She sets out to exact revenge following the death of her father, a tried-and-true concept that fits rather nicely in the Wick-verse.Yes, it’s familiar. Yes, it’s been done before. But the execution? The execution is stylish, brutal, and truly impressive. 💥 The Action: Brutal, Beautiful, and Blood-Soaked If you’re here for the action (and let’s be honest, you are), Ballerina delivers in spades.

This time, the Predator franchise returns in an animated anthology format, and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. 📖 Anthology Structure Breakdown Unlike The Animatrix, though it gives off similar vibes, Killer of Killers features three interwoven stories across different historical periods: Each story contributes to a greater thematic arc, rather than feeling like isolated vignettes. 🏆 Verdict: Best Predator Film Since the Original Let’s stop dancing around it: This…
1991 saw a man walk into the still-open ICA cinema in London. He was shown a virtually unheard-of movie almost nowhere found in Britain. An executive from a fledgling film company called Island World Communications, Andy Frain, looked at acquisitions. He saw Akira through the ICA. Ten years later, Frain said, “It blew me away,” during our interview. “Beyond Tom and Jerry or whatever, I was not interested in animation. Still, Akira caught me since I had never seen anything like it. It was a well-made, thoughtful, philosophical movie for adults akin to an animated Blade Runner. “In 1991,” Frain…

The introduction ends with this. Let us directly start with the video. The teaser opens in Predators’ Prize Room. On board many of their ships, this group of hunters packs closely.

Pay close attention, readers: there were some big Weyland-Yutani emblems that seemed to be suggesting a possible Predator/Alien crossover in May when the Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator: Badlands teaser leaked. With his official full teaser for the forthcoming Alien prequel series Alien: Earth on Disney+ and FX, Creator Noah Hawley seems to be sowing his own seeds of stream-crossing. To grasp our point, see the preview of the drama featuring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, and Timothy Olyphant below; “This ship collected five different life forms,” notes Babou Ceesay’s character, Morrow, midway through the new Alien: Earth trailer. The film revolves on…

The Baltics’ new Annecy projects aim to cover several spheres of interest. From a Chinese erotical book, there are blond penguins, lots of dry humor, and steamy stories. Official of the Estonian Academy of Arts Lyza Karoly Jarvis remarked the local animation scene is “booming with new and fresh energy”. Our works reflect our seriousness about living in a time when almost everything is possible. The Baltics have always been home for creative and satisfying work, but the emergence of animation and the birth of the next generations of directors clearly show this trend. “The success of ‘Flow’ makes me…
My movie theater occasionally hosts preview events, thus yesterday, just before it was public, I saw How to Train Your Dragon. Regarding DreamWorks movies, I like How to Train Your Dragon from 2010. Though I’m not usually one to support them, the trailer and casting choices—especially Hiccup’s—inspired hope for this live-action adaptation. In this sense, I feel obliged to note that my meager expectations were met. I will also discuss the preview of Disney-Pixar’s upcoming movie Elio that came before the movie started. It was clear that the animation feature would be straight-forward live-action adapted. Having said that, it is…
Ironheart might reach its zenith as well. The first teaser for the Disney Plus show, which will highlight Riri Williams, indicates that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is acquiring a more grounded attitude. Disney Plus shows have a troubled past inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although the effort has produced some gems for the franchise, most of the shows have been seen as “homework” by viewers, especially given their quality is not especially outstanding. This has caused many of the fans to completely overlook that an Ironheart series starring Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams has been in development since 2022.…
