I was all about revisiting the 1960s TV series “Lost in Space” until the movie arrived in 1998, and then I was all about letting go of “Lost in Space.” But maybe Netflix will justify its forthcoming foray into the world of the space family Robinson with the help of a twist: Actress Parker Posey will star as the scheming Dr. Smith.

A performance by Jimmy Ma went viral when he took to the ice with a shotgun spin and DJ Snake […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLtYmhj-0Kg Did you know YouTube Red fought against Amazon, AMC, Netflix, and Hulu to win the rightsto Cobra Kai, a sequel to the original 1984 Karate Kid movie? They did, and now we have actual footage of Danny LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) returning to their old characters and growling at each other to prove that no, this was not all a fever dream.

Self-styled genius and musical prankster Chilly Gonzales is the focus of Philipp Jedicke's career-spanning documentary. Piano virtuoso, serial collaborator and self-declared genius, Jason Beck is a singular figure on the music scene.

As expected, cinematographer Roger Deakins took the top prize for “Blade Runner 2049” at the 32nd annual ASC Awards at Hollywood & Highland. It was his fourth ASC award, besting the other four Oscar nominees: Bruno Delbonnel (“Darkest Hour”), Hoyte van Hoytema (“Dunkirk”), Dan Laustsen (“The Shape of Water”), and Rachel Morrison (“Mudbound”), the first female from her branch nominated by the ASC and the Academy. But can Deakins finally earn the elusive Academy Award after 14 […]

Twenty years – and over a dozen more noms – later, Newman eventually brought home an Academy Award, for the Monsters, Inc. tune "If I Didn't Have You." The statuette, you could argue, […]

As excited as people may have been for The Avengers or Spider-Man: Homecoming or Thor: Ragnarok, none of those films were preemptively held up as turning points for world cinema. Black Panther, on the other hand, is a landmark: The first superhero movie with an almost entirely black cast, and one that doesn’t shy away from difficult questions about race and […]
