This article contains full spoilers for Atlas.
After surviving an attack orchestrated by the rogue synthetic Harlan (Simu Liu), cyber analyst Atlas (Jennifer Lopez) lands in her mech-suit on a mysterious new planet. And it is there that she notices a strange flower, which the artificial intelligence Smith (voiced by Gregory James Cohan) informs her has never been seen before. When Smith asks what she wants to call the flower, Atlas responds with an uncreative name: “Planty.”
Although Atlas insists that she’s making a joke, Smith accepts the name, and Planty returns at the end of the film as a symbol of the bond formed between human and robot. At the same time, this dull bit of nomenclature illustrates the way AI destroys creativity. Which seems an apt metaphor for the movie it’s in. Because as directed by Brad Peyton and written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite,...

Arriving on the heels of “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” — a true milestone of superstar transparency where Jennifer Lopez expressed a clear-eyed view of her current career status — “Atlas” feels like an underwhelming return to the kind of projects that have maintained Lopez’ place in the Hollywood firmament, but not the ones that catapulted her there in the first place.
One of her few science fiction-themed films, its novelty alone should make it stand out, especially with Brad Peyton, a reliable purveyor of large-scale spectacle in the director’s chair. But a dearth of original ideas undercuts the appeal of “Atlas,” leaving Lopez to fend for herself in much the same way her character is forced to in the film’s formulaic story.
Lopez plays the title character, a coffee-addicted, “rigid and hostile” data analyst whose mother Val (Lana Parilla) developed the first artificial-intelligence being, Harlan (Simu Liu), when Atlas was just a child.

Brad Peyton had his work cut out for him on the set of his new sci-fi action film, Atlas. The Canadian director’s new 2071-set film centers on Jennifer Lopez’s Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst whose deep mistrust of AI is tested to the extreme when she must rely on an AI-driven mech suit to survive after the latest attack by an AI terrorist (Simu Liu’s Harlan).
Having fled Earth nearly three decades earlier, Atlas is finally able to track down Harlan’s distant whereabouts on an alien planet. But just before a team of mech rangers can deploy on a mission to capture the villainous humanoid, Harlan attacks their ship in outer space, forcing Atlas to take refuge inside a mech suit that can land her on Harlan’s home planet. With Lopez’s character now inside a pilotable machine that traverses the surface of an inhospitable planet,...

On the movie screen, Jennifer Lopez is known for being a romantic comedy queen in films like "Maid in Manhattan," "Monster-in-Law," and "Marry Me." However, on Netflix, she appears to be pursuing a wholly different crown and going after action movie and genre glory. Sure, Lopez has made her share of genre thrillers, especially early in her career: "Money Train," "Anaconda," "U Turn," and "Out of Sight," most notably. Yet it's her turn in 2023's "The Mother" that marked her debut as a fully-fledged action star and now she's following that up with a lead performance in a big-budget sci-fi shoot 'em up, if the new trailer for Netflix's "Atlas" is any indication.
As a co-producer as well as star of "Atlas," Lopez has put together a pretty promising team to bring her next Netflix-distributed action venture to life. Alongside co-stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong, the...

The classic Kaiju movie formula may have been invented in America with flicks like King Kong and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, but at this point everyone’s aware that Japan is the one that perfected the genre. From Godzilla to Gamera, Japanese filmmakers have made these giant creature features part of their national identity, so it stands to reason that the west can’t quite keep up when it comes to traditional Kaiju movies.
Sure, we’re lucky enough to be living through a Kaiju renaissance with Legendary’s Monsterverse and the occasional dark horse like Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim, but it’s really difficult for western cinema to capture the cheesy chaos of giant monsters wreaking havoc in densely populated urban environments. Thankfully, there are exceptions to this rule, and I’d argue that there’s one recent blockbuster that actually managed to reach the heights of...

The Super Bowl has long been known as the Big Game, but some people out there are treating it like a smaller one.
Advertisers typically plunk down millions of dollars for a 30- or 60-second ad in the Super Bowl telecast on the broadcast network showing the annual NFL extravaganza. This year, for the first time, they have some intriguing alternatives. Some have chosen to run commercials only on Univision, which has the rights to air the game in Spanish. Others are relying on ads that will appear only on kids-cable favorite Nickelodeon, which is running a telecast aimed at families. At least one advertiser, Ally Financial, has placed an ad only in the Paramount+ stream of the Super Bowl, rather than on CBS.

Bud Light is ready for a brand reboot, and it is betting on the Super Bowl to help deliver it.
2023 was a tough year for the brand, which saw its sales decline double digits following an influencer-marketing campaign that included transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney.
It was also a year in which the Ab Inbev brand used the big game to take a more sophisticated approach to marketing in a campaign starring Miles and Keleigh Teller.
Now, the beer brand is reversing course and leaning in to some of the traits that made its previous Super Bowl ads classics of the genre: Humor, wacky characters, and some big sports and music stars.

Burton reposted an X post that put both moments side-by-side with the actress adding, “Yes, yes, yes.”
In contrast to Kelce and Swift celebrating a football win, Lucas and Peyton were celebrating a basketball championship in the drama series.

From games being strewn across an ever-increasing number of networks and streamers, it is getting extremely difficult for football fans to watch all of the games.
The NFL’s Super Wild Card Weekend and Divisional rounds are over, and as usual, the first two rounds of the league’s postseason had some thrillers, along with some clunkers. One of the biggest talking points following the games so far has been the debate over the wisdom of placing an NFL playoff game — one of the ratings prizes of the entire television year — exclusively on a streaming service for a national audience. Peacock’s first-ever streaming-exclusive playoff game drew good ratings for the Wild Card matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, so when coupled with the fact that “Thursday Night Football” games air on Prime Video and most “Monday Night Football” contests also stream on ESPN+, the NFL has...

Something to Stream Every Day This Week; 'Mnf' Week 1, 'Foundation' and 'Winning Time' Finales, More
What a difference a week makes! In many parts of the United States, summer weather has already given way to fall with plunging temperatures, changing leaves and the proliferation of pumpkin spice-flavored offerings on grocery store shelves from coast to coast.
The carriage dispute that caused Disney-owned cable channels to go dark for nearly 15 million Spectrum cable customers is now resolved as well, though admittedly that took a little longer than a week to sort through. That means Spectrum customers have their service back in time to watch the first “Monday Night Football” game of the season , but what other titles are coming to streaming this week to help viewers bid summer farewell?

Sports Illustrated Studios & 101 Studios has partnered with future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry and his Unanimous Media to produce a narrative film and a documentary about the All Star Café. The projects will be based on Jon Wertheim’s 2020 Sports Illustrated article.
The All Star Café opened in New York City on December 18, 1995, with much fanfare as the themed eatery set up to be for sports what the Hard Rock Cafe is for music. It opened with a flurry of paparazzi, red carpet and a slew of A-list celebrities and athletes, but the final buzzer sounded on September 23, 2007, when it shuttered under the cloud of bankruptcy. That final chapter included the largest sports memorabilia heist in history cooked up by a group of knuckleheaded kitchen staffers, in what has been hailed as a Coen Brothers Fargo-esque criminal event.
The projects come under the 101 Sports Division partnership with Si Studios...

The poster selection this month is a bit uninspiring, but I guess that comes with the territory of awards season—name recognition is at an all-time high. When everyone is talking about The Fabelmans and Glass Onion, they don’t need to wow us with exciting visuals. That’s not to say it wouldn’t be nice if they tried.
Thankfully, a few titles do stand out. Maybe they don’t all possess a strikingly original composition, but a little artistry goes a long way. Don’t blame the designers, though: they’re creating hundreds of comps and spending countless hours on each campaign only to sometimes have the studio pick the safest most boring sketch of the bunch. You do your best with what you’re given.

Case in point: Eo. They could have used a still from the film and went glossy donkey. They could have done something artsy,...

What’s the rush? The Voice on Monday ushered in its first-ever three-way Knockouts, in which a trio of acts went head to head (to head) in hopes of advancing to the Live Playoffs. What that means is that in a single night, we blew through a dozen performances as we sped toward the final Knockouts only a week later. Dunno about you, but I’d prefer fewer Blind Auditions, smaller teams and more Knockouts (although the Battles tend to be my favorite round). Drop your thoughts in the comments below, but first, let’s review which acts were Ok...
