner Home Video deluxe DVD treatment with the June 6 release of The John Wayne-John Ford Collection, a ten-disc set featuring eight of the team’s finest collaborations....

War has haunted humans since the beginning of time. While it is something that terrifies people, ironically, it has inspired them to create some of the most fantastic war movies. They produced films that showed all elements of the emotions one might feel at that time, from perseverance to complete carnage. However, creating such movies is not an easy feat, especially if they have a grandeur yet brutal battle scene. To create the correct atmosphere, filmmakers need to pay attention to so many things, from the choreography of the attack, light direction to sound, and even CGI....

AMC’s The Walking Dead Season 8 premiere is just around the corner and that means more walkers, more bloodshed and more Negan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been, in more ways than one, killing it as Negan ever since his debut in The Walking Dead season 6. It looks like we’re going to have plenty more of him to look forward to in the coming seasons and, if he has his way, we’re going to see an entire episode dedicated to Negan’s origins....

We have a brand new look at The Walking Dead season 10. AMC had originally intended to end the show’s latest season last year but, as we all know, 2020 had other plans. Rather than just make fans wait until season 11, the network opted to extend the current season by six additional episodes, which will begin airing next month. Now, we have a brand new teaser trailer, as well as a new batch of photos, offering a fresh glimpse at the zombie action coming our way in the near future....

Few series in television have been in quite the same level of esteem as HBO’s The Wire. Spanning five seasons, the series created by former Baltimore police reporter David Simon has been lauded for its authenticity, complexly interwoven narratives, and its diverse cast of characters, and is considered to be one of the best shows ever made. With such a large ensemble, many of its actors have gone on to promising careers, many having gotten their start on the show....

Netflix’s The Witcher isn’t the only adaptation based on the book series of the same name, but it was originally intended to stay close to the source material. In bringing the story of The Continent to life, there are 8 books to draw from, 2 of them being collections of short stories to help build the world up before the main story begins. Netflix used the short stories in season 1 for just that—each episode had its own small story to see from beginning to end, adding a kind of overarching plot with Ciri learning that she needs to find Geralt before the eventual tie-in of everyone’s storylines....

Animation in the ‘90s feels a bit like a fever-dream– while Disney began a string of massively popular animated features, television introduced the world to some of the strangest, most oddball cartoon characters of all time, and recollecting them can often be a weird experience. Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon seemed to be duking it out over who could serve up the craziest concoction, with audiences across the world reaping the benefits....

It’s the end of the road for Tosh.0, at least on its current network. It has been revealed that Comedy Central has canceled the long-running clip show, hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh. The upcoming season 12 will serve as its last at its current home. Though it may still find life elsewhere as ViacomCBS, which produces the show, is going to shop the show to networks and streaming services. Tosh.0 will conclude its run on Comedy Central as the network’s longest-running, weekly live-action show....

It showcases some of America’s most colorful characters, wild relationships and truly amazing stories.

So I was asked to review the King Kong video game after seeing the film. Yes, I was one of the lucky people to see the first world wide screening of the new Peter Jackson movie. My first opinion of the film was it was way too long and took way too long for anything to happen; that’s just one of the problems I had with the movie. But I took that out of consideration when starting to play the video game....

Netflix’s new comedy series, Unstable, inspired by Rob Lowe’s relationship with his son, has been in the works for quite some time, but Netflix has finally released a teaser and premiere date for the show. As Deadline reports, the show will feature Rob Lowe, a Hollywood veteran with a transformational career, starring alongside his son, John Owen Lowe. The story follows Rob Lowe as an eccentric father/biotech executive and John Owen Lowe playing his real-life father’s on-screen son who goes to work for his father’s company in the hopes of saving it from the brink of ruin....

Michael Giacchino is bringing something original to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Werewolf By Night. The Disney+ Halloween special is heavily inspired by some classic horror films that came before it, including Creature From the Black Lagoon and The Wolf Man. The official synopsis for the project reads: “Follows a lycanthrope superhero who fights evil using the abilities given to him by a curse brought on by his bloodline.” Werewolf By Night will be released almost entirely in black and white; however, that’s not the only thing that distinguishes itself from other MCU projects....

Clerks, Kevin Smith’s 1994 breakout film was a huge achievement in the realm of independent filmmaking. The movie is shot in black and white and features two protagonists, Dante (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson), working as clerks in a strip mall. The story takes place over the course of one extended shift as Dante is called into work on his day off. He and Randal’s opposing personalities and philosophies form the soul of the film, making for excellent profound and hysterical dialogue....

With the first season of HBO Max’s Peacemaker series coming to an end, many subscribers to the service will be looking for anything that can fill the John Cena-shaped hole in their hearts. They’ll have plenty to miss as The Suicide Squad spin-off has been as violent, silly, and touching as its full-length counterpart. There is another season of Jame Gunn’s hit show coming eventually, but in the meantime, there is another show that does everything Peacemaker does just as well, if not better: the hilariously odd and oddly heart-breaking Doom Patrol....

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will be released for a sneak preview in theaters with a historic deal Netflix made with AMC, Regal, and Cinemark. Netflix’s original films have had theatrical releases for a while now, but this is the first time the streaming platform has made a deal with the three top movie exhibitors in the US. Usually, a Netflix Original is released at a prominent film festival such as Sundance or Cannes, followed by a smaller theater release a few days ahead of its streaming release....
