The trailer for Rob Zombie’s “The Munsters” reimagining centers on Lily (Sheri Moon Zombie) begging her father (Daniel Roebuck) for the man of her dreams. After a few failed attempts with a Nosferatu-esque bachelor, Herman Munster (Jeff Daniel Phillip) is made in Frankenstein’s essence. The family eventually relocates from Transylvania to the American suburbs with hijinks ensuing. Elvira, aka Cassandra Peterson, stars as real estate agent Barbara Carr, with Jorge Garcia, Richard Brake, Catherine Schell, and Sylvester McCoy rounding out the ensemble cast....

Netflix’s logline for the dark fantasy show reads: “A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, ‘The Sandman’ follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he’s made during his vast existence.” The series announced its cast earlier this year which includes Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death and Mason Alexander Park as Desire....

As it’s requisite for a road movie to start, “The Unknown Country” opens with a departure. Tana (Lily Gladstone), a seemingly reserved Native American woman, leaves Minnesota for a cross-country trip in her well-loved vehicle. No details of what she is running from or toward are provided at this point. Dwarfed by the immensity of snowy landscapes in aerial wide shots, her car pushes on through empty roads enshrouded in contemplative stillness....

“The White Lotus” is created, written, and directed by White, who also serves as an executive producer alongside David Bernad (HBO’s “Enlightened” and “7 Days in Hell”) and Nick Hall (HBO’s “We Are Who We Are”). The series is co-executive produced by Mark Kamine. White previously created “Enlightened” for HBO; the comedy series was critically acclaimed and ran for two seasons from 2011 to 2013 before being cancelled due to low ratings....

In direct contrast to, say, the “Game of Thrones” opening credits’ insistence on getting us to know who lives where, “The Witcher” doesn’t offer viewers any understanding of where Cintra is in relation to Nilfgaard, or how big The North is, or how far it is from Oxenfurt to Sodden. “The Witcher” has no interest in presenting its invented geography as a way for us to believe in that world, and deliberately avoids using that kind of a top-level view to get us to care about Ciri (Freya Allen), Geralt (Henry Cavill), and Yennifer (Anya Chalotra)....

The “Thor: Love and Thunder” writer/director confirmed multiple cut scenes featuring Jeff Goldblum and Peter Dinklage, plus Lena Headey’s MCU debut, as the takes were not “good enough” to make it into the final feature. Goldblum and Dinklage previously played the Grandmaster and Eitri in the intergalactic Marvel installments. “I’m not going to give you a moment because this is my way of telling you, like, people say, ‘I can’t wait for the deleted scenes with those actors,’” Waititi told Insider....

Satoko (Hiromi Nagasaku) and Kiyokazu (Arata Iura) are a middle-class couple grappling with infertility in contemporary Tokyo. While Satoko desperately wants a child, Kiyokazu’s sperm (along with any sort of fathering streak) is blocked, leading them to consider alternate modes of conception. Kiyokazu is too terrified of the idea of an invasive surgery, leading them to call off a trip to Sapporo and stare down the barrel of childlessness. But there’s an option....

Based on the trailer, Hart is playing a character seemingly inspired by himself, an ultra-successful comedian named The Kid. Life appears to be good, but when Kid’s older brother (Wesley Snipes) shows back up in his life, it threatens to destroy not just the Kid’s career but could see more violent things unfold. Right now there’s little else to go off of, including what exactly is going to land the Kid in hot water, but there’s a serious desire to make this a heavy drama....

Pixar has never shied away from the tough stuff — there are entire generations of kids who have being guided through the cold terror of nothing less than death, world-wide destruction, and even the afterlife through the animation giant’s charming productions — but Domee Shi’s instant classic “Turning Red” marks the first time Pixar has gone all-in on perhaps the scariest, funniest, weirdest thing of all: puberty. Kicking off with incredible, unfailing energy, Shi introduces us to her wonderful Mei (voiced by the charming Rosalie Chiang), a Toronto native attempting to navigate the wilds of middle school, being an only child, and the full force power of a first crush....

Not to be too crude about an episode introduced by two children, but “WandaVision” is back on its bullshit. The first third of the series was spent holding back information, asking audiences to invest in Wanda’s increasingly unbelievable realities, without providing any significant reasons as to how or why she was playing house with her dead boyfriend. Patience was tested, but after Episode 4 broke from the sitcom format to let us know what’s going on in the real world and Episode 5 successfully balanced life in- and outside of Westview, there was reason to hope Jac Schaeffer’s nine-episode limited series had found its groove....

Near the end of Episode 8’s third flashback — Wanda’s “Christmas Carol”-esque trip to the Avengers’ compound where she first lived with Vision — the sentient android sits down next to the all-powerful witch and tries to understand the healing nature of sitcoms. His struggle, like all things with Vision, is completely reasonable. Even for us humans, “healing” likely isn’t the first word that comes to mind when thinking of sitcoms....

Arguing in favor of its format, the limited series is very much about TV. Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch (and played by Elizabeth Olsen), finds herself living through a version of ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s era TV sitcoms, alongside her atypical romantic partner, a synthetic android named Vision (Paul Bettany). The couple constitutes a classic pair: a homemaking housewife and an office drone husband; she frets over fitting in with the neighbors, and he stresses over a promotion being dangled at work....

Expanding the runtime from 104 minutes to eight hours and adding a love story to the office drama, Drew Crevello and Lee Eisenberg’s low-key satire of WeWork’s rise and fall doesn’t suffer all the same flaws as its unscripted predecessor. Leto ably captures Neumann’s magnetism, which was oft-discussed yet never realized in the doc. The series’ structure is sound, doing just enough to support yet another in media res opening....

The opening episode of this TV version of “Willow” does all it can to thread the nostalgia needle, right from the opening minutes. The series kicks off with a recap that reduces the 1988 Ron Howard film to a “Previously on,” the first indication that the show is initially banking more on lore and familiar characters than recapturing the overall spirit of the original. True to form, the show’s title character is given the grand, hallowed reveal we’ve come to expect from these decades-later revisits....

During an interview Wednesday at Variety’s Power of Women summit, Sarnoff, WarnerMedia’s head of studios and networks, was asked whether she thinks the December 25 release date will stick. “I hope so,” she said. “It really is about how the U.S. continues to open and whether there are any other surges. We’ve got a little bit of time to figure that out.” “Wonder Woman,” like countless other movies, has seen its planned release date shifted several times amid the pandemic....

The premium network recently revealed the trailer for the upcoming 10-episode survival drama, along with the official description: Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, “Yellowjackets” is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over....

This time Cameron expands the universe of Pandora by going underwater for splendor and adventure with the introduction of the Metkayina reef clan. In this regard, Cameron has truly become the heir apparent to his idol, Jacques Cousteau, and has outdone himself with innovation, thanks to the VFX wizards of Wētā FX and his other crafts teams. Once again, Cameron has proven that 3D isn’t dead, and has given us a reason to return to theaters this holiday season....

To have been eligible for Oscars consideration in the aforementioned feature film categories, films had to meet a variety of requirements, including being over 40 minutes in length and having a theatrical qualifying run of at least seven consecutive days in one of the six qualifying U.S. cities (Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and the Bay Area). Among the 27 films eligible in the Animated Feature Film category are A24’s stop-motion film “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” and Netflix’s rotoscoped animated film “Apollo 10 ½,” which both had their eligibility put into question as the former incorporates live-action film techniques, even using live actors like director Dean Fleischer Camp himself, while the latter use what the Academy first deemed too much live-action footage (director Richard Linklater requested an appeal to the decision and won)....

Historically, the Indie Spirit winners tend to zag from the projects and performances the Academy highlights. For example, the last ceremony awarded Best Feature to “The Lost Daughter,” Best Male Lead to Simon Rex (“Red Rocket”), and Best Female Lead to Taylour Paige (“Zola”), picks that did not even cross over with Oscar nominations. This year, however, the idiosyncratic awards body aligns well with projects that prognosticators suggest will receive much love from the Academy....
