When you have a hit film these days, inevitably the question always arises about a sequel. There’s very little studios love more than a bit of valuable IP, and the pressure to turn standalone stories into franchises, regardless of their suitability, has never been more apparent. After the success of 2019’s Ready or Not (which received positive reviews and made an impressive return on its budget) a sequel seemed all but mandated, despite the fact that everyone from the original film – aside from Samara Weaving’s unfortunate bride Grace MacCaullay – had been killed off. The sequel was officially confirmed in 2024, adapted from…

Really Good Time are building serious momentum following a breakout run that included SXSW showcases, a sold-out headline show at Whelan’s in Dublin, and high-profile support slots with Franz Ferdinand and The Murder Capital. Their transformation into a leaner power trio after lineup changes has sparked renewed interest, with tastemaker attention including praise on BBC 6 Music’s Roundtable. The band’s explosive festival performances — including Iggy Pop’s “In the Meadows” — have amplified word-of-mouth buzz. Streaming traction and growing live demand are positioning them as one of Ireland’s most ferocious emerging acts. “Bob Dylan Was On Pawn Stars in 2010”…

Making a TV show is expensive… but so is canceling one. ABC stands to lose a lot of money — tens of millions, it turns out — from pulling Season 22 of The Bachelorette from air.If the network keeps its 22nd season of the long-running reality dating show shelved for good, it could lose $30 million or more.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show costs roughly $2 million per episode to produce, with a typical season production cost upward of $25 million.In addition, the network has already likely spent several million dollars in marketing and advertising, while simultaneously losing potential…

One of the challenges the Academy Awards has had in recent years is the perception that it’s slow, arthouse-type films that get recognized most years. Although not always the case, films like Nomadland and CODA push the belief. If you’re looking for a near-perfect movie that challenges this, check out 2010’s Best Picture Winner The Hurt Locker before it leaves Netflix. Director Kathryn Bigelow uses her passion for thrillers, already shown in Near Dark and Point Break, to create a movie as tense as those but even more so because of the realism involved. War films aren’t for everyone, but…

Channeling the spirits of movies like Mean Girls and The Craft, Forbidden Fruits follows a group of young women working at a mall as they fight over group control, seek belonging, and experiment with withcraft. It’s a whimsical send-up of mall life where a coven operates out of a hip store’s fitting rooms. But director and co-writer Meredith Alloway also keeps a keen eye on the dynamics between the characters, the way they manipulate one another and use their need for friendship into a weapon for punishment. The spookiest parts of the film isn’t witchcraft at all, it’s what we’re capable of doing to each other. Apple (Lili Reinhart), Cherry (Victoria Pedretti) and Fig…

Ah, Letterboxd. The only not-monstrous social media platform. For movie lovers, Letterboxd is an oasis of sanity in a crazy world.It’s also a great way to distract oneself from the horrors on every other social media app. One of my favorite Letterboxd time wasters is clicking to the “Films” tab and then looking at users’ favorite and least favorite movies during certain time periods by sorting the site’s massive database by “Average Rating,” either highest or lowest first.By comparing the lowest results for the second half of the 2010s and the first half of the 2020s I was able to create this list of…

In the opening moments of Pretty Lethal, from writer Kate Freund and director Vicky Jewson, there’s no question that the ballerinas at the center of this story are complete badasses. Feet bones are crunching, blood drips from ballet shoes, and yet, these dancers keep going like it’s nothing, completely used to the pain they’re suffering. It’s the type of intro that could give noted ballet skeptic Timothée Chalamet cold sweats. Pretty Lethal is much like its beginning scene: brutal underneath a veneer of beauty and grace. While the film looks like it could be a cute action movie without guts,…
