The new Spanish-language musical crime drama “Emilia Pérez” from acclaimed French director Jacques Audiard has generated significant buzz leading up to awards season. The film stars Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Selena Gomez in standout performances.

Zoe Saldana has long been known for her blockbuster roles in films like “Avatar” and “Avengers.” In “Emilia Pérez,” she plays Rita Moro Castro and showcases her singing and dancing talents in what critics call a revelatory performance. One memorable musical number, “El Mal,” has received special praise, with some comparing Saldana’s impact to Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Oscar-winning role in “Chicago.” Telluride Film Festival executive director Julie Huntsinger said the role could change Saldana’s career, stating it ends her lack of chances to display her full acting range. Industry insiders now speculate whether Saldana will campaign for a lead or supporting Oscar nomination.

Karla Sofía Gascón delivers the title role of Emilia Pérez.

The fourth Austin Powers movie was expected to give Mini-Me, played by Verne Troyer, a more significant role, showcasing a deeper exploration of his character. Director Jay Roach expressed uncertainty about how to continue the franchise without Troyer, emphasizing the integral role he played and the void his absence would leave.

Created by Mike Myers, who also stars as the eponymous character, parodies the flamboyance and peculiarities of spy films, particularly the James Bond series. Central to its appeal is the quirky cast of characters, among which Mini-Me, portrayed by the late Verne Troyer,...

The Nightmare Before Christmas confused many parents in 1993 when kids who had seen promotional material for the film excitedly proposed a family trip to the movies, receiving concerned looks after announcing the title. For anyone who learned about the film via word of mouth, it immediately sounded like the next controversial assault on Christmas à la 1984's Silent Night Deadly Night or 1980's Christmas Evil. But The Nightmare Before Christmas was nothing of the sort.

It was a brilliant love letter to Halloween, Christmas, and a nostalgic aesthetic of stop-motion animation that happened to also celebrate the macabre. The film opened to mediocre box office numbers but, over time, snowballed into a huge cult classic. Anyone who watched The Holiday Movies That Made Us learned some juicy details about Tim Burton's temper tantrums when it came to creative input from others.

How many millions of records have you sold? If you're Jessica Simpson, that number is well over 20 million. If you're not Jessica Simpson — and you're not, like, Elton John or one of those guys from Aerosmith — that number is probably a heck of a lot less. At the turn of the century, thanks to hit singles like "I Wanna Love You Forever" and her reality TV series "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica," Jessica Simpson was one of the most famous human beings in the entire world. And she's still really darned famous.

And like most singers who break into the popular zeitgeist, Simpson has also tried her hand at acting. She's probably best known on the big screen for playing the role of Daisy Duke in the 2005 "Dukes of Hazzard" movie, or at least for her cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" from the soundtrack. She also did a...

The episode of The Test of Time covering Silent Night, Deadly Night was Written by Andrew Hatfield, Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Mike Conway, Produced by John Fallon and Tyler Nichols, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

Wading through the many aspects of a movie to decide if it stands the Test of Time is one of the fun parts of this journey. Often times, we’ve looked at classics that are genuinely seen as good in most aspects and decide if it was good just for its era or if it was able to transcend its place in time and still be a good time today. Last year we looked at Christmas Evil, a movie that still is underseen, but is a true holiday classic. While Black Christmas is probably on the Mount Rushmore of both Slashers And Christmas Horror and doesn’t require a re-evaluation, what about Silent Night,...

Bruce Campbell prefers the comedic elements of the older Evil Dead movies, like Army of Darkness, over the darker and more serious tone of the recent films. Campbell believes that the filmmakers should decide the direction of the franchise and not try to recapture the magic of the original movies. While some fans may miss Ash Williams and the humorous horror, Campbell is clear that those days are behind him, but the franchise is far from over.

The world of cinema is full of reboots and remakes, and sometimes that is a good thing. This year saw the return of The Evil Dead franchise to theaters with the hugely successful Evil Dead Rise, another entry in the saga of the Deadites that continued down the darker route set by Fede Álvarez’s 2013 remake. While the movie’s change of setting to a suburban apartment block, and Lee Cronin’s eye for dark,...

Rick Sanchez has now been recast with Ian Cardoni, and Morty Smith with Harry Belden, allowing the show to continue delivering its particular brand of zany hilarity even without one of its main creative forces.

The jury is still out on whether Rick and Morty...

Many of us have our Thanksgiving plans all lined up, but Eli Roth has some ideas of his own – for Thanksgiving, that is. If all goes as planned and his upcoming movie can scare the stuffing out of us, he hopes to keep coming home for the holidays…in a body bag.

Speaking with ComicBook.com, Eli Roth said he can see Thanksgiving bringing about a whole calendar of holiday horror movies. “We didn’t really think too much beyond this movie, but as we were shooting, you start joking around going, ‘Oh yeah, we could do a movie set there, we could do this, we could do that. The Thanksgivingverse’…I mean, it’s completely up to the fans. But we had such a great time making it and the more you think about it, the more ideas you get…We were like, we don’t want to stop.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is getting the band back together, largely thanks to Edgar Wright's connections.

Speaking to The New York Times, showrunners Bryan Lee O'Malley and BenDavid Grabinski praised their show's executive producer and former Scott Pilgrim vs. the World director for bringing his entire movie cast back to voice their respective characters.
