“Today, it’s difficult to imagine Shrek as anything but an instant hit. After all, the subject of the 1990 children’s book was always destined for Hollywood stardom, says producer John H. Williams. ‘I thought Shrek was outrageous, irreverent, iconoclastic, gross, and just a lot of fun,” Williams says in the production notes for the 2001 movie. “He was a great movie character in search of a movie.’” Read more at Inverse Megan Fox is mounting an acting resurgence, and what better way to kick it off than perhaps a career-best performance in Till Death?...

“Just months after Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it would adapt the beloved Wonder Twins comic into a live-action DC Comics film, the studio has put a halt on productions, reportedly canceling the project. That Hashtag Show recently reported that the crew was informed last week that the live-action project will be scrapped, even before production has begun.” Read more at HypeBeast It’s gonna be May, which means the summer movie season is finally upon us!...

“Valkyrie is charging back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she’s returning with a new look. Not only is she sporting a new outfit, but the color scheme is a nod to how Valkyrie originally appeared in the Marvel Universe.” Read more at Inverse Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin has high praise for the upcoming prequel series that is set to debut later in 2022. Read more at The Mary Sue As the DC film Blue Beetle gets set to begin production, the star of the flick has already tried on the suit and has high praise....

Loki Episode 2 “Up where the mountains meet the heavens above. Out where the lightning splits the sea. I could swear that there’s someone somewhere watching me.” When Marvel’s Kevin Feige discussed Loki’s evolution recently, he noted that “putting Loki into his own procedural series became the Eureka moment for the show.” This became a talking point between fans because Loki was simultaneously hyped as another “six-hour movie” and the two concepts seemed to clash a little....

If there’s one thing that can be said about the excellent storytelling in Lost in Space, it’s that it’s remarkably consistent in presenting a danger for the Robinsons to confront through ingenuity and cooperation, in highlighting the importance of family beyond their nuclear unit, and in fighting against those who would threaten the group from within. There may be some viewers who were hoping for more of a rollicking jaunt from planet to planet as in the original TV show now that the Robinson’s Jupiter 2 is equipped with a wormhole device, but the search for home is still about getting the entire Resolute and all of the 24th Colonist Group to Alpha Centauri....

If there’s one thing that the often-visited genre of post-apocalyptic sci-fi cinema needs, it’s a wholesome romance between two young star-crossed lovers. Someone at Paramount realized this, and, this past October, quickly went into development on the project in question, tapping headliners in Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner) and Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist). Michael Matthews directed the picture, having come off his feature debut, the 2017 South African western-style thriller, Five Fingers for Merseilles....

Lucifer Season 3 Episode 16 “It appears I may have misplaced your brother’s soul.” Closed time loops have become a science fiction staple, and tonight’s episode of Lucifer takes that narrative device and runs with it as Lucifer and Pierce try once again to break the lieutenant’s curse. It turns out, however, that Cain and Abel aren’t the only one’s stuck endlessly reliving the same events. “Infernal Guinea Pig” revisits the residual pain Charlotte Richards continues to deal with even though she remains unaware of the truth behind her time in Hell....

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom tells the story of a group of 1920s musicians, composites of session players at the time, waiting for “the Mother of the Blues” to bring her big voice to the big room at Hot Rhythm Recordings. “Ma” Rainey, positively channeled by Viola Davis in the film, owned the copyrights of her songs, some of which became blues standards. Her trumpet player, Levee, masterfully captured by Chadwick Boseman in his cinematic swan song, doesn’t catch that break....

Perhaps that’s the dark magic of the movies though. Seyfried can recount early memories of Davies’ contemporaries like Charlie Chaplin, who loomed large in her childhood. But the shadows cast by these legends have a way of obscuring everything else. “I grew up with a father who was obsessed with projectors and old movies,” Seyfried says over a Zoom call. “We have nitrate film still in our basement, and I can’t believe our house hasn’t blown up yet....

Namor the Sub-Mariner sits at the foot of Castle Doom, an exorbitant spread set before him. Despite the luxury he experiences as a guest of Latverian ruler Victor Von Doom, Namor lacks his usual arrogance. After all, Namor comes to Dr. Doom with the knowledge that he failed, that his previous alliances with both the Illuminati and their villainous counterpart the Cabal have reached their end. This humbling experience notwithstanding, Namor makes his pitch, certain that Doom could not resist the opportunity to save the world and succeed where his rival Reed Richards could not....

While Marvel Future Revolution features some of the more unfortunate qualities we associate with the mobile gaming scene (quite a few cosmetic microtransactions, simplified controls, and occasionally limited gameplay) it’s actually a fairly robust RPG in its own right that might even be better than Square Enix’s Avengers game. Actually, you could argue that it comes closer to being the RPG that some fans wanted that game to be. Of course, as is typically the case with any RPG featuring multiple playable characters, some of Marvel Future Revolution‘s heroes are simply stronger than others....

Even as the main villain of the new Avengers video game, MODOK is always going to be a hard sell. While he’s a fearsome foe, incredibly intelligent, and powerful, he’s also a funky-looking giant head with normal-sized limbs dangling around with little use. He’s the epitome of bizarre comic book designs and if you’re going to give him a spotlight, you’re going to need to think hard about how you’re going to portray him....

“I believe I threw the script across the room,” she tells Den of Geek and other outlets. “I was like, ‘What the…? Oh, you’re so smart. I hate you.’” It’s easy to tell that Siegel is being facetious. After all, Flanagan has entrusted some of his most memorable characters to Siegel, and in return, she’s imbued a sense of strength, intelligence, and world-weariness in them. Midnight Mass is the seventh overall collaboration between the husband and wife duo and the third Netflix horror series in a row....

It’s a great smaller moment in a movie remembered largely for its epic bombast (as you’ll see below), and another example of writer-director Christopher McQuarrie digging down into the franchise’s fundamentals at a granular level. Ethan and his team of fellow highly skilled IMF operatives always accept the mission. Heck, oftentimes they take it a step further and go rogue, completing the mission long after their superiors have thrown in the towel....

One of the best moments in Marvel’s recently ended Moon Knight series is when Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) agrees to become the temporary human avatar for the Egyptian goddess Taweret. This happens during a critical juncture in the season finale, when Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac) and the god Khonshu need all the help they can get to defeat the goddess Ammit, who has been released by Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) to bring death to much of humanity....

Marvel shows on Disney+ have largely delivered great finales so far. Final episodes have given us the first appearance of Sam Wilson as Captain America, He Who Remains warning Loki and Sylvie about the incoming Kang the Conqueror, and the Watcher forced to intervene against an Infinity Stone-powered Ultron. As it heads into its episode six finale, Moon Knight has just as much possibility for an explosive end, thanks in part to the many questions that remain....

Mr. Robot Season 3 Episode 1 When it’s all said and done Mr. Robot may be the only show in history where I wouldn’t be completely disappointed if all of this was just in the main character’s head the whole time. Ok, that’s probably not true. The “this was all a dream/hallucination/snowglobe” hasn’t been attempted in a meaningful way since St. Elsewhere in 1988 and rightfully so. It’s cheap and it undercuts rule #1 in the television Hippocratic oath: What you’re seeing matters....
