Starz’s new series SPARTACUS: HOUSE OF ASHUR premieres Friday, December 5, with new episodes dropping on both cable and streaming platforms on Fridays thereafter. It is a speculative follow-up to the SPARTACUS trilogy of series that ran on the premium network 2010-2013. All are created by Steven S. DeKnight. SPARTACUS told the story of the rebel slave leader in ancient Rome. One of his opponents was the former Syrian gladiator Ashur, played by Nick E. Tarabay. SPARTACUS: HOUSE OF ASHUR imagines a world where Ashur, still portrayed by Tarabay, survives the events of SPARTACUS and founds his own gladiator school, […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Colman Domingo, Al Pacino, Myha’la Writer: Austin Kolodney Director: Gus Van Sant Distributor: Row K Entertainment Release Date: December 12, 2025 (theatrical limited), January 9, 2026 (theatrical wide) Although the events in the “based on a true story” DEAD MAN’S WIRE play as pretty absurd at times, archival news footage suggests that the real incident may have been even crazier than what’s in this movie. A 2018 documentary about the case, DEAD MAN’S LINE, is available on Amazon, but viewers of this narrative feature won’t need to search even that far […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Cassandra Naud, Emily Tennant, Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan Whitesell, Veronica Long, Dylan Playfair Writer: Kurtis David Harder Director: Kurtis David Harder Distributor: Shudder Release Date: December 12, 2025 (Shudder) While INFLUENCERS does not pick up immediately after the end of 2023’s INFLUENCER, it’s extremely helpful to watch the earlier film before diving into the sequel. In both, the main characters are Madison White (Emily Tennant) and influencer-hating fraudster CW (Cassandra Naud). INFLUENCERS fills us in to the required degree on their previous individual and shared histories, but INFLUENCER gives us more nuance and a greater […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Mads Mikkelsen, Sophie Sloan, Sigourney Weaver, Sheila Atim, David Dastmalchian, Rebecca Henderson Writer: Bryan Fuller Director: Bryan Fuller Distributor: Roadside Attractions/Lionsgate Release Date: December 12, 2025 Written and directed by Bryan Fuller in his feature directorial debut, DUST BUNNY has the magical aesthetic of a Disney fantasy, or perhaps the Fuller-created TV series PUSHING DAISIES. The environments are richly and whimsically decorated; a child uses a wheeled metal hippopotamus like a gondola around the apartment where she lives. But this isn’t one of those projects where we come away “humming the sets,” to borrow a Broadway expression. […]Read On »

For those less familiar with Pantone, it is an internationally accepted way of categorizing colors, shades and hues, so that, for example, a costume designer in Los Angeles can reach out to a cloth dyer […]Read On »

They are not always well-regulated and often seem designed with priorities other than their purported function of helping troubled teens.

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Key Art | ©2025 HBO

Stephen King’s novel IT was originally published in 1986. It was first adapted as a television miniseries in 1990, then made into a two-film duology, 2017’s IT and 2019’s IT: CHAPTER TWO. Both films were directed by Andy Muschietti, with his sister Barbara Muschietti as one of the producers. IT is set in Derry, Maine, where a nameless, shapeshifting monster surfaces every twenty-seven years to prey on the town’s denizens, especially its children. All iterations of IT follow the seven preteens of their self-titled Losers Club who band together to defeat it. When they don’t entirely succeed, they return to […]Read On »
