There are certain movies that over the years have become film industry shorthand for box office fiascos: "Heaven's Gate," "Ishtar," "Waterworld," "Cutthroat Island," and so forth. But in truth, I have no idea why "Waterworld" keeps getting name-checked as a massive bomb, seeing as it eventually broke even and inspired a massively popular stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood. Also irksome: The worst of these movies, "Cutthroat Island," is at least packed with jaw-droppingly elaborate spectacle, while "Heaven's Gate" and "Ishtar" are genuinely great movies from two of the most talented directors of their era (Michael Cimino and Elaine May).
I've long held that a film's box office is of little concern to the general public. Once upon a time, if you were interested in the movie business, you had to shell out for a pricey subscription to Variety or The Hollywood Reporter. Then "Entertainment Tonight" debuted in 1981, and suddenly...

Video game adaptations have recently surged in popularity. The trend started on television, with HBO's The Last of Us and Prime Video's Fallout captivating critics and audiences alike. On the big screen, video game adaptations have become big box office hits in recent years. The Super Mario Bros. Movie made over $1.3 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing movie of 2023.
Meanwhile, Five Nights at Freddy's made $297 million to become 2023's highest-grossing horror film. In 2025, A Minecraft Movie made $955 million, ranking as this year's second-highest-grossing Hollywood release. While these types of family-friendly tentpoles tend to dominate the box office, more adult-oriented video game movies often fly under the radar in theaters, but end up performing well on streaming platforms.

It's always a little worrying when weeks go by without word about a new show. Is it cancelled? Is it coming back? Motorheads premiered over two months ago, and despite a positive reception with Season 1 rated fresh at 78% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Prime Video has yet to renew the show for Season 2. Deadline caught up with the streamer's Head of TV, Vernon Sanders, and discussed their current slate of young adult dramas. They also asked about the status of Motorheads Season 2. While Sanders did not reveal whether the show would return, his comments about it were encouraging. Many shows suffer the fate of lack of completion, but not Motorheads. Vernon revealed that the streamer was seeing some good completion rates, which is always a positive sign. He explained:
"Motorheads has just really sort of resonated with us and struck us. What I’ve been excited to see on that...

When Until Dawn first entered theaters, it was a mild success. It received mediocre praise from fans and critics alike on Rotten Tomatoes, but managed to generate $53 million at the global box office. Now, as the 2025 horror film makes its way into streaming, it has the opportunity to start over and find a second chance at success, leaving a mark on the Netflix charts.
According to FlixPatrol,Until Dawn landed at the #2 spot on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. on July 25, 2025, just between KPop Demon Hunters and Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. The film is based on the 2015 PlayStation game of the same name and was described by director David F. Sandberg as an homage to the horror genre. Until Dawn was described in Collider's review as "Cabin in the Woods meets Groundhog Day with a horror twist," praising its use of different horror tropes and maintaining the spirit of the original game.

It’s Groundhog Day, but every night ends in death. That’s the premise of Until Dawn, the horror movie based on the video game of the same name. From David F. Sandberg, the director of Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, the film follows a woman and her friends as they visit the area where her sister vanished. While there, the night repeats again and again, and the crew is killed over and over — unless they can make it to morning. The film from PlayStation Studios stars Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, and Odessa A’zion.

Video game adaptations continue to be released at a fairly regular cadence. Recently, they've been finding success in the form of TV shows. Titles like The Last of Us and Fallout have been major viewership hits as streaming TV shows adapting popular games.
In the world of movies, video game adaptations have a checkered past. Assassin's Creed (2016), for example, was a major disappointment, and it's one of a number of failed attempts to turn a video game into a massive blockbuster movie franchise. Over the last few years, however, there have been a number of success stories in this space.
The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is still going strong after the debut film in 2020, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a major hit in 2023, grossing $1.360 billion at the box office. This year, A Minecraft Movie became a viral sensation and was a big success in theaters.

When "Dirty Harry" arrived in 1971, it did so amid a flurry of controversy. To some, Clint Eastwood's rogue cop Harry Callahan seemed to be a celebration of police brutality, and the film overall came across as an apologia for vaguely fascist ideals. That is, unless you just took it for the brilliant action crime thriller it was. If you liked your heroes problematic, brooding, and with a healthy disdain for the rules, Callahan was one of the best main characters in the history of cinema. Those that simply enjoyed the film on that level propelled it to success, leading to a sequel and three other Dirty Harry movies. It all started in 1973 with Callahan returning in "Magnum Force," and it almost seemed as if the movie's writers were hitting out at critics of Eastwood's maverick inspector.

Video game adaptations have enjoyed more than their fair share of successful runs in recent times. However, the same time period has seen a declining interest in mainstream horror titles. It's a course of events that has affected Sony’s Until Dawn at the global box office. The horror movie has ended its run at the box office, earning a modest $50 million, which can be categorized as an achievement given the disappointing numbers the genre has endured over the last few years. Until Dawn arrived in theaters back on April 25, 2025, the film is set to try its luck on the small screen. The horror film is now scheduled to land on Netflix beginning July 24, 2025.

For decades, video game adaptations struggled to win over critics and audiences alike. Clunky storytelling, weak acting, and poor fidelity to source material left many adaptations feeling like cash grabs rather than faithful tributes. Flops like Super Mario Bros. (1993) and Street Fighter (1994) created a stigma that plagued the genre, leading to skepticism surrounding any new video game adaptation.
However, 2023 marked a turning point. The Super Mario Bros. Movie made over $1.3 billion at the box office to become the second highest-grossing movie of 2023. Meanwhile, Five Nights at Freddy's exceeded expectations, grossing $297 million to become the year's highest-grossing horror film. These successes signaled a new era, proving that video game adaptations can become massive commercial successes.
This winning streak has continued into 2025. A Minecraft Movie brought in $955 million, making it the year's second-highest-grossing Hollywood release. This success has also extended to television, with HBO's The Last of Us and Prime Video's Fallout captivating critics and audiences alike.

‘It was an earth-shattering reality right away’: director Catherine Hardwicke on life after Twilight
From her groundbreaking debut Thirteen to forthcoming teen drama Street Smart – ‘a homeless Breakfast Club’ – the film-maker explains how she’s made her way in a job still largely made for men
Film-makers have long used their movies as Trojan horses to express their political beliefs and values and Catherine Hardwicke is no different. In her 2003 debut feature, Thirteen, and her 2008 teen vampire hit Twilight, the writer-director bolstered the stories with environmentally and socially conscious messaging to inspire people to “save the planet”. And with her latest film, Street Smart, which she describes as “a kind of homeless The Breakfast Club”, she is still “sneaking in” her “good values”.
Street Smart, now in post-production, is a low-budget ensemble drama, executive-produced by Gerard Butler and partnered with charities Covenant House and Safe Place for Youth, that centres on a group of unhoused teens bonding through music, trauma and humour while fending...

It's been over a month since Prime Video premiered the coming-of-age drama series Motorheads, and there still isn't word on whether the new fan-favorite will be back for season 2. That's not entirely bad news since a significant amount of time hasn't elapsed, but a new update grows our concern that the wait for an official renewal or cancellation could persist for much longer.
According to TV Line, "it's too soon to be expecting renewal news" about Motorheads season 2, which makes sense given we're only shy of a month over the show's May 20 release date. Still, fellow streaming service Netflix has been known to dish out quick renewals to shows that put up impressive numbers. Motorheads has gained some serious momentum, so what's the hold up?

By the time Clint Eastwood had finished his three-movie stint with Sergio Leone, he was not only the face of the "Dollars" trilogy that introduced American audiences to spaghetti westerns, but also one of the biggest movie stars in the world. His Rowdy Yates days on the CBS western "Rawhide" were well behind him now, with the silver screen calling to him more than ever. The world was his oyster. Eastwood's time in the industry would ultimately accentuate one of his biggest characteristics as a creator, with that being a total sense of control over production. Along with his financial advisor Irving Leonard, Eastwood co-founded The Malpaso Company (now called Malpaso Productions), which has produced just about every one of his films from the Ted Post-directed western "Hang 'Em High" all the way up until 2024's stellar courtroom morality drama "Juror #2."

"Dirty Harry" debuted in 1971 amid considerable controversy. Clint Eastwood's maverick cop Harry Callahan played by his own rules which simultaneously electrified and appalled audiences at the time. Director Don Siegel had, depending on your point of view, created a celebration of police overreach, a harmless action fantasy, or a grave warning against the dangers of flouting the rules in favor of one's own predilections.
In the film, Callahan tracks and apprehends the Scorpio Killer (Andrew Robinson), a serial murderer with his own predilection for shooting innocent people from rooftops. Eastwood's loose canon isn't exactly a stickler for the rules, and has no qualms about bending the law in order to get his man, thereby stoking the controversy that followed the film's release. But Siegel also made an effort to draw a parallel between the barbarity of the serial killer and Harry's own proclivity for violence. In time, "Dirty Harry...

In Ted Post's 1973 cop drama "Magnum Force" -- the second movie in the "Dirty Harry" series -- Clint Eastwood returns as Harry Callahan, this time paired with a partner, Earlington "Early" Smith, played by Felton Perry. The film follows the two detectives' investigation into a series of extrajudicial murders seemingly being performed by a motorcycle cop. One vigilante killing, they find, is linked to another, and then another. The murders eventually lead them to discover a vast, dark conspiracy within the San Francisco Police Department. It seems that the Sfpd is lousy with vigilantes hellbent on frontier justice, and have formed a pact to murder criminals on the street. Harry, disgusted by his own department, will have to find the death ring's leader, and end the violence once and for all.

Payne, a writer-director also behind the likes of Sideway and The Holdovers, has won two Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and been nominated for Best Director on three occasions.
After studying filmmaking at UCLA, Payne wrote and directed politically-charged comedy Citizen Ruth, starring Laura Dern, in 1996. It premiered at Sundance and led to a run of seven influential films, which have starred the likes of Paul Giamatti, Reese Witherspoon and Jack Nicholson.

David F. Sandberg’s Until Dawn arrives with the weighty expectation that tends to accompany video game adaptations, especially ones as beloved and narratively intricate as Supermassive Games’ original 2015 release. The film, penned by Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler, doesn’t shy away from the challenge. What it delivers is a briskly paced, knowingly constructed horror feature that’s more playful than profound, more inventive than terrifying, and far more entertaining than most of its genre stablemates.
The story begins with a trope-heavy setup, where a group of college friends travel deep into rural nowhere to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Clover’s sister, Melanie. Their car ride, complete with cryptic gas station warnings and an ominous rainstorm, ends at a remote visitor centre in Glore Valley. So far, so familiar. But once the masked killer appears and dispatches the group one by one, only for them to wake up again in the same place,...

Hi, I’m Chucky. Wanna play? Chucky remains one of the most iconic slasher villains ever, a full two-and-a-half feet of terror, quips and clever kills that have kept viewers coming back since Child’s Play was released in 1988. And while TV series Chucky has gotten the ax (or was it an umbrella?), the legacy of the character is forever. And we have Brad Dourif to credit there, having voiced Chucky across seven films and 24 episodes. Come to think of it, where did that distinct voice come from?
Brad Dourif – who has since retired from acting with the sole exception of any future Child Play endeavors – says he found the soul (so to speak) of Chucky by embracing the true feeling of the films. “At first I kind of worked on a Chicago accent…and then I thought: ‘You know what? This is camp sh*t. Don’t make this too real.

The 1980s was a lean spell for western fans. After the critical and commercial disaster of Michael Cimino's "Heaven's Gate," Hollywood studios were understandably reluctant to pile lots of money into a moribund genre and notable horse operas were few and far between. With the likes of "Silverado," "Young Guns," and "Three Amigos!" to choose from, Kathryn Bigelow's "Near Dark" was pretty much the best of the bunch, but that was as much a modern vampire movie as a typical oater. The classic western movie looked seriously long in the tooth, and it wouldn't flourish again until Kevin Costner resurrected it with his Oscar-winning "Dances with Wolves."
Then of course there was Clint Eastwood. If ever there was a filmmaker and a star who could buck the trend, it was arguably the best western movie actor to dominate the screen. By the mid '80s, Clint had been...

David F. Sandberg returns to horror with Until Dawn, a digital-first psychological slasher that twists familiar genre mechanics into a looping nightmare. Releasing on digital platforms from 10 June via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, the film sees a group of teenagers trapped in a remote valley, forced to relive a night of escalating terror that mutates with every iteration.
Ella Rubin leads the cast as Clover, a determined young woman on a mission to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance a year prior. Alongside her friends, she ventures into Glore Valley, where they encounter an abandoned visitor centre and a lurking threat that begins picking them off one by one. But death is not the end. Instead, the group reawakens to the same evening, and the cycle begins again. Each loop brings a new incarnation of the killer and a fresh set of horrors, pushing the characters toward their psychological limits.

Ever since Ransom E. Olds founded Oldsmobile in 1901, Americans have been wild about cars. With roads stretching every which way throughout the United States, cars gradually became the country's preferred mode of transportation -- especially after the development of the freeway system. The automotive industry in the U.S., born and centered in Detroit, has also long been a symbol of roll-up-your-sleeve American ingenuity. We dream big, work hard, and produce reliable automobiles. And Fords.
The country's romance with cars is amply reflected in film and television. Back in the 20th century, Hollywood knocked out big-ticket auto racing films like John Frankenheimer's "Grand Prix," Lee H. Katzin's "Le Mans," and no less than three Elvis Presley movies centered on motorsports. Filmmakers also introduced the car chase as an obligatory set piece in action movies, which was quickly adopted by television producers for slam-bang series like "The Dukes of Hazzard,...

Until Dawn, the 2025 survival horror film directed by David F. Sandberg, spins a chilling standalone tale inspired by the 2015 PlayStation video game of the same name. With a group of friends trapped in a remote location haunted by a sinister time loop, the movie takes its audience through a terrifying cycle of death, dread, and desperate survival. Built on a foundation of clever ideas and a unique take on the slasher genre, the slasher movie boldly attempts to deliver multiple horror experiences within one storyline. While it stumbles at times under the weight of its ambitious concept, the movie barely manages to create any intrigue with its narrative, eerie atmosphere, and meta-horror nods.
In this article I take a deeper dive into the ending of the movie Until Dawn. Please be aware, the article contain spoilers.

Last year, we learned that Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation director David F. Sandberg would be re-teaming with Annabelle: Creation screenwriter Gary Dauberman for a movie based on the horror video game Until Dawn. Production began in August, wrapping in October, and the film reached theatres last month, earning a 6/10 review from JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols at the time. Now, Until Dawn has received a digital release and is available to rent on Amazon for $19.99, or purchase for the price of $24.99.

Most of us are past the age where soapy teen melodramas are our go-to television programming. Sure, we appreciate rich people misbehaving on shows like Yellowstone and Succession, but we turn our noses up at it when we focus on high school-aged protagonists. Many of those shows are not worth the time it takes to watch them, but now and then there is a solid foray into the Young Adult genre. Motorheads is one of those shows.
Led by former teen heartthrob Ryan Phillippe, Motorheads is set in the working-class town of Ironwood, Pennsylvania, where Zac (Michael Cimino) and Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo) return with their mother, Samantha (Nathalie Kelley), after the disappearance of their father. Staying with their uncle, Logan Maddox (Ryan Phillippe), Zac and Caitlyn find themselves getting acclimated to the small town where their father’s notorious reputation sets them up within the cliques. As the truth about the family comes to light,...

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bd, “This adaptation captures none of the intensity or scares [of the game]. It winds up the equivalent of touring a loud, busy haunted house attraction. It’s packed to the brim with kills and monsters, very loosely connected by its source material, yet with none of the characters or lore as connective tissue. It’s an adaptation that fails its source material in nearly every way, but it also fails as a straightforward horror film.

Motorheads was an overnight success, reaching No. 1 in the US on Prime Video, and that doesn't attest to how amazing this show is. I promise the series will surprise you. This coming-of-age show brings together car lovers and young adult genre fans in a format that reminds viewers of timeless stories like The Breakfast Club, Grease, The Outsiders, and Outer Banks. The creator, writer, and executive producer of Motorheads told a viewer that episode 8 is where the series pays homage to John Hughes.
The storyline, friendships, families, and rivalries have a vibe from the '80s to the early 2000s. Between the grungy outfits and town rivalries, the story is a blast from the past. Fittingly enough, the episodes draw from flashbacks from 17 years ago to the present day, from flip phones to smartphones, yet the show doesn't miss a beat in storytelling.

Roger Moore’s final 007 movie, 1985’s A View To A Kill, is a bit of a Marmite outing even for James Bond fans – but is the film in a class of its own?.
This feature contains moderate spoilers for A View To A Kill.
“Ha ha, you amuse me, Mr Bond.”
“It’s not mutual.”
In a series as long and variable in quality as the James Bond franchise, we all have our biases as fans. For many, the highly subjective distinction between “good film” and “good Bond film” might go in either direction towards the modern Daniel Craig films or the earliest Sean Connery adventures. And for some of us, it may just be that marathoning Roger Moore’s Bond films in order does A View To A Kill absolutely no favours in either category.
As expected at this stage, the film has very little in common with Ian Fleming’s 1960 short story,...

Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter will headline Legend’s June 2025 slate, as the classic war film makes its debut on the free-to-air genre channel. Scheduled for its first airing on Saturday 28 June, the five-time Academy Award winner will anchor a month of premieres that spans decades and genres, from prestige Hollywood dramas to high-concept science fiction and British cult films.
Originally released in 1978, The Deer Hunter stars Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep, and is widely regarded as one of the most significant American films of the 20th century. Set before, during and after the Vietnam War, the film traces the psychological and emotional impact of conflict on a group of steelworkers from Pennsylvania. Cimino’s ambitious and often divisive work won Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars and remains a key title in any examination of American post-war cinema.

When the camera cuts from sputtering engine backfires to the weathered façades of Ironwood’s main street, you feel the pull of two worlds colliding. The debut episodes of Motorheads set the stage with a flashback: a young Christian Maddox hurtling past cheering crowds, his Charger a blur of chrome and ambition. Cut to present day, and his twins, Caitlyn and Zac Torres, are rolling into their mother’s Rust Belt hometown—leaving Brooklyn’s skyline for empty storefronts and the hum of idle engines.
Their arrival hinges on Samantha’s hope to recapture something she lost long ago, but it quickly sparks questions: Can these teens honor a vanished legend while carving out their own identities? The show tees up two central strands—solving the mystery of their father’s disappearance and grappling with small-town expectations that feel as rusty as abandoned factories.

There are times in Amazon’s Motorheads, especially during the Neil Burger-directed premiere, when it feels like you’re not really supposed to have been paying attention. Or, at least, when it feels like the show presumes you haven’t been.
Character introductions and plot developments are prefaced by blaring musical cues to let you know in no uncertain terms how to feel. The dialogue is bloated with exposition: “I mean, your dad just lost her,” a girl says to her boyfriend of his own recently dead mother, as if he might have forgotten. And in case none of that might be enough to redirect your attention from whatever TikTok video you were watching simultaneously, the soundtrack is crammed with recently huge, surely expensive hits by the likes of Benson Boone, Teddy Swims and Olivia Rodrigo.

And in case none of that might be enough to redirect your attention from whatever TikTok video you were watching simultaneously, the soundtrack is crammed with recently huge, surely expensive hits by the likes of Benson Boone, Teddy Swims and Olivia Rodrigo.

When HBO’s “The Idol” premiered to a resounding “ugh, really?” from the general public in 2023, there was a specific label people were quick to apply to the series: vanity project. Who the show was a vanity project for depended on which creator was being complained about at the time. But haters of the instantly despised pop star erotic thriller were practically universal in their assessment that the show was an ego stroke for star The Weeknd and/or series director Sam Levinson: both of whom took their lashings over the course of the show’s five-episode run.
The pair clearly had sky high hopes for the series, to the point that it received a rare TV premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023 before its broadcast debut in June. That was criticized by many as a deeply egotistical push, but its inclusion at the...

Plot: Motorheads is about first love, first heartbreak, and turning the key in your first car. Set in a once-thriving rust-belt town that’s now searching for a glimmer of hope, the series is an adrenaline-filled story of a group of outsiders who form an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of street racing, while navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school.
Review: I am not a car guy, but I am a sucker for movies and series that feature racing. I am also a sucker for kids banding together and forging a team to push back against bullies and bad guys. Whether it be The Goonies, It, or even the Harry Potter films, when a series or film can deliver a teen-centric drama without pandering to the soapier tendencies of young adult fare, it can make for a very entertaining watch. So many shows pander to the audience...
