Watch: Osborn and Octavius meet in newly released ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ clip

With everyone and their aunt having seen Spider-Man: No Way Home by now, spoilers are fair game so the official Spider-Man YouTube channel is starting to release clips from the threequel blockbuster. While Marvel and Sony are yet to officially share any footage of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s returns, however, this new clip showcases the movie’s villains coming together for the first time. See it for yourself above.

Having been escorted back to Doctor Strange’ sanctum, a confused Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe) is confronted by old colleague Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), who cruelly calls him a “walking corpse.” Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) confirms the truth to Peter Parker (Tom Holland) that both of these villains ended up dying while fighting their universe’s version of Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Jamie Foxx’s Electro is chilling in his cell.

One of last year’s finest hidden gems slices through the streaming charts

One of last year’s finest hidden gems slices through the streaming charts

Due to the onset of the pandemic, the VOD market has been flooded by more titles than ever before, as studios and production companies fled from the big screen in their droves. One of the downsides is that plenty of fantastic features may have slipped under the radar, and we can definitely count Till Death among them.

The action/thriller/horror/home invasion hybrid was released digitally in July of last year, before making its way to Netflix a couple of months later, but the movie doesn’t get anywhere near as much praise as it should, despite holding an impressive 89% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Ryan Reynolds takes another hilarious shot at ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

Ryan Reynolds takes another hilarious shot at ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

In between filming huge projects like Red Notice and Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds is enjoying his favorite hobby: Dragging 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

He’s made an art form out of skewering the film in the years since it debuted. The film was a massive disappointment to fans of the Merc with a Mouth, utterly butchering the character fans had come to know in comics. Reynolds agreed to do the film despite knowing, even as it was being filmed, that the character would be a bust. Due to this, he has delighted in crucifying the film whenever the opportunity arises.

Here’s why J.K. Simmons was reluctant to take ‘Being the Ricardos’ role

Here’s why J.K. Simmons was reluctant to take ‘Being the Ricardos’ role

J.K. Simmons teaming up with Aaron Sorkin should be a no-brainer, right? Yet, writer/director Sorkin had to convince the Academy Award-winning actor to join the cast of his latest film.

Being the Ricardos is Sorkin’s third feature film as a director and 10th as a writer. Much like most of his biopics, Being the Ricardos tells a snapshot of I Love Lucy stars and real-life married couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz during the course of one contentious week of their lives.

Benedict Cumberbatch admits his controversial ‘Zoolander 2’ character was a mistake

Benedict Cumberbatch admits his controversial ‘Zoolander 2’ character was a mistake

While 2001’s Zoolander was one of the biggest comedy movies of the decade, its belated sequel Zoolander 2 sunk without a trace when it arrived in 2016. One of the only reasons anyone really paid it any attention was the controversy that swirled around Benedict Cumberbatch’s cameo in the film. The Doctor Strange star played All, a non-binary fashion model, a character many thought was offensively outdated.

Speaking in conversation with his Zoolander 2 co-star Penelope Cruz as part of Variety’s Actors on Actors interview series, Cumberbatch opened up his regrets over the role. The British actor admitted that the part shouldn’t have gone to a cisgender person such as himself, and his decision to accept the gig “backfired” on him, although he attempted to explain how he had felt the joke wasn’t on his character but those that mocked them.

The 7 best horror comedy films

The 7 best horror comedy films

Good comedy is very similar to good horror. It’s all about the unexpected, the timing, and the build-up followed by a shocking climax. However, while one seeks to make you laugh, the other is there to inspire fear, and while the fusion is an uncommon one, the few that exist have yielded great results.

As the horror genre has evolved, horror comedies have become more relevant, and here are some of the best that modern cinema has to offer.

A serial killer thriller saved by a career-best performance stalks the Netflix charts

A serial killer thriller saved by a career-best performance stalks the Netflix charts

There’s been a very bizarre and slightly unsettling infatuation with infamous serial killer Ted Bundy unfolding across the film and television sphere recently, with no less than five projects revolving around his crimes having arrived since the beginning of 2019 alone.

Netflix’s Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes was followed by Amazon’s own docuseries Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer, while Chad Michael Murray played the role in last year’s American Boogeyman, which was released less than two weeks before Luke Kirby inhabited the notorious murderer in No Man of God.

An Amber Heard movie that ended in 4 lawsuits and a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score finally succeeds on streaming

An Amber Heard movie that ended in 4 lawsuits and a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score finally succeeds on streaming

As you may have noticed, Amber Heard is a rather polarizing figure among the general public, thanks to her long-running and bitter legal battles opposite ex-husband Johnny Depp.

In front of the camera, the actress has been maintaining a relatively low profile, with forgotten drama Gully and CBS’ Stephen King adaptation The Stand the only projects she’s shot on either side of comic book blockbuster Aquaman and upcoming sequel The Lost Kingdom. However, the curious case of London Fields is definitely something worth mentioning.
