But one should never doubt the power of chocolate... or a singing, dancing, Timothée Chalamet, because Wonka is a hit.Spoilers of the Week: July 29thDirected by Paddington and Paddington 2's Paul King, Wonka—released in theaters December 15—has already crossed the $100 million mark in the U.S. Variety reports the film’s…

Unless something truly crazy happens, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be the final film in the DC Extended Universe that began 10 years ago with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. It was a universe dominated by Snyder’s decisions, which resulted in some memorable highs and embarrassing lows.

At one moment in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, characters are running through a mutated jungle, chased by lion-sized cockroaches while avoiding violent, human-eating plants. In another moment, multiple characters are standing around, their hair flowing wildly, delivering wooden dialogue that’s almost as painful for them to say as it is for us to hear. Spoilers of the Week March 7-11That mix of positive and negative is a great representation of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. It’s a movie that tries to be everything at the…

Next week sees the release of Aquaman & the Lost Kingdom, DC’s final movie of 2023. The original 2018 film was a billion-dollar hit, but the sequel feels like is occupying this weird space where it feels like it should’ve been out by now, or is farther away than it seems. Either way, if you were wondering about the future of the character, it sounds like the writing’s already on the wall.Spoilers of the Week: July 29th“It’s not looking too good,” Jason Momoa told Entertainment Tonight. The outlet asked him about the…
