Nicholas Galitzine has the Power! Amazon MGM Studios has released the first look at the actor in character as He-Man for the live-action Masters of the Universe reboot.

The image was shared on the studio's official X account alongside the caption, "Eternia is in good hands. Here's your first look at Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man with the Sword of Power in the upcoming film." Unfortunately for fans, the image doesn't offer a full-body shot of Galitzine in costume as He-Man. Instead, the image is a close-up of his hands and upper body, with the Sword of Power taking up most of the shot. However, based on what is shown, the reboot's He-Man looks extremely faithful to the original animated version. Check out the image below.

When it comes to the holiday season, there are some traditions that transcend generations, with classic Christmas movies being at the top of the list for many. Whether it's an animated classic such as Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer or esteemed cinema like It’s a Wonderful Life, there are plenty of heartwarming masterworks to spread joy throughout the season. But, in the case of Surviving Christmas, things weren’t so joyous. The well-meaning holiday romp was plagued by issues that turned silver and gold into coal at the box office.

Style at the 2024 Emmys ran the gamut this year, from vivid hues to the deepest jewel tones and a substantial commitment to classic black and shimmering metallics. The sheer variety of looks made the task of narrowing the list of best-dressed stars among this year’s winners and nominees all the more daunting.

In the end, selecting the most outstanding looks from Sunday ceremony at the Peacock Theater boiled down to a mix of factors: a silhouette and design that felt both current and beyond basic, an attention to beautiful fit, thoughtful accessorizing and the poise to pull off all of the above.

Here’s a look at a dozen stars who simply dazzled at the 2024 Emmys.

In every corner of One Piece, there lies a mystery. Eiichiro Oda created his magnum opus in such a way that the fans get lost in the mysteries. He also reveals them when the time is right. But there are still a few mysteries that often make the fans question the entire plot. One of those questions is whether Red Haired Shanks stole the Gomu Gomu no Mi for Monkey D. Luffy or if there was another pirate destined to become Sun God Nika.

While it seems a mind-boggling question, several theories believe that Gol D. Roger’s son, Portgas D. Ace, was supposed to eat the Gomu Gomu no Mi. But thanks to Eiichiro Oda, Monkey D. Luffy came out of nowhere to consume the fruit. Unknowingly, it was JoyBoy’s Devil Fruit, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika.

Efron's rom-com track record has been disappointing since 2007's "Hairspray," only musical-based rom-coms have been successful. "A Family Affair" joins Efron's critical failures due to a lack of focus and script issues. Efron's struggle in romantic comedies may stem from weak scripts and changing expectations in a resurging genre.

Although Zac Efron's new Netflix comedy, A Family Affair, entered the Top 10 chart on Netflix, it didn't break a disappointing 17-year-old trend for the actor. Headlined by Efron, the film boasts an impressive cast and a compelling premise. Efron plays a movie star who begins a relationship with his assistant's mom, played by Nicole Kidman. The relationship goes through the standard rom-com beats of older woman/younger man romances: disapproving adult children, miscommunication about age, and the woman realizing she deserves happiness.

Efron's role A Family Affair follows a string of noteworthy films the actor has been involved with as of late.

On Nov. 21, 2022, One Piece Film: Red was released in theaters in Japan. As the 15th feature film in the One Piece series nears its second anniversary, storyboards by series creator Eiichiro Oda have resurfaced online.

On Reddit, the One Piece Film: Red storyboards by Oda were shared on the r/OnePiece forum. The storyboards go over the early history of "Red-Haired" Shanks and Monkey D. Luffy and how Uta fits into the picture. Oda lists significant events in the series' history, such as a one-year-old Shanks being found inside a treasure chest by Gol D. Roger, which is mirrored in the movie through Uta as a baby. It also offers the earliest look at Luffy's childhood that the series has provided so far, detailing his first encounter with Shanks and his adoptive daughter.

A stop-motion recreation of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer turns the classic character into a raptor, and it is unhinged Christmas fun. The fictional reindeer, originally created by Robert L. May in 1939, has become one of the most recognizable figures of the holiday season. With his own song and a number of movies and television specials, most notably 1964's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, his story is well-known, especially among children. Gifted with a bright red nose, which he uses to lead Santa Claus' sleigh, the tale of Rudolph is also applicable to its audience, celebrating one's uniqueness, though criticism in recent years has questioned the value of its lessons.

Now, one Twitter account, But With Raptors, has put a twist on the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, imagining the character as a dinosaur. Brought to life in a style similar to the 1964 stop-motion special depicting Rudolph and others, the two clips feature a small,...

This post contains spoilers for "One Piece Film Red."

"One Piece Film Red" is filled with explosive and mind-bending moments that not only features stunning animation and fun world-building but also rewards viewers who have watched or read the series from the beginning. Eiichiro Oda himself said that "One Piece" was nearing its end, and although he's said that several times before, the events and character interactions up to this point all seem to indicate that it may actually be true this time. That's especially the case with "One Piece Film Red," which heavily features one of the most popular characters in the series who has, throughout 1,000 plus episodes of anime, essentially only appeared three times.

I am, of course, talking about the legendary pirate Red-Haired Shanks, Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, and the man who gave Luffy his signature straw hat, which has now become symbolic of everything "One Piece" related.

Cinema halls have received the green signal to operate with 100 per cent occupancy. It is positive news for the theatre owners, but not so for the box office just yet.

Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Sunday allowed theatres to be operate with full capacity from February 1, except in containment zones, while adhering to health safety protocols.

During the 2020 lockdowns and ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, people at home sought isolated comfort. News reports continued to count the number of dead while people in charge downplayed its seriousness or offered dubious advice on dealing with the disease. It certainly didn’t interrupt many golf games. As workers were furloughed from jobs, they binged. One of the movies at the top of the playlist was The Masque of the Red Death, Roger Corman’s 1964 low budget masterpiece.

It told the tale of a wealthy medieval prince in a country decimated by an epidemic. The satanic overlord, played by the legendary actor and horror icon Vincent Price, locks his gates to his god-fearing dominions while he and his friends party like it’s 1999.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death” is about 2,300 words. Corman’s adaptation, which has been fully restored and can now be seen in its lush,...

To mark the release of the restoration of Roger Corman’s The Masque of the Red Death on 25th January, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray.

This is the first ever fully uncut, extended version of the film to be available. Vincent Price stars as evil Prince Prospero who sells his soul to the devil and then enjoys the latter’s patronage by living the most decadent and lavish lifestyle he can manage. He derides even more pleasure from the perverse satisfaction he takes in seeing his impoverished subjects fall victim to a painful and devastating plague that is sweeping the land.

Logan’s encounters with racism on the force as the son of a Jamaican father (who himself was beaten by cops and falsely charged) are compounded by the alienating response within his community.
