The year is 2006. There is arguably no bigger movie-turned-television star than Kiefer Sutherland on Fox’s hit series “24.” Son of legendary actor Donald Sutherland, Kiefer made a name for himself in films like “Stand By Me,” “The Lost Boys,” and “Young Guns.” He’s in the process of making a documentary, “I Trust You Not To Kill Me,” about this band signed to his music label, Ironworks. Rocco DeLuca and the Burden is out on tour, with Sutherland as their manager. Manu Boyer directs. It actually isn’t a bad docu, especially if you’re a fan of the genre. But something…

Okay to be fair, this IS the “Uncharted” trailer that was prefacing “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in theaters. Kinda like how Marvel Studios just officially released that “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” teaser. But, check out trailer 2 for Sony Pictures’ upcoming live-action adaptation of popular video game franchise, “Uncharted.” Street-smart thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago. What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the…

Author Andy Weir is once again tackling hard-hitting science questions. No, it’s not a Mark Watney problem, nor Ryland Grace’s constant chaos. Instead, it’s an explanation about The Force, and the Sith Rule of Two. Weir is one of my favorite people to interview, and I have to tell you, this is EXACTLY the type of conversations he has, even when the tapes aren’t rolling. He posted his thoughts on The Force on his official Facebook page, and we just had to share it. “I’ve decided that the Force is conserved. And that the Dark Side and Light Side energies…

We are absolutely delighted to share with you the first teaser for the upcoming Marvel Studios film “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.” Sam Raimi directs this MCU sequel, which was originally going to be directed by Scott Derrickson. This is the teaser that was shown as a stinger at the end of the “Spider-Man: No Way Home” credits, which is kinda awesome considering Raimi’s history with ol web head. We FINALLY get to see Wanda (Elizabeth Olson) and Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) face to face after everything she did to the citizens of Westview in “WandaVision.” Baron Mordo (Chiwetel…

Due to the ongoing unmasking of author J. K. Rowling as a TERF, U.S. Quidditch and Major League Quidditch are officially changing the name of the sport. U.S. Quidditch Executive Director Mary Kimball issued a statement to Entertainment Weekly about the change: “Since the sports’ founding in 2005, quidditch has undergone so many transformations — the rules have changed; team names and jerseys are incredibly creative, fun and professional; and our events look more like a soccer tournament than anything else. I’m proud to stand with our community as we go through another big change, one that allows us to…

This news may only be interesting to those highly invested in the Disney brand. Which of course now includes Disney+. Bob Iger stepped down as CEO of the House of Mouse officially last year, amid some of the best successes of both the studio and theme parks. Under Iger, the brand grew, opened new areas of Disneyland to massive crowds, the acquisition of Fox, and successfully launched a streaming service. When Iger stepped down, Bob Chapek assumed the position. His tenure has…been rocky, at best. True, Chapek couldn’t have anticipated the ongoing Covid 19 issues, which have been responsible for…

Just when we thought the cream cheese shortage was the worst thing, here comes the holiday shortages. According to several international reports, 2021 saw one of the lowest yields of peppermint oil. Obviously a key ingredient in such treats as candy canes. Not ONLY that, but apparently eggnog is ALSO in crisis mode?! Apparently butterfat, an important part of the nog, is extremely hard to come by right now. Organic Valley, popular brand, is reporting supply chain issues for the shortage. Fans won’t find their brand’s nog at stores this year because of it. Other brands though aren’t having the…

Sometimes the entertainment world is a small one. As revealed recently, all around good guy Keanu Reeves has a very close connection to angel on earth Dolly Parton. And, it’s pretty unexpected. Turns out, Reeves’ mother, costume designer Patricia Taylor, made one of Parton’s garments. Specifically, her Playboy Bunny suit from the October 1978 cover of the gentleman’s magazine. Parton actually donned the suit again to celebrate her husband Carl Thomas Dean’s 79th birthday in July of 2021. And, as it turns out, she’s not the only person to have worn it. While visiting “The Matrix Resurrections” co-star Jada Pinkket…
