Although Sebastian Stan’s rise to fame began when he played Carter Baizen on Gossip Girl, it was being cast as Bucky Barnes, the future Winter Soldier, in Captain America: The First Avenger that gave him global recognition.

It may have taken 23 years for Gladiator 2 to happen, but I have a feeling it will be well worth the wait to see fellow Oscar nominee Paul Mescal leading the sequel donning that armor. He’ll be playing Maximus’ son Lucius who becomes a gladiator after his home is invaded by General Marcus Acacius’

Gladiator was a huge hit in its day.

[NOTE: This review is partially adapted from my reaction to Conclave following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival] Arriving just in time for award’s season, Edward Berger’s Conclave can be likened to a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

In a world where franchise filmmaking is king, making a new franchise isn’t an easy job. And yet, 10 years ago, Stuntmen turned directors Chad Stehelski and David Leitch came together and gave the world John Wick. The movie gave new life to Keanu Reeves and every entry is among the best action movies of

Following in the footsteps of Russell Crowe, it’s fellow Oscar-nominee Paul Mescal’s turn to battle in the Colosseum for Gladiator II.

In 2022, Parker Finn’s Smile ended up being a massive box office surprise.

While we tend to talk about the differences between the Twilight movies and books quite a bit, we don’t talk about enough of the variety of experiences the Twilight cast had on the popular films.

The 2024 movie schedule is filled with major titles facing large expectations. It’s fair to say that’s definitely the case with Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, the long-gestating sequel to the director’s Oscar-winning 2000 historical epic starring Russell Crowe. Well, the time has finally arrived, as the first batch of critics have feasted their eyes on

Much like an episode of Saturday Night Live, the film Saturday Night is filled with an overwhelming number of characters and chaotic energy. I mean that in a complimentary way, because it was incredible seeing a wonderful cast of young actors playing comedy legends like John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris and more.

The cast of the first Smile movie already freaked us out introducing audiences to a sinister creepy grin. The second time around, Smile 2 is bringing those freaky grins on a pop singer’s world tour.

Andrew Garfield has already had a long and wildly successful career, one that earned him an Academy Award nomination recently.

We’re still two weeks away from Halloween, and there’s been plenty of options on the 2024 movie calendar to make horror movie fans smile. But, as we learned from a certain 2022 flick, that’s not always a good thing, and now, Parker Finn is back with the sequel Smile 2, which is set to hit

After getting the public’s attention in 1992 with Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino delivered Pulp Fiction two years later. Met with critical acclaim and performing excellently at the box office, some would argue it’s Tarantino’s best movie, with its cast being just one of the ways it shines. Included in that lineup of talent is Samuel

Chris Hemsworth was cast as Thor years ago, headlined incredibly successful movies and participated in philanthropic efforts. Of course, aside from being a beloved movie star and philanthropist, he’s also one of the select few who’s been named Sexiest Man Alive.

Jan de Bont’s Speed is undeniably one of the best action movies out there, with its high-octane race for survival largely set aboard a bomb-strapped bus. Not to mention, the stellar casting of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock helped make this ‘90s flick all the more memorable. That duo almost didn’t exist, though, considering Reeves

Pokémon Detective Pikachu proved to be a solid hit in 2019 and in some circles, has been dubbed one of the best video game movies ever made.

If you are watching the crowd during a Knicks or Lakers home game, odds are you’ll see some A-listers sitting courtside.

Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh are the stars of the new A24 film, We Live In Time.
