Novel adaptations are a dime-a-dozen in modern cinema, although, every now and then, one seems to catch the eye thanks to many declaring the source material ‘unadaptable’.Colson Whitehead’s novelThe Nickel Boys, based on the Florida-based Dozier reform school that abused its young students for over 100 years, is one such book, considered such by those readers who saw each page as untouchably perfect and with a legacy best left untarnished.The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2020 and was even voted in TIME magazine’s best books of the decade....

He will be most well-known for his voice acting, famously vocalizing Darth Vader in the original Star Warstrilogy, and Mufasa inThe Lion King.His booming, baritone voice is something that no cinephile can forget. His feature film debut was inStanley Kubrick’s Cold War satireDr....

Yes, anotherJaredLeto/Joker story. Much has already been written about the Oscar-winningDallas Buyers Clubactor and his new iteration of The Joker coming to screens in writer/directorDavid Ayer’s villain-centric DC Comics adaptationSuicide Squadlater this year. Of course this was inevitable with a character as iconic as The Joker, and coming off a portrayal as singular asHeath Ledger’s turn. But Leto’s iteration of the character has also gained traction for his unique—and sometimes off-color—process....

We are in the midst of a Christian film renaissance, if you will.War Room,God’s Not Dead(the first one, not the sequel),Son of God, andMiracles from Heavenare recent examples of works that performed surprisingly well at the box office. Then you factor in Fox’s live performance ofThe Passion, and there’s clearly an audience for these types of entertainment. Continuing the growth of this specific genre is a film about Mary Magdalene, and today brings word thatJoaquin Phoenixis being eyed to portray Jesus Christ oppositeRooney Maraas the titular Biblical character....

One of the most tragic facts about cinema is thatJohn Carpenteris only being recognized asone of horror’s greatest directorsdecades after he should have been. While his title as the master of horror is now undisputed,there was a time when his films were largely derided by critics, only being re-evaluated following successful runs on home video and the midnight circuit.The Thingis the most infamous example,a film that is now considered a landmark of the genrebut was initially met with a level of vitriol that is almost unimaginable (with terms like “instant junk” and the “quintessential moron movie” being thrown around like confetti)....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is more successful but for most of the 2010s and early 2020s there have actually been two different shared universe franchises based on DC Comics. TheArrowverse TV franchise expanded from humble beginnings on The CW to include a plethora of series across networks and platforms while theDC Extended Universefilm franchise tried to directly emulate Marvel’s cinematic success.

When I walked out ofJohn Wickback in 2014, I thought to myself, “I need to know more about this world.” John Wick as a character (Keanu Reeves, of course) is a primal character, symbolic of a streamlined, professional form of terror and mayhem, so stripped of any unique, human qualities that he’s known literally as the Boogeyman. As such, I found myself gravitating to the film’s impeccable world-building for sources of inspiring imagination....

It’s a challenge to walk into an adaptation and keep your focus on assessing that single rendition of the story. We’re human and if you’re talking about a beloved video game, a favorite book, or maybe a comic book you’ve been following for years, it’s natural to have hopes and expectations. That being said, then maybe it’s only natural to miss certain details that were changed or axed entirely from the big screen version....
