When I was about seven or so, I attended a baton competition in Orlando, Florida that granted all of the attendees a day pass to Universal Studios. The park had recently opened the "Terminator 2: 3D: Battle Across Time" attraction, which meant the park was covered in advertisements with spine-chilling imagery of the T-1000 staring into my soul, and a handful of prominently displayed, life-size Terminators that I assume were added solely to scar me for life. We had to pass by the attraction to get to another side of the park, and I just stood frozen in my tracks. I had seen both "The Terminator" and "T2: Judgment Day" at this point (thanks, mom and dad!), but seeing a Terminator right before my eyes immediately destroyed the safe distance provided by the movies. The damn thing looked way too real for comfort, and I totally freaked out. Now, well into my 30s, I've forged a career in film analysis focusing heavily on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, and al

The following post contains spoilers about "Party Down" season 3. The third season of the beloved cult favorite comedy series "Party Down" is finally upon us, and longtime fans are rejoicing. The new six-episode run sees most of the original cast returning, including Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen, Martin Starr, Megan Mullally, and Jane Lynch. Set roughly ten years after the events of season 2, the thankless life of caterers in Los Angeles hasn't gotten any easier, although some of the wannabe actors and comedians have managed to escape the daily drudgery to have successful careers in the cutthroat entertainment business.  Former child actor Henry Pollard (Scott) has lost his girlfriend Casey Klein (Lizzy Caplan) to fame and fortune, and bo-hunk Kyle Bradway (Hansen) is on the verge of blockbuster stardom with a big role in a ridiculous science fiction franchise.

All the characters in the HBO comedy series  "The Righteous Gemstones" are subject to each other's insults, but no one gets quite as much flack as Benjamin Jason "BJ" Barnes (Tim Baltz). As Judy's subservient husband, he is at the bottom of the Gemstone ladder. But in one key moment in season 2, BJ gets his shine with a major fashion statement — a pink satin men's romper. BJ gets baptized into the Gemstone family in episode 4 of season 2. While he is normally limited to the role of Judy's sidekick, he finally has his own moment in the sun. Rather than shy away from the attention, he leans into it with a flashy costume. But Baltz wasn't feeling as confident as BJ about the bold new outfit.

In Robert Zemeckis' 1994 film " Forrest Gump ," Tom Hanks plays Forrest, a good-hearted but low-intelligence rube who, thanks to impeccably constructed American institutions, stumbles repeatedly into athletic, financial, and military success. Forrest is friendly, strong, and hapless, happy to tell his life story to anyone who sits on the bus bench next to him. Hanks won an Academy Award for playing Forrest, and the film itself won four additional Oscars, including Best Picture. Years later, many had started to reappraise "Forrest Gump" for its treacly tone, its sentimentality, and its unabashed conservative bent . This author was in high school when "Forrest Gump" was released and recalls a teacher sagely pointing out that the title character's "innocence" was only perceived by audiences due to his wealth. Had Forrest's decisions led to financial ruin, his "innocence" would not be positively touted.  But in 1994, "For

When I was a senior in high school, I saw "District 9" for the first time in my English class. It definitely wasn't something I foresaw us doing at the beginning of the school year, but I remember my teacher being so happy about its inclusion in the Best Picture race that she felt it was her duty to show the insightful film to the class. "District 9" is an incredible film for a multitude of reasons, but one that stands out — alongside its story of acceptance — is the movie's motion capture work. Motion capture artists carry a different skill set than typical actors, and their work is often what makes films really shine. /Film's Andrew Housman recently spoke with actor Donovan Stinson , who did the motion capture work for one of the alien characters in "District 9,"  and it turns out that the actor didn't even know what he was filming while shooting it. Stinson told Housman: "We didn't even know what we were working on when we s

Arnold Schwarzenegger's conquering of America truly is an unbelievable story. As comedian Bill Burr surmised in his 2012 standup special "​​You People Are All the Same," Arnie should be "unloading trucks in Transylvania [...] but because he's a great man, he had the balls to move to America and became famous for lifting weights." Schwarzenegger did indeed go from driving tanks in the Austrian army to becoming arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time, winning the Mr. Olympia title seven times. But he also became one of the biggest actors in Hollywood, and arguably the most popular action star in history, all while simultaneously carrying family-friendly comedy fare such as "Kindergarten Cop" and "Jingle All The Way" — one of the best Christmas movies of all time .

When James Cameron was first introduced to Yukito Kishiro's manga "Battle Angel Alita" in 1999, he fell so in love with the story that he began developing a movie adaptation barely a year later. Just read the manga and you'll see why Cameron was drawn to it. The story takes place in an apocalyptic future where humans incorporate technology into their bodies and become cyborgs — that's the story of "Terminator" too. The chance to realize such an out-there world in live-action must have also been a tempting challenge for a special effects wizard like Cameron. (It was so daunting in fact that Cameron decided to tackle "Avatar" first, as they believed that would help inform their approach to "Alita: Battle Angel.") Cameron was also likely drawn to "Alita" for its emotional core. The titular female cyborg falls for a young thief named Hugo, who desires to go to the hovering city of Zalem. When he tries climbing to it, he'

Twenty years after the fan-favorite Disney Renaissance film debuted in 1997, legendary composer Alan Menken revealed that he was working on a stage adaptation of "Hercules," the tale of a young man on his road to becoming a hero and finding out where he belongs in the world. Reunited with lyricist David Zippel, the Disney Legend created a number of all-new songs to compliment a book by Kristoffer Diaz and Robert Horn for the latest musical from the House of Mouse. A few years later in 2019, the production made its world premiere at the Delacorte Theater in New York City's Central Park with a stellar cast that featured Jelani Alladin, who originated the role of Kristoff on stage in "Frozen," as Hercules, Tony Award winner James Monroe Iglehart of "Aladdin" on Broadway as Phil, star of NBC's "Smash" Krysta Rodriguez as Meg, and, instead of revisiting the character that he provided the singing voice for in the original animated movie, Ro

This post contains spoilers for "Star Trek: Picard" season 3, episode 2 "Disengage." If you've seen the latest episode of "Star Trek: Picard," you know that we got a big reveal about Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), the brash yet morally grounded son of Dr. Beverly Crusher who is forced to work with Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) to save his mom's life and flee from the pointy-shaped ship that is hunting them down. Jack doesn't get on too well with Picard and Riker — the three have all just met, after all. But at the end of the episode, we find out Jack has a lot in common with a certain retired Starfleet Admiral. It turns out that Jack is Picard's son . On the show, the news is certainly surprising to Jean-Luc, and it was something that Speleers didn't know about when he first auditioned for the part. Once he knew the parentage of his character, however, Speleers could easily see the similaritie

Upon last week's debut of the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," it was clear that the series was gearing up to be more tonally attuned to the "Star Trek" feature films than to the previous seasons of the series. Already, the story is cleaner, the conflict is easier to understand, and the characters are all familiar. Indeed, it seems that Raffi (Michelle Hurd) is the only original "Picard" character that has survived into the third season. Capt. Rios, Dr. Jurati, and Elnor are gone, and it seems that Picard's potential love interest in his housekeeper Laris (Orla Brady) will be brushed off. Instead, "Picard" — as mentioned in previous reviews  — has retreated into familiar.  Episode 2, "Disengage," shows just how familiar this season aims to be by revealing itself to be yet another riff on "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," a ploy Trek has attempted with several features in the past. Many, perhaps too many, of the

The A24-produced Sundance hit "Past Lives" is a must-see film of 2023 that took the beloved American festival quietly by storm — and luckily for us, the movie finally has a trailer and release date. In the sneak peek, we meet Na Young (who later goes by Nora, played by Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), two childhood friends who reconnect later in life after forming a bond as children. They find each other again and start to explore their connection, but when Nora's career ambitions take precedence, they lose that connection again for several more years. But the film seems to assert that these two people will always be in each other's lives, and are destined to meet again. Yesterday, A24 shared the first poster for the film via their social media channels. The poster simply shows an image of Lee smiling at someone she's looking at on her left-hand side.
