Fox has set the fall premiere dates for its new and returning series. All-new episodes of Gotham and Lucifer return Monday, Sept. 19. On Season Three of Gotham (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), the origin story continues and the stakes are higher than ever, as Super-Villains more ambitious and depraved are introduced, and a realignment of alliances shakes up the fight for power in Gotham City. Season Two of Lucifer (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) promises to be a mother of a season, as Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) is tasked with finding his family’s matriarch, while continuing to take down criminals alongside LAPD Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German)....

Fred Savage has signed on to direct and executive produce IFC’s upcoming scripted comedy Garfunkel & Oates. Starring comedy-folk duo Riki Lindhome (Fun Size; Hell Baby) and Kate Micucci (The Big Bang Theory), the series chronicles the pair’s humorous misadventures and how they rely on each other – and a few clever songs – to get them through their personal and professional stumbles. Production began this week in Los Angeles....

After years of nothing from the Friday the 13th franchise, the new prequel series Crystal Lake seems to be already gearing up for more than just one season even before it goes into production. While there have been conflicting reports and opinions on what the series will and won’t be allowed to use – which can usually only be deciphered by trawling through dozens of stories about the protracted legal battle around the characters of the franchise – according to comments made by producer Bryan Fuller, the show will almost be guaranteed at least two seasons....

FX and Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy have made a deal for a new drama called 4 oz. that will follow the metamorphosis of a married sportswriter who is a transsexual, according to Variety. Murphy will executive produce with Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner as Pitt makes his first series foray. Murphy, who has begun writing a pilot episode he hopes to shoot early next year, told Variety that he has mapped out a natural five-season arc for the series that also focuses on the gender-conflicted protagonist’s teenage sons....

Colin Farrell has been a standout favorite for many filmgoers who saw The Batman. Directed by Matt Reeves, the new film features an ensemble cast including Robert Pattinson as Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon. Though Farrell’s screentime as Oswald Cobblepot is limited, he was labeled by many fans on social media as the character who stole the show....

Earlier today, ABC debuted the parody video featuring Once Upon a Time creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz teasing how they were inspired to bring the hit Disney movie Frozen to Storybrooke in Season 4. While the network still hasn’t debuted the first clip featuring Anna (Elizabeth Lail) and Elsa (Georgina Haig), ABC has just released the first Season 4 trailer, which offers fans a brief glimpse at what’s in store for their favorite characters this season....

Fox and Conan O’Brien’s Conaco company are teaming up for a single-camera comedy remake of the TV series The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, which ran for three seasons between 1969 and 1972. White Collar’s Willie Garson will co-star and produce the remake. The story started out as a novel by author Mark Toby, which was adapted into the feature of the same name that starred Glenn Ford as Tom Corbett, a widowed father and Ron Howard as his young son Eddie, who becomes his father’s matchmaker....

After 15 years, Daniel Craig’s stint as James Bond came to an end with No Time To Die. In development since 2018, Craig’s final film the iconic British spy, No Time To Die, was delayed multiple times. First due to director Danny Boyle’s departure, and then due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was finally released worldwide in October 2021 to positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. While No Time To Die’s long runtime was a cause of criticism, most viewers were generally satisfied with the film’s ending....

It has been quite the journey for James Gunn and the cast of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. After two acclaimed films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Gunn and the gang will return for the third and final installment of the franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with no plans to ever make a Guardians 4. After Gunn shared a wrap photo to announce that filming was complete on the movie, Dave Bautista reshared the image on his Instagram account, emotionally affected by his swansong as Drax happening so quickly he hadn’t even processed it yet....

David Hasselhoff says to “stay tuned” when talking about a potential Knight Rider reboot series. The actor also revealed why talks to bring the iconic show back over a decade ago stalled and sputtered out. It seems that all of these years later, Hasselhoff has figured out why Knight Rider and Baywatch were so successful, and he’s ready to get back behind the wheel to introduce his character and KITT to a whole new generation....

The main character (and co-writer/director) of the horror movie Deadstream is an obnoxious idiot, and that’s the point. His online presence and livestream is a composite parody of all those grating, mysteriously popular YouTube and Twitch channels where millions of people subscribe to watch smugly loquacious ‘influencers’ open boxes or punch each other in the windpipe, Jackass-lite stunts which have a tendency to uncomfortably reflect the worst in people. The protagonist is Shawn Ruddy, whose online channel Wrath of Shawn found him doing such moronic ‘face your fears’ type things as being rolled illegally across the Mexican border or fighting a large homeless man....

The Good A well done show that looked at society in a highly funny way. The Bad A few commentary tracks on this release would have been nice. Dinosaurs: The Complete First and Second Seasons gives us 24 episodes of the Sinclair family. This is a pack of dinosaurs in the year sixty million and three B.C.. Basically, this show could be humans with the father Earl, wife Fran and their children Robbie, Charlene and their baby....

The Good A strong Blu-ray release for a title that has shown startling longevity. The Bad Packaging could have been a bit more peppy. Dirty Dancing is the simplistic and not so simplistic tale of “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey) and the man she falls in love with, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). “Baby” is a sheltered girl who is very much the apple of her parents eye. When they take their annual summer vacation in the Catskills, “Baby” finds herself attracted to Castle and these private dancing parties that the whole staff seems to be engaged in....

It’s officially the holiday season, which means that it’s time to watch Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer again, along with a few other classics. However, viewers this year noticed some disturbing facts about the 1964 Christmas stop motion animated television special that they hadn’t noticed before. The movie used to only air once per year, but like most other holiday classics, it runs several times now, which means that we can watch it multiple times with the rest of North America....

While Top Gun: Maverick may have been #1 over the Memorial Day weekend, another film has climbed the 2022 domestic box office charts to claim the top spot. Thanks to a $16 million weekend gross, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now the highest-grossing film both in the U.S. and worldwide. The latest MCU installment has pulled in more than $370 million domestically, just enough to push past the $369 million amassed by The Batman earlier this year....

The Good A comprehensive look at a movie that I don’t think was fully appreciated when it was first released. The Bad I wish the deleted scenes would have been disseminated better. Dune is one of those movies that I don’t think I fully appreciated when it first came out. It was a different time back in the mid-1980s. It’s hard for me to explain but there weren’t as many movies in the theaters....

Writing and directing the comedy that takes the cop drama to a whole new level Edgar Wright is becoming one of those British comedy writer/directors who’s being extremely sought after. His quirky zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead, became an instant classic. At only 33 years old, Edgar is on his way to having a very long and steady career. His new comedy, Hot Fuzz, reteams his Shaun buddies, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, with Simon co-writing....

Edie Falco has been cast in Bupkis, the upcoming Peacock series from Pete Davidson. She will play Davidson’s mother on the show, which is described as “a heightened, fictionalized version of Davidson’s real life.” Falco and Davidson announced the news today during NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers. The half-hour, live-action comedy was picked up by Peacock in April. Bupkis showrunner Davidson serves as co-writer and executive producer, alongside The King of State Island collaborators Dave Sirus and Judah Miller....

Legendary musician Elton John is teaming up with screenwriter Lee Hall (War Horse, Billy Elliot) for a new biopic entitled Rocketman. Rocketman is described as a “biographical musical fantasy,” which will incorporate elements of Elton John’s life with his hit songs. The movie will feature choreographed musical numbers set to Elton John’s songs, which will help drive a narrative story about the musician trying to navigate through the rough patches in his life....

The Planet of the Apes franchise has seen multiple films, and we’ll focus on all nine cinematic entries as we rank them from their worst to the best. Not every piece is a gem, but sometimes when the pressure is on, this franchise can present a diamond among the rough. We’re going to dive into the plot, the metaphors that the films have presented, and how important each film stands in the franchise’s legacy....
