Is there any contemporary actor more iconic than Nicolas Cage? Instantly identifiable and beloved by both mainstream audiences and cult aficionados, it’s hard to believe that there was a time when Nicolas Cage wasn’t considered a bankable leading man. While movies like Raising Arizona and Moonstruck established him as a quirky lead, in 1990, he made an action movie called Fire Birds, which was like Top Gun with helicopters and whiffed at the box office. He had a solid hit as a romantic lead in Honeymoon in Vegas. However, in 1995, the same year he delivered an Academy Award-winning performance in Leaving Las Vegas, he was still considered so minor of a star that David Caruso took top billing over him in their remake of Kiss of Death – which – by the way – was another flop. However, that all changed when uber producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer decided Cage had potential as an action hero,...

In 1989, a film with a bonkers premise was released in theaters and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Look Who's Talking, by writer/director Amy Heckerling, helped launch John Travolta back to Hollywood stardom, but it was a project that almost didn't happen. Look Who's Talking is a romantic comedy with a basic plot: Mollie Jensen gets pregnant after she has an affair with one of her clients. On the day of Mikey's birth, Mollie jumps into a taxicab, and the driver, James, is mistaken for the baby's father. After a while, he becomes Mikey's father figure, babysitter, and Mollie's lover.

Sounds like a regular comedy, right? Well, it isn't. From the conception of the fetus, viewers listen to the precocious thoughts of the baby. No one else can hear the baby but the audience, who are treated to none other than Bruce Willis' voice as the baby.

Halle Berry is undeniably one of the biggest movie stars of all time. While she may have starred as Catwoman in a less-than-stellar film, her career boasts major highlights, including her Academy Award-winning performance in Monster’s Ball (2001), her portrayal of Storm in four X-Men films (2000–2014), a memorable role as a henchwoman in Swordfish (2001), and as Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002).

Additionally, she has had significant roles in Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012), The Call (2013), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019).

Berry has showcased her remarkable versatility throughout her career by taking on diverse projects. Nevertheless, her portrayal of Storm has left a lasting impression, and fans continue to adore her interpretation of the character.

Amid ongoing speculation about her potential return as Storm in the upcoming Avengers films, the actress recently shared her thoughts on an intriguing revelation from X-Men director Matthew Vaughn, who...

Halle Berry is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. That is a fact. Sure, she’s played Catwoman in that abomination of a movie, but her career includes major credits such as Monster’s Ball (2001), the role of Storm in four installments of the X-Men film series (2000–2014), the henchwoman of a robber in the thriller Swordfish (2001), and Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002).

She also has significant roles in Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012), and The Call (2013), as well as Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019).

Now, the popular actress has done it all in her career, appearing in various different projects and showing the diversity of her talent. Still, despite that, the role of Storm is going to stick with her forever, as the fans simply love her version of the character.

And while the speculations about her reprising the role in the...

Halle Berry is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. That is a fact. Sure, she’s played Catwoman in that abomination of a movie, but her career includes major credits such as Monster’s Ball (2001), the role of Storm in four installments of the X-Men film series (2000–2014), the henchwoman of a robber in the thriller Swordfish (2001), and Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002). She also has significant roles in Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012), and The Call (2013), as well as Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019).

Her role in Monster’s Ball earned her an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, which is when she became the (so far) only African-American woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the first woman of color.

In a recent big interview for Marie Claire, the actress, among other things, discussed her career in...

Life peaked in high school for Mike McKenna (Mark Wahlberg), whereas then-sweetheart Roxanne Hall (Halle Berry) managed to escape dead-end New Jersey and travel the world. While he joined the local construction workers union, she joined the Union, a clandestine spy group about whom Roxanne blandly claims, “Half the intelligence community don’t know we exist, and the other half regret finding out.”

A lazy wish-fulfillment fantasy from Netflix’s star-service department, “The Union” is actually the story of a reunion — Mike and Roxanne’s — set against the backdrop of a crisis we’ve seen one too many times in recent spy movies. For Wahlberg, the wish in question is wanting to be James Bond, which will never happen for the Dorchester-born American. And the fantasy is getting to play the next best thing, recruited by former Bond girl Halle Berry.

The movie’s big idea is to shoehorn a...

Plot: Mike is happy living a simple life as a construction worker in his native New Jersey – until his long-lost high school sweetheart, Roxanne, shows up with more on her mind than romance. Knowing he’s the right man for the job, she recruits Mike on a dangerous intelligence mission in Europe that thrusts them back together into a world of spies and high-speed car chases, with sparks flying along the way.

Review: Spy franchises work when the main characters are augmented like Jason Bourne or elite veterans like James Bond and Ethan Hunt. When starting a new franchise, it is tricky to balance it and make it believable that an average nobody can quickly become a hero. The Union represents Mark Wahlberg’s second attempt in three years to play a seemingly average guy who has hidden skills that make him a vital resource to save the world. In 2021’s Infinite,...

From playing a super-powered mutant to an Mma fighter, Halle Berry has had her fair share of on-the-job accidents over the years.

The Academy Award winner recently compared battle scars with her The Union co-star Mark Wahlberg as they discussed their dangerous experiences with stunt performances on their many action movies.

“I’ve been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice — two ribs one time, three ribs another time — broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger. This finger,” said Berry in the Netflix clip with a laugh while holding up her middle finger.

One such injury happened on the set of 2003’s Gothika, when Berry broke a bone in her right forearm, delaying the shoot by several weeks. Three of her broken ribs came from John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum (2019) and the other two came from her 2020 Mma drama Bruised, which also marked her directorial debut.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" not only features a bunch of Deadpool variants making up the infamous Deadpool Corps. from Marvel Comics, it also reveals a bunch of Wolverine variants from across the multiverse. One of them is comically short, both in accuracy when compared to the comics and visually hilarious, while another has been given quite the grandiose crucifixion on a massive X in the middle of a pile of blood-red skulls. But one of them is a totally ripped, gruff, and perfectly grumpy Wolverine played by none other than "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill.

The introduction of this version of Wolverine not only takes a stab at DC Comics letting their Big Blue Boy Scout go without much of a celebrated send-off, but it shows that Cavill was basically in the wrong comic book universe this whole time. While it's not likely that we'll see Cavill pick up the...

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is now playing in theaters, and although Hugh Jackman probably won’t receive any major awards nominations for his anticipated return as his comic book character, he has been nominated for an Oscar as well as other major trophies throughout his career. Let’s look back at his many awards races.

After his breakthrough performance as Wolverine in the first “X-Men” film, Jackman spent most of the 2000s appearing in summer action blockbusters like “Swordfish” and “Van Helsing” as well as “X-Men” sequels and a prequel. He was never a serious awards contender for the 2001 romantic comedy “Kate & Leopold,” but he did receive his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The other nominees were Ewan McGregor for “Moulin Rouge!,” John Cameron Mitchell for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Billy Bob Thornton for “Bandits” and Gene Hackman for “The Royal Tenenbaums,...

X-Men: Days of Future Past could easily be termed the best movie out of all the films in the X-Men film series, with its critically acclaimed score from both critics and the general audience. But even in its final form that was seen on the big screens, there were some elements missing that had actually been shot but never made it to the final cut.

One of these scenes included Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a rather unpredictable position with another Marvel actress. As seen in a recently resurfaced deleted clip from the movie, Halle Berry’s Storm was seen engaged in a passionate lip-lock scene with Jackman’s mutant, following which she quite literally screams in joy at the gravity of what she had just done.

The year 2024 is turning out to be quite the year for Hugh Jackman. The Australian star is making a return to the big screen as everyone’s favorite clawed mutant, Wolverine. The X-Men member has been a mainstay not only in the comics, but also in the movie series, beginning with 2000’s X-Men. It was the latter which catapulted Hugh Jackman to a pedestal from which there was no turning back. The year 2024 marks a return for Jackman to his loved role. But it comes alongside confirmation that he will be making his debut as Robin Hood, as well.

Some movie scenes, like those from I Am Legend and The Matrix Reloaded, are worth the high costs for their impact. Other scenes, like those in Swordfish and Speed 2: Cruise Control, were costly and not well received. The D-Day scene from Saving Private Ryan and the chariot race from Ben-Hur were iconic, expensive, and well worth the expense.

Studios have been known to dish out astounding amounts of money for single, expensive movie scenes that likely represent a key moment in the plot. Some of these cases represent famous, brilliant scenes that are celebrated for their innovation and detail. If a scene is going to turn out to be one of the most famous moments in cinematic history, it more or less justifies the cost.

On the other hand, studios have spent exorbitant amounts of money on scenes in movies that didn't pan out. This often happens with action...

With its list of new releases for August 2023, Prime Video is relying on a heaping dose of fun library movies.

The first of the month brings a big influx of worthwhile flicks, including Galaxy Quest, Saw, F9: The Fast Saga, and Jurassic Park (the last two via Amazon’s Freevee free streaming option). Then some other recents hits arrive later on like the appropriately titled Cocaine Bear on Aug. 15 and the Chris Pine-starring Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on Aug. 25.

August also sees the arrival of a major Amazon Original movie in the form of Red, White & Royal Blue.

Over on the TV side of things, Prime Video subscribers can check out the Sigourney Weaver project The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart on Aug. 4 and Harlan Coben’s Shelter on Aug.

It’s been quite a year for Prime Video already. The service is seeing huge success with its second season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” and its international espionage thriller “Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan” turned in its fourth and final season earlier this summer.

Unfortunately for Tolkien fans, there’s no new season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” to dive into this August, but there are some fantastic titles coming to Prime Video all throughout the month.

A-lister DJ and Swordfish soundtrack composer Paul Oakenfold has been accused of sexual harassment and workplace violations by a former personal assistant.

The lawsuit was filed Friday in LA Superior Court by an individual identified only as Jane Roe, a 24-year-old woman. The plaintiff alleges that two companies run by CEO Paul Stepanek — New Frequency Management and Stepanek Management– Oakenfold, and various John Does violated her employment rights.

Seeking a variety of damages in excess of $25,000, the five-claim complaint declares that shortly after taking a job in October 2022 at the management companies, she was assigned to be Oakenfold’s personal assistant for $20 per hour. Jane Roe worked out of the home of the Grammy-nominated DJ who has remixed such artists as U2, Madonna, Britney Spears and the Rolling Stones.

Starting on Jane Roe’s first day, for a total of four separate dates, Oakenfold allegedly exposed himself and masturbated in front of her.

Matt Reeves' 2022 film "The Batman" featured the title character in yet another rebooted continuity, this time even darker and grittier than ever before. Batman (Robert Pattinson) was seen as a pale-skinned, stoic outsider, rarely making public appearances as Bruce Wayne, preferring to use his fists to ignite fear in the hearts of the criminal underground. He didn't smile and seemed incapable of experiencing happiness. The Riddler (Paul Dano) was reimagined to resemble the real-life Zodiac Killer, and murdered people on the regular. Gotham City was more corrupt than ever, and it is tantalizingly suggested at one point that Bruce Wayne's late father might have opened the door for massive corruption to leak into the city's legislature. Sadly, that moment is walked back. 

Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), meanwhile, is a stolid and bitter woman living in poverty with multiple cats and her at-risk girlfriend Annika (Hana Hrzic). Technically, the screenplay never...

William Friedkin's "The Exorcist" is one of the best horror movies ever made, which makes it by extension one of the best movies ever made at all. But it's not just a powerful dramatic exploration of faith in an increasingly secular society, and it's not just a terrifically scary motion picture that stunned audiences; it was also a gigantic mega-blockbuster by any reasonable measure. If you adjust for inflation to determine how much "The Exorcist" would have made theatrically at today's ticket prices, you'll find it would have made over a billion dollars domestically, ranking it the ninth-highest-grossing movie in the history of the American box office. That's more than "Avengers: Endgame" or "Avatar."

So regardless of how excellent the original film was, "The Exorcist" was still a huge financial success, and we all know what happens to huge financial successes -- they get sequels. And "The Exorcist" had some very strange sequels.

Dominic Sena's computer hacker thriller "Swordfish" was not particularly well-received when it was released in June of 2001, and currently holds a mere 25% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Indeed, the film's villain, a pageboy-cut-sporting John Travolta, was even nominated for a Razzie Award for his performance. The film was about a hip young hacker named Stanley (Hugh Jackman), on the outs with his wife and recovering from alcoholism, who is forcibly recruited by a supercriminal named Gabriel Shear (Travolta) to hack into the government and steal billions worth of slush fund money. Gabriel's ultimate plot is massively complicated, and he may actually be usurping another man's identity to commit even more horrendous crimes. Halle Berry plays fellow hacker Ginger, who is actually an undercover DEA agent, and who requires Stanley's help in apprehending Gabriel. Ginger is a classic femme fatale, and spends a great deal of "Swordfish" seducing Stanley.

"Swordfish" is unnecessarily convoluted,...

John Travolta is an award-winning American actor, singer, producer, and dancer. He achieved international stardom following his leading role in the hit musical film Saturday Night Fever (1977), which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. His subsequent box office successes include Grease (1978), Pulp Fiction (1994), Get Shorty (1995), Face/Off (1997), Swordfish (2001) and Be Cool (2005). His extensive film credits also include films such as Urban Cowboy (1980) and Phenomenon (1996). Other notable performances include the romantic comedy film Look Who’s Talking (1989) and its two sequels, as well as the comedic films Primary Colors (1998) and Hairspray (2007).

Exclusive: Range Media Partners has signed iconic actress, producer and director Halle Berry, who to this day, remains the only Black winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress.

The trailblazer won the prize for her performance opposite Billy Bob Thornton in the 2001 Marc Forster drama Monster’s Ball, with her role also garnering her Best Actress awards from the Berlin Film Festival, the Screen Actors Guild and the National Board of Review.

Over the course of her more than three decades in Hollywood, Berry has featured in such major franchises as X-Men, Kingsman, John Wick and James Bond, working with a who’s who of talent while appearing in films of every imaginable genre — from thrillers like Gothika, Perfect Stranger and The Call, to dramas like Things We Lpost in the Fire, sci-fi epics like the Wachowskis’ Cloud Atlas, action-comedies including The Last Boy Scout, and rom-coms like Boomerang with Eddie Murphy.

Veteran producer Joel Silver (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey’s Team Downey and Amazon Studios are partnering to develop a series of feature film and television projects based on Donald E. Westlake’s series of highly popular Parker crime fiction novels, written under the pseudonym Richard Stark.

The first project emerging from the deal will be the film Play Dirty, in which Downey Jr. (Marvel’s Avengers franchise) is set to star as Parker, a professional thief who approaches his job with a straightforward, no-nonsense work ethic. He’s a craftsman. He’s brutal, brilliant. He’s also deadly. He’s whatever it takes to get the money and get away clean. The Parker character was first introduced in 1962’s The Hunter from Pocket Books and featured in 23 other titles from Westlake, subsequently serving as the basis for such films as Parker with Jason Statham,...

Oscar winner Halle Berry has entered into a new partnership with Netflix which will see her continue to star in and produce films for the streamer.

The announcement comes one week after Netflix’s global release of her feature directorial debut, Bruised, which quickly landed the streamer’s #1 film of the week slot in the U.S., and has charted at #2 on its Top 10 Global English Film List. Bruised hit #1 in a total of 21 countries, and was watched for 47.7M hours in its first five days.

In the film penned by first-time feature writer Michelle Rosenfarb, Berry stars as Jackie Justice, an Mma fighter who reclaims her power, in and out of the ring, when everyone has counted her out. She also produced the sports drama alongside Basil Iwaynk, Brad Feinstein, Guymon Casady, Linda Gottlieb, Erica Lee, Gillian G. Hormel, Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis and Terry Douglas. It made...

Halle Berry, Anthony Anderson, Jennifer Hudson and Barry Jenkins are among the honorees at this year’s edition of the Critics Choice Association’s annual Celebration of Black Cinema & Television event.

This year’s ceremony, which takes place on Monday, Dec. 6 at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel, includes TV recognition for the first time. The Celebration of Black Cinema launched in 2014 to honor standout achievements in Black filmmaking. For 2021, the event will feature 20 award categories.

Berry will receive the Career Achievement Award, recognized for her roles in films such as “Monster’s Ball,” which earned her an Oscar for best actress (the first and only Black woman to receive that award) in 2002.

Jennifer Hudson, Halle Berry, Barry Jenkins and Anthony Anderson are among this year’s honorees for the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Black Cinema & Television. Inaugurated in 2014, the annual event has honored standout achievements in Black filmmaking, and this year will be the first to incorporate excellence in television as well. It will take place on Monday, December 6, at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel and will feature 20 award categories.

Academy Award-winning actress Berry will receive the Career Achievement Award as a tribute to her extraordinary roles over the years, as well as her upcoming directorial debut Bruised, in which she also stars as the disgraced Mma fighter Jackie Justice. It opens November 17 in theaters and hits Netflix on November 24. Berry’s career has spanned three decades, including performances in Die Another Day, Jungle Fever, Losing Isaiah, Bulworth, Swordfish, John Wick and as legendary actress in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, for which she won an Emmy.

In 2001, Hugh Jackman starred in Swordfish, a grimy tech thriller in which he played a world-class hacker lured into a criminal conspiracy overseen by a soul-patched terrorist played by John Travolta. It’s not a great movie, but it has several memorable moments, including a lengthy (and ridiculous) hacking sequence that is parodied almost exactly […]

The post How ‘America: The Motion Picture’ Perfectly Parodied ‘Swordfish’ and the Worst (or Maybe Best?) Hacking Scene Ever appeared first on /Film.

“America: The Motion Picture,” Netflix’s first R-rated animated feature, offers a satirical, revisionist reworking of the American Revolution, in which a chainsaw-wielding George Washington (voiced by Channing Tatum) fights the British with a merry band of Colonial misfits to avenge the death of his Bff, Abe Lincoln (voiced by Will Forte). They include beer-worshiping Sam Adams (Jason Mantzoukas), gender-bending science wiz Thomas Edison (Olivia Munn), “horse-racist” Paul Revere (Bobby Moynihan), one-armed Apache leader Geronimo (Raoul Trujillo), and handy blacksmith John Henry (Killer Mike).

It’s like an absurd 2D cross between “Archer” and “Clone High,” which isn’t surprising, since it’s directed by “Archer” producer Matt Thompson and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are rebooting “Clone High” for HBO Max, while writing and producing “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2,” which is co-written by “America” scribe Dave Callaham (Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings...

This weekend wraps up Pride Month celebrations, and Halle showed the love in her rainbow-striped skirt revealing her sunflower tattoo to the delight of her fans.

You know what everyone could use in the sweltering summer months? A nice, cold glass of…anime. At least that’s the particular theme that comes up in Netflix’s list of new releases for June 2021.

Netflix has been quietly expanding their anime offerings for awhile now but June is a particularly anime-heavy month. The absolutely metal sounding Record of Ragnarok arrives this month. So too do parts 1 and 2 of the newest Sailor Moon film on June 3 and Godzilla Singular Point on June 24.

With a new month quickly approaching, it’s time to look ahead and see what’s coming to all your favorite streaming services this November. That’s Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and, of course, HBO Max.

Hugh Jackman may have shot to fame as Wolverine and become both an integral part and the marquee name of Fox’s X-Men franchise for almost two decades, but when he wasn’t growing out his sideburns and hitting the gym to play Logan, the actor never really ventured into blockbuster territory too often, and his stance hasn’t changed, either, since retiring the claws in 2016.

A lot of that has to do with the fact that the overwhelming majority of his big budget productions weren’t particularly good, and nearly every single movie Jackman has played a major role in that cost over $100 million to produce has been dismissed by critics and bombed at the box office. Swordfish, Van Helsing, Australia and Pan were all terrible efforts in their respective genres, but his fifth big budget bomb has gone on to find something of a second life as an unappreciated hidden gem.

Halle Berry infamously stripped off her top in Swordfish, showing off her assets to Hugh Jackman in a scene that will live on in infamy. That happened way back in 2001 in the golden age of DVDs. And it surely wrecked a lot of pause buttons. Now, nearly twenty years later, Halle is going topless again, only this time it's on Instagram. And it's not to sell an action movie, it's to promote self-love amidst the backdrop of a difficult divorce.

Nearly two decades later, Halle Berry doesn't look like she has aged a day. A lot of famous friends have been chiming in to comment on how tone her arms are, looking ready for another fight alongside John Wick. In the past month, Halle Berry also paid homage to her iconic bikini scene from Die Another Day in which she portrayed Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson in a stunning two-piece.

Nudity in movies is nothing new. It's been around since the days of silent film, though it started to evolve around the release of the Vcr in the 1980s. Suddenly, scenes were able to be paused and reversed, allowing for more time to admire the human body. After the Vcr, the DVD came into play, offering an even better look, while the internet turned it into a free-for-all. Even though nudity is everywhere these days, there are some scenes that just stick out from the rest. We've compiled a list of some of the best nude scenes that may have worn out the rewind button or burned an image into a computer screen.

In the days leading up to the Fourth of July, New York governor Andrew Cuomo took to social media urging state residents to avoid indoor parties and large gatherings. But it seems folks didn’t listen and after seeing pictures of packed beaches and stocked bars surface online, a second wave of coronavirus-induced quarantine and social distancing seems closer than ever before.

When it comes to Netflix – and most major streaming services, for that matter – the first of the month is always a big deal. It’s when the most new content arrives and usually brings with it a heavy helping of fresh material for subscribers to sink their teeth into. And sure enough, July is no different.

Yes, as it’s July 1st today, the streamer has opened the floodgates and unleashed a whole bunch of new movies and TV shows. And as you can see from the complete list below, we’ve got quite the selection to choose from. Be it the excellent and sorely underrated sci-fi epic Cloud Atlas, horror juggernaut Paranormal Activity, the visually stunning Sucker Punch or early Johnny Depp films like Donnie Brasco and Sleepy Hollow, you surely won’t have trouble finding something to flip on tonight and enjoy.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Every year, movies are being produced at faster rates and in greater quantity, and that’s thanks – in part – to streamers like Netflix. Because of their business strategy, customers can now watch thousands of films for the same price as a single cinema ticket. As such, the entertainment appetite of the American public has been growing stronger with each passing season. To that end, here’s an overview of the best new movies coming to Netflix next month.

First off, we got science fiction and fantasy. Fans of visiting other worlds will be in for a treat in July, as Netflix will be adding Cloud Atlas to its library. Directed by the Wachowski siblings – the same ones who created the now-infamous Matrix franchise – this time-traveling epic follows the stories of a handful of reincarnating souls who live their different yet similar lives across several centuries.

Up next we got acclaimed classics,...

How does Netflix determine which titles leave and which enter its dauntingly large library? Do they carefully analyze viewing statistics and find content that caters to our interests? Or do they simply throw an immense amount of content at the wall and watch what sticks?

The answer is probably a mix of both. Like most entertainment companies, Netflix knows full well the potential of mathematics, but it also respects the creative spirit. As such, some new additions may have been carefully chosen, and others not. In any case, here’s an overview of the 81 new movies and TV shows headed to the platform this coming week.

Let’s begin with the basics. One of the most inoffensive yet well-crafted Hollywood films arriving is Donnie Brasco. Produced in 1997, it stars now-legendary actor Johnny Depp in one of his first lead roles ever, and tells the story of an undercover cop who...

The summer movie season, as we usually know it, isn’t happening this year, with few big releases planning to drop over the next couple of months, even if cinemas are just starting to reopen. Instead, then, it’s falling on Netflix and the various other streaming services to pull their weight and give movie lovers a range of new content to feast on. Thankfully, July isn’t looking too shabby for original films and TV, not to mention lots of classics or underrated gems appearing on all the usual sites.

Of course, Netflix has the most original output coming across next month. TV fans, in particular, have got much to look forward to, including season 2 of The Umbrella Academy. In fact, it’s a good month for fantasy series based off comic books all-round, as we’ve also got Arthurian retelling Cursed and super-powered action show Warrior Nun coming as well.

Netflix is out with its list of everything coming and going in July, and it includes Netflix originals like “Warrior Nun,” season one of “The Baby-Sitters Club,” the final football season of “Last Chance U,” and “The Kissing Booth 2.”

Some classic movies and beloved romantic comedies coming to the streamer include the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” the Ryan Reynolds rom-com “Definitely Maybe,” the Mandy Moore-lead “A Walk to Remember,” and the Jim Carrey 2004 film “A Series of Unfortunate Events.”

Leaving at the end of the month are favorites like the Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams heartbreaker “Blue Valentine,” the Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller love story “Spectacular Now,” Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” and all three “Back to the Future” movies.

You know, plenty of streaming services would treat the dog days of summer as an excuse to slow down. At Netflix, however, the content buffet is still open, baby. Despite the coronavirus pandemic shutting down all of Hollywood for an extended period of time, Netflix’s new releases for July 2020 are still jam-packed with a host of familiar originals.

The blockbuster this month is probably The Umbrella Academy season 2. The next installment for the Hargreeves family arrives on July 31. And if that’s too long of a wait for you, Netflix gets the month off to a strong start with a string of originals as well. Unsolved Mysteries arrives on July 1, followed by Warrior Nun on July 2, and The Baby-Sitter’s Club on July 3. That’s not even to mentioned the feminist take on Arthurian legend, Cursed, which premiers on July 17.

There are a couple of intriguing original movies to consider this month as well.

With June now coming to an end, it’s time to begin looking at what’s to come next month on all the various streaming services, and after hearing from the likes of Disney Plus, HBO Max, Amazon Prime and Hulu, the top dog has now announced their line-up for July, and it’s a big one.

Yes, Netflix has revealed today what subscribers can expect over the next few weeks and the list of new arrivals is as impressive as ever.

GLAAD Award-winning comic book writer Greg Rucka has a new Netflix movie on the way in July. The Wonder Woman scribe has adapted his own series, The Old Guard, for Skydance and the streaming service, and Gina Prince-Blythewood (Marvel‘s Cloak & Dagger) has directed the project.

Teased by the tagline “forever is harder than it looks”, The Old Guard follows a group of soldiers who are led by Charlize Theron‘s Andy. The pack are immortal mercenaries who have seen a lot of shit over the centuries, and now they’re pretty bored with life in general. Things start to get interesting again when they discover that a new immortal is serving in the Us Marines, but when their undying existence is captured on camera by a murky organization, events start to spiral out of control.

Theron stars alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marwan Kenzari, Kiki Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts, Luca Marinelli,...
