Lost ‘Aliens’ Video Game Discovered Running around as Ellen Ripley, flamethrower/grenade launcher in hand, blowing away aliens. It seems like such a natural transition to a video game. And though the first two films in theAlienfranchise did have games come to home computer, Commodore 64, and even the stand-up arcade platform, the first time Nintendo or Sega users got to play in the universe wasAlien 3. That wasn’t the plan though....

Martin Lawrence Insists Bad Boys III Will Really Happen Bad Boyswas a breakout hit forWill Smith,Martin Lawrenceand directorMichael Bay, and the sequelBad Boys IIwas so deliberately outrageous that it was almost a total parody of the very idea of an action movie. After the excess of the second film, a third chapter seems not only superfluous, but highly unlikely. How do you follow that? But perhaps it isn’t so unlikely.We’ve known for a whilethat Columbia Pictures hadPeter Craigwriting a script....

Movie Review: Transporter 3 What is it about Jason Statham that continues to make men and women alike into Statham apologists, regardless of how crappy his films get? I first remember enjoying Statham in his wise-cracking role inLock Stock and Two Smoking Barrelsand have since seen him transformed into an unlikely action hero. Statham’s role choices haven’t been great (e.g.War, The One,Death Race, etc.) but he always manages to embody an everyman quality that is relatable for men and irresistable for women....

Not A Lesson: Why Dear Evan Hansen And Roadrunner Are Both Deeply Irresponsible Depictions Of Suicide Spoilersfor the films “Dear Evan Hansen” and “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.” This year two films have crossed into dangerous and irresponsible territory in using suicide and suicidal ideation as story arcs. First, Morgan Neville’s documentary “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain,” ostensibly a look at the life and work of celebrity chef and world traveler Anthony Bourdain, used his death by suicide to elicit heartbreaking interviews from grieving friends and family, while also wading into troublesome tropes about suicide....

Only Two Cast Members Knew About The Good Place Season 1’s Twist Ending “The Good Place"is one of the smartest, most original comedies ever to grace our TV screens. Created byMichael Schur, the series aired on NBC from 2016 to 2020. While only four seasons, the show ended on Schur’s terms,and he wrapped it upexactly the way he intended. The ending was universally beloved, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss this show....
