In the "Star Trek" episode "Miri", the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise beams down to a planet that, quite mysteriously, has the same continental layout as Earth. When Kirk (William Shatner), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Yeoman Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) beam down to investigate, they find a burned-out, post-apocalyptic wasteland. The only survivors are children, and Kirk will eventually learn that all the planet's adults were wiped out by a fatal virus centuries before. The virus also turned the adults mad, and they turned to badgering, hunting, and harming the planet's uninfected children. The children remember this time, and have come to see all adults as sinister and untrustworthy, calling them "grups," short for "grown-ups."

The same virus, as a side effect, also slowed the aging of the children, so they have been kids for over 300 years,...

This April, Netflix is bringing you a lot of entertainment, from the highly anticipated conclusion to the psychological crime thriller drama series You to the brutal Tom Hardy action film Havoc. However, for the purposes of this article, we are only including the films that are coming to Netflix this month and have an 80% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score. So, check out the seven best films that are coming to Netflix in April 2025 with an 80% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

The Age of Innocence (April 1) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88% Credit – Columbia Pictures

The Age of Innocence is a historical romantic drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jay Cocks. Based on the 1920 novel of the same name by Edith Wharton, the 1993 film is set in the 1870s and it follows Newland Archer, a wealthy...

Crime and gangster films have dominated Hollywood for nearly 100 years. These movies have drawn audiences in with stories of organized criminals and the worlds they swim in for almost the entire history of motion pictures.

Though the implementation of the Hays Code in 1934 meant that films were not allowed to show criminal activity without the "bad guys" getting their due, many of the best gangster movies are more than 50 years old. From the boom of crime films in the 1920s with iconic performers like James Cagney to the disillusion with the thrill of a life of crime in the late 1960s and early 1970s, gangster movies have been at the forefront of American cinema.

This Movie Adapted a Classic Tragic Duo Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Arthur Penn

Santa Claus is very much one of the main characters when it comes to the holiday, but some Christmas films feature people who aren't fond of Old St. Nick. Also known as Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and many, many more, the big guy in red has cropped up in many a holiday celebration, and therefore, many a holiday movie. Whether he's the actual Santa from the North Pole, or simply a representation of the idea of the Christmas spirit, his presence is what adds to the magic of the season.

There have been plenty of characters in Christmas films that have ended up on the Naughty List who didn't believe in his existence or refused to embrace the meaning of the holiday. Whether they're robbing houses and stealing presents from right under the tree, or spoiling the fun for everyone around, there are definitely quite a few characters who need...

The 1990s were a special time for creating some weird and downright bizarre films that pushed every boundary imaginable. It was a decade that started seeing a snowball effect in terms of the advancement of technology and techniques of special effects and visuals that helped provide an outlet for the filmmaker's wildest ideas. Before the time of big-budget franchises and endless sequels, studios were more likely to take risks both in terms of films with weird source material and the way the films were shot, which produced some incredible and extremely odd films.

Many of these movies took weirdness to new heights in almost every aspect of cinema to create some intense, thought-provoking, and mind-bending film experiences. Movies like the shocking Freaked, which presented some grotesque characters and haunting sequences, and Harmony Korines Gummo, which provides a unique and mostly horrifying snapshot of small-town America and its inhabitants. Many films...

Listen Carefully: "Haida Street Films and Rbg Films are excited to announce the worldwide VOD debut of Listen Carefully, the latest feature from filmmaker Ryan Barton-Grimley. Barton-Grimley returns to the screen following the 2020 premiere of his previous feature Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers. Listen Carefully made its world premiere at Fantaspoa, the International Fantastic Film Festival of Porto Alegre and its North American premiere at Dances With Films.

The psychological thriller went on to screen at Macabro Mexico City, Fangofest Amposta and Scarefest Weekend, where Barton-Grimley was nominated for Best Actor.

Gangster movies have become a popular sub-genre over the years. The glimpse inside a fast-paced, dangerous world that a lot of people aren't part of is both thrilling and interesting. While it can be more gripping to watch such a movie that is based on real life, others that are total fiction have proven to be just as good. With the right creators, actors and script, gangster movies have the potential to make cinematic history.

The importance of great dialogue can't be underestimated. Not every scene in a gangster movie can be filled with action or violence. Oftentimes, the words can be just as intimidating, particularly when said by the right actor. The creators who have kept this in mind have delivered a stream of incredibly iconic quotes that fans simply cannot get out of their heads.

This story originally ran in an April 1974 issue of Rolling Stone.

In Peru, one kept a daily journal; now Kristofferson bends grinning over its pages, on which, in the winter of ’70, Andes mud spilled and dried like blood spots. “Hell,” he offers rurally, “wouldn’t surprise me none you said it was blood.”

One had gone there to write about the making, or rather, wresting from the soil, of Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie; Kris, totally unknown then, was doing the film’s score. Rain hung over the Andes...

In the "Star Trek" episode "Miri", the Enterprise happens upon a distant planet whose geography, by mysterious coincidence, appears to mirror that of Earth's. The denizens of this parallel Earth appear to be human, although the planet had been nearly wiped out by a mysterious plague. The only survivors are the planet's children; the plague seems to coincide with puberty. The children live in fear of grown-ups -- nicknamed "grups" -- because they were once targeted out of spite by the world's dying adults and, as such, are suspicious of Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and his visiting away team.

Oh yes, and the children are all incredibly long-lived on this planet. The oldest of them appears to be 12, but is, in fact, over 300. Additionally, Kirk -- in a very unsavory twist -- has to use his masculine wiles on the titular 12-year-old Miri in order to convince her that adulthood won't be so bad,...

Al Ruddy, who co-created the famed CBS sitcom Hogan’s Heroes, then captured Academy Awards for producing the best picture winners The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby, has died. He was 94.

Ruddy, also credited as one of the creators of the long-running CBS police drama Walker, Texas Ranger, died Saturday following a brief illness at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, a publicist announced.

On the heels of The Godfather (1972), Ruddy produced another box-office hit with the original The Longest Yard (1974), the prison-set football movie that starred Burt Reynolds. The pair then reteamed for the action road films The Cannonball Run (1981) and its 1984 sequel, both directed by stuntman-turned-helmer Hal Needham.

The personable Ruddy also produced such films as Bad Girls (1994), the first Western with all female leads (Madeleine Stowe, Mary Stuart Masterson, Andie MacDowell and Drew Barrymore); the baseball comedy The Scout (1994), starring Albert Brooks and Brendan Fraser; and Matilda (1978), a comedy...

The 20th anniversary of writer/director Rob Zombie’s feature directorial debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here) came and went last year – but today, Zombie took to social media to announce that he’s celebrating the 21st anniversary of the film by working on a book about the making of it! Zombie also shared multiple behind-the-scenes images, and you can check those out at the bottom of this article.

Zombie wrote, “To celebrate the 21st anniversary of House of 1000 Corpses being released I thought I would give you a sneak peek at the House of 1000 Corpses book that I have been working on. This thing is packed with rare photos, blueprints, storyboards, makeup tests and my original script with all my handwritten notes and sketches. So much stuff for all you Corpse-Heads! Coming your way soon.”

House of 1000 Corpses has the following synopsis: Two young...

In the 1980s, Hollywood didn’t quite know what to do with Rutger Hauer. The actor broke out in a pretty major way following his acclaimed turn in Paul Verhoeven’s Soldier of Orange, paving the way for his American debut in the Sylvester Stallone thriller Nighthawks, where he played the villain Wulfgar. His performance as Roy Batty in Blade Runner blew people away, and for a while, it looked like he might become the next big Hollywood heartthrob, especially when he signed on to star in the epic adventure film Ladyhawke opposite Michelle Pfeiffer for Richard Donner.

But major stardom didn’t happen? Why? Perhaps it was because the movies of Hauer’s that did best at the box office were the ones where he played the villain, such as The Hitcher. He was so unforgettable as a bad guy that when he played a hero, such as in...

The real Bonnie and Clyde may have died in 1933, but the legend of the couple's crime spree lives on in the form of songs, stories, and one groundbreaking movie. Arthur Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde" took Hollywood by storm when it hit theaters in 1967, generating controversy for its on-screen violence and sensuality -- and kick-starting nationwide conversations about who deserves to be the subject of a movie. While film fans still talk about these topics today, the movie's brutal final shootout feels mild compared to modern blood-soaked movie scenes.

Still, "Bonnie and Clyde" is a fantastic film, thanks in large part to its great cast. Warren Beatty plays cocky Clyde Barrow to Faye Dunaway's initially innocent Bonnie Parker, while actors Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, and Estelle Parsons round out the Barrow gang. A young Gene Wilder made his big screen debut as one of Clyde's hostages, while Denver...

2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of writer/director Rob Zombie’s feature debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here), and to celebrate the occasion the folks at Neca have announced that they’ll be releasing new action figures based on the Captain Spaulding and Otis characters! These figures won’t be shipping out until March of 2024 – so actually, in time for the film’s 21st anniversary – but you can already check them out on the Neca website. Captain Spaulding can be found Here and Otis is over Here.

2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of writer/director Rob Zombie’s feature debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here), and today we’re celebrating the film’s anniversary with a video that digs into The Best Scene in the movie! You can check it out in the embed above.

The scene we’ve chosen to feature in this video is the opening sequence that involves Captain Spaulding, brought to life through an iconic performance from Sid Haig, dealing with a pair of dimwitted armed robbers who have come busting into his gas station / murder museum.

By the time American Gothic had come out, horror fans were familiar with the “don’t go in the woods” trope. Trouble was, and still is, expected for anyone who trades city comforts for the great outdoors. John Hough’s 1988 slasher admittedly follows the same path taken by others before it. However, where many of these kinds of movies continue to complete the same old routine, American Gothic takes a delightfully twisted turn that helps it stand out, even after all these years.

With a tagline like “The family that slays together, stays together,” it’s not hard to figure out where American Gothic is heading. The classic poster art, a dark parody of Grant Wood’s famous painting, even puts Yvonne De Carlo and Rod Steiger’s villainous characters front and center. Yet before they show up, viewers first meet Cynthia (Sarah Torgov), the movie’s ostensible Final Girl.

It’s time for a new episode of the Real Slashers video series, and with this one we’re looking back at the 1989 release Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland (watch it Here). You can find out all about it by watching the video embedded above!

Directed by Michael A. Simpson from a screenplay written by Fritz Gordon (a.k.a. Michael Hitchcock), Sleepaway Camp III: Teenage Wasteland started filming three days after Sleepaway Camp 2 wrapped. This one has the following synopsis: Psychotic Angela is itching to do what she does best: slaughter dozens of teenage campers. As luck would have it, the previous site of her murders has been renamed and converted into an experimental summer camp meant to bring together privileged and lower-class teens. On the day the youths are boarding the buses to camp, Angela runs over a potential camper with a garbage truck and assumes her identity.

We took Gene Hackman for granted, and he's making us pay for it.

Between 1964 and 2004, there wasn't a more reliably excellent film actor in the industry. He'd knock out two or three (or more!) movies a year, and even when they were dire propositions — like the Kryptonite-ridden "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" or Bob Clark's laugh-free buddy-cop comedy "Loose Cannons" — you knew Hackman would be present and compelling. He also never went too long between watchable films, so the charge that he was phoning it in (which was also leveled at his prolific contemporary Michael Caine) never made sense.

Hackman was — and, oh, how I hate to refer to this still-very-alive master's career in the past tense — a true working actor. He was grateful for the gigs and took them eagerly. He knew what it was to not only struggle but to be told there is no future...

Back in February, we learned that Lionsgate is giving writer/director Rob Zombie‘s feature debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here) a new Blu-ray release to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary on April 11th.

A couple days ago, writer/director Rob Zombie shared an image from the alternate ending to his feature directorial debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here). An ending that would have shown Sid Haig’s character Captain Spaulding giving a ride to final girl Denise (Erin Daniels) in his Museum of Monsters and Madmen truck. In the film, Spaulding gave Denise a ride in a convertible – and Otis (Bill Moseley) was revealed to be in the backseat. In the deleted ending, Denise would’ve been dragged into the back of the truck by Spaulding’s pal Ravelli (Irwin Keyes). Zombie has now shared another image from the alternate ending that shows Haig and Daniels in the truck, before Ravelli emerges from the back.

Unfortunately, it’s not likely we’ll ever see footage of this alternate ending, because all of the cut scenes were lost while the movie was passed from studio to studio.

The screenplay for Rob Zombie’s feature directorial debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here) can be found online, and is quite different from the film that made it to theatres in 2003. Not only was Grampa Hugo revealed to be Dr. Satan, but there are scenes in the script that were filmed and cut – and Zombie has no access to the footage, as it was lost while the movie was passed from studio to studio. Among the differences is an alternate ending… and Zombie took to Instagram to share a rare still from the film’s original ending! In this image, we see Captain Spaulding’s Museum of Monsters and Madmen truck:

Canada’s isolated countrysides are fertile territory for thrillers like John Trent’s Sunday in the Country where Ernest Borgnine fends off a trio of violent thugs before revealing his own bloodthirsty tendencies. Michael J. Pollard plays the lead psychopath and Hollis McLaren is Borgnine’s granddaughter. Trent wrote the screenplay with Robert Maxwell (TV’s Adventures of Superman!).

The post Sunday in the Country appeared first on Trailers From Hell.

Last year, Trick or Treat Studios released a 5″ tall action figure of the character Captain Spaulding from Rob Zombie‘s feature directorial debut House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here) – and you can purchase the Captain Spaulding figure, which is called the “Finger Lickin’ Pistol Whippin’ Captain Spaulding action figure”, at This Link. Now Trick or Treat Studios is accepting pre-orders for four more House of 1000 Corpses action figures: Showtime Baby Firefly (who is accompanied by Fishboy), Rabbit Roastin’ Otis Driftwood, Rippin’ Axe Professor, and Driller Killer Doctor Satan. These figures can be pre-ordered at This Link.

SAG-AFTRA’s unclaimed residuals fund has grown to roughly $76 million – up 60% from $48 million six years ago. According to the union, the fund now contains 124,000 separate accounts for members and others, living and dead, that it can’t locate. That’s up from 96,000 accounts in 2016.

“The funds may be unclaimed for a variety of reasons including a bad address or as a result of mail returned for other reasons; unresolved estate issues, or the funds may be in trust for an inactive or dissolved loan out corporation,” a spokesperson for the union said. “Most often, residuals may be waiting for a recipient or their agent to formalize a change of address or submit the appropriate paperwork to claim the funds. The union uses a number of tools to locate and get money to those individuals due unclaimed residuals including mail, email and telephone outreach to last known address and telephone number,...

Four of the featured fellows in “The Trial of the Chicago 7” — Sacha Baron Cohen, Frank Langella, Eddie Redmayne and Mark Rylance — made the BAFTAs longlist of 15 contenders for Best Supporting Actor. We are predicting that Cohen, who also reaped Golden Globes and SAG bids, will earn a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination. Rylance, who won this award in 2015 for “Bridge of Spies,” is jockeying for the fifth slot.

Four-time Tony winner Langella and Redmayne, who took home the Best Actor Oscar in 2014 for “The Theory of Everything,” are longer shots than another of the supporting actors in the film: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II makes our Top 10 for his searing portrayal of Bobby Seale.

Since the supporting acting categories were introduced in 1937, 19 films have reaped bids for at least two of their male featured players. As you can see from the list below, it took till the ninth time that this...

Mvd Entertainment Is Proud To Announce The North American High Definition Debut Of The 1992 Sci-fi Action Cult Classic “Split Second” On Blu-ray In An Ultimate Collector’S Edition.

In the year 2008, the cops are better armed than before, but nothing has prepared them for this. Swift, sharp-clawed and deadly, something moves among them on the streets, in the alleyways, on the rooftops, tearing out human hearts and devouring them. Maverick cop “Harley” Stone (Rutger Hauer) lost his partner to the beast, and now it looks like his girlfriend Michelle (Kim Cattrall) is next on the killer’s list. Even in the future, there aren’t guns big enough to stop the creature’s deadly force, but Stone has no choice. Teamed with rookie detective Durkin (Alastair Duncan), Stone must stalk the edge of his own sanity...

Horror lovers and moviegoers of the early 90s will remember seeing the trailer for Split Second, though perhaps they never saw the actual movie itself. Rutger Hauer was at the precipice of his fame, and it seemed like you couldn't walk into a theater throughout 1991 and 1992, to see any given movie, without having to sit through the sci-fi horror alien madness that is this cult favorite. And then, it was also tacked to the front of a bunch of VHS releases. Perhaps missing from some collectors' collections here in 2020, Mvd is making sure you don't go a second longer without this fine piece of celluloid sitting on your shelf. And it comes packed with all-new extras.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, the organization responsible for hosting the Oscars, is explaining why Luke Perry, Cameron Boyce and other stars were left out of the in memoriam tribute during Sunday’s ceremony, citing there was “limited available time.”

“The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars In Memoriam segment. An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes selections for the telecast based on limited available time,” the statement reads, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “All the submissions are included on Oscar.com and will...

Updated with Academy statement: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has responded to complaints about the exclusion of some entertainment figures from its annual In Memoriam segment on Sunday’s Oscar telecast.

“The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars In Memoriam segment,” the organization said in a statement obtained by Deadline. “An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes selections for the telecast based on limited available time. All of the submissions are included on Oscar.com and will remain on the site throughout the year.”

Previously: Kobe Bryant led off the Oscar telecast’s In Memoriam segment and Kirk Douglas was the last film personality it honored.

The annual portion late in the show, introduced this time by Steven Spielberg and accompanied by a rendition of “Yesterday” by Grammy winner Billie Eilish, appeared to avoid major controversy.

So, the Oscars are over for another year. In amongst the various awards, acceptance speeches and musical interludes, the ceremony reflects on those whom we have lost over the past year in the 'In Memoriam' montage that is sure to bring a few tears to your eyes. Sadly, every year what follows is the backlash, as the Oscars are chastised by fans for leaving out several prominent stars who tragically met their end. This year, they forgot to include several significant figures, including Luke Perry, Cameron Boyce, Sid Haig, Jan-Michael Vincent, Tim Conway, and Michael J. Pollard, all of them curiously left out of the proceedings.

Since then, a multitude of fans have taken to social media to air their anger and frustration at leaving them out, with the likes of Luke Perry and Cameron Boyce receiving a lot of support.

"No Luke Perry in the tribute to celebs we...

Luke Perry was not recognized at the 2020 Oscars.

The late actor, who died in March 2019 at age 52, was left out of the in memoriam tribute during the live telecast on Sunday.

The annual segment honors Hollywood notables who’ve died in the past year. Kobe Bryant, Kirk Douglas, Diahann Carroll, Danny Aiello were amongst those highlighted tonight.

Perry’s exclusion is notable considering he appeared in Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, which was nominated for Best Picture. (It was bested by Parasite.)

Other stars who passed away in the past 12 months — but were not included in the tribute — include Cameron Boyce,...

The Academy Awards paid tribute to the actors, actresses, icons and industry stalwarts that have died in 2019 and earlier this year.

Steven Spielberg introduced the in memoriam segment of Sunday’s Oscars ceremony, saying, “This evening, as we celebrate the artistic highlights of the past year, we also pause to remember those from our community who we lost. Legends and icons, our friends and fellow artists. All who inspired and touched us.”

“They have left an indelible imprint on our industry, our imaginations and our understanding of the world,” he said, before Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, launched...

For Sunday’s Oscars 2020 ceremony on ABC, producers had a difficult decision of which film industry people would make the cut and who would unfortunately be left out of the “In Memoriam.” For the segment, for the song “Yesterday” performed by Grammy champ Billie Eilish.
