https://movieweb.com Top movie lists from the experts at MovieWeb. Sat, 12 Aug 2023 00:22:24 GMT en-US hourly 60 We are undeniably living in an era where some stories for cinema are often based on — whether directly adapted or subtly inspired by — real-life monumental events that have shaped history. Movies like Zero Dark Thirty, Hidden Figures, and The King's Speech are just a few critically and commercially acclaimed stories that brought to life significant periods of human history. Of course, there are films on the other end of the quality spectrum that, though based on real life, are devoid of authenticity, or fail in terms of accuracy. One genre that has been a staple in cinema history — and one that we are currently witnessing a boom of sorts — is the biopic, or biographical movie.

The term, originally coined by French critic Nino Frank, was the outsider who observed what had been unraveling on the big screen. To define noir by its atmosphere and the list of clichés would be a disservice to the masterpieces that fit into its description, but, it's a good place to start. The films often have a cast of misfits, desperate people, low-level criminals, hard-boiled detectives, the hard-drinking man caught in over his head, and the femme fatale. The noir film had its ingredients but what was present was the use of hard shadows and a sense of melancholy to elevate the pulpy material.

While those are both great roles, Pratt has actually starred in a number of films outside these renowned properties. Indeed, Pratt mostly dabbles in humorous roles that showcase his personality, but in the films where we get to see his comedy combined with action sequences, we get award-winning performances. With roles in sci-fi/fantasy films to Disney Animation films and starring as a LEGO character, Pratt’s filmography is extensive and combines his silly demeanor with edge-of-your-seat performances.

Whether that’s still true in current society, where things are rapidly changing as much for cinemas as for the audience itself, remains a big question within the industry. The global pandemic, COVID-19, changed the way many viewers watched movies and essentially moved the idea of streaming forward. On top of that, the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike has had a serious impact on the production and release of films and television shows, with many upcoming releases being pushed back. There are ongoing questions on whether both of these changes within the media industry will have a major effect on traditional cinema viewing.

The fall of the studio system in the 1970s gave way to an entire movement of young, disaffected filmmakers who made their own kinds of movies, free of the rigid constraints of Hollywood. Chilling terror classics like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the original Halloween came out of this period, and laid the blueprint down for slasher films to come.

The sequel, titled The Exorcist: Believer, will not address the second and third films, but the director, David Gordon Green, says Believer will not attempt to erase the sequels as his 2018 Halloween retcon did. Believer is about two teen girls who go missing for three days, and after they are found, they cannot remember the time they were missing and begin acting abnormally. The girls become possessed by two demons, and their parents struggle to find help. Chris MacNeil, the mother of Regan, the possessed girl in the 1973 film, returns to advise the parents in seeking an exorcism.

In this science fiction film, the future is closer than further away. Society depicted in this film resembles the present in that AI is ever-present, making life seemingly more convenient. Unfortunately, with these conveniences come some trouble. For example, specialists like therapists are AI bots instead of real people, who advocate for more AI. Additionally, the way humans procreate is shifting from a natural pregnancy to using an incubator capable of growing a child. These incubators are called pods and are intended to bring parents closer together to experience pregnancy with the assistance of tech.

Whether it's to revel in excessive practical effects or feel that familiar tingle in our spine, there's a horror movie for just about every mood. But between horror comedies and even horror-themed romances, there's one thing the genre does best: delivering scares. Sometimes, all you need out of a horror movie is a good scare. Ever since the genre's inception, tales of the macabre, stories of the supernatural, and all other kinds of paranormal happenings have made us cower behind our couches and sleep with nightlights on. But with so many horror movies available at our fingertips, how can we find a movie that's guaranteed to chill our blood?

Movies often get the green light for production, only to be halted for various reasons just weeks later. Actors have to have the tenacity to roll with the ups and downs of movie production, and sometimes it doesn't always turn out well. Some actors have to give different genres, directors, or co-stars a try before they find their niche and hit their stride.

]]> Fri, 11 Aug 2023 12:01:24 GMT https://movieweb.com/lesser-known-horror-movies-with-a-cult-following/ As with other genres, horror sequels can be a hit or a miss. It is rare that a horror sequel surpasses the original, and it is more than likely that the sequels will be subpar to the original. Sometimes the sequels are mostly as good as the original, at least enough to warrant a franchise, such as the case with the Scream movies. Sequels in any genre of film run the risk of being perceived as insignificant compared to the original, and unfortunately, many of them are unnecessary. We have seen it with blockbuster franchises that continue to pump out new movies just because it will make money, not necessarily because it adds anything new or insightful to the franchise. With horror, it's usually a smart move to make sequels, because traditionally horror movies cost less to make than other movies. The difference is, horror sequels don't just run the risk of not living up to the original or being subjectively awful, they run the risk of not being scary.

Some of these titles were space operas like Flash Gordon — the source material that inspired the creation of Star Wars to begin with (via THR) and Battle Beyond the Stars, among others. While none of these got nearly the same attention film filmgoers and critics, it resulted in a fascinating decade for genre movies where no concept was off the table, and film buffs love revisiting this era to this day.

First released in 1981 with the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Indiana Jones franchise became a major hit. The combination of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas is one key reason why this series has received such a large fan base. However, the protagonist, "Indy", also plays a significant role in attracting the audience, and so, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a must-watch for anyone who likes adventure films, or Ford or just, Indiana Jones.

This movie stars Eddie Murphy as Jim Evers, a real estate agent who tends to prioritize his job over his family and his own life. When this eventually drains his wife and children, Jim arranges a vacation for everyone, but along the way, he pays a quick visit to a mansion he plans to sell.

Imagine moving into a new house with excitement, only to discover that it is haunted by malevolent spirits or that there’s someone (or something) lurking inside. Picture yourself lying in bed, hearing strange music playing in an empty hallway by an unseen figure, hearing strange knocks on your door and noticing strange, vengeful beings in your home. It is indeed unsettling, and that’s the power of horror.

He was part of the American New Wave, where young artists were pushing mainstream film in a new direction.

Indeed, alongside these traditional elements, state-of-the-art computer graphics is becoming a staple to attract viewers. For instance, billion-dollar-grossing movies like Avengers: Endgame, Avatar, and Spider-Man: No Way Home are few in the ocean of CGI-packed movies that revolutionized the cinematographic experience. Naturally, movies and shows are receiving an increasing technical makeover to keep up with this trending formula.

However, while there is darkness, there is a brightness to it also. By incorporating comedy into their grim topics, these films make for a more breathable experience. This breaks the story away from being labeled as either a drama, horror, or even simply a comedy itself, and allows the film to tackle provocative concepts without ostracizing audiences.
