Paramount Pictures is reviving theG.I. Joefranchise, albeit in a very different kind of way. While the studio tried to launch aG.I. Joemovie series with 2009’sG.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the fairly expensive film failed to make much of a splash with only $307 million worldwide. The studio opted to retool their approach with the sequel, bringing in Franchise Viagra himselfDwayne Johnsonto star inG.I. Joe: Retaliation, which was a little bit cheaper and made a little bit more money....

Legendary heavy metal band Metallica approves of Eddie Munson’s glorious rendition of “Master of Puppets” in theStranger Thingsseason four finale, it seems. The iconic metal band took to Instagram after the final two episodes of the season hit Netflix to praise the finale, and revealed in a statement that it was an “honor” for them “to be a big part of Eddie’s journey”. For those unfamiliar, Stranger Things' season four finale hinges on a performance of “Master of Puppets” by Eddie (Joseph Quinn), as he and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) are used as bait to distract the ugly and terrifying demobats in the Upside-Down....

IFC Films has released theSword of Trusttrailer. The new movie fromLynn Shelton(Humpday) centers on a pawnshop owner (Marc Maron) who gets his hands on a sword that the owners claim is proof that the South won the Civil War. Despite all evidence to the contrary, it turns out there’s a huge black market for the item, which leads to a wild journey through conspiracy theories and Southern disillusionment. The movie looks charming enough, and definitely something you’d watch on streaming if you had a lazy Friday night available....

USA’s mid-2000s sci-fi seriesThe 4400is getting a reboot at The CW, and honestly, it’s a rare case of that idea being a decent one. Though it did run for four seasons, the original4400was never as appreciated in its day as it should have been, because people didn’t really go to USA for sci-fi and everyone was caught up withLost. ButThe 4400(created byRené EchevarriaandScott Peters) had a really interesting premise and a great cast – it starredMahershala Ali,Jacqueline McKenzie,Joel Gretsch,Laura Allen,Patrick Flueger,Megalyn Echikunwoke,Jenni Baird,Billy CampbellandPeter Coyote, alongside guest stars likeSummer GlauandGarret Dillahunt– and was a kind of superhero / X-Men-esque series before that became typical TV fodder....

[Note: This is a repost of our review from the Toronto International Film Festival; (Re)Assignmenthas been re-titledThe Assignment;it enters limited releas this weekend] Brazenly tasteless and ridiculous, there are plenty of reasons to dismiss and dislike the latest feature from action movie pioneerWalter Hill.The Assignmentis a project that he has apparently spent 40 years developing, but it feels more like something that should have been made all those decades ago rather than a project that needed time to percolate....

On Sunday,The Night Ofwill come to its conclusion, and we might find out the identity of the killer. But even if we fail to learn who killed Andrea Cornish (Sofia Black D’Elia), that doesn’t really matter because althoughThe Night Ofmay offer us a whodunit, that’s not the series’ primary concern. Through seven episodes, we’ve seen that creatorsRichard PriceandSteven Zaillianare far more interested in the machinery of the criminal justice system than finding the identity of the person behind a fictional murder....

It’s not often that when someone asks you what you’re watching, you can say with a straight face “A Hong Kong action horror kung fu comedy.” but that is exactly whatMr. Vampire, the 1985 genre mash-up directed byRicky Lau, is. The film is a highly influential entry in the jiangshi film genre and combines slapstick comedy, kung fu, and horror to delightfully perplexing effect. The movie helped spawn a slew of copycats in themid-late ‘80sin China and has remained a cult favorite among fans of ridiculous horror comedy classics likeEvil Dead IIandRe-Animator....

Her acting chops have been obvious from the start, but in 2000 she delved just as successfully into the business side of filmmaking, founding her own production company called Type A Films. Her company later became Pacific Standard in 2012 and eventually evolved into Hello Sunshine in 2016. WhileReese Witherspoon’s work as a producerhas spawned some great films and TV shows,Legally Blondestands as her crowning achievement and has become a beloved pop culture staple that has one of the best endings in Hollywood (what, like it’s hard?...
