The introspective movie centers on four classmates setting out to find the body of a boy who went missing in the woods. In addition to taking a more nostalgic tone than the darker source material,…

Between King Kong and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms there was Mighty Joe Young. The 1949 creature feature perfected many of the techniques pioneering stop-motion animator Willis O’Brien had deployed to spellbinding effect in 1933’s Kong and was the proving ground for a young up-and-comer named Ray Harryhausen, who would take the art form to new heights in the 1950s and ’60s. The story of a young woman and her simian companion who decamp from Africa to Hollywood, Mighty Joe Young was light on plot and heavy on effects, ultimately winning the Oscar for its groundbreaking gorilla. A 1998 remake…

ABC Nathan Fillion has played a number of memorable characters on television, but they didn’t always come easily. In fact, he lost out on a major role in a Chuck Lorre sitcom early in his career. Fillion started out as the love interest for the titular “girl” on ABC’s “Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place.” Then, as Captain Malcolm Reynolds on “Firefly,” he and the ragtag crew of the spaceship Serenity flew across the universe and into the hearts of Browncoats around the world. And thanks to “Castle”…
