During World War 2, the Nazi party stole countless pieces of priceless artwork to sell for profit and destroy/mock. Among these missing works is the 18th-century portrait, “Portrait of a Lady” by Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi. It’s believed that the work has now been found in a photo from an Argentinian real estate listing. The ill-gotten Italian baroque piece was possibly spotted hanging over a sofa in a listing for a coastal residence. “Portrait of a Lady” The painting originally belonged to a prominent Dutch-Jewish art dealer named Jacques Goudstikker. Over 1,100 works in his collection were taken by the Nazis…

It seems like any video game franchise that sticks around long enough gets adapted into a movie or tv show. Activision’s “Call of Duty” games will soon be no exception. The Microsoft-owned publisher is currently working with Paramount Skydance to develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on the first-person shooter.  A tall order considering, since the first game was launched in 2003, the universe now consists of 30 mainline games. “Call of Duty” It is also being reported this deal may expand to include more movies and tv series. However, the focus right now is developing the…

Cereal maker Post is offering customers in select locations a unique way to buy some of their products. From September 8th through the 17th, select Walmart stores will let people buy Fruity Pebbles (or any Post) cereal with rocks.

And Post is really committing to the bit by offering this deal at four specific Walmarts, 75% of which have the word “rock” in their name. The one exception is…

In 2021, Sony made what, at the time, seemed like a smart business decision and sold the rights to “KPop Demon Hunters” to Netflix. The streamer recently released an animated film based on the property, which quickly turned into a cultural phenomenon. Now Sony and Netflix are in talks about how to approach a sequel.  Between the success of the sing-along version, its soundtrack setting a new Billboard Hot 100 record, and becoming the most-watched English-language film of all time on Netflix, no one is shocked about a sequel. Sony sold the film since it’s a big-budget animated title for…

It’s been almost thirteen years since “Silent Hill” was on the silver screen. Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting just released the first trailer for the franchise’s third live-action film, “Return to Silent Hill.” Like the previous entries, this will be based on Konami’s beloved horror video game franchise of the same name. The new 41-second-long trailer mostly showcases James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine) as he enters the town of Silent Hill. We also see series staple Mary Crane (Hannah Emily Anderson) before a montage of dark corridors and a burning building. All while the characters desperately try to escape the killer, Pyramid…

In 2016, Ruth Ware published the thriller novel “The Woman in Cabin 10.” Now Netflix is adapting the story into a movie starring Keira Knightley as Lo Blacklock, a woman being gaslit into believing she didn’t see what she most certainly did see. “I am not imagining this,” Lo pleads in the brand-new trailer for “The Woman in Cabin 10.” The film and novel center around Lo, a journalist assigned to cover the story of a luxury superyacht’s first voyage. It’s all smooth sailing until Lo sees a woman fall to her death, but for some reason, no one believes…

The soundtrack to “KPop Demon Hunters” has just set a brand new record for the Billboard Hot 100. Netflix’s runaway hit is the first soundtrack to have four songs in the top 10 simultaneously! “Golden” takes the number one spot, along with “Your Idol” sitting at number four, both for the second week in a row. The track “Soda Pop” moved from number 10 to number 5 this week. Newcomer “How it’s Done” climbed its way from the fourteenth spot to the tenth for the first time, setting the record. Only four movie soundtracks have ever come close to this…

In 2000, William Tony Hooper, son of the late horror icon Tobe Hooper, wrote and directed “All American Massacre.” The project was going to be a spin-off of the legendary “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise that his father created. And despite fan demand and being fully completed, it has never had a public screening.  Last week, VHS copies of an unedited workprint turned up on eBay, and quickly sold for $8,500. “All American Massacre” “All American Massacre” revolves around Chop Top (Bill Mosley, pictured above in the center) after he has been incarcerated for years in solitary confinement at a Texas…

In 2016, “Hell House LLC” was released via streaming where it soon gained the attention of found footage horror fans. 10 years later and the franchise’s fifth and final installment, “Hell House LLC: Lineage” just hit theaters. Unfortunately it seems that the series is leaving on a strange and sour note.  Some reports say viewers were walking out of early screenings for “Lineage.” The reviews coming in were apparently so bad that producer and President of Terror Films Releasing, Joe Dain, took to the official “Hell House LLC” Facebook, asking fans to keep bad reviews off Rotten Tomatoes. Despite it…
