CinemaBlend saw around 30 minutes of Disney's latest musical Wish, and Chris Pine's villain character stole the show.
Universal Orlando Resort's Mardi Gras Celebration Looks Better Than Ever.
By now, you may be passingly familiar with the guardianship grift in our country. Last Week Tonight even did an episode on how disturbingly easy it is for a stranger to gain control and exploit the life of a senior citizen for personal financial gain. J Blakeson takes this conceit and use it for his vicious, brutal new movie I Care a Lot, expanding the concept to show America as one big scam where the only active players are the predators. It’s a pointedly bleak starting point, but Blakeson and his cast handle the concept with a cool, detached …
Food is culture. That’s kind of the central premise of the Netflix series Ugly Delicious, which is part food show, part travelogue, and part documentary. The series’ eight-episode first season delved deep into foods like pizza, barbecue, and tacos as host/executive producer/world-renowned chef David Chang investigated what makes a pizza a pizza, or what technically constitutes a taco. But quickly, the show hit upon the idea of charting culture through food—how does a traditional pizza made in Naples become a Domino’s pizza? What does pizza mean to the people of Italy vs. the …
Netflix has released the first Ugly Delicious Season 2 trailer, offering a first look at the new season of the tremendous documentary series. The show hails from James Beard Award-winning chef David Chang and Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville (Won’t You Be My Neighbor?) and finds Chang and his chef friends exploring how specific foods change from culture to culture. The first season explored foods like pizza, tacos, and Thanksgiving dinner, and it looks as though Season 2 is expanding its horizons a bit. In this trailer we see a peek at an episode centered around steak, one …
It is a long-touted maxim, passed down through generations, that women love bad boys. Nice guys finished last. Attraction and repulsion, desire and disgust, fear and eroticism -- the parallel pleasures of toxic romance live on both sides of a razor's edge, and few screen love stories have ever captured the can't-turn-away-from-the-wreckage thrall of seductive obsession like You. The Lifetime series turned Netflix sensation surprised when it landed on the streaming service after meeting middling success on basic cable and absolutely blew up on streaming, proving its depraved delights were a perfect match …
Whether you're looking for a heartwarming family affair or a distraction from relative reunions, there's a movie for you.
If you're wondering how the creative minds behind Green Eggs & Ham took the minimal content of Dr. Seuss' classic children's story and adapted it into 13 episodes (and hopefully more), my best advice is to just dive into the new Netflix show. You'll recognize the characters, the colors, even the brush strokes, but this story is an original one, a roadtrip adventure of sorts that takes the conflicting personalities of Sam I Am and Guy Am I on a journey of discovery. That's the heart of the piece, but the overall series comes with many …
Vile, offensive, and shocking, the Italian cannibal boom of the 70s and 80s grew from ground tilled by the Mondo film--documentary features purported to show real violence and strange rituals from cultures around the world. The cannibal film took this desire to see "real" violence and applied it to a narrative structure, resulting in a subgenre more reviled than any other with grand Guignol-style simulated gore and actual animal violence.
The Hammonds are back, baby, and per usual, they're up to their necks in blood, body parts, and pesky law enforcement. Netflix's uproarious zombie comedy Santa Clarita Diet returns for its third season in fine form, leaning into its identity as a next-level weirdo while finding new layers to excavate in the endearing marriage between Shiela (Drew Barrymore) and Joel (Timothy Olyphant). Santa Clarita Diet has always been a strange and unpredictable show, a potent combination of creator Victor Fresco's signature carnal-meets-cerebral sense of humor, his cast's phenomenal delivery, and some of the …
