Vertigo (June 1) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93% Credit – Paramount Pictures

Vertigo is a psychological thriller drama film directed by Alfred Hitchcock from a screenplay co-written by Alec Coppel and Samuel Taylor. Based on the 1954 French novel D’entre les morts by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, the 1958 film follows John, a former police detective who retired...

The original Indiana Jones trilogy that ran from 1981 to 1989 is without a doubt one of the most entertaining, well-written and greatly-executed works of cinema ever. With its incredible set pieces, direction, iconic sequences and brilliant Harrison Ford performance, the original trilogy effectively told a story like no other. In 2008, a fourth Indiana Jones movie was finally made called Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas all involved once again. There was a lot of excitement around Indy's return even if the film itself didn't live up to expectations.

What some fans may not realize is that there were plans to continue the Indiana Jones series in the 1990s after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989. The planned sequels would have looked to continue Indy's story after the events of The Last Crusade and possibly explore other periods of...

Even in its most buoyant moments, Stephen Frears’s The Grifters retains a palpable, stifling air of desperation and moral rot. The trio of grifters at the center of the 1990 crime thriller are introduced via a visual triptych, in which each of them are donning designer sunglasses and a slick outfit as they ready themselves for their respective cons. But despite their suave appearances, these schemers—Lilly (Anjelica Huston), Roy (John Cuscack), and Myra (Annette Bening)—aren’t living large.

There are no obscenely rich marks, no luxurious locales, no big score that’ll allow them to sail off into the sunset. No, while Lilly skims a little off the top of her employer’s winnings at a horse racetrack, Roy heads to a dive bar for a money swap that nets him a whopping $10 and Myra seduces a jewelry shop owner. Roy later works a similar scam that earns...

This era of cinema, successful both critically and commercially, has become an integrated part of modern culture. Movies being made now strive to match the standard set by movies made in this decade.

The 1957 classic Western 3:10 to Yuma starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin is headed to Tubi on Dec. 1 for audiences to stream for free. Heflin stars as a poor rancher named Dan Evans who is hired by a stagecoach line to put the outlaw Ben Wade on the 3:10 train to Yuma while Wades gang tries desperately to free him.

The original film, directed by Delmer Daves, which inspired a 2007 remake starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, focuses on a working-class protagonist in the late 1800s, as opposed to the typical outlaw or lawman in traditional Western movies of the day. The 2007 film has been regarded by some as the greatest remake of a Western movie.

The Treasure of Sierra Madre remains one of the most influential Westerns of all time almost a century after it initially debuted.

Psychological horror possesses a unique ability to infiltrate viewers' minds, using subtle dread and mental manipulation in place of classic jump scares. While modern films continue to explore similar themes, some of the most disturbing psychological horror films from before the year 2000 remain deeply haunting folk horror movies or films devoid of classic monsters. This proves that true terror often stems from psychological torment and suspense rather than outlandish visual effects or gore.

By focusing on everything from twisted family relationships to mounting paranoia, these titles laid the foundation for some of the best psychological horror movies, showcasing a staying power that keeps them relevant decades later. Through skilled direction, compelling performances, and themes tapping into basic human fears, they unsettle audiences as effectively today as they did when they were released. Although contemporary horror reflects their influence, these originals, and often cult horror movies, retain a distinctive potency that hasnt yet faded.

It seems as though great Westerns were made in droves during the classical Hollywood era. More recently, masterful contemporary Westerns seem less common. There's been a gem here and there with films like Tombstone, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood and Django Unchained. However, they often seem far and few between in more recent Hollywood filmmaking. All of these films have the same things in common: they are wholly original concepts that reflect the visions of their directors.

What's even less common is for a remake to resonate as much as or more than the classical Hollywood original. Yet, that's exactly what happened when James Mangold helmed a Western gem in 2007. While the original 3:10 to Yuma from 1957 is a forever classic, the 2007 remake is a deeper construction of one of the great morality tales ever.

Steven Spielberg only had this James Bond actor in mind to play the father of Indiana Jones, Henry Jones, in the third Indy film, The Last Crusade. George Lucas imagined Laurence Olivier for the role, which was initially written to be a more serious one. However, Spielberg wanted to cast Sean Connery in the role and try to outdo his James Bond role.

Connery was initially hesitant to take on the role as he was done with franchise roles after the 007 stint. He signed on to the film after Spielberg agreed to make his character a match for his son. Connery even went on to do a famous ad-lib that was hilarious and a little disturbing at the same time.

Steven Spielberg Insisted On Bringing One James Bond Actor To Indiana Jones...

Spielberg creates unforgettable villains, from sadistic Nazis to monstrous sharks, adding layers of darkness to his iconic films. The evil in his villains ranges from human cruelty to primal instincts, showcasing a variety of malevolent forces in his movies. Whether it's a twisted Nazi officer or a ghostly preacher, Spielberg's villains are memorable, sinister, and add depth to his narratives.

Stephen Spielberg is responsible for creating some of the most iconic movie characters of all time, including some truly reprehensible villains. One of the most famous directors, producers, and writers of all time, Stephen Spielberg's movies run the gamut of tone, style, and genre, from heartwarming family-friendly adventures to haunting historical dramas. Thanks to this variety in his body of work, Spielberg has been able to come up with some of the most unique and memorable movie villains ever.

In many cases, Spielberg keeps his antagonists memorable by crafting some truly vile characters.

Band of Brothers cast includes Tom Hardy, Jimmy Fallon, and many familiar actors playing real WWII soldiers. The series is based on the book by Stephen E. Ambrose and follows Easy Company through the major events of WWII. Despite some creative liberties, the show is known for its authenticity and remains one of the greatest TV shows ever made.

From Tom Hardy to Jimmy Fallon, the cast of Band of Brothers is packed with familiar actors in both major and minor roles. It has been over 20 years since the HBO World War II miniseries, based on the book of the same name by Stephen A. Ambrose, originally aired. Despite the time that has passed, the show regularly still lands on lists of the greatest-ever TV series. Band of Brothers follows E Company, a group of paratroopers within the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, from their early days of training...

Fullmetal Alchemist’s Hiromu Arakawa, one of the greatest manga creators of all time, has never shied away from expressing her love for George Lucas’ Star Wars franchise. She has talked about it multiple times, but what Fullmetal Alchemist’s fans don’t know is that Arakawa is also a fan of another Lucas franchise that features Harrison Ford as the main character.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009) | Bones Inc.

While Arakawa has been a supporter of Indiana Jones, there is one particular actor from the series that she has been a follower of for a long time. This actor is none other than Sean Connery, the famous James Bond actor who also plays Henry Jones, Sr., a Scottish professor of medieval literature and the father of Indiana Jones in the movie.

Although Arakawa expressed her love for Sean Connery in Indiana Jones, she might have just done more than that. There...

Original 9 to 5 stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin open up about Jennifer Aniston's upcoming remake. Say the film is "a hard nut to crack."

Per Variety, Fonda and Tomlin discussed the "reimagining" of 9 to 5 being produced by Aniston's Echo Films for 20th Century Studios. The statements came during the Hollywood premiere of Still Working 9 to 5, a documentary about the film and the impact it had on the evolution of women's rights in modern workplaces. While speaking to Variety, Tomlin said she hopes Aniston "has great success." Tomlin added, "It's a hard nut to crack because the issues are somewhat different."

One of the most important and "un-American" Westerns of the 1950s is finally making its way to Prime Video for streaming.

A quarter-century ago, audiences thought they said "goodbye" to Indiana Jones with the third movie. Yet, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the supposed trilogy finale, wasn't the end. Whether audiences wish it was or if they appreciate the succeeding films, there is no denying that Henry Jones Junior's (Harrison Ford) quest for the Holy Grail was the zenith for the iconic hero created by George Lucas and brought to life by Steven Spielberg. With the return of familiar faces and villains, along with the introduction of two new ones, the film marked the Indiana Jones movies' transformation into a full-fledged universe.

If the second film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, was technically a prequel, the third film was a direct sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Last Crusade was also supposed to be Indiana Jones' swan song, because successful film universes didn't really go beyond trilogies,...

When you think of Sean Connery, you probably think of either James Bond or Indiana Jones' dad. If you grew up in the '90s you might even think of that movie where he was on a submarine, or vaguely recall the marketing for a film where he played opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones. But there's no doubt that long before Connery was advising the "Hunt for Red October" director to rewrite the film's script, or complaining about "Entrapment" having too many special effects, he was best known as either England's greatest spy or as Dr. Henry Jones, Sr.

Still, when it comes to an actor as talented as Connery, not everyone thinks of these roles as his best. If you ask Christopher Nolan, for instance, he'll tell you that the Scottish star's finest performance came in Sidney Lumet's 1973 crime drama "The Offence," with Nolan recently celebrating the film for containing...

The year was 1973; George Lucas had just finished writing the screenplay for what would be his hit coming-of-age story American Graffiti. A poster on a wall caught his eye, an image of a dream of the old serialized films he enjoyed as a child. Films such as Buck Rogers, Zorro’s Fighting Legion and Spy Smasher flashed through his brain as he had the idea of bringing that type of B-level hero to the big screen. He would take this idea and flesh out a story of a college professor who moonlit as an archeologist adventurer. Little did he know that simple idea would yield one of the greatest and most enduring franchises in movie history as his character Indiana Jones has gone on to appear in five feature films over the course of 42 years that have grossed nearly $2 billion at the worldwide box office. For many, any time the character graces the screen,...

Black-and-white Westerns showcase timeless stories, iconic stars, and beautiful imagery with historical and cultural significance. Directors like John Ford crafted classics like 'My Darling Clementine' that delved into Old West legends with depth and respect. Unique films like 'Dead Man' in 1995 continued the black-and-white tradition, offering new perspectives on Western themes.

The Western genre of filmmaking was full of so many incredible black-and-white movies that showcased the enthralling stories of cowboys, gunslingers, and outlaws. While many Western movies have utilized the power of color to showcase beautiful depictions of scenic landscapes as a highly picturesque view of America was presented onscreen, plenty more have traded color for the effective impact of black-and-white filmmaking. While this was a necessity in the early days of Hollywood, as color took over as the primary style of moviemaking, black-and-white films became a more intentional stylistic choice.

With the release of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" in 2023, Lucasfilm and Hasbro took advantage of the titular adventurer's return to dig back into the history of the beloved franchise with a new collection of toys. Hasbro's Adventure Series action figures would finally give us the detailed yet affordable collectible versions of the characters we've loved in (almost) all of the "Indiana Jones" movies, from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Temple of Doom" to "The Last Crusade."

After the first wave threw it back to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the second wave dug into "Temple of Doom" with a little bit of "Dial of Destiny," the third and seemingly final wave of Indiana Jones Adventure Series action figures arrived at "The Last Crusade" and included a couple more "Dial of Destiny" figures for good measure.

Sean Connery was chosen to play Indiana Jones' father, Henry Jones Sr., in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade because of his iconic performance as James Bond. Connery's portrayal of Henry Jones Sr. steals the show, as he perfectly embodies the character's goofy and clumsy nature while still hinting at his Bond-esque charisma. Connery turned down a role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because it wasn't big enough, although he later admitted to enjoying the film.

Sean Connery plays Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Steven Spielberg revealed why Connery was chosen to play the archeologist's father. The third Indiana Jones movie was a return to form following Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which was considered way too dark when it was originally released in 1984. The 1989 threequel returned to the fun tone of Raiders of the Lost Ark,...

Special effects legend Mike Dawson reveals that Sean Connery got angry with him on the set of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade while filming the tank action scene. Dawson had the job of dispersing hot, oil-based smoke inside the tank, and Connery told him: "If you put that anywhere near me again, I’ll shove it up your ass." The Indiana Jones franchise has featured a number of memorable supporting characters, but Connery's Professor Henry Jones might just be the best due to Ford and Connery's strong chemistry.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's special effects technician, Mike Dawson, recalls the late Sean Connery becoming angry with him during one of the movie's action scenes. Released in 1989, Steven Spielberg's third movie in the action adventure franchise sees Harrison Ford return as the intrepid archaeologist once more, this time to quest after the Holy Grail. The Indiana Jones...

The casting of Sean Connery as Indiana Jones' father was essential to the central theme of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and proved to be a genius choice. Harrison Ford's portrayal of Indiana Jones allowed for character development and revealed more of Indy's personality and history, unlike in previous installments. Denholm Elliott's character, Marcus Brody, provided comic relief and served as a reliable sidekick for Indiana Jones, appearing in several films following The Last Crusade.

The Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade cast featured both familiar faces and actors new to the iconic action-adventure franchise. The sequel to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the movie marked a return to form for the series by taking a more lighthearted approach. Director Steven Spielberg and creator George Lucas went through multiple treatments, pitches, and scripts for the film before finally settling on what would become the...

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's banter between Indy and his father sets it apart from the rest of the franchise, turning it into a buddy movie and highlighting their comedic skills and timing. Sean Connery improvised a hilarious line in the film, showcasing his comedic abilities and leaving the crew in stitches. Casting Connery as Henry Jones Sr. allowed his character to inherit the charisma of James Bond, creating a perfect tribute to the iconic secret agent. The film's enduring success is also attributed to the heartfelt bond between father and son showcased through their humorous exchanges.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's funniest joke was completely improvised. Thanks to the vaudevillian tag team of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his father, Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery), the movie is one of the most comedic in the franchise as they continue to banter throughout their search for the Holy Grail.

Saves. Why’d it have to be saves? Indiana Jones may be getting a brand new video game in the near future…wonder if it will be more fun for fans than Dial of Destiny?

Todd Howard, director at Bethesda Game Studios – best known for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games – appears to be actively moving forward with an Indiana Jones video game. He recently expressed his love of the series to Esquire, saying there is so much potential for stories and adventure in the medium. “It can be brought to video games in a unique way…The game is obviously: you’re exploring stuff. It’s about him. So if you’re playing the game, how do you feel that you are indeed playing versus just watching?” While Howard seems locked to secrecy, he did tease that more information could be coming “next year.” This wouldn’t necessarily mean...

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade made the brilliant decision of introducing Indy's father Henry Jones Sr. to the mix. Henry helped his son chase after the Holy Grail and keep it out of the Nazis' hands. Along the way, they rediscover their relationship and address how they became estranged in the first place. Henry Jones Sr. was played by legendary actor Sean Connery, and his chemistry with Harrison Ford was easily one of the best elements of the entire franchise.

The backbone of the film was the father/son story that the two characters shared. It certainly showed a new side of Indiana Jones that viewers did not see in the first two films. The Jones men appeared to be vastly different people but were very alike in many more ways than they were willing to admit. Throughout the film, the characters realize how important they are to...

Picture if you will, a world in which someone would say no to Steven Spielberg. After all, the guy changed cinema with 1975’s Jaws, creating the summer blockbuster, earning tons of money, and getting a Best Director nomination. But that’s exactly what happened, several times when Spielberg begged producer Cubby Broccoli to let him make a movie about his childhood hero, James Bond. But after numerous rejections, Spielberg’s best bud George Lucas came to him with another idea: a movie about an adventurer called Indiana Jones.

Spielberg’s James Bond Mission

It’s no surprise that Spielberg loves James Bond. As anyone who saw The Fabelmans can tell you, the director developed his remarkable cinematic sense not by going to film school but by replicating the images of movies he saw at the local suburban theaters. And few movies of that formative era were bigger in the minds...

Few movie stars ever reach the global icon status that Sean Connery enjoyed. In his youth he was the face of arguably the first modern film franchise, James Bond. The experience took him around the globe and laid the groundwork for a career where even into his 60s, no less than Steven Spielberg would say Connery remained one of “only seven genuine movie stars in the world today.” His roles are the stuff of legend: Bond, Jimmy Malone, Professor Henry Jones, Major General Urquhart, Robin Hood, and many more.

Yet few folks ever talk about the last cinematic role of his career, the classic literary character Allan Quartermain, nor do they mention the misbegotten comic book movie it was attached to, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. An adaptation of a respected Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill comic book series, and a film that leaned into Connery’s history as a...

With Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in theatres and playing to divisive audience reactions and less spectacular than expected box office, we thought now would be the time to do our definitive ranking of the Indiana Jones films. Of course, these rankings are just our opinions, so if you disagree – and many of you probably do – make sure to hit us up in the comments. Time to let er’ rip!

5 – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Some of you reading this probably think I’m crazy. Am I actually saying Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is better than Dial of Destiny? Here’s the thing – some parts of Crystal Skull are worse than anything in Dial of Destiny. There’s nothing horrifically embarrassing in this movie, but the thing is, there’s nothing terribly memorable, either. The action is bland, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge,...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny brings the long-running adventure franchise to an end, but it wasn't the original ending that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had in mind. 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was in fact the conclusion of the original trilogy of films, bringing the franchise to an end for over two decades.

While the fourth and fifth Indiana Jones films have their merits, neither has quite lived up to their original predecessors. As such, there are several reasons that The Last Crusade remains the best conclusion to the Indiana Jones movies.

The Last Crusade Is A Happier Ending

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade may not be the final project in the franchise, but it is certainly a happier ending than more recent installments. The trilogy-ending film had little finality to its conclusion but left...

The Indiana Jones franchise has the unique luxury of each movie covering different points in Indiana Jones' life. Whether it's 1925 or just after the moon landing, he's seen the growth of the world in ways few have. But even still, not much was known about the iconic adventurer until Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In the final movie of the trilogy, audiences finally got some backstory on Indy by offering an origin that has become the best one of the genre and cinema as a whole.

Origin stories have been around for as long as franchises, and while some stories may not have seemed like origins at first, like Universal Picture's The Wolf Man, they served as the beginning of a larger journey. The Last Crusade chose to instead break the mold of the origin story, and rather than tell the story throughout the movie, it did so in its opening minutes.

Warning: Major Spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny below!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny bade farewell to its whip-toting archaeologist, but the franchise can still continue even without Harrison Ford. Since 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ford has been winning over audiences with his intercontinental adventures as Indiana Jones. But with the ending of The Dial of Destiny offering him a moment to hang his hat and retire, Ford’s Indy has finally ridden off into the sunset. With Disney and Lucasfilm indulging in numerous spinoffs for both theatrical and streaming distribution, however, the possibilities of canonical additions still persist.

Committed Indiana Jones aficionados would even know of the existence of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, a two-season TV series that chronicles the adolescent adventures of the hero. While the ABC show faded into oblivion, such chapters can very well be reimagined now that...

With the release of Harrison Ford’s final Indiana Jones film, The Dial of Destiny, the saga is officially over. But before we put all five movies in a museum, let’s take a look back. Below, The Hollywood Reporter ranks Dr. Jones’ adventures from the worst to the best. It’s a franchise that helped define the summer blockbuster and represented some of the best work of creators George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Ford — who will probably be forever more closely identified with his intrepid archaeologist than any other character from his career.

But since we’re starting at the bottom, that can only mean that we must first discuss…

The post Movie Reviews: “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken,” “Nimona” appeared first on Manny the Movie Guy.

Indy's nickname in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has a sad meaning behind it. The third chapter of the Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade follows Indy (Harrison Ford) on his quest to rescue his father Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery) from the Nazis, with Henry being close to uncovering the location of the Holy Grail. While the race to find the Holy Grail forms the plot of the movie, Indy's reunion with his long estranged father Henry is the real story of The Last Crusade.

Throughout The Last Crusade, Henry refers to Indy by the name "Junior", a shorthand for Indy's real name of Henry Jones Jr. Being called Junior by his father annoys Indy to no end, but it goes far deeper than Indy simply not liking the name and preferring Indiana, a name he took from his childhood dog. Indy's vexation at being...

Indiana Jones has had numerous romances in the Indiana Jones franchise, but they consistently either fail or face considerable difficulties. Indy's return to adventure in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a fond-farewell to Harrison Ford's iconic archeologist, but Indy's adventures also have another side to them. Romance is also a factor in his escapades.

Throughout the Indiana Jones franchise, Indy has had major romances with Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw), and Dr. Elsa Schneider (Allison Doody). Indy's romances with Willie and Elsa both failed, while he would eventually go on to marry Marion in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. However, while each of Indy's major romances are unique, all three show some common characteristics that demonstrate why Indy's romances seldom last, and encounter great challenges when they do.

Film fans and the entire Hollywood community lost a giant in the acting world when River Phoenix tragically passed away on Halloween night in 1993. Fortunately, he left behind some incredible performances that ensure his legacy will live on for years to come. One of his most enduring roles came in 1989 when Phoenix portrayed a young version of Harrison Ford in the thrilling opening sequence to "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." If the Shanghai sequence at Club Obi Wan in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" is Spielberg's homage to James Bond, the "Last Crusade" opening adventure shows the visionary director's love for classic Westerns. It's Spielberg at his absolute best, propelling the entire movie forward while also giving Indy fans a fun backstory that could have been an entire movie on its own.

Phoenix is never doing a straight up impression of Ford but the similarities between the two are undeniable.

François Truffaut goes deep and morbid adapting a Henry James story about a man who chooses to ‘devote himself to his beloved dead.’ He builds an altar-shrine to a departed bride and comrades that didn’t survive the Great War. A sympathetic woman considers aiding him, but his obsession keeps choosing life-negating directions. It’s a weird, morbid but highly understandable tale from the edge of the fantastic. The cinematographer is Néstor Almendros; the film is part of a 4-title François Truffaut Collection.

Waiting for the Stars to Align: Chiha Finds Fruit Rotting on the Vine

“Good things come to those who wait” might be a commonly bastardized idiom we’re accustomed to hearing, but the wisdom from any random fortune cookie will tell you waiting for a perfect moment means all moments are destined to pass you by. Patric Chiha examines a hyperbolic instance of such a predicament with his latest film La Bête dans la jungle (The Beast in the Jungle), freely adapted from the 1903 novella by Henry James. Reuniting with Beatrice Dalle, who headlined his 2009 debut Domain, Chiha transposes the verbosity of James into a metaphorical Parisian club scene spanning twenty-five years.…...

The 21 new Panorama titles also include France-based Austrian director Patric Chiha’s The Beast In The Jungle.

A contemporary adaptation of Henry James’s 1903 novella of the same name, the drama follows a man and woman who frequent a huge nightclub for 25 years in anticipation of a mysterious event.

In Lila Neugebauer’s feature film debut Causeway, Jennifer Lawrence plays Lynsey, a veteran returning to her hometown from time served in Afghanistan after suffering a traumatic brain injury. While home, she meets James (Brian Tyree Henry), an amputee car mechanic facing his own journey through grief, and the two strike up a friendship.

Shooting commenced in New Orleans in the summer of 2019, but was put on pause due to inclement weather, and again because of Covid. A second phase of filmmaking began in 2021, after Lawrence, Henry, Neugebauer, and the film’s writers and producers had a chance to reassess where they wanted to center their story, cutting out all the already-shot Afghanistan flashback scenes and instead expanding the James character greatly, focusing on the budding relationship between the pair. What resulted is the film as it is today: A story of two...

This post contains spoilers for "The Fabelmans" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

With his semi-autobiographical film, "The Fabelmans," our beloved master of the modern American blockbuster, Steven Spielberg, has reached the pinnacle of self-reflection over his career. Spielberg has always had a gift for capturing the most personal and intimate essences of his life in his films, from the fraught family dynamics portrayed in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," to his version of "West Side Story" fashioned from the memories of watching the original with his late father.

Spielberg is as sentimental as they come, but his dreamy depiction of his coming-of-age in "The Fabelmans" reaches new levels of personal for the filmmaker. Through the fictionalized Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel Labelle), we get to see Spielberg demystify himself and reveal his cinematic roots. Most importantly, through Burt (Paul Dano) and Mitzi Fabelman (Michelle Williams...

Lucasfilm has finally unveiled the trailer for Indiana Jones’ fifth adventure. The tantalizing teaser revealed the title of the movie – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny – alongside a handful of other exciting reveals. Director James Mangold seems to have masterfully recaptured the pulpy action-adventure magic of Steven Spielberg’s original movies.

From the old-school action to the flawless digital de-aging effects to Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s role as Indy’s wisecracking sidekick, the Dial of Destiny trailer is full of big revelations about the upcoming movie.

The Title

Until the trailer arrived, the fifth Indy movie was simply known as Indiana Jones 5. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has been rumored to be the movie’s title for a while, but the trailer confirms it as the official moniker.

While “Dial” might not be as grabby or eye-catching as buzzwords like “Temple” and “Kingdom,” the title has a nice...

Following the release of the darker and more intense "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," Director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas would take a step back and go back to basics with the third installment in the series. The end result is "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," a film reminiscent in its tone and sense of adventure to "Raiders of the Lost Ark." One key difference, though, would be that Indy wouldn't be going it alone. Instead, "Last Crusade" featured the introduction of another Dr. Jones, that being Indy's father, Henry, played by the legendary Sean Connery. 

Connery's involvement in the franchise would be a full circle moment for Spielberg, as his decision to direct the "Indiana Jones" movies famously stemmed from his desire to make a James Bond film. The resulting chemistry between Ford and Connery as the two Joneses' would make "Last Crusade" an...

Throughout the course of his career, John Carpenter has directed horror movies that have redefined the genre in several ways. His 1978 horror classic, "Halloween" is nothing less than a full-blown pop culture phenomenon, and his lesser-known films, such as "Prince of Darkness," is still being discovered by horror-heads. Carpenter's legacy obviously extends beyond his filmmaking, as he is also a composer with a penchant for creating original soundtracks meant to enhance the source material. Despite being a man of many talents, Carpenter's love for horror seeps into everything he makes, be it hypnotic tales of terror or fast-paced action pieces with horror elements.

So, when exactly did Carpenter discover his affinity towards the genre? The director has been inspired by a string of classic horror writers, as his work has often been adaptations of the works of John W. Campbell, H.P. Lovecraft, and Stephen King. The Lovecraftian influence is evident...

From the many controversial creative choices in Netflix’s Blonde to the hasty script rewrites necessitated when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness switched directors, there have been plenty of theories surrounding the production of this year’s most popular movies. Oftentimes, the rumors and speculation surrounding the making of a movie are more interesting than the movie itself.

Did Sony orchestrate the No Way Home leaks? Was “Ugly Sonic” an intentional part of the marketing campaign? Did Matt Damon and Ben Affleck really write Good Will Hunting? Redditors are convinced by some curious behind-the-scenes movie conspiracy theories.

Sony Orchestrated The No Way Home Leaks To Build Hype

The ambitious crossover team-up of Spider-Man: No Way Home made it one of the most highly anticipated blockbusters in recent memory. While the official trailers kept Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s involvement a secret, various leaked set photos confirmed their return.

Anne Rice's classic gothic romance Interview with the Vampire returned to the small screen to chill and delight, and its premiere caused a huge boost in AMC+'s viewership. Though the original novel set the stage for the spooky romance explosion that was to follow, the new TV series is another in a long line of tantalizing programs.

From long-running TV staples like The Vampire Diaries to horrifying tales like The Haunting o f Bly Manor, plenty of shows mix romance and terror for a perfectly eerie experience. Though paranormal romance is a massive TV sub-genre, only the very best shows capture the same energy as AMC's newest hit.

The Originals (2013-2018) Stream On Netflix

Sharing its setting with Interview with the Vampire, the Vampire Diaries spin-off The Originals further proved that bloodsuckers and New Orleans go together perfectly. The series follows Klaus, the original hybrid of a vampire and werewolf,...
