Everyone makes mistakes. It is a human characteristic that can sometimes be unavoidable. Indeed, mistakes can happen even where we do not expect them to, namely, in a pre-edited television special. That is what happened in the highly-anticipated HBO MaxHarry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwartswherein the cast of the beloved fantasy franchise was brought together for a reunion at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Only, the cast briefly included an unexpected addition:Scream QueensactressEmma Roberts....

The 1989 movieField of Dreamsis obsessed with the last word in its title. What is a dream? DirectorPhil Alden Robinsonapproaches the question staunchly refusing cynicism, a type of sentimentality that the movie’s detractors often deem wishy-washy. But the film has become such a staple of Americana that it must strike something deep in the hearts of viewers that other movies of the same ilk can’t quite reach. Its love affair with baseball is enough to win some over, but its subtly complex depiction of the stuff dreams are made of is much more enchanting....

Today marks the 25th anniversary ofGood Will Hunting’s theatrical release. Perhaps best remembered as the film that launched the careers of co-stars and co-writersMatt DamonandBen Affleck, who won an Academy Award for their original screenplay, as well asRobin Williams' Oscar-winning performance, the 1997Gus Van Sant-directeddrama won the hearts of critics and audiences alike. Chronicling a period of self-discovery in the tumultuous life of its title character, who we learn is a genius with a traumatic past involving physical and emotional abuse, the film is a powerhouse of intelligent, thoughtful storytelling brought to life by an ensemble of unique and nuanced performances....

The film picks up after the events ofSpider-Man: No Way Home, where Holland’s Peter Parker asked Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to wipe the world’s memories of his secret identity. While Peter was able to stop an invasion of villains thanks to Strange’s spell, the cost was bittersweet: he lost his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), while his best friend Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) and girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) don’t know who he is anymore....

WithTransformers: The Last Knightnow playing around the world, the other day I landed an exclusive interview withJosh Duhamel. He talks about the biggest challenge makingThe Last Knight, how you may’t take it personally whenMichael Baygets mad at you, the way the script can change in an instant while filming, and a lot more. As most of you know from the trailers, the fifth installment expands the mythology of theTransformersuniverse by introducing a medieval-centric backstory withMark Wahlbergreprising his lead role fromTransformers: Age of Extinction....

TheCollider Ladies Nightsub-series,Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party, was made for creators likeNikyatu Jusu. It’s designed to put the spotlight on promising filmmakers in the early stages of their careers who deliver so big with a new project that their star is bound to soar. Mark my words; that will happen for Jusu and this industry is better off for it. After winning the HBO Short Film Competition at the American Black Film Festival withFlower, earning a Short Film Grand Jury Prize nomination at the Sundance Film Festival forSuicide by Sunlight(which I highly recommend watchingright here), and finding other success in the short film format, Jusu finally got the go-ahead for her feature directorial debut,Nanny....

CBS has always been one of the most successful networks in terms of ratings because theyknowtheir audience. They content tends to be broad, and not often embraced by young, woke viewers, but CBS doesn’t care – they make money and get views! So while The Eye is keeping 24 of its series from 2017, it is also toying with three new comedies and five new dramas, which include (naturally) a host of police procedural (FBI,The Red Line), revivals likeMurphy Brown, and reboots likeMagnum P....

Disney has released a new trailer forJon Favreau’s “live-action” adaptation ofThe Lion King. It’s tough to go so far as to call this truly live-action since the whole movie is animated, but it’s animated to appear lifelike. But judging by the trailer, it’s still largely the story we know and love—young Simba (Donald Glover), fooled by his uncle Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor) into thinking he’s responsible for the death of his father Mufasa (James Earl Jones), runs away only to return ready to assume the throne and restore the circle of life....

It’s hard to make a Christmas classic. Many have tried, few – especially modern filmmakers – have succeeded, and even films that generally have their hearts in the right place sometimes miss the mark. That last descriptor fits like a snug little Santa cap onNoelle, the new holiday comedy from writer/directorMarc Lawrence(Miss Congeniality) and one of the first original features to launch on the nascent streaming serviceDisney+. With a knockout cast and a cute (if flimsy) feel-good message,Noelleis a sweet and well-intended Christmas comedy that has all the key components to make your spirits bright, but the whole never glows up to become greater than the sum of its very jolly parts....
