The ending is the most important part of a movie. It is what creates the effects and emotions the audience is left with. Some endings imprint themselves on viewers’ minds and some continue to amaze audiences no matter how much time has passed.

Movies with cliffhangers and shocking endings that keep the audience on the edge of their seats are hard to come by. With their twisted narratives and layered plotlines, these movies make the viewers question what they think they know. They progress subtly, until the final jaw-dropping scene changes everything and has one thinking about it for days.

The ultimate element of surprise can truly make or break a film. Sometimes, a movie’s performance can be judged on how impactfully it leaves one stunned. Hence, here is a list of movies that can potentially leave one scratching their heads; ranked from better to best.

MonsterVerse is one of the most interesting cinematic universes out of all of them. The Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures-owned franchise has earned over $2.5 billion worldwide and also consists of TV shows on different streaming services but the way it all came together is a bit iffy because of the rights issues and the general laziness that we see in the some of the MonsterVerse films, but still Godzilla vs. Kong is still one of the most iconic movies for me. So, we thought of compiling every project that exists in the MonsterVerse and ranking them according to their Rotten Tomatoes score, here it is.

A host of new names have been added to the cast of dark comedy The Gallerist, joining the already-announced Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega.

Details regarding filmmaker Cathy Yan’s The Gallerist are being kept mostly under wraps, but here’s what we do know so far: the dark comedy is set to enter production next month in France and has been written by the Birds Of Prey director alongside James Pederson. Yan will direct with the story said to ‘focus on a desperate gallerist who conspires to sell a dead guy at Art Basel Miami’ – the latter being an upscale art show where tickets are around $85 per person (though kids get in for $10).

The project has already cast Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega. Thanks to World Of Reel, we’ve picked now up details regarding the supporting cast for The Gallerist – and it’s quite an ensemble.

Andor proved itself to be one of the most effective examples of storytelling in the galaxy far, far away. The series serves as a prequel to the 2016 film Rogue One and explores the backstory of Cassian Andor played by Diego Luna. The series received almost overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and is expected to return with a second season.

Given the success of the first season, fans have been eagerly waiting for the second installment, which will serve as the final chapter in the titular character’s story. However, fans might not have to wait for too long, as new reports hint that a release date for the rebel spy’s final outing has been locked. Here is what you need to know about Andor season 2’s release date and other details.

Disney+ Reportedly Confirms Release Date For Andor...

Even early into its theatrical release 10 years ago, Dan Gilroy’s 2014 thriller Nightcrawler felt like an instantly timeless classic. For starters, writer-director Gilroy’s startlingly confident debut made an immediate impression as an iconic Los Angeles movie, with immersive neo-noir vibes and unsettling chills bolstering its impeccable cinematic craft and rich thematic aims.

There is nothing quite like the exciting expectation of a well-made thriller, whether we’re in a dark theater or the comfort of our own homes. This type of fiction is great at keeping people on the edge of their seats, with their hearts racing and minds desperately trying to figure out what’s going on. These must-see thrillers aren’t just chase scenes and shadowy figures; they’ve grown into complex psychological puzzles that play with our darkest fears and make us think about what we think we know.

The best thriller movies have always pushed the limits of storytelling, from Hitchcock’s superb use of anxiety to current psychological warfare on screen. I don’t know how much movies should entertain, said David Fincher, a director. It always interests me when movies make you feel bad. What makes great movies different from just fun is that they leave...

Dan Gilroy's "Nightcrawler" is designed to make you feel ill at ease. When small-time thief Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) is first introduced, the discomfort evoked stems from the desperation late-stage capitalism embeds into our souls and how it pushes us towards unsavory avenues. However, once Bloom pawns a stolen bicycle for a camcorder, and we are forced to dissect violent, extreme crime scenes with him, the true, eerie heart of "Nightcrawler" is revealed. Bloom isn't just pushed into taking such ethically void measures to ensure his survival: he actively hungers for these excesses, as seen in his wide-eyed, unblinking gaze, which Gyllenhaal invests with an unsettling intensity that grants "Nightcrawler" its discomfiting tint. It is an experience that comes alive solely because of him, and Gyllenhaal carries this burden by channeling a haunting, career-defining performance that is both subtle and felt deeply in our bones.

Gyllenhaal is no one-hit...

King Kong did not, in fact, have, er, doo-doo on Denzel Washington at the turn of the 21st century. Fresh off his second Oscar win (and his first as a lead performer) for playing dirty LAPD detective Alonzo Harris in Antoine Fuqua's "Training Day," the capital-m Movie Star made a habit of working with his old friends over the decade that followed. Indeed, if one were to run through his resume, one would note that most of Washington's films in the 2000s were directed by either one of his former collaborators or Denzel himself. Then again, if your pals were Spike Lee, Tony Scott, Jonathan Demme, and the under-appreciated Carl Franklin, you'd want to make all of your movies with them too.

Not that any of this was out of character for Washington, an artist who's been meticulous about cultivating his screen image since making his film acting...

Jonathan Majors’ Magazine Dreams is finally up for release! (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Jonathan Majors’ Magazine Dreams has finally got its chance to hit movie screens and flex its themes of obsession, mental health, and the pressures of pursuing success. After eight months of no updates, the movie has received a new distributor. Magazine Dreams stars Majors as Killian Maddox, a troubled aspiring bodybuilder who, despite his doctor’s warnings about the damage steroids are doing to his liver, continues using them.

He struggles with forming meaningful human connections, and his obsession with champion bodybuilders drives him down a dark and destructive path. Majors delivers astonishing performance, physically transforming himself through an intense regimen, consuming 6100 calories a day and training six days a week for four months. Directed by Elijah Bynum, the movie also features Taylour Paige, Haley Bennett, Harrison Page, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Mike O’Hearn.

While the movie was...

In a move that builds on Tom Ortenberg’s credentials as a provocative champion of contentious material, Briarcliff Entertainment has acquired US rights to Magazine Dreams – a film many thought might never see the light of day after star Jonathan Majors was convicted of charges related to domestic violence.

Briarcliff plans a theatrical release for Elijah Bynum’s acclaimed drama about a troubled, aspiring bodybuilder in the first quarter of 2025. CEO Ortenberg declared on Wednesday, “Jonathan Majors’ transcendent performance as Killian Maddox will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most compelling and transformative roles in recent cinema history.”

“Magazine Dreams” is back in circulation: The Jonathan Majors movie has been picked up by Briarcliff Entertainment for a first-quarter 2025 U.S. theatrical release. Original distributor Searchlight Pictures dropped the indie film after Majors was convicted of assault.

The Elijah Bynum film first premiered at Sundance in 2023, where it was acquired by Searchlight. “Magazine Dreams was given a primo awards-season release, with Majors in particular being considered a Best Actor contender.

But following the December 2023 conviction of Majors on a charge of assault and harassment, Searchlight sent the film back to the open market, where it stayed in limbo for nearly a year.

Briarcliff is the same distributor giving the unauthorized Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice” a theatrical run. “The Apprentice” is another movie that struggled to find distribution, though that was due to financier Dan Snyder’s disdain for the tone of the finished product. Snyder is the very...

Jonathan Majors’ bodybuilding drama Magazine Dreams has found a path to theaters after being dropped by Searchlight in January following the star’s criminal conviction.

Briarcliff has picked up the project for distribution, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed, and plans to release it in theaters in the first quarter of 2025. The Tom Ortenberg-run distributor has a history of acquiring controversial projects, and will release the Donald Trump feature The Apprentice later this month after no major Hollywood studio would touch it.

Writer-director Elijah Bynum’s Magazine Dreams bowed at Sundance in 2023 to rave reviews for Majors’ performance as amateur bodybuilder Killian Maddox, with the actor earning early awards buzz. Disney-owned Searchlight acquired the project after a bidding war, but ultimately dropped the movie after Majors was convicted of assault and harassment, stemming from an incident involving his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari.

Searchlight returned the film to producers and allowed them to shop it.

Exclusive: Magazine Dreams, the drama that came out of Sundance with Oscar buzz for Jonathan Majors’ intense portrayal of a troubled aspiring bodybuilder, will finally get its chance to flex on movie screens.

Briarcliff Entertainment has acquired domestic distribution rights to the critically acclaimed film, with plans to release in the first quarter of 2025. This becomes the second quality hot-potato picture taken on by Tom Ortenberg’s Briarcliff, after the distributor acquired the Donald Trump-Roy Cohn coming-of-age drama The Apprentice. Conglomerate-connected distributors shunned that film after its provocative Cannes debut, but Briarcliff will release it in the heat of election season October 11. That film shows the lessons an aspiring real estate magnate learned after being taken under the wing of the reptilian lawyer who was once the right-hand man for Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the sensationalized communist witch hunt.

With nine Oscar nominations and two wins, Denzel Washington's legacy as one of the finest actors in Hollywood is well-established. But even without the accolades, the man's talent speaks for itself. Often this is literally the case. Alfred Hitchcock once told Francois Truffaut, "The chief requisite for an actor is the ability to do nothing well" — something that frequent Hitch collaborator James Stewart had down to a tee. Even Stewart's quiet charisma arguably can't quite match Denzel's effortless magnetism, though. The man can make doing nothing look good like no other. But he can also do a lot when required, and has demonstrated his adaptability across one of the most impressive filmographies in Hollywood.

In 2017, Washington spoke to The Inquirer about his approach to acting at the age of 60. "I'm trying to get better," Washington told the outlet, "This ain't dress rehearsal. I really don't know how many...

CAA’s Roeg Sutherland is set to be honored with the Zurich Film Festival’s Game Changer Award for his outstanding achievements and contributions within the film industry.

The co-Head of CAA’s Media Finance department as well as its International Film Group, will be presented with the award during the festival’s industry-focused Zurich Summit, which takes place in October within the framework of the 20th Zurich Film Festival (Zff).

As part of the recognition, FilmNation Entertainment CEO Glen Basner will host the Game Changer Award recipient conversation, in which he will speak with Sutherland about his journey.

“Roeg is a passionate cinephile and industry leader, who has not only discovered, but also nurtured and developed the careers of countless artists. In the past several years, he has secured financing and sold some of the most important and critically acclaimed films, both domestic and international,” commented Zff Artistic Director Christian Jungen.

Tony Gilroy created Andor, which proved to be one of the best entries in the Star Wars franchise. The series serves as a spin-off to Rogue One, which Gilroy had helped with during the reshoots. However, the spin-off series took almost six years to materialize after the film was released and Gilroy revealed why that was the case because of an unavoidable reason.

During an interview, Gilroy was asked about the spin-off show’s creation, with the writer-producer discussing Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy’s involvement in the project. Gilroy revealed that despite Kennedy’s interest in greenlighting the series, it faced one obstacle, which could not be overcome earlier. Here is why Kennedy had to shelf Andor for years before making it.

Lee Pace’s “The Fall” is getting a 4K re-release courtesy of streaming platform Mubi.

The film, which was released in 2006, stars Pace as a hospital patient whose imagination inspires a globe-trotting tale. The official synopsis reads: In Los Angeles circa the 1920s, a little immigrant girl (Catinca Untaru) in a hospital recovering from a fall, strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Pace). He captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscape of her imagination.

The feature was filmed over 4 years in 20 different international locations. Tarsem Singh, known just as Tarsem, directed the film, which was his sophomore release after 2000’s “The Cell.” He later went on to helm “The Immortals” (2011), “Mirror Mirror” (2014), “Self/less” (2015), and Dear Jassi (2023). Tarsem also directed the 10-part mini-tv series “Emerald City.”

“The Fall” was originally presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, with...

Exclusive: Arthouse streamer and distributor Mubi is set to re-release Tarsem’s cult 2006 film The Fall in a newly restored 4K version from 27 September 2024 in the US, Canada, Latin America, the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Benelux, Turkey and India. The Match Factory is handling sales for the rest of the world.

The 4K restoration will have its world premiere at this year’s Locarno Film Festival where it will play on the Piazza Grande. Mubi will subsequently stream it on its service.

Set in Los Angeles, circa 1920s, the visually striking movie charts the story of an immigrant girl in a hospital recovering from a fall who strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man. He captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination.

Filmed over four years in 20 different locations across the globe, the movie starred Lee Pace, Catinca Untaru and Justine Waddell. The film was originally presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze, with a script from Dan Gilroy and Nico Soultanakis.

Reviews were mixed for the film and it failed to ignite at the box office, but its visuals were highly praised and Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars, calling it a singular work: “You might want to see [it] for no other reason than because it exists. There will never be another like it,” he said.

After debuting at Toronto back in 2006, the film became very hard to track down on streaming services and director Tarsem recently expressed hope the feature would soon get a revival.

Tarsem Singh, known as Tarsem, is also known for movies such as The Cell, starring Jennifer Lopez, The Immortals starring Henry Cavill, Mirror Mirror starring Julia Roberts and Self/less with Ryan Reynolds. The filmmaker is also well known for his music videos, including Rem’s Losing My Religion, which won MTV’s Best Video Award. In 2023, he directed his first feature film in Punjabi, Dear Jassi which won the Platform Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Scarlett Johansson’s career continues to soar even after her famous stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actress returns to making romantic comedy movies, a genre that is slowly making its way back into this time period.

The film is basically a huge risk especially after the actress accepted a script from an unknown scribe. Despite coming from a legacy family, Rose Gilroy – the niece of director Tony Gilroy – still doesn’t have her membership card from the Writers Guild of America.

Shelley Duvall, the iconic actress known for her distinctive voice, striking appearance, and memorable performances, passed away on July 11, 2024. She was 75 years old. Duvall’s contributions to film and television left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, and her death is a significant loss to the world of cinema. Duvall’s cause of death was due to complications from diabetes, and she was bedridden for several months prior to her passing. Her longtime partner Dan Gilroy says the actress died in her sleep sometime after midnight.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Shelley Alexis Duvall was born on July 7, 1949, in Fort Worth, Texas. Her early life was far from the limelight, as she initially pursued a degree in nutrition and diet therapy. However, her life took an unexpected turn when she was discovered by director Robert Altman at a party. Altman saw something unique in Duvall, leading to her film...

Shelley Duvall, known for her roles in The Shining and Nashville, died of diabetes complications on Thursday in Blanco, Texas, at the age of 75.

“My dear, sweet, wonderful life, partner and friend left us last night. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away beautiful Shelley,” said her partner Dan Gilroy in a statement.

Duvall was known as the late director Robert Altman’s protege in the 1970s and 1980s. After meeting the infamous director while filming Brewster Cloud, Duvall went on to star in five more of his films, including McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Thieves Like Us, Nashville, Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull’s History Lesson and 3 Women. She also starred as Olive Oyl in Altman’s Popeye.

“[Altman] has great confidence in me,” she told the New York Times in 1977. “And a trust and respect for me, and he doesn’t put any restrictions on me or intimidate me,...

Scarlett Johansson’s latest film Fly Me to the Moon has opened with some good response in theaters. The film follows the relationship between a marketing specialist, played by Johansson, and the NASA director in charge of the Apollo 11 mission, played by Channing Tatum. With the talents involved, fans would be surprised to know that neophyte Rose Gilroy was tasked with writing the screenplay.

However, Rose Gilroy is not just any writing newbie. Writing is imbibed in her DNA as she is the daughter of screenwriter Dan Gilroy and granddaughter of playwright Frank D. Gilroy. Her mother is actress Rene Russo. However, the big names associated with her did not make it any easier for her to land her gig with Johansson.

Dr. Phil aka Phil McGraw came under fire in 2016 for exploiting a mentally ill Shelley Duvall by putting her on live television. The show televised Duvall in an agitated and disoriented state. At one point in the interview, Duvall asked for help saying that she was very sick. Dr. Phil never issued an apology for the incident and he went on to show no regret even years after the episode aired.

Some sad news to report today, as The Shining and Popeye actress Shelley Duvall has passed away at the age of 75. Reports (via FearHQ.com) indicate that Duvall died in her sleep of complications from diabetes at her home in Blanco, Texas.

“My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley,” said Dan Gilroy, her life partner since 1989.

The two-time Emmy nominee had all-but retired from acting by the mid-1990s, but left behind a memorable body of work, including seven films directed by her mentor, Robert Altman.

She made her onscreen debut as Astrodome tour guide Suzanne Davis in Brewster McCloud (1970), later appearing as a mail-order bride in McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971); bank robber Keith Carradine's love interest in Thieves Like Us (1974); groupie L.A.

Shelley Duvall Found Acting Comeback 'So Much Fun' in 2023 Werewolf Flick, Prior to Her Death - Main Image

The Shining star Shelley Duvall made her acting comeback in a 2023 Werewolf flick prior to her death. Duvall, who left Hollywood for 20 years, returned in a horror movie, unbeknownst to anyone that it would be her last.

Why The Shining Star Returned to Acting After 20 Years

Shelley Duvall, who died on July 11 at 75 years old, retired from Hollywood in the early 2000s after starring in The Shining, Popeye, and Nashville.

According to People, Duvall's brother was diagnosed with spinal cancer, leading her to move back to Texas and look after him, "It's the longest sabbatical I ever took," she said, adding that she left for important reasons, "To get in touch with my family again."

By October 2022, Duvall was confirmed that she was set to make a cameo in The Forest Hills,...

It’s easy to assume that a screenwriter with the last name Gilroy had an effortless foray into show business, but that was anything but the case for Fly Me to the Moon’s Rose Gilroy.

As the daughter of Dan Gilroy and Rene Russo, as well as niece to Tony and John Gilroy, Rose attempted to steer away from the family business by trying her hand at pre-med and pre-law trajectories during college, but neither option ended up being in the cards for her. Upon graduating Colgate University in 2016, she then modeled for a stretch, but it soon became apparent that writing was in her DNA as well. After all, she’s also the granddaughter of the late Frank D. Gilroy, who won a Pulitzer and a Tony for his 1965 play, The Subject Was Roses.

So she started writing scripts, including a psychological thriller called The Pack, which is...

Shelley Duvall, one of the most iconic movie stars of the ’70s and ’80s, died on Thursday from complications related to diabetes. She was 75.

Duvall got her start working with Robert Altman, with her first acting role coming in his 1970 film Brewster McCloud. This sparked a longtime collaboration and friendship, with Duvall starring in other Altman films like Nashville, 3 Women and Popeye.

Her work with Altman led to being cast in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining as Wendy Torrance, her most recognizable role. In addition to her film work, Duvall hosted and created the children’s series Faerie Tale Theatre and Bedtime Stories.

In 2002, Duvall decided to retire from acting. Following the attention from The Hollywood Reporter‘s 2021 cover story on her reclusive life in Texas Hill Country post-Hollywood, the actress returned to the screen in the 2023 independent horror film The Forest Hills.

Shelley Duvall and I crossed paths at the moment I needed her most.

It was late 2020. Covid lockdowns, George Floyd, media layoffs — everything sucked, and it wasn’t getting better. I adopted a French bulldog puppy to help me cope and named him Otto. Otto would scream every night until I brought him into bed with me, then poop in my duvet.

I tried to maintain a sense of normalcy at work. I wrote a piece for The Hollywood Reporter commemorating the 40th anniversary of Robert Altman’s Popeye. I had not seen the film since 1980. Seeing it again, I was utterly bewitched by Duvall. Her Olive Oyl, twirling around a wooden post singing “He Needs Me,” struck me as being one of the great movie musical moments.

That got me thinking about her. Where was Shelley? What was she up to? I recalled the Dr. Phil appearance — who could forget it?...

Shelley Duvall, who passed away on July 11 at 75, was a film icon in the ’70s and ’80s.

After generations have repeated, "Hello, I'm Shelley Duvall!" in the legendary actress' trademark soft and sweet vocal inflection, fans across the globe must now bid the wide-eyed performer a farewell. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Duvall has passed away at the age of 75. Her death was confirmed by her partner, musician Dan Gilroy, who has been with her since 1989.

"My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she's free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley," Gilroy told THR.

Shelley Duvall, the big-eyed, waifish performer who won the Cannes actress award for Robert Altman’s “3 Women” and endured Stanley Kubrick’s intense directing techniques to star in “The Shining,” died Thursday in Blanco, Texas, Variety confirmed with her partner Dan Gilroy. She was 75.

Duvall was known for working with director Altman, who cast her in “Brewster McCloud” as her first screen role. She went on to appear in his films “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” and “Thieves Like Us” before starring as part of the ensemble cast of “Nashville” in 1975. After gaining attention in “Nashville,” Altman cast her in “Buffalo Bill and the Indians,” then gave her unusual screen presence a chance to shine in “3 Women,” for which she won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress as well as a BAFTA nomination.

Also in 1977, Duvall played a Rolling Stone journalist in Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall,...

When the big-budget sci-fi/boxing flick hybrid "Real Steel" brawled its way into theaters on October 7, 2011, it was ridiculed by some as "Rock'em Sock'em Robots: The Motion Picture." On one hand, the $110 million-budgeted film's blockbuster pedigree of star Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy did little to suggest the film was anything more than this. But anyone who grew up gorging on Rod Serling's original run of "The Twilight Zone" in syndication or reading the novels and short stories of Richard Matheson knew there was more to "Real Steel," at least in theory, than family friendly mechanical mayhem.

Obviously, with that budget, Disney (which distributed the DreamWorks production) wasn't going to sell the film primarily on its connection to a nearly 50-year-old black-and-white television show. As for Matheson, while he's considered a god of 20th century sci-fi/fantasy/horror literature by publishing heavyweights like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman,...

After reprising his role as Star Wars villain Director Orson Krennic last year in The Bad Batch, it looks like Rogue One actor Ben Mendelsohn is eyeing a return to that galaxy far, far away for Andor Season 2. Just last weekend, Diego Luna — who plays the eponymous rebel in both Gareth Edwards' film and Tony Gilroy's series — teased to fans at Ace Superhero Comic Con that "there will be characters that you recognise" in the Peabody award-winning show's second series. And now, in an interview with The Playlist, Mexican filmmaker Alonso Ruizpalacios — director of the last three episodes of Andor's upcoming series — has let slip that Mendelsohn is among the recognisable characters fans can expect to see when the show returns.

Whilst singing the praises of his experience working on Andor, Ruizpalacios paid tribute to the heavyweight actors he'd had chance to direct on the show, specifically naming “Stellan Skarsgård,...

Ahsoka was a successful Star Wars show that received high viewership and critical acclaim. While the series enjoys a vast family fanbase, there are hardcore fans who believe that it couldn’t live up to the gritty storytelling of Andor. Ahsoka was written and produced as a sequel to the animated series, Star Wars Rebels, which appealed to the family audiences. However, the Diego Luna-led series appealed to a more mature audience.

Andor also received critical acclaim and several accolades, but it couldn’t find the viewership success of Ahsoka. However, fans expect these stats to improve once the second season of the series drops on Disney+.
