But when talking to producers Joe and Anthony Russo, contained is the right word in comparison to their other recent work. The directors saw 21 Bridges as both a breather from their massive Marvel movies and a callback to the gritty New York crime stories they grew up watching with their dad....

‘Fantasy Island’ Review: Stay Far, Far Away From Blumhouse’s Horror Getaway By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 14, 2020 10:30 am EST But a bargain-basement Wishmaster sequel is high-art when compared to what director Jeff Wadlow and company have cooked-up here. After winning a contest, several strangers end up on the fantabulous Fantasy Island, a photo-ready locale with beautiful beaches and big-ass bungalows, all run by the mysterious Mr. Roarke, played by a subdued, possibly sedated Michael Peña – the charming, typically wonderful actor seems just as bored to be in this movie as we are watching it....

‘Hunters’ Review: Al Pacino Is Great In An Otherwise Disappointing Series By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 17, 2020 9:00 am EST The premise is solid: It’s the late 1970s, and America has been infiltrated by Nazis. The majority of the country is oblivious to this, but one small group of people have caught on. They’re the Hunters, a rag-tag team that has the market cornered on Nazi hunting. It’s a comic book-style scenario that Hunters leans into more than once, to the point where one character refers to the group as “Jew-perheroes” (more on dialogue like that in a bit)....

‘John Wick’ Escape Room Coming To London By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 2, 2019 9:00 am EST Better dust off your best bulletproof suit: a John Wick escape room is coming. The escape room will also feature a bar modeled after The Continental, the famous hotel featured in all three films.

With a quick-to-the-punch direction by Saul Ruiz, “Old Friends Not Forgotten” kicks off Part 1 of the long-awaited Siege of Mandalore arc that intermingles with the Revenge of the Sith timeline....
