CinemaCon 2026: Entering Eternia with the Cast and Director of ‘Masters of the Universe’ Bringing He-Man and Masters of the Universe to life is something that would be a challenge for any filmmaker. The dense world and complex characters coupled with a hardcore fanbase that has proven to be incredibly protective of its mythology are among some of the trickier barriers said filmmaker would need to navigate through. Fortunately for Amazon MGM Studios, they found the perfect filmmaker for the job with Travis Knight.

Lee Cronin’s ‘The Mummy’ Is a Viscerally Unsettling Reinvention of a Horror Icon The Mummy remains one of the most iconic figures of the classic movie monster era. For nearly 95 years, the character has been reimagined through horror, romance, and action-adventure, evolving with each generation without ever fully losing its mythic power. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy recognizes that any new take must do more than reinvent the monster. It also has to leave room to engage with the story’s cultural roots in a way that feels thoughtful, grounded, and free of the outdated stereotypes that have often shaped past depictions.

A Los Angeles Theatre Review: ‘Level Up!’ Gabriel Rivas Gomez's Level Up!, now having its world premiere at the Latino Theater Company, is a cute and ambitious multimedia-heavy play that is unfortunately bogged down by too many storylines. Despite the play utilizing the dead mother trope with a vastly underwritten part for the mother and heavy-handed virtue signaling moments when it comes to trans identity, there is a singular and incredibly endearing thread that will resonate for many involving the play's heroine and the love for her canine family member.

A Los Angeles Theatre Review: ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ I've been reviewing for theatre for about six years and throughout that time, I've seen incredible plays, mediocre plays, and plays that I wish I could expunge my memories of. But once in a while, I'll come across a production that completely surprises me in every way. Such is the case for Nocturne Theatre's Jesus Christ Superstar that has not only reinvigorated this classic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical with their astounding production work and talent but through conscious & well thought-out casting decisions, has given it urgent relevancy in the world we live today.

‘Maul — Shadow Lord’ is a Strong Yet Perplexing ‘Star Wars’ Animated Series It’s common knowledge that the Star Wars fandom is an extremely divisive one. However, if there’s one aspect of the nearly 50-year-old franchise that most are on the same page about is that the animated series succeed at doing what several of the live-action series don’t always nail: impeccable storytelling, effortless world building, and the bravery to go deep on spiritual and morality-related subject matter.
