Martin Campbell has reflected on his critically maligned DC outing and has celebrated the film’s one true success. Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds as the test pilot Hal Jordan, who is selected to become a member of the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps. Based on a script by Arrowverse mastermind Greg Berlanti and comic book writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, the finished screenplay was later rewritten by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix scribe Michael Goldenberg. Taking almost 14 years to develop, high expectations for the film were ultimately let down, with audiences criticizing the film’s writing, poor use of CGI, and departures from the original comic source material. Since its 2011 release, even Reynolds himself has constantly heaped scorn upon the film, even famously making Green Lantern jokes in his two Deadpool outings. Currently, the film holds a dismal 26% critical score on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes and is noted as being "noisy, overproduce...

Star Al Madrigal says the Spider-Man spinoff isn't as bad as everyone claims and was weakened by overzealous editors. Morbius was released on April 1, 2022 to overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences, with many taking issue with the screenplay, outdated effects, and flat performances. However, the film still grossed over $150 million at the box office, with the movie coming away profitable after being made on an $83 million dollar budget. Morbius follows Dr. Morbius (Jared Leto) who is afflicted with transgenic vampirism after trying to cure his rare blood disease. The film also stars Matt Smith as Morbius' best friend, who suffers from the same disease, as well as Madrigal as Alberto Rodriguez, an FBI agent hunting Morbius. Despite lackluster reviews and box office receipts, Sony still plans to feature the character in its upcoming Spider-Man shared universe. Madrigal talks about how, in his opinion, the film wasn't as bad as most people claim it is. He...

Blackbeard and his crew will very likely be the final villains in One Piece's epic saga. They have been absent from the scenes for a while, with fans speculating about their next action, but the best-selling manga has teased that the Blackbeard Pirates have finally made their move, which will have enormous consequences for the world of One Piece. Fans speculated that Marshal D. Teach's next objective would be the Road Poneglyph owned by Big Mom and kept in her base on Whole Cake Island. With the Empress away to fight alongside Kaido on Wano Island with some of her most powerful children, and her kingdom still reeling from the Straw Hat Pirates' recent blitz to save Sanji, this would be the best time for Blackbeard to invade Whole Cake and steal the Poneglyph. This would put him one step closer to reaching Laugh Tale and becoming the Pirate King. The latest series of One Piece's cover stories (supplemental stories told through the cover pages of select chapters) is set o...

The beloved Sonic the Hedgehog Saturday morning cartoon is getting a long-awaited unofficial third season created by a fan-funded nonprofit called TEAM SEA3ON that is not affiliated with SEGA. The original show, commonly referred to by fans as Sonic SatAM, ran for two seasons on ABC in 1993-94 before it was canceled prematurely on a cliffhanger. Sonic SatAM was a much darker and mature version of the Blue Blur. Set on the planet Mobius, this version of Sonic centered on anthropomorphic animals that once prospered in the mighty Kingdom of Acorn before their ally Dr. Robotnik and his nephew Snively betrayed them and forced them to flee into the woods. As Robotnik converted the prosperous kingdom into the dystopian city of Robotropolis, Princess Sally Acorn formed the Freedom Fighters to stop Dr. Robotnik's quest for world domination as he roboticized the planet's inhabitants into his robotic slaves. The series' new continuation will pick up where the last episode of Sonic S...

The average reader, there may be little to no connection between Batman's frequent ward, Robin, and the legendary Robin Hood, beyond sharing a first name, of course. But alas, the two are far more intrinsically linked to each other than even the average DC reader may understand. Then again, maybe that in itself is the problem, considering they are so different despite how the former was inspired by the latter. Robin Hood is the classic literary outlaw who lives and dies by the mantra of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. The famous Batman sidekick, meanwhile, is just that. Robin, in all of his forms, incarnations, and secret identities, serves as the trusty assistant and confidante to the World's Greatest Detective. The foundation for this familial friendship first begins inside Detective Comics #38 by Bill Finger and Bob Kane where Dick Grayson makes his debut as The Boy Wonder. He adopts the Robin nickname once narration introduces his transformation as Dick becom...

A cursed game that forces one to make deadly choices is a promising premise for a horror franchise that could tap into the cultural zeitgeist like The Ring and reach the same popularity levels as Final Destination. Alas, Choose or Die — Toby Meakins' feature debut from a screenplay he co-wrote with Simon Allen and Matthew James Wilkinson — falls short of expectations. Choose or Die follows a young coder, Kayla (Iola Evans), who starts up a lost '80s choose-your-own-adventure horror game, unleashing a curse that impacts her reality. The film is evil Jumanji for those familiar with the newest films starring Dwayne Johnson and Karen Gillan. Kayla is struggling to make ends meet, so the chance to win unclaimed reward money from an old relic of a video game becomes too enticing to give up. However, when she is forced to watch a waitress eat glass, she quickly realizes that she is in the clutches of evil that can alter reality. Netflix’s latest horror venture falls apart in almost ...

The NHL regular season is coming to an end and the playoff picture is starting to come into focus. In the East, the top eight teams appear to be set, with Boston fighting with Tampa Bay for the third spot in the Atlantic Division. The Washington Capitals have a firm grip on the final Wild Card slot, but are also attempting to chase down their arch rivals the Pittsburgh Penguins for third place in the Metropolitan Division. The race for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference is coming down to the wire. The Vegas Golden Knights are hoping a late season push will propel them into the playoffs once again. Otherwise, one of the league's newest teams will face a regular season exit for the first time in franchise history.  They currently sit just three points behind Dallas for a playoff spot, while Vancouver and Winnipeg are just a few points behind Vegas and remain in the hunt. Those looking to see how it all shakes out in the last few weeks of the season will have to rememb...

Newsletter sponsorship, and how can it work for your brand? Here’s what you need to know to make the most of this tactic. Advertising has changed a lot over the years. Gone are the days of promoting your business with a few commercials or well-placed billboards. Now, with the rise in digital advertising, it’s getting harder than ever to compete with high-budget brands. That’s why many advertisers are turning to newsletter sponsorship campaigns to stand out from competitors. With newsletter sponsorships, you can reach your audience directly in the inbox, bypassing ad blockers and achieving higher engagement. What is a newsletter sponsorship? A newsletter sponsorship is a paid advertisement in an email newsletter. Compared to an online or social media ad, a newsletter sponsorship tends to be incorporated more natively into the reader experience. In fact, some publishers will even cater their organic content to fit with each sponsorship partner. However, sponsorship for...

Lily Sheen is grateful for her supportive parents — even if they might have envisioned a different path for her. The 23-year-old daughter of actors Michael Sheen and Kate Beckinsale plays the child of a movie star in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, her first major movie role. Her character Addy is the daughter of Nick Cage (a fictionalized version of Nicolas Cage), who struggles to connect with her while searching for his next big project. Speaking with PEOPLE for this week's issue, Lily says her own experiences growing up with parents in the spotlight contrasts Massive Talent's storyline. Of course there are definitely similarities, obviously. But I think what really opened the character up for me, as an actor, was to start noting the differences, she explains. Seeing what would my life be like if my parents hadn't been this way, if they hadn't been as loving and supportive of me, and of the person that I wanted to be. That was really exciting for me to be abl...

There are a number of streaming services out there with a host of original and library content, but sometimes it can be hard to see what sets the streaming services apart. When it comes to Hulu, they not only have a robust lineup of original series that are excellent but also a number of library TV shows that you can only find on this particular streaming service. Drama Movies on HBO When HBO Max first launched, most were excited about the streaming service’s library of HBO TV shows and major Warner Bros. blockbuster films. But if there’s one thing both HBO and Warner Bros. are known for, it’s making great dramas. So the selection of drama movies available on HBO Max – both from Warner Bros. and from other studios – is unsurprisingly dense and high in quality. They range from new releases to unforgettable 90s movies to bona fide classics, and they’re all guaranteed to hit that “drama” sweet spot when you’re looking for it. But you may be daunted by all the options available, so we’ve u...

Production for Hallmark’s Color My World With Love has just recently wrapped and, according to a report by ET Online, the romance follows a lead character with Down Syndrome and her journey to love. Actress Lily D. Moore (Never Have I Ever) plays Kendall, an artist with Down syndrome who paints in an impressionist style that mirrors reality the way she sees it. Kendall is a joyful and flourishing girl thanks in great part to her doting mother Emma, played by Erica Durance (Smallville) and her grandmother Bev, played by Karen Kruper (Chesapeake Shores). Things change in Kendall’s life when she meets Brad, portrayed by David DeSanctis (Where Hope Grows), in a cooking class for diverse learners and a romance blooms between them. However, Emma, who has spent the last 22 years of her daughter’s life trying to protect her, is anxious about this new relationship, especially as it does not take long to get to a serious point. Emma is afraid that Kendall’s heart will end up broken which makes h...

Ethan Hawke was just going for a coffee. But because he wanted that coffee, and decided to get that coffee, he ended up running into Oscar Isaac. And because Oscar Isaac liked Hawke's 2020 series The Good Lord Bird, and Hawke liked Isaac's, well, everything, the two sort of just figured it out right there in the moment: why not work together on Isaac's next project, Moon Knight? "We couldn’t even go inside," Hawke says, remembering the winter 2020 crossing of paths during a Zoom call. "We were getting served our coffees out on the street, with freezing cold hands and masks on." But as unpleasant as the outdoor conditions were, it was enough for them to get the ball rolling on the role that landed Hawke his debut role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing the villain in the new Disney+ series Moon Knight. It's a big shift for Hawke, who's made his name primarily for appearing not in major blockbuster fare—he's said before that he turned do...

Amid a blockbuster year for IPOs in India—more than 60 companies raised a reported $15.6 billion last year—the total number of Indian billionaires rose to a record 166, up from 140 last year; their combined wealth grew nearly 26% to $750 billion. The pecking order of the top three is a repeat of 2021. Despite a modest 7% boost to his wealth, Mukesh Ambani, whose Reliance Industries is India’s most valuable company, retained his position as Asia’s richest person—and the tenth richest person in the world—with a net worth of $90.7 billion. Just behind Ambani is infrastructure and commodities tycoon Gautam Adani, who added nearly $40 billion to his fortune to become Asia’s second-richest person. Both Ambani and Adani are leading India’s charge into green energy with multi-billion dollar investments planned for the next decade or so. With the country’s buoyant tech sector notching up record revenue of $200 billion in the recent fiscal year, the wealth of IT entrepreneur Shiv Nadar was up by...

The faith-based film comes just in time for Easter, but unlike many other films in the genre, Father Stu has put some effort into crafting its story. The film — produced by and starring Mark Wahlberg in the title role — is not the best out there, nor is it the most touching, well-paced, deep or thoughtfully executed story, but it does have its moments. Father Stu is based on the true story of Stuart Long (Wahlberg), a boxer who is forced to quit after suffering injuries his body could no longer tolerate. Stu’s got a lot of anger issues and struggles with being emotionally vulnerable, mostly due to the death of his brother at a young age and the divorce of his now-estranged parents (Mel Gibson and Jacki Weaver), both of whom didn’t raise him to be religious. Lost, Stu moves to Los Angeles in an attempt to become an actor. He becomes infatuated with Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic school teacher, and begins attending church. At first, it’s only to please her...

Competition among streaming services remains fierce as consumers are seeking the best deal while looking for more original shows and movies or a TV series to binge. The streaming companies are all fighting for more people to subscribe to their service, get hooked on a show and stay for a few months.

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be ...
