It’s an emotionally fraught conclusion. Before our very eyes, I Care a Lot’s protagonist—its ostensible hero—is bleeding out inside an asphalt parking lot. But then, was she or anyone else ever a hero in this story? Just seconds before she was gunned down, Rosamund Pike’s Marla Grayson is seen, smilingly lying about how great her new predatory company is, and how she’s figured out a way to turn elder abuse into a sanitized illusion of “eldercare....
Batwoman Season 2, Episode 13 Last week, Batwoman left Alice to fend for herself against the False Faces, after the two formed a temporary alliance to rescue Angelique and Ocean from the masked gang. Ryan’s choice not to help Alice escape Circe’s clutches may have been jarring for some, but Alice has always been a sore spot, and their brief ceasefires are always punctuated by reminders of who Alice is and what she’s done....

Criticism of Marvel Studios movies is not a new phenomenon. Despite their pictures generally receiving solid marks from a plurality of critics almost every outing—at least as judged by the simple up/down metric of Rotten Tomatoes—there’s always a loud contingent of detractors whose grievances should be familiar by now: a visual and narrative uniformity; a lack of stylistic variation; an overreliance on blue screen and CGI; and where is the authorial voice?...
In the new James Mangold-directed sequel, Ford’s Dr. Henry Jones Jr. is looking grayer than he did in 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In fact, his hair is now white. But the elegiac rendition of Williams’ Indy theme still soars as the old-timer rides a horse through the New York City subways–and it all but weeps as we have our first look at the de-aged Harrison Ford, confirming rumors that there will be flashback sequences set during World War II....
After the debut of the Yellowstone season 5 premiere, Paramount gave the franchise’s ravenous fans an early holiday present with the first peek at 1923, the second prequel and second chapter in the Dutton family saga. 1923 (originally announced as “1932”) will introduce a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Helen Mirren). The series will explore the early twentieth century when issues like pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plagued the mountain west and the Duttons who called it home....
The method of Software development lifecycle has changed drastically in the last decade. Earlier, the waterfall model was the way to go forward, then agile methodology came where the development happened iteratively, and now with DevOps, both development and operations happen iteratively and continuously till the complete application is developed and deployed. The term CI/CD, which stands for continuous integration and continuous delivery, has become very popular. It is a DevOps practice that helps develop and deliver the application much faster and in a reliable way....
Everyone’s favorite hard-boiled detective (and former superhero – not that she wants to talk about it) is back for one last case. While Jessica Jones, Trish Walker, and the rest of Hell’s Kitchen are reeling from Jess’s mother’s death at the end of last season and parsing out what it means to be a hero, we did our best to find all the Marvel Easter eggs throughout the Netflix show’s final season....
Peacock’s original six-part docuseries doesn’t limit coverage to the infamous headliner. The victims receive full and detailed histories. Journalists discuss Gacy’s impact on the news. The NBC News Studios documentary team interviews the investigators on the case, and family members of the victims. They also interview Gacy’s sister Karen Kuzma. The highlight of the project is a 1992 interview Gacy gave to FBI profiler Robert Ressler. Aside from a few minutes of excerpts, this is the first time the interview has been shown in public....
That at least appears to be the compelling setup of Judas and the Black Messiah, a new film which just dropped the riveting trailer below. As a film produced by Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed), Judas and the Black Messiah appears to take the always fascinating perspective of the man who betrayed a friend or leader, a Judas if you will, with the film told from the perspective of William O’Neal (LaKeith Stanfield)....
“When a murder is committed, it sends shockwaves through a community,” reads the press statement. “But what happens when a case is closed, yet lingering questions remain? When doubt circulates throughout a city, and investigations are put under a microscope, people begin to ask: is the convicted truly the killer, or is someone evading the law while an innocent person sits taxed with their crimes?” Killer in Question will examine four stories of adjudicated cases, where the verdict remains under dispute....
The core gameplay mechanic of Knockout City is about as simple as can be: throw and catch. As in traditional dodgeball, two teams (either 3v3 or 4v4) collect balls and hurl them at each other to score points, and can catch balls to defend themselves. The big change to the actual game of dodgeball is that instead of the field of play being flat and split in two, players are free to jump, dash, and glide around multi-tiered environments, pick up randomly spawned balls, and hunt each other down arena-shooter style, but with a twist....
That’s why his ninth feature, Licorice Pizza, feels like a big gulp of fresh (if problematic) air. Set in the San Fernando Valley in 1973, and reportedly based loosely on the early life of Anderson’s friend (and American film producer) Gary Goetzman, the film is a rambling, funny, warm-hearted ode to a certain bygone time and place, yet with an undercurrent of darkness that reflects the transitions and contortions that America was going through as it whiplashed from the late countercultural ’60s to the arch-conservative early 1980s....
“When Alex Trebek began hosting Jeopardy, Ronald Reagan was in his first term, Ghostbusters was a recent box-office hit, and most Millennials hadn’t been born yet. Now, after nearly four decades, his time behind the podium is done. Trebek, a TV icon, died over the weekend from pancreatic cancer that he was diagnosed with a year and a half ago.” Read more at The Atlantic. Check out eleven memorable facts about the late TV icon and Jeopardy!...
“For every critically acclaimed box office juggernaut Marvel Studios has released, there have been just as many widely panned superhero flops. Some of them were victims of misguided expectations, some were ruined by heavy studio interference, but one movie that checks both of these boxes is Josh Trank’s FANT4STIC, also known as 2015’s Fantastic Four.” Read more at Inverse. Fandom asked everyone who they’d like to see in Spider-Man 3, and actor Vincent D’Onofrio dropped a comment… Read more at The Mary Sue....
“2018’s Aquaman was surprising in so many ways. Formerly a superhero punchline, Aquaman shocked audiences with an ambitious, balls-to-the-wall action-adventure. The film had everything: deep-sea monsters? Check. Octopus playing drums? Check. Julie Andrews voicing an ancient sea creature? Check. After Nolan’s self-serious Batman trilogy and Snyder’s humorless time helming the DC universe, Aquaman was a breath of fresh air. A colorful, silly romp that never took itself too seriously and provided enough CGI dazzle and actor charisma for a genuinely entertaining family-friendly time at the movies....
“It’s one of those movie-making factoids that seems impossible to believe: the idea George Lucas would have handed over the keys to both of his fledgling franchises to an up-and-coming screenwriter with only two previous feature film credits. And when you talk to Lawrence Kasdan in 2022, he laughs and shakes his head. Over four decades later, even he can’t believe it.” Read more at Inverse To no one’s surprise, #ReleaseBatgirl has already begun to circulate around social media....
“MONDAY AM: According to data this morning, Warner Bros.’ Elvis wins No. 1 this weekend with a $31.1M opening beating the fifth weekend of Paramount/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick which did $29.6M.

“Good sports movies are tough to make. The most successful have to transcend the drama and excitement inherent in sports themselves; why watch a movie about basketball when you could simply watch a great basketball game? But when done right, sports movies offer more depth than the average game, illuminating not just the sport depicted, but the deeper part of human nature that makes us love watching other people play games....
“‘We met over some Indian food. We started with dessert, which is how I like to start, and we both realized we were bros.’ But Del Toro had an agenda. He was putting together his first feature film (Cronos, a vampire-inspired Mexican independent drama). After coming across Perlman’s work while researching prosthetic makeup artists, he sought out the actor for a starring role based on ‘a bunch of work that I actually thought nobody had seen,’ Perlman humbly recalls over the phone....
