David Cronenberg’s work has been synonymous with the body horror genre for decades. Cinephiles and even typical moviegoers know the director/writer/sometimes actor. You know what you’re getting with one of his movies, and sometimes you should bring a barf bag if you have a weak stomach. Finally, Brandon Cronenberg—David’s son—has begun carving his place in cinema. After his 2012 film, Antiviral and 2020’s Possessor, he’s back with Infinity Pool, and the movie states that Brandon is here and has some twisted shit to share. Infinity Pool stars Alexander Skarsgård (James Foster), Mia Goth (Gabi), Cleopatra Coleman (Em Foster), and Jalil…

Talk about a wild rollercoaster over at the studio behind Rick and Morty. There have been controversies following the show’s creator Justin Roiland for the past few weeks now. Roiland, who voices several characters on the show, has garnered a lot of success through the show on Adult Swim. He and co-creator Dan Harmon—the mind behind Community—have received critical acclaim and several awards throughout the years because of their show. Now, however, it looks like Roiland will no longer be a part of the show that put his name on the map. Adult Swim has officially ousted Roiland from the…

It’s 2023, and with every awards season—more importantly, The Oscars—comes the Razzies. The annual event showcases the worse in cinema, whether streaming or in theaters, and usually causes controversy. Last year, the Razzie Awards created a category aimed explicitly toward Bruce Willis’s acting in several direct-to-DVD or streaming movies. The organization decided to do something right for once, walked back that plan, and got rid of the category altogether. However, the Razzies continue. This year will mark the 43rd Annual Razzie Awards, and the nominations were announced on Monday. Some nominees include projects such as Netflix’s Blonde, Bryce Dallas Howard…

Writer, producer, and sometimes actor Kenya Barris has been one of the focal points in current Black entertainment and entertainment in general. Barris has used his talent as a writer and producer on hit shows like the Black-ish franchise and BlackAF to make a statement on African-American culture and how other cultures view this group. Many of the films he’s worked on continue to share the same sentiment with movies like Barbershop: The Next Cut and Coming 2 America. However, his directorial debut, You People, fails to bring anything new to the table  and causes the comedy to land with…

If you’re a 90s kid—and I mean before 1999—then you’re aware of the Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg supernatural romantic film Ghost. The movie did gangbusters when released and even garnered an Oscar for Goldberg for Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay for Bruce Joel Rubin. The cultural relevance has been felt on the internet with many memes that circle the famous intimate pottery scene from the movie. It’s the kind of Hollywood film that doesn’t deserve a remake, but Channing Tatum is changing that notion. It’s been revealed that Tatum’s production company, Free Association, has bought the…

Whatever your opinion is on Marvel Studios’ Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4, it came, it went, and it geared up with what will be happening in Phase 5. Marvel Studios was filled with several movie and television projects to varying degrees of success. The last released in theaters movie was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, followed by the streaming release of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special. It looks like Marvel’s Official India account on Twitter gives us a glimpse of what to expect for MCU Phase 5. The Twitter account dropped a video that showcased several projects from…

Very few mainstream horror movies in today’s cinema world tend to go balls-to-the-wall crazy. However, when they do, the director and writer don’t hold back on the WTF moments and might simultaneously create a new horror franchise. 2021’s Malignant caught everyone by surprise. The James Wan-directed and Akela Cooper-written movie had a successful run by word of mouth and gave Cooper another shot to share her twisted mind with audiences. Fortunately for all of us, the writer who provided plenty of holy shit moments with Malignant is back with her newest film, M3GAN. M3GAN, directed by Gerard Johnstone and written…

James Gunn announced earlier this week that DC Studios would move on from Henry Cavill and his iteration of Clark Kent/Superman. Many are guessing who will survive the purge of the Synderverse with reports of Jason Momoa being courted as Lobo and Patty Jenkins leaving Wonder Woman 3. However, some news dropped last night from Gunn himself on holding onto Ben Affleck – but not in the way you might think. There have been multiple reports and speculation of what is to come from James Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran’s reign at the newly formed DC Studios. Suggestions exist that…

James Cameron has been bringing all the attention in the cinema world to Avatar 2: The Way of Water. The film will most likely light the box office on fire this weekend as fans of the first movie have been waiting for 13 years. However, the director keeps himself busy with order projects that don’t necessarily require directing touch. That’s why we’re getting word that Cameron still plans to make a sequel to Alita: Battle Angel. Cameron and fellow director Robert Rodriguez recently sat down for Variety’s Director on Director video series. Rodriguez interviewed Cameron about his Avatar sequel and…

It’s been thirteen years since we were introduced to the world of Pandora through James Cameron’s Avatar. The 2009 movie pushed the limitations of filmmaking and 3D and revitalized the long-dead gimmick. As a result, Avatar held the top spot for the world’s most-grossing film with an impressive 2.923 billion dollars for a while until Avengers: Endgame laid claim to the title. After that, however, the cultural impact of the Avatar pushed it back to the top spot, where it remains to this day. I bring up that bit of history because many wondered if Cameron could catch lighting in…
