On several occasions, Liam Neeson has admitted that his retirement from action thrillers was imminent, because he was quite simply getting a little too long in the tooth to convince. The Academy Award-nominated star made fun of the fact nobody would buy him kicking ass and punching throats once he hit 70, which makes you …
Superhero fatigue has become such a real thing that even the people responsible for contributing to the genre are out there admitting it for all the world to hear in an attempt to proclaim their film or TV series as being different, but there was hope that Samaritan would be able to break out of …
Before the end of next week, Sound of Freedom will pass a mind-blowing $180 million at the domestic box office to officially recoup its modest production costs 13 times over from domestic theaters alone. That means the thriller ditched by Disney and ignored by every major streaming service will have earned more on home soil …
One of the major reasons that big budget blockbusters don’t tend to earn as much money from theaters as they used to pre-COVID – with obvious exceptions like Barbie and Oppenheimer excluded – is one that studios don’t seem interested in rectifying, with Blue Beetle potentially the latest casualty.

Through no fault of his own, Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto has been left to pick up the pieces of the outgoing DCEU’s latest failure, with Jaime Reyes’ origin story becoming the superhero franchise’s third release this year alone to go down in a ball of box office flames.

Despite largely shooting internationally, director Ridley …
Hollywood studios and streaming services on Tuesday released the terms of a revised proposal to striking writers, but the union urged members to continue picketing as the new offer failed to address all their concerns. The Writers’ Guild of America (WGA) had walked off the job on May 2 after negotiations reached an impasse, and were …
Netflix doesn’t generally court controversy all that often, but when it did in the case of Cuties, the outrage was so vast and all-encompassing that it scarcely seemed believable at the time. Writer and director Maïmouna Doucouré’s drama following a troupe of young dancers may have secured a Certified Fresh approval rating of 87 percent …
There’s a new queen in town. Ahsoka has now premiered on Disney Plus to rave reviews, with the first two episodes scoring a 93 percent positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a consensus forming that, at least this time, Disney and Lucasfilm have knocked it out of the park. But Ahsoka isn’t the only fantasy-inspired …
