The latest episode of Marvel Studios’ WandaVision left Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen speechless. It’s been one year since Modern Family wrapped up and Bowen was able to celebrate in an unexpected way, thanks to Marvel Studios and Disney+. The sitcom ran for eleven seasons, from 2009 to 2020, and it followed the lives of three
Captain America: The Winter Soldier was the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film Joe and Anthony Russo worked on, so they were understandably excited, so much so that they apparently brought many family members to set and stuck them in the film as extras. In a throwback post on the Russo Brothers’ Twitter, they’ve various members
Why so serious? Put on your finest outfit and join On Set Cinema this August inside Bruce Wayne’s penthouse in downtown Gotham (aka downtown Chicago) for a very special screening of The Dark Knight. A screening of The Dark Knight will be held exactly where Joker (Heath Ledger) and his goons crash Harvey Dent’s (Aaron
At this point in his career, Robert De Niro could sit back, polish his two Oscars (not to mention his Cecil B. DeMille Award), and rest on his laurels, but that’s not the style of the Hollywood living legend, at least not for the next few years. In the near future, the 77-year-old actor, director,
Recent Fantastic Four casting rumors have Marvel fans defending the cast of the original live-action movies. In 2005, the first theatrically-released movie based on the superhero team was released, starring Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards, Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, and Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm. The four all reprised
The relationship between Stephen King and Hollywood has been symbiotic for nearly half a century at this point. Since the release of Brian De Palma’s Carrie in 1976, there have only been six calendar years that didn’t see a studio adaptation either debut in theaters or air on the small screen. As the author keeps
Saturday Night Live got in on the Gina Carano controversy this weekend, taking aim at the former star of The Mandalorian‘s firing from Lucasfilm in the show’s cold open. Best known for playing Cara Dune on the Star Wars series, Carano was let go earlier this month from her role on the series following months
The character had this very dramatic arc, you know, the real Ross Ulbricht had this very dramatic arc. He went into this, I think kind of naively probably as a dreamer, ‘Hey, I want to change the world. I want to make my mark, I want to empower people’s individual rights and freedoms.’ And I
In many ways, the 1997 feature Titanic was the last old-school Hollywood blockbuster, relying on star power and a dramatic story to win over audiences instead of CGI or brand recognition. The rumors surrounding the making of the film have taken on epic proportions since. One long-standing legend was that Matthew McConaughey was set to
With all the talk surrounding Taylor Sheridan’s hit Paramount series Yellowstone, its spinoff, and other television projects in the works, now is the perfect time to talk about the former Sons Of Anarchy star and Academy Award nominee’s upcoming film, Those Who Wish Me Dead. Featuring a plot that sounds like The Client meets The
The latest episode of WandaVision answered the biggest question the MCU Phase IV had begun with- who is helming the ever-spreading pseudo-reality in the small town of Westview. There were other major reveals as well, such as how the fake Pietro landed in Westview but there is still the lingering question of who he really
Kevin Smith is one of the most prolific filmmakers to have emerged over the last three decades. While his work has received a mixed reception, many of his films are considered classics. One of those classic features is the buddy comedy Clerks. A third film in the series, entitled Clerks 3, was announced years ago,
Wonder Woman 1984 star Chris Pine is reuniting with his Hell or High Water co-star Ben Foster for Violence of Action, a new thriller from STXfilms. The one-two dramatic punch of Pine and Foster should hopefully prove to once again be as gruffly charismatic as in their 2016 collaboration in this story of black ops
It’s true! Adam Sandler has kept a lot of the same people around for his movies in the past 25 years, which is just incredible really. He recently teamed up with his co-writer on Happy Gilmore, Tim Herlihy for Hubie Halloween, but the pair have been writing movies together throughout the years, between Mr. Deeds
Parents everywhere were thrilled to see the popular children’s program Yo Gabba Gabba featured in the latest episode of WandaVision. Without getting into the particulars of the episode for those who haven’t watched it yet, there was a moment in WandaVision where Brobee and his pals could be seen singing and dancing on television. This
Do The Right Thing (1989) Do The Right Thing is a Spike Lee movie about one hot day in a Brooklyn neighborhood. All day, racial tensions continue to rise until a major event turns tragic.

We are still waiting on the long-discussed Spawn movie reboot but now, Todd McFarlane is hinting at a possible Spawn cinematic universe. Yes, it seems the creator of the character and the man behind Image Comics has his sights set on something bigger. The question is, does Hollywood have an appetite for it? Todd McFarlane
Back in the late 1990s a live-action 101 Dalmatians was produced starring Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil, and the movie was such a success that a sequel 102 Dalmatians soon followed. The films are widely credited with popularizing the Dalmatian puppies as a pet. However, it seems that as the large, high energy dogs
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is set to introduce not just all the major DCEU superheroes so far, but a new one as well, namely J’onn J’onzz, the shape-shifting superhero known as the Martian Manhunter. Snyder has previously confirmed that the Manhunter has existed in the DCEU ever since Man of Steel, in the guise of
Of course it has to be an issue in some form if Olivia Wilde is bringing it up, but as her critics refer to, equality doesn’t get far when we award gold stars for something A-list female actors have had to do no question just to get a role to begin with. That aside, we
Last year, comedic powerhouse Kristen Wiig surprised everyone with her villainous turn as The Cheetah in Wonder Woman 1984. Now, the actress is once again playing a villain in Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. The director of the movie, Josh Greenbaum, recently revealed that Wiig disappeared so completely into the role that
Chris Pratt’s part in Thor: Love and Thunder has been kept under wraps. How he and the rest of the Guardians cast will play in the Thor: Ragnarok sequel remains unknown. But their part in the movie will presumably be minimal, as Thor: Love and Thunder just began filming in January. For any Chris Pratt
While MCU fans forever lost three beloved superheroes in Avengers: Endgame, it was Tony Stark’s Iron Man whose tragic death hit the hardest because not only was he a fan-favourite but also, his demise was something hardly anyone saw coming. That’s why watching him die on-screen and Pepper telling him it’s okay to let go
Dead Girl To be clear, Joey King’s horror movie career has not been completely thankless, as she did play a member of the Perrons in The Conjuring when she was 14. In fact, her character, Christine, is probably the one child whose suffering due her family’s haunting appears the most visible in James Wan’s 2013
Looks like the pseudo-reality created by Wanda in Westview is not going to stand for long as the latest WandaVision clip from the upcoming seventh episode confirms that everything she has created is indeed coming apart. And oh, Billy is already exhibiting some Professor X-like powers because evidently, he can hear more than just Vision’s
While Tom Holland is an actor that’s certainly capable of range, we’re only just starting to see him branch out with the rather extreme looking Cherry. As we’ve seen in the past, Eon Productions typically casts someone who’s in that sweet spot between somewhat of an established name, but not too big of a brand,
It was announced last summer that Predator and Alien are both coming to Marvel Comics. But not without wrecking a little havoc amongst their various iconic superheroes first. The Hunter from Predator will be getting a new series of Marvel stories later in 2021. Before that happens, the iconic 20th Century Fox movie monster, who
