One of the most happening periods of the last century was the ’90s. During this magical decade, we saw everything from the internet revolution, to incredible technological advancements, to new music genres being introduced. Plus, it’s considered to be one of the golden periods for action movies. The ’90s brought us everything from Bad Boys to The Matrix to GoldenEye, films that pushed the bombast and spectacle of ’80s action movies even further....

Alexander Skarsgård shows no mercy in the latest, heart-pounding trailer for director Robert Eggers’ The Northman. A Viking epic the likes of which has not graced the silver screen in some time, the newly released trailer comes courtesy of Focus Features, and once again teases the brutal and bloody revenge carried out by Alexander Skarsgård’s wronged warrior prince. The Northman will hurl audiences into the cold and the grey, picking up at the turn of the 10th century in Iceland....

If you’re a fan of The Simpsons, then you’re familiar with the diehards referring to the first eight-to-10 seasons (some will say through season 12 or 13) of the show as its long past “golden era.” There are many reasons for this claim, and the numbers don’t lie. Episode ratings were at their highest during this era for a number of reasons, and we’re about to get into why. The Simpsons were one of the few animated adult sitcoms of their time, so there was little competition....

Jason Momoa will be playing himself on The Simpsons in an upcoming episode. The long-running show has released a first-look image at the Aquaman actor in cartoon form and he looks very much like he does in real-life, complete with his iconic arm tattoo. Hopefully nobody will body shame the cartoon version of Momoa like they have been doing with the actor’s current physique. Obviously, Momoa is in excellent shape, but some delusional folks on social media claim he has a “dad bod....

Throughout the course of film history, the concept of time travel has always been something that has fascinated filmmakers. The logic behind time travel varies depending on the filmmakers. Some use science, reason, and logic to explain the possibility of time travel, while others simply use the concept as a plot device to justify whatever outlandish the characters in the film get up to. It’s hard to tell if any of these explanations of time travel are actually accurate, considering that time traveling is a phenomenon yet to be explored by humanity....

Here is every character in The Wheel of Time, ranked by power. MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY...

The Good Ken Loach makes films that show just how big and varied his heart is. The Bad I wish that Cillian Murphy had been more involved with the bonus features on this DVD. The Wind That Shakes the Barley gives us a historical look at a problem that still faces the world: the English being an occupying force in Ireland. (I am not taking a side, I am merely stating what the Irish see as the problem....

Hollywood has conditioned its audiences to anticipate the fairy-tale finale, the little guy beating the big guy, or the boy getting the girl, hence the phrase “Hollywood ending,” a term of sentimental simplicity for the achievement of a narrative goal. While we all still, to some extent, harness this inner desire and yearning for a happy resolution, in the increasingly sadistic world in which we find ourselves, the demand for the picture-perfect conclusion has been swallowed up by the appetite for realism....

Witnessing talented directors lose their career momentum can be difficult for audiences, especially when such minds have crafted great cinema staples. Filmmakers in Hollywood can oftentimes be in constant rotation, with many introducing moviegoers to engrossing characters and flicks for a period of time before exiting the stage unceremoniously. Some of these visionaries are given little fanfare, and either shift their career trajectories to television or producing or simply fade from the spotlight altogether....

Time Warner has some big plans for 2007. In a story from The Hollywood Reporter, it seems the company is gearing up to offer consumers the ability to download movies from the internet, and then let said movies be burned to a DVD.

For the first time ever, Top Chef is shooting an entire season abroad. For its 20th season, the prime cooking competition is being brought to London to film its complete series in the British capital. Top Chef has journeyed around the world before, but never has it filmed all the episodes in its season in a different country. The change is significant for two reasons: first, it gives Top Chef an explicitly greater international focus for its challenges; and two, the NBCUniversal property up until now has been distinctly American and will film legally detached from its own nation....

We also saw Nora joining the LUDDS this season in an attempt to bring down the entire AI technology. However, she couldn’t get herself to do all that the LUDDS wanted in the end, but she managed to get the LUDDS on her side to bring down Freeyond before it was too late. Then there is Ingrid. The season premiere was a shocker when it was revealed that she hadn’t really uploaded herself after all....

MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY Additionally, the platform mentions Wednesday’s “rented intellectual property” status grants Netflix the rights to handle the series’ future distribution for a select amount of time: “Our understanding of how this works is that Netflix essentially owns the ‘option’ for the title for a fixed period of time, which means Netflix has ultimate control over the future of the series for the foreseeable future. Our intel suggests that if the show is not renewed for a season 2, Netflix hangs onto season 1 for ten years following its release (meaning it’ll stream until 2032)....

There was almost nothing Westworld could have done this week that could compare to the huge twist that took place last week. So they just hit the ground running and went with a “business as usual” approach in Trace Decay, and really laid the groundwork for the upcoming season finale. Well, business as usual by Westworld standards. Let’s dig in, shall we? Appropriately, the show started out with Dr. Robert (Anthony Hopkins) talking to his murdering robot buddy Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) about what he had done....
