    Knives Out 2 Has a Title

    Rian Johnson has revealed the title of his Knives Out sequel, posting the update on Twitter. Knives Out was released in 2019 to widespread cheers, unlike Johnson’s divisive Star Wars sequel, The Last Jedi. The film featured an all-star cast led by reluctant James Bond icon Daniel Craig.

    Marvel’s Miniseries Mistakes and How to Fix Them

    The TV miniseries is perhaps the most unsung of the motion picture formats. A sort of middle ground between the short-form movie and the much longer traditional television show – even ones that only last a single season – the miniseries is a potent tool for visual storytelling despite its marginalization.

    The Daily Wire’s first original movie, Shut In, was released on Thursday, and it’s a pretty big deal. It’s one of a very small number of films that are being released outside of mainstream Hollywood. Now, while that may be a cause for concern (see any SyFy channel movie ever), Daily Wire is smart, and…

    REVIEW: Death on the Nile (2022)

    Death on the Nile is Kenneth Branagh’s sequel to his daring reimagining of Murder on the Orient Express. This film burst onto screens this weekend to lackluster critic reviews and resounding praise from fans. Murder on the Orient Express wowed audiences back in 2017, sparking a new interest in the world of Agatha Christie’s original…
