The official synopsis from Bleecker Street for “Wild Mountain Thyme” reads: “John Patrick Shanley, who created the classic ‘Moonstruck,’ brings his sweeping romantic vision to Ireland with ‘Wild Mountain Thyme.’ The headstrong farmer Rosemary Muldoon (Emily Blunt) has her heart set on winning her neighbor Anthony Reilly’s love. The problem is Anthony (Jamie Dornan) seems to have inherited a family curse, and remains oblivious to his beautiful admirer. Stung by his father Tony’s (Christopher Walken) plans to sell the family farm to his American nephew (Jon Hamm), Anthony is jolted into pursuing his dreams in this comedic, moving, and wildly romantic tale....

Emmett Till was murdered just days after he left Chicago to visit relatives in Mississippi during the summer of 1955. His “crime”: allegedly flirting with a white woman.

Gadot is joined by co-stars from the first film, including Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, and Robin Wright, plus a pair of fresh new villains in the form of franchise newbies Kristen Wiig as Cheetah and Pedro Pascal as Max Lord. While the DC Extended Universe entry brings back plenty of the elements that made Jenkins’ original “Wonder Woman” such a smash hit back in 2017 — with Jenkins back behind the camera, and Gadot, Pine, and Wright in front of it — the filmmakers have said this is not a traditional sequel, but instead just another “chapter” in the evolving story of Wonder Woman....

“From my perspective, it was truly a love letter to professional wrestling,” Johnson said. “These men were, in essence, my superheroes.” To that end, Khan said viewers should expect numerous cameos from actors playing wrestlers of old. “Young Rock” will mark the first time many of these wrestlers have been portrayed on television and because of that, the actor reached out to the families of all the wrestlers referenced to let them know the portrayals would be positive....

“I just couldn’t really get my teeth into it,” Snyder said. “Over the pandemic, I had a deal with Warner Bros. and I wrote what was essentially going to be the final chapter in ‘300.’ But when I sat down to write it I actually wrote a different movie. I was writing this thing about Alexander the Great, and it just turned into a movie about the relationship between Hephaestion and Alexander....

The Western Frontier narrative is one that can’t be told without including the Native American experience, yet it’s a perspective from which these particular stories are rarely expressed, especially in the mainstream. Even the official synopsis for “1883” uses the phrase “the last bastion of untamed America” to describe this final destination. But what does “untamed” mean for the civilization that populated those lands for centuries? It is this lack of consideration that almost singlehandedly renders “1883” disappointing....

Late star Alan Rickman, who famously played Professor Snape in all eight “Harry Potter” movies from 2001 to 2011, said he considered parting ways with the franchise ahead of 2004’s “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” directed by Alfonso Cuarón. In diary excerpts released more than six years after Rickman’s 2016 death from prostate cancer, Rickman is revealed to have written that he had second thoughts about the franchise while working on sequel “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets....
