I had no illusions when I signed up withMoviePass. Paying $10 a month for the ability to see one movie a day in luxury seating theaters was just too good to be true. That didn’t mean I wasn’t going to take advantage of every moment of it. In fact, at $10 a month, I saw close to $800 worth of movies in a little over seven months. That is is probably small compared to what some users got out of it....

Spoiler Warning: The Umbrella Academy Season 3 In a show likeThe Umbrella Academy, which features plot lines that often involve apocalyptic events and time travel chaos, it would be easy for characters to fall to the wayside and become mere pawns to the overall story.

In a new interview, director Chad Stahelski opened up on his motivation behind including the apparent betrayal in the film’s narrative. “When we came up with the wholeJohn Wickway we wanted to do this on the original, my partner David Leitch, Keanu and I all sat down, and we were like, “Look, these are the things we hate about some of the action movies that are currently going on....
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honeyseemed to be heading to a whole new audience this weekend with a planned release in Hong Kong. However it seems that two days before the movie’s debut, the film has been unceremoniously pulled from over 30 theaters. While there has been no official word on exactly why the movie has been scrapped, it is believed that censorship pressure from China over a strange long-standing crackdown on Winnie the Pooh himself is to blame for the cancelation....

Much has been made of the fact that writer/director David Cronenberg’s latest film,The Shrouds, is inspired by the death of his wife of 38 years, Carolyn, who succumbed to cancer in 2017. This personal tragedy has resulted in a movie that is, in a way which is more effective upon reflection than while actually watching it, all about grief. Specifically, it’s about the grieving process, which everyone experiences differently. But Cronenberg taps into some universal notions about it; the grieving process is messy, illogical, coldly unsympathetic, and filled with questions that will never be answered....

When it comes tohorrormovies, the free streaming platformTubihas all the others beat regarding the amount of content on offer. This, however, is a double-edged sword, as while the platform offers a plethora of popular titles, countless indie and B-movies often get overlooked. Personally, I adore diving through the selections of Tubi’s catalog and going into films blind. While the results are not always stellar, you sometimes find gems that are certainly worthy of more fanfare....
Darkcomediesaren’t for everyone. More often than not, they tackle real-world subjects with a tongue-in-cheek approach, which can provealienating for the more sensitive viewers(especially those who have dealt with the severe issue the movie is flippantly discussing). Even classic dark comedies such asHeathersgenerated controversy at the time of release and continue to do so. Yet, some dark comedies stillcheck both the critical and commercial boxes, likeGrosse Pointe Blank,In Bruges, orThe War of the Roses....
