Whovians, rejoice! According to a Tweet from the official BBC Doctor Who Twitter account, filming has officially begun on Ncuti Gatwa’s debut run as the fifteenth doctor, meaning the actor has finally stepped off of a sound stage into his first TARDIS to begin filming the next season of the fan-favorite series. Alongside a behind-the-scenes video of a clapperboard showing the already confirmed director Dylan Holmes Williams and an image of the TARDIS, the Tweet reads, “Action!...

For nearly three decades, Pixar has taken animation and storytelling to new heights. Whether you need to just keep swimming or be with a friend who loves to play, the stories Pixar creates go to infinity and beyond. The impossible becomes possible, like toys coming to life or turning into a giant red panda. Dreamers are given the inspiration to go farther and take risks. Yet, as much as Pixar films push the proverbial envelope, the studio’s theatrical releases have been all over the place....

In 2020, Disney+ announced that work was moving forward on a remake of the 1986 film SpaceCamp. The original told the story of a group of children and teenagers, all wannabe astronauts, who arrive at the actual Space Camp for space-themed fun and frolics, culminating in the chance to be aboard the space shuttle Atlantis during a static engine test at the launch pad. But a catastrophic malfunction results in the shuttle launching while they are aboard, with only rookie astronaut Andie Bergstrom (Kate Capshaw) with them to help them get home....

Gabriel LaBelle has a monumental task on his hands as the up-and-coming talent is set to play a fictionalized version of acclaimed director Steven Spielberg in The Fabelmans. The film is loosely based on the childhood of Spielberg, as we follow Sammy Fabelman growing up in post-World War II Arizona from age seven to eighteen. During this time, Sammy discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of movies helps us see the truth about each other and ourselves....

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is the penultimate film in the blockbuster Hunger Games franchise. It follows the recent trend in Hollywood, where a studio will take the last book of a profitable series, and break it up into two films to milk every ounce of revenue possible. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows also got the lucrative separation treatment into two parts. J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit was divided into a trilogy....

A show’s title sequence is one of the most important things for establishing the tone of the series. An excellent title sequence can immerse the audience within that world and build their excitement for the story that is about to unfold in the particular episode they are watching. There have been so many legendary title sequences over the years, ranging from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to Game of Thrones, Daredevil, The Office, and more....

The Stand is a post-apocalyptic horror/fantasy novel by American author Stephen King.

While the Sonic the Hedgehog films and The Super Mario Bros. Movie might be video game adaptations that are fun for the whole family, the Tetris film will be intended for more mature audiences. Officially, the film has been rated R with “language” specified as the only reason given, via FilmRatings.com. So while that suggests there won’t be gratuitous nudity coupled with blood and gore, the film will apparently be laden with enough swear words to push it past the PG-13 rating....

Bring home acclaimed writer/director Terrence Malick’s (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The New World) thought provoking film experience The Tree of Life, available exclusively on Blu-ray Disc Combo Pack October 11 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

There will be 11 episodes before the final season goes on hiatus, and then they will be picking back up again in 2022 to close out a program that has thrilled audiences since 2010....

The beauty of art lies is in its subjectivity. The ability to gather varied interpretations based on the same experience is quite interesting– what one might find enjoyable may not be the case with someone else, and it’s difficult to objectively state what is ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ Film is the prime example of an entire industry fueled by such discussions. While a person’s decision to go see a movie may be influenced by certain reviews or catchy headlines, an emotional response is still the rawest form of criticism....

It is no coincidence that film studios have remade most of George A. Romero’s films. They are as relevant and gory today as they were at the time of the release. Some are decent (Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead), others are not (the many direct-to-video remakes of Night of the Living Dead). Romero created the modern zombie in Night of the Living Dead, the film that set the standard for all zombie films to come, and has collaborated with horror author Stephen King twice with great results....

During a recent discussion with Jeffrey Lyons on Reel Talk Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3, Sideways) let it be known that he is most likely going to be in John Carter of Mars.

The iPod Video just got even more competition. According to Starz.com, the entertainment group announced a recent partnership with their “subscription-based Internet video and download application,” Vongo, and Toshiba so consumers can now take their digital content on the go. Vongo will provide content “for Toshiba’s new line of gigabeat Portable Media Center (PMC) products, which will be available in capacities of 30GB and 60GB.” What makes Vongo, launched in 2006, different is that it is “the first subscription-based service of its kind that allows consumers to download major Hollywood films and other video content over the Internet for playback on Windows-based PCs, laptops, portable devices as well as on a TV....

For a few moments there this format war seemed to resemble the Civil War. Though lets be honest, the format war isn’t nearly as important. In a story from The Digital Bits, it looked like Toshiba recently offered Warner Bros. a lot of money to go “HD-DVD exclusive.” At first it seemed like Warner might actually be considering this move which really would have swung the pendulum in HD-DVD’s favor. There was talk of “mid-August deadlines” on the part of Wal-Mart to decide which format would in fact line the shelves of its stores and that Toshiba had promised the chain “a large cooperative promotional budget to support HD-DVD sales....

An absolutely dreadful summer at the movies is rescued by the wizards at Pixar. Toy Story 3 is a joy to behold, a beacon of greatness in a sea of cinematic swill.

He’s long outgrown his favorite toys - Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Hamm (John Raztenberger), Rex (Wallace Shawn), and the bickering Mr....
