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.

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.

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. Washington was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture category for his performance as Macrinus in Gladiator II, one of the more recent 2024 movie releases. It’s

The James Bond franchise has long been a lightning rod for discussions about tradition, reinvention and gender representation. With Daniel Craig’s departure from the role of 007, speculation over who might don the iconic tuxedo in the upcoming James Bond 26 has run rampant. While some fans have been vocal about their desire to have

Tyler Perry has made audiences laugh and cry with his Madea movies and deep dramas like For Colored Girls, A Jazzman’s Blues, Good Deeds and more.

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. While the two are continuing to battle each other in court over a few outstanding issues, they have been legally separated for some time, allowing them both to move on with other relationships. Pitt has

No joke, I’ve watched Home Alone more than just about any movie. Born in the ‘80s and raised in ‘90s, watching Kevin McCallister defend his house from the Wet Bandits has pretty much been a holiday tradition for as long as I can remember. One of the best Christmas movies of all time, this classic

In July 2023, Ariana Grande made headlines when it was reported that she and Dalton Gomez were headed for divorce after two years of marriage. Those reports were eventually turned out to be true and, in March 2024, Gomez and Grande’s divorce was finalized. Around that same month, the songstress marked the debut of her

Well, I would say it is about time that an actor as talented as Cristin Milioti finally gets the attention she deserves. All it took was a role on one of the best 2024 TV shows, The Penguin, as Sofia Falcone. Let’s start there as I highlight my picks for the best Cristin Milioti movies

Last weekend, Apple Martin – the daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Chris Martin – made headlines in a major way. The 20-year-old was one of the participants at a debutante ball held in Paris and went viral for a moment involving another young woman. A TikTok video captured Apple seemingly stealing a photo

As the year soon comes to an end, I’ve been catching up on 2024 movies I didn’t have the chance to see in theaters, including Twisters now that it is streaming for those with a Peacock subscription. I’ll admit, I didn’t have high expectations for the sequel to the ‘90s classic over the summer, but

Taking note of the projects set to drop during the final weeks of the 2024 movie schedule and seeing snow start to fall must mean winter is upon us. However, the fashion choices celebs are making in December also show how much appreciation there is for the season. To prove that point, Emily Blunt just

Friends, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the 2024 movie schedule truly was the year of the popcorn bucket. And just when I thought we’d seen our final surprise with that gothic Nosferatu popcorn bucket, Disney came in to surprise us all. I certainly didn’t have a Mufasa: The Lion King replica

There are plenty of largely forgotten TV shows based on movies but did you know that there are just many cinematic TV series adaptations that have not stood the test of time? See for yourself by taking a look at some notable (or should we say “obscure”) movies based on TV shows that you likely

Mike Myers has played many unforgettable characters over his career, from Wayne Campbell in the Wayne’s World sketch from Saturday Night Live and two follow-up movies, to Austin Powers (and he’s indicated Austin Powers 4 could still happen). But for more than 20 years now, there’s a generation that arguably knows him best as the

Jared Leto accomplished a feat back in 2014 that so many actors dream of achieving. For his exemplary performance as Raymond Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club, the 30 Seconds to Mars musician won Best Supporting Actor at the 86th Academy Awards. But after experiencing unfortunate luck by literally losing his Oscar statuette, he revealed it

As far as 2024 movies go, Gladiator II almost felt like it took a lifetime to get into the world. There was certainly no shortage of interest, and as seen with Nick Cave’s absolutely bonkers sequel draft no drought on ideas. But when it came to actually cracking into the nuts and bolts of the

Performing for a camera is far different than performing for a live audience. I mean, that seems like a no-brainer. Any kind of entertainment not done live is always polished to perfection, whether it be for a movie, TV show or music video. If anything is shot live, there’s a distinct kind of fear, because

With Daniel Craig making waves on the 2024 movie schedule through his Queer performance, the actor has also been taking the time to deconstruct his time as 007. With the James Bond movies officially in the rear view, the typically frank Craig has given even more insight into his view on the role and how

First, I want to apologize for taking so long to finally watch Lisa Frankenstein. You know how it goes – tons of movies released on the 2024 movie schedule, and it’s sometimes hard to keep up with every single one of them, but Zelda Williams’ Lisa Frankenstein was on my list, especially since the story

Many of us probably know what it’s like to be embarrassed by our parents – whether they do so unintentionally or intentionally, just to have some fun with us.

Since the mid-1980s when hip-hop fully entered the popular culture, filmmakers have been including dope beats and great rhymes in the soundtracks of their movies, creating some of the best soundtracks of all time. Just as hip-hop hasn’t faded, nor has the use of it in movies over the last four-plus decades. Here are some

After Tom Cruise’s long-awaited Top Gun sequel became a monumental hit in 2022, it was only natural that the world would ask “When’s the next one?” Fans seem eager to see the stunt-defying star and the rest of the Maverick cast back on the big screen. We’ve heard from actors like Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly
