In the opening scene of Apples Never Fall, Joy Delaney (Annette Bening) takes a leisurely bike ride through West Palm Beach, Florida. She’s got the time, having recently retired after decades of coaching tennis alongside her husband, Stan (Sam Neill). Joy cycles by palm trees and mansions and stops to browse stands of impossibly perfect fruit. But as she passes tennis courts bustling with players, her mouth curves into a wistful frown.
A sense of melancholy nags at the superficial idyll of Joy’s excursion, only to burst into outright dread when we see her bike overturned in the street, its back wheel still spinning and its frame splattered with blood, and Joy nowhere to be found. This scene introduces an alluring air of mystery regarding Joy’s inner life and the nature of her seemingly utopian environment. Unfortunately, that intrigue proves incredibly short-lived—a victim of Apples Never Fall’s plodding pace,...

Six seasons and a movie -- it's finally happening!
A Community movie is apparently in the works, with star Joel McHale stating the film will begin shooting in 2024.
It's been nine years since we last saw our favorite Greendale Human Beings, and we have a lot of questions about the upcoming film. Here's everything we know so far about the Community movie.
Community Movie Release Date
There has been a lot of back and forth about whether a Community movie would ever be made. With the famous "six seasons and a movie" line from the show, fans have long held out hope.
In September 2022, Peacock ordered a Community movie. However, series creator Dan Harmon later expressed concern that the movie wouldn't happen at all despite being "nearly done" with the script.
In January 2023, Joel McHale said the movie would be filming that summer, but production was canceled due to the actor and writer strikes.

Greek mythology movies blend imaginative elements with sincere religion, creating magical realism of the highest order. Gods in Greek mythology were flawed, relatable beings, inviting convoluted and operatic drama into civilization. Classic Greek mythology tales have influenced modern storytelling tropes, making for some of the most memorable action films on the big screen.
There is something indelibly appealing about Greek mythology movies, from classics like Spartacus to more recent fare like Troy (2004). Incorporating imaginative elements into the sincerity of religion, they are magical realism of the highest order, wherein humans coexist with monsters. The gods themselves were as flawed as humans, making them relatable. They were vain and vengeful, inviting convoluted and operatic drama. Further, civilization itself was intriguing. Their politics and customs are fascinating pieces of history from which we are not especially far removed. Their grandiose stories and lives will perpetuate them in eternity - proven by films in the genre.

The 2014 movies The Legend of Hercules and Hercules both offer different stories about the iconic hero and his legendary battles. Both films had impressive casts, but the selective cast of Hercules helps shape an intriguing story about connection and fighting for what is right. While both films have their strengths, Dwayne Johnson's Hercules proves to be the stronger movie in portraying the strengths and weaknesses of the legendary warrior.
Renny Harlin's The Legend of Hercules and Brett Ratner's Hercules were two movies about the legendary hero released in 2014, but only one can be considered a real tribute to the warrior's story. The Legend of Hercules was a 3D fantasy film that depicts the early life of Alcides (Kellan Lutz) in Ancient Greece, as the son of King Amphitryon. After being unwillingly sold into slavery in Egypt, he learns of his true destiny and must rise to become Hercules.

With Gladiator 2 currently in development, 2000's Gladiator is back in the public eye and so is Maximus Decimus Meridius's journey to regain his freedom and avenge his family against Emperor Commodus. While the movie is not particularly historically accurate, it still proved to have a lasting impact on pop culture and the perception of gladiators in general.
Yet, as fascinating as Gladiator is, it isn't the only historical epic with stakes and drama that continues to resound through Hollywood. Many other movies fit a similar profile. While the wait for Gladiator 2 continues, it might be worth checking out some other impactful historical epics.
Centurion Has the Same Setting and Stakes
Release Year
Approximate Box Office
2010
$7 million
Because Maximus conflicted with Commodus, the central focus of Gladiator is on the Roman Empire. It confronts the brutal reality of the regime and the cruelty of the Emperor and the entire political system.

Considered one of the greatest of his generation, throughout his lifetime, the late Peter O’Toole witnessed himself starring in several classics, even joining forces with Brad Pitt on 2004’s Troy. But among the several gems O’Toole has worked on, earning the most Oscar nods for Best Actor without scoring a win, the performance that launched him to stardom remains his most notable one.
Regarded as the greatest Epic of all time by many, David Lean’s Laurence of Arabia has cemented itself as a modern classic, which saw the Troy Star earning his first of many Oscar nods.

Incredible scenes can save movies from poor reception by overshadowing the lackluster qualities of the project. The standout scenes in films like Revenge of the Sith and The Dark Knight Rises have aged the best and are considered the highlights of their respective series. An epic battle scene can be a massive reason for a film's acclaim, as seen in movies like Troy and Anchorman 2.
Several movies have had their reputations saved by one undeniably incredible scene. A great scene, particularly at the end of a film, can have an enormous impact on its audience and, in some cases, can save the film from poor reception.

Those who don’t follow professional wrestling may not appreciate just how tough and grueling it is. It isn’t enough to be on the road 200+ days a year, getting dropped on your head or your back every night, dealing with injuries, losing your spot on the roster, and worse. If you’ve seen films like The Iron Claw, The Wrestler, or the old Beyond the Mat documentary, you know that professional wrestling is grind like no other.
But the other aspect that goes underappreciated is how much wrestling relies on acting. If you have any hope of making it big, it isn’t enough to be able to do a tope suicida or Texas Cloverleaf on the way to a 5-star mat classic. You have to be able to act your role, day in and day out. Often, you have to act live, in front of an audience of thousands,...

It all started well in Malaikottai Vaaliban. The arid landscape, the aesthetic color palette, characters popping out of carefully crafted set pieces, and the striking background score, reminiscent of Ennio Morricone – it was evident Lijo Jose Pellissery had been watching too many spaghetti westerns. Pellissery, known for his breakout indie Angamaly Diaries, kept his inspirations intact as he introduced Mohanlal, who embodies Malaikottai Vaaliban, a mighty wrestler and wandering warrior. The film opens with a satisfying sequence. An ox cart slowly rumbles through the deserted landscape of a village. A young man walking along the ox cart announces with the same vigor as a wrestling announcer that the cart belongs to Malaikottai Vaaliban. Then, a chain of micro-events unfolds – a teenage boy running, a wrestler getting angry, his seductive wife laughing in his face, and people gluing up in an open field like in a Fevicol advertisement. As the commotion reaches its crescendo,...

TV shows that continuously expand their cast can struggle to manage their characters effectively. Introducing new characters can breathe fresh life into long-running shows and prevent reliance on a single personality. Some of the best TV shows carefully eliminate characters when necessary to explore others in more detail.
While some TV shows center around a limited cast, others continuously expand and introduce new characters. This is the case with many of the most celebrated series ever that excel in balancing an array of personalities and story arcs. Managing so many characters can be a considerable challenge, and it doesn't always work out. Game of Thrones is the perfect example of a series that continuously expanded its cast, leading to many characters suffering as it attempted to wind things down rapidly.

Sitcom couples can feel forced and lack chemistry. Some relationships are created for comedic or dramatic purposes. Even if a sitcom couple is poorly matched, it can lead to interesting storylines worth exploring. Some sitcom relationships are just plain weird and don't work well, but they can still benefit the show overall.
Sitcoms couples are a huge part of the genre, but some romantic pairings just don't work that well. However, it's not always an unintentional move. While there are plenty of occasions where the relationship is supposed to be conceived as authentic, some sitcom couples are forced together by the writers for comedic or dramatic purposes. While the majority of poorly-matched romances don't tend to last long within their respective shows, there are some that endure. For all the sitcom couples who were actually happy together, there are just as many TV show relationships that are just plain weird.

The Community movie will finally explain Troy's bizarre departure after he was kidnapped by pirates. Fans have been left in the dark for years.

To millions of millennials and zoomers, Zachary David Alexander Efron will forever be associated with his role as Troy in Disney’s “High School Musical” trilogy of TV films.

“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” utilizes an interesting mix of ancient and modern for its story of demigods in the contemporary world trying to undo the petty grudges and unintended consequences of the Greek Gods’ wrath (as they always are). Production designer Dan Hennah and costume designer Tish Monaghan blend archetypical hoplite gear with goofy orange camp T-shirts; the show gives the mythological entities that Percy (Walter Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) encounter free reign to assert their personalities through clothing, style, and, in the case of Mr. D (Jason Mantzoukas), a mild addiction to Diet Coke.
So in honor of that inventive melding of ancient stories with the modern baggage of American pop culture, we found 12 different examples of depictions of the Greek gods in film and television.

Welcome to Wtf Happened to Troy? If we’re talking about the best historical cinematic epics of all time, what are the first few titles that leap to mind? Kubrick’s Spartacus? Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia? Maybe Gibson’s Braveheart? Whatever the answer is, chances are, despite earning half a billion dollars worldwide, Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy isn’t likely the first movie that tops the list. But why is that? After all, Troy was not only a monumental box office hit but also fared pretty well among critics and general filmgoers alike. Moreover, with Homer’s timeless tale of The Iliad guiding the way, it would seem as though Troy would resonate longer in the public’s collective consciousness and rank among the all-time best and most durable biographical epics. Yet, despite the impressive size, scale, and scope of the big-screen spectacle that chronicles the intense war between...

Martin Scorsese's name speaks for itself. It's synonymous with the art of movie-making. His films themselves are synonymous with influential cinema. His career has reached the kind of heights that any veteran of any industry would be envious of. And like any truly great and remarkably versatile director, he's tackled almost every genre under the sun, from thrillers to comedies, period films to sports dramas, and, of course, his signature mob films. Tthe auteur has not only experimented passionately, but has almost always created a masterpiece in the genre he's dabbled in. And with his most recent film, the critically lauded Killers of the Flower Moon, he finally made a Western, albeit still heavily placed in the crime drama atmosphere. But the one genre he has yet to tackle in any way, shape, or form, is the ancient history epic.

Troy's return and focus on revenge on Madison and finding a home for himself and his daughter made him the perfect antagonist to drive the final story of Fear the Walking Dead and develop other characters. Introducing a child into Troy's story added complexity and allowed his motivations to tie in with the season's narrative, making him a more complex villain and opening the possibility of redemption. Troy's motivations for killing Alicia, based on preventing others from exhibiting charity, mirrored the motivations of a previous villain, which weakened his revenge arc and detracted from the impact of his actions.

Fear the Walking Dead's season 8 storyline should have happened earlier, as the feud between Madison and Troy could have been the conflict that closed out the entire series five seasons ago. The show's decline in viewership during seasons 4-7 could have been avoided if the current storyline had been introduced earlier, bringing back interest and enjoyment from audiences. The fact that the current plot mirrors what happened in season 3 suggests that the show was mishandled, with unnecessary installments in the middle that could have been skipped. The finale's rightful place comes at the cost of a missed opportunity for an earlier conclusion.
As Fear the Walking Dead approaches its series finale, it is becoming increasingly clear that the direction the series is going in is one that could have occurred approximately five seasons ago. Fear the Walking Dead is the first spinoff series of the apocalypse classic The Walking Dead.

This article contains spoilers for Fear The Walking Dead season 8, episode 10.
Fear The Walking Dead's final episodes promise a satisfying conclusion without setting up future spinoffs like other Twd shows. The reunion of the Ftwd cast in Alexandria could offer a positive and peaceful ending for the characters. Expect Alicia's return, her survival hinted at by a clue, to provide closure to Madison's storyline and possibly prevent her from killing Troy.
With only the two-part finale left in the Fear The Walking Dead series, some predictions are worth unpacking before all unanswered questions are hopefully addressed. After eight seasons with some of the remaining characters and a few "resurrected" favorites like Madison and Troy, the end is in sight. Fear's run is the second longest in the Walking Dead franchise, following the parent show. This undoubtedly leaves a need to conclude it in a satisfying way that leaves no loose ends.
