The Mandalorian is expected to return for its third season in 2023. The Disney+ series has been a huge success of Star Wars, effectively jump-starting the franchise’s foray into streaming, with The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi being successes in their own right as well. More than anything, The Mandalorian centered a Mandalorian bounty hunter, the first in the Star Wars franchise, and brought a newfound popularity to this complex culture of people....

Here is our conversation. Do you feel that Pulp Fiction is truly the defining movie of the 90s? Rosanna Arquette: Oh, absolutely. You know what? It might even be that way on Blu-ray, with all these new kids discovering it. I have a teenager, and all of her guy friends are loving this movie. They hadn’t seen it before. It’s going to have a whole new audience. The most striking thing about this Blu-ray is that it really showcases the way in which Quentin Tarantino shot the movie....

After the deadly on-set accident that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, it seemed like production on Rust would never be finished. In October 2021, Hutchins had been preparing to start filming a scene for the Western when a prop gun held by lead star Alec Baldwin discharged a live round, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. An investigation was launched into the incident, but at this time, no criminal charges have been filed against Baldwin or any other crew members involved with the production....

Sitcoms have been a popular form of entertainment ever since the 1950’s when I Love Lucy started to dominate viewers’ televisions. There’s something comforting about these shows, from the comedic everyday situations, to the well-developed characters, to the romances that always pop up somewhere along the way. That’s why audience’s love them! They build a certain trust with their audiences that they will do what’s best for their characters.

Spoiler Warning: Stranger Things Season 4 Stranger Things season four was daring, dreary, and downright dark. Handfuls of hapless Hawkinites were harmed during the season’s first seven episodes. Those who escaped a gruesome death at the hands of the villainous Vecna found themselves staring down the barrel of either an angry mob of concerned citizens or a mad scientist’s malicious machinations, neither of which seemed all that desirable. All of the Stranger Things audiences’ favorite characters were back for season four (and it must be added that they all managed to survive the sordid season’s start), including, but not limited to: David Harbour as Chief Hopper, Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Fine Wolfhard s Mike Wheeler, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, and Joe Keery as Steve Harrington....

MOVIES LIFT TIME WARNER Time Warner reported better-than-expected earnings for its second quarter Wednesday, with its movie and cable businesses substantially offsetting declines in its publishing and AOL units.

(Revenue from The Dark Knightwill be reported in its third-quarter filing.) Speaking with analysts on Wednesday, Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes said that the success of Sex and the City was particularly gratifying because the franchise has benefited so many parts of the company....

ABC (W)HOOPS IT UP The first two games of the NBA finals produced the best initial ratings for the championship series in four years. Sunday’s telecast, which drew 13.5 million viewers, attracted an audience that was 60 percent larger than the comparable game a year ago. Although it did not land in the top ten (largely because three shows tied for ninth place) the new CBS drama Swingtown got off to a solid start with 9 million viewers....

DreamWorks Pictures has set Brett Ratner to direct the long-gestating adaptation of The 39 Clues.

Legendary Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan is the master of stuntwork. No other performer has risked life and limb as frequently, or as creatively, as Chan. His films - which blend comedy, martial arts fight choreography, and heart-stopping stunts - have become classics of the action genre. He’s a star who throws caution to the wind in order to get the perfect take, and whose loyal stunt teams are considered to be the best in the industry....

It’s beginning to look like The Conners will be returning for season 3. Sara Gilbert, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy Goranson have reportedly closed new deals to return. It is believed that season 3 will consist of nineteen episodes, though the upcoming season has yet to be officially confirmed by ABC or the cast.

Creator Genndy Tartakovsky has now made it clear that Samurai Jack season 5 will be the “definitive end” to the series....
