Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorsese threatened to buy a gun when in a rage at a film studio, according to a new docuseries about his life. After suggested edits to his 1976 movie Taxi Driver, which starred Robert De Niro, he flew into such a fury that he began threatening to take the law into his own hands.“Marty was very upset,” says Steven Spielberg. “We get a call at the office: ‘Steve, Steve, it’s Marty. Can you come over to the house? They want me to cut all the blood spurting, they want me to cut the guy who loses…

Ever since the Edo period, Japanese summertime has been associated with the arrival of supernatural forces – a season defined by malevolent spirits. As the country’s temperatures soar, it’s believed that the barriers separating the world of the living and the dead begin to wane, allowing once contained ghosts to slither into our realm.It’s under this sweaty backdrop that I find myself wandering Silent Hill f’s fog-laden Japan. Set in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka during the 1960s, players are put into the dust-coated shoes of a misunderstood…

A new cinematic adventure fantasy revolving around the iconic female warrior character doesn’t have much to live up to, considering that the 1985 version starring Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t exactly beloved even among genre fans. Which makes it all the more disappointing that MJ Bassett’s version turns out to be so lackluster, especially considering that its star, Matilda Lutz, proved so impressive in 2017’s equally physically demanding and skin-baring Revenge (directed by future Oscar nominee Coralie Fargeat). Hampered by the sort of low-budget production values that make it seem more suited for cable television, Red Sonja is receiving…
