Following the Vice Principals Season 2 premiere date announcement earlier this month, HBO has debuted a new trailer for the final season of this hit comedy series, which returns September 17. This new footage reveals that Neal Gamby (Danny McBride) will be teaming up with his former rival, Lee Russell (Walton Goggins), to find out who shot Gamby at the end of the Season 1 finale last year. As we can also see in the trailer, there is no shortage of suspects that Gamby and Russell must investigate....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been expanding in some new and unexpected ways recently, with the likes of Moon Knight and Werewolf by Night delving into darker Marvel lore, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law going down a meta-comedy route, and future movies like Blade and Thunderbolts continuing to push the boundaries of the MCU. Could the future of the franchise also include a solo Groot movie? It could according to star Vin Diesel, who has provided the repetitive but iconic Guardians of the Galaxy character since 2014, who says Marvel want to make a Planet X movie, which is Groot’s home planet....

Superman is on everyone’s mind in the DC universe. Ever since James Gunn dismissed Henry Cavill from the role and fans lost their minds, we’ve all been wondering who the next Superman will be. There have been some good rumors circulating. A lot of fans have made excellent art, putting different actors’ heads on Superman’s body. But Gunn assures us that his plan for the DCU involves a little bit of a wait before Superman will be cast again....

Pennyworth is perhaps one of the most well-known non-super characters in the superhero universe. His iconic relationship as butler to Bruce Wayne earns him a mention in most Caped Crusader conversations. Alfred was the glue that held the broken fragments of a young Bruce Wayne and his affairs together following the premature death of his parents. Without Alfred, Bruce could never have successfully fulfilled his role as protector of Gotham City....

Spoiler Warning: She-Hulk Season One She-Hulk had its ninth and final episode of the season out this week. A lot happened in it, and despite the masterpiece of fourth wall breaking that occurred, not all fans were happy with some of the other things that went down. She-Hulk is deeply connected inside the MCU canon. The number of other superheroes and significant show events turns She-Hulk into a nexus of universe-changing occurrences....

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, starring Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader, is regarded as one of the best-ever Batman movie franchises in the character’s on-screen history (per Looper). Indeed, the trilogy was a triumphant marriage of Nolan’s trademark cinematic style and flawless character portrayals by the likes of Bale, Cillian Murphy, and Heath Ledger, among many other big Hollywood names. Part of what made The Dark Knight an execeptional piece of superhero media was its portrayals of various major Batman villains....

The Devil Conspiracy was directed by Nathan Frankowski and stars Alice Orr-Ewing (The Theory of Everything) in the lead role of a woman who has been abducted by a Satanic cult and impregnated with a clone of something sinister and potentially harmful. The movie was produced by Samuel Goldwyn Films, and it contains a sci-fi horror theme about the development of a biotech company’s technology to clone historical figures. This type of innovation allows them to create and auction clones of Michelangelo, Galileo, Vivaldi, and other famous artists to the world’s wealthiest individuals....

It seems that a high-powered producing team is readying a remake of a 1948 film. Deadline London is reporting that producers Walter Parkes and Laurie McDonald are setting up a remake of The Fallen Idol. Screenwriter David Farr is writing the reboot to the 1949 film, which was directed by Carol Reed and written by Graham Greene. Parkes and McDonald are developing the film through Studio Canal, which owns the rights to the original film and it was said they would not seek out financing until they have a completed script, director, cast and budget lined up....

The ceremony chose the honorary winners from the nominees that included films released theatrically in China between the dates July 1, 2020, and July 15, 2021....

The Star Wars prequels have gotten a lot of hate over the years. Upon their release, they were quite divisive, as George Lucas’s telling of the story of Anakin Skywalker, the Clone Wars, and the Fall of the Republic weren’t quite what audiences had expected. At the time, audiences had grown used to the tone and excitement of the original trilogy, and the different approach of the prequels left a bad taste in some fans’ mouths....

The Good A very powerful film that will be seen as a classic in 10 years. The Bad Not enough special features. The Good Shepherd is a very intricate look at the formation of the CIA through the eyes of Edward Wilson (Matt Damon). Wilson is a smart, seemingly average sort of man who, through the group Skull and Bones, ends up being recruited to run an organization that looks after America’s interests overseas....

It has been five years since we last saw a standalone Guardians of the Galaxy film when Vol. 2 was released in 2017. Sure, we’ve had quite a few appearances of the Guardians since then in two Avengers movies and most recently in Thor: Love and Thunder, but fans are hankering for more. They’ll have to wait until May 5, 2023, to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on the big screen for that, but Marvel and Disney have a wait to satiate those fan appetites this winter (other than the recently released shorts series, I Am Groot)....

The Mandalorian returns to Tatooine in a spectacular season two premiere. Jon Favreau pulls triple duty as showrunner, director, and writer of the episode. He delivers an action-packed, space western chock full of epic Star Wars lore. Tusken Raiders, an old ally, and a new friend help Mando (Pedro Pascal) take down a monstrous Krayt dragon. We also get a surprise cameo from a fan favorite that will have audiences cheering....

It seems to me that actor Jason Statham has become the “Jean-Claude Van Damme” for a new generation. Granted, I think Statham has better acting skills than the Belgian martial artist but there is a comparison that can be made. In fact, that comparison could also be made with another ’90s action star … Steven Segal. Fellow ’90s action stars Bruce Willis or Nicolas Cage could also make apt comparisons but I would argue that their body of work is broader than what Statham has demonstrated thus far, and I believe their acting skills are a bit above his....

After a year of movies and two months of hype over the cream of the crop, the prom of Hollywood, the Oscars, have come and gone… even though it took way too long to get to the gone part. The show clocked in at almost four hours, and I sat through the whole thing (except James Taylor’s song) and was even late for work just to watch the last few awards....
