The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends, a blanket term to cover the many iterations of the cartoon characters seen on TV over the years, arrived almost 60 years ago. The animated variety show followed the misadventures of Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose as they were pursued by Russian-esque spies Boris and Natasha under the orders of Fearless Leader. But there were also other segments like “Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties”, “Peabody’s Improbable History” and “Fractured Fairy Tales” to break up the action....

The dramatic rise, fall, and surprising resurgence ofNicolas Cageis a story so strange and unpredictable that it’s almost as exciting as one of the films that he appeared in. It seemed like afterhis Academy Award win forLeaving Las Vegasthat Cage had the potential to be the nextMarlon BrandoorDaniel Day-Lewis, but unfortunately, his career hit a downward spiral during the early 21st century when he started appearing in many generic genre films, many of which were released directly to DVD or VOD services....

Even thoughPeacemaker’s first season ended last month, fans still can not stop talking about how extremely fun and entertaining the show was. One of the best parts of every episode was watching the intro dance sequence with “Do Ya Wanna Taste it” byWig Wamblasting in the background and a couple of creative fans have taken it upon themselves to do their own stylized intros. The first fan-made intro comes courtesy of the Brick Cucumber YouTube channel where all our favorite characters are turned into Legos....

Last year, whenPopstar: Never Stop Never Stoppingwas filming in Los Angeles, I got to visit the set with a few other reporters. At the time, the film was shrouded in mystery, and we were all curious about the story and music. However, as a big fan of The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg,Akiva SchafferandJorma Taccone), I knew whatever they were making would be funny and original. After watching Andy Samberg perform on stage as Conner4Real and talking with a number of the cast and the filmmakers about what they were trying to make, I left the set confident the finished film would be extremely funny....

Whatever you think aboutBlade Runner 2049, it’s impossible to watch that movie and deny that it is incredibly director-driven. Even though it’s a sequel, and even though it still feels like part of the world of the originalBlade Runner, directorDenis Villeneuve’s stamp and signature is felt in every frame. From the pace to the themes to the score and cinematography,Blade Runner 2049fits right in line with Villeneuve’s other films likeSicarioandArrival, and it’s pretty terrific that we can have such a signature piece of filmmaking fit so well with what’s also something of a blockbuster sequel....

Sung Kangis soaring as an actor. Not only did he recently join theStar Warsfranchise viaObi-Wan Kenobi, but he’s also a fan-favorite in one of the biggest film series of all time,Fast and Furious. Clearly Kang’s found great success in the industry as an actor, but he’s never quite been able to shake something he noticed back when he was first starting his career; there was a lack of opportunity. Fast and Furious' Han is all the proof you need that Kang knows how to take a supporting character and make him feel whole while wedging his way into fans’ hearts....

With directorPierre Perifel’sThe Bad Guysnow playing in theaters, I recently spoke withCraig Robinson,Marc Maron, andAnthony Ramosabout making the animated action comedy. During the fun interview, they talked about what they’re most excited for families to see in the film, what people would be surprised to learn about the making ofThe Bad Guys, and how Ramos ended up singing in the movie. In addition, Ramos teases theTransformers: Rise of the Beastsmovie and has fun explaining to his co-stars that he’s not a robot....

The X-Men film franchise is usually regarded as one of the cornerstones of comic book movie history, and for good reason. Not only did it bring one of the most popular superhero teams to the silver screen, but it was one of several film franchises that helped revitalize the superhero genre alongsideSam Raimi’sSpider-ManandChristopher Nolan’sDark Knighttrilogy.Deadpool & Wolverinecontinues the trend that other films in the X-Men franchise — particularlyX2: X-Men United, X-Men: First Class,X-Men: Days of Future PastandLogan— have utilized in their storytelling:they put their focus on the characters first, and the powers second....

WhenThe Conjuringhit theaters back in July of 2013, it was a smash success – one of those rare R-rate horror films that connects with audiences on a massive scale. But such seems to be the gift ofJames Wan, the director behind three hit horror franchises (SawandInsidiousbeing the other two), who cemented himself as a box office force with last year’s record-breakingFurious 7, and who will leave the ghastly and ghoulish behind in favor of superheroes when he goes off to directAquaman....
