Who is Bob Dylan? The living legacy of the folk musician seems to evoke questions upon questions. As someone who grew up during a time when every move Britney Spears made seemed to be recorded on the front page of tabloids in the checkout line at grocery stores, I found an air of intrigue about

Like Thanksgiving last month, the weekend before Christmas is always a big showdown time for big studio blockbusters. The regular thinness of the release calendar in January allows for tentpole titles to grow long legs, so what may initially appear as a logjam can result in a whole lot of ticket sales. This year’s big

The highly anticipated A24 drama Babygirl has been generating buzz for its steamy sex scenes performed by Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson and the taboo romance at the center. While erotic thrillers can be fun for an audience, the craft of directing intimate scenes is unique, and lately has been re-examined. The use of intimacy

Across the nearly two decades The Holiday has warmed rom-com lovers’ hearts, it has become one of the best Christmas movies to watch around this time of year. In recent years, there have been whispers of a sequel being in the works along. With that, fans of the film have been calling for a reunion

When it comes to upcoming horror movies, we’re about to see a ton of classic movie monsters return to the fold.

With Christmas around the corner, it’s time to turn on the best Christmas movies you can find on TV and the best streaming services.

Billy Bob Thornton has been in a lot of big movies and TV shows over the years, but apparently the actor could have played two iconic movie villains. The actor shared why he turned down being in one of the best Spider-Man movies and being an adversary to Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt for rather practical

You cannot make this stuff up, folks. Just a handful of years after we all mocked that first Sonic the Hedgehog trailer, the 2024 movie schedule has delivered a sterling threequel into our laps in time for the holidays. But it appears that we’ve got another present under the tree from Paramount and Sega. We

The 2025 movie schedule is chock full of massive films, including the much anticipated Jurassic World Rebirth.

The horror genre has been thriving for years now, to the delight of fans like myself. Some of the best horror movies have been released during the current renaissance, while we’re still able to look forward to upcoming horror movies.

Florence Pugh is, seemingly, one of the most diligent working actors today. She had two major 2024 movie schedule hits but has had seven titles to her name over the past two years (and with more on the way). The British actor has taken account of her professional successes, amongst them are comedies, blockbusters, iconic

The Harry Potter movies made stars out of the three young actors who played Harry, Ron, and Hermione, making Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson household names. Or at least I thought they did. It turns out that even four movies in, not everybody knew Emma Watson’s name, and that includes her then-co-star, Robert

From the outside looking in, many of us equate landing a position in a big franchise movie is a huge win. Getting to see a big and loved franchise like Guardians of the Galaxy or Avatar on a resume might seem like a success because it means more work is coming, and with that is

Florence Pugh is easily one of Hollywood’s most sought-after stars right now, as she continues to book high-profile gigs. As her star rises though, so does the level of scrutiny she receives from the general public.

When I first heard about Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, I had a feeling this was going to be one of the most remarkable and emotional experiences on the 2024 movie schedule. When I saw the documentary’s beautiful trailer over the summer, I made a note to watch it as soon as it became available

Jamie Foxx garnered attention from fans this weekend following an alleged altercation that took place at a restaurant. It was reported that the fan-favorite actor had been assaulted, with glass having apparently been thrown at his face. Following the situation, a representative for Foxx spoke out, explaining that he was indeed injured during the ordeal

I’m a man who was born in 1983 (but consider myself a ‘90s kid), so I have to be a huge fan of Transformers, right? Well…not exactly. Thundercats? You betcha. G.I. Joe? You know it! And don’t even get me started on the Ninja Turtles, because I’ve probably written more about them than anything else

While many of us pine of the gifts Santa Claus might bring us, stars in Hollywood covet Tom Cruise’s Christmas cake is so famous that one could argue that he’s basically the movie industry’s own St. Nick. The actor has been sending out these amazing white chocolate coconut cakes to various A-Listers for decades, and

For a good collection of people, Disney movies have been a staple of their childhoods. And for some of these fans, the idea of being in or working on one is a dream. That was the case for Princess and the Frog’s Anika Noni Rose, as she recently looked back at the emotional first steps

It’s a big day for stage and screen legend Dick Van Dyke, as the actor turned 99 years old on December 13. I’m not sure what the man possibly known best for his eponymous 1960s sitcom and for playing Bert in Mary Poppins — the best Disney movie of its decade — had planned to

Jerry Bruckheimer is responsible for some of the most popular movies ever made. From some of the best ‘80s classics, like Beverly Hills Cop and Flashdance, to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to, oh yeah, a couple of small movies called Top Gun, the producer has made so many box office hits it’s difficult

Listen, I love to laugh. So, as I worked my way through the 2024 movie schedule, I was making sure I saw as many comedies as I could. From action comedies to surprisingly emotional comedies to even slasher comedies, this year was full of funny fun. Therefore, since I’ve seen 20 comedies this year –

The Golden Globe nominations were announced a few days ago, and Denzel Washington is among the many talents who will be recognized in the upcoming ceremony.

The 2025 Movie schedule is shaping up to be a year of much anticipated three-quels, with 28 Years Later being one of the most hotly tipped titles. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s original film, and the franchise that followed, you have to admit it’s a pretty intriguing

When it comes to horror movies, the first element that most prospective viewers likely want to know about is the scares, which makes sense. As a horror movie fan, you can only be spooked by the loud boom sound effect and a two-second jump scare so many times. Many recent entries in the genre have

At this point, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s lengthy divorce has gone considerably longer than the pair were actually married.
