The 32-year-old actor -- who bears an uncanny resemblance to his father Bill Pullman -- delivers a captivatingly (super)human performance in the Marvel Studios thriller, playing the role of wayward drug-addict-turned-superpowered-villain-then-Avenger Robert Reynolds.

Tom Cruise is back in the streaming spotlight – and this time, he’s bringing courtroom fireworks with him. A Few Good Men, the 1992 legal thriller that delivered one of the most iconic movie lines in history, is currently #3 on Tubi and climbing. Thanks to a new batch of free titles on the platform this month, the classic drama has found a whole new audience – and proved once again that a great script, a stacked cast, and one unforgettable shouting match in a courtroom never go out of style. You want a free Tom Cruise 1990s classic movie? You can’t Handle a free Tom Cruise 1990s classic movie. Well, you probably can, we just couldn't help ourselves.

The film stars Cruise as Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee, a smart but underachieving Navy lawyer assigned to defend two Marines accused of murder at Guantánamo Bay. He’s joined by Demi Moore as Lieutenant...

Production spend in the UK in the first quarter of 2025 was nearly three times the spend of the equivalent period in 2024, according to figures published today (May 1) by the BFI.

The number of films starting principal photography during the first quarter of 2025 was 37, 15 more than was first reported for the first quarter of 2024, with a production spend of £632m.

This is the third highest first quarter since records began in 2003, and nearly three times the £211m that was reported for Q1 2024 productions.

There were 15 inward investment films in production in Q1 2025, with a UK spend of £592m (94% of the total...

Our time on this planet is agonizingly brief, which, among other bummers, means that we'll leave loads of great movies unwatched. Ultimately, you've got to prioritize which filmmakers and types of films matter the most to you, while, and this is crucial, making sure you block out time to screen movies that are well out of your wheelhouse. Dive into the wilds of experimental cinema. Explore the many modes of African filmmaking. Acquaint yourself with Italian neorealism. The broader your horizons, the better you understand the lives and struggles of people in places you may never personally visit. As Roger Ebert once noted, movies are "empathy machines." Also, you might just find a new favorite filmmaker along the way (like I did with Chadian director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun via The Criterion Channel).

You should always be craving new experiences, but, let's face it, sometimes... Okay, a lot of the time you...

Exclusive: Jessica Alba (Trigger Warning) has signed on to lead action thriller The Mark, a spy flick set to begin production in Australia in July.

In the film from director Justin Chadwick (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), Alba plays Eden, an enigmatic spy on a covert and dangerous mission. When Eden pulls single father Ben Dawson into her world of high-stakes espionage, his life is turned upside down. Mistaken for the world’s deadliest assassin, Ben becomes the perfect decoy for Eden. She uses the mix-up to expose a powerful network of corrupt politicians, placing Ben in the crosshairs of the CIA, Interpol, and ruthless crime syndicates. With enemies closing in from all sides, Eden must keep Ben alive long enough to complete her mission — while Ben must summon his inner action hero to stay alive and return to the person who matters most: his daughter.

Ronnie Christensen penned the script.

Kiefer Sutherland can play the protagonist in the story, like Jack Bauer from 24 or Tom Kirkman from Designated Survivor. And he can easily slip into a cruel antagonist, like David from The Lost Boys or Freddie Lee Cobb from A Time to Kill. The variety of roles in Sutherland’s filmography, spread over more than four decades, speaks volumes about the actor.

However, there is one role for which we never appreciated Sutherland enough. In 1992, Sutherland took on the supporting role alongside the likes of Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, and Kevin Bacon in A Few Good Men. He had a limited role in the film as Lt Jonathan Kendrick, but this villain performance of the actor was different from his others.

Why did TV fans have such a hard time believing that some of their favorite characters were just killed off? Because so many TV shows like “Game of Thrones,” “Supernatural” and “The X-Files” have brought back supposedly dead characters so often that the word “dead” has kind of lost all meaning in genre TV.

As for “9-1-1,” which killed off beloved fire captain Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) last week, the series’ first responders were routinely saved from certain death over and over in the previous seven seasons, that it seemed like none of them could ever really die.

Whether the fans, or the plot, demanded it, here are 11 onscreen deaths that were reversed by magic, rewritten or simply retconned away. Naturally, beware, there are lots of spoilers below.

Kiefer Sutherland’s 24 ran for 9 seasons on Fox, followed by a short-lived spin-off series, 24: Legacy. Sutherland plays counter-terrorist federal agent Jack Bauer, who uses any means necessary to protect the country. Bauer takes things too far in the series, using inhumane torture to get information out of criminals and terrorists.

However, Sutherland doesn’t personally support such measures and is often annoyed when people accuse his show of inspiring torture techniques. He once shared that he refused to meet a delegation from West Point who claimed that the show had negative consequences on military training.

2025 has been a relatively disappointing year for film thus far. Between big-budget disappointments like “Captain America: Brave New World” and underwhelming genre breakouts like “Death of a Unicorn” and “Opus,” it’s hard to feel like the first few months of the year will be anything but a miserable period of time to be a cinephile. Nonetheless, Ryan Coogler was finally given the freedom to make a completely original genre film with “Sinners,” and to no one’s surprise, managed to capture the popular culture zeitgeist with an inventive mix of action, scares, humor, and heart.

“Sinners” is in many ways the ideal cinematic experience. While there’s enough substance within Coogler’s social and historical commentary to appease those who seek a deeper experience, the film is also entertaining as a crowd pleaser, so it should still be entertaining for those who are only wanting to see action and suspense.

One of the reasons “The Pitt” is so terrific is because it plays out in real time. It’s not the first show to use the immersive storytelling approach, so if you’re craving more real-time rushes like the HBO hit delivers, these shows should fit the bill.

Start with the save-the-world spying heroics of Jack Bauer in “24,” binge Netflix’s nail-biting true crime series “Adolescence,” and maybe catch up with a few TV series like “Grey’s Anatomy” that used the ticking clock device in one memorable episode.

“Events take place in real time,” Kiefer Sutherland told us in his trademark rasp at the start of every episode of this action-packed series that played out in one day over each season. (Back when TV seasons used to have 24 episodes.) He played Counter Terrorist Unit Jack Bauer for 9 seasons and the 2008 follow-up film “24: Redemption,...

Last month, fans got their hands on the new book in the ‘Hunger Game’ series from author Suzanne Collins. The book served to show the events that transpired prior to ‘Hunger Games.’

For example, ‘Sunrise On the Reaping’ kicks off with the 50th edition of the games, whilst Katniss participated in the 74th edition. Just like in ‘A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,’ we’ll be meeting characters we originally got acquainted with in ‘Hunger Games.’

The catch is that it will be the younger versions, so their vices and drives will be different from what it is in ‘Hunger Games.’ Production for this latest addition to the world of ‘Hunger Games’ is already underway, and with it, comes the casting news. Here’s what we know so far about who’s playing who.

For those who have never hit Tampa’s Spookala, a fantastic and quickly-growing convention that’s home to numerous horror-related guests and a massive hall full of cool vendors, consider it a great reason to weather the heat, humidity, gators and bath salt zombies the state is generally known for.

This past weekend’s con saw fans enjoying autograph and photo opportunities with genre heavyweights like Saw’s Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith, Count Crowley’s David Dastmalchian (super nice guy), and The Punisher’s Thomas Jane (returning to the area for the first time in the two decades since that film was made). In addition, The Lost Boys’ Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric were in attendance, as well as Orphan/Orphan: First Kill star Isabelle Fuhrman.

The Hunger Games franchise continues. Although the original story is over and Katniss and Peeta don't need additional pain and trauma, the franchise has continued through prequels delving deeper into Panem's history.

In 2020, author Suzanne Collins returned with a prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, set 64 years before the events of the first novel. The novel was adapted in 2023 with Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler in the leading roles. In 2024, another novel was announced, Sunrise on the Reaping, which premiered recently. At the same time as the novel announcement came the adaptation news, which is set to release next year, and fans have thoughts regarding the latest rumored casting.

Sunrise on the Reaping will follow Haymitch Abernathy, the fan-favorite character from the original series. He was Katniss' mentor and one of the few District 12 winners. He had participated in the 50th annual Hunger Games.

Kiefer Sutherland fought his way through Hollywood to reach the stage of being called one of the finest stars that the entertainment industry has ever seen, with iconic projects like 24 and Designated Survivor.

Although these projects were the ones that gave fame to Sutherland’s name, there were some things that the actor was unable to do in each one. That is why Kiefer Sutherland agreed to take part in a remake of a 1993 Oscar-winning Harrison Ford film.

In 1993, veteran stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones starred in a spectacular film called The Fugitive (which in turn was a remake of a 1963 TV show by the same name). The film won an Oscar in 1994.

Well, before 2020, it was planned...

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping may have found its Coriolanus Snow in Ralph Fiennes. Having established a career out of playing iconic characters, he's now a frontrunner to play The Hunger Games villain.

Ralph Fiennes is reportedly in talks to play Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.Daniel Richtman dropped the scoop on X (per The Hollywood Handle), prompting fans to heavily debate the casting. Following The Hunger Games' prequel announcement, Fiennes joined the top picks for the part in fan castings, along with Joel Edgerton, Daniel Craig, and Hugo Weaving. Fiennes' impressive career includes villain roles in Schindler's List, the Harry Potter films, and Red Dragon; while that's ample endorsement of Fiennes as Snow, some fans thought Keifer Sutherland was better-suited for the role.

Val Kilmer’s unforgettable roles in Top Gun, Batman Forever, and The Doors have solidified him as one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors. But was he really in The Lost Boys? Even a career as legendary as his wasn’t enough to shield Jesse Watters from a recent embarrassing blunder on live television.

On a recent segment, Fox News anchor Watters, during a tribute to Kilmer following his passing, made a critical error that quickly became the talk of social media. What was meant to be a respectable tribute to the late actor turned into an awkward moment that left many scratching their heads and laughing at the same time.

In the fast-paced world of live television, slip-ups are inevitable, but some mistakes often stand out as particularly memorable.

Let’s imagine you’re sitting in a theater, popcorn in hand, eyes glued to the screen as the villain strikes. But wait—what’s that in their hand? An iPhone? Well, if you’ve ever noticed the absence of Apple’s signature products in the hands of bad guys on screen, you’re not alone. Some say it’s all part of Apple’s ‘No Villain Clause’—a whispered rule that bans the bad guys from using Apple products in movies and TV shows.

Some movies age like fine wine, while others age like milk left out in the sun. But once in a while, a film that was dismissed before finds a second life in the streaming era. Recently, Michael Douglas’ starrer, The Sentinel, has been that movie on Netflix!

The action thriller Locked, directed by David Yarovesky and starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, is a survival thriller that utilizes primarily one location to sell its story of someone teaching another character about the consequences of their actions and lifestyle. Its premise immediately sparked memories of Joel Schumacher's 2002 psychological thriller Phone Booth, a film that also took its main subject, trapped him in a single location, and used another mostly unseen character to teach a lesson in how our actions can be called to the floor for judgment. Schumacher's thriller remains an underrated effort today and one that does the most with escalating high tension by utilizing limited space and top-notch performances.

Directed by Schumacher and written by Larry Cohen, Phone Booth follows a young and arrogant publicist named Stuart Shepard (Colin Farrell) who has been setting up an affair with his client Pamela McFadden (Katie Holmes...

James Spader played the role of Raymond “Red” Reddington in the hit crime-drama series The Blacklist. The series ran for ten seasons and emerged as a ratings success, becoming another glowing entry in Spader’s illustrious filmography. However, the veteran actor wasn’t the first choice for the part of the iconic fugitive turned informant.

During an interview, the show’s executive producer John Eisendrath opened up about the casting process for the role of Red and revealed that Spader wasn’t the first choice. As a result, fans must be surprised to learn that four different actors were considered for the part before the creative team eventually managed to convince Spader. Here is everything you need to know about James Spader’s casting in The Blacklist.

In 1982, a visionary sci-fi future noir film called Blade Runner opened in theatres and bombed. Years later, it not only developed a cult following, but critics also cite it as one of the greatest and most influential science fiction films of all time. In 1998, Alex Proyas’ Dark City had a similar release and reception. Audiences balked, but critics recognized the film as a visionary masterpiece. Roger Ebert named it the best film of the year.

Now, almost 30 years later, Dark City has undergone a renaissance similar to that of Blade Runner. In addition to an ardent cult following, audiences have discovered the power of the film. Critics recognize it as one of the greatest sci-fi movies, the legacy of which continues to this day. With undeniable influence, rich atmosphere and provocative philosophy, it too deserves a place in the Great Movies canon.

There may be trouble in "Paradise," but that's just how we like it. The hit Hulu series (created by "This Is Us" showrunner Dan Fogelman) landed on the streamer in 2025 to positive reviews and much buzz, quickly making a case for itself as one of James Marsden's best TV shows ever. The "X-Men" alum plays slain U.S. President Cal Bradford, whose sudden death sends Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) on a winding mystery through a post-apocalyptic America.

Along the way, Xavier comes across hidden clues, government secrets, and deep state conspiracies, all hallmarks of a story rooted in a subgenre that is perhaps the guiltiest of pleasures -- the speculative political thriller. Stories under this umbrella can just as easily be titillating, smartly written, and dramatically engrossing as they are oblivious, self-important, and totally ridiculous. Sometimes, a story can be all these things at once,...

Portraying Jack Bauer in 24, Kiefer Sutherland has cemented a legacy that is not only a highlight of his illustrious acting career but has also left a lasting mark on television. Establishing such a legacy has been the result of the actor’s strong commitment to his role, which often blurred the lines between him and his iconic character.

Amid the successful run of the TV series, Sutherland often spent considerable time in makeup to have his character’s tattoo applied. To streamline the process, he ultimately decided to get the same tattoo himself, permanently embodying a piece of Jack Bauer in real life.

After years of rumours, it looks like Young Guns 3 is finally happening. Emilio Estevez confirmed the news himself at Film and Media Day at the New Mexico State Capitol. “We’ve started the ball rolling on Young Guns 3,” with him adding, ”I’ve heard all the jokes: Old Guns, Ancient Guns. You can hold on to those.” In an official press release from the office of New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the film’s title was listed as Young Guns 3: Dead or Alive, with it further revealed Estevez would be directing the film himself (on location in New Mexico), having also co-written the script with franchise regular John Fusco.

The Star Wars franchise is known for giving some actors their most famous roles, making them synonymous with their onscreen counterparts. As a result, these actors often find it hard to continue their acting careers outside the franchise, with some even opting to step away from the profession. However, for Freddie Prinze Jr, it was a different role that led him to quit acting.

During an interview, Prinze Jr discussed working with 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. However, the Star Wars Rebels actor admitted to not having a pleasant experience with the latter, citing it as one of the primary reasons he has had very few mainstream acting credits in the past decade. Here is why Freddie Prinze Jr decided to quit acting after working with Kiefer Sutherland.

Tom Cruise reached a milestone early in his career with 1992's A Few Good Men. The acclaimed legal drama added another genre to his impressive range of films.

Tubi is streaming 1992's A Few Good Men for free this April. This legal drama had a stacked ensemble led by Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kiefer Sutherland, J.T. Walsh, and Kevin Bacon. The film was a box office hit, grossing $243 million against a $40 million budget. It also set a benchmark for the genre with its tense narrative and pacing, and the entire cast's performance was gripping. Released after Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, and Far and Away, A Few Good Men also showcased Cruise's serious acting. It's also a breakout film for Demi Moore, who up to that point was known for romantic dramas and rom-coms.

The 24 franchise has become one of the most popular action franchises of all time, and a major chunk of this recognition and fame goes to none other than Kiefer Sutherland. This is because the actor immaculately embodied the lead role of Jack Bauer for more than a decade, giving such an epic performance that we fans aren’t willing to have anyone else in the role anymore.

Then again, reboots of such major sagas are only inevitable, and for one as successful and fan-beloved as this respective one, it doesn’t sound like a bad idea as it will make a lot of fans’ wishes come true. But while that’s that, I’m convinced no one could replace Sutherland and work in his place better than the actor himself, especially after his remark on his 24 journey.

Kiefer Sutherland has really set the bar...

Regulators, mount up! Young Guns, the beloved Western series that began in 1988, is finally back after 35 years, as star Emilio Estevez officially announced yesterday that Young Guns 3: Dead or Alive will film in New Mexico. The best part? Estevez will not only be returning as Billy the Kid in front of the camera, but he'll also be directing the latest installment, which will also feature original cast member Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christian Slater, who appeared in Young Guns 2 in 1990.

Estevez made the announcement yesterday during Film and Media Day at the State Capitol in Santa Fe along with New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. "The original Young Guns films showcased New Mexico's stunning landscapes to the world and helped establish our state as a premier filming destination," she said, adding:

Young Guns 3: Dead or Alive will add to this legacy, further solidifying New Mexico’s place in the national film industry.

Kiefer Sutherland was best known as one of the young ones in Stand By Me before he hit it big with the show 24. Playing Jack Bauer, a federal agent tasked with thwarting a terrorist threat within 24 hours, Sutherland became a household name and his character became one of the most celebrated agents in pop culture.

However, Sutherland is one of the few actors who got to own yet another action-oriented character on TV. He starred as the reluctant President Thomas Kirkman in Designated Survivor, which unfortunately did not enjoy the longevity of 24 despite his character’s similarity to Bauer.

For nine seasons spread across the course of almost a decade, 24 has ruled the screens and fans’ hearts with some of the most epic plotlines ever, with Kiefer Sutherland at the center of it as the leading protagonist Jack Bauer. Throughout its run, it picked up a lot of other actors and characters too, and Freddie Prinze Jr. was yet another one of them.

Playing a character among the lead cast, Prinze Jr. was a part of the smash-hit saga for one whole season—except that it all didn’t really pan out all too well for him: He openly confessed to hating working with Sutherland all the while trash-talking about his experience on the series. In fact, he hated it so much that he even claimed Vince McMahon was a better partner than Sutherland!

Freddie Prinze Jr. hated working on 24 with Kiefer Sutherland Sutherland and Prinze Jr.

Kiefer Sutherland has starred in innumerable projects over the course of the past few decades that he has been a part of the entertainment industry, but the 24 franchise still manages to top the list. Among all of his uncountable acting credits over the years, he has pulled off the role of Jack Bauer so exceptionally that there’s no one else fans would want to see in the role.

That said, when it comes to the respective character that he embodied for more than a decade and has even won a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe for, Sutherland is more than just open to return to the screens in yet another action-filled masterpiece. But while he aims to come back, the actor also has a rather upsetting update on the franchise’s revival and his return.

Kiefer Sutherland has an upsetting...

Actor, director, and producer Kiefer Sutherland has been attached to a variety of popular and well-received projects in the Hollywood industry. From his iconic role as Ace Merrill in the cult classic film Stand by Me to Tom Kirkman in the hit series Designated Survivor, it is clear that Sutherland, like his late father, possesses a profound talent. Although Kiefer's films encompass nearly every genre, many of them fall into the categories of action, adventure, and thriller. One such project, which Donald Sutherland also stars in, encompasses the action genre while adding Western elements that 1923 fans are sure to enjoy.

While audiences typically associate the Western genre with lone gunslingers like Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name, it also has a rich history of team-up stories. With countless stories focusing on the work of iconic lawmen, bounty hunters, and gangs of outlaws, these movies typically explore themes of revenge and friendship. These movies have proven every bit as influential and enduring as others, allowing for comedy and levity in a way lone gunfighter movies don't.

Team-up Westerns have brought the genre some of its best ensemble casts, with stars like Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, and Charlie Sheen stepping into the role of gunslinger. While these movies don't always receive the box office success they deserve, they have brought a unique dynamic and sense of adventure to the genre. From John Wayne classics to '80s buddy movies, these all deserve a look.

Kiefer Sutherland has been a renowned name in Hollywood since the late 1980s, but his best-known role to date remains that of Counter Terrorism agent Jack Bauer in his thriller television series 24. Throughout the years that the show aired on the screens, from 2001 to 2014, he perfectly aced his performance to the point where fans now can’t imagine anyone else in his role.

That said, it’s only understandable that fans want him back to reprise his role in a revival series from the franchise. And the actor, for one, is still interested in discovering that idea further, but he also has a better opinion for a revival series that could continue without him for years: An anthological series on different people, allowing him to take a break while continuing the franchise.

Imagine being so talented that voicing gaming’s gruffest super-soldier is just your side gig. That’s David Hayter for you—the man who’s been living rent-free in gamers’ heads as Solid Snake while secretly moonlighting as Hollywood’s superhero whisperer.

But while you were busy sneaking around Shadow Moses Island, Hayter was quietly penning what some consider the greatest superhero movie ever made. And no, we’re not talking about some obscure indie flick that only “true cinema” snobs pretend to understand. We’re talking about a bona fide blockbuster that hit screens a full decade before Avengers: Endgame had us all ugly crying in theaters.

Roger Ebert — the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism — always tried his best to be fair in his reviews. He might have gotten a few things wrong about some movies and dispensed a bit of corrosive advice that some filmmakers took to heart but he could be counted on to give the most accurate assessments throughout his 46-year stint as a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Consequently, he earned the admiration of both fans and fellow critics, including his equally talented critic buddy Gene Siskel, who was ever happy to leave the spotlight to him.

The late filmmaker David Lynch's iconic TV series Twin Peaksrevolves principally around a simple question: Who killed Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee)? However, as the show's protagonist, FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), soon learns, answering this question is impossible without first answering a far broader question: Who was Laura Palmer? To that end, Cooper spends the show's entire first season and part of its second season gradually becoming acquainted with each of Twin Peaks' colorfully eccentric residents, learning everything he can about Laura's life and relationships in hopes of finding her killer - which he ultimately (and controversially) does.

Yet, despite the vast amount of information that the show reveals about Laura, one perspective remains noticeably absent from the show: that of Laura herself. While Lynch would partially rectify this omission in his polarizing prequel film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), which depicts the terrifying final week of Laura's life,...

Zero Day is one of Netflix's most popular and talked about shows at the moment, which doesn't come as a surprise given its compelling storyline and amazingly talented cast. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show starring big names such as Robert De Niro, Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, etc.?

The entire first season of the new political thriller dropped on Netflix on Feb. 20, and with just six episodes, it didn't take long for viewers to binge-watch the whole installment. As expected, many rushed to search for details about a potential second season. However, they may not find the news they were hoping for. With Zero Day being billed as a limited series, the chances of it returning with a new season are slim, as its storyline is intended to be a self-contained narrative.

While this is disappointing news, there's no need to fret...
