Jean-Luc Godard, a pioneer of the 1960s French New Wave film movement, has remained a working filmmaker for almost seven decades. He has directed, written, produced, and edited dozens of films and changed cinema forever. Every film Godard made between his beautiful first full-length feature, Breathless (1960), and his most recent work, the 2018 avant-garde essay The Image Book, is worth seeing. Godard entered the movie industry as a critic for the influential French film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s, like Francois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, and Jacques Rivette, who also have become members of the French New Wave movement....

The infectious warmth and charm put on display by John Franklin Candy is a one-of-a-kind style that served each on-screen performance by the Canadian actor well. Bringing every role to life with genuine emotion and care, Candy was at the top of his game from his beginnings in Toronto’s branch of the famous variety improv show The Second City, to his major Hollywood roles. Though he was gone too soon after a major heart attack at the age of 43, many find it tragic to think about the John Candy movies we never got to see, though the larger-than-life personality of the late actor still managed to be enjoyed within a nice collection of classic movies spanning both the ’80s and ’90s....

He would go on to craft a prominent film career, starring in outstanding cinematic staples like White Men Can’t Jump, Natural Born Killers and The People vs....

Jeff Bridges wasn’t always a cowboy. Long before playing a downtrodden country singer in Crazy Heart (2009) and an alcoholic deputy in True Grit (2010), there was The Dude. In the ’90s, Bridges often portrayed a hapless, somewhat lost kind of everyman character. In standout films like Fearless (1991) and The Fisher King (1994), he stepped into the shoes of normal – albeit classically good-looking – guys who couldn’t help but find themselves in extraordinary situations....

Star Robert Redford was so excited about the 30-year-old film’s DVD rebirth that he momentarily put aside his Sundance duties to record a commentary for the release. “Not enough people are looking at the differences between today and yesterday,” Redford said....

The colorful actors talks about the film. Sam McMurray is an actor that’s practically done it all in his career, which includes his stint on The Tracey Ullman Show, to Drop Dead Gorgeous and now with his latest, the DVD release of Lake Placid 2.

Though he did not release any sort of statement at the time, Lawrence has now suggested that eventually the episodes will be edited, with the offensive scenes in question being removed, before being made available again....

The She-Hulk: Attorney At Law season finale was more unexpected than any previous Marvel television series. As it began to end on a high-intensity battle of Hulk(s), Jennifer Walters or Tatiana Maslany, dissatisfied by the turn of events, broke the fourth wall and entered into the real world, entering the most fantastic place. And that place was Marvel Studios. The actual production and administrative office of the Walt Disney subsidiary....

South Park is no stranger to controversy or political commentary, but the animated series may have hit an all-time high in both regards to its most recent episode. The second episode of season 23, titled Band in China, deals with the notion of censorship in the country, and how media companies avoid doing anything to upset those censors so that their content will be accepted in China. Ironically enough, that has led to the country’s censors to seemingly ban South Park....
