Part of the joy of experiencing a Gore Verbinski film is the spontaneity. You never know where he might go next. Sometimes, he offers family-friendly fun with quirky romps like the live-action comedy Mousehunt or the animated Western Rango. Sometimes, he relishes in more mature fare, winning hearts with the Brad Pitt/Julia Roberts action-romance The Mexican or spurring chills with the iconic horror film The Ring. He stacked up studio cred and scads of fans by helming the first three entries of the swashbuckling franchise Pirates of the Caribbean....

25 years ago, in 1994, Jim Carrey starred in three movies that were each a blockbuster smash: Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. But it’s the latter that really made him a star. Carrey famously hates doing sequels to his movies, since he doesn’t like to play the same character twice, but he returned to the role of Ace and there’s a good reason for that. He’s a hilarious character....

That partnership got off to a great start when The Ridiculous 6 broke viewership records for the streaming service, and things have only grown more fruitful from there....

The recently-announced Ant-Man 3 shows MCU’s limits. Often considered one of the lower-tier MCU franchises, the Ant-Man films have been solid performers when it comes to critics and the box office, but they have never been massive hits.

Although Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is still in theaters all over the world, Quentin Tarantino has considered turning it into a streaming miniseries – but that would be a terrible idea. Four years after his eighth film, The Hateful Eight, Tarantino came back with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a comedy-drama set in 1969 Los Angeles, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie. Like Inglourious Basterds, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is Tarantino’s reimagining of real-life events, in this case the Charles Manson murders....

Apple’s Spring Loaded event was a fast-paced one with plenty of good news, but it wasn’t enough to reverse an AAPL fall seen on the day, and continuing into after-market trading. The day saw AAPL fall 1.28% during trading, and it continued to fall (albeit at a slower pace) in after-market deals … As TechCrunch notes, this wasn’t specific to AAPL: The Nasdaq index as a whole lost 0.92%. But it still seems odd that it wasn’t reversed in after-market trading in response to what was a pretty encouraging series of announcements....
