In the opening minutes of Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two,” Harkonnen hunters are searching for native Fremen warriors on the surface of Arrakis during an eclipse. The hunters quickly realize the Fremen have called a sandworm to devour them, so they engage their anti-gravity jet packs and soar off the dunes up onto a huge rock formation […]

Although “Doctor Who” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” don’t have a ton in common — in fact, they’re pretty much polar opposites — the latter show’s season 4 episode, “The Nightman Cometh,” plays out in a structurally similar way to “The Devil’s Chord.” Here, the songs are similarly disconnected from the rest of the cast, […]

What started out as a jokey idea eventually turned to Seinfeld actually picking up the phone and calling Hamm and Slattery to ask them if they’d be interested in participating. Ironically, Seinfeld’s pitch was pretty convincing. Feresten says once the two men agreed, the “Unfrosted” team prepared the movie’s scene specially for the actors — even […]

Hey David. How are you doing? Good. Ryan, how are you? Oh my God, I’m so good, man. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today. Of course, of course. Exciting. I was at the South By screening, and man, I’ve been to a lot over the years. People were into […]

Marvel couldn’t have made a better choice if it had the Time Stone itself. Back when a “Doctor Strange” movie was far from a guaranteed hit, Scott Derrickson and Kevin Feige knew they simply couldn’t afford to get the casting wrong. Despite their dalliance with Joaquin Phoenix, it ultimately became clear that Benedict Cumberbatch was the […]

The scene illuminates so much about these three characters and their individual relationships to one other, making clear that this triangle functions best when each component is drawn to the other two, sometimes in ways that are so primal they don’t even know how to verbalize them. Kuritzkes continued: “The question then became how to […]

Watters, Roberts, and Stewart set that atmosphere from the first page of “The Creature From The Black Lagoon Lives!” Kate awakens from a dream of herself drowning. Some might say drowning is the most peaceful way to die, the narration suggests, a slow evaporation of life — as Kate sinks further, she realizes how wrong […]

Over the years, I’ve spoken to countless folks in the horror-sphere and many of us have stories watching “The Omen” probably too young, but I think we all turned out fine. What are both of your relationships with the original “Omen?” Stevens: When I was a kid, A&E had this double feature on Valentine’s Day, […]

“Civil War” feels like to me a historical film from an alternate universe, where it expects you already understand the basics of the war, kind of like how “Saving Private Ryan” and “Dunkirk” don’t need to tell you how World War II started. Do you view it this way? I think you could extrapolate how […]

From all accounts, Alfred Molina was an absolute pro, despite never having been in a movie as technically complicated as this one. John Dykstra, production visual effects supervisor: I think that Sam did a terrific job. His Spider-Man movies, for me, seemed to be a great capturing of the essence of the character. Not that the […]
