Look, we’re all for the average person owning swords. But when Home Depot starts selling two-handed claymores based on Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart,” we have to start asking some questions. Who thought this was a good idea? Why is this a regular item and not something seasonal from their impressive Halloween collection? “Reclaim your FREEDOM from the tyrannical English king with this authentic William Wallace sword. This sword is a replica of the sword William Wallace wielded in the movie Braveheart,” Home Depot’s website says. “The blade is made of polished stainless steel and is double edged. The hilt and pommel…

We’re….not really sure to do with the information we’re about to impart to you. Oscar winner Jodie Foster has a very surprising suggestion for a film that everyone needs to see. The first makes perfect sense, and we agree- “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Yes. Sure. Of course, a modern masterpiece of emotion, story, and performance. Absolutely everyone should see it. But the other thing? Really? “Well, Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Foster told Golden Globe nominee Greta Lee (“Past Lives”) in a piece for Interview. “Oh, and this is probably number one — the puppet movie Team America: World Police.”I’m sorry…WHAT?!…

Kurt Russell isn’t just an action film icon. Well, he IS, but he isn’t JUST that. Talk about a storied career, right? Some of his earliest work was as a contract player at Disney, and is one of the few working actors who actually knew and had a friendship with Walt Disney. Then there’s the string of 80s films we see as classics. “Escape from New York,” “The Thing,” “Big Trouble in Little China-” all made with director/writer/composer John Carpenter. From there, slightly more mainstream with hits like “Backdraft,” and perhaps the greatest modern Western of all time, “Tombstone.” We…

At LONG LAST, the Paramount+ project starring Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou is finally filming. If you’ll recall, Georgiou made her first appearance in “Star Trek: Discovery,” and quickly became a fan-favorite. The character eventually crossed over from the Mirror Mirror Universe, she now works for the top-secret Federation spy agency known as Section 31. This “Star Trek” project had originally been pitched as a spinoff tv series, but years of delays due to the global pandemic and then the Hollywood strikes prevented that. It was announced as a film last year. Today’s news is that cameras…

Are you ready for an all-new extremely Guy Ritchie film? One that stars Henry Cavill (“The Witcher”) and Alan Ritchson (“Reacher”)? Yeah, us too! Thankfully, we got our first trailer for “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”) this morning! Just take a look at the description and tell us it doesn’t sound like a great Ritchie film: Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events, THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE is an action-comedy that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a…

This just in-it would appear that “House of the Dragon” star Milly Alcock will indeed be taking on the role of Kara Zor-El, aka, Supergirl. The feature film which will reportedly be called “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,” and will be written by Ana Nogueira. At the time of the announcement from DC Studios, it was described by James Gunn thusly:“In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone…

Yes, we’re pretty excited for the official release of Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune Part Two.” Perhaps you’ve noticed what big fans of the Frank Herbert-created “Dune” universe we are, which is why anytime there’s a new image or clip, we HAVE to tell you about it.Total Film has released three new exclusive images. And one features a pretty important moment we cannot wait to see take place in the film. MAY THY KNIFE CHIP AND SHATTER *sigh* Still no Alia. Almost had a heart attack seeing the seated woman, but it’s just Lady Jessica. “Dune Part Two” features returning “Dune” stars Timothée…

With our headline, we ask a pretty big question. But, we kind of think it’s a relevant one? A trailer is supposed to TEASE audiences with what’s to come. Get them excited to get tickets and sit in a theater to experience 2 hours (more or less) of entertainment and art put together by a talented team. Every so often, a trailer gives away too much of the meat of the story, spoiling and ruining the experience of watching a film spill its secrets in its own good time.That brings us to today’s brand new “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” trailer. We…

We are SO VERY HAPPY to share the news that Duncan Jones’ long gestating “Rogue Trooper” project, based on the 2000 AD comics, is finally coming together. As announced today, the project will be animated using Unreal Engine 5, and we know who will star in the film.  “2000 AD offers a very different flavor of comic action: Political and brutal at times, but always with a Pythonesque twinkle in the eye,” Jones (“Moon,” “Warcraft”), who directed and wrote the film, said. “‘Dredd’ (2012) was a taste of what 2000 AD has to offer and now we get to show…

If there’s one actor who’s gotten his fair share of fandom ire for a choice his character made, it’s Billy Dee Williams for Lando Calrissian’s choices on Bespin. We’re speaking of course of the memorable scenes in “Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back” where Calrissian, Baron Administrator of Cloud City, seemingly betrays his old friend, Han Solo (Harrison Ford). The ol smoothy Lando gives up Han, Leia, and Chewie to the Empire, to save his mining colony from whatever fate Darth Vader and co had in mind. Which of course apparently has not gone over well with generations…
