Two years later, Cineverse took up distribution of “The Toxic Avenger” in January. Macon Blair, the director, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the team behind the movie for their unwavering support during the search for a suitable distributor. In a statement, he was quoted by Variety as saying, “It’s awesome that people will finally get to watch this in theaters; it’s a lively, raucous film best enjoyed with a crowd.” Here’s all you need to know about the release of what was once an unreleaseable movie.

The Buckleys are already dealing with enough tension before Grady arrives, seemingly confirming their joint business venture. Earlier in the day, an unexpected guest, DEA agent Marcus Sanchez, appeared. Determined about this case, Marcus suspects the Buckleys’ involvement in Clyde Porter’s death and tracks it down to a trail camera on Clyde’s property. As a result, he has video evidence of Harlan and Belle at the crime scene. Instead of arresting Harlan, Marcus proposes a deal: he will destroy the footage if Harlan reveals his supplier’s name. However, Harlan isn’t interested in this offer as he doesn’t trust the DEA, and he fears Grady might betray him too.

Evidence continues to mount that Belle seems to take great pleasure in leading a criminal organization. The shift in Belle and Harlan’s relationship occurs following their joint effort to disguise the sheriff’s death, which they accomplished by hiding his body under a Chevy Chevelle after it was crushed by the vehicle. It’s like watching a man’s skull get squashed under his car after moving his lifeless body, making it appear as an accident. I personally found the sound of Clyde Porter’s body being crushed (for those who haven’t experienced Netflix’s closed captions yet, I highly recommend giving it a try) to be nauseating; Belle, on the other hand, seemed to find it arousing. After all, everyone has their peculiar tastes, but I do find it intriguing that The Waterfront insists on denying that Harlan and Belle are essentially two cunning psychopaths roaming Havenport.

Georgiou, who was known as “the mysterious British man” in the villa, faced challenges from the beginning: He made an early impression but struggled to sustain interest. When he caught feelings for Fields, they seemed to be one of the most promising couples of the season, appearing more reasonable than Jeremiah and Huda, and more open with their communication compared to Ace and Bissainthe. However, America couldn’t help but notice Fields’ connection with Garcia, a situation that was already difficult without the betrayal from Georgiou’s fellow Islanders. During our recent Zoom chat, Georgiou hadn’t yet been given access to his phone or watched the entire season. “I’ve seen snippets,” he shared, “but honestly, I don’t really want to watch it right now. It’s tough to see her moving forward with someone else. It’s not a pleasant feeling. I don’t think anyone would enjoy watching someone they had feelings for continue with someone else.

Similar to “28 Days Later,” the 2002 collaboration between director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, “28 Years Later” is filled with vivid and lasting visuals: an abandoned Shell gas station with the “S” charred beyond recognition, a tower of human skulls shaped like a cone surrounded by trees bare of leaves but covered in bones. In revisiting the world ravaged by the rage virus from the original film, the duo have crafted a complex and layered universe that is at times grotesque, at times breathtaking, and frequently bothersomely beautiful. They have also introduced a zombie character who is notably endowed in the area of anatomy that’s the focus of attention in every one of his scenes.

To delve into the contemporary aspects of matchmaking and understand its professional implications, we reached out to a real-life matchmaker, Gabi, who operates primarily online from upstate New York. Following her early pregnancy during the pandemic, she trained under a seasoned matchmaker named Rachel Russo, who conducts sessions over Zoom for aspiring matchmakers. Today, Gabi works independently as a matchmaker, symbolizing a trend in the industry moving away from corporate agencies and toward a more personalized approach. We discussed various topics such as handling first dates, client education, and how modern matchmaking has evolved beyond the model presented in the film “Materialists”.

As a dedicated fan of the silver screen, I find myself sharing a heavy burden these days. A man named Dixon, who’s made quite an impression on Perry’s show “The Oval,” has filed a lawsuit in LA this month. The suit alleges sexual and work harassment, sexual battery, assault, and other claims, with a staggering demand for $260 million in damages.

Dixon claims that Perry took notice of him at a studio party back in September 2019. When he expressed his aspiration to act, Perry offered encouragement and eventually cast him in not one, but two shows: “The Oval” on BET and the spinoff “Ruthless” on BET+. In these roles, Dixon portrayed a gay, homeless, and desperate store clerk who was forced into intimate situations with another character for shelter.

Discussing the chaotic final scenes of “28 Years Later” requires revisiting its early parts. The movie begins in Scotland’s Highlands at the onset of the rage-virus pandemic, with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland revisiting the themes from their 2002 collaboration, “28 Days Later.” A family is seen in front of Teletubbies, trying to fend off the approaching zombie horde – although these films don’t refer to the infected as ‘zombies’, we can understand that here. However, their home gets overrun, and only one child, Jimmy (Rocco Haynes), survives by fleeing to a church in search of his preacher father (Sandy Batchelor). Sadly, Dad isn’t interested in saving Jimmy; he sees the rage apocalypse as the day of judgment, and he embraces the coming of the new zombie rulers. Jimmy manages to hide, witnessing in horror as his father gets infected.

Due to his long-lasting mainstream appeal (and the numerous blockbuster directors whose careers he’s influenced), Steven Spielberg isn’t always given the recognition he deserves, being dismissed in certain circles as merely a “commercial” filmmaker lacking the artistic depth of a true artist. However, this is false. While he’s certainly had his share of flops, Spielberg has consistently pushed himself, exploring various genres and themes throughout his career. Here’s our list ranking all 34 of his feature films.
