Ok, no one really knows what’s up with Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff movie, “Madame Web,” at least whether it’s good or not. Still, journalist Drew McWeeny’s tweet this weekend, “I have never seen a more defeated press tour than Madame Web. Everyone looks like they’re pre-emptively apologizing,” is at least super amusing and perhaps what many of us have been thinking.
It’s almost certainly a reference to this half-hearted quote; the movie’s start, Dakota Johnson, recently gave Entertainment Weekly about the film.

I am an old man. I'm not particularly old for, like, the Earth as Craig Robinson might say, but I'm just about entering my grandpa era in terms of the online culture. My time writing about movies online began in the mid-'90s while I was still in high school and that gave me a front row seat to the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe empire, so I remember that era very well.
When that first MCU end credits scene hit in "Iron Man," it was a mind-blower for many reasons. We'd never seen anything like that in blockbuster filmmaking. The shared universe idea is commonplace now, but back then the idea that Marvel could be building up to an "Avengers" crossover movie was so exciting.
However, for readers of movie rumors, that reveal was ... well, it was spoiled for them by the website I wrote for, Ain't It Cool News.

Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan, who starred together in 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” melted hearts on social media on Sunday night when the pair hugged on stage after “Everything Everywhere All At Once” won Best Picture. Earlier in the night, Quan won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
The actors, now 80 and 51 years old, respectively, reunited previously at Disney’s D23 Expo.
The second entry in the franchise saw Ford reprise his role as the adventurous archaeologist, with Quan playing his sidekick Short Round. The 1984 film grossed nearly $180 million worldwide and catapulted Quan into child actor stardom. He would go on to play Data in “The Goonies” the following year.

John Carpenter planned "Halloween" to be an anthology series, but the relative failure of "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" put the kibosh on those plans. Instead, the series reintroduced classic antagonist Michael Myers, Carpenter's involvement lapsed until 2018's "Halloween," and "Season of the Witch" had to settle for being a cult classic.
However, Carpenter did get to create a different type of film series: a thematic one. His so-called "Apocalypse trilogy" is made up of "The Thing," "Prince of Darkness," and "In The Mouth of Darkness," three films that were released across more than a decade, hitting theaters in 1982, 1987, and 1994, respectively. Despite no overt story links between them, they each depict the end of the world, wrought by a force much greater and terrifying than humanity.
In a 2022 interview with Vulture, Carpenter recalls how this loose trilogy was not something he planned, but instead a career arc that happened...

1. “The Witcher” Season 2 (available December 17)
Why Should I Watch? It’s been two years since Henry Cavill cast his spell on the world, and the titular Witcher’s long-awaited return to Netflix is finally upon us. I’m going to be honest: I do not remember much about this show. Twenty-four months — especially these past 24 months — is a long time, and I have yet to find the precious eight hours required for my rewatch. But I think that’s Ok? What made “The Witcher” work so well was a beguiling combination of palpable enthusiasm and prioritizing spectacle over sanity. Rarely did “The Witcher” slow down so viewers could process what was going on, when it could simply charge forward into stranger and stranger events. Whether you can keep up with its wild world-building or not, the first eight episodes are an experience to be had, and I don’t doubt...

From executive producers David Fincher and David Prior, Voir is a series of visual essays celebrating Cinema and the personal connection we each have to the stories we see on the big screen. From intimate personal histories to insights on character and craft, each episode reminds us why Cinema holds a special place in our lives.
As told by Walter Chaw, Drew McWeeny, Taylor Ramos, Sasha Stone & Tony Zhou, check out this preview below.
In June of 1975, the blockbuster was born when director Steven Spielberg’s Jaws hits theaters to an unsuspecting movie going public. The summer blockbuster spawned a series of movies and literally made people afraid to go into the water. Bruce the Shark, as he is known to the die-hard fans, and the sole surviving full-scale model of the 1975 Jaws shark, now lives at the Academy Museum. Based on the 1974 Peter Benchley novel, Jaws was an immediate critical and commercial success,...

Starz announced that the next drama in the “Power” franchise, “Power Book IV: Force,” will premiere Feb. 6, 2022.
The show stars Joseph Sikora, reprising his “Power” role of Tommy Egan as he leaves New York after losing Ghost (Omari Hardwick). He sets out to close an old wound he has been haunted by for decades, but he ends up caught in a labyrinth of family secrets and lies and finds himself in Chicago’s drug game — between the city’s two biggest crews. Over the course of the first season, Tommy will use his outsider status to his advantage, breaking and rewriting local rules on a quest to become the biggest drug dealer in Chicago.

David Fincher is partnering with Netflix on “Voir,” a new documentary series of visual essays celebrating cinema.
Netflix, or at least, the Twitter account dedicated to its movies, had film fans buzzing on Tuesday after tweeting: “Something special is coming tomorrow from David Fincher…”
Alas, that “something special” is not a third season of “Mindhunter” or a sequel to “Mank,” the director’s Oscar-nominated Netflix drama about the screenwriter of “Citizen Kane.” Fincher, who is executive producing “Voir” with “The Empty Man” director David Prior, has disclosed very little about the upcoming project. Writer Drew McWeeny, who is working on the project, wrote that the series of 10 to 30-minute essays are about “something that intrigues us or upsets us or that has to do with our connection to the movies.”
“Voir” will premiere on Nov. 13 at AFI Fest in Los Angeles before it lands on Netflix on an undetermined date.

The battle between Peter Jackson and Harvey Weinstein during the early development of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is chronicled in a new Polygon essay written by film journalist Drew McWeeny. Weinstein secured the rights to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth books for Jackson through Miramax, but developing “Rings” under Weinstein proved difficult as the producer demanded a two-film adaptation made for $75 million. Per Polygon, Weinstein hid the budget from Jackson for at least a year and a half of development. When the “Rings” team found out about the financial cap, they took matters into their own hands by leaking the script.
At the time Jackson and Weinstein were developing “The Lord of the Rings,” McWeeny worked as a writer for Ain’t It Cool News. In his Polygon essay, McWeeny discusses getting the script for the two-film “Lord of the Rings” adaptation leaked to him by people at WingNut and Weta studios.

It’s hard to imagine a Masters of Horror series without John Carpenter. There are other names that might be more interchangeable, or that would be less noticeable had they been left off the roster of the Showtime anthology series, but trying to do something called “Masters of Horror” without Carpenter would be like trying to do a series on NBA Legends without Michael Jordan. I don’t know that I can definitively say that John Carpenter is the greatest horror filmmaker of all time, but John Carpenter is probably the greatest horror filmmaker of all time.
There’s a lot of responsibility that comes with being the best, which means Carpenter comes into “Cigarette Burns,” his first of two Masters of Horror episodes, with a certain amount of baggage: there’s pressure on him to stand apart from the seven directors and seven episodes that have come before his,...

It’s not enough to love films, we now must enumerate that love or hate relative to any similar films.
It has become a familiar ritual — the latest release in a franchise or a noted director’s canon spawns more than one site to run a “The Films of ___________, Ranked” article. We’ve done this dance with the Marvel movies since At Least 2012 when The Avengers came out, and no doubt someone is at this very moment preparing a ranking of the 14 previous films in the McU to accompany the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Wonder Woman will likely spur on a ranking of all the DC Films, and we saw just in the past week where everyone stood on the existing Fast & Furious movies.
And yes, I got into the act with my own “The Films of Assistant Director Frank Capra III, Ranked.” Hopefully the point was made.

Hey there, everyone! I sincerely hope this finds you all well (or at least coping) and eager (or at least willing) to take on a new year. I love doing year-end lists. For me, it’s a time of reflection, as well as expansion. Since I started with Daily Dead in April of 2015, my horror-view continues to grow; I’ve been so fortunate to meet and speak with some enduring legends of the genre, not to mention strike many new friendships through social media. But what my continuing immersion in this greatest of cultures has provided above all else is an appreciation for the variety and depth horror has to offer. It really has been a great year; unfortunately, I’ve missed some goodies, but dammit, I tried. So, without anymore ado whatsoever, here are a few (okay, a lot) of my favorite things from 2016.

Fans! Ever since seeing Take Shelter back in 2011, I've been continually blown away by Jeff Nichols. For my money, he's the best director working right this very moment. Earlier this year I was blown away by Midnight Special and it continues to be at the top of my favorite films of 2016. I can't exactly pin-point why his films strike such a chord with me. I often hear people talk about the big concepts that he tackles with a small, intimate approach. I always come back to family, his incredible eye for detail and his awesome work with Michael Shannon. Miri had a chance to chat with him earlier last week about his latest offering, Loving, which I know you'll all love as much as we did. He touches on the development process, casting and what gives his movies the "Nichols" touch. Sit back and soak this one in. P.

Acclaimed French director Leos Carax’s last film “Holy Motors” is one of the most acclaimed films of the young century. It premiered at Cannes in 2012 and won the Award of the Youth, and garnered universally positive notices upon release in the United States. It most recently placed at number 16 on the BBC’s recent list of the 21st century’s greatest films with Drew McWeeny writing that it’s “an act of grief designed as an expression of love.” Now, Carax returns with “Annette,” a new music drama starring Rooney Mara (“Carol”) and Adam Driver (“Paterson”).

According to Variety, the film follows the rise and fall of a love affair and will reunite the “Holy Motors” crew. It will be Carax’s first English-language debut, and will be produced by Paris-based Arena Films, Swiss company Vega, Japan’s Eurospace and Belgium’s Wrong Men.

Hulu is getting into the Marvel business: The streaming platform is developing an adaptation of Marvel title Runaways, the fan-favorite comic series created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, Deadline first reported. Runaways is in development at Hulu but, contrary to reports elsewhere, does not yet have a series order, a source tells HitFix. Set to serve as showrunners are Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, whose credits include Gossip Girl and The O.C. — so both have had successes in the realm of TV about teens. Runaways is about a group of superpowered teens who learn that their parents are part of an evil crime organization. Shortly after the news broke, Schwartz tweeted out his enthusiasm to be aboard the Vaughan-based project. Hulu Orders ‘Marvel’s Runaways’ — Dream project.

The success of the kitchen nightmare (apologies to Gordon Ramsey) that is Sausage Party could mean a whole lot more R-rated animated films - that is, if Seth Rogen has his way. And we’re guessing he will. The film’s writer, producer and star told Fandango that he’s keen on making more just like the movie that grossed $33.6 million on its opening weekend. Considering the budget was only $19 million, Sony, the studio behind the flick, would be foolish to back away from that potential. This brings us back to what Rogen wants to do. "We have ideas for other R-rated animated movies that have nothing to do with Sausage Party," Rogen said. “Hopefully it won't take this long to make the next one because it won't take five years to convince someone to make it. The whole problem before was there was no precedent for it, so hopefully...

Your regular round-up of the latest animation news, from HitFix reporter Emily Rome Welcome to the first installment of AnimationFix, where on a regular basis I’ll supply you a round-up of recent animation news and my musings on both the hidden gems and the buzziest new footage and art from the world of toons. First treat for you today: Regina Spektor’s Japanese-influenced cover of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” recorded for stop-motion animation Kubo and the Two Strings. One of the film’s trailers previously gave us an early listen of the cover but just an instrumental section without Spektor’s vocals. Kubo and the Two Strings, a action adventure movie set in a world inspired by ancient Japan, is a samurai story that aims for an epic scale rarely seen in stop-motion. In the film, young Kubo plays a magical three-stringed instrument like a shamisen, a Japanese...

The most recent Fantastic Four movie was a bomb. There’s just no polite way to put it. The 2015 film grossed just $56 million in the U.S. (plus another $111 million internationally) on a $120 million production budget. But the flick’s underperformance hasn’t dissuaded one of its stars from expressing interest in giving it another go. Miles Teller, who played Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in the film, told Joblo.com that he’d be keen to reprise his role as the man who can stretch his body however he wants. “I think it's such an interesting dynamic. I love how much they really need to rely on each other. This Avengers thing, they've kind of created their own Fantastic Four in a way, Marvel's first family. Their powers can't just exist on their own, you need Thor to do this, the Hulk to do his thing. So yeah, absolutely, I would do another one,...

Warning: major spoilers about Suicide Squad lie ahead. Suicide Squad is full of bad guys, but we need to talk about the real bad guy in Suicide Squad. No, it’s not Kevin we need to talk about (who is decidedly more frightening and more memorable than the actual villains in Suicide Squad. And though Kevin’s counterpart, Barry Allen, made a characteristically blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in the movie). We need to talk about the true antagonists of the latest DC movie, the ones our rogues gallery of anti-heroes must battle. Enchantress and Incubus. Photo credit: Warner Bros. Did you know they’d be the antagonists of this movie before walking into the theater? I didn’t. Warner Bros. kept Enchantress/Dr. June Moone largely out of Suicide Squad’s trailers, and it’s not because of any backlash about the character’s costume. It turns out she’s the antagonist here,...

What’s a fan who doesn’t like the critics’ reviews of Suicide Squad to do? Attempt a takedown of Rotten Tomatoes, of course. That’s exactly what one DC Comics fan did earlier this week, when he launched a Change.org petition to get the review aggregator website shut down. Here, Fandemonium host Miri Jedeikin and HitFix film critic Drew McWeeny discuss this response to the film’s low Rotten Tomatoes rating (which currently stands at 27 percent), why we need to be reminded of exactly what it is Rotten Tomatoes does, and how fans can better use their strong passion for good.

Ever since I wrote about my dismay with how Suicide Squad appeared to be handling Harley Quinn’s origin back in January, I’ve been hoping against hope the trailer left out crucial details. Tonight, I’ll get to find out. But regardless of how Harley Quinn ends up in a vat of Ace Chemicals, it’s clear Warner Bros. is not interested in exploring the inner complexities of Harley’s role as a victim of domestic abuse. From our Drew McWeeny in his review of the film: in the perfect version of the film, we’d see all of the characters genuinely struggling with their nature when offered a chance to do some sort of good in the world. That’s not really what David Ayer had in mind, though. Take his version of Harley Quinn, for example, because she is clearly the character that interested Ayer the most.

Suicide Squad is just days away from hitting theaters on August 5. The hotly-anticipated anti-superhero film has been teasing audiences for more than a year at this point. Now, at long last, we’re getting an early taste of what critics are thinking, and it’s decidedly mixed. While many more reviews will be coming out in the days ahead, the movie is only at 38 percent “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. HitFix’s Drew McWeeny gave the movie a B+, saying it’s “gleefully nihilistic” and “it gets it right often enough that I like a lot of it.” While many agreed, many others took the exact opposite position on the film that’s tracking for a $100+ million opening weekend. Following are some reviews from leading critics: "Fresh" “Compared to its ilk, Suicide Squad is an excellently quirky, proudly raised middle finger to the staid superhero-movie establishment.” Brian Truitt USA Today “For DC,...

As reviews for the DC Comics/Warner Bros. movie Suicide Squad roll in today things are looking bleak. But we know for a fact Suicide Squad got at least one thing right. Allow Will Smith to explain. Our own Drew McWeeny seemed to like the film well enough but a scan of many other entertainment sites this morning reveals the overall impression of the film is a lackluster one. But at the premiere of the film in New York City last night Smith reminded us of something, this movie features a diverse cast, something lacking in a lot of Hollywood productions but also something people are finally starting to wake up about. "We're just very, very excited. It's really, really rare...you know I've made a lot of movies, and some of them you can't even really count as movies [audience laughs] but this team right here, this group of people, we...

The Warner Bros. movie universe has just cast Kiersey Clemons as Iris West for The Flash starring Ezra Miller. The film is set to be directed by Rick Famuyiwa who also directed the actor in his critically acclaimed Dope. Variety reports Clemons will join Miller who already made his debut as Barry Allen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (we just saw a lot more of him in the first Justice League trailer!). Although it's not confirmed, Variety writes, "Insiders reveal that Clemons is likely to play Iris West, the tough-as-nails journalist and friend of Barry Allen, the Flash’s alter ego." You may recall actor Candice Patton made headlines when she was cast as Iris for The CW's The Flash because she didn't look quite like the comic book version of the character (she's been fantastic in the role, just as Grant Gustin has been as Barry). At the time,...

On today's Check In, we chat with HitFix film critic Drew McWeeny about the current wave of reboots. Both the upcoming Star Trek Beyond and Ghostbusters films have been hobbled at every step of their journeys by the suffocating and contradictory demands of their fans,. How have these two films, born of nostalgia, navigated their terms of fan-endearment? Can the standards of their fans ever be satisfied? And ultimately, does all this build-up backlash and hype mean anything in the end anyway? Hear our thoughts in the video below on today's episode of The Check In.

Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond isn't in theaters just yet, but Paramount Pictures, Skydance, and Bad Robot have announced Star Trek 4 is a go and will feature returning star Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. Over the weekend I wrote about J.J. Abrams making the big reveal that Hemsworth, currently starring in Ghostbusters, would be sharing the screen with Chris Pine in the next Star Trek film. I thought there was a chance he might be playing an entirely new character but with Paramount's announcement today they've confirmed, he'll be back as James T. Kirk's father. Now it looks like we're back to the simplest explanation - time travel. From their press release: In the next installment of the epic space adventure, Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk will cross paths with a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born: his father.

Released just one week ago, Pokemon Go quickly captured the attention of the nation. The mobile application has already been downloaded millions of times and has enjoyed widespread notice on social media and in the press. In a nutshell, the idea is to go outside and capture as many creatures as possible. Watch the video below to get a better sense of what's involved. (Drew McWeeny at Hitfix has also written a great article that explains the application's appeal for parents and their children.) The application has been so successful that share prices in parent company Nintendo have risen dramatically in the past few days. It's no surprise, then, that Hollywood studios want to jump on the Pokemon bandwagon. Legendary Pictures is the frontrunner to land...

It’s certainly unique for a comedy to result in so much controversy. In fact, outside of The Interview, which was a hot topic for totally different reasons, it’s hard to think of a movie that’s been as debated as much as the new Ghostbusters flick. But all these discussions are doing nothing to deter producers from seeing a bright future for the franchise. "It's going to be endless,” producer Amy Pascal told THR.com. “People are going to love this movie so much that they're going to demand more and more." The film, which stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, has been the topic of conversation ever since it was greenlit in 2014. Whether it was the much-unliked trailer on YouTube, the fact that the four “busters” are women or the casting of Leslie Jones as a blue-collar transit worker, the movie can’t...

Riding a wave of high expectations and faux-outrage from male zealots who don’t like their childhoods infected by cooties, “Ghostbusters” has finally opened in theaters and the reviews are generally positive, albeit with more than a few caveats. Following a ghost invasion of Manhattan, paranormal enthusiasts Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates (Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy), nuclear engineer Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), and subway worker Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) all band together to stop the otherworldly threat.
IndieWire‘s own Eric Kohn gave the film a mixed review, praising the film as an “explicitly feminist reworking of the popular franchise” with a crackerjack cast, but also said that the film marinates in old ides rather than new ones: “As ghostly occurrences grow more frequent and the Ghostbusters face down a series of CGI baddies around town, neither Robert Yeoman...

Critics aren't quite sure what to make of Nicholas Winding Refn’s new film The Neon Demon, but it's safe to say he's got vision. And now he's apparently turned his sights to the DC Comics' character Batgirl. Could he make a live-action film happen? The Danish director (who also did Bronson, Only God Forgives, and Drive) was speaking to Business Insider to promote The Neon Demon, which stars Elle Fanning, and spoke about how he once wanted to tackle DC's biggest female superhero: But this isn't the first time the Danish filmmaker has wanted to make a movie with a strong female lead. After the release of his popular 2011 thriller "Drive," Refn said he really wanted to make a Wonder Woman movie. That's not going to happen quite yet. When Gal Gadot stars as the superhero in her standalone movie, out in the summer of 2017, Patty Jenkins ("Monster") will have the reins.

Optimus Prime, meet King Arthur. Arthur, Optimus. That robot-legendary king meet-up is exactly what might happen in Transformers: The Last Knight, the fifth movie in Michael Bay’s franchise, set to open in June 2017. JoBlo claims to have the scoop on some of the story details for the movie, and it’s got Arthurian legend staking out a place in the movie world of the Hasbro toys. Here’s what the JoBlo post reports: The story for Transformers: The Last Knight will involve Optimus Prime finding his home planet, Cybertron, now a dead planet, which he comes to find he was responsible for killing. He finds a way to bring the planet back to life, but in order to do so he needs to find an artifact. And of course, that artifact is on Earth. What is that artifact? Well, here’s where things get weird. Somehow the artifact ties into Merlin, the magician of King Arthur lore. Apparently, the power of magic was given to Merlin by a Transformer and somehow the artifact ties into this. As far as what the artifact is, we can’t say, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it has something to do with the famed sword Excaliber (I mean, they did make sure to include a sword in the new logo, didn't they?). That’s just speculation on my part, but it sounds reasonable. Then Paul Shirey at JoBlo says something about how we’ve already seen the effects of time travel on the Transformers movies. I guess I missed that? The Transformers comics and animated series, though, have featured some time travel — including a 1985 episode called “A Deception Raider in King Arthur’s Court.” Rumble, Ravage, Starscream, and Ramjet get transported to 543 A.D. in the episode, which doesn’t actually draw much from Arthurian legend, though there is a princess character named Nimue (a.k.a. the Lady of the Lake). So time travel and/or ancient Arthurian artifacts may not be as much of a far-fetched left-turn for the Transformers movies (though “far-fetched” is a relative term in a world where alien mechanical life forms exist). The Last Knight subtitle might refer to a knight of the Round Table. Or, as my colleague Drew McWeeny pointed out to me, it may have something to do with Rom, Spaceknight. Paramount and Hasbro are pushing to get other properties like Rom into a shared cinematic universe. Oh, and maybe this is what Sir Anthony Hopkins is doing in a Transformers movie. We may have to forgive him for this questionable career choice if he’s playing Arthur or Merlin or some reincarnated knight.

The Internet is dark and full of spoilers... That sentiment is perhaps never more true than on Sunday nights, which has become the premier night for television viewing. The bulk of the "water cooler" moments happen on Sundays. The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, True Blood, and more deliver/ed non-stop Wtf moments that bring audiences together. And also have the power to rip them apart. Dramatic? Perhaps, but I've seen a number of relationships sustain serious damage as a result of one friend revealing a key moment in a television episode or movie before the other had a chance to experience it for him or herself. There are those rare monsters who take great pleasure in spoiling things for others -- you know who you are, Game of Thrones book readers. For the most part, though, spoilers are increasingly tricky in this culture because most of us have widely divergent levels of sensitivity. And the rules are ever fluid. Twitter has become our collective gathering place for television viewing. Live-tweeting an episode is a ritual for many, and a way to connect with others who share your passion. It's thrilling to experience something powerful in the same moment as thousands of others do. Hashtags have become the way to connect and also to protect yourself from any unwanted reveals. You can mute a hashtag if you don't want to see what people are saying about a given episode. Or, as Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams believes, it's now the user's responsibility to stay off social media if one doesn't want to the particulars of a given episode revealed during the tweet frenzy that accompanies our most popular shows. Entertainment sites have wildly different policies in this regard as well. There is one well-renowned publication (that shall not be named) that is by far the most egregious when it comes to posting spoilers in headlines. They called out the goriest of details of the Red Wedding about five minutes after the east coast feed had concluded. On the other hand, a site I used to work for was pathologically sensitive about spoilers. If I so much as said, "this episode was heartbreaking" our higher-ups would panic. There's no perfect way to do this, and often it's a matter of taste. In a culture when the rules for how to avoid spoilers is constantly changing, Drew McWeeny and Roth Cornet talk about where they land on the debate. Take a look in the video player above or below and chat with us here or on Twitter. Roth: @RothCornet Drew: @DrewAtHitfix...

Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow's documentary exploration of the career of controversial filmmaker Brian De Palma, aptly named De Palma, opens in theaters on Friday, June 10. As film lovers, we all likely have our own love, hate, or bit of both story with De Palma. Critics have had a storied relationship with the man that HiFfix's own Drew McWeeny describes as the "proto-Tarantino." His work was a significant part of my early introduction to film. In part, purposefully on the part of my mother. De Palma was a favorite of hers, and I had a particular affection for thrillers. My very first De Palma experience, however, was entirely against her will. When I was eight my friend and I managed to sneak into her parents' bedroom and watch Body Double. If you haven't seen it, it's essentially De Palma's take on what an X-Rated (or nearly X) Hitchcock film would look like.

For some, winning an Academy Award is the sweet reward after an established and respected career. A select few have been movie stars for some time prior to their win. For others, it is the fuel they need to kickstart superstardom. This year's Best Actor and Best Actress winners represent both sides of that coin. Leonardo DiCaprio has been famous almost as long as he's been alive. Brie Larson has been building a body of work that demonstrates both great skill and range. And her her first big post-Oscar move is a bold, and in some ways, risky one. It was recently revealed that Larson is the frontrunner to star in Marvel's fist solo female superhero outing: Captain Marvel. Here, Drew McWeeny and Roth Cornet talk about Larson taking on the role that many thought very well might go to Emily Blunt, and whether the actress is making the right...

X-Men: Apocalypse is in theaters, and brings with it a predictable level of -- in film -- catastrophic events. The demolishment of iconic monuments has become so old hat that Jeff Goldblum's David Levinson quips, "they like to get the landmarks," in the Independence Day: Resurgence trailer. The unfortunate result of the overuse of grand-scale destruction in film is that both we, the audience, and seemingly the filmmakers themselves have become numb to the intended impact. So much so that director Bryan Singer demonstrated just how tone-deaf both he and the studio had become when they featured Magneto destroying the remains of the Auschwitz concentration camps in X-Men: Apocalypse. It's one thing to drown London bridge for the umpteenth time in a film, but there are certain places that stand sacred. We preserve and honor them because they hold within them the memories that are meant to teach us to be and do better.

Dwayne Johnson is the most wanted man in Hollywood. It seems like he's announced to be leading the cast of a new film every other day and guess what? Today is one of those days. The Rock is officially going to tackle another character from the comic book pages for director Shane Black. The actor is already set to play the villainous Black Adam for Warner Bros' Shazam! film but The Hollywood Reporter says Johnson will be also be taking on Doc Savage, the pulp hero created in the 1930s by Lester Dent, Henry Ralston, and John Nanovic. Johnson was the one to actually reveal the news via his Instagram account saying: It's Official: For all comic book fans you already know the world's first superhero (pre-dating Superman) is the "Man of Bronze" himself Clark "Doc" Savage.
