Artist and animator Patrick Schoenmaker did something wonderful. Back in 2016, he uploaded an incredible video of something we’d love to see get made. An animated version of an “Indiana Jones” adventure! Remember how excited we were to tell you the entirety of “The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones” series was added to Disney+? Imagine that, but, entirely animated, with aspects of the 5 feature films as well. “Indiana Jones must have been my first true movie hero ever since I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark on a VCR way back when. Yes, some other heroes came and went,…

We were hoping against hope that the upcoming “Madame Web” movie was going to be good. Or at the very least, watchable. Every time we see ‘official’ artwork from the film, we have to reset our expectations. The first look at star Dakota Johnson suited up came from a bottle of OceanSpray cranberry juice, and it….looks bad. The color and design is interesting, right? It’s fine, right? And yes, obviously this is just packaging and not how she’ll actually look on screen, right? We hate to say the official poster looks like someone’s bad photoshop project, but, that’s exactly how…

We have to take a minute to appreciate the varied projects Adam Sandler has been doing the last few years. He’s really come a long way from his days on “Saturday Night Live,” and continues to subvert expectations of his abilities in drama. This next film we’ll be seeing him is another departure, this time, to outer space. “Spaceman” is directed by Johan Renck, who’s work on such series as “The Walking Dead,” “Breaking Bad,” and “Chernobyl” absolutely tell you what kind of project this is going to be. It’s based on the novel based on the novel “Spaceman of…

Guests at theme parks have been getting worse and worse behavior-wise. It seems like once a week, there’s a story of someone behaving badly at the happiest place on earth. Remember that dude from last year who literally stripped naked and went walking through It’s A Small World at Disneyland? Or the various fist fights that seem to break out in Toon Town for no reason?Well, make way for the shortest offender (so far)- The Kid Who Punched a Stormtrooper while at Florida’s Walt Disney World. And not only did this….kid….shove a Stormtrooper, he goes BACK IN for the punch.…

Anytime Guy Ritchie has a new project, we’re excited. His style and presentation is always slick and visually interesting (despite how we feel about “Aladdin” that is). The next thing he’s got for us is a series adaptation of his 2019 film, “The Gentlemen.” And thanks to streamer home Netflix, we’ve got our first look at what it’s gonna be like. Theo James (“The White Lotus”) stars as Eddie Horniman, The Duke of Halstead, who finds himself embroiled in criminality after inheriting his father’s estate. Kaya Scodelario plays Susie Glass, Bobby’s effortlessly stylish and steely daughter who runs the day-to-day…

SHAI HULUD! To celebrate the 40th anniversary of David Lynch’s BRILLIANT 1984 “Dune,” we’re getting a theatrical re-release! We are so very excited to get to experience this in theaters right before “Dune Part Two” from Denis Villeneuve hits in March. You’ll have two different days to catch this incredible film thanks to Fathom Events. From the run time listed, this is not the longer cut of the film. Clocking in at 2 hours 17 minutes, be prepared to experience Lynch’s vision of Frank Herbert’s seminal work of science fiction. As described by Fathom Events: The long-awaited film version of…

Another week has ended, and with the weekend comes a round up of entertainment rumors. Sure, these have been ‘reported’ ad nauseam by the usual suspects. And some are probably actually true. But sources matter, and when one of them is…Puck News…you get the idea. “Top Gun 3” is in Development- Likely The first on the list is a whopper. After news broke of a very unorthodox deal between Tom Cruise and Warner Bros. Pictures, this story started popping up thanks to the aforementioned Puck News. We will not be linking to them, because they….suck. The story as it stands,…

Just in case you forgot- yes, we are still getting another season of “The Witcher” on Netflix. True, the departure of star Henry Cavill is still fresh in some fan’s minds. With Liam Hemsworth taking over in the role of Geralt of Rivia, things are definitely changing for the series. But it’s not all bad news, as we have a pretty big casting update to share! The great Laurence Fishburne has joined “The Witcher” as fan-favorite character Regis the barber surgeon! But also spoiler, that’s not the character’s ONLY name. (Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy.) Geralt first meets Regis roughly 5…

With several delays and release date changes, we are finally getting the next chapter in the “Ghostbusters” franchise. This year, even! To celebrate “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” Empire Magazine has two very special covers for their next issue. They glow in the dark! So, obviously, one of the covers has the new generations of ‘Busters- Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd. But it’s the OTHER one that has us very excited. It’s the old team! Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Ernie Hudson, and the great Annie Potts! Also, new bonus photo- “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” hits theaters March 22nd, 2023.…

Okay, we’re sad this one Viking role won’t be played by his voice performer in the upcoming live-action adaptation of “How to Train Your Dragon.” Gobber, the blacksmith who created Hiccup’s prosthetic leg (among other things) was voiced in the original films by our favorite former late night host, Craig Ferguson. Sadly, Craig will not be joining the live-action flick like Gerard Butler is, but we know who will be playing the character. Nick Frost, co-star of the famed Cornetto Trilogy, will play Gobber the Belch, trusted friend and advisor to Stoick the Vast (Butler), leader of the Vikings of…
