The idea of a crossover between two of Hasbro’s biggest toy brands-turned-film franchises,TransformersandG.I. Joe, has always been so exciting. These two have a long history of crossover in the comics, long beforeTransformers: Rise of the Beastsfinally established thatboth series exist in the same cinematic universe, but you likely didn’t realize that there were some behind-the-scenes crossovers as well. This is particularly true concerning the development of the first live-actionTransformersmovie (yes, the originalMichael Bayflick from 2007), which was originally intended to be aG....

It’s difficult to imagine anybody other thanAlan Ritchsonin the role of Jack Reacher, but, not too long ago, the character was played in two theatrical movies by none other thanTom Cruise. Reacher creatorLee Childwasn’t exactly a fan of Cruise’s casting as the famously towering character, and the series fizzled out after just two installments.

The reign of Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, was one of the most influential — and fraught — in Western European history.

If you love your thrillers southern, psychological, and unforgiving,Them That Followis an underrated ensemble piece that disturbs to the bone. LikeThe Devil All the TimeandThe Starling Girl, the film gives an intimate look at the machinations of isolated religious rule without falling into the “hicksploitation” of thrillers likeDeliverance. But where this film exceeds expectations is in its unrelenting unease. Led by nuanced performances – bolstered by impressive accent work –Them That Followtells the story of Mara (Alice Englert), the daughter of local Pentecostal, snake-handling pastor Lamuel (The White Lotus’Walton Goggins),toeing a line he’s very comfortable with: that between charismatic and sinister....
