David Duchovny is synonymous with FBI Agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files. The supernatural thriller series put him and actress Gillian Anderson on the map, and made conspiracies great again. However, the role was not the only agent part played by Duchovny as he played Denise Bryson, the DEA agent in Twin Peaks.

David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is hardly the usual procedural, but Duchovny has never been a part of such stuff. He played the role of a trans DEA agent who helps Kyle MacLachlan’s Dale Cooper in season 2. The part was originally supposed to be played by James Spader, who reportedly created the character as well.

Mubi has acquired David Lynch and Mark Frost’s iconic 1990 series Twin Peaks, along with its 2017 follow-up Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series. The news comes amid Twin Peaks’ 35th anniversary celebration and months after the iconic filmmaker’s passing. Both series will debut on the platform this June. The arrival of the series on the platform provides a brilliant opportunity for fans to revisit Lynch’s surreal, dreamy world or for those who want to experience the beloved series for the very first time.

The original series debuted in the 1990s and follows an investigation led by FBI special agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) into the murder of local teenager Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). The intriguing mystery drama is revered by fans for its detective fiction, supernatural elements and campy feel. The first season of the series has a 78 percent Rotten Tomatoes score while the audience score sits as high as 92 percent.

“We are all Icelanders!”

So proclaimed Jerry (David Patrick Kelly) in the “Cooper’s Dream” episode of the original “Twin Peaks” back in 1990. Like much in writer/director David Lynch’s life and art, it was both exaggeration and truth.

Exhibit A: At Reykjavik’s vibrant Stockfish Film Festival on April 10, a panel titled “David Lynch and Surrealism in Film and Shorts” celebrated the work and worldview of the late auteur, who died January 16 at age 78. The nonprofit Stockfish fest focused its dynamic 11th edition on filmmaking issues relevant to the always-cool city at the top of the world, Reykjavik, as well as highlights of global cinema, and, in a centerpiece of the 10-day festival, a Lynch-a-thon that brought out Icelandic cineastes.

The celebration at Reykjavik’s cozy arthouse theater BioParadis — translated from Icelandic as “Cinema Paradise” — was, to use a phrase the “Mulholland Drive” director loved, a gas.

Drug addiction is a serious problem. Not just in America, but everywhere else too as the large part of the population it is affecting right now is young and brimming with unsurmountable potential. It is depressing to see how opioid addiction has become so rampant that we have declared it an epidemic. Director Spencer Folmar’s “Shooting Heroin” comes from a very worried and somehow personal point of view. However, it is a film so confused between being a story that throws you into a whirlwind of emotional turmoil and a faith-based melodrama that all it manages to become is a brooding, self-serious addiction thriller that is easily forgettable.

Set in a fictional place named Whispering Pines, the film follows single father and war veteran Adam (Alan Powell) who wakes up each day with the news of death in his town. Most of the deaths are either young adults who...

The Batman villain Harley Quinn made her debut on the "Batman: The Animated Series" episodes "Joker's Favor", where she was voiced by actress Arleen Sorkin. The character was envisioned as a clown-like moll for the Joker, and was given a ditzy personality and a broad Noo Yawk accent. She proved to be so popular that she was eventually incorporated into Batman comic books, and soon grew to have titles of her own. Over the years, Harley Quinn has appeared in multiple TV shows and movies, most recently played in live-action by Lady Gaga in "Joker: Folie à Deux." 

Fun trivia: Harley Quinn was actually preceded by a very, very similar character called Prank (Corinne Bohrer), a clown-like moll to a very Joker-like villain named the Trickster (Mark Hamill) on a 1991 episode of "The Flash." Whether or not the makers of "Batman: The Animated Series" were aware of Prank is a matter of speculation.

There have been a few cult classic TV series with the continuous allure of Twin Peaks. The 1990 series was co-created by filmmaker David Lynch and writer Mark Frost and chronicled the mysterious goings-on of a small Pacific Northwest town of the same name after high-schooler Laura Palmer's (Sheryl Lee) untimely demise. The surreal atmosphere of the setting and story is only as good as the eclectic cast that helps bring it to life, though - some of whom can also be easily recognized in other popular TV shows. Kyle Maclachlan, for instance, plays Agent Dale Cooper and can also be seen in Desperate Housewives, Portlandia, and, more recently, Fallout. Then there's Mädchen Amick, who portrays waitress Shelly Johnson and also appears in the largely Twin Peaks-inspired Riverdale as Alice Cooper. But perhaps the most fascinating of them all is Sherilyn Fenn, who not only appears in series such as...

David Lynch, the legend behind Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, passed away at 78. He had become homebound before his death due to health risks from emphysema, a chronic lung condition resulting from his years of smoking. Lynch earlier revealed that he was diagnosed with the condition in 2020 but couldn’t quit smoking until 2022.

Lynch had shared that he ignored the risks of the condition for too long and urged his fans to quit smoking. He shared that he had to depend on supplemental oxygen to get through the day. During the recent California fires, Lynch was evacuated from his home and moved to his daughter’s home, where he spent his final days.

David Lynch...

When it debuted in the spring of 1990, David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks was inarguably the strangest show to have ever been made for American television. It was, simultaneously, a gothic horror story, a murder mystery, a supernatural thriller, a throwback to 1950s soap operas and movie melodramas, and a goofy comedy. Its stories intermingled human-scale nightmares like sex trafficking, drug addiction, domestic abuse, and incestuous rape with demonic possession, psychic visions, and periodic trips to another dimension where a dwarf hung out in a very red room.

Exclusive: David Lynch had a great knack for discovering leading-lady talent, actresses who would ascend to bigger heights. One of those is Lara Flynn Boyle, who played the role of Donna Hayward in Lynch’s early 1990s ABC series Twin Peaks.

“There goes the true Willy Wonka of filmmaking,” the actress said in a statement to Deadline on Thursday following Lynch’s death at age 78. “I feel like I got the golden ticket getting a chance to work with him. He will be greatly missed.”

The arrival of Boyle was declared in an October 1990 Rolling Stone cover she shared with fellow Twin Peaks actress Sherilynn Fenn and Mädchen Amick that heralded “The Women of Twin Peaks.”

Exclusive: The star of David Lynch’s Palme d’Or winning 1990 road trip bender, Wild at Heart, Nicolas Cage tells us that the late filmmaker who died today, “was a singular genius in cinema, one of the greatest artists of this or any time.”

“He was brave, brilliant, and a maverick with a joyful sense of humor,” Cage continues, “I never had more fun on a film set than working with David Lynch. He will always be solid gold.”

In the movie, which was shot in New Orleans and Louisiana, Cage plays an Elvis-like character, Sailor, an ex-con, recently from prison who reunites with the love of his life, Lula, played by Laura Dern, who broke out in Lynch’s Blue Velvet. The problem in their lives remains Lula’s notorious mother (played by Dern’s real life mom Diane Ladd) who sends hitman and detectives on Sailor and Lula...

“Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole,” shared David Lynch’s family while announcing the legendary filmmaker’s demise. Notable for blending noir mysteries with European surrealism, the Twin Peaks creator was diagnosed with emphysema in 2020, which made it difficult for the director to leave his home and return to filmmaking.

Although fans were overjoyed after The Elephant Man director expressed last year that he had no plans to retire, unfortunately, fate had other plans for the American legend, whose contribution to cinema remains unparalleled.

Last year, David Lynch broke his silence on the impact of a lifetime of smoking. While Lynch added he had no intentions to stop rolling the camera, adding that he was feeling great after quitting smoking, unfortunately, the inevitable has ensued.

Thanks to his performance as Johnny Lawrence in "The Karate Kid," William "Billy" Zabka's appearance exemplifies the archetype of all 1980s movie bullies. Suppose you close your eyes and think of the type of guy who would pester the charming underdog of an '80s teen movie. In that case, he's probably a tall, beefy blonde whose parents definitely had a photo of Ronald Reagan hanging above the TV in their living room. It's not Zabka's fault that he became the blueprint for this character type, but when looking at the landscape of high school movies from the decade, it certainly seems like every casting director was looking for "a Billy Zabka type." In some instances, that meant straight-up hiring him.

Zabka's follow-up to his breakout role in "The Karate Kid" is an oft-forgotten teen comedy directed by Lisa Gottlieb called "Just One of the Guys." A loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night,...

"We could be stuck here fro eons and eons." Buffalo 8 has unveiled the official trailer for an indie romantic drama called Upon Waking, a supernatural love story from Max Rissman. This won the Alternative Spirit Award at its world premiere at the 2023 Flickers Film Festival, and it will be released soon on VOD directly in February just in time for Valentine's Day. When two young lesbians, struggling with their own personal demons, get carbon monoxide poisoning during the first date and fall into a coma, their disembodied spirits must learn to love one another & themselves to have a chance at waking up. "Through this film, we explored profound themes of love, healing, and self-discovery, and we hope it resonates with any audiences who are drawn to its rich and layered storytelling." Starring Vanessa Dubasso and Elsie Hewitt, with Sherilyn Fenn, Sulem Calderon, Chris Zylka, Emelia Hartford, Lydia Marlatt, and Annie Abbott.

Being the child of an iconic artist like David Lynch comes with a lot of pressure, especially if you plan on making movies. Jennifer Lynch's Golden Raspberry-winning erotic thriller Boxing Helena bombed hard at the box office and took a beating from critics who couldn't stomach its outrageous story about a rogue surgeon who removes a woman's limbs. The young director went dark for 15 years after this distressing experience — but she returned with the stunningly original Surveillance, a must-see for fans of mind-bending horror.

Besides having big shoes to fill, Jennifer Lynch was just 19 years old when she began production on the movie that would thrust her into the public eye. Boxing Helena was a big swing in every way, and whether or not she deserved her Razzie for Worst Director, it remains a fascinating example of extreme cinema that could only come from a truly daring filmmaker. 15 years...

The horror comedy series Shining Vale premiered on Starz back in March of 2022, then the second season reached the airwaves in October of 2023. Unfortunately, it was cancelled soon after, as it “did not find a large enough audience to continue.” But Starz went further than just cancelling this show, they also it from their archives, removing from the Starz streaming service at the end of 2023. A year later, Shining Vale has now resurfaced and is available to watch on the Max streaming service!

Created by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan, the first season of Shining Vale followed a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Pat is a...

A year after Shining Vale was canceled by Starz and removed from the streamer’s library, the existing two seasons of the series, starring Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear, are available for streaming again, this time on Max.

The Warner Bros. Discovery streamer picked up the two seasons of horror comedy, produced by sibling Warner Bros. Television which at the time of the December 2023 cancellation tried to find a new home for it.

Season 1 of Shining Vale, from creators Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan, followed Pat (Cox) and Terry Phelps (Kinnear), a married couple who cash in their life savings and move from a cramped Brooklyn apartment to an old Victorian mansion in Connecticut, as a last-ditch effort to save their marriage. Doors slam, the piano plays by itself and when an old-fashioned-looking woman appears to hover outside the family window, Pat believes that she is going crazy — or worse.

After several months of negotiations, legacy star Courteney Cox will officially return for the upcoming installment in the Scream franchise, Scream 7. However, the film is more than a year away from its theatrical release, but Max has the perfect replacement.

While fans wait to see what will happen next to Cox's Gale Weathers, the only legacy star to have appeared in all Scream installments so far, Warner Bros. Discovery offered the second-best option. On Jan. 1, Courteney Cox's two-season series Shining Vale premiered on Max. While it's quite different from the famous slasher franchise, Shining Vale is a satirical comedy horror that will keep viewers entertained.

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 2 included one scene as a homage to director David Lynch, who directed the 1984 version of the film. Lynch’s Dune was an underwhelming film in many aspects and even the legendary director tried to distance himself from the film. When Villeneuve made the Dune remake, Lynch vowed that he would never see it because it was still a sore spot for him.

Interestingly, Villeneuve used inspiration in Dune 2 from a different Lynch film. Lynch worked on Blue Velvet right after the commercial failure of Dune. While the film’s explicit content was subject to a lot of criticism, the director received his second Academy Award nomination for Best Director for the film.

David Lynch has been in the entertainment industry for more than five decades now and still continues to be regarded as one of the finest visionaries to have existed to date. For a career that started back in the 70s, the filmmaker, visual artist, musician, and actor all in one has cemented his position all the while being widely renowned for all the meritorious pieces he has scored.

In the early 1990s, the world was taken over by the American drama series, Twin Peaks. Although fans loved David Lynch’s creative genius in the show, the creator wound up breaking a lot of hearts when he temporarily left the show in the second season.

As the co-creator, director, and creative force behind the show, his unique vision was a vital component of the show’s surreal and mysterious appeal. Fans feared that without him, their beloved cult classic would lose its soul. But the most poignant response came from Sherilyn Fenn, the actress who portrayed Audrey Horne, one of the most iconic and beloved characters from the series.

I’m trying to decrease my usage of “good” and “bad” when discussing art. They are lazy shortcuts that distill creativity into the simplest qualitative assessments as if art is worth boiling down to a pure binary outlook.

Conversely, “bad” movies always pique my interest, and I’m more likely to look deeper for their successful elements than what I find from the consensus.

Twin Peaks, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, is one of the most iconic and influential shows in TV history. Originally airing from 1990 to 1991, it was abruptly canceled after its second season; years later, Lynch went on to make one of the most acclaimed movies of the 21st century, Mulholland Drive. Like Twin Peaks, the film was a mystery brimming with Lynch’s signature surrealism, but something fans might not know is that the connection between the two works goes even deeper. As Frost shared in the book Conversations With Mark Frost (per IndieWire), the neo-noir classic was originally conceived during the 1990s as a Twin Peaks spinoff show centered on fan favorite Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn), whose storyline was left on a cliffhanger at the end of Season 2. In fact, the entire finale provided more questions than explanations about many of the show’s plot lines that weren...

J.R. was waiting in line with maybe 200 fellow fans to spend a moment getting the autograph of – and perhaps taking a selfie with – Christina Ricci, the actress who made her debut in the “Addams Family” movies in the 1990s who is now an Emmy-nominated star on the Showtime series “Yellowjackets” as well as a regular on Netflix’s “Wednesday.” The setting on Saturday was the Hollywood Autograph Show at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel, a three-times-a-year movie and memorabilia event where fans can come to lay eyes on some old-time celebrity favorites, get their name in ink, pose for a selfie and maybe pick up a book or vintage photograph.

Eighty or so celebrities staked out tables to sign their name and pix for a fee. J.R. was one of those who got hooked on attending these shows a few years back and now never misses one.

"Shining Vale", the comedy horror TV series created by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan, (directed by women), stars Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Sherilyn Fenn, Mira Sorvino, Merrin Dungey and Judith Light, with Season 2 streaming October 13, 2023 on Starz:

Everyone loves fun car films. With Fast X spawning a spin-off and sequel and Gran Tusimo (out on VOD Tuesday) doing decent business at the box office, the genre isn’t going anywhere. We thought now would be a good time to check out some less-known (or underrated) entries into the genre.

Taxi

We’re going to cheat right off the start by counting this whole series and one entry on this list. The films here are action-comedy classics for fans of French movies and those who love a good car stunt. The first established the characters, but the second is possibly the best of the bunch. Only die-hard fans will want to bother from the third to the fourth to the fifth. However, those first two are worth seeking out what the French do with a modified Peugeot 406, the vacation town of Nice, and a cast that most will recognize from other movies.

It’s not even October, but Massachusetts is already being spoiled with horror events. A mere week after Silver Scream Con took place in Danvers, Terror Con slashed into the Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough on September 15-17.

Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, had the longest lines throughout the weekend. He was joined by several other A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise alumni: Part 1’s Heather Langenkamp, Amanda Wyss, and Ronee Blakeley; Part 2’s Mark Patton and Kim Myers; Part 4’s Lisa Wilcox and Nicholas Mele; Part 5’s Erika Anderson, Whit Hertford, and Beatrice Boepple; and Freddy vs. Jason‘s Monica Keena.

Other big draws included Lance Henriksen (Aliens), Edward Furlong (Terminator 2), pro wrestling legend Mick Foley, The Walking Dead‘s Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Chandler Riggs, Emily Kinney, and Katelyn Nacon, Danielle Harris (Halloween), Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks), John Kassir (Tales from the Crypt), and a Fright Night reunion with Chris Sarandon,...

The horror comedy series Shining Vale premiered on Starz back in March of 2022 – and last month, Starz confirmed that season 2 of the show will be reaching the airwaves next month. To be specific, it’s set to premiere on Friday, October 13th. With that date right around the corner, a trailer for Shining Vale season 2 has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Created by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan, the first season of Shining Vale followed a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Pat is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.

Season 2 of the live-action horror comedy TV series "Shining Vale", starring Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Mira Sorvino, Merrin Dungey, Judith Light, Gus Birney, Dylan Gage, Allison Tolman and Sherilyn Fenn, streams October 13, 2023 on Starz:

"...'Pat' landed herself in a psychiatric hospital during the Season 1 finale. She went through extensive 'Electroshock Therapy' and when she returns home she meets a mysterious woman who introduces her to a host of ancient remedies used to 'cure' women of depression, including the apocryphal 'Smile Masks'.

"Season 2 explores what’s in store for the 'Phelps' family as they continue to be haunted by ghosts while Pat struggles to live with mental illness among a broken family, battling demons both internally… and externally..."

Courteney Cox is seeing dead people again in the trailer for Season 2 of Shining Vale, premiering Friday, Oct. 13 (9/8c) on Starz.

Following her release from a psychiatric hospital, Cox’s character Pat returns home in Season 2 to discover a “mysterious woman who introduces her to a host of ancient remedies used to ‘cure’ women of depression, including the apocryphal Smile Masks,” per the official logline. The new season also “explores what’s in store for the Phelps family as they continue to be haunted by ghosts while Pat struggles to live with mental illness among a broken family, battling demons both internally…...

After trying to murder her family with an ax in season one, the trailer for Starz’s Shining Vale season two reveals that Pat (Courteney Cox) thinks she might be all better now after going through extensive electroshock therapy. However, the trailer goes on to confirm that Pat’s actually not fine now and believes her psychosis has infected her family.

And speaking of Pat’s family…they don’t seem ready or willing to embrace her return.

Starz’s description of the new season explains that “when she returns home, she meets a mysterious woman who introduces her to a host of ancient remedies used to ‘cure’ women of depression, including the apocryphal Smile Masks. Season two explores what’s in store for the Phelps family as they continue to be haunted by ghosts while Pat struggles to live with mental illness among a broken family, battling demons both internally…...

How does Pat (Courteney Cox) possibly bounce back following the events of Shining Vale Season 1?

Starz unveiled the official trailer for Shining Vale Season 2 on Wednesday, and it won't be an easy task.

The series also stars Greg Kinnear, Mira Sorvino, Gus Birney, Merrin Dungey, and Dylan Gage.

The cast is rounded out by Emmy Award® nominees Judith Light, Allison Tolman, and Sherilyn Fenn.

On Shining Vale Season 2, the Phelps must battle their demons both internally… and externally. Something is lurking in the shadows in Shining Vale, and it's more than just Rosemary (Sorvino).

"Pat returns home, determined to pick up the pieces of her broken family, but she quickly finds out her children don't need her, Terry doesn't remember her and to make matters worse, Pat's new neighbor Ruth looks exactly like Rosemary."

"Meanwhile, the house starts to reveal the shocking secrets of its dark past," Starz teases.
