When thinking ofWill Ferrell’s collaborators, most people would immediately think ofPaul Rudd,Adam McKay, andSteve Carell, and it is no coincidence that these allusions come fromAnchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. However, it is arguablyMark Wahlbergwho has brought the best out of Ferrell in all of his performances, and vice versa, and this is clearest in Adam McKay’s buddy cop filmThe Other Guys. The duo works together perfectly. InThe Other Guys, Wahlberg playsTerry, an overly serious detective who thinks everything is linked to drug crime, whereas Ferrell plays Allen, a stuffy nerd with a dark past who ran a prostitution ring in college....

There are few modernhorrorfilmmakers that can scare people as much asMike Flanagancan. His unique blend of psychological real-world chills and tense atmosphere can’t be matched. Especially when you consider the director’s trailblazing Netflix work. Now,one of the filmmaker’s most underrated films that used to be a streaming original is getting a haunting new 4K version. The latest physical media edition ofHushwill be a three-disc 4K/Blu-ray combo pack steelbook. The artwork is a sleek black design that plays into the hook of this slasher....

Picture, if you will, the bustling city of Kolkata, India suddenly united by an unlikely phenomenon – a frenzy around the arrival ofMoulin Rouge!It’s been 20 years since the jukebox musical was released, and I can’t disassociate the film from the hype surrounding it in my home city. It’s not like we didn’t have access to Hollywood films, but most people seemed less interested in pop culture than I was. As far as I could tell, my family were the only voracious consumers of English-language films and television shows, and we were the rare people who spent hours discussing what we’d watched....

On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (September 23rd, 2016) John Campea, Mark Ellis, John Rocha, Perri Nemiroff and Sinead DeVries discuss the following: Rings, the long delayed third movie inThe Ringfranchiseis getting delayed yet again. The sequel that brings the series into the modern age has been pushed back, as revealed in an announcement from Paramount Pictures. This marks the third timeRingshas shifted on the calendar, and while this year has shown us that horror can succeed at any time of the year, audiences are especially looking for it in October....

Yet another new image fromDavid Gordon Green’s upcoming horror sequelHalloween Killshas made its way out into the world. This tantalizing new image of franchise bad boy Michael Myers (credited as “The Shape” and played byNick Castlein Green’s movies) also ties back to the cliffhanger ending of 2018’sHalloween. The new image also arrives just a few weeks afteranother image of Michael Myerswas released. In case you can’t sense the emerging theme, it looks likeHalloween Killsputting all of its marketing energy in reminding us that the threat of Michael Myers is ever-present....

HBO Max is shaping up to be a heavy hitter in the streaming space. With so many Warner Bros. classics at its disposal, we shouldn’t be too surprised that they’ve got a great catalog of titles, but it’s still something to see it all laid out. From June alone, this is going to be a service worth its subscription. Notable June titles includeAdventures in Babysitting,Amelie,An American Werewolf in London,Cabaret,Chicago,Drop Dead Gorgeous,Elf,The Fountain,Full Metal Jacket,The Goonies,Hanna,The Iron Giant,Looney Tunes: Back in Action,Magic Mike,McCabe and Mrs....

Pedro Pascaltakes on fatherly duties underneath galactic armor inThe Mandalorianor by presenting a stern-faced, ruggedness inThe Last of Us.Before these noble feats, he spent time as a baddie inKingsman: The Golden Circle(2017), a sequel that didn’t hit all the marks but did right in Pascal’s casting. His character of Statesman agent Whiskey is one cool cowboy, who will use a lasso to tie up, fling, or slice enemies in half. If it isn’t obvious, unlike Mando or Joel, agent Whiskey has a genuine love for getting into a cutthroat brawl....

[This is a re-post of mySouthside with Youreview from the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The film is now playing in theaters.] Going intoSouthside with You, writer/directorRichard Tanne’s drama about the first date betweenBarackandMichelle Obama, I was curious to find out why this film exists. There’s nothing remotely scandalous or dramatic about the first date between our nation’s First Couple, so what’s the need to chronicle the event inBefore Sunrise-esque fashion? But once I was watching the film I understood: Barack Obama’s presidency is an undeniably historic event in our nation’s history—he’s the first non-white President ever, and Michelle is the first non-white First Lady ever, so understanding the “origin story” and background of this couple is actually quite noteworthy....

I am not a fan of theSawseries. I saw the first movie in theaters back in 2004, thought it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen, and had no desire to go back for its many sequels. And yet the new spinoff,Spiral: From the Book of Saw, offered an alluring promise. As a spinoff, I wasn’t required to familiarize myself with the six sequels or the 2017 rebootJigsaw....

Warning: If you are not caught up through “The Rat,” there arespoilersbelow. The Americansis an exceptional series. Granted, it was one that took awhile for me to warm to, but now I can’t sing enough of its praises. Wednesday’s episode, “The Rat,” proves exactly why it’s so great, particularly through Martha’s (Alison Wright) arc in the series. Martha was introduced to us as something of a pathetic character, a woman so desperate for a relationship and flattered by the attentions of a man she knew as Clark (who we knew asMatthew Rhys’ Philip Jennings) that she was willing to make exceptional personal compromises for him....

Growing up and getting through high school is truly hell for everyone, and the teenagers of today have even more to worry about than those of the past. HBO Max’s upcoming filmThe Falloutproves exactly that, as viewers are taken behind the traumatic events of a school shooting and how the bond between two girls allows them to get through it together. What is so chilling and stomach churning about the new trailer is that it begins as a seemingly normal day of high school....

I thought the direction onThe Greatest Showmanwas pretty impressive, but it looks likeMichael Gracey, who made his feature debut on the musical, had a bit of help from a veteran helmer. According toVariety,James Mangoldwas called in to oversee a week of reshoots after 20th Century Fox became concerned that Gracey had become overwhelmed on the project. Since Gracey had only previously done commercials (he met starHugh Jackmanon a 2010 ad for Lipton Iced Tea), the studio decided they needed a seasoned director who also had a rapport with Jackman....

Green Lanternhas got to go down as one of the most disappointing superhero films of all time.From the stunted dialogue to the disappointing CGI costumes,Green Lanternhas left a deep scar on cinema culture that is remembered to this day; with even the directorMartin Campbell admittingthe flick was “not up to par” with the nature of a “big studio movie.“However, one of the bright spots inGreen Lanternhas got to beRyan Reynolds, but this was almost a very different outcome....
