The Boys Breaking Down The Grotesque Vfx Spectacle In Season 2

While Episode 3’s speedboat chase through a gigantic whale (with CG courtesy of Industrial Light & Magic) has gained the most attention, the most challenging and hideous VFX can be found in Episode 6 (“The Bloody Doors Off”).

The Good Lord Bird Review Showtime Ethan Hawke Exults John Brown

So hearing the soft intonation of Ethan Hawke’s wild-eyed, scraggly haired John Brown — looking exactly like a man about to arrive at the literal end of his rope — speak so sincerely about the country that put him there is a striking starting point for “The Good Lord Bird,” a limited series based on James McBride’s 2013 novel that reminds audiences what a bonafide patriot looks like, sounds like, and, most importantly, acts like....

The Misfits Review Pierce Brosnan Stars In Terrible Ocean S Ripoff

Not that we shouldn’t have seen this coming. There’s a fine line between vintage and overripe, and Harlin — who made a name for himself with generational texts like “The Long Kiss Goodnight” and “Deep Blue Sea” before absconding to China when his brand fell out of fashion — has been stuck on the wrong side of it for more than a decade now. That was easy enough to sweep under the rug when the popcorn auteur was working in another language halfway around the world, but “The Misfits” finds him inching back toward Hollywood in a way that shines a horribly garish light on his outmoded tendencies....

The Mosquito Coast Trailer Apple Tv Sends Justin Theroux Runnin

The actor, who last led HBO’s critically acclaimed drama “The Leftovers” and co-starred in the Netflix limited series “Maniac,” will soon be seen in “The Mosquito Coast,” a new series from Apple TV+ about a family who flees to Mexico when the U.S. government comes a’ callin’. Theroux plays the patriarch, eccentric inventor, and idealist Allie Fox, who film fans may associate with Harrison Ford — in the 1986 movie of the same name — but the story originated in 1981 as a novel by Paul Theroux, who just so happens to be Justin’s uncle....
