Nicole Kidman Explains Why She Made The AMC Commercial And Wants To Keep Making Them

To some, she's "Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman". To us, she's "AMC Icon Nicole Kidman". Anyone who has been to an AMC theater in the last few years knows what we're talking about: the theater chain's pre-movie promo video featuring Kidman in a pinstriped suit, settling in for a good movie and waxing poetic about the connective, communal nature of cinema. And though there have been many jokes made about the clip and its successors, they were created with serious intention, which Kidman told Elle in a March 2024…

Clive Owen Detective Series Is a Big Disappointment

For a character who is at the center of one full-length story, The Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade is as iconic as it gets in the world of detective fiction. Dashiell Hammett‘s book, and John Huston’s 1941 movie adaptation with Humphrey Bogart, loom impossibly large over the gumshoe genre, to the point where Spade is just as famous as Philip Marlowe and Mike Hammer, who have appeared in far more novels and films over the years. But the Sam Spade who appears in the new miniseries Monsieur Spade is not a legend where and…

10 Christmas Horror Movies Streaming on Shudder

Black Christmas (2006) Theatrical Trailer HQGlen Morgan of X-Files fame wrote and directed this remake, which keeps the sorority-house setting but up the gore level and alters the backstory. It wasn’t well-received upon release, but the cast alone (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michelle Trachtenberg, Katie Cassidy, Lacey Chabert, Andrea Martin) is worth giving it a second look, especially now that it’s soon to be just one click over from the original. (To watch the 2019 Black Christmas remake, which you should, you’ll need to…

AMC scraps plan to charge more for better seats
