Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was one of the biggest films of 2023, having an insane box office haul and winning several Academy Awards. The flick delved deep into the life of J.

Director Alexandre Aja’s Never Let Go is a balancing act. The audience is told up front that this is a story full of fantastical nightmares… but is it?

Saturday Night Live’s history is long, storied and well-documented, plus many of the comedians who worked on the show – including members of the original 1975 cast – are still working.

For nearly 40 years, Goonies fans have been waiting for news about a potential sequel to one of the best ’80s movies.

While the future of the main John Wick film series remains shrouded in uncertainty considering the way John Wick: Chapter 4 ended, the franchise as a whole isn’t going anywhere.

I have mixed feelings on “the book was better” discourse when it comes to feature adaptations.

As is the case for other 1999 films, Fight Club (one of the best movies of the ‘90s) is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, which is absolutely wild to think about.
