MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY Even though Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is without a doubt the defining adaptation of the material, it is not the only one.

Following the Rankin/Bass animated television special of The Hobbit in 1977, filmmaker Ralph Bakshi tried his hand at adapting Tolkien’s lengthiest and most detailed story, The Lord of the Rings....

Wes Anderson has always been a unique director. He knows what he likes, how he likes it, and what kind of performance he needs for his films.

Do you want to know who the new Time Lord is going to be on the next season of Doctor Who? Well, you’d better start bothering producer Russell T. Davies, because he apparently knows who Peter Capaldi’s replacement is.

The Possession brings this summer’s movie season to a close this Labor Day weekend, with the haunting tale of an ancient demon looking for a human host, inspired by actual events. Originally entitled The Dibbuk Box, this thriller is based on several instances where people were tormented by demons known as dibbuks, who were trapped inside ornate boxes (one such instance happened right here in Los Angeles, back in 2004). Our story centers on Em (Natasha Calis), a young girl who picks up an antique box at a garage sale....

In the months immediately following the onslaught of COVID-19, the dynamics of sharing films with audiences took on a radical new form, with Disney Plus and HBO Max and others leaping onto the same-day release bandwagon. Overnight, multiplexes transformed into ghost towns. In the place of movie theaters, the primary vehicle to distribute movies up to that point, streaming took up the slack. The supposedly “experimental” simultaneous-release plan was put into effect as an exciting new opportunity to safely view films from your sofa without the need to don your hazmat suit....

Will we ever see a version of The Walking Dead without Rick Grimes in it? That’s certainly something that’s very hard to imagine, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Not just speculatively, but right from the mouths of those who make those decisions. As we ramp up for The Walking Dead season 8, both Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick on the show, and creator Robert Kirkman say that, even though it would be difficult, the series could definitely carry on without its lead character in the future....

J. J. Abrams is one of the biggest names in film and television, being the mind behind some of the most massive pop culture stories of the past twenty years; he relaunched the Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, and Star Wars franchises, after all.

Would Dirty Dancing be remembered so fondly without the signature charms of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes’ “I’ve Had The Time of My Life?" Would the painful resolution of 1997’s Titanic hit so deeply without the angelic tones of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On?” Maybe - but there’s no doubt that the long-lasting association with these tracks is inextricably linked. In any film genre reliant on the emotional investment of its audience, the musical scores play a huge part in creating and sustaining long-term success....

Protests are woven into the fabric of the social experience. It is natural to find oneself at odds with some aspect of society, politics, religion, or really any and/or all aspects of life. The history of protests dates as far back as there have been governments and monarchies to protest against. In the U.S., the American Revolution of the 1770s that led to the country to break ties with England started the long tradition of protests and uprising on our shores....
