As each new year begins, folks celebrate, sometimes with great relief, the passage of time and the cultural highs that held us aloft. Looking back means not quite being ready to look forward, which helps explain the phenomenon of bad movies that plague theaters every January, a notorious dumping ground...

Architects have announced a new album titled The Sky, The Earth & All Between, set for release on February 28th. In advance of the band’s 11th studio LP, the UK metalcore act has unveiled the new single “Whiplash.”

“Whiplash” stands as the third single from The Sky, The Earth & All Between, as previous stand-alone singles “Seeing Red” and “Curse” are part of the album’s 12-song tracklist.

The new song was produced by former Bring Me the Horizon member Jordan Fish. According to drummer Dan Searle, “‘Whiplash’ marks the beginning of a new era for Architects. It is a song that speaks of tribalism, of a deepening chasm that lies between human beings based simply on opinions and beliefs.”

He continued, “It gave us the opportunity to explore these concepts in a way that we haven’t before and for the first time in a while it gave us fuel to write something truly ferocious.

Fans of actor Bill Paxton — and we are legion — likely know that he made his directorial debut in 1980, helming the music video for Barnes & Barnes' immortal classic "Fish Heads." The video, made on a very, very low budget, featured Paxton as a buyer and enthusiast of the titular ichthyoid crania, shown throwing them a birthday party and generally enjoying their company. The video also featured a cameo from Dr. Demento, the famed Los Angeles DJ responsible for proliferating hundreds of well-known novelty hits, and for bringing "Weird Al" Yankovic to the world's attention. Paxton was a weird, wonderful man who ran on the fringes. The fact that he became a well-known mainstream star is kind of wild.

Paxton, of course, began appearing in feature films in the late 1970s and early 1980s, starring in notable genre films like "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker" and "Mortuary." Many likely first noticed him in...

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has been telling the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirate Crew’s journey on the Grand Line since 1999. One of the key aspects of the show is how it tends to showcase its secrets that fans would not have seen coming from miles away. Though kept a secret, Oda-Sensei would unravel it himself when he felt the time was correct.

One such instance is the Haki types that have been featured in the anime and manga series, where for the longest period of time, fans believed there were only 3 types of Haki: Observation Haki, Haoshoku Haki, and Busoshoku Haki.

However, it looks like there is a fourth Haki, which is so rare that it can only be used by Dracule Mihawk and Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of The Revolutionary Forces.

Eiichiro Oda’s One...

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.

Monkey D. Luffy Came Out Of Syllabus For Shanks Monkey D.

In the immediate aftermath of the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Michelle and Robert King were informed that Paramount+ would not be moving forward with a fifth season of their supernatural drama, Evil. They were given four additional episodes to wrap up the series, which were announced in February. But a funny thing happened just two months later. The first two seasons of Evil dropped on Netflix and were, like so many overlooked library titles that dropped before, a hit.

Evil ranked behind only Bridgerton as the top streaming original as recently as June, a fact that is not lost on the veteran writers and producers who are now officially closing the book on their show at the peak of its popularity. With the last five episodes of Evil‘s fourth and final season kicking off on Paramount+ weekly starting July 25, the Kings recently hopped on Zoom to discuss how...

The Happy Face television series is finally moving forward. Paramount+ ordered the series in November 2021 and it's heading into production later this year with Annaleigh Ashford (B Positive) as the star.

Inspired by the Happy Face podcast and the book Shattered Silence written by Melissa Jesperson-Moore with M. Bridget Cook, the series will revolve around Melissa (Ashford) who discovers her father is a serial killer. Jennifer Cacicio (Your Honor) and Robert and Michelle King are behind the series.

All seven episodes of Peacock’s “Wolf Like Me” Season 2 are available to stream now (our review), doubling down on the charm and the werewolf complications introduced in season one. It makes for the perfect Halloween binge as October starts to wind down.

The series was created by Abe Forsythe (Little Monsters), who also serves as writer, director, and executive producer.

In season two, Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) leap into the next phase of their relationship and face their biggest challenge yet: pregnancy. Typical anxieties for any expecting couple get exacerbated tenfold when the mom-to-be also happens to be a werewolf.

Without delving into spoilers, the second season ends on a cliffhanger, unlike the tidy, cathartic conclusion of season one. It’s the precise type of ending that demands a third season to see what happens next. Bloody Disgusting sought answers from series creator Abe Forsythe, and...

AMC Unveils First Sneak Peek Scene From The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: "AMC unveiled a sneak peek scene from the The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon during tonight’s new episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City. The new series in The Walking Dead Universe starring Norman Reedus debuts this fall on AMC and AMC+.

In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Daryl (Norman Reedus) washes ashore in France and struggles to piece together how he got there and why.

It can be argued that 1981’s The Evil Dead, made on a shoestring budget when director Sam Raimi was barely 21, kicked off the 1980s boom in horror comedy, which would include Ghostbusters, Return Of The Living Dead, Re-Animator, The Stuff, Beetlejuice, Gremlins, and (in...

When we think of zombies, it’s only natural to first go right into everyone’s favorite flesh-eating ghouls that were popularized by George Romero in his genre classic Night of the Living Dead. But the idea of zombies has been around much longer and is actually steeped in fact. Haitian voodoo has claimed to create zombies for hundreds of years and in film, these were represented in some of our earliest horror movies. White Zombie and I Walked with a Zombie are two of the more famous ones, but the entire sub-genre has some fascinating watches. Horror legend Wes Craven brought a return to Voodoo...

Exclusive: Indonesian director Joko Anwar (Impetigore) is preparing to make his English-language debut with Fritzchen, an adaptation of the classic short story by Charles Beaumont that is in development at Village Roadshow.

While the story published in Orbit magazine in 1953 (and later in Beaumont’s anthology Yonder) examines a boy’s encounter with a strange creature on the beach, blending elements of sci-fi and horror, details with regard to the film’s plot are being kept under wraps. Michael Voyer (The Broodmare) is adapting the script, with David Kopple on board to produce for Entertainment 360. Village Roadshow recently optioned the short story and will serve as the project’s financier.

Beaumont was an acclaimed science fiction writer best known for penning such Twilight Zone episodes as “The Howling Man,” “Static,” “Miniature,” “Printer’s Devil” and “Number Twelve Looks Just Like You.” He also wrote the screenplays for films including Brain Dead,...

Happy Face is headed to Paramount+. The streaming series has ordered the new drama from Jennifer Cacicio (Your Honor) and Robert and Michelle King, which is based on the Happy Face podcast and the life of Melissa Jesperson-Moore. As a teenager, Jesperson-Moore discovered that her father was a serial killer known as Happy Face. Years after separating from him, he contacts her from prison and she gets pulled into a new investigation.

Sam Raimi is already well known in the world of Marvel as director of the 2002-2007 Spider-Man trilogy, and even more known for his Evil Dead franchise, so bringing Raimi back into the Marvel fold for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was never going to result in a light and airy rom-com style movie. Marvel Boss Kevin Feige knows this better than many, having worked as associate/executive producer on Raimi's original Spider-Man movies, and he is glad to have Raimi on board the MCU train for the franchise's darker and scarier addition.

"Everything we do at Marvel Studios is from the point of view of the audience, and how do we make the audience feel one way, or how do we evoke an emotion out of an audience? I really feel like I learned that from watching Sam on the Spider-Man movies," Kevin Feige told Rotten Tomatoes of the Sony Pictures production.

TanNa Young, a longtime TV producer and production executive, passed away March 17 in Williamsburg, Va of cancer with complications from Covid-19. She was 51.

For the past three years, Young was at Scott Free, serving as a production executive on a number of projects, including playing a key role in shepherding the company’s HBO Max series Raised By Wolves.

Young’s association with Scott Free dates back years before she formally joined the company, serving in various producing capacities on several Scott Free shows, including a lengthy stint as Coordinating Producer, then Associate Producer for creators/executive producers Robert & Michelle King and executive producer Brooke Kennedy on The Good Wife, Brain Dead and The Good Fight.

“TanNa’s dedication and passion for her work will be eternally worthy of admiration by us all,” Scott Free’s Head of Worldwide TV David W. Zucker said. “She will be deeply missed.”

The title of disaster movie maestro Roland Emmerich's Independence Day is worked so wonderfully into the movie that it is hard to imagine the 1996 sci-fi hit by any other name. Well, according to star Bill Pullman, the movie was almost entitled Doomsday.

"We shot that at night, of course, because it's dark and not on a soundstage or anything. It was really late, and it got moved into the schedule early, because Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich were in contention right then with Fox about the title. I think it was gonna be Doomsday. It's what Fox wanted, and it was a title that was typical of the time [for a] disaster movie.""They really wanted Independence Day, so we had to make the speech really good. And then they cut it together, and a couple of nights later, Dean came to my trailer, and he said, 'Do you wanna see it'?...

Following the current trend with long running franchises that choose to ignore the previous sequels, Leprechaun Returns follows on from the original 25 years later. A decision which works brilliantly for the film giving it the freedom to not only follow on from the original story but also allowing it to reboot the series.

Leprechaun Returns is brilliantly balanced as it acknowledges the original film, Leprechaun (1993), throughout, whilst also trying to evolve the story. This enables it to appeal to both fans of the original series, whilst also making it accessible to a new audience. Mark Holton is the only returning actor from the original film as he reprises his role of Ozzie (Linden Porco having taken over the pivotal role of the leprechaun from Warwick Davis) and is used initially as a nostalgic connection between the two films. It seemed as though he would be destined for a brief cameo,...

Peter Jackson has a new film headed our way, and this time the man behind such blockbusters as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit trilogy, and King Kong is bringing us a documentary on Wwi. But rest assured when it's Jackson we're talking about, this documentary is anything but what we've seen before. They Shall Not Grow Old is a film that stitches together more than 600 hours of archival footage and then updates it with today's top technology, bringing the once silent and black and white footage to colorful 3D life in a way never before seen. It really is stunning.

And today we have word that Jackson had such a ball updating the old Wwi footage that he's planning to put his early splatter films through the treatment as well.

Exclusive: New York Comic Con gets an unusually high jolt of star power on Friday, October 5 when Peter Jackson comes to Gotham to introduce Mortal Engines, the tent pole that Christian Rivers directed and Jackson and his The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit scripting partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens adapted from the Philip Reeve novels. I can reveal that Andy Serkis has been secured as Nycc moderator, and he certainly knows more than most about the artistry behind Weta-style world creation filmmaking. Beyond his groundbreaking onscreen work in Lotr and King Kong, Serkis served as Second Unit director on all three The Hobbit films. Though Rivers makes his feature directorial debut on Mortal Engines, he has been working with Jackson for a quarter century and with Serkis for around 20. Rivers rose up from storyboard artist on the Jackson-directed 1987 film Bad Taste to winning the Oscar for Best...

Roswell New Mexico is a go!

The reboot of the little-watched Roswell has officially landed a series order at The CW.

Per the official logline:

After reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, the daughter of undocumented immigrants discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush who is now a police officer: he’s an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life.

She protects his secret as the two reconnect and begin to investigate his origins, but when a violent attack and long-standing government cover-up point to a greater alien presence on Earth, the politics of fear and hatred threaten to expose him and destroy their deepening romance.

This new entry in the franchise will be based on the book written by Melinda Metz.

For day eight, we are going all in on enamel pins, simply because there are so many amazing designs out there and it was hard to narrow down the list.

MaryAnn’s quick take… The reboot no one asked for of a movie no one much remembers has landed… and it’s dead on arrival, with nothing new to say and no new way to say it. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m a fan of some of the cast

I’m “biast” (con): tired of all the reboots

I have seen the source material (and I don’t much like it)

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)

The reboot no one asked for of a movie no one much remembers has landed… and it’s dead on arrival. Oh, this new and pointless Flatliners deserves all the terrible death-related puns we can toss at it: “Someone should have put a do-not-rescusitate on the 1990 movie.” “A fate worse than death.” “Brain dead.” “Send it to the morgue.” C’mon, it’s fun!

With the Train to Busan (2017) bursting on the screens and the announcement of an inevitable ‘American Remake’, I thought it would be a good time to look back on some of the classic zombie films from around the world.

Night of The Living Dead (1968)

There is often a debate about which of George A. Romero’s Living Dead series is his best. Personally, I am a night person and I love the film which started it all. Self-funded and filmed over a year, Night of the Living Dead was shot on black and white 35mm under the original title Night of the Flesh Eaters. Ground breaking at the time, this not only created the first zombie movie, but also broke taboos by having a black male lead.

Zombies have evolved over the years, become faster, smarter and more violent to satisfy the needs of the audience. However, people still continue...

As many shows do after the death of an actor, we will get a tribute for Bill Paxton on an episode of Training Day this Thursday on CBS in it's regularly scheduled time slot. The episode will be called "Wages of Sin” and will see his costar Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) help clear his name after the past comes back to haunt Frank Roarke (Paxton), and threatens the loss of his badge.

On February 25, 2017, Bill Paxton died an untimely death during heart surgery, saddening many friends, family, and fans -- including myself. His resume was exquisite, including his work on Big Love, Twister, Frailty, and Brain Dead.

I admit, I had very low expectations of Training Day, but I decided to watch it for one reason alone; Paxton. I love the show, and he is the main reason. He pulls off the "badguy-yet-goodguy" character Frank Roarke quite well, which was evident from the first episode,...

Amanda Seyfried is grieving the sudden loss of her on-screen dad, Bill Paxton.

“He was an amazing and supportive father-figure to me in my early career,” she tells People. “Incredibly inspired and full of life at every turn, he made you feel like everything was possible. This is a terrible loss.”

The actress, 31, starred opposite Paxton, who died at the age of 61, in the polygamy HBO drama Big Love from 2006 to 2011.

Other stars have honored the late actor, including Ginnifer Goodwin, who played one of his three wives in Big Love, as well as Jamie Lee Curtis, director James Cameron,...

Fargo has already managed to break the television mold in a variety of ways, and perhaps the most important is that the second season lived up to the first.

Going for three might be pushing your luck, but the cast is rounding out nicely.

Ewan McGregor and Carrie Coon (Gone Girl, The Leftovers) have already been attached, and now Mary Elizabeth Winstead joins them. Winstead, recently of 10 Cloverfield Lane and Brain Dead, will play Nikki Swango, a recent parolee who is decidedly focused on competitive bridge. This already gives us a clue to this season’s connections, as Ewan McGregor plays brothers, one of whom is a parole officer.

Winstead seems a solid choice for the series, given her demonstrated delivery in both of her most recent efforts, and the reveal of her character offers even more reason to believe this one could hold up as well.

Besides mosquito bites, Zika is also spread through sexual contact.

Should news outlets call out candidates they think are racist and xenophobic? Or just report the news? CNN’s Jake Tapper stirred up debate on the subject when he told TheWrap that recent headlines mocking Trump and his supporters were “the very height of elitism.” The New York Daily News heralded Trump’s New Hampshire victory as “Dawn of the Brain Dead,” with the subheadline: “Clown comes back to live with N.H. win as mindless zombies turn out in droves.” The Huffington Post wrote: “Wtf Gop? Racist, Sexist, Xenophobic Demogogue Wins Nh.” Tapper told TheWrap those “are business decisions that they are making,...

The cover of Wednesday’s New York Daily News took aim at the “mindless” New Hampshire voters on who gave Donald Trump a victory in the state’s Republican primary. “Dawn of the Brain Dead,” the headline read, along with a picture of the Gop candidate in clown makeup. “Clown comes back to life with N.H. win as mindless zombies turn out in droves,” the cover continued.

Zombies? Again? Since their mid-00s renaissance, zombies have been everywhere: movies, videogames, television – even bestselling books. This ubiquity means that damn near every piece of zombie media comes with a ‘twist’ on the idea: zombie period drama, zombie Westerns, zombie romantic comedy etc. What We Become’s ‘twist’ is that it’s set in Denmark.

Danish cinema is usually associated 90s ‘Dogme 95 collective’; hard-nosed taboo-busting dramas served with lashings of awkward sex and dark comedy. What We Become is an attempt to step away from that and prove that Denmark too can put together a decent genre flick. Turns out they can, but that’s about all they’ve done.

Set in an everytown Danish suburb, we watch the Johansson family try to cope with a mysterious epidemic. Friendly neighbourhood picnics are stubbed out by gas mask wearing riot cops who seal the scared householders inside their homes with plastic wrap.

Brain Dead will arrive on CBS this upcoming summer, and there is more news about the series now available. TV Insider reported on Thursday that Aaron Tveit, formerly of USA series Graceland, had been cast in the male lead for the series.

Horror and comedy have always gone hand in hand. Laughs often alleviate the tension and who doesn’t crack a smile at the goriest, over the top scenes of horror? But the true horror-comedy, a purposeful bland of the two genres can be trickier to pull off than you think. When it works, it can produce wonders such as Shaun of the Dead, Brain Dead and last years horror hit, Wyrmwood. But when it doesn’t work, eurgh… That’s when things can go horribly wrong. But what happens when the comedy takes over and the laughs outweigh the horror? Well you get fantastically funny, bloodsoaked comedy like Bloodsucking Bastards.

Cranking up the laughs to eleven, Bloodsucking Bastards is the Office Space of the horror genre, a...

Deathgasm. That name conjures up a myriad of things in your mind. A myriad of things that Deathgasm probably contains in its short, but packed, 90 minutes running time. From death by dildo, decapitations, eviscerations, disembowelment, dismemberment and more. And metal. Lots and lots of heavy metal. Old-school metal, death metal, black metal; but definitely Not any hair metal!

The movie tells the story of Brodie, a metal-loving kid sent to live with his bible-bashing relatives who is an outcast at home And at school. When he meets a kindred spirit in Zakk at the local record shop, they decide – along with Brodie only two schoolfriends – to start their own band, the titular Deathgasm (they rejected the name Intestinal Bungee Jump). Soon the duo’s resentment of the suburban wasteland leads them to...
