‘Doctor Who’s’ Alex Kingston Calls Cancel Culture ‘Fascistic’

Alex Kingston could be “cancelled” tomorrow but she might not realize it immediately. You won’t find the veteran actress on X, the outlet formerly known as Twitter, or other popular platforms. And she likes it that way. She likes the thinking behind Cancel Culture far less. She broached the subject during her press tour for …

Watch: Too Many Clones in Clever Sci-Fi Short ‘Variations on a Theme’

"How do we contain this?" What do you do when more & more clones don't stop replicating? Here's a clever sci-fi short film to enjoy that's now online to watch.

New Trailer for Dark Comedy Film ‘The Prank’ Featuring Rita Moreno

"I lit the fuse, and now we watch Wheeler burn..." Uh oh! This sounds dangerous. Signature Ent. in the UK has revealed an official trailer for an indie dark comedy called The Prank, the second feature film directed by Maureen Bharoocha. This originally premiered back in 2022 at the SXSW Film Festival that year, and it also showed at the 2023 Santa Barbara Film Festival, but has never been released in the US. A bit strange. Ben and his slacker friend Tanner decide to play a prank on their high school physics teacher Mrs. Wheeler. When she fails the entire class after someone cheats on a test, they teach the demanding instructor a lesson by falsely accusing her of murder on social media. Of course, it ends up spinning wildly out of control. What will happen next? The film stars EGOT winner Rita Moreno, with Connor Kalopsis, Ramona Young, Keith David, Kate Flannery, Meredith Salenger, Jonathan Kimmel, & Nathan Janak. This looks rather chaotic and crazy. Not sure it'll find the right balance between the dark setup and high school ...
