Aardman’s flock of clay chickens is back. And so is their composer.
23 years after Chicken Run became a stop-motion smash hit, Ginger, Rocky, Babs, Mac and the rest of the coop are returning for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, landing on Netflix on Dec 15. If the music sounds similar, it’s because Harry Gregson-Williams, who composed the original score alongside John Powell, has also returned.
In the more-than-two decades since the first film, the L.A.-based Brit — who has worked closely with Hans Zimmer for much of his career — has scored dozens of major titles for filmmakers including Ridley Scott, Joel Schumacher, Ben Affleck and Antoine Fuqua. Alongside movies such as Shrek 1, 2 and 3, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Kingdom of Heaven, The Chronicles of Narnia, Prometheus, The Martian, The Meg and House of Gucci, the music man has also ventured back to Aardman for the...

Dana spent seven seasons on the SNL cast from 1986 to 1993, especially known for his impressions of George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot, as well as original characters like Church Lady, Hans (to Kevin Nealon‘s Franz) and Garth alongside Mike Myers in “Wayne’s World” sketches. He also won five consecutive Emmy nominations while on the show.

Episodes 3 and 4 of “Mrs. Davis” choose to dial up the looney and have our leading lady travel Europe. While the first two episodes of the show showed promise, the next couple look a bit too corny in comparison. We learned in the first two episodes that Simone is a nun because she chose to marry Jesus, who now goes by the name Jay and has a falafel restaurant. She is opposed to the new AI algorithm that has taken over the world and grants them wings in order to fulfill “Her” quest. She has eradicated wars and famines, and the world is peaceful (supposedly). Wiley, on the other hand, Simone’s childhood friend and presumed ex-lover, is on a mission of his own that we aren’t quite clear about. Let’s find out if he works for Mrs. Davis or if he was just trying to get Simone on...

9-1-1 Season 6 Episode 10 leaves on the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers, as Buck finds himself in danger and the 118 rushes to save him. It's a gripping ending for a beautiful episode of the Fox hit series.
Coming off such an emotional ride, we got to break it all down with Executive Producer Kristen Reidel, who took us through the hour and previewed what's the come for the remainder of this season. Dig in and enjoy this fantastic chat!
We just spoke back in November, and you were telling me that the first episode was going to go off on a cliffhanger, and I had no idea what to expect, and it does go off on a pretty huge cliffhanger.
Yeah, I think it's probably one of the biggest we've ever done, aside from Tsunami.
The whole scene, I think my heart was in my throat. Can...

The 19-year-old American grandmaster at the heart of the cheating scandal that has rocked the chess world has filed a 100 million lawsuit against his main accuser and others who he claims have ruined his career.
Hans Niemann — who allegedly cheated in over 100 online chess matches in addition to his matchup against World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen — has sued Carlsen, Chess.com (the website that twice has temporarily banned Niemann for cheating) and grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura for defamation, citing “the devastating damage” they “inflicted upon his reputation and life.”

Denis Villeneuve is a director with an ambitious vision, as seen in projects such as "Arrival" and "Blade Runner 2049." Creating films as massive as those requires incredible attention to detail, as well as a strong production team. Luckily, Villeneuve has both. "Arrival" earned a slew of award nominations, and the Roger Deakins' cinematography in "Blade Runner 2049" won Deakins the Academy Award the following year. "Sicario" is another film with great attention to detail on both a storytelling and technical level, receiving three Academy Award nominations for cinematography, original score, and sound editing.
Sound editing in a film is a technical aspect that can sometimes be overlooked when watching a movie, so no one would blame you if you didn't notice the more minute details in the film. One such aspect that may have gone unnoticed is the screaming sounds in a scene in "Sicario." The sound effect is...
