One of the biggest double-acts in modern cinema is back at it again. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are teaming up again, and this time they'll both be behind the scenes. The duo is producing Carthage Must Be Destroyed, a new action thriller from Ocean's 11 writer Ted Griffin. Deadline reports that Griffin will both write and direct the film, making it his feature directorial debut. It is set to begin production in October in Rhode Island. Carthage Must Be Destroyed will center around a drifter who comes to a crumbling Rust Belt town in the grip of a ruthless criminal syndicate. In shades of Yojimboand A Fistful of Dollars, the stranger sows the seeds of chaos amidst the town's corrupt power players, hoping to free the citizenry from their shackles.

It will be the first directorial feature for Griffin, who has previously helmed episodes of Terriers(which he created), Mad Dogs,...

A new chapter of the miserable history of Shadyside unfolds as Netflix’s beloved Fear Street franchise brings its latest entry, Prom Queen, four years after the release of the original movie trilogy. Adapted from R. L. Stine’s Prom Queen, the movie revolves around Shadyside High senior prom night of 1988, which becomes a hunting ground for a new masked serial killer. Unlike the previous entries, there is a noticeable distance the narrative maintains with the established mythos of Sarah Fier or Goode family shenanigans, featuring only some minor acknowledgements. This effort to treat the movie as its own thing would have worked if the characters were interesting enough instead of being limited to high school drama stereotypes. While earlier entries made conscious efforts to build emotional connections and made the leads appear like rounded characters with individuality, Prom Queen doesn’t bother with anything of that sort. As a result,...

Look, I don’t usually quote old Fleetwood Mac lyrics before a TV review, but “Players only love you when they’re playing” has never hit harder. Episode 8 of Your Friends and Neighbors doesn’t just throw punches; it lets them simmer, like a scorned lover stirring soup laced with secrets. There’s no redemption arc here, no triumphant violin crescendo. Just Coop, spiraling faster than a flushed stock market, as friends, enemies, and frenemies become indistinguishable in the rearview mirror of a stolen Lexus.

Episode 7 was a hard punch; Coop, fresh off surviving a hit-and-run engineered by Christian, suddenly found himself in Detective Lin’s unforgiving spotlight for Paul’s murder. Now, in the eighth episode, aptly titled When Did We Become These People?, acts as both confession and autopsy. From Coop’s murky bail-out and depleted loot stash to Mel finally getting a slice of karma with her pink slip,...

Exclusive: Robert Luketic has signed with Paradigm for representation.

With a filmography grossing over $1 billion globally, Luketic is an Australian-American director known for his vibrant storytelling and collaborations with Hollywood’s leading talent. His debut feature, Legally Blonde (2001), starring Reese Witherspoon, was a critical and commercial success that grossed over $140 million worldwide and earned two Golden Globe nominations.

Luketic flexed his versatility in films like Monster-in-Law (2005), a comedic clash starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, and 21 (2008), a darker, suspenseful drama based on the true story of MIT students exploiting Las Vegas casinos, featuring a cast led by Kevin Spacey, Laurence Fishburne, and Jim Sturgess. He focused on chemistry-driven storytelling in The Ugly Truth (2009), led by Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, and balanced humour with action in Killers (2010), a reteaming with Heigl and featuring Ashton Kutcher in a tale of espionage.

Luketic has also directed a crime drama – 21 – and a thriller – Paranoia – over the years, but still, his latest project does appear to be, as Variety put it, a case of him stepping outside of his comfort zone.

Samuel French, a Texas actor on the rise who portrayed the undercover FBI agent Cj Robinson in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, has died. He was 45.

French died Friday in a hospital in his birthplace of Waco, Texas, writer-director Paul Sinacore told The Hollywood Reporter. He had battled a cancer that spread through his body over the past couple of years.

French will be seen alongside Eric Roberts in his final film, playing a detective in Sinacore’s upcoming historical drama Towpath, set in 1964 during the civil rights movement. Watch the trailer here.

“Samuel was a dear friend and an incredible actor,” Sinacore said. “Towpath wouldn’t exist without him, and the incredible intensity he brought to the role of Det. Bernard Crooke set the tone for the entire film. Together we were on an extraordinary journey, giving everything we had to realize a shared creative vision.

Ashton Kutcher’s Chilling Story Of Escaping A Serial Killer (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Ashton Kutcher’s statement during the hearing of alleged repeat murderer Michael Gargiulo made headlines across Tinseltown in 2019. The performer, most recognized for his performances in That ’70s Show and Two and a Half Men, landed in the witness stand, recalling a haunting memory from 2001.

At that time, the U.S. entertainer had planned an outing with Ashley Ellerin, a 22-year-old style scholar. He showed up at her Hollywood bungalow to pick her up, but things quickly went sideways. According to Fox 11, he showed up tardy, roughly at 10:30 p.m., after attempting (and not succeeding) to contact Ellerin via telephone. The lamps were illuminated within her residence, yet nobody responded to the entrance.

He peeked through another window and saw what he “thought was a red wine spilled on the carpet”—an odd, but harmless sight.

The original Alice Cooper band has released the new song “Black Mamba,” which features a guest spot by Robby Krieger of The Doors.

The single comes a couple days after Cooper and company announced their first album in 51 years, The Return of Alice Cooper, arriving July 25th. As the LP’s opening track, “Black Mamba” kicks it back to ’70s-era Alice with a crunchy blues-rock sound and the same murky psychedelia that defined the original Cooper band’s earliest albums such as Pretties for You and Easy Action.

Speaking with Billboard, Cooper described the track as “definitely an Alice Cooper, from-the-ground-up song” that came about during the album sessions. Krieger, a friend of the band since its days in Los Angeles in the late 1960s, was tapped for additional guitarwork.

“It wasn’t even a song yet,” bassist Dennis Dunaway told Billboard. “We’re in...

Mad Men 2.0?

Well, not exactly — but Jon Hamm’s charming yet flawed character Coop, in the upcoming Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors, is already being compared to the iconic Don Draper from Mad Men. Since the latter show ended a decade ago, Hamm has appeared in several hit shows like Fargo, The Morning Show and Landman.

However, his role as Coop marks his return to TV as a leading man. At the show’s New York City premiere Tuesday, Hamm told The Hollywood Reporter what it was about the project that drew him back.

“It was meeting with Jonathan Tropper and being a fan of his work as a novelist, a short story author and his work in television film — I knew I’d be in good hands,” Hamm said at the series premiere. “I knew he could find a tone and a look and a story that...

If 54-year-old Jon Hamm were a genre, he’d be a delicious cocktail of charm, mystery, and just the right amount of chaos to keep stuff spicey. Whether he’s mooning over in Mad Men or getting gut-bustlingly unhinged in a comedy sketch, the man’s got range.

Now, as the two-time Golden Globe award-winner gears up to star in the upcoming drama series Your Friends & Neighbors, critics are already toasting. Yep, the show hasn’t even dropped yet, but the early reviews are calling it “sharp, twisted, and peak Hamm,” which pretty much does sound like our kind of party.

So, whether you’re deep in your Hamm era or just Hamm-curious, this list’s your official starter pack. Seven must-watch movies and shows that prove Jon Hamm ain’t just a snack; he’s the whole dang charcuterie board.

Behaviour Interactive are dipping their toes into the anime world again for Dead by Daylight, announcing that the hit anime series, “Tokyo Ghoul,” will be bringing the Ken Kaneki character to the game as the newest Killer on April 2. As with previous Killers and Survivors, Kanecki is now as part of the Steam public test build ahead of the official launch.

Yes, considering Ken Kaneki is Tokyo Ghoul’s protagonist, he’s entered The Fog as Dead by Daylight’s newest Killer, known as The Ghoul. In the original story of Tokyo Ghoul, following a near-fatal accident, the unassuming Kaneki receives a life-saving organ transplant – from a Ghoul. He awakens a half-human, half-Ghoul hybrid forced to feed on human flesh to survive while desperately fighting to retain what remains of his humanity.

After narrowly surviving unimaginable torture at the hands of the Ghoul, Jason, Kaneki’s mind had already been pushed to the breaking point.

As a cinemagoer, you never want to be waiting for your film to end. The cause of such a feeling might be boredom, or an increasingly desperate toilet situation, or regret at not packing enough snacks. Most annoyingly, you might actually be enjoying whatever you’re watching, just tinged with a niggling sensation that so-and-so self-indulgent auteur can’t help but slightly outstay their welcome, losing you in the final act. For all those situations, there’s an easy solution: an intermission. A mid-movie pause, so the audience can have a break, the story can reset, and everyone comes into Part 2 feeling energised. This, most wisely, is the choice taken by The Brutalist.

Brady Corbet’s heavily-Oscar-nommed, big-serious-drama epic clocks in at a – fittingly – brutal three hour and 35 minute runtime, true to its weighty ambitions. Brilliantly, 15 of those minutes constitute a mid-film intermission. This is not a cinema-dependent presentational flourish...

It looks like NCIS: Origins traded in its usual gunfire and life-or-death situations for a little emotional warfare instead. In all seriousness, this had to be the most emotionally charged episode of the season.

Truth be told, I wasn’t sure why the series needed to backtrack to how Gibbs ended up at the Nis. The story could have easily gone on without Gibbs’s little journey from Marine to Nis Agent. It seemed pretty cut and dry.

Thankfully, the NCIS: Origins writers never miss an opportunity to showcase how easily they can make audiences cry. Someone should see how Kleenex’s stock is doing.

While “Blue Bayou” didn’t deliver action or mind-blowing twists, it did offer the insight we’ve been craving for Gibbs and even Lala. That said, is anyone else annoyed by the bait-and-switch Christmas episode?

From their humble beginnings in the dingy clubs of East London to headlining arenas and festivals worldwide, the band’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and unrelenting dedication to remaining prolific and vital in the present day.

We blame the curse of womanhood on Eve. The Bible tells us the first woman was tempted by a serpent to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge, thus dooming all of womankind with the pain of menstruation. And it often does feel like cruel and unusual punishment. Those who menstruate spend roughly one week per month doubled over in pain as ferocious cramps rip through our abdomens, followed by several days of uncontrollable bleeding and skyrocketing hormones. Although periods vary wildly from person to person and evolve over the course of a lifetime, there’s little most of us wouldn’t do to avoid the phenomenon entirely. Many horror creators have tackled menstruation, but few as effectively as John Fawcett . His 2000 film Ginger Snaps explores the power and...

Timbaland and Metro Boomin are sitting in 11th Street Records in Las Vegas one afternoon in July, talking about the difference between a hit and a classic. “You did ‘Bad and Boujee,’ ” Timbaland notes, referring to the 2016 Migos track Metro produced. “That’s a classic.”

Metro offers his own distinction. “There might be a classic that peaks at Number 23, and another song goes Number One,” he notes, “but you can play them both 10 years later, and you might not even want to hear the One.” (For the record, “Bad and...

The Poughkeepsie Tapes is one of the most infamous found footage movies of all time because it seems chillingly real. Urban myths and legends surround The Poughkeepsie Tapes and the story of serial killer Edward Carver. Ever since its 2007 release, rumors have persisted that The Poughkeepsie Tapes are real, and director John Erick Dowdle somehow got a genuine snuff movie put into circulation. Dowdle stoked this reputation by marketing The Poughkeepsie Tapes as being based entirely on real events.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes aren't real, but they are based on true stories. The Poughkeepsie Tapes starts with a police raid on a house in Poughkeepsie, New York, where the disturbing discovery of over 800 videotapes filmed by serial killer Edward Carver.

Anthology films have become synonymous with the expression "mixed bag," as it's incredibly difficult to bring in multiple different directors with distinct voices to create short films and expect there to be an equal level of quality or tone. In my opinion, that's part of the fun. An anthology film gives me the chance to micro-dose an experience of a time gone by, where I'd agonize over VHS box cover art in the hopes that whatever I brought home would become my new favorite movie. If it didn't, that's okay, because I could just move on to the next one. The "V/H/S" films capture that experience, and every so often, a segment transcends its place within the anthology and becomes something singular. There are plenty of "V/H/S" segments that I adore and can watch on repeat without ever tiring, but there will always only be one "Safe Haven.

Scorsese is one of the most acclaimed and influential filmmakers of all time, and he just earned his tenth Academy Award nomination for Best Director for 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon.

Both projects seem to have hit a major roadblock.

According to Variety, Scorsese was planning to film The Life of Jesus and Frank Sinatra biopics back to back starting this year, but both projects have since been delayed indefinitely. The Life of Jesus, which was supposed to be filmed first, would delve into Christ as a divine figure and human. The Life of Jesus was set to...

A new 7-inch vinyl/CD box set collects Motörhead’s latter-era A-side and B-side singles, ranging from 1995 through 2006.

Dubbed We Take No Prisoners: The Singles: 1995 – 2006, the set will arrive on vinyl (nine 7-inch vinyl discs) and as a 2-cd box set, both out October 25th. The track “Shut Your Mouth,” from the band’s 2002 album Hammered, was chosen as the lead single for the collection.

The box set is especially notable for collectors. As mentioned in the band’s press release, 7-inch singles were a dominant format up until the ’90s, when CDs took over. Many of these tracks were released as CD singles at the time, before becoming sought-after collectibles. Not only does this box set return them to print, but most are receiving their first-ever release on 7-inch vinyl.

Among the notable inclusions is Motörhead’s cover of the Sex Pistols “God Save The Queen,” concert favorite and box set lead track “Sacrifice,...

It’s all about Eve on the latest episode of Miami Vice, I mean Bad Monkey.

An excellent storytelling tool is when a series, film, or whatever pokes fun at its plot.

It’s an effective way to relate to the audience and turn a lackluster part into something better than it previously was.

(Courtesy of Apple TV+)

The main thing to remember, though, is that the viewers should be aware of the poking, whereas with Bad Monkey, it isn’t clear if the show takes itself seriously or not.

For a series that feels like nothing is ever really happening, the writers have managed to create a thrilling and funny series that strolls through the plot like a morning walk down the beach.
