The latest comeback of The Smurfs is going to be a little longer in coming, thanks to another blue animated character stealing the planned release date of their next as-yet-untitled musical movie. Paramount Studios announced yesterday that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will spin into theaters on December 20, 2024, to go head to head with the blue-skinned characters of Avatar 3, and this means that the Smurfs will have to now wait until February 2025 for their chance to shine again....

Heads up, zombie fans because we’ve got a brand new trailer for The Walking Dead Spin-Off. The trailer was debuted during a panel at New York Comic Con and AMC was kind enough to release it online for the rest of us to watch as well. Interestingly, despite giving us a good chunk of footage from the third series in this universe, the network still hasn’t revealed a title. What we do have is a much better sense of what this show is going to be, and expect to see something markedly different than what’s come before....

Last year the entertainment industry was hit hard by the pandemic as many highly anticipated films slated for release in 2020 had to be delayed well into 2021 or, worse, canceled entirely. As such, moviegoers were excited to come out in droves for the eventual 2021 releases. In fact, the year 2021 saw an 81.4% increase in worldwide box office statistics compared to that of last year. The postponements seem to make them even more coveted....

In 2020, so many movies were indefinitely delayed. Whether in production or for the release, a lot of good films didn’t make it to streaming on Netflix, Hulu, or whichever streaming platform randomly created. But in 2021, that changed. So many excellent movies were released this past year, making the competition stiff for awards season. But the topics tackled are more diverse than ever: sexuality, gender identity, language, and history have all made their mark in contemporary cinema....

The show ran for eight seasons, from 2000 to 2008, and quickly proved Ross was a talent that was here to stay....

Victoria’s Secret was the main lingerie store that everyone went to. No other lingerie company could compete with them. Since 1995, there has even been a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show that would see all the top models in the world participate, and the top musicians perform along with A-list celebrities in attendance. If you were a model booked for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and part of the Victoria’s Secret campaign, you know you made it....

We are seeing some pretty a-typical Santa Claus stories coming out of Hollywood these past few years. Though The Christmas Chronicles 2 certainly tried its best, it couldn’t exactly make us forget completely about a sunglass-wearing, sarcasm bomb-dropping, Dodge Challenger-driving Santa Claus singing hard rock versions of Christmas carols with the other detainees in jail. There has been a recent uptick in these kinds of films that show traditionally innocent and for-kids figures stepping into the roles of grisly, tattooed, swearing, and drunken action heroes....

Now, the second episode of the season has arrived and it proves there’s a lot more going on in this show than originally thought, which was a great surprise. Favreau was able to catch nearly everybody off-guard when the first episode ended....

The sixth television series to come from the MCU’s success as a film franchise, Moon Knight, will follow the origin and adventures of its titular character, played by Oscar Isaac. While this (anti)hero may be lesser known than the unmistakable likeness of Spider-Man or Captain America, he is certainly no less interesting and has a rich history for show runners to fall back on. Now, with the latest trailer released during this year’s Super Bowl, we have more to entice us before Moon Knight begins streaming on March 30th....

Anime has been seeping into western culture for some time now, ranging from a specific reference here and there to full-blown homages across television, movies, and games. But at one point in time, it was a fringe interest for a niche audience, primarily spread through the exchange of VHS tapes and internet discussion boards. Anime in the west wouldn’t be where it is now without this early interest, and even now, there’s a sizable amount of nostalgia for this bygone era of scratchy film artifacts and crude voice dubs....

Suddenly, almost before you know it, you’re on your feet!...
