The following post contains SPOILERS for literally every single Planet of the Apes movie ever made, so listen up you maniacs: If you don’t want to know how these movies end, stop reading now. Everything past this point is the Forbidden Zone for you. It’s one of the most important unwritten rules of Hollywood — not to mention one of the great songs by the O’Jays — you’ve got to give the people what they want. And what most people want is to leave the movie theater feeling good. Audiences have enough tragedy in their own lives. If they come to the multiplex and plunk down their hard-earned money...

Galactus is coming to devour the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ralph Ineson has been cast as the famous Marvel villain and will appear in the upcoming The Fantastic Four movie from director Matt Shakman. The English actor played Dagmer Cleftjaw in Game of Thrones (and Chris Finch from the old school British version of The Office) and is a very busy character actor in Hollywood. You might have recently seen him in The Creator and this spring’s The First Omen. He’ll soon appear in Robert Eggers’ remake of the horror classic Nosferatu. (He previously appeared in ...

Friday the 13thfans have been awaiting a TV show based on the property since Halloween of 2022, when Peacock revealed they had teamed with Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller on a show called Crystal Lakeafter the summer camp that served as the location for Jason Voorhees’ attacks in the original film series. Two years later, there’s an update on the show, and it’s not a great one: Fuller has left the series over apparent creative differences over the direction of the series. He posted on Twitter that “for reasons beyond our control A24 has elected to go a different way with [Crystal Lake]. We hope ...

The Bearis back with its third Season on FX and Hulu this summer. The acclaimed Emmy winning series starring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bacharach premieres its latest batch of episodes in June. It continues the story of the restaurant of the title, run by the brilliant chef Carmy Berzatto (White) who gradually transforms his family’s sandwich shop into a top-flight restaurant. At the end of last season Carmy finished transforming the old “Original Beef of Chicagoland” (based on a real restaurant in Chicago named Mr. Beef) into the fancy establishment of his dreams — but the ...

No one expects Shakespeare from a Transformers movie. We all innately understand that a sequel to an already mediocre film will probably be bad; it will certainly not be a candidate for cinematic immortality. (At least not the good kind.) As the lights go down and the credits start to roll, we set our expectations accordingly. As bad as a Transformers sequel might be (and very often is), those kinds of projects are never as disappointing as a bad sequel to a great movie. There really might not be a more infuriating experience in the world of cinema than a truly terrible sequel to a truly epic ...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a new film in the long-running franchise, and it’s set hundreds of years after the previous films. But the events of that last Apes trilogy — Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes — are hugely important to the backstory of Kingdom, which is about a new ape society that is threatened a new group of violent apes who study the history of their race. If you haven’t seen those earlier movies, you won’t fully understand the subtext and meaning of this new film. And if you haven’t seen those movies, but ...

For the first time in five years, there’s a Star Wars movie in theaters. It’s not a new one, though. This year, Disney and Lucasfilm used May the 4th to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the first Star Wars prequel. (Yes, The Phantom Menace is older today than the first Star Wars was when The Phantom Menace opened in theaters. 1999 itself is now a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.) To call The Phantom Menace’s legacy complicated is an understatement. It arrived in theaters with more hype and anticipation that maybe any other movie in history. I...

While the new sequel to Twister does not contain any of the characters from the original film (unless you count that big bucket of ping pong balls or whatever it was that they shoved into the twisters to get their data) it does include multiple twisters and a firenado. (No sharknados, though. Sadly.) In Twisters, a new generation of storm chasers (played by Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones) start following tornados around the south. Though this may technically be a sequel, it plays more like a remake of the original, with Powell and Edgar-Jones playing oil-and-water rivals who must work toget...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apeswas almost a great movie, and you can see the contours of its greatness through the cracks of the good movie that it is, a bit like spotting the buried ruins of the human world beneath the overgrown trees and vines of the film’s ape civilization. This latest Apes — a direct sequel to the previous Planet of the Apes trilogy that also functions as a kind of soft reboot of the concept — starts off slow and takes its time. Instead of the epic planetary battle promised by the title, its scale is intimate; one ape’s personal journey to find his family, and the relati...
