A little over a year ago, it was reported that Noah Baumbach has been tapped to helm his fourth project with Netflix after Marriage Story, White Noise and The Meyerowitz Stories. Plot details are still kept under wraps and it was only this past January that Netflix revealed the title of the film will be Jay Kelly. Baumbach directs the film from a screenplay written by him and the movie’s co-star, Emily Mortimer. Baumbach reunites with his Meyerowitz Stories star Adam Sandler and pairs him up with George Clooney. Netflix continues to dole out the details of the film little by little and today, we are treated to a single image of the film. Take a gander below.

The only description given for the plot reads, “It’s a heartbreaking comedy from Noah Baumbach starring George Clooney,...

Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach’s new film starring George Clooney, will head into cinemas before debuting on Netflix next December.

Back in 2024, we reported that writer-director Noah Baumbach was working with Netflix for the fourth time with his new film Jay Kelly. There hasn’t been much to report on the project since then, but Netflix has now officially announced when we can expect Jay to hit our screens.

The movie, clearly an Oscar hopeful, will head into US and UK cinemas on 14th November for a short run before Jay Kelly debuts on Netflix on 5th December.

The movie stars George Clooney as the title character and Netflix has also released a first still from the film with Clooney deep in thought, which you can see at the top of this page. Plot details are still scarce but according to Deadline, the film’s tagline suggests that everyone knows Jay Kelly,...

Netflix is introducing the world to Jay Kelly.

On Tuesday, the streaming service released fresh information about Noah Baumbach’s new movie, Jay Kelly, including its release date and a first photo of star George Clooney as the title character.

Jay Kelly will premiere in select theaters on Nov. 14 before streaming on Netflix on Dec. 5.

Long-rumored to be a coming-of-age movie about adults, the official logline for Jay Kelly is slightly more vague: “Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn't know himself.”

In the first photo from the movie, Clooney’s Jay Kelly stands in front of a photograph of Jay Kelly, suggesting that the world-famous celebrity is playing a world-famous celebrity.

Baumbach cowrote the movie with Emily Mortimer, who costars in the feature. Other members of the ensemble include Adam Sandler, Billy Crudup, Laura Dern, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Patrick Wilson, Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Jim Broadbent,...

Netflix announced this morning that Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach’s new film starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, is slated for release in theaters on November 14 and will debut on streaming on December 5.

The service also unveiled a first-look still of Clooney as the title character, which you can view below.

In announcing Jay Kelly, Netflix referred to the project as a “heartbreaking comedy,” though little about the project is known apart from that. Per the logline, everybody knows Jay Kelly…but Jay Kelly doesn’t know himself.

Baumbach wrote the script for the pic — marking his fourth outing with Netflix — with Emily Mortimer, one of many others featuring in the ensemble. He also produced the film alongside David Heyman and Amy Pascal, the duo who recently inked a deal to produce the next Bond film at Amazon MGM. Additional cast includes Billy Crudup, Laura Dern, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach,...

Cannes may be right around the corner, but the last few weeks have seen several highly anticipated prestige films set their release date stakes in the ground. You can now add another title to that list, Noah Baumbach’s “Jay Kelly.” The George Clooney and Adam Sandler-starring dramedy will arrive in theaters on November 14 and then stream on Netflix beginning on December 5.

Noah Baumbach is getting back in the awards race, and he’s bringing a star-studded cast including George Clooney and Adam Sandler.

Netflix has announced that Baumbach’s upcoming feature “Jay Kelly” will open in theaters on November 14 before hitting the streaming service on December 5. The announcement was accompanied by a photo of Clooney, who plays the title character, walking past a poster of himself.

“Jay Kelly” appears to be a return to the familiar territory of middle aged neuroses for Baumbach, following the apocalyptic ambition of his previous feature, “White Noise.” While little is known about the film’s plot, it is believed to center around the relationship between Clooney’s eponymous character and a longtime friend played by Sandler. A cryptic official synopsis reads “Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn’t know himself.”

In addition to Clooney and Sandler, “Jay Kelly” stars Billy Crudup, Laura Dern,...

The new Netflix feature starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler is set for theatrical release during the prime awards-season corridor.

Director Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly will hit theaters Nov. 14 before it begins streaming three weeks later on Dec. 5. Baumbach helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Emily Mortimer, and a first-look image of Clooney in the project can be seen above.

Mortimer co-stars in the film that boasts an ensemble cast of Billy Crudup, Laura Dern, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Patrick Wilson, Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Jim Broadbent, Eve Hewson, Alba Rohrwacher, Lenny Henry, Josh Hamilton and Greta Gerwig.

Limited plot details have been shared about the feature that centers on the titular character, who is well-known but has a lot to still learn about himself. Baumbach, David Heyman and Amy Pascal serve as producers.

Sometimes when I make a video on one of my favorite movies, I find something a little extra upon further viewing. Obviously, there is some research that goes into it as I like to look up what else the writer, director, or actors did or even what possible sequels there are. Class of 1984 is one of my favorite horror adjacent titles out there from the script by Tom Holland and great performances from Roddy McDowell, Perry King, and all of the main gang members. It shows the very real fears of what teachers in bad areas could potentially deal with, only with the knob turned all the way to 11 and it’s immensely rewatchable. While I had heard that there were sequels to the movie, I wrote them off as cash-ins, especially since they were quite a bit after, and the movie was fine as a standalone. Then I...

Happy Gilmore star Adam Sandler could be all set for Oscar glory with his new movie. Sadly, no, it’s not Happy Gilmore 2. The beloved actor and comedian will reunite with Netflix once again for an upcoming coming-of-age comedy-drama, with a source who's seen the movie revealing that, not only will the streamer campaign hard for Sandler to be considered by the Academy, but that could even win a coveted golden statue.

Titled Jay Kelly, the movie is being helmed by Academy Award nominee and Marriage Story director Noah Baumbach, and could be described as a coming-of-middle-age comedy as it follows friends, played by Sandler and George Clooney, who rediscover their youthful spirit during a chaotic reunion.

Now, buzz from an early screening (via World of Reel) has emerged, with “industry sources, journalists, and test reports” stating that Sandler steals the show in Jay Kelly, with the Billy Madison star delivering a career-best performance.

The Fithian Group, founded by former top exhibition lobbyists John Fithian, Patrick Corcoran, and Jackie Brenneman, said on Wednesday that Lost & Found In Cleveland will be the first feature from the beta development phase of its theatrical distribution and online digital marketplace Attend.

The holiday season comedy from Marisa Guterman and Keith Gerchak will open nationwide on November 7 and gets a 45-day exclusive theatrical window –the minimum length called for by exhibitors at CinemaCon last week.

The Fithian Group is in the early stages of booking theatres and aims to migrate the process to Attend’s suite of automated tools.

The late Val Kilmer had a couple of Disney connections fans may have forgotten about!

It’s always sad when a major star passes away at a seemingly too young age. Val Kilmer may have fallen from his 1990s limelight, but it was still jarring to his many fans to hear the actor had passed away at the age of 65 on April 1 after a long battle with throat cancer and pneumonia.

The actor debuted in the 1984 cult comedy Top Secret! That led to turns in Real Genius before his star-making role as Iceman in the 1986 smash Top Gun. After that, Kilmer was a much-in-demand actor starring in numerous hits, including a turn as the Caped Crusader in Batman Forever as well as Heat, The Saint, The Ghost, and the Darkness, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and more.

Kilmer was, by his own admission, a temperamental man who could cause some messes on set.

The following contains major spoilers from NCIS: Origins Season 1, Episode 14, "To Have and To Hold," which debuted Monday, March 23 on CBS. It also contains discussion of pregnancy loss.

NCIS: Origins Season 1, Episode 14, "To Have and To Hold" is one of the best episodes of the season -- even if Leroy Jethro Gibbs is hardly in it. The CBS prequel also been telling the origin stories of all the Nis team members, not just Gibbs, and this time it's Mary Jo Hayes' turn in the spotlight. Actor Tyla Abercrumbie rises to the occasion, showing an emotional side of Mary Jo that viewers rarely get to see as they fall in love with her all over again.

"To Have and to Hold" does have a case to close, involving the disappearance of a Marine wife. But that becomes almost secondary to Mary Jo's personal life, as her estranged husband Marcus files for divorce.

George Clooney is arguably one of the most popular leading men in Hollywood. However, the actor says he no longer has much interest in the romance genre.

"Look, I'm 63 years old. I'm not trying to compete with 25-year-old leading men," Clooney told 60 Minutes. That's not my job. I'm not doing romantic films anymore," he added. The actor is currently preparing for his Broadway debut in the upcoming production of Good Night, and Good Luck. The stage play is adapted from the 2005 film of the same name which starred David Strathairn as the newsman.

Clooney, who appeared in the movie as Fred Friendly, co-wrote the play with Grant Heslov. When asked if he wished he had made the move to Broadway sooner, the actor was candid with his response. "I don't know that I could have. I didn't do the work required to get there," he explained. "There isn't a...

John Travolta is an iconic actor, but his career has taken various twists and turns. The actor rose to stardom in the 1970s when he played a role in the television series Welcome Back, Kotter. His TV fame helped land him his iconic role in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, playing smooth-dancing Tony Manero. Soon, Travolta portrayed an equally notable role in the musical Grease as the leading male love interest, Danny Zuko. Travolta has been nominated for two Academy Awards for Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction.

Despite his status as an Academy Award nominee, Travolta has had plenty of misses in his career. The actor has had multiple movies score a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, including Look Who's Talking Now, Speed Kills, The Poison Rose, Staying Alive, and Life on the Line. While these scores were particularly lacking, he boasts a whole additional host of titles with single-digit scores,...

Ed Harris has had a long and storied career as an actor, earning high praise for his roles in Westworld, Snowpiercer, The Abyss, and The Truman Show. But he's also an accomplished director, having helmed and starred in the incredible Pollock (2000) about famed painter, Jackson Pollack, and Appaloosa (2008). Harris has been trying to get his next film off the ground, and recently spoke with Collider about its multi-year delay.

While promoting My Dead Friend Zoe, Harris explained the difficulties of getting his next movie, The Ploughman, made. He spoke about how tough it is to find money for an indie film, explaining:

"I haven't been able to get the financing together. It's an indie film that probably costs more than it should, and I’ve been trying to slash the budget down, but I don't want to make it on a shoestring because it deserves certain production values, so I don't know.

Joseph Wambaugh, the writer who mined his years as a Los Angeles Police Department patrolman for a series of bestselling crime books including The Onion Field, The New Centurions, The Blue Knight and The Glitter Dome, and whose literary works were adapted for feature films and television series, died today of esophageal cancer at his home in Rancho Mirage, California. He was 88.

His death was reported to The New York Times by a Wambaugh family friend.

In 1971, eleven years after joining the LAPD, Wambaugh saw his first novel, The New Centurions, published by Little, Brown and Co. The story of rookie LAPD cops in the early 1960s became his first bestseller and, the following year, the first movie based on his work. The film adaptation starred George C. Scott and Stacy Keach.

The New Centurions novel was followed by a string of police novels, including 1972’s The Blue Knight (later...

Joseph Wambaugh, who turned his experiences from 14 years with the Los Angeles Police Department into such gritty books as The Onion Field, The New Centurions, The Blue Knight and The Glitter Dome — all adapted for the screen — died Friday. He was 88.

Wambaugh, who also co-created the acclaimed 1970s anthology series Police Story for NBC, died at his home in Rancho Mirage of esophageal cancer, longtime family friend Janene Gant told The New York Times.

Wambaugh, who joined the LAPD as a patrolman in 1960, made a splash with his debut novel, The New Centurions, a sweeping tale that followed three young LAPD officers during a five-year period that led to the 1965 Watts riots. Published by Little, Brown and Co. in 1971, it was a hit, remaining on The New York Times Best Seller List for 32 weeks.

In his review for the Times, Thomas Fleming wrote: “Do you like cops? Read The New Centurions.

Adam Sandler and his production company Happy Maddison Productions are a powerhouse production company for Netflix. The actor, writer, and comedian has now been involved with close to two dozen projects, with many more on the way. As we’re now in 2025, here’s an updated guide to his output on the streamer and what’s coming next.

Sandler has been producing movies exclusively for Netflix for years now, with 2025 being a decade since the first project. His output includes 18 titles as of the end of 2024, consisting of twelve feature films, two stand-up specials, and a handful of movies produced by his banner, Happy Madison. The deal has existed for years, although it was renewed in January 2020 for at least four more feature films.

Let’s recap all of the Adam Sandler/Happy Madison movies released on Netflix exclusively so far. Those marked with an asterisk don’t star Sandler,...

Renowned director Noah Baumbach, who co-wrote the script for 2023's Barbie with his wife, Greta Gerwig, has a new project set to premiere on Netflix this year. The project, which has been in development for over a year, boasts a star-studded ensemble cast.

The movie, titled Jay Kelly, is set to premiere on Netflix sometime this fall. Although there are few details about what it's about, its star-studded cast is enough to tune in. Although Netflix has a history of not always delivering when putting together an A-list cast, Tudum reports the film will have Baumbach working with George Clooney and Adam Sandler in what's described as a "new, heartbreaking comedy."

A little over a year ago, it was reported that Noah Baumbach has been tapped to helm his fourth project with Netflix after Marriage Story, White Noise and The Meyerowitz Stories. He’ll be reuniting with Sandler and pairing the comedic actor with George Clooney for the new project. The details for the movie’s plot has yet to be revealed, but Baumbach is also on board as a producer on the movie. He will be joined by Sony’s Amy Pascal and David Heyman as producers. Heyman had also worked with Baumbach on Marriage Story and also produced Barbie.

While plot details are still kept under wraps, Deadline has revealed some new details that Netflix announced in their big presser. It is now known that the title for this project is Jay Kelly and it is slated to drop sometime in the fall, but an exact date has yet to be announced.

The new Noah Baumbach directed movie at Netflix has been titled Jay Kelly.

In addition the movie will drop on the streamer in the fall. Exact date to be announced in the future.

The announcement is part of several this morning following the streamer’s Next on Netflix presser yesterday.

As Deadline first told you, Baumbach’s latest stars a murderers’ row including George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Emily Mortimer, Patrick Wilson, Jim Broadbent, Eve Hewson and Alba Rohrwacher.

Baumbach and Emily Mortimer co-wrote Jay Kelly which is simply billed as a “heartbreaking comedy.”

January 16th is the birthday of legendary filmmaker John Carpenter, who turns 77 this year – and to mark the occasion, Shout Factory / Scream Factory is having a sale of John Carpenter Blu-rays! While the company has to apologize to later-era Carpenter fans because their 4K releases of his films Ghosts of Mars and Vampires are not included in this sale, the Blu-rays of Assault on Precinct 13, Someone’s Watching Me, Elvis, Starman, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, and Body Bags are.

The Assault on Precinct 13 Blu-ray usually sells for $15.99. For this sale, the price has been dropped to $9.99.

Ridley Scott claims that his debut 1977 movie would have won one of the biggest film prizes had it not been for $50K bribery. The English director is perhaps best known for his iconic sci-fi films, Alien and Blade Runner, which were only the second and third films of his career. A few years earlier, he made his feature directorial debut in 1977 with a lesser-known historical drama, his first in the genre before directing many more in Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, The Last Duel, and Napoleon.

Scott's later historical epic Gladiator did win arguably the biggest prize in film, the Academy Award for Best Picture, in 2001, while his 2016 sci-fi film The Martian was also nominated for the honor. Additionally, Scott has received an Oscar nomination for Best Director three times for Thelma & Louise, Gladiator, and Black Hawk Down. The director has also competed for another one of the biggest prizes in film several times,...

In “Lost & Found in Cleveland,” the backdrop of an antique show serves as both a catalyst for personal revelations and a reflection of a city struggling with its identity. A wide range of characters, each with hopes and fears, are introduced to us in the film. Dennis Haysbert’s mailman wants to open a restaurant to honor his late mother, and Stacy Keach and June Squibb play an older couple stuck in the twilight of their lives, tied together by memories and the fragility of time.

The characters are propelled toward a shared moment of reckoning as the narrative progresses by the impending arrival of the fictional appraisal show, which builds a palpable tension. The bringing together of these storylines is marked by several heartfelt interactions, like the touching scene where Keach’s character, stuck between the glories of the past and the realities of the present, faces his deteriorating memory.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is remembered for its funny dialogue and over-the-top gags, but as with all Michael Schur shows, there was a lot of heart as well. Over Brooklyn Nine-Nine's eight seasons, the squad became a found family, so it was deeply emotional when members of the team faced heightened or dangerous situations. As the show gained popularity by the middle of its run, the sitcom took time to address real-world issues like racial profiling and workplace sexual harassment.

Weaving in heavy topics while remaining true to its comedic core is a testament to the writers and cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) led the cast of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and his arc mimics the maturity of the show, especially in the later seasons when the show explored the detectives' personal lives. Later seasons also reflected a shift in cultural perspectives toward police work, leaning more into longer arcs about systematic corruption.

Blue Bloods is officially done. The beloved procedural drama wrapped up after 14 seasons on CBS, and unlike so many shows, it went out on top. The general consensus among fans is that the finale, "End of Tour," was a satisfying and emotionally rich conclusion. And the ratings proved it.

Blue Bloods has always been a steady ratings draw for CBS, but the finale went above and beyond in terms of connecting with viewers. Variety reported that "End of Tour" drew an impressive 6.68 million viewers, according to VideoAmp data. This is a 15% increase from season to season.

The show drew 5.86 viewers during its initial Friday time slot, which managed to surpass the already highly viewed season 14 finale. Blue Bloods also wiped the floor with other scripted dramas airing on the same night. Fire Country, one of the most promising new CBS dramas, only managed to bring in 4.54 viewers, by comparison.

Tom Selleck...

Donnie Wahlberg loves him some Blue Bloods. He's never been shy about his fandom for the show, nor the impact that it's had on his life. Danny Reagan will go down as Wahlberg's defining role, and he is understandably sad to see the show come to an end.

Blue Bloods is perhaps best known for its family dinner scenes, so emotions were always going to be high during the filming of the final dinner. Wahlberg recounted the experience during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He claimed that he was able to keep it together for the bulk of filming, but it was a gesture by co-star Tom Selleck that led to the emotions spilling out.

The following contains major spoilers from Blue Bloods Season 14, Episode 17, "Entitlement," which debuted Friday, Dec. 6 on CBS. It also contains discussion of suicide.

Blue Bloods Season 14, Episode 17, "Entitlement," would be a perfectly average episode in any other season. As the second-to-last installment of the entire show, though, it's a disappointment. None of the multiple storylines generate any real suspense for viewers, and while there isn't anything terrible about the proceedings, it's impossible not to want something more.

"Entitlement" has the majority of its plots connect to that concept in obvious ways. The Governor of New York wants Frank to use his power as police commissioner to do him a favor. The detectives investigate a "mean girl" suspected of killing her classmate at an all-girls school. And on the ground level, one of Jamie Reagan's informants decides to take full advantage of that title. Without any big moments or major character developments,...

"...the new film is described as a personal look at Napoleon’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor viewed through the prism of the addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, 'Josephine'.

"The film will also capture Napoleon’s famous battles, his relentless ambition, and astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader, war criminal and war visionary..."

Though it’s something of a backhanded paean to its eponymous city in question, the most enjoyable element to “Lost & Found in Cleveland” is its locations, locations, locations — cinematographer Davon Slininger’s widescreen images provide an appealing selective tour of a burg the film presents as quaintly lagging well behind the times. Otherwise, this slick if uninspired first feature for actors turned writer-directors Marisa Guterman and Keith Gerchak offers a pleasant-enough ensemble seriocomedy that straddles the terrains of Richard Curtis and Christopher Guest, without approaching either’s high points. The Newport Beach Fest world premiere’s familiar faces and story beats seem best suited to home viewing.

An opening montage to the retro pop of Bobby Darin singing “Artificial Flowers” — an incongruously brassy, “Mack the Knife”-like arrangement of a depressing slum-tragedy lyric from 1960 Broadway musical “Tenderloin” — introduces the characters, as well as a sense that this midwestern metropolis’ growth stalled some decades ago.

The following contains major spoilers for Blue Bloods Season 14, Episode 11, "Life Sentence," which debuted Friday, Oct. 18 on CBS.

Just like Frank Reagan runs the Reagan family, Tom Selleck dominates the return of Blue Bloods. Season 14, Episode 11, "Life Sentence" is the midseason premiere -- and the start of the long-running CBS drama's final episodes. As such, the script wants to tie the whole family into one case of the week, but it's the subplot involving Selleck's character Frank and returning guest star Stacy Keach that stands well above the rest of the proceedings.

"Life Sentence" seems to take its title from that story, in which Frank is surprised by Archbishop Kevin Kearns asking for his help on a murder case. Kearns wants to help the suspect avoid the death penalty... but Frank doesn't see the case the way he does. Meanwhile, Erin Reagan is randomly accused of jury tampering, which is...

Tom Selleck thanked CBS for the last eight episodes of popular family cop drama Blue Bloods that begin airing tonight and, when concluded, will mark the end of the show’s impressive 14-season run.

“These eight shows that we can look forward to are because CBS agreed and wanted to do that and celebrate – not only celebrate Blue Bloods but commemorate its legacy. And I just wanted to thank them,” the actor said Thursday night during the show’s panel at PaleyFest in NYC.

The series will have aired nearly 300 episodes when Season 14, Part 2 wraps. Part 1 aired from February to May.

Deadline first reported CBS’ plans to end Blue Bloods’ run almost a year ago. Network executives said later that, “All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to us to refresh the schedule,” acknowledging that the series by EP and showrunner Kevin Wade had been a staple of the lineup.

Blue Bloods‘ end truly begins this Friday at 10/9c, when the long-running CBS family/cop drama serves up the first of its eight final episodes.

In the episode “Life Sentence,” an allegation of jury tampering against Erin (played by Bridget Moynahan) intertwines with Danny and Baez’s (Donnie Wahlberg and Marisa Ramirez) homicide case and Eddie’s (Vanessa Ray) bond to a child murder witness. Elsewhere, Frank (Tom Selleck) clashes with his friend and confidant Archbishop Kearns (Stacy Keach) over the death penalty; and when Jamie’s (Will Estes) car is stolen, he joins forces with his nephew, Joe Hill (WIll Hochman), to recover it.

As Blue Bloods heads into its final episodes, fans wonder if we’ll see some old faces and at least one original cast member is coming back for the last run!

As Blue Bloods prepares for the last half of Season 14, fans are getting ready to say goodbye. As much as they may want to see the show continue, CBS appears prepared to end it. At least fans can expect to see some old and familiar faces returning.

It’s confirmed that Stacy Keach will return as Archbishop Kearns and Dylan Walsh once more as Mayor Chase. We’ll have Will Hochman back as Joe Hill and, even better, an on-screen meeting of him and the long-absent Nikki (Sami Gayle) and Jack (Tony Terraciano). However, there’s a question of another long-time face coming back in Jennifer Esposito as Jackie Curatola.

When Blue Bloods premiered in 2010, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) was partnered with Jackie,...

Screen Rant is proud to present exclusive first-look images of the new ensemble dramedy, Lost & Found in Cleveland, which premieres at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Saturday, October 19. It follows a group of characters whose lives become intertwined when an antiques appraisal television show makes the surprising decision to film in their city. The movie takes place over a 24-hour period, with the official synopsis stating that the American fable is "about the post-Industrial American Dream in the Industrial Midwest." Check out new stills from the movie below, which provide a glance at what to expect when the series comes to Cleveland:

When you look at the true legacy of a scream queen there are a lot of options out there to choose from. When looking at the top of the heap though? I’d argue that there really is only one option. Jamie Lee Curtis has been making horror movies in 6 different decades now and while a lot of them are directly tied to her most famous franchise with 7 of her horror films being in the Halloween series, there’s so much more. In fact, her run from 1978 to 1981 includes the likes of Halloween 1 and 2, The Fog, Terror Train, and Prom Night. All of those movies have now been remade and are considered classics but there is one in there that doesn’t get talked about enough, was a bomb when it came out, but keeps getting better with age. While Halloween II came out and stole the spotlight in 1981, Road Games...

Jeff Bridges made his unofficial screen debut in John Cromwell's 1951 drama "The Company She Keeps" just over a year after he was born. The son of actors Dorothy and Lloyd Bridges, he steadily proved himself a nepo baby of the finest order upon reaching young adulthood. In the 50 years and change since then, he's done it all, be it squaring off with King Kong, riding a light cycle on The Grid, or seeking compensation for the damage to his prized rug. (It really tied his living room together.) He even snagged a long-expected Oscar for playing an alcoholic country singer in Scott Cooper's "Crazy Heart," a film that arrived on the heels of Bridges portraying the first-ever Marvel Cinematic Universe villain in "Iron Man."

Trying to decide which of Bridges' movies stands out above the rest is a formidable challenge. It's also one that we, thankfully, need not...

Intro: What is the first movie that comes to mind when you hear the name Elisabeth Shue? Do you think of her as the Karate Kid’s love interest? The babysitter who went on an adventure through downtown Chicago? The Oscar-nominated prostitute from Leaving Las Vegas? Chances are, the movie that comes to mind is not Link. A horror movie where Shue shares the screen with a homicidal orangutan that’s passed off as being a chimp. Link isn’t very well known, but it should be. If you haven’t seen it, it’s the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw.

Creators / Cast: Link (watch it Here) was directed by Alfred Hitchcock devotee Richard Franklin, an Australian filmmaker who, for a while, looked like he could be one of the best sources for new Hitchcockian thrillers once the Master of Suspense had passed away. Franklin had even been friends with Hitchcock,...

Richard Franklin's Road Games is a suspense horror movie that takes the best elements of Alfred Hitchcock's films suspense, terror, paranoia, romance, murder and places it in the Australian Outback. American truck driver Quid (Stacy Keach), who thinks he witnessed a murder, proceeds to carry his haul across the Nullarbor Plain, picking up hitchhikers and following the trail of the serial killer. It's a simple plot, one that bears, in no coincidental way, a strong resemblance to the plot of Rear Window, yet the distinctions are what make this a unique picture. A burgeoning Australian film scene, the influence of American filmmaking styles, and the cool yet raucous attitudes of the Australian people all combined to create a thrilling, at times terrifying, movie that defied expectations of a "road movie."...

Fred Roos, the casting director turned producer who jump-started the career of Jack Nicholson and collaborated often with Francis Ford Coppola, sharing a best picture Oscar with the filmmaker for The Godfather Part II, has died. He was 89.

Roos died Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills, a publicist announced.

It’s part of Hollywood lore that before Harrison Ford became a famous actor, he was laboring as a carpenter to make ends meet. What some might not know is that it was at Roos’ house where Ford was woodworking when the casting director befriended him, eventually pushing him for roles in George Lucas’ American Graffiti (1973) and Star Wars (1977) and Coppola’s The Conversation (1974).

And it was Roos who convinced Lucas — who had been leaning toward Amy Irving — that Carrie Fisher should portray Princess Leia in Star Wars. (Roos did not have an official role on that film.)

Roos, however,...

"Duet" in DS9 season 1 tackles complex themes, introducing Cardassian war criminal Marritza to challenge Major Kira's prejudices. Actor Harris Yulin faced memory troubles due to lengthy Cardassian makeup process, needing lines fed by director Jim Conway. Nana Visitor also struggled with Cardassian makeup in DS9 season 3, but delivered a fantastic performance in "Second Skin".

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest star Harris Yulin had one problem with playing Cardassian war criminal Aamin Marritza in DS9 season 1, episode 19, "Duet". Widely regarded as a highlight of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Duet" is DS9 season 1's best episode, acting as an early indicator of the complex political themes that Star Trek: DS9 would come to be known for. Yulin's Marritza is a Cardassian war criminal who forces Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) to reckon with her own prejudices against Cardassians by seeking punishment for his complicity in the atrocities committed at a...
