The Barbenheimer Phenomenon Was Real, and Historic
An iconic piece of Americana and the philosophical-minded father of the atom bomb have got to be the two most unlikely partners in cinematic history of all time, but here we are—and it’s glorious. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer—now collectively known as Barbenheimer—joined together to bring in the fourth-largest weekend at the box office in movie history.
Gerwig made history with the largest opening weekend for a female director ever,
A Few of Norm Macdonald’s Funniest “SNL” Moments
By now you’ve likely heard that Norm Macdonald has passed away at the age of 61 after a private battle with cancer for the past nine years. Macdonald was arguably the king of the deadpan delivery, an iconic comedian who always went his own way, even when that way alienated some audience members or involved making another late night show guest squirm. As has been said a lot since the news broke of his passing,
Humor, Horror, and Unpredictable Twists: Us Lives Up to the Hype
Us is unlike anything you’ve ever felt before, on every level. It would seem foolish to expect any film to live up to the hype of that gloriously ambiguous trailer – released this past Christmas – much less the fanfare that comes with a long-queuing SXSW opening night premiere. I joined the line just before 1 pm in the afternoon, a full five and a half hours before the film was set to begin.

Octavia Spencer Goes off the Deep End in MA Trailer
It is said there is nothing easier than taking candy from a baby. If you watch the new MA trailer, however, you’ll find there is nothing easier than giving teenagers booze. That is what makes them easy targets for a diabolic plot to lure them in and torture them.

First Trailer for Danny Boyle’s Yesterday Re-Writes Beatles History
I have had this thought experiment so many times and now wish I had put pen to paper. What if you were the only person in the world who knew the greatest songs ever written? Would it matter if you didn’t actually write them?
The latest from director Danny Boyle appears to be a refreshing and charming new love story about becoming the biggest star in the world via someone else’s creativity. We all wish we were John,
The New Us Trailer Is Supremely Unnerving
The latest Us trailer will have you seeing sinister intent in every coincidence for the rest of our day. A series of unsettling images that seem a little too perfect and a lot too creepy are the next window we have into the world of Jordan Peele’s upcoming thriller.
When things start to unfold rather conveniently on a family beach vacation, Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) begins to suspect things may be about to go wrong.

Halloween Channels Another Famous Slasher in Deleted Scene
The new Halloween is a modern horror masterpiece, but not every scene made the cut. The home video release features the most extended or deleted scenes that I’ve seen in a long time. There are seven pieces of footage that got slashed from the final release but will be included as extras on Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital.
Universal went ahead and released the first deleted scene on the list,

Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) brazenly challenges Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson), the Beast (James McAvoy), and David Dunn (Bruce Willis) to prove to her that humans with powers exist. They’re probably not the best test subjects if you value your life in any way. A new teaser for Glass shows the diabolic duo of Glass and Beast unleashing on the world.
The climax of Split was uncovering the existence of the Beast within Kevin Crumb’s many personalities.
How the Strodes Honored the Past and Opened the Future of Halloween
The moment after seeing Halloween at TIFF, I was immediately squirming to talk about it with everyone everywhere. The time has finally come to do just that as virtually everyone and their babysitter has now seen the much-anticipated sequel. Halloween cut down the competition with a $33.3 million an opening day in October and raking in $77.5 million in the first weekend. Jamie Lee Curtis shattered dusty records paving the way for other women,
How the Halloween Makeup Designers Perfectly Recreated Michael’s Mask
As we busy ourselves preparing our costumes for Halloween this year, there is one mask that embodies the holiday unlike any other. Michael Myers’ haunting gaze is timeless and can strike chilling fear in all who see it. That empty white stare was immediately iconic with the release of John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece. There is so much about the new Halloween that gets this story right, but that mask is perhaps the most satisfying.
Michael Sends a Terrifying Message in New Halloween Clip
Halloween is still 16 days away, but Halloween is a mere four.

NYCC: A New Mortal Engines Trailer Reveals a Surprising Connection Between Hester and Valentine
A new Mortal Engines trailer dropped today at New York Comic Con and it gives us a look at what the world was like before civilization collapsed. Oceans were roaring and crystal blue, sunlight was golden and flowers grew. People even flew in personal aircraft and were free to roam about the land. It’s a stark contrast to the industrial metal cities that emerged.
Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar) and her mother,

Halloween Abandoned a Plan to Re-Shoot the Original Ending
We have already been raving about the impressively executed new Halloween, but the more we learn about it, the more amazing this project becomes. The David Gordon Green sequel to the 1978 original nails an incredible balancing act. This is the reboot that all reboots aspire to be. It manages to recall favorite moments from the original without being a remake, there’s a juicy new storyline here, and it will almost certainly find new fans who weren’t already introduced to the franchise.

There is a major power shift here through the camera movement alone.
