The undeniably gripping psychological thrillerLutheris back on BBC America for a one-night special event, withIdris Elbareturning to his iconic role as self-destructive, near-genius Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He’s a man on the edge of law enforcement who may never be able to walk away from capturing the tormented psychopaths that lurk the streets of London, so when the terrifyingly complex case of a cannibalistic serial killer comes his way, it not only pulls him out of seclusion but pushes him to a deeper and darker place than he’s ever been....

Previously, we brought youexclusive details about a planned sequelto Disney’s underrated animated adventureAtlantis: The Lost Empirefrom directorKirk Wise. And, yes, we should pause to note that there was a direct-to-video follow-up toAtlantisentitledAtlantis: Milo’s Return, but that it wasn’t designed as a sequel but was rather the first three episodes of a canceled television project that were awkwardly stitched together and were created without the involvement of the movie’s team. Wise revealed that the sequel, which was very much in development, would have climaxed with the reveal that the evil, masked villain was none other than Helga Sinclair (voiced byClaudia Christian), one of the original team members from the first film....

Disney’sFrozen 2is currently the biggest animated film of all time. And it’s easy to suspect that something so widely and instantaneously accepted, the world over, appeared one day, fully formed and ready for box office and pop-cultural dominance. But that’s not how it works. Making any Disney animated feature is a years-long process full of ups and down, snowy peaks and icy valleys, and all of that drama is captured exquisitely in the new Disney+ documentary seriesInto the Unknown: Making Frozen 2....

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menacewill be remembered for a number of infamous things:midi-chlorians,racism, anduninspired acting, among them. But there’s one face (and voice) that comes to mind when conjuring up the worst of the worst that the first (cinematically speaking)Star Warsfilm has to offer: Jar Jar Binks. This goofy Gungan klutz stumbled his way into the Skywalker Saga, becoming a military officer and ill-advised politician along the way....

The Expendables 4may have bombed at the box office, but it’s thriving where it counts in 2025 — streaming. Despite a dismal 14% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics and a $150 million shortfall from its break-even point,Expend4bleshas become a surprise global hit on Starz, currently sitting at #7 on the streamer’s movie charts. It’s a curious twist of fate for a film thatJason Stathamhimself admits didn’t “feel right” to shoot — mainly due to the limited involvement offranchise patriarchSylvester Stallone,as Statham told Cinema Express....

The funny thing about “Chapter 5” of HBO’sPerry Masonis that your reaction to the episode’s final beats will depend wildly on your familiarity with the originalRaymond Burrseries or other notable adaptations. If you’ve never indulged and are just in the habit of watching whatever happens to be airing each week at 9 PM ET on HBO, your reaction to the ending will be “Wait, now he’s a lawyer?” Meanwhile, pre-established fans of the property are yelling “About time!...

In the aftermath of the allegations made againstHarvey Weinsteinover the last few weeks, many questions are coming to light. Most of them have to do with how Hollywood deals with allegations of sexual harassment and rape and if nothing else, this does seem to be a moment where more women and (to a far lesser extent) men feel secure in making their experiences with such traumatic personal events public. That is and should remain the main topic of conversation as these allegations continue to come out but there’s also the matter of how this will change the relationship between The Weinstein Company and the talents that it has fostered....

It’s been seven years sinceSteven Spielbergmade a so-called “blockbuster” with 2011’sThe Adventures of Tintin, but the legendary filmmaker made a triumphant return to genre territory withReady Player One. The sci-fi adaptation ofErnest Cline’s 80s-infused book offered Spielberg the opportunity to blend cutting-edge technology with a “boy with a dream” story, and the result is a visual marvel. The film is now available on 4K Blu-ray, so we took a look to see if this is one that’s worth owning....

30 years ago, Disney releasedThe Rescuers Down Under. A sequel to 1977’sThe Rescuers, it was an adventure film, free of the typical Disney musical structure, set in the rugged outback and was meant to continue the momentum established by 1989’sThe Little Mermaid. Accompanied by a typically robust marketing campaign and a healthy line of consumer products and promotional tie-ins, Disney expected the film to be a big holiday hit. But when the film was released into theaters it left almost as quickly, opening to a surprisingly challenging marketplace and an indifferent audience....

I’ll be the first to admit that Hollywood has afranchise problem. It’s no secret that we are seeing fewer and fewer original releases, replaced by an endless string of sequels, spin-offs, and reboots. What’s more is that many of the most beloved and revered franchises, such as the MCU and Star Wars, havebecome tired, leaving fans jaded. Then, there’sthe Conjuring Universe. Very loosely based on the supposed real-life cases of paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), the franchise got off to a humble start with 2013’s surprise hit,The Conjuring....
