Glen

Over the last month or so, I’ve been pondering the question: Which came first Top Gun: Maverick or Devotion? Both movies are about United States Navy fighter pilots, both are on the 2022 movie schedule, and both the Top Gun: Maverick cast and Devotion ensemble feature Glen Powell. It turns out Powell, who is also an executive producer on Devotion, had been developing the movie for quite some time, and when he was offered the role in the Top Gun sequel he had to ask Tom Cruise if he could make both movies. The actor…

You better watch out!Image: SyfyIt was festive, it was gory, it was campy, and it left the door open in the likely event Chucky gets a season three. The Christmas-themed “Chucky Actually” wrapped up a satisfying season two for Don Mancini’s horror comedy, but if the show does return, it’ll be without several of the show’s core characters so far.The reason for that, of course, is season two’s outrageous body count, which knocked out quite a few major cast members. The most spectacular death scenes were reserved for Father…

When it dropped in May, the audience response to Top Gun: Maverick was beyond incredible. The studio expected the film to be a hit, but they did not expect the movie to open at No.1 and stay in the top ten for an almost unheard-of 20 more weeks. Nor did they expect it to become the fifth-highest-grossing domestic release of all time, break a wild record for Paramount,  or be the biggest box-office hit of Tom Cruise’s career. Yet, all those things Maverick did. And one of the film’s stars, Glen Powell (Hangman), says he…

Jonathan Majors has made a strong impression in Hollywood in only a few years, tackling a variety of roles on the big and small screen (and leaving the internet feeling thirsty). He’s checking on the biopic genre box with his latest film, Devotion, which tells the story of history-making Naval fighter pilot Jesse Brown. It took some persuasion from co-star and executive producer Glen Powell for him to join, but compared to usual Hollywood deals, Powell’s pitch meeting happened in the hottest place possible. Majors…

For a town with just 307 residents as of the last census, Oak Glen contains multitudes. It’s a long-beloved autumnal haven for scores of Southern Californians seeking an “authentic” fall experience, complete with U-pick apples and warm cups of cider.“The attendant lure of Oak Glen for the flatlander, deprived of seasonal ebb and flow, is the chance to shop for apples where winter is a-comin’, where the leaves are changing and where your coat is cinched up against the thin, cool mountain air,” writer Chris Hodenfield…

L to R: Devon (Björgvin Arnarson), Jake (Zack Arthur), and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) are sent to Catholic school as punishment for their alleged actions in the season 2 opener.Image: SyfyThe second season of Syfy’s horror series Chucky kicked off with a bang this week. Showrunner/creator Don Mancini and the main cast teased what’s to come at New York Comic Con today: There will be oodles of trauma, new characters, and a cheeky homage to Jennifer Tilly’s 1996 crime thriller Bound in Episode 4.Season 2 of Chucky picks up a…

Photo: Rafy/SyfyFor reasons we won’t spoil here (suffice to say, it’s all Chucky’s fault), the three surviving teens from season one—Jake, Devon, and Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind)—get sent to a Catholic Church-run reform school early in season two. It’s a smart move for Chucky, giving the kids new challenges away from their parents (honestly, most of their parents are dead after season one... again, Chucky’s fault) while also allowing Mancini, who was raised Catholic, a chance for some cheeky commentary about religious…

The title of David Mamet’s Pulitzer prize-winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross, refers to two of the real estate developments that salesmen in the drama have been pushing on investors: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms. The names evoke verdancy and wealth, a precious swath of finite land – “they’re not making it any more”, to quote Mark Twain – and the salesmen have the glossy brochures to prove it. But it’s a swindle peddled by swindlers who themselves are being swindled. What they’re selling has no value and they…

Can you hear that diabolical cackle? Chucky returns soon! The hit horror series continues the killer doll’s reign of terror that began with Child’s Play back in 1988 with a sly, campy sense of humor and a remarkable ability to evolve with the times.
