Matthew Modine has been acting in movies for over 40 years. He started out in the ’80s and ’90s in a string of memorable films, including “Vision Quest,” Alan Parker’s “Birdy” (opposite another talented unknown named Nicolas Cage), Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” and two Robert Altman ensemble dramas, “Streamers” and “Short Cuts.” At 65, after a solid quarter-century … Read more

Week after week, X-Men ’97 keeps exceeding all of my expectations. What could have been a hollow exercise in ’90s nostalgia has turned out to be a terrific show in its own right: Not just a fitting successor to X-Men: The Animated Series, not just a good cartoon but, at least through its first five episodes, one of the … Read more
I like to say that we know our audiences, but our content providers really know their audiences as well. We do rely a lot on social media from here, but we’re owned by AMC, Regal, and Cinemark, and we have pre-approved rights to trailering, movie posters, other theater assets, office handouts, things like that, in … Read more
Stephen McKinley Henderson has no regrets about Thufir Hawat being cut out of Dune: Part Two and confirms we’ll never see those scenes. Stephen McKinley Henderson played Thufir Hawat in Dune, but sadly, the Mentat adviser to House Atreides was nowhere to be found in Dune: Part Two. The actor did shoot scenes for Dune: … Read more
André de Toth fled Hungary before the second world war and relocated to the US where he made westerns and films noir attacking American complacency in its everyday iterations, a more sly, less expressionistic Fritz Lang, who allowed his audience to put together puzzle pieces and see the picture of corruption ourselves (to quote Martin Scorsese, his most … Read more
