Better Food, Bigger Seats and 3 Other Ways Small Movie Theater Chains Can Survive
53 minutes ago
How does a regional theater chain stay competitive when ultra-high definition 4K TVs keep getting bigger – and cheaper – and streaming services continue to pop up and give viewers a cornucopia of options? By thinking outside the (popcorn) box. Last month, John Caparella took over as CEO of Louisiana-based Southern Theatres from founder (and still chairman) George Solomon.

‘The Zookeeper’s Wife’ Review: Jessica Chastain Saves Polish Jews But Can’t Rescue the Movie
2 hours ago
Some tales are remarkable yet true, while others are meaningful yet dull. In “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” a regrettable sense of the latter overtakes the former in telling of the Żabińskis, real-life married Polish animal caretakers who saved hundreds of Jews during their country’s Nazi occupation. “Whale Rider” director Niki Caro’s studiously rendered period epic puts a thickly accented Jessica Chastain front and center as Antonina Żabińska, since Diane Ackerman’s nonfiction book culled its history (and title) from access to Antonina’s diaries. But as refreshing as it is to see a woman in an Oskar Schindler-type »

Anne Frank Center Blasts Tim Allen for ‘Deeply Offensive’ Nazi Germany Comment: ‘Have You Lost Your Mind?’
2 hours ago
The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect demanded an apology from actor Tim Allen after he compared life for Hollywood conservatives to living in “’30s Germany.” That era, of course, was when Adolf Hilter rose to power and the Nazis began their campaign of mass extermination of Jews and many others they deemed undesirable. The Anne Frank Center called Allen’s comparison “deeply offensive” and said it “trivializes the horrors imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany.” The “Last Man Standing actor said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Friday: “You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You’ll get beat up if. »

‘Iron Fist': These Season 1 Characters Will Probably Be Bad Guys in Season 2 and Beyond
3 hours ago
(Note: This post contains spoilers for “Iron Fist” Season 1.) The trouble with being a superhero like Danny Rand (Finn Jones) in Netflix’s new adaptation of Marvel’s “Iron Fist” is that your friends tend to turn into supervillains. At least a few of the characters we see in Season 1 of “Iron Fist” won’t always be Danny’s friends, and a few even change sides before the end of the first 13 episodes. When it comes to villains, allegiances can often change based on the situation, but the first season gives some sense of who might wind up being evil and who’s still. »

WWE’s Chris Jericho Tells Us Where He Keeps ‘The List’ and What He Was Actually Writing on It
3 hours ago
This afternoon, I took up almost 20 minutes of Chris Jericho’s super-busy Monday, asked him a few borderline-asinine questions, and didn’t even make “The List.” To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. After all, there is arguably no better WWE accessory this winter than Y2J’s “The List of Jericho,” generally reserved for those the pro wrestling icon labels a “stupid idiot.” Of course, like so many things meant to be insulting to the “Monday Night Raw” crowd, the fans eat it up — and replicas of the prop now sells as official WWE merchandise. Naturally, we had to ask the. »

Mark Hamill Shares Never-Before-Seen ‘Nipple Protector’ Pic From ‘Star Wars: A New Hope’

It’s the photo that the honchos at Lucasfilm never wanted fans to see. A few days after Mark Hamill released what is believed to be the first production photo ever taken of him as Luke Skywalker, he shared another never-before-seen vintage pic of him in costume. And this one was more revealing. A European fan page on Twitter uncovered a production photo of Luke that featured something of a ’70s-era wardrobe malfunction. In the photo, Luke’s robe was left slightly agape, allowing fans to see an undershirt that was not Tatooine attire. One was wondering what was that »
