It’s easily said that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had a lot of pressure with not only being the final film in Disney’s sequel trilogy, but technically the final film in the entire Skywalker Saga. As such, the movie was incredibly divisive when it came to audience members and critics. While some fans found the movie to be as satisfying as it possible could have been given the circumstances, others believed there was a better potential finale than what they had received. As you likely already know, the film ends with Kylo Ren sacrificing his life and Rey decidedly…

One of the more timeless science fiction novels that continues to be adapted endlessly to this day is H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds.

The Super Bowl has always been a wonderful time for zany commercials, and companies always tend to throw out the biggest and most impossibly wild scenarios possible. Occasionally there are fun commercials released that are chock full of pop culture references, and Walmart came out with a stellar Superbowl commercial that does just that. What’s most interesting, however, are the characters they’ve chosen to use in order to demonstrate their “out of this world convenience.” As you can see down below, the main commercial is only 60 seconds long but it’s packed with a variety of special appearances from popular…

According to Full Circle Cinema, it appears that Taron Egerton, who you may recognize from the film Rocketman, is currently in talks to join the Little Shop of Horrors cast. While it hasn’t been specified which role he will be playing for sure, it’s most likely believed to…

One of the more interesting surprises coming soon from both Blumhouse and Sony happens to be an interpretation of the 1977 television series Fantasy Island. But although the classic TV series was a far cry from the horror genre, this new movie boasts an unique emphasis on horror. In fact, you can see plenty of horror instances in the final Fantasy Island trailer released down below.

They seem to be having a lot of faith in Disney’s new streaming service, and rightfully so with the success of original content like The Mandalorian. But while we still have awhile before the new Marvel shows begin to pop up on the service, it looks like there have still been some interesting new developments. In fact, it appears that the new Loki series could even be introducing the franchise’s first transgender character. There have been several reports so far that seem to…

It’s been a long time since a film based on The Crow was released, but that doesn’t mean Hollywood hasn’t been trying. There have been multiple attempts in the last few years to completely reboot or remake The Crow, something that fans of the original film and Brandon Lee don’t seem to be very interested in. After all, some consider Brandon Lee’s performance to be incredibly perfect – and the fact that he died while filming the movie just makes his role that much more difficult to touch. But as stated, that doesn’t mean Hollywood hasn’t been trying, and in…
