Keira Knightley has long been a beloved figure in Hollywood, celebrated for her talent and elegance in rewatchable films like Pride and Prejudice and Atonement. However, with her rise to stardom in the early 2000s came an intense level of public scrutiny towards the young actress. Much of this centered around her physical appearance and

Your Monster has been on my must-watch 2024 movie list for a while. I love an unusual premise, especially with a bit of whimsy and debauchery. Overall, the film satisfied my need for an unconventional romance that’s a little weird but engulfs you in the story. I was ready to mark it down as one

It goes without saying that there are great Josh Brolin movies, and he’s become a legend in his own right. No Country For Old Men, True Grit, and Dune are just a few of the major titles under his belt. However, when he joined the all-star cast of American Gangster with Denzel Washington in 2007,

Henry Cavill is no stranger to being part of major genre franchises. He’s played Superman and Geralt of Rivia already, and he’s getting ready to play somebody who is as invincible as Superman and as good with a sword as The Witcher when he becomes the Highlander. Cavill is set to star in the reboot

While offbeat musicals have a place in the theater world, Wicked is a crowd-pleasing blockbuster of the stage that’s been on Broadway for two decades. The first Wicked movie is officially in theaters, and it’s a serious tear-jerker. And when Part 2 arrives, there’s one song I’m not emotionally ready to handle. Namely, Glinda’s big

Matthew McConaughey might be one of the most surprising and sustaining actors we have today. He’s been enjoyable in everything from his top standout performances to his beloved place in some classic rom-coms. Along the way, the 55-year-old realized that to sustain his career and peace of mind, something had to change. And he realized

The cast of the Harry Potter movies has been more or less synonymous with their magical fictitious roles ever since 2001. Hearing about alternative castings is always a surprise, including Nicholas Hoult potentially having been Harry. The 34-year-old has had plenty of great roles over the years and continues to have many more roles coming

We all have holes in our pop culture awareness. As a film critic, I generally feel that I have a professional responsibility to fill my personal holes… but there are only so many hours in a day, and there are new movies that premiere every single week. This is my baseline excuse for why I

These days, it’s impossible to talk about upcoming Stephen King adaptations without several mentions of fellow horror mastermind Mike Flanagan, whose latest film The Life of Chuck has yet to hit theaters in the midst of development on both a Dark Tower TV show and a series based on that most tragic of prom attendees,

Unless we see a miracle akin to jumping a 1970 Dodge Charger off of an exploding dam and surviving to share the story, the upcoming 2025 movies won’t include Fast X Part 2. That’s, of course, not the final name for the picture, as everything we know about Fast and Furious 11 still paints this

Alexandra Daddario has been busy this year–from her pregnancy and preparing for her son’s Halloween arrival to appearing in a few movies on our 2024 movie schedule, it seems like one for the books. To top off her year, and before launching into the last part of the year, holidays and all, the new mother

Lord of the Rings fans have been eating really well lately, as it’s been a while since the franchise has delivered content so consistently.

Last week the trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning debuted and fans are quite excited for the new film that continues to tease what could be the end for Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. Expectations for the new film are incredibly high, and one member of the Final Reckoning cast says the new movie

We’re somehow just three years away from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery turning the ripe and randy age of 30, which seems fortuitous, considering Mike Myers’ titular lothario first emerged in 1997 after being held in cryogenic stasis for a 30-year stretch. So is it possible that after all these years, the fan-favorite super-cool

Selena Gomez has never been one to shy away from bold decisions, but her decision to quit Disney and pivot into the provocative Spring Breakers was a move that shocked and intrigued audiences alike. The 2012 cult classic marked a major departure for the star, catapulting her from the squeaky-clean image of Wizards of Waverly

Celebrities are just like us: especially since they live all over the world, and increasingly less in California. When it comes to Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa, and her husband James Matthews, apparently the couple’s move to the English countryside has started a quiet stir in the town of West Berkshire, where they have been living

The Jurassic franchise has always been about more than just rampaging dinosaurs. It’s the awe, the danger and the fragile relationship between humanity and nature that make the films among some of the best science fiction movies of all time. Gareth Edwards, the director of the seventh installment in the series, the upcoming Jurassic World:

In the 2010s, Robert Pattinson was known for starring in the Twilight movies while Jennifer Lawrence earned massive fame for being in the Hunger Games films. Certainly these two would have a lot to talk about if they ever got together, right? Well, as it turns out, the actors have already had numerous conversations on

Nicole Kidman has had a wildly successful career as an actress and producer, working in both TV and film. Many of the best Nicole Kidman movies have been huge hits at the box office, but the industry has been suffering a bit in that regard. She recently called out the state of Hollywood amidst major

Now that those with an Amazon Prime subscription can stream the brand-new adaptation of James Patterson’s popular Alex Cross books, the bestselling author is getting real about his thoughts on the previous iteration of the thriller novels starring Tyler Perry. In a recent interview, Patterson shared he thinks Perry was “screwed” by Alex Cross director

While the genre has had a checkered past, movies based on video games have been doing well lately. Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog (which is streaming with a Paramount+ subscription), is considered one of the best video game movies, and it’s already grown into a full-blown franchise. The ending of Sonic 2 teased the arrival

Spoiler Warning: There are a ton of My Old Ass spoilers below. If you’ve yet to watch the Amazon Original, please back on up. My Old Ass, which became one of the best movies on Amazon with an incredible 90% Rotten Tomatoes score in November 2024, is one of the best experiences I’ve had from

Movie musicals have won Best Picture before, so its a genre that’s known for having great success. While we’e seen some offbeat musicals get their own film, the Jon M. Chu‘s Wicked is adapting a beloved blockbuster show. Some fans online are not happy about Wicked getting two movies. And here’s why I think they’re

The biggest job in entertainment is going to be vacant in a little over two years. Bob Iger is set to step down, again, as the CEO of The Walt Disney Company at the end of 2026. Who the next CEO of the company could be is far from clear. There are four different strong

Timothée Chalamet may be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, known for Dune, Call Me by Your Name, and Little Women, but his journey to success was anything but conventional. It might be hard to believe–especially since the internet has been swooning over Chalamet and Barry Keoghan for some time. But as someone with a lean

Almost every Mel Brooks movie is hilarious, but the comedian’s greatest work is probably his Star Wars parody, Spaceballs. Unfortunately, despite a joke in the movie about a sequel, the biggest way the 1987 film would end up different from Star Wars is that no sequel would come in the short term. But Josh Gad

Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest movie stars in the world. He’s a celebrity known by most of the planet. While he is a big star, Johnson publicly comes across as a pretty down-to-earth guy, but a story a few months ago alleged that working with Johnson on set was no picnic for the

For all that Halloween is the biggest holiday of the year for genre fans, more Thanksgiving horror movies are available than you may even realize. That sort of appetizing fact is probably quite satisfying to audiences not quite ready to hunker down for Christmas horror movies, but are hungry for some grim and gory (and

For decades, Denzel Washington has been one of the world’s biggest movie stars. That’s why when a teenage Glen Powell worked with him on 2007’s The Great Debaters, it was a dream come true. Powell only had a small role in the film, but Washington still ended up hugely influencing his acting trajectory. The Oscar

It’s hard being a celebrity in this day and age, as public scrutiny can be high. However, if you’re an actor like Tom Hanks, you’re still a beloved star and continue to make quality films. It probably won’t surprise fans to know Tom Hanks has just as big a heart as many of his characters.
