Jamie Lee Curtis shares the perfect response to LeBron James’ ‘Halloween Ends’ praise

Aside from his golden status as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, it turns out that LeBron James occasionally places his signature sneakers to the side and enjoys time as a passionate moviegoer. And while the entire world has been absolutely bulldozing Halloween Ends, the four-time MVP champion has nothing but praise for the latest horror flick — which star Jamie Lee Curtis is certainly ecstatic to hear.

Over on her official Instagram account, Curtis shared a screenshot of a recent tweet from LeBron, where he applauded Curtis’ performance as memorable final girl Laurie Strode and declared her as a total “badass.” In response, the Halloween veteran shared adoration for “King James” and insisted that the “Queen,” which refers to Curtis’ status as a scream queen, appreciates his kind words.

Review: ‘Black Adam’ doesn’t so much soar as gently levitate, but there’s still fun to be had

There arguably isn’t a single more risk-averse star in Hollywood than Dwayne Johnson, who almost exclusively dabbles in the realm of $100+ million blockbusters where he only plays extensions of himself. Black Adam may tick a couple of the boxes we’ve come to expect from The Rock’s filmography, but the latest chapter in the DCEU’s greatest strength is that its leading man fully embraces the rare opportunity to deliberately play against type.

Having spent 15 years trying to get the movie made, there’s no doubting Johnson’s commitment to the cause. However, all that talk in the buildup of “changing the hierarchy of power” began to wear a little thin. Black Adam isn’t the game-changer we’d been conditioned to expect, but nor is it an outright failure, either.

DC just cancelled a hugely popular hero’s movie, and yet nobody’s mourning it

DC has just quietly axed another upcoming solo movie for a popular comic book character, but the odd thing is this one seems to have avoided inflaming angry fans. Reams of DC projects have been canned as part of the massive Warner Bros. Discovery turnover, and each disappointing announcement has earned the ire of once loyal lovers of the franchise. Except the latest, it seems, although perhaps its the easily missed method by which the news was announced that’s allowed it to fly under the radar.

The movie in question is the Zatanna film that was in development over at HBO Max. The first movie outing for DC’s stage-performing sorceress had previously garnered a lot of positive buzz thanks to Promising Young Woman‘s Emerald Fennell being attached to provide the script. However, in an article examining the overall state of the DCEU, The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that Zatanna is among the streaming exclusives that have been “scrapped” by new CEO David Zaslav.

Marvel maniacs split on whether an axed X-Men favorite should stick around

Before the time when Disney ruled all, there was a future planned for the X-Men universe that never came to be. Now, Marvel fans are wondering whether Kevin Feige plans on sticking with one casting choice that, despite finalized, never got to strut his stuff as mutant Gambit.

We’re talking, of course, about Channing Tatum, who was officially linked to play the superpowered magician in FOX’s X-Men franchise. The actor reportedly worked on the movie for four and a half years, but when Disney bought FOX in 2019, all his plans were turned to dust, which greatly upset Tatum.

For once ‘Star Wars’ fans laugh with the sequel trilogy rather than at it

Disney’s Star Wars sequel trilogy wasn’t an out-and-out disaster, but the fan consensus is that they fumbled the ball. After getting off to a decent start with The Force Awakens, they took a left-turn with The Last Jedi, and catastrophically over-corrected with the terrible The Rise of Skywalker. We suppose that’s what you get when you set out to make a trilogy of movies without deciding the story in advance.

The last entry in particular is widely mocked by fans, particularly the cringeworthy scene in which Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron tells the Rebels “somehow Palpatine has returned”. Oof.

Viral trend sees horror fans revealing their personalities through their favorite spooky spectacles

Horror fans are flocking to Twitter as another viral trend emerges. While its origins are unknown, the “10 horror movies to get to know me” trend is taking over as fans list off their all-time favorite horror features, ranging from cult classics to modern reinventions. Right in time for Halloween, the trend has seen hundreds of participants who are eager to share a piece of themselves in the form of their most beloved spooky flicks.

Gone are the days of the personality theory, created by Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs, where INFP and INFJ are among some 16 available personality types. Instead, the modern age has evolved further, choosing to decide their personalities based on their taste in horror films.

After seeing ‘Halloween Ends,’ fans are willing to cut Rob Zombie a break

One of the most difficult tasks to achieve in the aggregate of cinema is crafting a worthy sequel that lives up to the same vibrance as its predecessor. Although the task itself is challenging enough in the broad ticket, it can prove to be even more strenuous when it relates to the massive horror genre, which is certainly chock-full of lackluster sequels that flatlined upon release. While a collective of horror junkies will happily dissect a disastrous continuation, others will bite their tongues and offer up praise for underrated gems, including Rob Zombie’s Halloween II from 2009.

In the aftermath of Halloween Ends’ worldwide release, franchise veterans have collectively panned David Gordon Green’s newest feature, which many believe completely disconnects from prior Halloween films and contains a plethora of pointless plot points. As a result, the horror-loving masses have joined together to shower praise for Zombie’s bizarre and blood-soaked follow-up. Many fans have now hailed the film as superior to Halloween Ends.

Horror fans are willing to die on the hill of defending sequels, even if they know they’re terrible

No infamous and immortal horror franchise is complete without some lackluster sequels. As always, the original is favored above the mediocre attempts at continuation. Eventually, after around three or four sequels, the whole endeavor feels tainted — like beating a dead horse. Sometimes, once in a blue moon, a sequel will match or if not surpass the resounding success of its predecessor, even if it takes a few tries to achieve as such. With these subpar sequels, there comes faithful fanatics who would happily die on the hill of defending them, even if they’re complete and undeniable stinkers.

We’re well aware that horror franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th and Child’s Play have been around since the ’70s and ’80s, continuously pumping out sequels without a single care for the storyline itself and instead a full focus on the money-making potential. As the film industry has taught us well, if there’s an audience for something, it sells. Sadly, many franchises have been done to death, but greedy corporations will kill an idea until it’s six feet under so long as it draws in a profit. Thankfully, there will always be fans whose guilty pleasures are awful follow-ups.

DC fans want ‘Black Adam’ to succeed for reasons that have nothing to do with the movie

Black Adam finally arrives on Friday, marking the end of an incredibly long period in development that began when Dwayne Johnson first expressed an interest in playing the character way back in November 2007. 15 years (and many scripts) later the film is here, but many dedicated DC fans are hoping for it to be a hit not because they care about the character, but because of what it might mean for behind-the-scenes decisions.

Unlike the majority of superhero blockbusters, Black Adam stars a bona fide A-lister with a lot of influence across the industry. Johnson has been quite open about how he’s used his star power to put pressure on Warner Bros. to make the movie he wanted, particularly in having an appearance from Henry Cavill’s Superman.

LFF Review: ‘The Wonder’ is a windswept fable of female empowerment that demands investment

Tempestuous, windswept, and allegorical are just a few words which spring to mind when it comes to The Wonder. A faith-driven character piece starring Florence Pugh and directed by Sebastian Lelio (Disobedience), which calls into question the role of power and belief in contemporary society.  

Adapted by Alice Birch (Normal People) from Emma Donoghue’s novel, The Wonder debates science versus religion alongside media’s influence on public perception. As Lib Wright, an English nurse paid handsomely to watch Anna O’Donnell (Kila Lord Cassidy), Pugh is nothing short of magnetic on screen. Armed with medical training, but beset on all sides by the blinkered beliefs of an isolated Irish community, the film requires audiences to invest.

An unfairly neglected horror flop develops a murderously unhealthy streaming obsession

No offense intended to the actor, but the presence of Vinnie Jones playing a major role in a movie is hardly a guarantee of quality. That being said, 2008 horror The Midnight Meat Train is one of the genre’s more neglected hidden gems, and even ranks as the best-reviewed film in the former soccer player’s career that wasn’t directed by Guy Ritchie.

Given that he’s now one of the biggest stars in the business that’s racked up countless box office behemoths and nine Academy Award nominations, watching Bradley Cooper play the damsel in distress in a low-budget slasher is strange when viewed through a 2022 mindset, but that doesn’t mean the haunting subterranean frightener isn’t worth your time.

One of the most disappointing outcomes for a mega-hyped horror film is the possibility of the end scenario failing to live up to heaps of expectation. And while this occurrence can unequivocally happen within any cinematic genre, the latest movie under the microscopic lens is Halloween Ends — which has apparently already caused a plethora of fans to hold their breath and await sheer disappointment.

However, many horror junkies on Twitter certainly have much to say about the looming third entry in the trilogy, with many concerned that the movie’s embargo being lifted so close to actual showtime is a major point of concern.

The opening scene of ‘Halloween’ is still ‘seared’ into the mind of this franchise star

John Carpenter’s 1978 genre masterpiece Halloween is renowned as one of the most beloved horror classics in cinematic history. And while Carpenter’s slasher masterpiece has reached this status for several reasons, it’s hard to deny that the bone-chilling opening sequence, in which a young Michael Myers makes his first kill, is the driving force behind a lot of people’s fears.

Unfortunately for him (and us) said character was the excruciatingly annoying Jar Jar Binks.

Binks’ quasi-racist slapstick was met with instant disgust and he’s widely considered to be one of the worst characters in Star Wars. Best was clearly deeply affected by the avalanche of hatred for Binks, saying in 2018 that it got so bad he contemplated suicide:

The Merc with a Mouth’s long-awaited Marvel Cinematic Universe debut had been riding an unstoppable wave of momentum since the internet broke in half at the news Hugh Jackman would be strapping on the claws one more time to return as Wolverine, so all things considered it’s not too bad that Shawn Levy’s threequel has been moved from September 6 to November 8 of 2024.

A star-studded thriller that tried and failed to be all things at once dishes out tough justice on Netflix

Biting off more than you can chew might have descended into cliche a long time ago, but there’s a reason why; it’s a phrase that applies to every single aspect of our existence.

Director Joe Roth tries to incorporate strands of mystery thriller, police procedural, intimate drama, social parable, media intrusion, and an examination of racial tensions all at once, only for a 23 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and 25 percent user rating to put an exclamation point on how badly it missed the mark on all fronts.
