It will be releasing theatrically in Australia, New Zealand and then the U.S. as it sees a tiered roll out in June. 14 years after the or

Video games are notoriously hard to adapt to the screen. The type of story works in short bursts or as cut-scenes, or depending on how old the game is in a paragraph in an instruction manual, is hard to expand on. Conversely, story-heavy games often have 30-40 hours to use to flesh out characters and narrative and this has to be condensed onto a feature length film. Either way, filmmakers have their work cut out for them.Mortal Kombat is a franchise that started out as a campy and ultra-violent Western alternative to Japan's Street Fighter series, that over the course of eleven mainline games (and various spin-offs) has started to take itself comparatively more serious. For whatever reason, this newest adaptation for the most part ignores this evolution and plants the majority of th

And apparently, they'll all be free to watch again. Universal just announced that the whole series would be re-released back to theaters as they gear up to release F9 after numerous delays caused by the global pandemic. Each movie seems to gain more popularity and bigger box office receipts. In preparation for the next unbelievable action flick, Universal is giving fans a special present. You can sit through them all again and experience for yourself how far they've come from being about fast cars. Somewhere along the line, they spun out into total escapist action flicks that have no qualms with settin

Courtesy of Neon FilmsIt's been a while since we've talked about Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite. The film that swept all of the top ten lists including ours. Parasite was unstoppable last awards season, garnering four Academy Awards including Best Picture and the Palme d'Or, becoming the first South Korean film to win both of those honors. While all this was going on, HBO and producer Adam McKay announced that a Parasite series was coming to the network. And then after that, we didn't hear much else about it. Until today that is.In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz for his podcast Happy Sad Confused, Adam McKay discussed a number of topics including the Parasite series. He confirmed that series would not be a remake of the film but its own original story instead. He described it as taki

Yet there is none that has proven to be as alluring and mysterious as the legend of Bigfoot, the ape-like wild-man of the western frontier. While most regard Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, as little more than an elaborate hoax or crazy conspiracy theory, it is certain that Bigfoot has captured the attention of the American people. Sasquatch, a three part docu-series on Hulu, centers on David Holthouse, an investigative journalist who had a frightening experience with Bigfoot in Northern California nearly three decades ago. Now, Holthouse is using his journalistic talents to track down the trut

While interest has seemed to dwindle over the strange tale of Joe Exotic and the Tiger King scandals and streaming series, it appears to be heating up again. With Nicolas Cage set to appear in one project for CBS Television, NBC Universal has their very own Tiger King saga in the works. You might remember that Kate McKinnon is on board as the lead star, Carol Baskin. But who will be her Joe Exotic? None other than John Cameron Mitchell!Mitchell is best known for co-creating the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. His work on the Broadway version earned him the Tony Award for best revival of a musical and a special Tony for performance. He also directed and starred in the film version of Hedwig and won Best Director at Sundance for it. Mitchell’s other film directing credits

With the Snyder cut proving to be a massive hit for HBO Max and Warner Bros. still saying they have no interest in continuing the franchise forward with the director, there is still discussion around the movie that saw two of DC's biggest heroes go head to head. And the guys behind the film are still readily talking about the movie as well. It's now been revealed that Zack Snyder and Chris Terrio took much of its inspiration from the Michael Mann heist classic, Heat. Terrio also recently said that the executives at WB had it out for the film from the start and sabotaged its release by cutting thirty important minutes from the movie. Later on, much of that foot

As DC fans continue to petition Warner Bros. to #RestoreTheSnyderverse, actor Joe Manganiello has his very own ideas about the character he plays, Deathstroke. Initially he was meant to play the villain in Ben Affleck's The Batman. But as things changed, the Deathstroke villain arc was removed and Manganiello only got a few minutes of screen time. Now, the actor says he thinks that WB and HBO Max should team up for an origin show that would tell the backstory for Slade Wilson. At one point there was a Deathstroke movie planned with The Raid director Gareth Evans at the helm. As the DC film universe struggled to find a footing, the project was ultimately cancelled. It now appears that Deathstroke has no clear path to a feature film or any further examination of the character. Ho

The complexities of marriage are often explored in cinema. Beyond the traditional struggles that relationships endear, a subgenre involves the loss of identity and freedom that is often experienced in certain relationships. As we age, notions of the past become ghosts, haunting the subconscious with what could have been. It is only fitting that Travis Steven's neo-vampire story stars a pair of horror icons whose filmographies are part of the foundation of modern independent American horror films. Featuring a darkly humorous script, an unforgettable duo of lead performances, and a wealth of entrancing visuals, Jakob's Wife is the first legitimate horror experience of the year. Anne, the subdued wife of a milquetoast preacher, is bitten by a vam

Trash cinema is a blessed genre unto itself. Tom Ritter's absolutely insane opus, Sharks of the Corn is a pinnacle of low budget horror. It's impossible not to be reminded of Wes Craven's horror epic Shocker when viewing, the film is over two hours and weaves not so complex threads together to create a wonderfully putrid amalgam of sex, spies, cultists, corn, and sharks. Featuring a plethora of hilarious kill scenes, basement level special effects, and an undeniable love for all things horror, this is a charming homage to the many reasons we love movies. Sharks are manifesting in the corn fields of Druid Hills, killing man, woman, and child. A police chief, a shady criminal, a journalist, and a serial killer converge on the fields in a race against

William Friedkin’s most overlooked and hard-to-obtain serial killer thriller film Rampage, based on the book of the same name by William P. Wood, is a film with highly checkered past that remains virtually unseen and is rarely spoken of these days. Despite some of the director’s even harder to see films such as Sorcerer and Cruising getting lavish home video special editions years later, Rampage remains curiously under the Friedkin fan’s radar. A shame because what’s here is among the director’s most underrated chillers ripe for rediscovery and recognition with some of the most uncompromisingly frightening material of Friedkin’s career. Charlie Reece (Alex McArthur) is a remorseless vampiric serial murderer who shoots and mutilates his victims before drinking their

It has been a long development for the fifth Indiana Jones movie. So long that this writer was in middle school when development started on it and has now graduated from college and is still waiting for it. Ever since the 2008 release of Crystal Skull, LucasFilm has been trying to make a fifth installment. After a long time in development, there is now forward momentum regarding the future of the Indiana Jones series. You may remember that for the first time in the series history, Spielberg will not direct the film. He will remain on board as a producer that is actively involved with the next installment of the series. Sources that the decision for Spielberg to step out of the chair was his own as he wanted to pass on the bullwhip to the next generation of filmmakers and his schedule

But here he is training for the role in the latest Marvel show that will hit the streaming service. Isaac will be playing Marc Spector with Ethan Hawke also taking up a lead role in the series. It will be interesting to see what they do with this character as the production company digs deeper into the large library of characters that Marvel has. This is the first live action iteration of Moon Knight and will hopefully expand into the film universe as well. As of right now, there are only six episodes planned for the limited run event series. This will also be the first time that Isaac has taken up a lead role for a television project. Check out the la
