Disney has announced that Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi, will direct the first two episodes of Wonder Man, a new comedy series for Disney+ that he created with Andrew Guest. The series is a satirical take on the world of superheroes and Hollywood.
Denzel Washington and Chris Pine star in Unstoppable, marking Washington’s fifth film with director Tony Scott. Pine was coming off his breakout role in the Star Trek reboot. As with many of Scott’s movies, the film features a strong supporting cast, including Rosario Dawson, Ethan Suplee, Kevin Dunn, and T.J. Miller. Critics generally liked Unstoppable; Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 87% rating, making it the third highest-rated film directed by Scott, behind Crimson Tide and True Romance, and ahead of popular films like Top Gun and Enemy of the State.
While it never became as widely popular as shows like Lost or Heroes, The 4400 was just as skillfully made. In fact, it’s had a greater impact on later science fiction shows. Today, it’s remembered as one of the best sci-fi series that didn’t receive the attention it deserved.
Dick Van Dyke is known for his memorable roles in classic musicals like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, and Bye Bye Birdie. This makes sense, as he’s a remarkably talented singer and dancer. If you haven’t seen his performance of “Me Ol’ Bamboo” in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, it’s a must-see – the dance numbers are incredible! He also has a background performing on Broadway.
The series follows interconnected stories that unfold as mysteries of deception. Much like Sherlock, Jonathan Creek appeals to viewers who enjoy a good intellectual challenge. Each episode presents a seemingly impossible situation – like a murder in a locked room, a vanishing corpse, or a baffling clue – but the solutions are always brilliantly revealed.
Look, I’ve played a TON of SNES games, and there’s one from the early ’90s that just blows them all away. It really showed everyone what that console could do, and honestly, playing it now, it feels as good as it did back then. It’s a perfect game, a straight-up 10/10 for me.
As a huge Hercule Poirot fan, I think it’s safe to say most of the books are fantastic. But let’s be real, some are just more memorable than others! A handful of Poirot mysteries really changed the game for crime fiction, and I still think about them years later. While I enjoy everything Agatha Christie wrote, a few Poirot stories definitely rise above the rest as true classics.
James Cameron, like most people in Hollywood, is worried the recent merger will harm the film industry, particularly how movies are shown in theaters. However, despite these concerns, the director of Avatar firmly stated he’s committed to preserving the theatrical experience and won’t give up without a struggle.
50 Cent is known for his playful, sometimes mischievous behavior, particularly online. He often playfully teases people on social media in various ways. In a recent interview with Gold Derby about their upcoming 2025 Netflix docuseries, both 50 Cent (whose song “Candy Shop” is well-known) and the series’ director, Alexandria Stapleton, discussed the project. When asked about being labeled “petty” for his involvement, 50 Cent, whose real name is Jackson, readily admitted to the description.
Now in his seventies, Phil Tippett is still actively working in film. After decades of effort, he finally released his stop-motion animation film, ‘Mad God,’ in 2022. Throughout his career, he’s also contributed to many other well-known movies, including ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’ (he worked on the mine truck sequence), ‘Willow,’ two ‘Robocop’ sequels, ‘The Twilight Saga,’ and even ‘Howard the Duck’.
