America Ferrera is reflecting on the success of Barbie — and why she thinks the race of her character in the film helped her land the part. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Friday, the actress opened up about the fact that she hadn’t always been considered for non-Latina roles until recently in her career.
“To be frank: For the majority of my career, I have not been considered for roles that weren’t written specifically Latina,” Ferrera said. “And so that, in and of itself, limits what people...

After a genre-defining golden age from 1978 to 1984, slashers continued to proliferate cinemas throughout the rest of the ’80s. By the time the ’90s rolled around, however, diminishing returns for franchises and newcomers alike made it seem as though the slasher well had run dry. But, like its bottomless repository of knife-wielding villains, the genre has proven that it can never be stopped. During the dry period before Scream revitalized slashers in 1996, savvy filmmakers began leaning into the campy elements as a response to dwindling audiences rooting for the villains rather than fearing them. Dr. Giggles was just what the doctor ordered.
The 1992 film was a collaboration between Largo Entertainment, who produced the film, and Dark Horse Comics, who developed a short-lived comic book series based on the character. It may not have had the draw of Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, or Freddy Krueger, but its comedic approach to the subgenre...

Drive-ins are coming to Hollywood.
Post 43, the historic American Legion memorial clubhouse on Highland Avenue, is launching a drive-in screening series starting on Oct. 3. “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” will kick things off, followed by “The Muppet Movie,” “Jaws,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Jurassic Park,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Chinatown.”
The drive-in comes on the heels of several premieres being held last year in Post 43’s newly remodeled indoor Legion Theater. Since the theater had to close its door due to the pandemic, plans are being made to add 35mm projection to the drive-in, which currently includes 4K digital projection on a 38-foot custom-built screen. The location can accommodate up to 30 cars.
“We feel it is our responsibility as keepers of that flame to preserve film exhibition for the public,” theater director Bill Steele said in a statement. “The studios have been very supportive of this effort as well.
