Celebrating 30 years of excellency, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is coming back to cinemas in glorious 4K. More details below.
It’s hard to believe that Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction turns 30 years old, but here we are. We’re still convinced that the film came out only a few years ago, but apparently 1994 was 30 years ago. How time flies.
The film is heading back into UK cinemas to celebrate its landmark birthday and this is your chance to see the film in 4K, too. You can catch Pulp Fiction in cinemas from 23rd August.
Pulp Fiction was Tarantino’s second film and arguably lifted the filmmaker from a talent to watch to Hollywood royalty. The film starred John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria de Medeiros, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher Walken and Bruce Willis and they’re pretty excellent too.

“Who is that actor?” It’s probably everyone’s reaction to their first experience of Britain’s Matt Berry. With his booming delivery, and an uncanny ability to draw out every last vowel and consonant from even the dullest of words, Berry has been a cult comic actor in the U.K. for 20 years now. He broke out there in 2012 with Toast of London, a surreal sitcom in which he appeared as the bitter, buffoonish, self-serious thespian Steven Toast. But in 2019, the FX show What We Do in the Shadows took his homegrown appeal overseas, as the shape-shifting 300-year-old vampire Laszlo in the mock-doc comedy show inspired by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s word-of-mouth movie hit from 2014.

Once upon a time, four-time Academy Award-winner Woody Allen was considered one of America's finest filmmakers. There was a realistic and lived-in feeling to his characters, all of whom were armed with a tongue so sharp they could shred a piece of paper into confetti. Allen often acted in his films, and his distinct vocal inflections and pattern of speaking made him a figure like William Shatner, Christopher Walken, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in that just about everyone has a Woody Allen impression. But the now semi-retired filmmaker is known for more than just his filmography, trademark stammer, or repetitive statements — Allen has also been accused of sexually assaulting his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow and made headlines when he married his former partner Mia Farrow's adoptive step-daughter Soon-Yi Previn, despite having known her since she was 10 years old.
To call Woody Allen a controversial figure is a massive understatement, but...

Vince Vaughn is convinced studios want to “overthink” comedies nowadays, especially ones without an IP to fall back on.
The actor — who has appeared in iconic original films such as “Wedding Crashers,” “Old School,” and “Swingers” — explained why there is a lack of modern R-rated comedies in theaters.
“[Studios] just overthink it,” Vaughn said during First We Feast’s “Hot Ones” series. “And it’s like, it’s crazy, you get these rules, like, if you did geometry, and you said 87 degrees was a right angle, then all your answers are messed up, instead of 90 degrees. So there became some idea or concept, like, they would say something like, ‘You have to have an IP.'”
He continued, “The people in charge don’t want to get fired more so than they’re looking to do something great, so they want to kind of follow a set of rules that somehow get set in stone,...

Flashback to a time when Dwayne Johnson was still crossing over from the WWE to major Hollywood films. He was still being billed as “The Rock.” His physique was more muscular than monstrous. Fans and general audiences were finding out that his charismatic mic skills could transfer to fun, charismatic characters on screen. Johnson only had a couple of prior credits with The Mummy Returns and the spin-off The Scorpion King before he made the action comedy The Rundown from director Peter Berg.
2003’s The Rundown was Johnson’s sophomore starring effort and it would lay the groundwork for one of the biggest names in blockbuster movies for a number of years. Now, Kino Lorber will be releasing a new 4K Blu-ray of the film, which co-stars Sean William Scott, Rosario Dawson, Christopher Walken and Ewen Bremner. This new physical media release is expected to hit retailers sometime later this year.

What Do We Know About the second season of Severance? More thank you may think. The AppleTV+ psychological thriller series debuted back in 2022, and fans have been clamoring for the next chapter ever since. With casting announcements, plot twists from the first season, a teaser trailer, and more, we know a lot about what is to come. So, let’s jump in and discuss
Season Two will bring back the main cast
We are assuming that season two will pick up directly where the first concluded, which means Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, Michael Chernus, Dichen Lachman, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette will reprise their roles. With multiple twists and reveals left at the conclusion of the first season, there is more than enough for all of these characters to explore. Expect expanded roles for Dichen Lachman after the season one finale reveal as well,...

This week on the Nightmare on Film Street podcast we explore a close encounter of the 4th kind as depicted in the 1989 cult classic Communion (1989). Starring a truly unparalleled performance from Christopher Walken, this particular alien encounter has become on the most talked about experience in the world of Ufology and gave us the haunting extraterrestrial visage we’ve come to commonly refer to as “The Greys”.
Your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon want to believe but it’s hard to stay focused when you’ve got Christopher Walken dancing around with a raw duck, or when he’s crawling around with a bunch of alien hybrid babies on a spaceship, screaming at a doppelganger of himself dressed as a magician. Communion is a wild ride. Some might even say it’s **drumroll** out this world…

The acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg has been instrumental in creating many landmark films in Hollywood, spanning genres from sci-fi and action-adventure to historical dramas. Among his diverse portfolio, some films resonate with him on a personal level, such as The Fabelmans.

Another standout is the 2002 crime comedy Catch Me If You Can, which Spielberg considers his most complex and personal exploration of a father-son relationship. In a previous interview, he shared that his deep admiration for the story inspired him to take the bold step of bringing it to the big screen.

Frank Herbert’s sandy lore is returning to the screens once again through Dune: Prophecy and the buzz surrounding it couldn’t be stronger. After the majestic success of Denis Villeneuve’s film series based on Herbert’s novel series of the same name, the hype around the saga is still as strong as ever, and fans are hoping for nothing but the best.

That being said, there is one interesting element about this upcoming series that is good news for fans: The fact that the show will be adapting one major arc from the novels about the Imperium. What makes this all the more worth waiting for is that this arc wouldn’t be as minutely adapted as Villeneuve’s saga did and would explore it more widely.

When Duke Leto Atreides took on stewardship of Arrakis, he did so at the behest of the Imperium. The transfer of stewardship featured all manner of pomp, which cost the Imperium “1.46 million and 62 solares,” according to Mentat Thufir Hawat.
Those external shows of extravagance are about all that viewers get to see with the Imperium, in both Dune and its sequel Dune: Part Two. Even when Christopher Walken joined the cast of the second film as Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, he makes only infrequent appearances, surely not enough to flesh out the Imperium’s workings.

Directed by Doug Trumbull, 1983 sci-fi thriller Brainstorm could have been deleted as an insurance write-off – but then a London bank intervened.
When Warner Bros announced its plans to effectively delete the films Batgirl, Scoob 2 and Coyote Vs Acme, the reaction was one of outrage. Studios destroying films as a tax write-off is nothing new, however: on the 21st June 1933, the Charlie Chaplin film A Woman Of The Sea (previously called Sea Gulls) was burned on the steps of Chaplin’s own studio. The five witnesses who saw the negative go up in flames then signed a letter confirming that the film had been lost to history.
A film directed and produced by one of the most important visual effects pioneers of the 20th century almost suffered a similar fate. Brainstorm, which went into production in the early 1980s, was directed by Doug Trumbull and featured a superb cast, including Christopher Walken,...

Natalie Wood was the former child actress who racked up three Oscar nominations before she was 25, Wood’s life ended in a tragedy that often overshadows her movie career. Yet many of her titles remain classics, so let’s take a look back at 15 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Born in 1938 in San Francisco, Wood snagged her first starring role when she was just nine years old in the holiday classic “Miracle on 34th Street” (1947), playing a precocious girl who tugs on Santa Claus’ beard. She earned her first Oscar nomination when she was 17 for the juvenile delinquent drama “Rebel Without a Cause” (Best Supporting Actress in 1955), which made an icon out of James Dean, who died before its release. Wood added two more Best Actress bids to her resume with the romantic melodramas “Splendor in the Grass” (1961) and “Love with the Proper Stranger” (1963).

In addition to Krusty the Clown, Bumblebee Man and, very briefly, Gabbo, one of Springfield’s most famous entertainers is, of course, Rainier Wolfcastle, star of the popular McBain movies, as well as Undercover Nerd and Help! My Son Is a Nerd (it isn’t a comedy).
The McBain franchise, which was first introduced in the second season of The Simpsons, is an action parody smorgasbord containing elements of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, with a healthy dose of every movie Arnold Schwarzenegger ever made — although Schwarzenegger would later rip off Rainier Wolfcastle, so it all evens out in the end.
As we’ve mentioned before, those early clips of McBain were designed to form one cohesive story — a more cohesive one than some real Schwarzenegger movies, to be honest. Fans, in fact, have even edited the scenes together as if it were a real film.

The return to the sinister Lumen Industries now has a release date as well as returning cast members who operate with “severed” personalities outside of Lumen employment and within headquarters.

A teaser for the second season of Severance previews more tension and regret for Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, and John Turturro. Although not much happens in the half-minute or so clip, it gives a sense of how Apple TV+’s pseudo-serious satire of Americans’ inability to achieve a work-life balance could continue when the series returns on Jan. 17.
The clip begins with the four characters donning their company IDs as they enter the elevator, which severs their work life from their personal life. The voiceover replays them reading...

More than two years after its cliffhanger Season 1 finale, Apple TV+ and the employees at Lumon are getting back to work.
On Wednesday, the streaming service announced “Severance” will make its long-awaited return on January 17, 2025. The date announcement was accompanied by a brief teaser that ended with an ominous warning for Mark (Adam Scott) and Helly (Britt Lower) uttered by a new character, played by Gwendoline Christie: “You should’ve never left.”
Here’s the Apple synopsis for the show:
In “Severance,” Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work … and of himself.

Good news: "Severance" is finally returning for season 2! Bad news: it won't return until next year. For reference, the first season of the hit Apple TV+ series dropped in 2022, which feels like several lifetimes ago at this point. And look, I get it — the Hollywood strikes played a part in the delay. But having your second season arrive three full years after season 1 is a little crazy. But at least that gives everyone plenty of time to go back and rewatch season 1 to refresh their memories.
Speaking of memories, "Severance" is a wild show about a group of people who have "surgically divided" their memories between work and home. When they go to work, a whole new mindset kicks in, and when they go home, they have no memory whatsoever of what they did all day. As you might imagine, this leads to complications and moral questions, especially when a new hire makes it very,...

One of the buzziest shows of recent times has to be Apple TV+’s sci-fi psychological thriller series Severance, which came out with its initial season all the way back in 2022. Fans have been restlessly waiting for the second season to come out. They can finally stop waiting because the streaming service has finally revealed the release date for the highly anticipated Season 2, which is coming out next year in January.
Created by Dan Erickson, Severance follows the story of Mark, who leads a team of office workers at the biotechnology corporation Lumon Industries. Mark and his colleagues had their memories surgically divided between their work and personal lives. Things start going haywire when an ex-colleague approaches Mark outside. He is forced to go on a journey to find out what they actually do at Lumon Industries.

After more than two years — and a wildly suspenseful Season 1 cliffhanger — “Severance” is finally back.
Apple TV+ released a teaser for Season 2 of the workplace thriller, which will debut on the streamer on Friday, Jan. 17. The 10-episode season will drop weekly episodes on Fridays after that.
Adam Scott stars as Mark Scout, who works a desk job at a mysterious biotech company known as Lumon. The controversial corporation performs procedures in which employees’ psyches are bifurcated to separate work memories from personal memories, creating Innies (employees’ at-work personas) and Outties (their selves outside of the office). Patricia Arquette stars as the manager of the severed employees, as well as Mark’s next-door neighbor. As the show progresses, Mark makes curious discoveries that call into question the intentions of the company.

Is cinema really gendered? Well, we would like to say no, but reality says otherwise. Although all movies can be enjoyed by both men and women, there are some that are more obviously made for each group.
For example, we know that silly romantic comedies are mostly watched by female audiences looking for love adventures, and hardcore action thrillers are mostly watched by men. But lately, there have been too many movies made for male audiences, and it seems that the creators have forgotten what a perfect male movie should be like.
We're tired of all the modern clichés that famous action actors like Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone bring to the genre, so let's take a look back and talk about these 5 real old manly dramas.

First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: Christopher Walken Gets to Dance and Steve Martin Sings… Sort of?
Known for his BBC TV series “The Singing Detective,” starring Michael Gambon, and “Pennies from Heaven,” which launched the career of Bob Hoskins, British journalist and screenwriter Dennis Potter seemed to have a fascination with the music trapped inside our inner beings. Mixing fantastical musical sequences with harsh dramatic realities, Potter used spectacle to expose his characters’ complex natures, as well as the complex nature of the world around them, with biting wit and stunning inventiveness.

In a candid conversation on Shannen Doherty‘s Let’s Be Clear podcast, acclaimed actress Katherine Heigl opened up about the controversy around her decision not to submit herself for an Emmy nomination in 2008 in her tenure on the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.
Heigl, who had previously won an Emmy for her portrayal of Dr. Izzie Stevens, found herself at the center of a media storm after her comments regarding the lack of material she received that season. However, the actress now seeks to set the record straight and dispel the notion that she had outright “turned down” the nomination.
“I didn’t turn it down,” Heigl clarified. “You have to submit yourself. You have to submit your work, and then they deliberate and then they decide if they want to give you a nomination. I just didn’t submit my work that year.”

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on Ranker, whose goal was to determine the best TV shows in the last five years. The list includes more than 600 titles, but in our report, we have decided to list the top ten series from the site to provide you with better insight, combined with our original comments and opinions, which will add flavor to the whole report.
Of course, since this is indeed an important list, we have decided to report on it, so we are going to bring you the results by listing the top 10 series on this list, from 10th to first place. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Sony’s comic book film Madame Web launched to derision in February. We take a look at what went wrong with a potentially interesting thriller…
Spoilers lie ahead – and lots of them – for Madame Web.
Much has already been written about Sony’s Spider-Man-adjacent calamity Madame Web following its initial cinema release on the 14th February this year. But because of the breakneck pace the modern cultural world moves at, it already feels as though the conversation has moved on; director Sj Clarkson’s comic book supernatural thriller made its streaming debut in May and barely made a ripple.
This is unfortunate, because number one, Madame Web deserves some sort of cult status for its sheer oddness. And number two, it deserves to be studied as a cautionary example of what not to do if you want to tell a coherent, engrossing story.
So what’s wrong with Madame Web,...

Austin Butler is making a name for himself not just as a talented up-and-coming star, but as a man with a penchant for weird voices. Much like his "The Bikeriders" co-star Tom Hardy (a man who's given us a smorgasbord of weird voices in his time), Butler is showing promise as a master of what Hardy termed the "vocal silhouette." His "Dune: Part Two" voice simply demands further examination, for example, but it was his complete transformation for Baz Luhrman's "Elvis" that gave us the most significant vocal tone. In fact, Butler basically reinvented himself as the King of Rock n' Roll for the movie. After a five-month audition that was unlike any other for "Elvis," he disappeared into the character for three years and claimed to lose touch with who he really was by the end of it.
Still, all that dedication seems to have been worth it. Butler...

It’s not a done deal and nothing has been formally announced, but it sure looks like we just got a release date for “Dune: Part Three.”
Warner Bros. on Friday issued an update to its theatrical distribution calendar, swapping out an “untitled WB Family Event Film” for what is now an “Untitled WB/Legendary/Denis Villeneuve Event Film in IMAX.” It will open on December 18, 2026.
We’re no detectives, let alone the Lisan al-Gaib, but our intuition from the spice tells us this is almost cetrainly another “Dune” movie. And no, Villeneuve isn’t planning a family film either.
Reps for Warner Bros. and Legendary declined to comment.
Villeneuve has been talking about a potential threequel incessantly, even before “Dune: Part Two” turned out to be a hit. Zendaya has also said she’s ready to go whenever Villeneuve decides to call.

Quentin Tarantino‘s 1994 sophomore feature Pulp Fiction wasn’t just a major break out hit. It changed the face of cinema in the 1990s, both by helping bring attention to indie and foreign films, and by inspiring a host imitators. When audiences lined up to watch Tarantino’s bloody, whip-smart movie, studios rushed to fill theaters and video stores with more stories about loquacious hitmen, monologuing bank robbers, and foul-mouthed gun molls.
In most cases, these knockoffs provided cheap thrills, heavy on the violence and pop-cultural references but low on Tarantino’s sense of composition and ear for unique dialogue.

Rules are made to be broken. Probably this belief is the main reason why so many creative things happen in the world. Especially we love how the movie industry changes thanks to it: the genres get mixed, the stories get more and more complicated, and the outcome is often very unpredictable.
One of the gifts of creative thinking is definitely the existence of dark comedies, and we think whoever is responsible for their creation is a genius. So here is the list of the 5 best dark comedies that may or may not feel guilty about laughing at.

By this point, we all know how fortunate we are that we got to see Denis Villenueve's two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi novel "Dune" in its entirety.
