Watch: Netflix’s Restoring the Historic Egyptian Theatre Promo Video

Netflix has revealed a new featurette to celebrate the grand re-opening of the famous Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles (right in downtown Hollywood - here on Google Maps). In addition to the Paris Theater in NYC, this is now the second theater that Netflix owns. The Egyptian Theatre is an iconic, historic movie palace that first opened in 1922 and has hosted many big premieres over the decades. From 1998 to 2020, it was owned & run by American Cinematheque. Netflix will now manage programming Monday through Thursday and the American Cinematheque will run it from Friday through Sunday. They're kicking things off with a series of classic screenings (full list here), as well as announcing that Zack Snyder's upcoming sci-fi movie Rebel Moon will be screening in 70mm in select cinemas around the world - including at the Egyptian this December. Ever since our first days, FirstShowing has been a purveyor of the theatrical experience. I've seen some iconic movies at the Egyptian, including Lawrence of Arabia (which they're re-showing this fall) and it is indeed a spectacular ...

Full Trailer for ‘The Artful Dodger’ Oliver Twist Series from Australia

"This isn't London, Jack. There's nowhere to hide..." Hulu has revealed the official trailer for The Artful Dodger, a spin on Charles Dickens' classic story Oliver Twist. Set in 1850s Australia the series follows adult double life of Charles Dickens' famous prince of thieves Dodger, now a surgeon, but who can't shake his predilection for crime. Dodger's past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, who wants to lure him back into a world of crime. And an even greater threat — to Dodger's heart — is Lady Belle Fox (as played by Maia Mitchell), the Governor's daughter, who is determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon. The series stars talented young actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jack Dawkins, with David Thewlis (looking grimy), Damon Herriman, Tim Minchin, Miranda Tapsell, Luke Carroll, Kim Gyngell, Vivienne Awosoga, and Nicholas Burton. It looks quite fun, a pick-pocket series about thieves getting back together, while trying to say out of trouble in old school Australia. Seems like easy-to-watch Hulu fun. Here's the main official trailer for Hulu's series The Artful Dodger, direct ...

Ex-Pink Floyd member David Gilmour blasted Waters as …

The waning moments of “Avengers: Endgame” featured a girl-power nod so cringe-worthy even woke web sites cried foul. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been downhill ever since. The saga no longer crushes the box office competition like it did during the Iron Man/Thor/Captain America heyday. Now, movies like “Black Widow,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and …
