Pinball might not be where it is today without GQ writer Roger Sharpe. A pinball wizard in his spare time, he used his skill and knowledge of the game to go before the Manhattan City Council and prove definitively that it is no mere game of chance, earning it an exemption from prohibitions on gambling. His story will now be told in the Bragg Brothers' (Austin and Meredith Bragg) new film Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game and Collider can exclusively reveal the trailer which sets up the greatest shot of Sharpe's life. In addition, we can also reveal that Vertical Entertainment will release the film day and date on March 17.

Everybody has an opinion about “The Last of Us,” the survival horror series smashing viewership records for HBO week after week.

One misconception from not-so-eagle-eyed-and-eared viewers — or especially those who haven’t really experienced the show or game it’s based on — is that the show from Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin is about “zombies.” Not so far, as the enemies in the series starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey aren’t undead, duh. They’re just infected and turned feral by a rapidly spreading fungus that’s destroyed the planet.

The alleged miscategorization dates back to even the 2013 and 2020 Naughty Dog video games, where a post-pandemic United States faces off against a sprawling, spreading population of Infected. That may be why, as series cinematographer Eben Bolter explained in a recent interview over at The Credits, cast and crew were seemingly banned, in his words, from using the word “zombie” at all.

Since its release in 2018, Netflix's You has commanded the attention of TV watchers everywhere. With its skillful blend of horror and comedy, You focuses on the life of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) and his stalker ways. With a psychopath as its main character, the show offers an inside scoop on the trials and tribulations when it comes to Joe getting what he wants.

Warner Bros. Discovery's ambitions for the HBO Max streaming service continue to be fluid, as it was recently announced that plans to fully combine HBO Max and Discovery+ into one new service were being scrapped. Instead, Discovery+ will be maintained as a standalone service. Plans to launch a new streamer that combines HBO Max programming with lots of Discovery+ programs are still in motion, with that entity launching in spring 2023. It’s a frustrating development on several fronts and one that demonstrates which streaming service is getting the preferential treatment by Warner Bros. Discovery brass. HBO is about to be closer than ever with Discovery+ “content” but that doesn't mean it had to be this way.

Abbott Elementary is one of the great television successes of recent years. Since its premiere back in December 2021, the sitcom has been the recipient of critical acclaim and awards such as Golden Globes and Emmys. Created by and starring Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary is one of the few sitcoms on network television with a predominately Black cast. Centered on the goings-on at a predominately Black elementary school, Abbott Elementary boasts stellar performances from the likes of Sheryl Lee Ralph and Janelle James, as well as serving as a love letter to hard-working Black educators working at schools like Abbott. The sitcoms resemble a specific era where audiences watched Black life front and center on network television.

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino met in 1992 when both filmmakers exploded onto the scene with their respective films, "El Mariachi" and "Reservoir Dogs." Filmmaker panels don't happen quite as often as they used to at major film festivals, but back then, Rodriguez and Tarantino were on a panel addressing violence in the movies (naturally). That was always a hot button topic and both directors, especially Tarantino, have had to address the graphic content in their films multiple times over the years.

Coming off the success of "Kill Bill" and "Sin City" over a decade later, the idea to do "Grindhouse" was born out of curated movie nights that Tarantino would cull together out of old 35mm prints of drive-in movies and obscure trailers from the 1970's. "Grindhouse" was really a way to craft a passion project out of their love for some of the under seen gems that they revered growing up that,

It's been 40 years since Jennifer Beals charmed us with her magic and stole all of our hearts with her performance in Flashdance. A 40th anniversary is a huge milestone and Paramount Home Media is celebrating in style by offering fans of the classic a few ways to relive the film's breathtaking dance sequences, beginning with a remastered release in crisp 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever. Additionally, the classic will also be made available on Blu-ray, which will be followed by its return to the big screen for a few days.

Like many kids of the '90s, John Candy was my treasured movie uncle growing up. The beloved "Second City Television" funnyman turned comedic superstar could just as easily make you bust a gut laughing as he could tear your heart out. Heck, he was capable of doing both those things in the span of a single scene. That we were forced to bid farewell to him at the age of only 43 — when he died of a heart attack in 1994 — only makes the time we got him all the more precious.

Candy's fellow wise-cracking Canuck, Ryan Reynolds, paid his respects to the late funnyman on the 25th anniversary of his passing in 2019, posting a short video of clips from Candy's movies on Twitter as "a small tribute to a comedic genius and Canadian hero." Three years after that, however, Reynolds revealed he's also working on a far more labor-heavy love

After Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios fans were met with a Phase Four that was overwhelming in many ways. Aside from the introduction (and re-introduction) of a huge slate of characters, the studio doubled down on TV productions, which gave viewers something new to check out every few months. For the future, however, Marvel boss Kevin Feige reveals that Marvel’s rollout of titles won’t happen quite the same way again.

Akiva Goldsman is returning to Warner Bros in a multi-year first-look deal, with a focus on the Keanu Reeves-starring Constantine sequel, Deadline has reported. The producer-writer is set to get the wheels rolling on the feature along with Reeves, Francis Lawrence, who is set to direct again, and JJ Abrams, who was previously attached to a Constantine reboot, which stood canceled.

Raquel Welch is dead at the age of 82. Her manager Steve Sauer broke the news to People.

Widely known as a “sex symbol” in the 1960s, when her beauty and iconic fur bikini was practically the sole selling point of the hit film “One Million Years B.C.,” Welch became something much more in her later years.

Born in Chicago and raised in San Diego, Welch was the daughter of an immigrant from Bolivia. Her journey through Hollywood in the ’60s and beyond represents the fraught evolution of representation on the big screen. Married at 18, the girl originally named Jo Raquel Tejada kept her husband’s Anglo name even after her separation from him in her bid to make it big in Hollywood — and avoid the typecasting of Latina actresses typical of the time.

Having won beauty pageants since the age of 14, Welch studied theater at San Diego State College, and worked as a cocktail waitress,

The first trailer for the highly-anticipated yet controversial new DC film The Flash teased the return of many iconic characters from the history of DC adaptations, including iterations of Bruce Wayne played by Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck. While The Flash seems intent on using the freedom of the speedforce to bring back multiple characters from the past, the trailer also teased that in this alternate timeline, Michael Shannon’s version of General Zod is still alive. While Shannon is one of the greatest actors working today, he clearly has better things to do than show up for a needless role in a film universe that’s coming to a close. Did anyone really ask for more Zod content?

Raquel Welch, the actor who became an icon and sex symbol thanks to films like “One Million Years B.C.” and “Three Musketeers,” has died, her manager confirmed to Variety. She was 82.

She came onto the movie scene in 1966 with the sci-fi film “Fantastic Voyage” and the prehistoric adventure “One Million Years B.C.,” the latter of which established Welch as a sex symbol. The actor went on to appear in the controversial adaptation of Gore Vidal’s “Myra Beckrinridge,” “Kansas City Bomber” and Richard Lester’s delightful romps “The Three Musketeers” (1973) and “The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge” (1974). She was one of the first women to play the lead role — not the romantic interest — in a Western, 1971 revenge tale “Hannie Caulder” — an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” (2003), according to the director.

(Earlier, Marlene Dietrich and Joan Crawford toplined 1952’s “Rancho Notorious” and 1954’s “Johnny Guitar,” respectively, but these were Western

There are two major, notable exterior locations in Richard Marquand's 1983 sci-fi romp "Return of the Jedi." In the early scenes of the film, the dashing pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford) must be rescued from a crime lord's desert palace where he has been frozen in stasis and hung on the wall as a trophy. The scene's desert exteriors were shot in Arizona, in a part of the desert called Buttercup Valley. In the climax of the desert scenes, a full-size floating skiff -- the pleasure barge of the evil Jabba the Hutt -- was blown up. To this day, one can visit the filming site and potentially find pieces of the barge, or of the Sarlacc, the film's pit-like desert monster. 

The other notable location was the massive redwood forests located in Northern California. The "Jedi" locations were notable, as it was the first time a "Star Wars" movie

Actor Paul Mescal has been on a steady rise with his consistent complex and acclaimed performances. The actor bagged his maiden Oscar nomination for Charlotte Wells’ coming-of-age drama Aftersun. The actor is set to follow that performance with another layered character Brian in Saela Davis & Anna Rose Holmer-directed feature God’s Creatures. In a new interview with Empire Magazine, Holmer spoke about Mescal’s physical performance and showcased an exclusive image.

The combination of AMC and Bob Odenkirk has proved to be a recipe for success for quite some time, as the "Better Call Saul" star helped provide the network with one of their most successful shows in history. Fortunately, before we had a chance to mourn the loss of our favorite ace attorney, AMC announced that Odenkirk was set to star in a new eight-episode series called "Lucky Hank," based on the 1997 novel "Straight Man" by Richard Russo. Odenkirk has been teasing for months that "Lucky Hank" has some huge differences compared to "Better Call Saul," but after a handful of teasers and some exclusive-look images, AMC has released a trailer for the series that shows Odenkirk in all of his grouchy, bitter, boomer-dealing-with-gen-z, glory.

He plays William Henry Devereaux Jr., the interim head of the Railton College English department who is thrown into a new role at the struggling

(For the 30th anniversary of Sam Raimi's "Army of Darkness," we're looking back at some scary and funny anecdotes about the movie this week.)

Sequels -- especially horror ones -- have a bad reputation for repeating the original story. Part of this has to do with the rise of slashers during the 1980s. When the audience is there to see Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger, it's easy to follow the same beats of them killing teenagers in movie after movie, with only the window dressing changed.

However, the '80s were also the decade of Raimi's "Evil Dead," one of the wildest horror franchises out there. Now, "Evil Dead II" does have a similar story to the original — Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) and co. are stuck in a cabin in the woods, menaced by undead summoned via the Necromonicon. The sequel opens with an abbreviated version of the first film's events.

Marvel may have given Ant-Man the limelight when introducing its micro heroes into the MCU, but it’s really The Wasp who was the bigger deal when The Avengers first banded together in Marvel Comics. Hope Van Dyne (played on screen by Evangeline Lilly) plays a prominent role in the Ant-Man & The Wasp films, as well as in the upcoming Marvel film, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. But who is The Wasp and just how comic book accurate is she within the MCU?

With the recent premieres of movies like The Good Nurse, Barbarian, and Death on the Nile, it’s easy to see that genres like crime, thriller, and mystery are still just as relevant as ever. Mystery movies are especially having a renaissance, with massively popular recent entries in the genre like Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery proving renewed interest in the whodunit formula.
