Anybody who watched the beloved teen dramaOne Tree Hillknows that the show came with its fair share of heartache. Characters and audiences alike mourned the losses of Keith Scott, Quentin Fields, and even Dan Scott, and we followed their loved ones’ journeys of grief. One death, however, provided one of the best portrayals of mourning on television through the loss of Lydia James (Bess Armstrong). Adored and vivacious mother of Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz), Quinn (Shantel VanSanten), and Taylor (Lindsey McKeon), Lydia was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer late in Season 7 and passed away a few episodes later with her daughters by her side....

A few years ago, someone put together a trailer supercut that assembled all of the footage from Sony’sThe Amazing Spider-Maninto one trailer, proving that the studio had essentially already given away at least 75% of the film in its marketing. It was a fascinating experiment, and one that hopefully led studios to be more careful about what and how much they show in the trailers for their films, and now it’s being put to the test once more with Lucasfilm and Disney’sRogue One: A Star Wars Story....

It’s difficult to invest in the trailer forSame Kind of Different as Me, which released today. Yes, it sheds light on the homeless and offers them humanity when they’re virtually written off by society, but the footage has the music, marital drama, and religious indicators lingering in the backdrop that one might expect from a cliched faith-based film about miracles and turning to God. That said, the film touts some well-known names and a based-in-reality story that is a little difficult to believe....

During a time when the coronavirus pandemic is ravaging every part of our lives, turning normal activities into something out of a Hollywood thriller, what I’m craving from my entertainment right now is… a Hollywood thriller literally about the coronavirus pandemic? Hmm. Well. ProducerMichael Baymay not have read the room exactly correct, but he and his filmmaking team certainly did explode the room withSongbird, a film about the pandemic, made during the pandemic....

Star Trekhas had an unusual road to its fandom. It began as a short-lived television series, and yet it’s a highly influential and long lasting franchise that has spawned four sequel series and thirteen motion pictures. These two formats can be incredibly different, both in terms of tenor and tone, despite taking place in the same universe with the same casts. It is, to quote Mr. Spock, “fascinating.” Some make the case that this is a story that deserves to be told on a cinematic canvas, while others argue thatTrekis best served as an episodic series....

But there’s a bright side to the gloomy reviews that have emerged forSuicide Squadso far! Though the majority of critics, including our ownMatt Goldberg, found the antihero film to be lacking, there are a number of other reviewers out there who found plenty of positive things to say....

What is a neo-western, anyhow? Well, usually, the word “neo” is just a fancy way of saying “new” or “contemporary.” So, neo-western describes a subgenre of film, consisting of modern variations of old western themes.This subgenre often includes rebellious protagonists of theanti-herosort, vast landscapes, and rugged scenery, and occasionally features a strong dose of violence and gun-fighting. Many characters in neo-westerns struggle with feeling somewhat displaced by their current surroundings, with their way of life being antiquated for the modern time....

There are some shows on TV that you can watch while doing other things, whether that be chores, work, or scrolling on your phone, as many of us are guilty of. Even if it is wrong, some are simple enough that you can still follow the narrative without your complete attention.The Bearis certainly not one of those shows.Every shot and scene inThe Bearis crucial to the storyand framed beautifully by cinematographerAndrew Wehde....
