Last year, “The Exorcist: Believer” directed by David Gordon Green (“Halloween Ends”) opened to pretty negative critical response. Not long after, Green left the planned reboot trilogy he signed on to do with Blumhouse. It has now been confirmed that Mike Flanagan (“The Fall of the House of Usher”) will write, direct, and produce the next installment of the iconic horror franchise.  Flanagan’s Take on “The Exorcist” Blumhouse describes Flanagan’s film as a “radical new take” on the franchise. It will NOT be a sequel to “Believer,” but it will take place in the same universe. Our guess is they…

There is no denying “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were 2023’s biggest films. They raked in $1.44 billion and $951 million respectively at the box office, giving rise to the Barbenheimer phenomenon. In a recent interview, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the films would have been “just as big” on streaming. This interview comes hot on the heels of film chairman Scott Stuber’s exit from the company in March. This has led to speculation that Netflix will be drastically changing its content strategy, with most assuming it will produce fewer movies to focus on higher-quality content. But Sarandos has been quick to…

There is no denying the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is on the rise, and probably to stay. While some fear if it becomes too advanced, it could replace humans. Others have a more immediate concern about websites like Google using unregulated (and unchecked) AI to answer user questions and searches. In a recent thread on X (formally Twitter), writer at Infinite Scroll Jeremiah Johnson complied some of Google AI’s wonky search results. The answers range from laughably incorrect to downright dangerous. (And absolutely disgusting, like this one about cockroaches and the human urethra.) The Silly When a user…

If you can’t stand the heat (and rampant profanity), get out of the kitchen. FX just released a new teaser trailer for the third season of “The Bear,” and it’s as chaotic as you’d expect. The Teaser In the teaser, we see Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) preparing for dinner service at their restaurant. All while Richie Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is working as the floor manager. Sydney rapidly orders the kitchen staff to “fire” dishes like Wagyu and cavatelli. Only to have Carmy dump them into the trash and demand they “refire!”. Of course, this…
