Director James Cameron returns to planet Pandora for Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited follow-up to his 2009 smash hit Avatar. Boasting state-of-the-art special effects, the film is the first in a series of four planned sequels, though whether any of them will achieve the same level of record-breaking box office success as the original remains to be seen.

The film picks up more than a decade after the events of the original film, with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) happily married and raising their four children in the forests of Pandora, according to the nature-loving ways of the Na’vi. However, when a clone of former adversary Col...

“The way of water connects all things. Before your birth, and after your death.”

It seems James Cameron has always had an obsession, and connection with water. From his 1989 sci-fi movie The Abyss to his 1997 blockbuster Titanic, water has been everywhere. Now Cameron dives deeper into water than he has dared to do before, taking us back to Pandora and back into a cinematic experience that only he is capable of achieving.

13 years after the release of its predecessor, Avatar: The Way of Water takes us back to the planet of Pandora, a world that never fully captured me 13 years ago, (I did miss the first one on the big screen). On rewatches over time however,...

We have the first trailer for The Dark & The Wicked. This is the latest from director Bryan Bertino, which was recently picked up for distribution by Rlje Films and Shudder just ahead of its debut at this year's digital version of the Fantasia Film Festival. They made quick work of getting a trailer out in the world following the acquisition. And, based on the trailer, it's not hard to see why, as this looks to be a chilling, mysterious and horror-filled flick.

The trailer picks up with a woman on a seemingly isolated farm at night, peacefully humming a tune to herself. Peaceful though it may be, there is an ominous feel in the air. We quickly discover why, as things don't pan out well for her. In the aftermath of her death, a mystery begins to unravel. There is a great deal of unsettling imagery and unexplained happenings, with...

Exclusive: Bryan Bertino’s The Dark and the Wicked has landed at AMC Networks siblings Rlje Films and Shudder In a North American deal ahead of the horror film’s world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival on Friday. It is now set for a U.S. theatrical release November 6 via Rlje Films; AMC’s genre streaming arm Shudder has also acquired rights in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and will release the film in 2021.

Bertino, whose directing credits include The Stranger and Mockingbird, wrote and directed the horror movie, which follows a mother and her children dealing with the grief and darkness brought upon by the death of the family matriarch. The Umbrella Academy actress Marin Ireland, Michael Abbott Jr. and Xander Berkeley star along with Lynn Andrews, Julie Oliver-Touchstone, Tom Nowicki and Ella Ballentine.

The film was also an official selection at the Tribeca Film Festival...

The Strangers writer-director Bryan Bertino's new nightmare The Dark & the Wicked has just snagged it's cast in the form of Marin Ireland (The Miseducation of Cameron Post), Michael Abbott Jr. (The Death of Dick Long), and Xander Berkeley (The Walking Dead). Bertino's new film follows the tale of terror centering on two siblings who are summoned back to the family farm to await the inevitability of their father's death, and what initially appears to be a timeless ritual of loss and remembrance turns out to be something very different.

While this has not been confirmed, I can only imagine that Ireland and Abbott Jr. will be playing the siblings mentioned above while Berkeley will be portraying the family patriarch at the end of his life. But again, this has not been confirmed at this time.

One of the main reasons I'm excited about today's news is the inclusion of actor Xander Berkeley.

Exclusive: Marin Ireland, Michael Abbott Jr., and Xander Berkeley have been tapped as the leads in The Dark & The Wicked, a horror film written and directed by Bryan Bertino. It follows two siblings who are summoned back to the family farm to await the inevitability of their father’s death. What initially appears to be a timeless ritual of loss and remembrance turns out to be something very different.

Lynn Andrews, Julie Oliver-Touchstone, Tom Nowicki, and Ella Ballentine co-star in the film which is shooting in Texas.

The pic marks Bertino’s third feature following his debut pic The Strangers, with Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, and The Monster, starring Zoe Kazan, which was released by A24 last year. He’s repped by UTA and Grandview.

Adrienne Biddle and Bertino are producing The Dark & The Wicked under their Unbroken Pictures banner along with Sonny Mallhi and Kevin Matusow for The Traveling Picture Show Company.

James Block never thought his "smiley, happy" next-door neighbor could be a killer. The 53-year-old resides in Cooper Township, Michigan, in a home adjacent to the now-empty house of Uber driver and father-of-two Jason Brian Dalton, the man charged with six counts of murder and two attempted murders in the Kalamazoo County shooting spree.

It's been three days since six people were fatally shot and two others were wounded in Kalamazoo, Michigan, allegedly at the hands of an Uber driver. On Saturday, 17-year-old Tyler Smith and his 53-year-old father, Richard Smith, were looking at cars together at a local Kia dealership when Jason Brian Dalton, 45, allegedly shot them with a semiautomatic handgun.

College student Tori Curtis declined to accept an Uber car she had ordered Saturday night in Kalamazoo, Michigan - which may have saved her life. Curtis, a 21-year-old senior at a Michigan university, and a friend, Mallory LeMieux, took their mothers out to dinner and then "barhopping" in downtown Kalamazoo, ending the night at the Wild Bull Saloon, she tells People. "It was a fun mother-daughter night," she says. While they were out, she says LeMieux's father sent a text about a story he had seen on the news about a shooter in the area who was driving a Chevy Hhr.

Update posted on Facebook this past Saturday by the creator of Mr. Deity, Brian Dalton:   [Mr. Deity website | Mr. Deity on Facebook]

Why I do Mr. Deity... Today at 2:25pm  For those of you interested, this (see below) is the motivating, philosophical force behind why I do Mr. Deity. I really want people to rethink this stuff...

The following is an email I received this morning (I get stuff like this frequently) from someone who had seen the show. This is followed by my response...

All of us have sinned against our Creator. We have offended a Holy and Righteous God. We All rightfully deserve hell. God made Himself a man, in the person of His Son Jesus Christ, and took the punishment for Our sins upon Himself on a cross. The only way we can be made right with God, and in turn be with Him for Eternity is through Christ.

"Whoever believes in him is not condemned,...
