This summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has all the potential in the world to be one of the year’s biggest movies, but there’s an air of bittersweetness hanging over the long-awaited Marvel Cinematic Universe threequel. Even though we’ve seen the team in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, as well as Thor: Love and Thunder and their own Disney Plus Holiday Special, it’s been six years since Star-Lord and the gang last took center stage in their own solo movie. Vol. 3 also happens to be the last, with James Gunn…

Gerard Butler recently admitted that he felt equal parts complemented and humiliated after being called the “King of the B-Movie,” but if he wants to evolve into the Tom Hanks of the genre as he so boldly proclaimed, then maybe he’ll need to tackle more projects like Law Abiding Citizen. Critics may have been fairly derisory in their assessment of the preposterous vigilante thriller by bestowing it with a mere 26 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, but over 250,000 users have awarded the film a sizeable 75 percent rating…

This February, Dynamite is hosting the “family reunion from Hell,” featuring new bloodthirsty characters in the Vampirella Universe. Draculina: Blood Simple #1 written by Christopher Priest (Black Panther, Deathstroke) and drawn by Michael Sta. Maria (Vengeance of Vampirella) will introduce and flesh out even more of Drakulon’s finest (or most frightening?!).    Priest chatted with us about the upcoming title and how much fun the writer has been having in this bloody sandbox.     Deanna Destito: How has it been…

The thing about observing the multitudes of dining cultures in a city as boundless as Los Angeles is that every axiom can hold true at once.Was it a year when hotel restaurants and new concepts from corporatized groups advanced on the landscape with middle-of-the-road, something-for-everyone cooking? Yes. Are we more saturated than ever with pizza and burgers? Did enterprising chefs who scraped through 2020 with shoestring pop-ups find the footing to open some of 2022’s most promising new restaurants? Did some of our…

Not all superhero movies need to be comic book adaptations with massive budgets, and one offshoot to emerge during the never-ending boom is the vigilante thriller made for a fraction of what it costs to produce a Marvel or DC blockbuster, with Defendor falling into the same camp as Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass and James Gunn’s Super. Woody Harrelson delivers an excellently understated performance as Arthur Poppington, which isn’t an easy thing to do when our fearless protagonist takes it upon himself to adopt the moniker of…

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will soon make its debut on Netflix, having impressed critics and audiences who saw it during its brief theatrical run. The sequel follows Daniel Craig’s detective Benoit Blanc as he tackles an entirely new case, with the huge ensemble cast of the previous movie replaced by the likes of Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, and Kathryn Hahn. Johnson has additionally confirmed there’s going to be one more familiar face from Knives Out along for the ride, though he’s…

This past week, the L.A. Times’ annual list of the 101 best restaurants in Los Angeles came out. Our restaurant critic, Bill Addison, works tirelessly for months (all year long, really) to narrow down all the restaurants in Southern California into a succinct list for our readers. It’s an unenviable task because there are so many great restaurants to choose from; I would never be able to pick only 101. As you flip through his list, I hope you’ll be surprised by some places you’ve never heard of and pleasantly reassured…

Scientists have grown mini eyes from human cells in the lab. These eye organoids provide good models of the real thing to help scientists study diseases that cause blindness and potentially find treatments.Growing organs in lab dishes isn’t new in itself. You could almost build an entire body out of the mini-organs scientists have conjured up over the years, including brains, hearts, lungs, kidneys, livers, stomachs, pancreases, blood vessels, bone marrow and even hair follicles. But there’s something particularly…
