Plot: The life and career of Gene Wilder are remembered by his friends and colleagues.
Review: Gene Wilder was a one-of-a-kind talent. While it seems like he’s mostly remembered these days for playing Willy Wonka (with his performance inspiring Timothee Chalamet’s recent take), there was a lot more to him than just that one film. For one thing, his cinematic partnership with Mel Brooks resulted in three all-time classics: The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Plus, he and Richard Pryor made an iconic mismatched duo in a slew of films (some better than others), while Wilder directed several highly successful films on his own.
In this loving tribute to the late icon, director Ron Frank pulls back the curtain to dip into both Wilder’s creative process and sometimes tragic life. Pulling from an audiobook he recorded of his memoirs, the film is distinguished because Wilder himself tells much of the story.

Following the success of Jonathan Demme's "The Silence of the Lambs" in 1991, Hollywood released an eight-year-long tidal wave of serial killer thrillers, each one pulpier than the last. This was the era of "Seven," "Copycat," "Along Came a Spider," "Jennifer 8," "See No Evil," "Eye of the Beholder," "Sliver," "Knight Moves," and any number of others. Right at the end of the decade came Phillip Noyce's 1999 thriller "The Bone Collector," based on the airport novel by Jeffery Deaver. Deaver's original novel was the first of the long-running Lincoln Rhyme series, a series that saw its 16th installment published in 2023. Lincoln Rhyme, thanks to a spinal accident, could not move his body below his neck, and fought crime from his bed, deducting details, looking at pictures, and relying on his team.
In the film adaptation, Denzel Washington played Lincoln Rhyme and Angelina Jolie played his plucky crime fighting partner Amelia Donaghy.

France’s Asacha Media Group has acquired a majority stake in the U.K.-based factual producer Arrow International Media, the maker of the See No Evil and American Monster series for Investigation Discovery.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition of the controlling interest will be financed with equity provided by existing shareholders of Asacha, including Oaktree Capital Management, and debt financing from Tikehau Capital. The deal also gets Asacha beyond its home base France and continental Europe and deeper into producing more English language factual content via a new division making inroads into the U.S. market.
Asacha, since launching in 2020, focused on non-English-language scripted content for linear and on-demand platforms and with a focus on continental Europe. But the company has also looked to produce reality series, kids’ entertainment, factual programming and documentaries.

European consolidator Asacha Media Group has acquired a majority stake in Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom producer Arrow International Media.
This marks the second UK-based factual group to join Asacha’s ranks following a 2021 deal for Wag Entertainment.
We hear Arrow had been on the block for some time and the deal is likely to value the company in the low eight-figure range. Under terms of the agreement, Arrow bosses Tom Brisley and Iain Pelling will remain as co-Managing Directors, while John Smithson will step back.
Brisley and Pelling will retain a minority stake in Arrow, similar to the structure of Asacha’s previous acquisitions. Brisley will become an Asacha shareholder, alongside the business’ founders and other subsidiary bosses. Smithson, who previously co-founded Darlow Smithson Productions, will deliver his current projects and then work independently, with Arrow and Asacha having a first look at his new projects.

“Barbie” is a box office smash, along with its acclaim from critics and audiences alike. If you follow the social media chatter and the general feeling from most pundits, it could be a viable awards contender for Warner Bros. One category being debated is where the screenplay by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach would be able to compete — whether in original or adapted screenplay. The answer lies in how the WGA classifies it and whether the Academy could or would overrule that choice.
Variety confirms there are ongoing conversations with strategists and Warner Bros regarding where “Barbie” would compete at next year’s ceremony.
On the title cards, it reads “Based on ‘Barbie’ by Mattel,” which is, of course, a toy company. At the same time, there have been multiple CGI films and TV series featuring the fashion doll since its debut in the late 1980s (42 to be precise). This...

Papa Emeritus IV and Swedish heavy metal act Ghost blasphemously celebrated Easter Sunday with a surprise cover of Genesis’ 1992 single “Jesus He Knows Me.”
Fitting for a song that spoofs televangelism, Ghost paired their rendition with an Alex Ross Perry-directed, age-restricted video featuring the duplicitous Father Jim DeFroque who — after delivering his sermon — goes on an all-night party binge complete with multiple drug runs, encounters with sex workers, and other frowned-upon activities.
“We wish to inform you that one person’s beauty is another’s blasphemy…,” Ghost said of the video.

When you think of Hollywood’s great on-screen comedy duos, some obvious choices come to mind, like Abbott & Costello or Laurel & Hardy. But for film fans who grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, there was another duo that was just as potent: Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. With impeccable comic timing and the kind of chemistry that can only happen naturally, Wilder and Pryor were always fun to watch, even when they were working with subpar material. Of course, when they were working with a great script — like they did with Silver Streak — the result was one of the all-time classic comedies, one which made the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 funniest films ever made. Before his death, Wilder talked to us about his collaborations with Pryor and the magic that resulted when they worked together. (Click on the media bar below to hear Richard Pryor) https://www.

Over a decade ago, Kane went totally mental in a roundabout way to promote the movie See No Evil. This is his story.
A great thing about being a wrestling fan is that when it comes to quality, you can have it both ways and have a great time. Sometimes, the bad is just as enjoyable as the good. Sure, seeing them get it right and tell a good story with some amazing in-ring work can make it all seem worth it, but seeing a company completely trip over its own two feet is also rewarding. Wrestling is absurd as is, both on the screen and off, so seeing things go completely Dadaist can be very welcome.
That said, bad wrestling stuff is even more surreal when you string a bunch of it together. Like there was a year-plus storyline involving the Undertaker in the mid-90s that included Leslie Nielson,...
