This 'Bingebuster' Website Recreates a Virtual Blockbuster to Peruse

Time to step into the past! 📼 Venture back into the ol' Blockbuster video store and choose your movie to watch tonight. A brand new website called "Bingebuster" has launched as a fun virtual experience. Instead of just recreating the Blockbuster video experience digitally, they went a step further and actually made this a functional experience. The website syncs with various streaming services (Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV, Tubi, ITVX) to display actual movies that are available to watch directly on the online shelves as if you were browsing & choosing there. I remember doing this! The whole point is to recreate that nostalgic, lost-in-time experience of driving down to the nearest Blockbuster (or Hollywood Video or a local rental shop) Friday night and browsing the shelves and deciding then what to watch that night. This might really help with the streaming choice overload that so many people feel. It's organized just like Blockbuster - by genre along with new releases. You can even re-sort and filter as well. This is also made by the same guys who created the virtual Criterion Closet collection website called The Closet (check it out too). More below. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for 30th Anniversary of Eddie Murphy's 'Nutty Professor'

"Someone better call exorcist!" Remember this one? Universal Pictures has unveiled a brand new re-release trailer for the comedy The Nutty Professor celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. Nutty Professor was director Tom Shadyac's second big hit after making Ace Ventura in 1994, this time a romantic comedy about a big guy who invents a skinny serum that changes his life. A remake of the 1963 movie of the same name, The Nutty Professor from 1996 stars Eddie Murphy in 7 different main roles in it – including as Sherman Klump and his skinny altar ego Buddy Love and most of the Klump family. The cast also includes Jada Pinkett Smith, James Coburn, Dave Chappelle, Larry Miller, John Ales, and Jamal Mixon. Grossly overweight yet good-hearted professor Sherman Klump takes a special chemical that turns him into the slim but obnoxious Buddy Love. It's showtime, everybody! Celebrate its 30th anniversary when the film returns to theaters this September. Way back in 1996, this was a huge box office hit - earning $128 million on its opening run that summer. Does it hold up all these years later? Well, go back to theaters and find out. // Continue Reading ›

Javier Bardem & Victoria Luengo in Spanish Film 'The Beloved' Trailer

"It's a story about betrayal, a story about abandonment." Madman Films has unveiled a new official trailer for the film titled The Beloved, originally known as El ser querido in Spanish, which initially premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival a few months ago. A new film by acclaimed director Rodrigo Sorogoyen (Stockholm, May God Save Us, The Candidate, Mother, The Beasts). Described as this year's Sentimental Value because the premise is quite similar - it's about an iconic filmmaker father trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter, who is also an actress. However, this film spends more time on set (in the Canary Islands) where he's shooting a new film which is thematically similar to the fractured relationship he has with her. Javier Bardem stars as Esteban Martínez, a famous filmmaker working on a new film. Victoria Luengo co-stars as his daughter Emilia, an unsuccessful actress. They reunite on a film shoot, confronting their strained relationship and many unresolved past issues that neither wants to address directly. This new trailer features many quotes from Cannes reviews along with a more melancholic & sad tone to capture the heartbreak between these two despite their attempt to come together and figure it all out. View more below. // Continue Reading ›
