Gerald's Game by Stephen King was not exactly seen as a slam dunk when it was first being adapted by Mike Flanagan as a movie starring Carla Gugino.
There’s a mashup video that makes a strong case for why John Wick should be turned into a musical.
Not just one of the best Stephen King adaptations, but an all-time great thriller.
If you haven't heard of the Comedy Central series Corporate, that's totally understandable and you do not need to explain why to anyone — including the show itself. Corporate gets it. At least, that's the biggest takeaway from last night's Season 3 premiere, "Pickles 4 Breakfast," which, in 22 minutes, delivers not just one of the most savage satires of today's streaming culture, but brings with it a new layer of existential dread. In the episode, Hampton DeView, the streaming service operated by evil corporation Hampton DeVille, has hit a crisis point, driven by poorly received …
What do you get when you have a Black women-centered drama that takes you inside the lives of sex workers vying for their slice of the American dream, with the Mississippi Delta as the backdrop, and a couple of mysteries yet to be unlocked? You get Starz's Pussy Valley, aka P-Valley. Unlike any story that’s ever been told, P-Valley is not just about sex work and all of its challenges but it is also a story that addresses domestic violence, misogyny, homophobia, colorism, classism, racism, and the intricacies of mother-daughter relationships, all within the …
The level of detail-oriented thinking is off the charts
Major spoilers ahead for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII: Remake. The fan idea behind Final Fantasy VII: Remake was pretty simple: just give us the game we already love but with better graphics. That was easier said than done since the technical limitations at the time of the original's release back in 1997 didn't lend themselves to such an easy polish. There was no way to get those blocky figures looking human, and as gaming and graphics accelerated in the decades since, it wouldn't be enough to just update the base elements and call it …
I saw There Will Be Blood back when it opened in 2007 and it's a movie I still think about every few weeks or so. It's grown into one my all-time favorite films and I think Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) is one of the most memorable characters in cinema history. He is the perfect distillation of 20th century capitalism and its raw, transactional view of the world coupled with voracious greed. His one thread back to humanity is his son, HW Plainview (Dillon Freasier), and eventually he even cuts that so that he's left with …
Studiocanal has released the first trailer for Radioactive. Directed by Marjane Satrapi (The Voices), the film stars Rosamund Pike as brilliant scientist Marie Curie and follows her groundbreaking research on the discovery of radioactivity. However, she must endure not only societal stagnation but the health costs of handling radioactive material. Adam Chitwood caught the movie at TIFF last year and gave it a positive review. In his review, he wrote: Satrapi gracefully lets the audience in on the impact of Curie’s work by intermittently intercutting short scenes depicting applications of Curie’s discovery decades later. These range from the …

Avengers: Endgame references Back to the Future's time travel rules - but there's a more subtle Easter egg that pays homage to Back to the Future II.
Netflix, for whatever reason, is not a big believer in creating special features for their movies and TV shows. If you want to go deeper into a movie, that’s just too bad because for whatever reason (and I’m sure they have plenty of research and data to back up the decision), they don’t include extras on the service, which is a shame. Instead, if you want to go a little deeper on a movie like Marriage Story, you have to hop over to Netflix’s YouTube channel where you can find two new videos. While neither video …
