There’s a rule when it comes to sequels, remakes and reboots. Bring the original players back by any means necessary. For “Top Gun: Maverick,” that meant creating a part for Val Kilmer’s “Iceman” that worked around his vocal limitations. Another example? Last year’s “The Fall Guy” film squeezed the original TV actors Lee Majors and …

Bill Maher is nothing if not consistent. He’s no fan of religion, witness his 2008 documentary “Religulous.” He votes Democrat, always. And he hasn’t budged on his free speech bona fides. His party has, but not Maher. So when the “Club Random” host invited Canadian comic Tom Green on his show the two clashed over …

Brady Corbet didn’t get rich making “The Brutalist.” The Oscar-nominated film has earned just $31 million globally, and the writer/director claims he didn’t receive a penny for creating the drama. Let’s put that Hollywood accounting aside. Corbet made “The Brutalist” for roughly $10 million. That’s not necessarily impressive unless you’ve seen the film. It’s gorgeous, …

Zachary Levi hasn’t been canceled by Hollywood for supporting President Donald Trump. Not yet, at least. The star keeps saying he has new projects that should keep him busy. He’s one of the lucky ones. Conservative actors are routinely punished for their beliefs. The New Blacklist is alive and well. That doesn’t mean the “Shazam!” …

Green Day famously attacked President George W. Bush with its 2004 album “American Idiot.” Now, the aging rockers are sidling up to the Palestinian cause, and their timing couldn’t be worse. The trio made hay during the 2000s by attacking President Bush’s Iraq War efforts. The band expanded its scope in the following years, aligning …

Parenthood isn’t for the faint of heart. Sleepless nights. Sudden illnesses. Bills atop bills. The Terrible Twos (and threes). The parents at the heart of “The Unbreakable Boy” face two additional layers to family life. Their adorable son is autistic and suffers from “brittle bone” disease. Their fact-based journey fuels a sobering look at parenthood. …

The backlash against Tom Hanks’ “Saturday Night Live” Black Jeopardy sketch hit social media in a hurray. The backlash to the backlash was just as swift. Hanks brought back his Trump voter character during “SNL50: The Anniversary Special.” The Oscar winner originally played the fictional Doug in a 2016 “Black Jeopardy” sketch. At the time, …

Some conservatives cheered when Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” opened weakly late last year. The online Right unofficially declared war on Disney following the company’s woke makeover and attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. That $35 million haul suggested the Mouse House’s latest “live-action” adaptation would be a bust. The film had legs, though, muscling …

“Millers in Marriage” may be set in modern times, but the ‘90s are never far from the screen. Writer/director Edward Burns dissects the travails of 50-somethings in mid-life crises. They pine for their younger days, when “Seinfeld” ruled and AOL flooded the zone with Internet CD-ROMs. So does the film, a throwback to storytellers who …
