I love BTS stories like these. <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Kelly joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006 and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before moving over to other roles on the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing feature content on the site. </p><p><strong>What She's Into</strong>: Books, movies, TV— The very things that brought her to CinemaBlend as a reader and eventual writer and editor. She loves Harry Potter, books from a variety of genres (sci-fi, mystery, horror, YA, drama, romance -- anything with a great story and interesting characters.), watching Big Brother, frequently rewatching The Office, listening to Taylor Swift, and playing The Sims. </p><p><strong>What She's Excited About Right Now</strong>: Movie and TV adaptations of the books she loves, including the upcoming adaptation of Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl series, which is coming to Peacock, and Netflix's planned movie adaptations of Taylor Jenkins Reid's <em>The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo</em>.

Maybe it's not "itchy, tasty," but is that such a bad thing? <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Rich Knight is a content producer for CinemaBlend who has been off and on writing for the website since 2010. He used to cover video games and DVDs (Remember those?), but now mostly writes about whatever he’s interested in at the moment. He graduated from Rutgers University (Go, R.U.!) and has written for a number of publications, including Complex Magazine, XXL, Weightwatchers, etc. But he considers CinemaBlend his favorite website to write for, mostly because it’s so much fun. And also because they let him write about Godzilla. When he’s not writing for CB, he’s a novelist and a teacher.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What They're Into</strong>: Rich loves old movies, video games, and books. Lots and lots of books. His favorite movies of all time are Apocalypse Now, Big Trouble in Little China, and Adaptation, as well as so-bad-they're-good movies like Troll 2, Batman &amp; Robin, and Freddy Got Fingered. Bring on the awful! He’s also really big into anime, AEW, The Legend of Korra, and pretty much anything connected to the Breaking Bad universe. He’s a Nintendo fanboy for life, loves Deep Dish Pizza, and his Marvel vs. Capcom 2 team is Guile, Strider, and Wolverine. Come get some.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What They're Excited About Right Now</strong>: Going through John Carpenter’s entire filmography, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and the drama that is the AEW locker room.&nbsp;</p>

Andrew Garfield proves there's no ill will toward Tom Holland within the Spider-Man brotherhood.
Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 remake of Dario Aregento’s ballet-and-witches classic Suspiria is a total masterpiece and one of the most unfairly overlooked movies in recent memory. Beautiful, haunting, with much on its mind (perhaps too much), it was also a wild left turn for the director, who had just won critical acclaim and industry recognition for his tender coming-of-age drama Call Me By Your Name. But had Suspiria been more widely embraced (as it should have been), Guadagnino had plans for a follow-up (remember that Argento’s film was ultimately the first part of …
The world does not need another Batman movie. In the last decade alone, the Batman character has appeared in no less than five movies, and his origin story is approaching Spider-Man levels of “OMG we know already.” And yet, the recently released trailer for the upcoming reboot The Batman has me genuinely excited to see another story of this Caped Crusader, and it’s all to do with the genuinely refreshing approach that co-writer and director Matt Reeves appears to be taking with the material. To explain why The Batman looks so refreshing, it’s important to remember …
