Malignant: Where to Watch and HBO Max Release Details

Much will be said about James Wan‘s return to horror in the coming weeks. It’s a divisive movie, to say the least. But more than anything else, Malignant represents a chance for Wan to re-write the blockbuster horror playbook once again, just as he has several times before with franchises like Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. Will Malignant launch a new era for horror movies or will it go down as the Wan film we collectively don’t talk about when going over his directorial resume?

Shang-Chi Villain: Best Tony Leung Movies to Watch

Tony Leung’s portrayal of Wenwu takes the MCU villain to a whole new level in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the latest feature film in the franchise. Wenwu is complex and textured as written, but veteran actor Leung gives the role such gravity, a level of depth that can only be reached by one of the world’s leading performers. Wenwu easily tops the ranks of MCU’s best villains, but it wasn’t always clear Shang-Chi‘s villain would be a hit. Originally in the comics, Shang-Chi’s father was the xenophobic Asian caricature Fu Manchu. Later, Fu was replaced with…

Amazon’s Frank of Ireland is the rare debut season where you can tell that future seasons will well and truly knock it out of the park…” Read more at…
