This September, we’re celebrating Back to School Night with four midnight movies that aren’t just academically themed but also teach the lessons essential to understanding this school of cinema.

Released Sept. 17, 2004, “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” was a romance-tinged action adventure inspired by the same 1930s serials that inspired George Lucas and Steven Spielberg when they made “Star Wars” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Earning $58 million against a budget that at the time was reported to be $70 million, the film was considered a box office failure for Kerry Conran, the writer-director making his first film — and to date, his only one.
“As much as this film was a great thing for me, it was also a painful thing for me,” Conran told Variety during a recent interview.
The Flint, Michigan native was not the first filmmaker to employ a “virtual backlot” to tell his stories — notwithstanding Lucas’ use of digital pre-visualization and blue screen technology to make the “Star Wars” prequels, Kazuaki Kiriya’s “Casshern” preceded him, and Robert Rodriguez’ “Sin City” followed shortly afterward.

The rock legends ran through a 21-song setlist, opening with a one-two punch of “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” and “Back in Black.” The evening featured plenty of other hits spanning the band’s five-plus-decade career: “Thunderstruck,” “Hell’s Bells,” “High way to Hell,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long,” among others.
The set also featured two cuts from the band’s 2020 album, Power Up (“Demon Fire” and “Shot in the Dark”), as well as some choice deep cuts from the discography such as “Riff Raff,” “Stiff Upper Lip,” “Shot Down in the Flames,” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train.”
A truly explosive encore of “T.N.T.” and “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” ended the evening and tour.

Angelina Jolie considered her action feature Tomb Raider a life-changing experience. The film helped show Jolie what she was physically and emotionally capable of, challenging her in a way she hadn’t been before.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was a huge film for Jolie at the time. It helped cement Jolie as an action star, one who could potentially lead her own action franchise. But surprisingly, Jolie initially turned down what would end up being one of her most iconic roles. Fortunately, it didn’t take much to convince the actor to change her mind.
“I said, ‘I really didn’t feel like that character suited me.’ I actually didn’t at first want to do it; I said no,” Jolie once told Collider. “But they said you can travel the world and train...

Josh Hartnett loves a challenge.
The risk of falling flat on his face or soaring as an actor is something he admittedly finds irresistible. “There’s that huge disparate gambler in me, I guess,” he said over Zoom from a hotel room in New York City.
So, it makes sense that he couldn’t pass up playing the lead in M. Night Shyamalan’s new psychological thriller “Trap,” where a father and daughter attend a massive concert for a pop star named Lady Raven, where the dad, portrayed by Hartnett, learns that the event is a setup to catch an elusive serial killer. Said serial killer is him.
As Cooper, Hartnett essentially had to play two roles in one — the outwardly charming prodigal father and “The Butcher,” a secret serial killer.
“His veneer, his mask that he’s putting out to the world, is really well intact at the beginning of this film.

In all of the vastly spread entertainment industry, perhaps no name comes as close to legendary as Morgan Freeman’s does. For one who has aced pretty much all of the roles he has been presented with, the 87-year-old actor has done wonders for the big screen and brought some of the most cinematic pieces of masterworks to global audiences.

For instance, his iconic portrayal of Lucius Fox in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy will forever remain one of his best performances to date. Especially the one scene where Freeman proved that he will forever be the boss while bullying one of Bruce Wayne’s employees who was threatening him in an entirely enjoyable moment from the 2008 masterpiece.

Zack Snyder’s reputation as a filmmaker has become very divisive since his tenure in the DC universe. While he has loyal fans, many do not enjoy his unique take on beloved IPs and characters. The director tried his hand at Star Wars-inspired sci-fi with the two Rebel Moon films on Netflix.

While the films had an ambitious vision and scope, the underwhelming executive and boring characters led to them becoming two of the worst-reviewed Snyder films. With the director’s cut of the films coming next month, a spinoff prequel in the form of a podcast has been announced but fans aren’t interested in the franchise anymore.

New Zealand’s own madman Ant Timpson returns to open the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival with his sophomore feature Bookworm, a story designed to warm your heart, break down your defenses, and make you believe in the power of magic. It’s a much more family friendly feature than I would have expected from Timpson after the rollercoaster ride of his pitch-black comedy Come To Daddy, but it’s a brilliant piece of filmmaking that further establishes his peculiar style and flair for visually stunning sequences.
While interviewing Timpson in support of Come To Daddy he explained to me that the film was, in part, an attempt to make the kind of movie that he and his father would have watched together. And I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to assume that Bookworm is the kind of movie that he would want to watch with his own kids.

Anyone familiar with Zack Snyder’s films recognizes his distinctive and often polarizing approach to filmmaking. Snyder is celebrated as a visionary by some and criticized as a disappointment by others, but he never fails to evoke strong reactions. While he has delivered some of the most iconic comic book adaptations, he has also faced criticism for several shortcomings.
Snyder’s style is characterized by its dark and gritty tone, occasionally blended with campiness and exaggerated elements—an unusual combination that can be challenging to balance (as evidenced by Schumacher’s Batman films). His works provoke both praise and scrutiny, yet one consistent trait is his affinity for eccentricity.
And superheroes are central to his work. Whether they’re adaptations of comic books or not, all of his films fall within this genre. In a recent interview featured on Letterboxd, Snyder shared his thoughts and perspectives on superheroes as a whole.

For many, watching Johnny Depp movies has become a fraught experience. Once touted as a quirky character actor with matinée idol good looks, Depp became an alt-sweetheart of outsiders and Goths everywhere, frequently taking on "weirdo" roles. He worked with strange filmmakers like John Waters and, most often, Tim Burton, mostly to strip away the pressures of being a Hollywood pretty-boy, determined to prove himself as a performer who prefers the fringe.
He was also seen, for many years, as a Hollywood "bad boy," and he struggled with alcoholism and drug-fueled violent outbursts. In 1989, he was arrested in Vancouver for getting violent with a security guard. In 1994, he was arrested again for trashing a hotel room and had to pay over $9,000 in damages. He was arrested once more in 1999 for fighting with paparazzi. In 2012, Depp's security guards were sued by an Irvine medical professor for roughing her up and handcuffing her.

Everyone who’s seen even one Zack Snyder movie knows that the filmmaker has a very specific and, in many ways, unique approach to his movies. Snyder is a visionary for some and a failure for others, but he doesn’t leave you indifferent, that is certain. He has made some of the most iconic comic book movies of all time, but he also made several horrible failures.
Snyder’s approach is specific. It is dark and gritty, but at the same time, it can be both campy and over the top, which is something that is not that easy to do since dark and gritty are rarely compatible with campy (just remember how Schumacher failed with Batman). Some of his works are lauded, some are criticized, but we can definitely confirm that he likes one thing – eccentricism!
And superheroes. All of his movies fit in this genre, whether they...

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's latest high-concept thriller, Trap, which stars Josh Hartnett as a serial killer cornered by the cops while attending a concert with his daughter.
All the brief synopsis tells us is that "a father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event," but thanks to the first teaser, we already know there's a lot more to the premise.
Noticing a large police presence in and around the venue, Hartnett's Cooper persuades a vendor to tell him what's going on, and finds out that the cops have been tipped off that a notorious serial killer known as The Butcher will be attending the concert.
Cooper then goes to the bathroom to check his home security system, and we see that he has a man tied up in a chair screaming for help.

This year can’t be really considered fruitful for top-notch crime flicks. Yes, we’ve seen such decent gems as Jason Statham’s The Beekeeper and Glen Powell Hit Man that contained some elements of the genre, but the other ones were quite disappointing.
However, one incredibly captivating neo-noir gem was released this March, and it offered a unique combination of the genres that is now rarely seen on the big screen. We bet you still haven’t seen it; luckily, it begins streaming on Max already next month.
This movie gem starts by introducing us to Lou, an asocial gym manager who comes from a criminal family that is holding the whole town in its hands by possessing an illegal weapon business. She is forced to stay in town as she protects her weaker sister.
However, her life turns upside down when she meets bodybuilder Jackie, for whom she falls heavily in love.

Several years ago, Netflix shook things up by not only including top ten charts on its platform for viewers to see, but the streaming giant also made a whole website dedicated to sharing viewership metrics. It has provided an odd window into what people are watching on the world's largest streaming service at any given time. At the moment, a whole bunch of people are watching a new action flick called "Trigger Warning," which stars Jessica Alba as an ass-kicking Special Forces soldier/bar owner.
As of this writing, director Mouly Surya's film is sitting firmly in the number one spot on the Netflix movie charts ahead of the DreamWorks animated flick "Home" and Universal's "Fifty Shades of Grey." The latter film's star, Dakota Johnson, has been having quite the run on Netflix, as Marvel's "Madame Web" recently dominated the charts as well -- but that's another story altogether.

It's been a while since we've seen Jessica Alba leading a film - in 2018, she pivoted to focus on her billion-dollar sustainable brand The Honest Company, which she stepped down from as chief creative officer in April. But in her latest movie, "Trigger Warning," Alba not only returns to the screen; she also makes a rare appearance as a Latina lead of an action flick.
In the movie, which was released on Netflix on June 21, Alba plays Parker, a US special forces commando stationed overseas who takes a trip back to her hometown after learning her father has died (which she later discovers was caused by a murder). The "Dark Angel" and "Sin City" actress, who also worked as the film's executive producer, says she made sure every detail behind her Mexican-American character was as authentic as possible.
It's no secret that Latines are major moviegoers and yet remain underrepresented on-screen.

Every summer, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invites a deluge of new members to join its ranks. Since #OscarsSoWhite back in 2015, the Academy has moved away from its elitist tendencies and toward embracing younger and more diverse artists and executives from all over the world. This year’s invited class is no exception.
If the invitees all accept Academy membership, the total members will number 10,910 and voting members 9,934. And with the addition of the 2024 members, 35 percent of Academy members identify as women, 20 percent of Academy members are from underrepresented ethnic and racial communities, and 20 percent of Academy members are from countries or territories outside the U.S.
As usual, a slew of Oscar nominees and winners are gaining admittance to the club (71 Oscar nominees and 19 winners), including actors Lily Gladstone (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), Sandra Hüller, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Holdovers”), costume designer Holly Waddington...
