Vanderpump Rulesbecame the talk of the internetin Season 10 with Scandoval. A cheating scandal betweenTom SandovalandRaquel Levissshook the series to its core and reminded audiences of one simple fact: No man onVanderpump Rulescan be trusted. Every single one of the main cast members at some point or another has cheated on their partner, has made comments about the women and their bodies, and has just flat-out been gross in ways that are forgotten because of some other drama they’ve stirred up....

Shakespeare is not holy writ. If people want to set his plays to different time periods or use the plot as the inspiration for another story (likeThrone of Bloodor10 Things I Hate About You), that’s fine. Even something likeRosencrantz and Guildenstern Are DeadusesHamletas a springboard to reach ideas that go beyond Shakespeare’s original play. But it takes some balls to look atHamlet, and I think, “I can fix this.” And yet that’s exactly whatClaire McCarthy’s adaptation ofLisa Klein’s novelOphelia....

In a surprise to absolutely no one, FX has orderedRyan Murphy’s new pilotPoseto series. The dance musical series was hatched by Murphy,Brad Falchuk, andSteven Canalsand features the largest cast of transgender actors in series regular roles, and the largest recurring LGBTQ cast, ever for a scripted series. The story takes place in 1980s New York and juxtaposes several segments of life and society, from the rise of the luxury Trump-era universe to the downtown social and literary scene to the ball culture world....

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The Worldis a film that, beyond its video game-inspired narrative and beyond-stylish visual language, harbors a simple coming-of-age lesson. To paraphrase the movie itself, it’s about earning the power of self-respect. As such, the latest news related toEdgar Wright’s cult classic feels like the logical next level in relationship to this goal: A virtual readthrough for charity (viaEntertainment Weekly)! On July 20 at 1pm EST, Wright will be virtually reuniting with cast members likeMichael Cera,Mary Elizabeth Winstead,Chris Evans,Aubrey Plaza,Ellen Wong,Kieran Culkin,Mark Webber,Johnny Simmons,Alison Pill,Satya Bhabha,Mae Whitman,Brandon Routh, andJason Schwartzman....

We’re just about three weeks away from theScream Queenspremiere on Fox soRyan Murphyopted to unveil the “super-sized” main title sequence on his YouTube channel. We know that the show is a horror comedy and I thought I had a firm handle on the tone, but based on this, it looks like Murphy is taking the satire much further than I thought. I dig the song, but the repetitive screaming is a bit much....

Selena Gomezhad a stellar debut onSaturday Night Livethis past weekend. There were so many memorable sketches and one of the funniest of the episode was Intuition. This was an all too relatable scenario that goes down the hilariously dark rabbit hole of trying to trust your significant other. In the sketch Gomez andSNLcast memberChris Reddplay a couple trying to enjoy a night in, but once Redd goes out to get some paper towels that is when the humorous chaos begins....

Okay, for starters, let me just say that I don’t come for someone’s job lightly. But the producers of the Netflix seriesLove Is Blindbroke a major promise to the viewers following casting issues after Season 6 ofthe reality dating series, and at the very least, it seems like an overhaul of some kind is needed to correct course.Because the series is failing to deliver on its premise, which is that it is possible to not only fall in love on a reality series, but to fall in love enough to want to rush down the aisle with the partner they met on the series, sight unseen....

Not much is known about theSpider-Man: HomecomingsequelSpider-Man: Far from Home, and that’s exactly how Marvel Studios wants it. However, given thatFar from Homeis a Sony Pictures release, Marvel doesn’t exactly get to decide how the film is marketed or even when it’s released—no doubt Marvel would rather have let the whole “Spider-Man is dead afterInfinity War” thing linger a little while longer before set photos ofTom Hollandalive and well shootingFar from Homehit the interwebs....

WhenSteven Soderberghquit filmmaking for (approximately) two and a half years, he made an interesting comment about wanting to direct big-budget projects. Soderbergh, a proven box-office draw with hisOcean’s Elevenfranchise, has often been called in to discuss big action spectacles and sci-fi adventures, but he’s never been handed the reins, largely because of the control over creative decisions and editing which producers and studios require for all big-budget projects. This wouldn’t be such a problem if it wasn’t clear that many producers and higher-ups at studios have absolutely no interest in genuine creativity, artistic ambition, or even movies in general....

Amazon Studios just debuted the first footage for their upcomingSuspiriaremake at CinemaCon, and the social media reactions are the kind of crazy intense and profusely praising responses that drive hype and curiosity levels through the roof.Suspiriais one of my favorite movies of all time andLuca Guadagninodirected myfavorite movie of 2017, so you would think my hype for the Guadagnino’s remake couldn’t have been higher, but you would be wrong. From the sound of it, this movie is going to be absolutely brutal and very definitely fucked up in a way that honors the shocking experience of watchingDario Argento’s classic, even if Guadagnino has no intention of mimicking its iconic style....

2022 was a fantastic year for movies, and the action genre got quite a few gems bound to go down as modern cult classics. FromTop Gun: MavericktoEverything Everywhere All At Once, it was an incredible time for adrenaline-filled thrill fests. RELATED:The Best Action Movies of 2022, Based on Their Rotten Tomatoes Score It wasn’t just action movies that had a great year, though, but also action characters. From heroes with hearts of gold, to nuanced and morally grey antiheroes, to layered villains with complex motivations, audiences got to see many fascinating characters with as much personality as they had fun fighting abilities....

Back in the day, nature documentaries used to feel like classroom field trips: voiceover, facts, rinse, repeat. But something shifted. Now, Netflix and other companies are building them like cinematic epics: stranger, more intimate, more emotionally alive.These movies and shows wind up being not just films about the planet but portraits of wonder, grief, and survival. Some feel like dreams. Others hit like eulogies. A few are strikingly dramatic. But they usually hint at the same question: look at what we have....
