Jorma Tommila in Sisu: Road to RevengeImage via Screen Gems In less than a week of release at the box office, the new action movie Sisu: Road to Revenge has already broken past the lifetime global hauls of several older movies set during the World War 2 era. Sisu 2 is a sequel to the word-of-mouth hit Sisu, which was released theatrically in 2022, grossing $12 million worldwide. The new movie has grossed around half that amount so far, but is quickly catching up with the recently released drama Nuremberg, and has already overtaken the lifetime global haul of one…

There’s a new Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe, stepping up to take Peter Parker’s role as the protector of New York City. But in a rare twist, this shockingly redesigned symbiote substitute isn’t stealing the spotlight, but trying to convince the world he’s still the same old webslinger… underneath a much, much, much bigger costume. And don’t even ask about the tongue. Mary Jane Watson & Venom Become Marvel’s New Spider-Man Admitting There’s No Better Hero, The Symbiote Duo Recreate Spidey’s Suit Marvel has made no secret of Venom’s new Spidey-inspired costume, but the details surrounding its creation have been…

Although based on the 2020 novel ​‘Box Hill’ by Adam Mars-Jones, Harry Lighton’s Pillion is mostly unrecognisable from its source material, retaining only a few crucial details. Gone is the 1970s Surrey setting, along with the first-person narration and reckoning with queer identity at the height of the AIDS crisis. Kept are the names – Colin and Ray – and the latter’s ties to the local BDSM biker community, but where Mars-Jones’ novel skewed heartbreaking, this loose adaptation is broadly buoyant, as the mild-mannered traffic warden Colin (Harry Melling) finds himself entangled in a dominant/​submissive relationship with the near monosyllabic Ray (Alexander…

Very little has changed in the two years since I wrote a piece here at ScreenCrush that pleaded with the Hollywood studios to release more family films. Prior to last weekend, when we saw Wicked: For Good, it had been months since there had been something we really wanted to watch on the big screen. In fact, the last film we went to see in the theater was the sing-along version of Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters. You know things are grim in multiplexes for families when you go to see something you already have access to at home (and have already seen there many, many times).As a movie-loving dad, I’m lucky if…

Editor’s note: The below recap contains spoilers for Pluribus Episode 5.Happy early Pluribus day! Yes, you read that right — this week’s episode of Vince Gilligan’s Apple TV sci-fi show has dropped a whole two days ahead of schedule, likely in part due to the impending Thanksgiving holiday for those of us celebrating, and likely also to get ahead of the return of another sci-fi streaming show that people will be binging this weekend. Whatever the reason, “Got Milk,” written by Ariel Levine and directed by Gordon Smith, doesn’t waste any time before launching into the immediate ripple effects of…

One-Punch Man’s latest season has sparked greater disappointment than excitement among fans, creating a sense that the series has drifted far away from its original debut ten years ago. It’s become impossible to ignore the series’ current reception from fans, with many sharing more criticisms than praise, prompting the question as to what went wrong. Upon its initial release, One-Punch Man thrilled viewers, generating excitement and buzz among audiences. Now, the series has fallen far from its former glory, standing out for its squandered potential that many fans have become dissatisfied and frustrated with. However, there is one thing that…

Like her short La Bouche De Jean-Pierre (1996) and her features Innocence (2004), Evolution (2015) and Earwig (2021), Lucile Hadžihalilović’s latest, The Ice Tower, offers an unnerving, surreal take on a young person’s coming of age. It begins with a female voiceover narrating part of Hans Christian Andersen’s ​‘The Snow Queen’, accompanied by a fragmented kaleidoscope of snow-globe images (icy mountains, a tower) as though filtered through the distorting prisms of a crystal.Jeanne (Clara Pacini) not only knows ​‘The Snow Queen’ by heart, she also lives in a wintry, Alpine village whose snow white sierra resembles the illustrations from the book, which she regularly reads to…

Bruise Control is a compelling presence in the DIY punk scene, having carved out a distinctive sound that sits between the melodic crunch of ’00s indie and the raw, fast energy of ’80s hardcore. They have gained notoriety for their catalogue of self-produced releases and their reputation for chaotic and electrifying live shows. The band operates as a tight unit focused on creating razor-sharp, hook-filled indie punk, with Niall Griffin (Guitar), Ru Gilfillan (Bass), and Tommy Victor Morris (Drums). Their sound is anchored by lead singer Jim Taylor, whose contributions combine down-to-earth, relatable lyricism with a truly ferocious vocal delivery.”Gone To Ground” is a track…

We know that Spider-Man: Brand New Day takes place in the New York City we saw in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. We also know that Jon Bernthal’s Punisher will appear in the film, along with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk. What we don’t know yet is who the main villain of the film will be — but some clues about the cast, and some early photos from the set give us some very big hints about their identity.In our latest Marvel Cinematic Universe video, we’ll lay out our latest theory about Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s villain, and explain how it connects to Daredevil: Born Again,…
