Turning Red Director Says Girls Turn Into Giant Red Hormonal Creatures Just Like Boys

From first-time director Domee Shi, who previously worked as an animator and storyboard artist on films like Inside Out and Toy Story 4, Pixar’s Turning Red follows 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian Meilin “Mei” Lee, voiced by Rosalie Chiang, as she wakes up one morning to discover whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she turns into a large red panda because of a secret family quirk. Although the experience would be an inconvenience to any teenager—at least any teen who isn’t furry, which is a perfectly healthy way to deal with stress—but Mei is blessed with an overprotective mother, Ming, played by Sandra Oh....

Violent Night Review David Harbour Delivers Unique Brand Of Santa

There’s no denying that the idea behind Universal’s Violent Night is clever. Led by a talented cast including Stranger Things star David Harbour as Santa Claus, Beverly D’Angelo (returning to the holiday genre following National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation), and John Leguizamo (the voice of Encanto’s Bruno), the major studio’s new holiday-themed action-comedy is certainly worth seeing in theaters — versus at home on your laptop. It was entertaining enough just hearing the audience react to adult-only moments like the film’s R-rated version of a Home Alone booby-trap sequence, and you can always rely on D’Angelo for zingers — her foul-mouthed matriarchal character echoes her Babs persona from HBO’s Entourage....

Why Loki Fans Are Excited To See Mobius Finally Get His Jet Ski In Season 2

Loki season 2 is likely the most anticipated MCU show on Disney+. The first season was so popular that it may have helped shape the coming MCU phases. Tom Hiddleston is naturally amazing as Loki, keeping the villain-turned-hero in the MCU for the foreseeable future. But the protagonist’s excellent performance was almost subject to the show-stealing awesomeness of Owen Wilson in his role as Mobius. As fans of the show will remember, Mobius was the empathetic but intelligent detective that played a sort of mentor role for Loki in the series....

To all the standard criteria of what makes a movie great (directing, writing, acting, entertainment), The Fountain is great. But it also brings a level of inventiveness and purpose rarely seen in movies. Everything on screen (or close to it) has an expertly designed meaning: from which way the camera is facing to subtle shapes hidden in the composition and beyond.

The Walking Dead Season 10 Is The Highest Rated Season Ever

Let it be known right here off the bat that it has been years since I could be described as a fan of AMC’s ongoing adaptation of creator Robert Kirkman’s zombie apocalypse comic book saga The Walking Dead. In fact, I checked out after the powers that be behind the scenes gave director Frank Darabont the boot after season 2. But all the same, maybe it’s time for even me to give the series another go as today we’ve learned that the current tenth season is the best-reviewed season of the series over on Rotten Tomatoes....
