Prime Video’s new crime comedy Brothers (2024) offers a wild and outrageous ride, featuring a star-studded cast headlined by Peter Dinklage, Josh Brolin, and Glenn Close. Directed by Max Barbakow, Brothers is a chaotic heist film inspired by the classic 1988 comedy Twins, but with its own unique criminal twist. The film follows Jady Munger as he strikes a deal to recover stolen emeralds in exchange for his freedom. Teaming up with his reluctant brother Moke and their criminal mother Cath, the trio embarks on a chaotic and comedic adventure filled with heists, family drama, and wild twists.

It seemed like the perfect premise for comedy—twin brothers Jady and Moke Munger reconnecting for one last criminal scheme, this time to track down the emeralds their mother stole decades ago. Directed by Max Barbakow, who scored big with the time-bending Palm Springs, and starring talented pros like Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin in the leading roles, everything pointed to Brothers delivering the laughs. But as any movie lover knows, promising ingredients don’t always bake into a tasty cake.
Jady’s the thrill-seeking man just out of prison, while Moke has gone straight with a job, wife, and baby on the way. But Jady’s reluctant to leave crime behind and drags his reluctant brother back into the life when he shows up with a plan. They trace their criminal inclinations to their mother Cath, who split when they were young. Now the boys will cross paths with...

In director and writer Marco Calvani’s “High Tide,” well-known Brazilian actor Marco Pigossi stars as Lourenco, an immigrant living in Provincetown, the iconic gay getaway in Massachusetts. Suddenly single with his visa about to expire, he meets and falls for Maurice (James Bland), a Black doctor from New York City who is on vacation before heading to Angola for a residency.
Turns out there was as much romance going on off-screen as there was on. Calvani and Pigossi fell in love after initially meeting to talk about possibly working together one day.
“I tell everyone there’s a love story behind the love story.” Pigossi tells me. “We were falling in love as he was finishing the script. He was always asking me things like, ‘What’s your favorite poem in Brazil? What would be like a very conservative city in the countryside?’ I didn’t know what he was writing.

Plot: Brothers tells the story of a reformed criminal whose attempt at going straight is derailed when he reunites with his sanity-testing twin brother on a cross-country road trip for the score of a lifetime. Dodging bullets, the law, and an overbearing mother along the way, they must heal their severed family bond before they end up killing each other.

It seems impossible to imagine anyone but Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, and Kaley Cuoco on "The Big Bang Theory," but the truth is that other actors were considered before showrunner Chuck Lorre and his team found the perfect people for the lead roles. Marisa Tomei read for Cuoco's character Penny — who was also played by a different actress in the show's original, unaired pilot — and Kevin Sussman originally auditioned for the lead role of Howard Wolowitz (which went to Helberg in the end) before getting his own supporting character. Apparently, "Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin was also approached for a role ... but he definitively said no.
During a 2018 interview with Joe Rogan, Culkin said that he hasn't really considered any major sitcom roles throughout his career, though it depends on the overall quality. "I couldn't see myself doing a sitcom or a television show kind of thing.

Peter Dinklage is a veteran actor who's appeared in numerous television shows and movies, but around these parts we'll always know him best as Tyrion Lannister, the sarcastic youngest son of Tywin Lannister on Game of Thrones. Dinklage's career has remained in a constant boom since Thrones; the guy's always got something new coming out, which is great for fans who loved him as Tyrion and want to see him in more projects.
For example, just this week the YouTube interview channel First We Feast released an interview with Dinklage on their show Hot Ones, where celebrities eat very spicy wings and try not to have meltdowns as they answer questions. When I saw Dinklage was on Hot Ones, I assumed he was out promoting his Western movie The Thicket, which came out in early September. But no! Dinklage already has another movie out, Brothers, which just hit Prime Video...

Amazon Prime has lately shown a penchant for the kind of wacky action comedies studios aren’t flooding theatres with like they used to do. With films by Peter Farrelly, Paul Feig and others, the genre is alive and well in Culver City, and its acquisition of Palm Springs director Max Barbakow’s sophomore feature Brothers not only fits right into the mold but also manages to be a wildly entertaining example of how to do it.
What also makes this all work as well as it does is an exceptionally well-chosen cast of A-list actors working against type. What more do I have to say except that Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage are playing fraternal twins and Glenn Close is their conniving grifter mother! Throw in a X-rated love scene with a CGI orangutan and you have the recipe for madness, which Brothers delivers in the best slapstick style.

With “Palm Springs,” first-time director Max Barbakow achieved the kind of whirlwind debut most filmmakers only dream of.
The time-loop rom-com, which starred Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as wedding guests forced to relive the same day over and over again, was the hit of the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. Neon and Hulu acquired it in a record-breaking sale. The looming pandemic was serendipitous timing for a streaming debut, and “Palm Springs” ended up setting Hulu records when it came out that summer. Barbakow had a bona fide cultural phenomenon on his hands and seemingly became an established Hollywood director overnight.
How do you follow a once-in-a-decade success like “Palm Springs”? Barbakow decided to pivot to a good old-fashioned American heist comedy.

“Brothers” is a comedy movie starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage. With Brendan Fraser and Glenn Close. It is directed by Max Barbakow.
“Brothers” is reminiscent of classic comedies from yesteryears, centering on a family of thieves reuniting after many years. The film is filled with amusing escapades and humorous situations, much like the type of comedy one would have rented from a video store without expecting to remember much about it later.
The movie boasts a strong ensemble cast who, by all appearances, enjoyed their time during filming. The actors seem quite at ease in their comedic roles, contributing to the film’s light-hearted nature, even if the jokes are somewhat simplistic.
The plot follows two brothers who were raised with little discipline after their mother left them in the care of their grandmother following a heist that forced her to flee. Years later, the family reunites to retrieve...

The increasing predominance of streaming content over theatrical releasing continues apace with Brothers, a Legendary Entertainment production that distributor Amazon MGM Studios dropped into a handful of theaters for a week without critics’ screenings, ahead of its Oct. 17 debut on Prime. That strategy will likely turn out to be fortuitous for a mildly amusing feature that lacks the heft to compete at the early awards-season box office, leaving the film to find a less-committed audience in the streaming-verse.
Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage play mismatched siblings with heavy jaws (enhanced in Dinklage’s case by a handlebar mustache) in Max Barbakow’s second feature, which finds him trading the subtler comic shadings of Palm Springs for ham-fisted humor, to disappointingly diminishing effect.

In “Brothers,” Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage play adult twins who’ve been criminal accomplices ever since their jewelry-heisting mom abandoned them as kids.
You hear the pitch for director Max Barbakow’s follow-up to his 2020 Sundance phenom “Palm Springs” and brace yourself for the possibility that the two actors’ mismatched appearances will be the source of the laughs. Screenwriters Macon Blair (“The Toxic Avenger”) and Etan Cohen ( “Tropic Thunder”) have credits that suggest as much, while Hollywood has a history of turning out “high-concept” comedies like “Stuck on You” and “Twins,” for those old enough to remember the ’80s flick in which Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito played long-separated (and far-from-identical) siblings.
It comes as a relief to find that the gap in stature between Moke (Brolin) and Jady (Dinklage) is not at all the difference that “Brothers” intends to focus on. Rather, it’s their mild-versus-wild personalities and...

Andrew Garfield first played Peter Parker in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. Two years later, the actor reprised the role for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, only for Sony Pictures to pull the rug out from under him by scrapping two sequels and a Sinister Six spin-off.
Even when the movies themselves let him down, it was clear Garfield loved Spider-Man but the odds of him ever returning to the role seemed slim. Then, Spider-Man: No Way Home changed everything.
In the Marvel Studios blockbuster, Garfield shared the screen with the McU's Spider-Man, Tom Holland, and their predecessor, Tobey Maguire.
Talking to Vanity Fair as part of the site's latest "Test How Well You Know Each Other" video, Garfield - who was being quizzed alongside his We Live in Time co-star Florence Pugh - was asked to name his favourite big screen Spidey.

It's bizarre to even consider, but at one point, Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei auditioned to play Penny on "The Big Bang Theory" — and while it's hard to imagine her in Kaley Cuoco's role, it's also funny to imagine an alternate universe with Tomei as the show's bubbly female lead.
Fans of "The Big Bang Theory" know there was a decent amount of strife over who would play Penny — one actress, Katie Walsh, was replaced after a badly-shot pilot didn't impress CBS — but it's definitely shocking to hear that Tomei was in the mix. In 2022, Tomei opened up about "The Big Bang Theory" and said that she did like the project, and obviously had no idea that it would be such a huge pop culture phenomenon.

Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage playing criminal twins in an action comedy from the director of Palm Springs, one of the funniest films of the decade, is a hell of an elevator pitch. And it's exactly what we're going to be getting with Max Barbakow's Amazon MGM Studios joint Brothers, a wackadoodle crime caper poured from The Toxic Avenger writer Macon Blair's pen and dreamt up by The Bad Guys' Etan Cohen. Throw in Glenn Close as the dastardly duo's deranged mother, Brendan Fraser as the screw loose crook tailing our anti-heroes across America, and Marisa Tomei singing "Suck on my balls!", and you've got all the makings of a real romp. Check out the quirky first trailer below:
Right from the get-go — in which a balaclava-clad Brendan Fraser yeets Dinklage's Jady at a wall and yells "Where are my emeralds?" — it's very clear that Good Time this ain't.

One of the most harrowing sequences in Spider-Man: No Way Home was the death of Aunt May. While the MCU’s Spider-Man had not received the traditional origin story of the death of Uncle Ben aiding his journey in becoming a hero, Tom Holland’s web-slinger finally gets his life-altering event that will propel his journey forward with Aunt May’s death.
While Marisa Tomei got to say the iconic ‘with great power comes great responsibility’ line, the scene itself was reportedly a bit different when conceived initially. The original concept art for the scene showed Tom Holland in a hospital with May and included a long, drawn-out sequence where they have an emotional exchange.

One of the best things to happen in Hollywood in recent years is that Michael Keaton’s career got a major second wind (but don’t call it a comeback) after a somewhat lower-key period. While the extent of Keaton’s career downturn pre-Birdman has indeed been overblown (let’s not forget he was still a big enough star to play the villain in the RoboCop reboot months before Birdman came out), it can’t be denied that Alejandro González Iñárritu’s movie gave him a major boost. Since then, he’s appeared In some amazing films, including Spotlight, The Founder, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. He has also done great TV work, such as the exceptional limited series Dopesick.
However, Keaton’s pre- and post-Beetlejuice/Batman career tends to be overlooked when discussing his filmography, which is a shame as he was already a...

Robert De Niro and Steve Buscemi were among the Hollywood stars who took part in Sunday’s “Paisans for Kamala,” a livestream featuring prominent Italian Americans hoping to drum up support and donations for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign.
De Niro kicked off the event — hosted by comedian Paul Mecurio, former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Joseph Paolino Jr. — by saying he’s hopeful that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will win the 2024 presidential election but warned that their supporters should not get complacent.
“I’m very optimistic about it all,” he said. “I’m very excited, but to me, it ain’t over till it’s over. So we can’t for one second think that we’re ahead of this thing. We just have to be on it all the time until the very end because they’re going to try everything when the election day comes.

Spider-Man: No Way Home was full of unforgettable moments, but the official MCU debut of Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock surely ranks alongside Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's respective returns.
While we only saw Cox as Matt (leaving us to continue waiting for the day Daredevil finally crosses paths with Spider-Man), the scene was made even more special by the actor sharing the screen with Jon Favreau.
While he's now best known for playing Happy Hogan and directing Iron Man, Favreau was the Foggy Nelson to Ben Affleck's Man Without Fear in 2003's ill-fated Daredevil.
Talking at the Tampa Bay Comic Con recently, Cox said, "In Spider-Man I got to do a scene with Jon Favreau, who I love. He also plays Foggy in that film [Daredevil 2003]. I'm not sure if it made it into the movie in the end, but we tried to get a pun in,...

After five appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marisa Tomei‘s favorite part of the superhero franchise was actually a behind-the-scenes love story.
The Academy Award winner had fond memories of watching her Spider-Man co-stars Tom Holland and Zendaya “fall in love” while making the movies as she appeared on a recent Fan Expo 2024 panel in Toronto.
“I think some of the favorite things were really just watching Tom and Zendaya grow up and watching them fall in love… and seeing their phenomenal talent,” said Tomei, according to Entertainment Weekly. “Just being, like, blown away from the the get-go… I mean, I’m blown away.”
She starred opposite Holland’s Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) as Aunt May Parker in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).

Marisa Tomei played May Parker in Jon Watts' Spider-Man trilogy, and despite being introduced as a much younger version of the character than we were used to seeing, the Academy Award-winner's take on Peter Parker's beloved aunt ended up being embraced by the fans.
In a somewhat surprising move, May was killed-off in Spider-Man: No Way Home after a run-in with the Green Goblin, most likely bringing her MCU journey to an end.
During an appearance at the Toronto FanExpo over the weekend, Tomei was asked if she could share her favourite behind-the-scenes moments from working on the Spider-Man movies.
“Watching Tom and Zendaya grow up and watching them fall in love,” she responded. "Seeing their phenomenal talent and being blown away from the get-go. They are incredible, incredible people."

Spider-Man is undoubtedly one of Marvel’s characters with the most enduring on-screen legacy. Although Sony owns the rights, the two studios eventually agreed to collaborate and share profits, allowing Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to star in his own McU-based film series.
Every Spider-Man needs his Mj, and in the MCU, that role went to Zendaya, one of Hollywood’s most popular young actresses. Zendaya’s Mj isn’t the traditional version; she has a unique backstory, a different name, and is considered a fresh reimagining of the original character.
By a twist of fate, Tom Holland and Zendaya fell in love while filming, and their romance extended beyond the screen. Marisa Tomei, who plays May Parker in the MCU, was recently asked at Fan Expo Canada about her favorite filming moments.

Every Spider-Man needs his Mj, and so that honor in the MCU fell to Zendaya, one of the most popular young actresses in Hollywood today. Zendaya is not your typical Mj, she has a different origin story and a different name and has been described as a reinvention of the original character.

Marisa Tomei’s casting as Aunt May way back in July 2015 was met with a lot of criticism. The actress was deemed too young and too pretty to play Aunt May, who had so far been played by actresses well into their 60s, or above. About nine years later, there seems to be a renewed controversy about her time as Aunt May, given that the actress was allegedly a terrible interviewee about her time on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

When a franchise or actor makes their mark in Pop-Culture history, most of us, if not all of us, definitely want some memorabilia. While Comic-Cons are usually filled to the brim with fans scouting for the best clothing, props and even action figures, some folks wait hours in line trying to get a close-up look at their favorite guests at these conventions. So, if Mark Hamill, the legendary Luke Skywalker actor, is handing out autographs, you’d best believe Star Wars fans would be clamoring to get there first.

Marvel Studios' Ryan Meinerding Shares New Look At Spider-man's Comic-Accurate Suit From No Way Home
In Spider-Man: No Way Home's closing moments, Peter Parker moved into a Manhattan apartment following the death of his Aunt May. The hero then swung through New York City's skyscrapers in a classic costume which appeared to ditch the many gadgets typically created for him by Tony Stark.
It took three movies but, with that, the MCU finally had a Spider-Man more in line with his comic book counterpart.
The suit had only seconds of screentime but has since been added to the Spider-Man 2 video game and turned into action figures courtesy of companies like Hasbro and Hot Toys.
Ryan Meinerding, Character Designer, Creative Director, and Marvel Studios Head of Visual Development, was at Comic-Con in San Diego this past weekend and hyped up his appearance with a gorgeous piece of artwork.
