Where do you stand on the 1985 film version of “The Color Purple,” which was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, but won none? Some feel it wasn’t Steven Spielberg’s story to tell. Others marvel at how a director of the upbringing depicted in “The Fabelmans” managed to recognize and reflect so many aspects of Black culture: the music, the spirituality, the multiple catharses to which it builds. Looking back, Spielberg did justice to Alice Walker’s Pulitzer-winning novel, but he also left room to expand and improve.
Now, nearly four decades later, a rousing new version arrives from director Blitz Bazawule, who collaborated with Beyoncé on her 2020 visual album “Black Is King.” Instead of rejecting what came before, the Ghanian filmmaker embraces and builds upon it, collaborating with Spielberg, Quincy Jones and Oprah Winfrey to update the material for the next generation (all three serve as producers).

Hunter Hayes builds his new song “Wild Blue” around a percussive groove, singing over subtle piano about how the 27-year-old songwriter is undergoing a personal sea change. “Funny how you don’t know you can fly until you finally catch the wind,” he sings. “You think you know the part you play until somebody goes and rewrites the script.”
And then it all explodes, with Hayes delivering a soaring, cathartic guitar solo before the song returns to its subdued piano origin. The title track off Hayes’ just announced new album,...

Reactions continue to pour in on the death of Stephanie Niznik, who died last month at age 52 in Encino, Calif. of unknown causes.
Everwood creator Greg Berlanti and showrunner Rina Mimoun were the latest to weigh in. Niznik is best known for her role as neighbor Nina Feeney on Everwood during its four-season run from 2002-2006.
In a joint statement, the executive producers called Niznik “the mother of our tribe” for the medical drama series.

She continued that role off-screen by being an incredible friend, a nurturing mother figure to our younger cast members and an artist who brought warmth,...

Tim Conway's approach to comedy was so off-kilter his Carol Burnett Show acting partners couldn't keep straight faces.
It always appeared there were two jokes going on when Tim Conway took a turn on stage on The Carol Burnett Show. He was acting for the audience, but he was also trying to break up his co-performers. This gave the audience a view into an inside joke being tossed around by the troupe, and sometimes it looked like he was pulling a gag on his fellow performers. Tim Conway had a genius for making almost every line appear to be off-script and improvised. The quintessential in-the-moment comic performer died at 8:45 a.m. on May 14, in the Los Angeles area, according to Variety.
Conway was first noticed as Ernest Borgnine's sidekick on the 1960s sitcom McHale's Navy, an honor he continued when the pair reunited for SpongeBob SquarePants,...

Hunter Hayes has released the optimistic “Heartbreak” as his first official single since 2016, offering a first look at an upcoming album release.
Built on an energetic acoustic-guitar riff and driven by a propulsive country-pop rhythm, the danceable tune finds Hayes looking for a future soulmate and staying positive, despite the terrible experiences of his past. It also finds Hayes moving away from the boy-next-door aesthetic of his previous work, dropping a little profanity into his quick-moving vocal flow.

Starz has released a second season trailer for “American Gods,” which returns to the cabler Mar. 10, depicting the brewing war between Gods old and new in the series based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name.
“When people first came to America they brought us with them,” the trailer begins, flashing images of Old Gods including Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) and Mr. Nancy (Orlando Jones).
Quickly, the images become more modern and Sarah McLachlan’s “Dear God” plays. “Gradually they abandoned us,” the voiceover continues. “Now there are new Gods growing in America, and they want to destroy us.”
As Mr. Wednesday tosses Shadow (Ricky Whittle) a spear he tells him “war’s a-coming” and that he has a “big role” for him. The trailer also offers first looks at new characters for the season played by Sakina Jaffrey and Dean Winters.

Over the last several years, filmmaker Mike Flanagan has quickly established himself as one of the best and most assured genre storytellers of the last decade. From Absentia to Oculus to Hush, as well as Ouija: Origin of Evil and Before I Wake (which this writer is still patiently waiting for a Stateside release), Flanagan has a proven track record as a confident director, and his latest project, Gerald’s Game, is another example of his ability to tell uniquely compelling stories in a way that only he can.
Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Flanagan about his experiences adapting the acclaimed Stephen King novel for Netflix, the challenges he faced with both the material as well as keeping his mostly single location story intriguing on a visual level. Flanagan also chatted about collaborating with “force of nature” Carla Gugino for Gerald’s Game and how she...

It’s been a very strong year for Stephen King adaptations (well, adaptations not named The Dark Tower), with the release of Andy Muschietti’s It and several new TV series, too. Now we’ve got two other stellar projects making their way to Netflix, Gerald’s Game from Mike Flanagan (Ouija: Origin of Evil, Oculus, Hush) and 1922 from genre newcomer Zak Hilditch. This dynamic duo of Netflix films recently screened at the 2017 Fantastic Fest in Austin, and I'd like to share my thoughts on these two wildly different films that were both equally compelling and entertaining viewing experiences all the same.

Christie Brinkley’s Turks & Caicos home lived up to its name in Hurricane Irma.
“Our house ‘Lucky House’ was for the most part spared!” the supermodel and mom of three wrote in an emotional Instagram post. “I named it Lucky House because we all feel so lucky to call it home.”
After hearing news of the impending storm earlier this month, Brinkley, 63, tried to remain positive that her family’s abode was safe and sound. “I tried to be philosophical as I was sure our home was underwater,” she writes on the side-by-side photo of the estate before and after it weathered Irma.

Social media to the rescue! Saturday Night Live writer Nick Kocher turned to Twitter for help over the weekend after he grabbed the wrong garment bag while exiting a Delta flight from New York City to Los Angeles. Inside the garment bag was Kocher's tuxedo for the 2017 Emmys, so he needed that back Asap before the show on Sunday. "If You Flew From New York To Los Angeles For The Emmys Please Dear God Read This," Kocher tweeted Saturday alongside a longer message explaining the situation. "Ok internet. I need your help," the message began. "Yesterday I flew from JFK to Lax and grabbed the wrong garment bag off the plane. So now I have somebody else's tuxedo...

MaryAnn’s quick take… Lurid, pointless thriller teases us with a teenaged girl’s sexual and mortal peril, creating awful suspense around her abuse. Her terror is your titillation. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
The bare arms and legs of teen girl athletes, all smooth and tanned, as they run around on a ball court. So enticing! So alluring! Who is watching them? Serial-killer couple Evelyn and John White, their lazy covetous murderous gaze brought to us in slow-motion by screenwriter and director Ben Young. But it’s not the Whites who have slowed down time or chopped off the girls’ faces and heads — we may presume the couple see the girls’ full bodies at regular speed as they sit watching from their parked car nearby; they’re not even close enough to have...

Dear Maya
Starring Manisha Koirala, Madiha Imam,Shreya Chaudhary, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Written & Directed by Sunaina Bhatnagar
First things first. Dear Maya is a dear little gem of a film that you would want to hold close to your heart. As debutant director Sunaina Bhantangar charts a course through the heart of her beautiful protagonist Maya, the narrative tugs at your heartstrings without being manipulative or excessively maudlin.
Among the many aspects of the film that left me deeply moved is its controlled emotion projection. This could have been an overwhelming story of a beautiful lonely woman and her faithful washed-out woman-Friday fading away in her self-created isolation in the anonymity of a hill station (something like our Bollywood diva Rekha, if she were not a celebrity) until, one fine day, when she is suddenly jostled into a delayed blossoming.
Manisha Koirala plays the wilting flower with heartbreaking integrity. She...

Today, President Donald Trump announced that the United States will be pulling out of the historic Paris Accord, an agreement on climate change and environmental policy, signed just over a year ago by then-Secretary of State John Kerry. Every country in the world but Syria and Nicaragua signed the agreement.
It didn’t take long following Trump’s announcement (which he gave jointly with Epa chief Scott Pruitt) for the reactions from famous names to start rolling in.
Politicians, of course, spoke out. Former President Barack Obama said that the U.S. was no longer a global leader when it comes to climate change.

Summer allegedly belongs to the blockbusters, but this June's offering up some spotty pickings in the franchise world, beyond the rise of a long-deserving female superhero and the remounting of a Universal horror landmark. So feel free to ditch Cars 3, Despicable Me 3, and Transformers: Dear God How Many Has It Been Now and give something a little off the beaten path a look. Like, maybe, a boundary-busting romcom, or a musical thrill ride forged from vinyl, or an enigmatic slow-burn horror oddity. Here's what you need to check...

MaryAnn’s quick take… The franchise finally overstays its welcome with this cacophony of CGI spectacle, a contrived and confusing plot, and a newly cruel and stupid Jack Sparrow. I’m “biast” (pro): loved the original trilogy…
I’m “biast” (con): …but started to lose a little patience with the fourth film

Okay, make it stop. This amusement-park ride has gone on long enough. It is no longer any fun. I’m feeling a bit nauseated, in fact.
I adored the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy: they were smart, fun popcorn flicks that worked as clever updates on the classic Hollywood swashbuckler, all adventure and movie-movie romance and total, wonderful nonsense. With the third installment, 2007’s At World’s End, the series even managed to whip up some satirical zing, in its plot about gig-economy independent-contractor pirates versus...

The film world was deeply saddened when news broke today that Oscar-winning “The Silence of the Lambs” director Jonathan Demme had died in New York at the age of 73. Demme was a brilliant and versatile auteur, traversing genres with rarely a misfire. He is remembered by those who worked with him, and those whom his work inspired.
Tom Hanks, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of a lawyer dying of AIDS in Demme’s “Philadelphia,” wrote: “Jonathan taught us how big a heart a person can have, and how it will guide how we live and what we do for a living. He was the grandest of men.” Meryl Streep, who worked with Demme on 2015’s “Ricki and the Flash,” said: “A big hearted, big tent, compassionate man- in full embrace in his life of people in need- and of the potential of art, music, poetry and film to...

Jonathan Demme, the Oscar-winning director behind The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia, died Wednesday morning, People confirms. He was 73 years old.
A representative for Demme said he died at his apartment in New York City due to complications from esophageal cancer.
The family plans to hold a private funeral and asked that donations be made to Americans For Immigrant Justice in Miami, Florida, in lieu of flowers.
Demme first made his debut with the 1971 biker film Angels Hard as They Come.

This week’s question: What’s a show you’ve been meaning to watch but haven’t gotten around to yet? Why?
April Neale (@aprilmac), Monsters & Critics
I hang my head in shame, I never got to “The Wire.” Whenever people go on about it, I engage, smile and nod my head like, “Yeah, Stringer Bell, man.” It also starred Dominic West who comes from that strain of dark-haired British men like Ian McShane who are catnip to me. I’ve seen extended clips and snips but never had the perfect storm of time to go back and review this landmark series. It’s up there with putting a scrapbook together in my old age,...

2017-04-04T12:50:12-07:00Jordan Klepper to Take Over 'Nightly Show'
Stephen Colbert spun his role as The Daily Show's smarmy white guy into his own Comedy Central show, and now his spiritual successor, Jordan Klepper, is fulfilling that same destiny.
On Tuesday, Comedy Central announced that Klepper, who joined the Daily Show lineup in 2014, will take over the 11:30 p.m. Et/Pt time slot formerly held by The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore this fall. (Donald Trump impersonator Anthony Atamanuik will keep the spot warm on Thursdays starting April 27 when The President Show premieres.)
"The choice to entrust me with the 11:30 p.m. timeslot is both incredibly humbling and deeply disturbing,” Klepper declared in a statement. “Without a doubt, it has utterly destroyed my confidence in Comedy Central’s decision-making acumen. Dear God, now I have to work with these fools.”

Yet another Daily Show correspondent is striking out on his own: Comedy Central on Tuesday greenlit a news satire show led by Jordan Klepper.
Klepper’s Monday-Thursday, 11:30/10:30c broadcast is “a companion series” to The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, according to an official release from the network. Klepper will perform in the guise of his Daily Show persona. Episode will begin airing in the fall.

Comedy Central has finally announced a new companion series for “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” and they haven’t gone far to find a host. Jordan Klepper, who’s been with the show since 2014, will move to his own new late night talk show this fall.

In a world where there are a lot of indie filmmakers doing it wrong, it's refreshing when it's done right.
Now, I'm not talking about film quality or tired stories etc. I'm talking about old fashioned "We actually give a shit about our fans and want them to know." It's about the little things.
Running a horror website for over seven years in the red with no steady income stream generated by the site can get quite discouraging. What makes it worse is when filmmakers and producers feel they are gracing you with their film and doing you a favor by "letting you" watch their movie's, forgetting that the professional rout is to offer a screener for review consideration.
Here at MoreHorror we try to get to as many screeners as we can, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Sometimes, there's no real incentive, just a sense of expectation,...

By strange and fortuitous coincidence, my meeting with Jack Garfein fell upon the nexus of several intersecting moments in history. It was Friday, January 27th — International Holocaust Remembrance Day. One week earlier, Donald J. Trump was sworn to office as forty-fifth President of the United States; and in the ensuing weekend, allegations of Trump’s unpunished sexual misconduct, callous attitudes toward women and courting of radical right-wing supporters helped bring about the Women’s March on Washington, one of the largest mass protests in the nation’s history. All around, people are anxiously reading the past with tenuous hopes and fears for the future. History, so often a thing defined after the fact, is currently in violent and furious motion.
Jack Garfein is living history, and he’s not shy about telling it. Born to Ukrainian Jews in 1930, Mr. Garfein personally witnessed as a child the rise of Nazi Germany...

In the Season 4 finale of “Episodes” — the last entry we’ll see until the final season hits in 2017 — Matt LeBlanc and his friend, Sean Lincoln, are sitting at a bar, mourning his upcoming gig as a game show host. Titled “The Box,” the new series asks seven contestants (or “idiots,” as LeBlanc calls them) to spend 17 weeks trapped inside a glass cube for the chance at fame and fortune. By remaining inside, they earn points that can be used to make their stay easier (i.e., a sandwich) or make their opponents’ lives harder (dumping a boatload of bugs into their cube).
“Dear God, why would someone do that?” Sean asks Matt.
“Money,” LeBlanc says. “To be on TV. I don’t know. It’s crazy.”
“Although…”
“What?”
“Well, you’re willing to be a game show host for money and to be on TV.”

Now, we’re inundated with stories about people picking up their dog’s poop, or stories that aren’t even true. I mean: how many times has Jennifer Aniston been pregnant? Dear God!”
The media is remorseless, Lively continues, and mystery is the victim. “People want to know more, and that’s a really dangerous thing. With cinema, it means the greater narrative isn’t what you’re seeing on screen, it’s what you’re seeing off screen.”

One man's lifelong quest to defeat a Sega Megadrive videogame - and how it finally was achieved...
The year was 1994, and the Nintendo v Sega console war was still going strong. It was a time just before Sony entered the scene and rewrote the rules, and the Internet hadn’t sucked the entire planet into its loving embrace. Video games generally cost a pretty penny back then, so if you bought any game – good or bad – you’d generally be playing it for at least a year.
If you choose the Sega side like me and went for the Megadrive, then you were provided with a six-game multicart. This cartridge of goodness contained classic beat ‘em up Streets Of Rage, where you punch through waves of punks that look suspiciously like Adrian Edmondson from The Young Ones.

It's not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but holy hell this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking. I thumbed through it quickly and found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels: Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom: There's plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I'm not going to bore you with that.

Yesterday, we reported the wholly unsurprising news that Black Manta will be the main villain in the Aquaman movie, possibly because most of the other villains are stupid, and now the internet has done its duty by stepping in to nominate the perfect actor for that role.

The scoop, at this point, remains unconfirmed (WB had declined to comment to the outlet), but given Aquaman's history with the villain, he would be a good pick for this inaugural standalone film for the King of Atlantis.

So how true is this rumor? As mentioned above, Warner Bros. has yet to comment, and in a recent interview with Slash Film, Aquaman director James Wan wasn't so helpful in the matter.
“I want to know where Wrap got that piece of news from [laughs]. Come on,...
