Studios love a trendy needle drop in their trailers. The 2010s were especially fraught with movie previews set to Imagine Dragons tunes, which might have been single-handedly responsible for the band being unduly maligned and declared "the new Nickelback" by musicophiles. Sorry, but I gotta defend my boys; one of them's from my hometown!

The problem wasn't the songs but how they were used -- that and, in the case of Imagine Dragons, how often they were utilized. When the trailer for "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" deployed "It's Time," the band's debut single was seamlessly meshed with clips from Stephen Chbosky's bittersweet coming-of-age drama. However, when "Believer" suddenly hit in the teaser for "Murder on the Orient Express," it just shattered the mood. This wasn't a carefully-constructed attempt to enhance the murder-mystery's chilly atmosphere, it was Hollywood aspiring to be "hip" in a painfully obvious stab at...

Pearl Jam kicked off their UK/European tour in Dublin, Ireland over the weekend with a tribute to two of the country’s greatest musicians, Shane MacGowan and Sinead O’Connor.

To kick off the show’s encore, Eddie Vedder took the stage solo and performed a cover of Warren Zevon’s “Keep Me in Your Heart” in honor of MacGowan and O’Connor. Watch fan-captured footage below.

Last month, Vedder closed out the band’s spring American tour by covering Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt,” which he dedicated to “certain names that I so deeply wish were on the guestlist tonight, but we lost them too early.”

After touring Europe this summer, Pearl Jam will return to America for more shows in late August. If you don’t already have tickets, you can pick them up here.

As fans eagerly wait for Elden Ring‘s Dlc, Shadow of the Erdtree, another Soulslike game is coming to Xbox Game Pass this month: Lords of the Fallen (2023). Elden Ring indeed has a loyal and dedicated fanbase but Lords of the Fallen could potentially hurt its sales when the Dlc comes out in June 2024.

Lords of the Fallen

Developed by Hexworks and published by Ci Games, Lords of the Fallen received mixed-to-positive reviews at the time of its release and sold over one million units within 10 days after its release. Apart from this, 10 more games are coming to Xbox Game Pass this month, including Ninja Theory’s highly anticipated game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

When Showtime premiered Penny Dreadful a decade ago, we altogether expected a grand monster mash-up. And certainly, series creator John Logan delivered just that over the course of the three seasons that followed. But he also gave viewers something that we couldn’t possibly have anticipated: a horror drama of uncommon depth and crushing beauty. It is for that reason that all these years later, we still can’t help but hope he’ll reconsider his decision to end the show after just 27 episodes with the death of Eva Green’s Vanessa Ives. (Read TVLine’s 2016 interview with Logan here.

Jane Wiseman is reuniting with former Netflix content chief Cindy Holland at Sister.

Wiseman, who departed as head of comedy at the streaming giant in 2020, will serve as head of U.S. television and report directly to Holland.

At Sister — which is led by CEO Holland, Cco Jane Featherstone and executive chair Elisabeth Murdoch — Wiseman will specifically focus on developing and producing premium scripted programming.

The hire marks a reunion for Wiseman and Holland, who both worked together for seven years at the streaming giant. Wiseman joined Netflix in 2013 as an early member of Holland’s content team and developed hits including Dead to Me, Russian Doll, Grace and Frankie, Master of None, Narcos, Ozark and Big Mouth, among others.

Since exiting Netflix, Wiseman has served as a consultant for a variety of streamers and most recently was at Amazon MGM Studios.

“Sister’s slate is ambitious, audacious and artist-forward,...

It’s always a big week for the genre when a horror icon slashes back into our lives, and this week marks the return of killer doll “Chucky” to the small screen. But he’s not coming alone…

Here’s all the new horror releasing April 8, 2024 – April 14, 2024!

The world of WWE could not have been more interesting. While over the years fans have witnessed several iconic rivalries and matches, it is the upcoming tag match of Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes that is slated to be one of the biggest matches in the history of WWE.

And it is this recent iconic rivalry that has been keeping fans at the edge of their seats thanks to the many grueling and entertaining promos stemming out of it. Needless to say, it has been Rock’s brutal thrashing of Cody Rhodes that made things even more entertaining.

Years Before Rekha & Sanjay Dutt’s Linkup Rumors Surfaced, Nargis Called Her A Witch. (Photo Credit – IMDb/Instagram)

Indian actress Rekha ruled the cinema world for years and is considered a legend. On the one hand, she had an illustrious career in showbiz, while on the other, that is, in her personal life, love alluded to the Umrao Jaan star. She has been linked with several actors, and her affair with Amitabh Bachchan is still a hot topic. Her linkups were infamous back in the day, and it once prompted Sanjay Dutt’s mother, Nargis, to pass a controversial statement against the veteran actress.

A few years later, there were rumors about Sanjay and Rekha’s affair, and some even claimed that the duo got married in a secret ceremony. From Akshay Kumar to Shatrughan Sinha, the Silisila actress has been linked with them all. People were left stunned when...

It’s Oscar night! While some of us might may feel the Academy Awards have lost their lustre over the years a bit, it can’t be denied that over the last twenty years, so absolutely amazing movies have won for Best Picture. And, well, some pretty lame movies won too. If this poll, we want you to choose your favorite, and then, in the comments, let us know what you think the worst is. For me, the choice is pretty easy: Crash. While I enjoyed it back in 2004, I can’t say it’s aged all that well. The Artist also really didn’t deserve Best Picture. Am I right?

The post Poll: What’s Your Favorite Best Picture...

The western genre has been so pervasive throughout the entire history of the movies, and it is hard to imagine doing anything in it that hasn’t already been done. Viggo Mortensen, in writing, directing, producing and co-starring in only his second film behind the camera (after 2020’s Falling) finds a moving, if tragic, love story to play against the stunning landscape of the circa-1860s West, and somehow it all feels new. John Ford and Howard Hawks would love this movie.

The Dead Don’t Hurt is a title that promises something else, but without giving away spoilers, it ultimately feels right for this story of Holder Olsen (Mortensen), a Danish immigrant who falls hard for Vivienne Le Coudy (a luminous Vicky Krieps), who he meets in San Francisco. Wanting some quiet peace in his life, they move together to Elk Flats, Nevada, and start what appears to be an idyllic life together.

Fox News turned up on the heat on Tucker Carlson, sending the ousted host a cease-and-desist letter a day before he was expected to address the indictment of Donald Trump in his third episode, according to a Monday report by Axios.

Fox did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Carlson lawyer Harmeet Dhillon corroborated the action, tweeting: “My friend and client Tucker Carlson will not be silenced – by the far left or by Fox News,” and told Axios that Fox is “now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election.”

Carlson is under contract and is still being paid through 2025 by Fox News, which believes Carlson’s DIY Twitter show falls under its noncompete. The erstwhile “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host and his lawyers say Twitter is not a Fox News competitor, and that he has a fundamental First Amendment right to give his opinions on social media.

“Hurt but not defeated.” That’s the direction filmmaker Martha Coolidge gave to her star Nicolas Cage as they shot the pivotal breakup scene in the ’80s classic “Valley Girl.” In a filmed conversation from 2003 between the two for the film’s twentieth anniversary, Cage told Coolidge that he has “used that direction ever since” in all of his work.

As the iconic ’80s spin on “Romeo and Juliet” celebrates its 40th anniversary on April 29, and Cage returns to the big screen with his latest film “Renfield” — in which he plays the centuries old Prince of Darkness himself, Count Dracula, recovering from the latest attempt on his life with his familiar Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) in New Orleans — it’s clear that the impact of her words still resonate in the performances of the idiosyncratic actor.

He was just 17 years old when he auditioned for the role that would change his life.

The game of Big Brother can be mentally challenging. Hannah Chaddha revealed how she feels years after season 23 even though it led to making history for the show and broke down barriers for future houseguests.

Hannah Chaddha was in ‘Big Brother 23’ Hannah Chaddha on ‘Big Brother 23’ | CBS ©2021 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

Big Brother fans have seen alliances form before, but big ones usually don’t last. Tiffany Mitchell, Kyland Young, Derek Frazier, Xavier Prather, and Azah Awasum formed The Cookout in the first week. They later included Chaddha.

They were the Black houseguests and their mission was to have the first Black winner of Big Brother. Mitchell came up with a plan for all of them to align with someone outside the alliance. This helped them keep tabs on their strategy. If someone in The Cookout were on the block, they would have the votes to evict the other person.

Seth Rogen is offering a hilarious response to Kanye West’s recent revelation that watching a Jonah Hill movie deflated his well-documented antisemitism.

West has made headlines in recent months for a flurry of antisemitic comments, including an incendiary tweet claiming he was going “death [sic] con 3 On Jewish People,” and expressing his admiration for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Dans La Brume

This year's Fantasia International Film Festival will open with the North American première of Daniel Roby's Dans La Brume, it was announced last night. The film, which tells the story of a family's attempts to survive after Paris is struck by an earthquake and filled with a mysterious fog, stars Romain Duris, Olga Kurylenko and Fantine Harduin.

The hotly anticipated horror, science fiction and fantasy festival also revealed some of the other big titles that it will be featuring this year. These include the world premières of Tales From The Hood 2, Hurt, Among The Living and The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot. There's also new animé to looks forward to in the form of Penguin Highway and Aragne: Sign Of Vermillion. Documentary premières include People's Republic Of Desire and Boiled Angels: The Trial Of Mike Diana.

A special Action! Achievement Award will be bestowed upon high-kicking.

Besides managing Lady Gaga in Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” remake (out October 5), this year Sam Elliott will star in another movie that sounds original in every way. “The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then he Bigfoot” will have its world premiere this July at the Fantasia International Film Festival. Writer-director Robert Kryzkowski’s first feature — executive produced by twice-Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Sayles — casts Elliott as a WWII veteran who American and Canadian cops send to slay a plague-riddled beast.

A full line-up for Montreal’s annual celebration of horror/sci-fi/action cinema is forthcoming on June 28, but festival organizers have released the names of several notable entries from its 22nd program.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called American Idol, which paid tribute to Prince on Sunday — and sent two more singers packing.

Not even a consolatory embrace from the giant arms of guest mentor Nick Jonas could cheer up this week’s eliminated singers: Jurnee and Catie Turner. (For those keeping score at home, that makes this season’s Top 5: Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Maddie Poppe, Cade Foehner, Gabby Barrett and Michael. J. Woodard.)

As disappointed as I am that Jurnee has reached the end of her… journey… I can’t say I’m surprised to see her go.

Few plays work well in a cinematic environment. Singular locations grow restrictive, waves of dialogue sound superfluous, and sometimes the acting (suited for the stage) is too over-the-top to take seriously. Based on the 1996 stage-play by N.J. Crisp, That Good Night ticks these off like a to-do list.

In his last performance before his death in January last year, John Hurt plays Ralph – an agèd screenwriter living opulently in Portugal with his younger wife Anna (Sofia Helin). After receiving news of a terminal illness, Ralph tries to secretly make amends with his son Michael (Max Brown) by inviting him over. But this becomes difficult, as Ralph can never find the right opportunity to tell him.

Following the curse of most theatre-to-film adaptations, That Good Night doesn’t seem to desire a filmic presence. It mostly consists of monotonously stunted shots of actors acting, as if director Eric Styles and cinematographer...

A cool new fan trailer has surfaced for Avengers: Infinity War that is cut together in the style of Logan using Johnny Cash's song "Hurt". I know we've seen a lot of fan trailers in this style, but this one is particularly done well and I especially liked how it focused on the relationship of Thanos and Gamora, which is something that will most likely be explored more in Avengers: Infinity War. The trailer was cut together by Darth Blender and it came with the following description:

"In the near future, a weary Thanos cares for an ailing Stan Lee in a hide out on the Space border. But Thanos's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young arrives, being pursued by mistery forces."...

Blanc/Biehn Productions recently announced a multi-picture deal with executive producer Lony Ruhmann (read about that here), and we now have more details, including the directors who will be helming all of their upcoming projects.

From the Press Release:

Jennifer Blanc-Biehn (Wrong Cops, "Dark Angel," The Victim, Among Friends) will direct her husband, Michael Biehn, along with Evie Louise Tompson (The Call, Hidden in the Woods) in the sci-fi tinged thriller The Girl.

Brianne Davis (Among Friends, Jarhead, Prom Night) will direct The Night Visitor 2: Heather's Story. “We are so excited since she understands the vision, having starred as the lead in The Night Visitor,” exclaims Blanc-Biehn.

In case you’ve missed any of our coverage so far, you can catch up on all things Twilight-related right here, most recently including all our photos and interviews from the film’s UK premiere.

Though I’m personally still yet to see any of the first three Twilight films, the things we’ve been seeing for the beginning of the end have certainly been encouraging me to play a little catch-up, because it really does look like this is going to be good.

A new clip has debuted at Yahoo! Movies for this Friday's The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 . You check out the scene, entitled "Hurt My Family", in the player below.

Drafthouse Films, Timpson Films, and Magnet Releasing have hired a whopping two women to be a part of the 26-chapter horror anthology film The ABCs of Death.

The film, which will begin shooting in June 2011, is based on the idea that each director is assigned a letter from the alphabet representing a horrific word to act as a springboard for a short horror movie. Think , "A is for Autopsy", "B is for Bog Monster", et cetera.

The 25 directors chosen to be a part of this are all fairly new, young-ish up-and-comers like Jason Eisener (Hobo With a Shotgun), Nacho Vigalondo (TimeCrimes), Srdjan Spasojevic (A Serbian Film), Banjong Pisanthanakun (Shutter), Adrian Garcia Bogliano (Cold Sweat), Ernesto Diaz Espinoza (Mirageman), Gadi Harel (DeadGirl), Thomas Malling (Norwegian Ninja), Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police), Simon Rumley (The Living and the Dead), Tak Sakaguchi and Yuji Shimomura (Yakuza Weapon), Marcel Sarmiento (DeadGirl), Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre...

The All Things Horror screening series salutes female horror directors with this special screening of one feature-length movie and three short films all directed by women.

The feature film that will be screening is Fugue by Barbara Stepansky, a modern-day haunted house movie. Charlotte (Abigail Mittel) moves in with her boyfriend Howard (Richard Gunn) and immediately begins to see ghostly figures haunting the property. Things get even weirder when Abigail learns that the last eight months of her life have been completely erased from her memory. You can watch the Fugue movie trailer below.

In addition to Fugue, All Things Horror will also be screening these short films:

The 2009 Twilight fever hit hard this fall and left many victims behind; however, it seems that the fever has passed, and like the bears, the Twilight (2008) fans have gone into hibernation. Mid-January, major news hit the Twilight world, but so many fans were in hibernation, few got fired up when they heard The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) DVD release date was slated for March 20, 2010. Twilight fever began last August, when the cast and the crew returned to Vancouver to film The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010). The constant news, rumors, and celebrity spotting didn't let up until well after the November 20th, 2009 premiere. With New Moon gone from many theaters, Twilight fans have had no choice but to curl up for the long winter and wait patiently for the symptoms of the fever to resurface. While the vampires and werewolves prepare for the battle of a lifetime in Eclipse, fans are treated...

You know it's a slow DVD release week when two of the offerings are a couple of rather obscure films whose main selling points are that they star folks from The Twilight Saga. And speaking of Twilight, if you can look at the new cover art for the Near Dark Blu-ray without thinking of those sparkly vamps, then you're one of the lucky ones.

So, which of the Twi-kids do we have on tap? Ashley Greene (who plays Edward's "sister" Alice) can be found in Summer's Moon (originally called Summer's Blood ... hmmmm, wonder why they made that name change?), in which a family of serial killers stalk a young woman out to find the father she's never known. Then we have Jackson Rathbone (who portrays, coincidentally, Alice's husband, Jasper Hale) in Hurt. In that film a recently widowed family is forced to move into their uncle's salvage yard, and soon...
