For quite a while now, Vin Diesel has been hyping up his return as Riddick in a possible third Pitch Black sequel, but the movie seems to have not really progressed in the last eight years since it was first mentioned. However, with the Fast and Furious movies heading toward their conclusion in the next couple of years, the actor is possibly looking for his next big franchise to focus on, and that could mean Riddick 4: Furya will now move forward at Universal....

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past month, you’ve undoubtedly at least heard of Netflix’s powerhouse show, Squid Game. Having taken the country by storm, Squid Game has become one of Netflix’s biggest series hits to date. And now, some fans of the show got to participate in some of the show’s activities, although in a far less, shall we say, deadly fashion. In an effort to celebrate the massive popularity of its hit show, as well as the Halloween season, Netflix set up a Squid Game area in Los Angeles....

Tim Burton’s Wednesday continues to captivate audiences and accrue a cult-like following with the show returning to its number-one spot five weeks after its debut. Much of the success and critical acclaim for the reimagining of this classic tale goes to the creators and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar who breathed new life into the “crazy and kooky” supernatural comedy-horror starring Jenny Ortega as the titular character. The pair melded new lore into the well-known Charles Addams characters, creating a coming-of-age story centering the sardonic Addams family teen, Wednesday....

Actress and director Bryce Dallas Howard gets Star Wars. She really gets it in a way we haven’t seen, aside from Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, since George Lucas himself. Howard brings a fierce but affectionate, somber yet intimate realism to the Star Wars universe with her critical directorial achievements in two original The Mandalorian episodes and one The Book of Boba Fett episode. She brings a Star Wars aficionados’ and a woman’s much-needed perspective to the universe....

The ’90s was an incredible decade for animated movies. It was also Disney’s best decade for animated films, and so there was a lot to compete with. So it’s definitely saying something that a small movie from an underdog studio could become a childhood touchstone for millennials the way that FernGully: The Last Rainforest did. Just about every kid in the 90s either owned the VHS of this movie, or had watched it at a friend’s house....

Adam F. Goldberg, executive producer and creator of The Goldbergs, is living out a life-long dream of writing an homage to the Highlander movie, and producing the only sitcom episode that’s ever been made about the movie. His tribute will air on The Goldbergs on Wednesday, February 20 on ABC at 8 p.m. Highlander is a 1986 British-American fantasy action-adventure film chronicling the climax of an ages-old battle among immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines....

Keanu Reeves has offered further insight into the intriguing direction of upcoming sci-fi sequel, The Matrix Resurrections, describing the movie as the “inverse” of the original trilogy. The Matrix Resurrections will see Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reunite and reprise their respective roles of Neo and Trinity, with the two characters undergoing some serious changes this time around. In a conversation with Uproxx, Keanu Reeves seems to suggest that Neo and Trinity will swap places in The Matrix Resurrections....

The Good There is an artistry afoot here that, like the director’s other films, takes awhile to be appreciated. The Bad It will never happen but a commentary track from Terrence Malick would have been great. The New World is an interesting movie because it is is one of the few films, in today’s marketplace, that was actually pulled from the theater and recut while it was in active distribution. While I had always thought that the film’s director, Terrence Malick, was a distant cousin of Stanley Kubrick, this event seemed almost eery in how much it recalled the late director....

The Good At about this point in the show, it was reaching a level of outrageousness that could have ensured that it became a TV classic. The Bad Did it really have to end? The O.C.: The Complete Fourth Season brings this show to a bittersweet end. Call it getting older, nostalgia for times gone by but this show ending seems to signal the end of a lot of things for this reviewer, but we’ll get into that later....

I walked out of Hot Rod hating every awful minute of it. By the time I got home, I decided that I actually did like it, and I wanted to see it again. Hung-Huh? Yeah, it’s that kind of movie. It takes the Bunuelian road of obscure subtext, tacks on a little Dali, slathers it with a heaping pile of stunts culled from the Merrie Melodies archives, and then sticks it all into a blender once owned by Adam Sandler when he was still going to college....

Snowstorms and a tsunami warning weren’t enough to keep The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 down. In the past month, filming on this climactic series-ending sequel has been placed on hold for intense weather conditions and the threat of two-story waves. But the cast and crew will be back the first week of April to shoot the pivotal wedding scenes between Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson)....

Just renewed for another round at HBO, Mike White’s The White Lotus seems to have outdone itself with its sophomore season. The series, which revolves around a luxurious hotel resort and its myriad wealthy guests, is a subtle and scathing satire on topics such as class, gender, and race relations throughout America. With that being said, besides its immaculately star-studded cast, one thing that the series has become known for is its not-so-likable characters....

Fans of The Witcher had two long years to wait between the finale of its premiere season and the debut of season 2, and it seems that absence does make the heart grow fonder as over 2 billion minutes of the show were watched in the first week of the new episodes’ arrival. A new report by Variety detailed how The Witcher’s second run of eight episodes in December saw the show build up over 2....

In 1984, horror-master Wes Craven famously introduced the world to Freddy Krueger, one of horror’s most frightening, conniving villains, and the central antagonist in the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise. Freddy Krueger is the spirit of a serial killer who haunts his unsuspecting victims in their dreams and ultimately kills them. In doing so, these victims simultaneously die in the real world. Known for his terrifying appearance, Freddy notably dons a gloved hand with sharp razors latched on, a torn red-and-green striped sweater, and his trademark fedora....
