Still theorizing about every little thing you saw in “WandaVision” potentially being an Easter Egg? Same. The Emmy-nominated series has wrapped up, but there are definitely episodes that still have some fans puzzled, and the great thing about streaming is that you can always go back and re-watch episodes. The first Marvel series for Disney+ follows Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff (aka Scarlet Witch) and Paul Bettany’s Vision (aka the humanoid super-computer who seemingly died in “Avengers: Infinity War”) living in wedded, suburban sitcom bliss through the decades....

Longtime “Fast” franchise helmed Lin abruptly announced his exit from the 10th film, “Fast X,” last week, mere days into the start of production. While he insisted the exit was amicable, a new report out of The Hollywood Reporter tells a different story.

When Heather Matarazzo’s indelible film debut “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” went to the Sundance Film Festival in 1996, the young star didn’t attend. “I didn’t go,” she told IndieWire during a recent interview. “Sony wouldn’t pay for me.” Now, it’s hard to imagine a breakout star of Matarazzo’s caliber, let alone the lead of a Grand Jury Prize winner, not being feted in the mountains of Park City. At the time — and, as a tween herself — she wasn’t fazed by the decision on the part of distributor Sony Pictures Classics....

Both awards groups honored Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s animated immigration saga “Flee” (Neon) with their top honors, while the Danish International Feature Oscar contender’s fellow Oscar nominee “Summer of Soul” (Searchlight/Hulu) notched three IDA awards: Rookie filmmaker Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson won for Best Director, Best Music Documentary, and Best Editing. Oscar nominee Jessica Kingdon’s “Ascension,” an observational look at the class structure in China, won three Cinema Eye Honors awards, the most of the evening, for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography, Original Score and Debut Feature....
