It was decently received by critics, with audiences going crazy for it, leading it to finish as the fourth highest-grossing film of the year.

The legacy of Kevin Costner cannot be refuted, despite his insistence on staying on the margins of celebrity worship and fame. The actorʼs familiarity with the world of Westerns and his obsession with it runs in his veins. And given his early rise to the higher rungs of Hollywood, Costner had earned his right to ask for roles that allowed him to explore the genre he loved more than the ones that were assigned to him by studio executives.
Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 [Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures]The latter years of his career have demonstrated a lower percentage of Costner in films but Taylor Sheridan made sure to resurrect him from the dirges of the ʼ80s and ʼ90s. Sheridanʼs Yellowstone universe rectified that which had been lost by reinstating Kevin Costner to the frontlines of television. Now, the fans reflect on a time that cast him into one...

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending, of “Abigail,” currently playing in theaters.
The vampire thriller “Abigail” originated as a modern-day update of the classic horror film “Dracula’s Daughter.” But by the time the filmmaking trio Radio Silence — producer Chad Villella and directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett — began production on “Abigail” in Ireland in the spring of 2023, the movie had virtually no connection to the 1936 Universal picture.
“Dracula’s Daughter” follows the grown Countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden) as she tries — and fails — to rid herself of her vampirism following Dracula’s death. In “Abigail,” by sharp contrast, the titular vampire is a girl, kidnapped by a team of mercenaries — led by the hot-headed Frank (Dan Stevens) and self-possessed Joey (Melissa Barrera) — under the false impression that she’s the helpless daughter of a tycoon who will pay their ransom to get her back. Eventually, Abigail...

Bill Morrison makes movies out of fragments of other movies, giving new life to ghostly scraps of an earlier time. Whereas most film conservationists aspire to restoring lost and degraded films to their original glory, Morrison sees beauty in the decay — the underlying premise of his mesmerizing avant-garde super-cut “Decasia,” released in 2002, and a key attraction of his latest collage feature, “The Village Detective: A Song Cycle,” which spends long minutes projecting what remains of four reels of celluloid recovered from the Atlantic by an Icelandic fishing trawler.
A decade after “Decasia,” Morrison reached even wider recognition with “Dawson City: Frozen Time,” wherein a stockpile of century-old 35mm prints unearthed in northern Canada — an end-of-the-line Klondike gold rush outpost that had become a de-facto graveyard for traveling films — served as the raw material for a rumination on a lost era, both the fortune-seekers who sought the frontier and the remarkable...

In just a handful of seasons, “Rick and Morty” has gone from a relatively modest riff on interdimensional travel to a cultural force big enough to sustain an entire warehouse worth of merch possibilities. So far, these episodes have found its two central characters unleashing destruction on a galactic scale and — in their best-case scenarios — just barely managing to get things close to normal again. Along the way, they’ve managed to rope the rest of their immediate family into the ever-escalating mayhem.
The mythology of this Adult Swim mainstay gets deeper by the chapter, not just with the unlikely grandfather/grandson team, but the flurry of details that whoosh by as they meet new characters of various sizes, species, and forms of matter. So, with a dense back catalogue to sift through, one big question remains: Where’s the best place to start?
