"The killer... is one of us!" Republic Pictures has revealed a trailer for a murder mystery comedy called Reunion, from director Chris Nelson. This one is set for a direct-to-vod release in June this summer. After a murder at a high school reunion party, the remaining guests are trapped in a snowbound mansion, not knowing who to trust. They race to uncover which one of their old classmates is the killer before they're all iced out for good. Starring Lil Rel Howery, Billy Magnussen, Jillian Bell, Jamie Chung, Michael Hitchcock, Nina Dobrev, Chace Crawford. This just a movie version of that streaming series The Afterparty, which is already on Season 2. Looks extra cheap, and cheesy, and definitely something to skip over on the VOD options when choosing what to watch. // Continue Reading ›...

Since bursting onto the scene via Twitch in 2015, Critical Role has morphed from a group of friends playing a game of Dungeons & Dragons to a worldwide entertainment sensation. Among the accomplishments the company has created since taking control of its own IP in 2018: a hit animated series on Prime Video, novel and comic tie-ins by way of their own publishing arm Darrington Press, and of course, innovative new games and systems in the tabletop roleplay space. One of those latest offerings is their own brainchild: Candela Obscura. Created by Critical Role’s Taliesin Jaffe and Chris Lockey, with lead designer Spenser Starke (Alice is Missing) and writer Rowan Hall (Willing & Fable), the game was conceived alongside Darrington Press using the company’s new roleplay system Illuminated Worlds. The live play horror drama follows a diverse group of investigators, ranging from professors to criminals to mediums, who ...

It’s not just video games that dominate the digital airwaves on platforms like Twitch — there’s a huge contingent of viewers who yearn for the old days of pen and paper, with tabletop RPGs making a huge splash virtually in the last few years. In fact, once-niche games like Dungeons & Dragons (which turns 50 this year) have taken on new life in the age of livestreaming, and more popular than ever.

While Universal and Blumhouse were clearly hoping to replicate the success of their Halloween series, things got off to a rocky start with The Exorcist: Believer. The film released to a measly 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and was widely derided (check out our review Here). With its recent release on Peacock, Universal is now readying for the physical media release and probably looking for a silver lining. Heck, there are still supposed to be two more of these movies. So let’s find out if the The Exorcist: Believer Blu-ray is worth a purchase.
The Movie: The Exorcist: Believer may have just been the most disliked horror movie of the year. Much like last year’s Halloween Ends, this movie has been put through the ringer. And while I certainly think there’s an element of truth to it having some bad elements, I wouldn’t call the overall film bad.

Despite multiple red herrings, clues, and characters like Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) blaming Pazuzu for the dual possessions haunting The Exorcist: Believer, the entity responsible is actually a very different demonic figure from Mesopotamian lore: Lamashtu.
While the demon can be barely glimpsed in a quick flash on screen, makeup effects co-designers Chris Nelson and Vincent Van Dyke give a closer look at their stellar work via Instagram.
The Exorcist: Believer, now available on Digital, frequently makes callbacks and ties to the original film by writer William Peter Blatty and director William Friedkin. Moreover, it frequently alludes to Pazuzu as the one behind the mysterious disappearance, reappearance, and subsequent possessions of young girls Angela (Lidya Jewett) and Katherine (Olivia O’Neill). It seems reasonable that the demon first encountered by Father Merrin (Max von Sydow) might be back thanks to frequent references and calls for “Mother” and a seemingly intimate familiarity with Chris MacNeil.

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers.]
It’s 50 years later in “The Exorcist: Believer,” and director David Gordon Green has rebooted William Friedkin’s horror masterpiece of demonic possession without sacrificing the original’s naturalism, ambiguity, and religious faith. However, there’s a new demon, two possessed girls, and a multi-faith exorcism. That’s because, in 2023, it takes a village to battle more powerful evil.
But it was vital that Spfx makeup designer Chris Nelson (Oscar winner for “Suicide Squad”) got the demonic look right, given the importance and influence of Dick Smith’s iconic work in the Og. “Chris Nelson and our makeup team began their approach to ‘Believer’ by studying the work of Dick Smith,'” Green told IndieWire. “It was groundbreaking in 1973, and we wanted to reach for the quality of in-camera, practical, makeup effects as much as possible.

“The Legend of Vox Machina” Season 2 is putting a major emphasis on the “dragons” of Dungeons and Dragons.
The Prime Video series dropped an action-packed official trailer for Season 2, which begins rolling out on the streamer on Jan. 20. Like the first season, the follow-up will release three episodes per week, culminating in 12 episodes total.
Season 2 will follow the Chroma Conclave campaign from Critical Role’s popular Dungeons and Dragons web series. The heroes of Vox Machina will have to face a powerful group of dragons called the Chroma Conclave before they destroy the world of Exandria. And these aren’t your typical fire-breathing dragons — they spew ice and acid and have nearly impenetrable armor. To defeat these beasts, the Vox Machina heroes must find rare weapons powerful enough to kill gods. Or, as Grog the goliath suggests, they could just “fuck shit up.”

A lawsuit against Phoebe Bridgers has been dismissed.
In September of 2021, the singer was sued for defamation by Chris Nelson, a Los Angeles-based record producer and owner of Sound Space studio. Nelson had claimed that Bridgers used her popular Instagram account to share false and malicious statements about him, to her millions of followers, “in order to destroy his reputation,” adding that it caused him emotional distress.
In February 2022, Bridgers responded to Nelson’s suit by stating that she believed “the statements I made in my Instagram story are true.”

A multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit filed against US musician Phoebe Bridgers has been dropped.
The case was originally filed by producer Chris Nelson back in September 2021. Nelson sued the “Kyoto” singer for 3.8m (£3.2m), claiming she spread false accusations about him.
At the time he alleged defamation, false light, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and intentional interference with prospective economic relations.
In the original suit, it stated that that Bridgers had “consensual sexual encounters” with Nelson and his then girlfriend, Emily Bannon “around 2018”, which continued until Bannon and Nelson broke up in 2019.
Following his split with Bannon, Nelson claims that Bridgers “maliciously and intentionally posted the false and defamatory statements about [him] as part of a vendetta to destroy [his] reputation that was inflamed by defendant Bridgers and his [ex-girlfriend, Bannon’s] sexual relationship”.
The defamation relates to an Instagram post from October 2020, where Nelson claims Bridgers made “false and misleading statements” on her account,...

Billed as the final film in David Gordon Green‘s sequel trilogy, Halloween Ends surely won’t be the last movie in the franchise but it’s likely to be the final time Jamie Lee Curtis returns to do battle with Michael Myers. Not surprisingly, it’s a promise that put asses in the seats over the weekend, with Halloween Ends scaring up 58.4 million worldwide thus far.
Domestically, Halloween Ends made 41.2 million in its opening weekend across 3,901 theaters. That puts Halloween Ends in the #1 spot on the domestic charts this week, and the film is likely to rocket past 100 million worldwide in these next two weeks before Halloween.
For the sake of comparison, Halloween had a domestic opening of 76 million back in 2018, while Halloween Kills opened to 49 million here in the United States just last year.

In the wake of yesterday’s final trailer, a brand new featurette for Halloween Ends has arrived this afternoon, further teasing “The Final Battle” that’s set for October 14, 2022.
“Fans are gonna lose their fucking minds,” Jamie Lee Curtis notes in the new featurette video, which you’ll find below. Halloween Ends is set four years after the events of Halloween Kills, and Curtis also teases the mindset of Laurie Strode going into this final battle with Michael.
“The 2018 movie and Kills were about a woman who was prepared for Michael. Every day of her life. This is a movie where she’s actually trying to move on. And then Michael comes back.”
“There is a battle,” she adds. “A final reckoning. It’s crazy intense.”

Trilogy-ender Halloween Ends is headed to theaters and Peacock on October 14, and the film marks the return not only of Jamie Lee Curtis‘s Laurie Strode but also Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, who appeared in the original horror classic alongside Curtis. Richards also returned for Halloween Kills last year, her character surviving the events of that film.
What has Lindsey Wallace been up to since the events of Halloween Kills? Jamie Lee Curtis has shared a new shot from Halloween Ends, giving us a sneak peek at Lindsey’s return.
Is this merely Lindsey’s Halloween costume, or has she become a tarot reader in the four years since her harrowing experience in Halloween Kills? We’ll find out in a few more weeks.

Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are getting ready to have their final fight in Halloween Ends, which is coming to theaters and also streaming on Peacock on October 14, 2022.
In a new interview that just made its way onto our desk this morning, Jamie Lee Curtis teases Laurie Strode’s mental state in Halloween Ends, set four years after Halloween Kills. In addition to noting that Laurie has moved on from worrying about Michael Myers, a stark contrast from the previous two films in this trilogy, she also seems to tease another threat entirely.
“It’s a movie about a final reckoning… between Laurie and Michael,” she says of Halloween Ends. “There is a battle between them, and the irony is that the 2018 and 2021 movies were about a woman who was prepared for Michael. Every day of her life, since she was 17 years old. This is a movie where she’s actually moved on.

Halloween Ends is coming to theaters And Peacock on October 14, the film taking place four years after the events of Halloween Kills and promising the Final fight between Michael and Laurie. What were they up to in those four lost years, you might be wondering?
Director David Gordon Green explains to Total Film that Laurie Strode has finally found herself in a better place. As for Michael, well, it sounds like we’ll never really know where he’s been.
“We don’t really explain that,” David Gordon Green tells the magazine. “It’s like: I don’t want to see where Jaws goes to sleep at night when I’m watching a shark movie. I want to see him when he pops up, and he’s got an appetite!”
Jamie Lee Curtis tells Total Film, on the other hand, “By the time you meet Laurie Strode, she has gotten help.

The original Michael Myers mask gets more and more damaged with each passing installment in the new trilogy, and today brings a nice clear look at the nasty Halloween Ends mask.

Halloween Ends is coming to theaters And Peacock on October 14, and the film is set four years after Halloween Kills. That would explain the mold and further damage to the mask.

Additionally, Empire shares some insights from director David Gordon Green this morning. Of note, he tells Empire that the film’s ending, well, it’s still very much in flux.
“It changes every day,” Gordon Green tells the outlet. “In theory, the picture is locked, but this morning I called the editor and said, ‘What if we do this one thing…’ I speak with John [Carpenter] and Jamie Lee Curtis regularly about it. It’s exciting, uncertain, satisfying and sad. I’ve enjoyed the ride but it’s probably time to get off. I think we’re gonna go out with a bang.”
Gordon Green also teases to Empire, “If our second film was free-for-all, violent chaos, this is a more intimate,...

The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter wasn’t needed for any testimony in the civil case, so her presence was a show of support for her anti-slapp motion claiming she was protected by the First Amendment when she accused Sound Space studio owner Chris Nelson of abusive conduct in an October 2020 Instagram post.

The TV academy has honored voice-only performances since 1992, when six cast members from “The Simpsons” collectively became the first actors to receive Emmys for such work. The Best Voice-Over Performance category became an official non-juried one in 2009 and was then split into two categories in 2014: Best Character Voice-Over and Best Narrator. Harry Shearer (“The Simpsons”) made history as the former category’s first champion, having been nominated once before for the same series.
The 2022 Best Character Voice-Over ballot list below consists of a whopping 222 performances. Seeking a third consecutive victory is Maya Rudolph, who plays Connie the Hormone Monstress on “Big Mouth.” Also in the mix are former winners Shearer, Hank Azaria (“The Simpsons”), Alex Borstein (“Family Guy”), and Seth MacFarlane (“Family Guy”).
Unlike the live action and fictional program nominees, which are chosen by all 22,000 plus academy members, the Best Character Voice-Over contenders are picked only by voters...

There’s an old adage in tabletop roleplaying circles: no one is as interested in your character and campaign as you are. But the popularity of podcasts like Adventure Zone and Critical Role have revealed that with the right storytellers and cast, there’s a large audience eager to follow characters on their wacky adventures. Following a wildly successful, record breaking Kickstarter to fund an animated special, the Critical Role team expanded their initial idea from a short animated project to a full season, picked up by Amazon Prime Video.
Clearly, the fans of the podcast would follow the cast to the animated adaptation. But what about viewers who’d never listened to the extensive campaign? They might find some value in the venture as well…after a few episodes.

The Legend Of Vox MacHina is an animated fantasy adventure for adult viewers – especially those who groove on Dungeons and Dragons and similar forays into the realms of magical creatures with special powers clashing over their various kingdoms, planets, etc. I am not one of them, but still enjoyed the heck out the first six episodes of this new series on Amazon Prime.
A diverse little band of mercenaries who really can’t fully get along with each other, undertake quests for profit. Some of them are too bawdy for prime-time; the language is salty, and the action sequences can be pretty elaborate. There’s even a bit of nudity on the menu. If they have backstories from other media, I don’t know what it is, and fellow newbies won’t need it to dive right in. The first episode establishes the tone and defines the players quite nicely,...

Critical Role’s violent, Dungeons & Dragons animated series “The Legend of Vox Machina” is growing its party with an army of talented voice actors, such as Stephanie Beatriz, David Tennant, Tony Hale and many more.
The guest actors will give life to many of the side characters from Critical Role’s popular Dungeons & Dragons web series, which is now launching as a Prime Video animated series on Jan. 28. In the original Critical Role campaign, dungeon master and creator Matthew Mercer voiced all of the non-player characters, but he’ll now get some help from the A-list talent.
The guest stars include Beatriz as Lady Kima, Hale as Sir Fince, Tennant as General Krieg, Dominic Monaghan as Archibald Desnay, Stephen Root as Professor Anders, Gina Torres as Keeper Yennen, Felicia Day as Captain of Emon and Indira Varma as Lady Allura Vysoren.
The list continues with Anjali Bhimani as Head Cleric,...
