She Dances Review: Steve Zahn’s Tender Screenwriting Debut Suffers From Conventionality

Despite some good acting from Zahn, the movie is ultimately too mild to make a strong impact. A major issue is Audrey Zahn’s debut performance, which feels stiff and unnatural compared to her father’s experience. Because the story relies heavily on the painful connection between father and daughter, these scenes often fall flat. She struggles to portray a character who is supposed to be distant from her father, and their tense moments don’t feel believable – she often seems simply indifferent.

The Warner Bros. Merger Changes Everything For Star Trek Movies

As a lifelong cinema fan, I’ve been following the developments at Paramount and now SkyDance closely. Even before the merger was complete, there were whispers about the future of Star Trek, though many rumors never came to fruition. CEO David Ellison kept emphasizing how important Star Trek was to the company, both for TV and big-screen movies. But then, things shifted. He and his partners made a serious play to acquire Warner Bros. – imagine getting access to all those franchises! When it was just Paramount, Star Trek was a cornerstone of their film slate. Now, with Warner Bros. bringing Batman, Lord of the Rings, Godzilla, Harry Potter, and so much more to the table, Roddenberry’s universe doesn’t seem like SkyDance’s surest path to box office success anymore. Considering the history of Star Trek films and how much the movie world is changing, I honestly wonder if SkyDance will even bother making another Star Trek movie again.

Star Trek’s 30th Anniversary In 1996: The Gold Standard

1991 was a big year for Star Trek. It celebrated its 25th anniversary with the release of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, which was the last movie featuring the original cast. They even left their handprints in cement at TCL Chinese Theaters in Hollywood!

New Avengers Leader To Fight an X-Men Foe in Doomsday — Report

Marvel Studios hasn’t confirmed rumors of a fight between Yelena Belova and Mystique in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. The speculation started on X (formerly Twitter) when a user wondered if the two characters would face off, but there’s no official evidence to support this claim.

The Comeback Season-Premiere Recap: The Old Razzle-Dazzle

It’s still early days, but the new season of The Comeback, which premiered after a 12-year wait, seems to be tackling relevant issues in the entertainment world, like anxieties about AI and the power of streaming services. The season opens in 2023 with Val preparing to play Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, and as usual, she’s being followed by cameras. Ella Stiller’s character, Patience, is documenting everything for social media, while Jane is reluctantly filming as a favor to Val – a complicated one, stemming from a $25,000 gift Val gave her years ago. Their dynamic is instantly familiar and enjoyable. However, Jane’s comment that this all feels like a repeat of the previous documentary raises a slight concern. The Comeback has always been known for being innovative, so the season needs to offer something new to stay engaging.

Rooster Recap: If the Shoe Slips

Greg is completely new to this experience, and the show keeps reminding us of that. He’s acting like a typical freshman – feeling homesick, trying to make friends, and stumbling along the way. Luckily, Steve Carell is so likable that his character’s naiveté remains endearing.

DTF St. Louis Recap: Thunder Boys

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about a scene from the show where David Harbour and Jason Bateman sang a phrase together while riding funny bikes. My wife was definitely confused by me randomly shouting “life-insurance physical” all week! The moment happens around the middle of an episode, after Clark and Floyd have bonded during a bike trip focused on wine tasting. They’re trying to get Floyd in shape so he can pass a life insurance medical exam and feel more secure. The episode deals with heavy themes – Floyd talks about his anxieties, his stepson Richard struggles with his mental health and at school, and the family is burdened with debt. As Floyd explains to Clark, after having a bit too much wine, “When you lie down in bed, you feel like your heart’s supposed to rest. Mine just races…like a bird heart.”
