WandaVisionwas Marvel’s first smash hit of 2021, and part of that has to do withKathryn Hahn’s fantastic portrayal of Agatha Harkness. However, showrunnerJac Schaefferrevealed that the cunning witch wasn’t always poised as the show’s ultimate villain. In the newRolling Stone articlethat breaks down the making of the show, Schaeffer revealed that she almost took a more benevolent approach to Agatha. “In the original conception,” Schaeffer said, “Agatha’s character was more in the mentor and magic-expert space....

The transition from being a child star to a legitimate adult actor is challenging, as many of these performers have to completely reconfigure their image to be taken seriously.Nicholas Houltdelivered two of the greatest child performances of the 21st century withAbout a BoyandThe Weather Man, but he was able toprove himself as an actor to watchby working with ambitious filmmakers likeMatthew Vaughn, Yorgos Lanthimos,andGeorge Miller. Hoult has been somewhat absent from the big screen in the last few years, as much of his time was spent giving a hilarious performance on the underrated Hulu historical comedyThe Great....

For better or worse, one of the iconic pieces of Wonder Woman’s history is the invisible jet. It’s been part of her story since 1942 because Wonder Woman could not fly on her own, but her adventures would require her to cross great distances without being detected and thus avoiding unnecessary conflicts. However, an invisible jet is somewhat difficult to depict on screen without it looking silly. But in speaking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub at theWonder Woman 1984virtual press day,co-writer and directorPatty Jenkinstalked about how she finally settled on an idea that would allow them to bring the invisible jet to the big screen:...

New Girl, which ran on Fox from 2011-18, was never one of the biggest shows on TV when it came to ratings, but for seven seasons, it was a dependable series that never really saw a big decline in its creativity. There was no jumping the shark, no exodus of stars (Damon Wayans Jr.would come and go but never stayed gone), no sudden character or setting shifts. While its characters grew, they also stayed the same, making the series welcome comfort food where you could watch these goofballs, who bickered but loved each other, get into all kinds of shenanigans....

After months of uncertainty surrounding the future ofTed Lasso, a new update fromJuno Templehas sparked renewed excitement, and sent fans rushing back to Apple TV+ for a rewatch. The series has surged back into Apple’s Top 10, currently sitting at No. 5 on the platform, which is a pretty remarkable feat for a show that hasn’t aired a new episode since Season 3 wrapped in 2023. But, as mentioned, the timing of Ted’s journey back into the top ten doesn’t seem to be a coincidence....

Star Wars: Skeleton Crewarrived quicker than the Millenium Falcon making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs (don’t tell Han Solo we said that), but as with all good things, it eventually came to an end. One of the many bright spots in the show wasJude Law, who portraysthe charismatic space pirate Jod Na Nawood. It was speculated before the show that Law would play a Jedi, and while his character is adept at using the Force, he quickly proves he’s no Jedi....

The CW’sArrowis back after a month on hiatus and although they’ve freshened things up a bit in the action department, the dramatic treads are starting to wear thin from traveling down the same old roads. On one hand, it would have been disingenuous of the writers to put Oliver and Felicity back together just one episode after the latterliterally walked outon the former in the previous hour. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be all that interesting to see Felicity leave Oliver in the lurch again, even if it confirmed their relationship status....

Many characters have had ghosts from their pasts hang on to them this season, and according to the promo video fromChicago FireSeason 13, Episode 8, “Quicksand,” Cruz is revisited by a ghost from his past....

Although not a big financial success,Edge of Tomorrowhas become a beloved film, with its popularity andcalls for a sequelonly seeming to increase even a decade after its 2014 release. Praise for theDoug Liman-directed film focuses on its creative use of the classic time loop premise, intense science fiction action, and compelling performances from starsTom CruiseandEmily Blunt. That said, the film’s ending is somewhat divisive, with some viewers arguing that it is confusing or unbelievable given the story’s previously established rules and that it is too optimistic....

If one were to make a list of the best Westerns of all time,The Good, the Bad, and the Uglywould be at the top. The Spaghetti Western, the third in directorSergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy, finds three men (the titular good, the bad, and the ugly) competing against one another to find a buried stash of Confederate gold.Clint Eastwood, aka “Blondie,” the good, is steely perfection.Lee Van Cleef, the bad, delivers a villain well-deserving of his black hat, whileEli Wallach, the ugly, steals the show with a performance that’s equal parts funny, devious, and, well, ugly (in fact, Eastwood almost passed on the film overconcerns that Wallach would upstage him)....
