The Amityville Horror, the 2005 horror movie starring Ryan Reynolds, has gotten a free streaming home. Two decades after the film's release in theaters, The Amityville Horror is now streaming on Tubi as of Feb. 1.

Directed by Andrew Douglas and written by Scott Kosar, The Amityville Horror was one of many feature films to be made based on the original novel by Jay Anson. It is also inspired by the original feature film adaptation that was released in 1979. The story is also based on true events, taking inspiration from real-life mass murderer Ronald DeFeo Jr., who killed several family members in an Amityville, New York home. After the killings, married couple George and Kathy Lutz, along with their children, moved in and subsequently made claims that the house was haunted.

Gamers are no strangers to popular gaming franchises getting TV or film adaptations that ultimately fail to live up to the game it's based on. In recent years, some gaming franchises have found success in TV adaptations. HBO's The Last of Us is critically acclaimed and fans of the game love it just as much as people who have never played the game. Prime Video's Fallout and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft have also enjoyed incredible success. Unfortunately, these series are video game adaptations outliers, not the standard. More often than not, the media based on video games flops hard.

The sci-fi thriller The Butterfly Effect follows Evan’s (Ashton Kutcher) travels through time and space in an effort to change his and his crush Kayleigh’s (Amy Smart) lives, and as such, it was given four different endings. Written and directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber, The Butterfly Effect is the story of Evan, a college student with a turbulent past who experiences blackouts and memory loss since childhood. In his 20s, Evan discovers he can travel back in time to specific moments with his adult mind inhabiting his younger body.

Evan begins to use this power to change his and his friends' lives, especially that of Kayleigh, who went through a lot of childhood trauma. However, changing the past also changes the future/present, and in the third act of The Butterfly Effect, Evan ends up in a mental hospital. Evan now has irreversible brain damage...

For fans of Ashton Kutcher, who got to know the wholesome heartthrob through lighthearted fare like That '70s Show and Dude, Where's My Car?, his 2004 thriller The Butterfly Effect came as a shock. In this gruesome horror film, Kutcher has the ability to change his past — but every choice he makes begets an even worse outcome. However dark and disturbing the film is, though, the director's cut was too extreme even for the horror-friendly distributor New Line Cinema.

The version preferred by co-writers and directors Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber runs only around seven minutes longer than the theatrical cut, and most of that time is devoted to the radically different ending. Though the alternate conclusion was judged to be in poor taste — and understandably so — it does make a bit more sense out of the complicated and occasionally confusing Butterfly Effect.

Since Netflix's Time Cut seems to borrow many sci-fi and horror tropes and themes from other renowned films, viewers who enjoyed watching it should have many other movies on their watch lists. Unfolding through several different timelines, Time Cut is among the many flicks that use time travel as a narrative device to walk viewers through the complexities of fate, grief, and the consequences of changing the past. However, despite being driven by a complex sci-fi concept, Time Cut does not take itself too seriously and focuses less on getting time travel "right."

Apart from featuring characters who travel through time, Netflix's Time Cut also presents a slasher element, allowing it to blend its sci-fi with horror. Although Time Cut is not as violent as one would expect a slasher horror flick to be, it features a fair share of brutal killing scenes that add some intense thrills to its otherwise familiar narrative.

A wise prophet once said that “you gotta have faith, faith, faith.” Still, what is a spiritual belief system if it isn’t occasionally tested (see: Job) — and that’s where Hugh Grant comes in. The 64-year-old movie star/stammering British icon has spent the last decade or so of his career trying to erase memories of the first few decades of his career, purposefully leaning into what he calls his “freak-show era.” He’s embraced his inner rat bastard and rewarded us with a handful of performances ranging for insufferably narcissistic to downright despicable.

While Ashton Kutcher has long been a beloved Hollywood star, his career hasn’t been without controversy. Known for frequently supporting contentious figures, Kutcher recently faced criticism over his close friendship with disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

One of the controversies surrounding the actor dates back over a decade when Kutcher publicly defended Joe Paterno after he was fired as the Penn State Nittany Lions coach as a result of a child s*x abuse scandal.

Kevin Costner has had a number of critical flops to go alongside his more iconic successes, but the movie regarded by many as his worst ever, 2002's Dragonfly, was born directly out of M. Night Shyamalan's classic thriller The Sixth Sense. The supernatural thriller from director Tom Shadyac stars Costner as a doctor who is grieving the loss of his wife, who was seven months pregnant when she died in a landslide. His wife reaches him from beyond the grave through his patients that have near-death experiences, which ultimately leads to a brief supernatural reunion.

Dragonfly fits in with the thriller style of the times, alongside movies like Memento and The Butterfly Effect. Unfortunately, the movie was so widely panned that it made very little impact on pop culture, so much so that it is all but forgotten now. While some of the story elements overlap, it was the...

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles announced their NewNarratives award winners for 2024.

Time travel movies can be extremely difficult to get right, not just because of the complicated science thats involved, but because of the endless possibilities for plot holes and paradoxes.

Alexandre Aja is one of those filmmakers whose work I’ll always sit up and pay attention to. It’s because the man has consistently created horror movies that have scared, fascinated, and downright pissed me off as a human being. He’s provocative, in all the right ways.

*Spoiler Warning: This piece contains spoilers for House Of The Dragon Season 2*

With another critically acclaimed season of Game Of Thrones prequel House Of The Dragon having been and gone and production already well underway on new Westeros spin-off series A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, Thrones author George R. R. Martin must be feeling pretty chuffed with himself right about now. Or at least, that's what you would've thought. But having ominously warned that he needed to discuss "everything that has gone wrong with House Of The Dragon" in a blog post titled "Burn him! Burn him!" last week, Martin took to his website once more in a mysteriously now-deleted follow-up to vent his frustrations with how Season 2 of the show seemingly meddled with his source material.

The sprawling story of My Hero Academia juggles a rich variety of character arcs, starting with Izuku Midoriya's classic underdog story and the tale of Katsuki Bakugo, his shonen-style rival. Unsurprisingly, the best growth arcs involve the anime's teenage heroes while the pro heroes are more stable in their careers and personal lives. However, there is a major exception: Endeavor. Over time, Endeavor became far more than All Might's bitter rival or the source of Shoto's father issues. Endeavor had his own redemption arc, and it was fascinating to watch.

Redemption arcs are compelling in fiction because, by necessity, they call for serious change and growth in the character. Someone like Endeavor, the pro hero, must strive to become someone greater while doing some introspection and convince everyone that they mean to change their ways, and by the end of the My Hero Academia manga, Endeavor succeeded. He transformed himself as a pro hero,...

The following contains spoilers for My Hero Academia Season 7, Episode 15, "Butterfly Effect," now streaming on Crunchyroll.

My Hero Academia's newest episode picks up right where Episode 14 left off, with the Stain-loving villan Spinner leading a massive mob of disgruntled heteromorphs to take back the streets and free the captive Kurogiri, with only a few pro heroes and police officers to stand in their way. Meanwhile, Himiko Toga prepares her ultimate move when Kurogiri's Warp Gate Quirk becomes available again, and Dabi gets ready to face his father one more time. All of this makes for an emotionally charged sequence of events.

More than ever, My Hero Academia's anime is reminding fans of why the villains fight, beyond obvious reasons such as being the enemies of pro heroes or wanting to steal or destroy things. The anime has been humanizing antagonists like Dabi, Himiko, Spinner, and even the mighty Tomura Shigaraki for a while,...

Before rewatching Mirrors (get it Here), I was a little confused as to why it’s either forgotten or, honestly, kind of hated on. It was one of those movies that I saw in theaters when it came out and then have clear memories of when it came to my Blockbuster for rent. It’s got a fun cast of reliables and was directed by one of the early 2000s freshest and goriest directors. The director has gone on to have a steady and varied career and his new movie starring Halle Berry called Never Let Go sounds as intriguing as ever. After watching Mirrors again, I still really enjoyed it, but I now understand why it has the reputation it has and why it’s perfect for a black sheep.

He and his best friend Fahmi Tadesse (Natnael Mebrahtu) embark on the errand together, when an unexpected turn changes the small task into an odyssey across Seattle.

Over the festival season, the film won several awards, including Golden Space Needle Audience award for best film and the New American Cinema Grand Jury prize at the Seattle International Film Festival.

“Know Your Place” will open in Los Angeles on Aug. 16 and will roll out regionally throughout the summer, opening in New York in the fall.

The second season will bow later this year.

Netflix is keeping mum about the event in Lucca on Oct. 31. But given that Squid Game is the most popular series ever on the streamer, it stands to reason that interest will be high.

Lucca on Wednesday announced other highlights of this year’s convention, which include special celebrations for the 50th anniversary of fantasy roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons, the 40th anniversary of the pioneering computer game Tetris, and the 25th anniversary of iconic Japanese manga One Piece...

That ’70s Show and The Butterfly Effect star Ashton Kutcher is making waves online after commenting on the advances of AI and using the tools to create entire feature films with generative assets. Speaking with Google CEO Eric Schmidt at L.A.’s Berggruen Salon, Kutcher went to bat for Sora, OpenAi’s generative video tool. Kutcher is a significant fan of the program and thinks the possibilities it presents are limitless. He details the cost-cutting aspects of using AI, saying shots that would typically cost someone thousands could cost significantly less with the use of AI. He’s not wrong, but what is the cost to creators and crew members?

“You can create good 10, 15-second videos that look very real,” Kutcher said. “It still makes mistakes. It still doesn’t quite understand physics. … But if you look at the generation of this that existed one year ago as compared to Sora,...

Time travel content often relies on established tropes and rules to drive the plot and avoid paradoxes. The use of time travel tropes signals to the audience what to expect next in the story. Characters traveling in time often face consequences like unintended changes to the future or dangerous paradoxes.

Time travel in film and television falls under the sci-fi genre, and many tropes and story elements can be found in every movie and TV show about time travel. Part of this stems from the fact that for time travel to work effectively within a story, there must be rules and restrictions for how the ability can be used, or too many paradoxes will arise. Sometimes, these paradoxes continuously appear across content that centers on time travel. Early examples of the genre have done much to influence what remains in films and TV series that deal with multiple timelines.

Additionally,...

The flow of time is perceived as being progressive and linear in nature, which contributes to our understanding of concepts such as ‘Butterfly Effect,’ ‘Grandfather Paradox,’ ‘Bootstrap Paradox,’ etc., where temporal changes are theorized to have a significant impact. But what if time, as we know it, doesn’t remain bound by the constraints of a fixed direction and rather starts acting as a catalyst, connecting various points across the past, present, and future in a way that ensures the inevitability of the continuation of time? As the second season of Amazon Studios’ sci-fi western thriller Outer Range reveals itself with all its eccentric zaniness and complexities, this particular version of time gains narrative focus, often acting like a distinctive character in its own right.

If the first season of the series seemed confusing and bonkers to the viewers, the second season of Outer Range is definitely going to knock them senseless,...

The true-crime drama (which begins its 8-episode run Wednesday, April 17 with two episodes) follows the 1997 true story of 14-year-old Reena Virk (Cross Hollow‘s Vritika Gupta) who went to join friends at a party and never returned home. “Through the eyes of Godfrey (Daisy Jones & the Six‘s Riley Keough) and a local police officer (Reservation Dogs‘ Lily Gladstone), the series takes us into the hidden world of the young...

Alright, below are all the important things we noticed in the trailer. Let us know in the comments if there’s anything we missed!

The Hooded Stranger

The Christmas Special “The Church on Ruby Road” not only introduced the Doctor’s next companion Ruby Sunday, but also a good ol’ mystery. Like Clara and Rose before her, Ruby is much more than she appears.

“Ruby Road” began with a “hooded stranger,...

“It hurts to turn the radio on

Stamina’s gone

My spirit is weak

Because every time I start to move on

Keep hearing that song

I’m brought to my knees”

-“Now or Never Now” by Metric

Although not selected for the phenomenal soundtrack for Ned Benson’s follow-up to his similarly themed The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, Metric’s “Now or Never Now” nearly sums up the plot of his oft-sublime The Greatest Hits. Harriet (Lucy Boynton), a librarian mourning the loss of her boyfriend Max (David Corenswet), is triggered by songs that marked their relationship. An obsessive cataloger (a great quality for a librarian), she has mapped-out the trajectory of their relationships in songs and memorabilia that she accesses in a controlled environment. For the rest of her life there are noise-canceling headphones that she uses to block out songs that send her back into the past.

Ramy Youssef is set to host Saturday Night Live on March 30 with Travis Scott serving as the night’s musical host. The news was revealed tonight as Josh Brolin takes on hosting duties with Ariana Grande performing.

Youssef is currently promoting his new comedy special titled Ramy Youssef: More Feelings premiering on March 23 via HBO. He also can currently be seen in Oscar-nominated Poor Things, which is up for 11 Academy Awards on Sunday including Best Picture.

From the infamous grandfather paradox to accidentally creating a timeline where Ned Flanders rules the world, there’s an element of existential horror to every single time travel story. However, it seems that most filmmakers prefer to focus on the exciting adventure aspects of these mind-bending yarns, as very few films choose to explore the terrifying personal ramifications of going back in time to mess with events in your own life.

Obviously, there are several exceptions to this “rule,” and one of the most entertaining just happens to be Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber’s sci-fi thriller The Butterfly Effect, an under-appreciated relic of the 2000s that I think has aged into a much better movie than most folks give it credit for. And now that we have two decades of hindsight regarding time travel cinema, I’d like to take a look back on this weird little flick...

Time travel is by no means an easy topic to explore on screen, as viewers are keen to point out any inherently illogical plot points that make the entire narrative improbable. While cheeky time loop movies like Groundhog Day are able to get away with ignoring the origins of their time travel devices, more high-minded science fiction projects must go in depth in order to differentiate themselves. While it certainly fleshed out its complicated time travel mythology, the 2004 science fiction horror film The Butterfly Effect is guilty of not entirely committing to its dark tone. However, The Butterfly Effect considered using four different endings before a more optimistic conclusion was given to the theatrical cut.

Ashton Kutcher went from a Pizza Hut commercial to becoming an A-list actor, and has showcassed his versatility in both comedy and drama. Kutcher's success isn't limited to acting; he also made astute investments in tech startups like Skype, Uber, and Airbnb. His unconventional journey from a biochemical engineering student to Hollywood success is a testament to his adaptability and courage to pursue opportunities.

Ashton Kutcher, a name synonymous with Hollywood success, surprisingly began his acting career with a Pizza Hut commercial. Later, he truly broke out in the That '70s Show cast, where he portrayed the lovable yet dim-witted Michael Kelso. This role not only launched his acting career but also made him a household name. Following this success, Kutcher transitioned smoothly into film. He starred in romantic comedies like Just Married and No Strings Attached, as well as in more serious roles in films like The Butterfly Effect,...

What If...? Season 2 explores the Multiverse and the Butterfly Effect, showcasing how minor decisions can change fate. The Space Stone's power in What If...? is slightly different from its display in the MCU, imbuing people with identical superpowers. The introduction of the Mohawk characters in What If...? represents a significant milestone, as they are the first original characters in the MCU without comic book origins.

After nearly two decades, the MCU has depicted an original superhero origin story in What If...? Season 2 and has retconned the power of one Infinity Stone. What If...? Season 2 has explored the Multiverse and the timelines in which both major and minor decisions have changed the course of fate in mind-bending depictions of the Butterfly Effect in the MCU. The most recent episode, What If...Kahhori Reshaped The World?, surrounds the fate of the Space Stone and the effects of Odin choosing to wield it...
