Stranger Things Season 3 is going to pay tribute to John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, and George Romero. The Duffer Brothers have admitted that the upcoming season will be the darkest one yet, and if they’re really taking cues from Carpenter, Cronenberg, and Romero, horror fans could be in for a real treat. With that being said, David Harbour recently revealed that the Duffer Brothers are also heavily influenced by the 1980s comedy classic Fletch, which sounds like a pretty weird juxtaposition....
DISNEY’S EARTH IN RECORD OPENING In a record-setting debut for a documentary, Disney’s Earthgrossed more than $4 million in its Wednesday (Earth Day) debut and received critical raves. Typical was Kenneth Turan’s review in the Los Angeles Times: “It would be Pollyannaish to pretend that the documentary Earth is without its problems, but the bottom line is, difficulties be damned, it shouldn’t be missed. What it does well is so remarkable that by the time the credits roll you likely won’t want it to end....

A WEEKEND WITHOUT SEQUELS For a change, not a single sequel is opening at the box office this weekend. That said, none of the films that are opening is expected to give any of the sequels that arrived earlier any serious competition. Not only that, next week they will have to compete against another sequel that is expected to be a big draw – Ocean’s 13.Analysts say that of the new releases, director Judd Apatow’s well-received comedy Knocked Up with Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl has the best chance of making any kind of showing....
LATEST PIRATES ALREADY SETS A RECORD Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s Endwill open in 4,362 theaters this weekend, beating the record of 4,252 set earlier this month by Spider-Man 3. (It’s estimated that Pirateswill appear on more than 11,000 screens.) The question being batted around by analysts is, will the film exceed Spider-Man 3’s record-setting opening weekend in ticket sales? Working against it is the fact that, unlike Spider-Man 3, World’s Endfaces some stiff competition for its opening, including Spider-Man 3itself, as well as Shrek the Third, which opened only last week....

What makes a great adventure film? A relatable hero to get behind, an iconic villain or seemingly impossible obstacle to overcome, sprawling scenes, and typically a quest of some sort. The adventure film has been a consistent crowd-pleaser ever since the birth of cinema. The 1980s, specifically, bolstered an impressive roster of adventure films. Movies that are a part of franchises but can stand on their own, and some one-off features as well....
Kicking off the long-standing franchise in 1993, Jurassic Park spawned a multimedia franchise that has crossed over almost every type of entertainment, including five sequels. The sequels might not have ever reached the heights of the first film, but they have proven to be a financial and cultural juggernaut all the same. Part of the reason for this public adoration is thanks to the talented cast members that appeared in these films throughout the years....
The Boys is getting a college-set spinoff series, and showrunner Eric Kripke offered a few more details about what fans can expect from it. Given the success of the show, it wasn’t shocking when word broke that The Boys would expand with a new spinoff.

Iceman throughout Fox’s X-Men series, something which was not lost on The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke who said of his casting, “We were thrilled that Shawn - who is, let’s be honest, an OG superhero - wanted to play the crucial part of Lamplighter.

Back in mid-July, I was invited to the post-production offices of The Brothers Bloom in Hollywood and after talking to the writer/director Rian Johnson, and watching about a half hour of footage, I simply couldn’t wait to see the flick. The film was originally set to open on October 24, in the heavily-competitive weekend alongside High School Musical 3 and Saw V. It was both good and bad news that this film was moved to December 19: good in that it was getting a prime release in Oscar-friendly December, but bad in that I’d have to wait even longer to check this out....
