Every time I would watch one of my favorite Westerns like The Searchers or Once Upon a Time in the West, I would often marvel at the lack of Westerns existing in Hollywood today. Not just good Westerns, mind you, but just ANY Westerns. It is about as dead of a genre as any in today’s movie landscape, but, if Hollywood has proven anything, it’s that the industry likes to resurrect once-dead relics such as pirate movies and 3D....

Synopsis: “Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada....
The video game adaptation Uncharted has traversed its way to the top of the box office. The long-awaited film premiered in the United States where it’s going to earn about $44.1 million for its total haul from Friday to Sunday, putting Uncharted in the top spot at the weekend’s box office.

These numbers are better than what Sony had been expected, and it might have something to do with releasing the film in theaters only....

Starting November 22, Hulu’s forecast calls for making it rain with hip-gyrating men wearing bowties in Welcome to Chippendales, and it’s highly unlikely the series will be anything like late stars Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley’s take on a strip tease.

Kumail Nanjiani stars as Chippendales founder, Somen “Steve” Banerjee in this true crime-styled retelling of the company’s rise and fall....

Lee is forced to take care of his nephew Patrick, played by Lucas Hedges, while they navigate through the seas of grief....
Prey could very well be the best installment in the Predator franchise. It certainly has widespread acclaim to support this argument. It reinvents the franchise, placing the Predator in 1700s America, which transforms the film from simply another action flick into something of a period piece. The film follows a Comanche warrior named Naru, portrayed by Amber Midthunder (Banshee, Hell or High Water), a relatively unknown actress universally praised for her performance, as she risks life and limb to prevent the Predator from massacring her tribe....

The Orville: New Horizons is one such show that is quickly emerging as a sci-fi gem of popular culture. Although Seth MacFarlane had a different vision for The Orville, the most recent season definitely turned the dial a bit higher on all fronts. McFarlane, most noted for his crude humor on sitcoms like Family Guy, created his debut live-action show, which turned into a lot more than merely a Star Trek spoof....
Everyone has a movie that they probably watched a little too young—a film that has a particularly intense scene, or oddly mature themes to throw at children.

But what if I told you that the same people behind Watership Down made a film that manages to be even more intense?...
