In screenwriting lore, there is a character often referred to as “Morris the Explainer.” This is the person who shows up in the story to deliver the exposition that there’s just no other way of providing to either the other characters or the audience. In SMILE 2, which opened in theatres on Friday, October 18, that character is literally named Morris. Played by Peter Jacobson, he’s the one who relates the workings of a malevolent supernatural entity to troubled pop star Skye Riley (Naomi Scott). We first encountered the viral curse demon in 2022’s SMILE which, like SMILE 2, is […]Read On »

In the new series BRILLIANT MINDS, premiering on NBC Monday, September 23, with episodes then available for streaming on Peacock, Zachary Quinto stars as cranky but gifted New York neurosurgeon Oliver Wolf. BRILLIANT MINDS creator/executive producer Michael Grassi explains that the show was originally entitled WOLF but, due to Quinto’s past genre work (HEROES, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, STAR TREK, NOS4A2), prospective viewers thought it might be a show about a werewolf. The name was briefly changed to DR. WOLF, but that just made people think “Werewolf doctor. That’s not us.” Grassi has a lot of genre credits himself, having been […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Shyamalan, Hayley Mills, Alison Pill Writer-Director: M. Night Shyamalan Distributor: Warner Bros. Ever since writer-director M. Night Shyamalan broke out with his classic 1999 thriller THE SIXTH SENSE, he’s struggled to maintain the simplistic beauty of that Bruce Willis starrer. His subsequent films either leaned too heavy into a last act twist (that worked depending on the viewer – UNBREAKABLE, SIGNS) or were so pretentious the film was virtually unwatchable (THE HAPPENING anyone). Thankfully, the last decade has brought Shyamalan back to earth and has focused him. THE VISIT took him out […]Read On »
