With its fleets of souped-up muscle cars racing and drifting and spinning and (in the later films) flying and going into outer space, Fast & Furiousseems tailor-made for an elaborately themed roller coaster. Somehow, it’s taken almost 25 years since the franchise first debuted for it to happen, but Universal Studios is finally making the first Fast & Furiouscoaster. Dubbed Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, it will open at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2026. The press release claims “the state-of-the-art ride system is being uniquely designed to immerse guests within the high-speed Fast & Furio...

Kevin Feige once gave Hugh Jackman some advice: Never undo the ending of Logan. (Whoops.) In an feature on Jackman’s possibly ill-advised return to Marvel movies in this summer’s Deadpool & WolverineinEmpire Magazine, Feige himself recalls this message he imparted to Jackman after Jackman released what was supposed to be his farewell to the character, in 2017’s Logan. “I said, ‘Let me give you a piece of advice, Hugh. Don’t come back’,” Feige said. He added… You had the greatest ending in history with Logan. That’s not something we should undo. READ MORE: Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie,...

The following post contains spoilers for Unfrosted. You might think what follows is made up. It does not sound real. I assure you, it is. Unfrosted is Jerry Seinfeld’s new Netflix comedy about the origins of the beloved breakfast food, the Pop-Tart. While the film does mention real companies and alludes to actual historical events — there really was a rivalry between Kellogg’s and Post as they both raced each other to market with competing toaster pastries in the early 1960s — much of the film is a work of fiction. That will be quite clear as you are watching it almost from the jump, unless th...

Mrs. Doubtfirecame out 31 years old; long enough ago to be considered a full-fledged family comedy classic. And also long enough for the actors who played the central kids in the film to be all grown up and really make us take stock of our own mortality seeing them reunited in 2024. Those actors are, of course Mara Wilson, Matthew Lawrence, and Lisa Jakub, who played the Hillard kids in the film. After their parents Daniel (Robin Williams) and Miranda (Sally Field) separate, the kids get a new nanny: Mrs. Doubtfire — who is secretly Daniel in elaborate prosthetic makeup. At the time Mrs. Doubt...

What is the “perfect” length of a movie? According to a new poll of 2,000 Americans conducted by Talker Research, “the ideal average length” of a movie is just 92 minutes — just an hour and a half. It is not clear to me whether that number includes closing credits or not. Their report finds that “the average person wants to spend far less time at the movie theater going forward.” Only two percent of the people they spoke to — according to my rudimentary math, that means roughly 40 folks — want movies to be longer than two and a half hours. (Whoever you are out there, you 40 individuals, I love...

The new Mad Max prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga originated in materials that George Miller and his collaborators created in pre-production on Mad Max: Fury Road. To fully understand who their characters were, they wrote biographies of their lives prior to the events of the movie, including one for the ferocious Furiosa, played in Fury Road by Charlize Theron. After the success of Fury Road, Miller decided to turn that backstory into its own movie, which is how we got a Furiosa prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy. But that wasn’t the only backstory Miller wrote; he also filled in what happened to ...

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier would have been a great title for the final Star Trekmovie. As it turned out, the film was so disliked it almost was the final Star Trek movie, and perhaps would have been the franchise’s farewell if not for two key factors. For one, while The Final Frontier was the lowest-grossing Star Trek film to that point, it was still profitable, grossing roughly $70 million worldwide against a budget of some $30 million. For another, 1991 marked the 25th anniversary of the first Star Trek television series, and Paramount wanted a new film in theaters to commemorate the oc...

Congratulations: You survived another winter to see the sun shine again. It is now May. You made it. And that means it is now summer movie season once again — not just in theaters but on Netflix, who also observe the time-honored film industry tradition that when the weather gets warmer, the movies get inexplicably larger. No one knows why this happens. It just does. For the summer of 2024, for example, Netflix will have a new comedy from Jerry Seinfeld about the history of Pop-Tarts, a new comedy from Richard Linklater and Glen Powell about a would-be hit man, and the long-awaited fourth Beve...
