When Richard Dreyfuss walked onto the Mothership at the end of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” it was just about the first time — and also nearly the last — that a movie hero voluntarily went on any such ride. More familiar notes of terror and disorientation come with the UFO territory of Peter Cilella’s “Descendent.” It has “The Walking Dead’s” Ross Marquand as a working-class Southern Californian whose world comes unglued once he suffers an apparent alien abduction. Occupying the slippery-reality realm of “Jacob’s Ladder,” this effective first feature, debuting at SXSW, limns its protagonist’s unraveling with suspenseful skill.

But those expecting straightforward sci-fi horror may resent the writer-director’s insistence on sticking to an ambiguity, played somewhere between the narrative models of “Communion” and “Mysterious Skin.” Cilella never fully resolves whether our protagonist is, indeed, the victim of extraterrestrial meddling or instead suffering delusions triggered by delayed childhood-trauma memories,...

To tide you over until all the Jaws 50th anniversary festivities, you can catch Richard Dreyfuss‘ return to shark-infested waters with Into the Deep.

Currently available on VOD, the thriller swims onto Blu-ray and DVD on April 1 from Well Go USA. No special features are listed.

Dreyfuss appears alongside Halloween star Scout Taylor Compton, Callum McGowan, Jon Seda, and Queen of the Damned‘s Stuart Townsend.

While on vacation, a group of tourists are out diving for sunken treasure when a boat approaches. The modern-day pirates kidnap, kill and force the remaining group to retrieve the contraband submerged below.

In exchange for their lives, someone must enter the shark infested waters, but a massive great white shark is hunting them down and this killer is determined not to let anyone escape its waters.

“Jaws” has returned.

For the 50th anniversary of the Steven Spielberg-directed classic, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is presenting “Jaws:” The Exhibition, beginning on September 14, 2025. The exhibition will run through July 26, 2026. And, yes, you’re going to need a bigger boat.

Described as “first-ever exhibition of this scale at the Academy Museum focused exclusively on a single film,” “Jaws:” The Exhibition is the largest mounted exhibition ever for the film. According to the official release, the exhibition will “feature over 200 original objects—including concept illustrations by production designer Joe Alves, a costume worn by Roy Scheider as Brody, original shark design schematics by design engineer Frank Wurmser, and a screen used prop dorsal fin—plus behind-the-scenes revelations and interactive moments.”

The exhibition was curated “with direct access to the collections from Steven Spielberg and The Amblin Hearth Archive, NBCUniversal Archives & Collections.”

There’s a reason the worst “Oscar Bait” exists, and it’s not because Felix Unger’s roommate loves fishing. Over the course of nearly 100 years the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has proven that they, like all specific audiences, have a particular sense of taste. The movies that win the Academy Award for Best Picture tend to be serious dramas, often historical pictures and biopics, with important social messages. (Bonus points if it’s about World War II.)

There have always been exceptions, and recent years have trended more surprising, but some genres have a harder time breaking into the Best Picture category than others. Horror movies have historically had a hard time of it, since the genre — on which the industry has often financially relied — has frequently been disregarded by critics and the public at large as “low art.” This has always been a lie and great...

David Johansen, frontman of influential punk band the New York Dolls, has died. He was 75.

The musician, who also performed under the pseudonym Buster Poindexter, died on Friday at his home in New York City, his daughter Leah Hennessey confirmed to multiple outlets, weeks after revealing his stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

Hennessey announced her father’s diagnosis last month after Johansen’s healthcare left the family with an “increasingly severe financial burden” after he had been in “intensive treatment” for a majority of the past decade.

“Five years ago at the beginning of the pandemic we discovered that David’s cancer had progressed and he had a brain tumor. There have been complications ever since. He’s never made his diagnosis public, as he and my mother Mara are generally very private people, but we feel compelled to share this now, due to the increasingly severe financial burden our family is facing,...

Niagara Falls, Frankie… David Johansen, a vital figure in the punk scene of the 1970s, has passed away after a battle with cancer. He had also been suffering from a brain tumor and a broken back, all revelations Johansen made just weeks ago. He was 75.

While we could rattle off dozens of key names in the world of punk during that time, it would be absolutely incomplete without mentioning David Johansen, who fronted seminal proto-punk band the New York Dolls. The prime run of the New York Dolls was only two albums and half of the original lineup had left in 1975, but their impact in that short-lived time period is undeniable. Johansen was the last surviving original member.

But to say that David Johansen was known only for his contributions to punk would be to grossly shortchange his career. Johansen dabbled in various genres, showing an...

Why Did Steven Spielberg Want Less Red On Set Of Jaws? (Photo Credit – Prime Video/Facebook)

Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) is more than just a film. It’s a cinematic milestone that changed Hollywood forever. Often credited as the first-ever summer blockbuster, the movie not only terrified audiences worldwide but also redefined the thriller genre with its masterful suspense-building and groundbreaking special effects. Adapted from Peter Benchley’s novel, Jaws follows a small beach town terrorized by a great white shark, forcing Chief Brody (Roy Scheider), shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw), and marine biologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) to take the battle to the sea.

Beyond its technical brilliance, Spielberg’s meticulous attention to detail was crucial in shaping the film’s atmosphere. From John Williams’ haunting score to the strategic use of color, every creative choice added to Jaws’ immersive horror. In fact, Spielberg made an unusual request to his production designer.

Originally published Feb. 9, 2025 at 10 a.m.; updated Feb. 24, 2025 at 11 a.m. following the SAG Awards.

Since the nominations were announced on Jan. 23, the Oscar Best Actor race had narrowed into a two-man battle between a pair of two-time nominees: Adrien Brody of The Brutalist (who won his first time out) and Timothée Chalamet of A Complete Unknown (who didn't). It would be a significant upset if either of these actors didn't cart off the trophy. But shockers happen, as Brody himself knows all too well. If that happens, three other nominees are hoping to pounce: Ralph Fiennes for Conclave, Colman Domingo for Sing Sing, and Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice.

Let's analyze the Best Actor contest in greater depth.

The Frontrunner: Adrien Brody

Before diving into Brody's Brutalist bona fides, let's climb into the way-back machine to look at the actor's upset win in the category in 2003 for The Pianist.

Per Peacock, 2010'sRed will be joining the streaming platform's expansive catalog of films and TV shows on March 1. Better yet, the 2013 sequel, Red 2, will be coming along for the ride, filling out the series in one place rather than splitting it up across multiple services.

Since 1975 nearly a thousand hosts have graced the stage at Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center for “Saturday Night Live.”

Actors, comedians, musicians and even politicians have taken the stage to make America laugh on Saturday night for 50 seasons. Twenty five of these hosts have been inducted into the “Five Timers Club.” The club was first introduced during Tom Hanks’ 1990 monologue, featuring Steve Martin, Elliott Gould and Paul Simon.

During Martin Short’s December 2024 appearance, several Five Timers Club members popped up on the show to welcome him into the club, including Emma Stone, Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Kristen Wiig and more, to give him the ceremonial robe.

Alec Baldwin has hosted the show 17 times, the most in the series’ history, with Martin, Hanks, Buck Henry and John Goodman following close behind.

The family of David Johansen, the legendary singer for the New York Dolls and a charismatic screen presence, has launched a fundraiser as he faces both stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor.

David Johansen, the former frontman of seminal punk band New York Dolls and subject of a 2023 Martin Scorsese-directed documentary, has been revealed to have Stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor, his daughter wrote in an online crowdfunding campaign the family has launched as the musician’s health care has placed an “increasingly severe financial burden” following medical complications.

Today, viewers have a vast array of choices when it comes to where they get their movies. Streaming services feature plenty of options at various price points, but with the rising cost of subscriptions viewers can hardly be expected to have access to all of them. Luckily, there's another great option that doesn't cost a thing as long as they don't mind watching a few ads: YouTube.

The site's library of movies and TV shows is constantly growing and changing as new films arrive and existing ones shift to other platforms. It always has a wide variety to offer, however. From classic films like Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes to anime hits like Ghost in the Shell, there's something to satisfy audiences of all ages and tastes. Best of all, these movies are all currently available for free with ads, allowing viewers rewatch old favorites or find new ones.

Joe Berlinger, the groundbreaking U.S. director known for HBO’s Emmy-winning true crime docuseries “Paradise Lost,” is set to direct a feature film that will reimagine the cold war thriller “Fail-Safe.”

The 1962 novel by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler, which was originally adapted for the big screen by Sidney Lumet, depicts a harrowing scenario in which a “fail-safe” mechanical failure jams the United States military’s chain of command and sends the country hurtling toward nuclear war with the Soviet Union.

According to a statement, Berlinger’s take on the novel will use a “faux-cinéma vérité approach” to “reimagine what the world would look like today had the events in the book really happened in 1967, with the total nuclear annihilation of New York and Moscow.” The film “will combine high-stakes international drama and classic documentary-style storytelling to reinvent the Cold War political thriller for new audiences.”

Directed by Rob Reiner and released in 1986, Stand by Me is a classic coming-of-age drama based on the Stephen King novella The Body. Autobiographical in nature, The Body unfolded during King's childhood in 1960. The author used the pages of his story to recollect memories of nostalgia, mixed in with the childhood emergence of a reckoning with death in the banality of a postwar suburban landscape.

As an adaptation of The Body, Stand by Me found a way to include everything that already worked in King's narrative and elevated it to greater heights. Rob Reiner approached the project with loving attention to detail and charm, never losing any of the original story's resonance. While the film is incredibly faithful to the story that came before, there are some notable details at the movie's end that Reiner adjusted to make for a more significant emotional impact.

Last year, we learned that, forty-nine years after playing a major role in the Steven Spielberg classic Jaws (and fourteen years after making an appearance in Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D), Richard Dreyfuss had been cast in another film that promises to be packed with aquatic thrills, Vigilante Diaries director Christian Sesma’s Into the Deep. The film received a digital, On Demand, and limited theatrical release last Friday, and will be getting a DVD and Blu-ray release in the UK on February 3rd. To promote these releases, a clip from the film has dropped online and can be seen in the embed above.

Every now and then, a film comes along that transcends its genre, reshaping the cinematic landscape and becoming something of a cultural phenomenon. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws is one such movie.

Released in 1975, this thriller didn’t just win audiences over; it reinvented the concept of the summer blockbuster. But its influence didn’t stop there. Jaws secured a rare spot in the hearts of filmmakers worldwide, including one of the most celebrated animators of all time, Hayao Miyazaki.

From the pulse-pounding score that sticks to your bones to the ever-tightening noose of suspense, Jaws was a cultural earthquake, setting the stage for the blockbuster era that would follow. And then there’s that shark. It didn’t just swim into our screens—it sunk its teeth into the very heart of Hollywood, leaving a legacy that continues to send ripples through the industry.

A brand new theatrical release puts a unique twist on the classic haunted house movie, Richard Dreyfuss returns to the shark attack sub-genre, and one of the late Tony Todd’s final horror movies gets a posthumous release. And that’s just the beginning of this week’s new arrivals.

Here’s all the new horror that released January 20 – January 24, 2025!

As a young girl, Cassidy saw her father killed by a shark while getting her to safety. Now a grown woman, Cassidy is returning to the same stretch of coast near Reunion Island on the anniversary of his death to try to put her nightmares behind her.

Along with her husband Gregg, they’re going out on a charter run by his friend Daemon Benz. On the way out she has a flashback to her grandfather Seamus telling his students “The ocean is a dangerous wonder, you’re a visitor here. You are a guest of their kingdom. Be careful.” It’s the first of many platitudes we’ll hear from him before the film is done.

In the present, as Cassidy, Gregg and the other divers head to their destination,...

“Into the Deep” mixes traditional shark thriller elements with a hostage drama, offering an alternative to standard storytelling. The film opens as Cassidy witnesses her father’s death by a shark, establishing her emotional path. The story examines both human and natural dangers, showing how human greed and environmental damage connect to modern social fears.

Director Christian Sesma’s underwater camera work brings to mind the visual approach of French New Wave directors like Truffaut, showing the ocean as both beautiful and dangerous. Though the flashback scenes sometimes interrupt the flow, the film keeps viewers engaged.

Delving into Depth: Character Exploration in “Into the Deep”

Cassidy stands out as a deep character study in “Into the Deep.” Scout Taylor-Compton plays her character from wounded victim to strong survivor. Her path goes deeper than fighting off threats – she faces the mental wounds from seeing her father die. Her story reminds me of New Wave films,...

Full of cliche-riddled dialogue and bizarre flashbacks, this basic effort is only saved by a tacked-on lecture from Jaws star Dreyfuss

This pulpy yet weirdly woo-woo nautical thriller sets good-guy treasure hunters on a collision course with drug smugglers (bad guys) and great white sharks (morally neutral but still voracious). It’s like the plot was dreamed up by a hack who overheard his six-year-old pitting Lego figurines against one another. You start to expect that any minute Batman or Unikitty will join the fray which – frankly – would be an improvement. What we get instead is tired, cliche-riddled dialogue and bizarre flashbacks in which lead good guy Cassie (Scout Taylor-Compton) remembers how her oceanographer grandpa (Richard Dreyfuss!) encouraged her to face her fears in the water after she witnessed a great white kill her father when she was a kid.

Now an adult and an expert diver, Cass has returned...

Into the Deep releases January 24, 2025.

Richard Dreyfuss and sharks just don’t get along. I can relate. Sharks are my number one greatest fear and my phobia of the fish began with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Dreyfuss returns to the genre with Into the Deep, A film that blends elements of childhood trauma with the terrors of the ocean. Shark movies are a dime a dozen, and more often than not, they’re living in the saltwater shadow of Bruce the Shark. Into the Deep does its best to tread water, but ultimately fails to stay afloat.

Winning an Academy Award is one of Hollywood's greatest honors, and it often takes a lifetime's worth of work for actors, directors, filmmakers, or writers to finally get one. However, there have been rare instances where actors manage to skip the queue and jump straight into awards and accolades at extraordinarily young ages. While in many non-acting categories, it’s common for artists to work in Hollywood for decades before even gaining a nomination, it’s astonishing just how young some of the recipients have been.

Even though some extraordinary actors have yet to win Oscars, occasionally, the recipient's work is so impressive that the Academy took notice straight from the get-go and gave Oscars to incredibly young people. Sometimes, these wins have been so unprecedented that the actor has held on to their title as the youngest in their category for decades. As the youngest Academy Award winners ever,...

Years later, under the guidance of her grandfather Seamus, an oceanography professor played by Dreyfuss, Cassidy works to conquer her debilitating fear of the sea.

This article contains spoilers for Wicked (2024).

After seeing Wicked, the underrated Syfy's Tin Man is the perfect miniseries to watch for another interpretation of The Wizard of Oz. There are plenty of Wizard of Oz movies that reimagine the classic children's book by L. Frank Baum. There are even TV shows that have spun their own take on The Wizard of Oz, including Zelena in Once Upon a Time and NBC's Emerald City. Popular shows such as That's So Raven, Sesame Street, and Supernatural have had their own segments regarding The Wizard of Oz. There is no shortage of interpretations of this beloved story.

It seems that regardless of the actress' issues with Disney, she still has plenty of fans who are turning out to watch this movie from back when none of that was a problem.

Daughter of the Wolf is a Canadian action thriller telling the story of Clair Hamilton, an ex-military specialist played by Carano. Following the death of her father, Clair returns home to claim her inheritance. However, what she doesn’t bargain on is facing a harrowing ordeal when her son, Charlie, is kidnapped by a local...

"The ocean is a dangerous wonder. That kingdom is your kingdom, too." Signature Ent has revealed an official trailer for Into the Deep, yet another new shark movie to dive in with. This one is from filmmaker Christian Sesma, best known for a lot of junk B-movie action thrillers. Richard Dreyfuss returns to face off against the ocean's most deadly predator in this jaws-some underwater thriller. A group of divers searching for sunken treasure witness the murder of drug dealers by modern-day pirates, but a killer great white is determined not to let any of them escape its waters. A daughter must confront her greatest fear to survive and make it home alive. The movie stars Scout Taylor-Compton, Jon Seda, Stuart Townsend, and AnnaMaria Demara, along with Dreyfuss. This is an interesting concept mixing a pirate thriller with a shark horror. Still looks very cheap and cheesy, but hey, most...

Make no mistake: actors are an incredibly important part of the filmmaking process -- even when they make it exponentially harder than it has to be. Artists and storytellers in their own right, these craftspeople channel intense emotions and experiences into performances that help us empathize with the world.

Unfortunately, however, it seems this sort of job attracts intense, eccentric personalities as well. As a consequence, actors can be difficult to work with and, at times, inexcusably horrible even to their closest peers. Though some of them may claim their abuses as part of a grander process -- mere speed bumps on the journey to truth-telling -- the effect they have on the vulnerable people around them cannot be dismissed.

In the cases we found specifically, the actions of the actors have been publicly called into question by their scene partners, further disproving that much of this behavior is normal...

Movies about gambling follow a simple mantra: A character or characters go up against the odds, eschewing safe bets for a risky, life-changing move. The stakes are high, but the rewards are plentiful. Our protagonists encounter numerous obstacles during their journey and often incur severe losses. They almost always experience a moment of self-reflection and are faced with the ultimate choice: go all in or fold. Rinse and repeat.

Hundreds of movies about gambling exist to tell this same story time and again, with slight variations on the formula. Audiences turn up in droves to watch these powerful morality tales play out on the silver screen. And why not? The gambling genre presents the hero's journey in its purest form.

Spoilers ahead for the first episode of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew."

"Star Wars" is known for a lot of things. Lightsabers. Swashbuckling action. Tyrannical villains. Daring escapes. True love. Soul-searing music. Special effects extravaganzas. Incredible filmmaking. Within certain parameters, you know exactly what you're getting into with a live action "Star Wars" project.

Sure, that pendulum can swing pretty hard. On one side, you can get pretty gritty and realistic stories — "Andor," for instance — and on the other side you can get much more innocent, swashbuckling, kid-oriented adventures like "Skeleton Crew." But one thing that unites all of the "Star Wars" projects is the inspiration from other films that filmmakers pour into their work. Sometimes, those films can be from their own interests, like Rian Johnson bringing his love of "Brazil" into his masterpiece "The Last Jedi," and other times it can be filmmakers bringing George Lucas's foundational reliance...

Ron Perlman has had a remarkable career. His first film was an Oscar winner (Quest for Fire) from a great director; later that decade, he'd win a Golden Globe for the TV series Beauty and the Beast. He's been in everything from big franchise movies and international arthouse films to indie horror and numerous classics with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. But when MovieWeb spoke with Perlman about his new film with Liam Neeson, Absolution, he surprised us when he named the film in his career that he's the proudest of — and it's one hardly anybody has seen.

"I had a production company for about five or six years called Wing and a Prayer Pictures, and I produced about nine movies," explained Perlman. He continued:

"And the first one we identified was called Asher, and it was actually the last movie we produced. It was the movie that killed the company.

When Harrison Ford’s Carpentry Gig Changed His Life (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Harrison Ford as Han Solo? Almost didn’t happen—and it all started with, wait for it, a carpentry gig. Yep, before the Millennium Falcon and space shootouts, Ford was just a guy with a hammer and a toolbelt. Crazy, right?

Let’s rewind to 1973. George Lucas had just dropped American Graffiti, a flick that launched stars like Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfuss. And guess who else showed up? Ford, playing street racer Bob Falfa. The role wasn’t huge, but it gave him enough street cred to land on Lucas’ radar. Little did anyone know that the guy swinging a hammer would end up flying one of the most iconic ships in sci-fi history.

Now, fast forward to 1976. Lucas is in full-on Star Wars mode, but he had one rule—no-repeat casting. He was all about fresh faces,...

It could be any day, any night, any city, and Bill Murray could be there. Maybe this sad clown folk hero is hitting karaoke night or doing a frat’s dishes or crashing a kickball game or bartending at some random joint or giving a speech at a bachelor party or popping in for a wedding photo shoot. Bill Murray is that “fun” uncle, the loose one with no clear direction yet always grounded in…well, whatever he wants. Maybe he’ll show up, maybe he won’t. Maybe he’ll have a job this year, maybe he won’t bother. Maybe he’ll sock a male co-worker on the nose, maybe he’ll direct misconduct at a woman. Bill Murray is one unpredictable dude, his actions described as erupting “a trail of hysteria,” the man himself as “The Murricane.” Oh, and he’s made some of the greatest comedies,...
