Dakota Johnson has been wearing a lot of on-the-nose netted outfits for Madame Web’s press run. The Los Angeles premiere of Sony Pictures’ latest superhero film was no exception, as Johnson sported another sequined netted look to nod at her famous comic character. While a lot of people are talking about the sheer number, I’m

Fresh off her first Oscar nomination, America Ferrera continues to receive praise for her Barbie performance and rousing finale speech about womanhood. While Hollywood and moviegoers celebrate Ferrara, her kids are ambivalent about their mother being in the summer blockbuster. On that note, she revealed her children’s funny reactions to the movie. The Barbie actress
Jennifer Lopez took on an enormous challenge with This is Me…Now: A Love Story, the “narrative driven, cinematic original” film that hits Prime Video this week. It wasn’t the singing, acting or intricate choreography featured in the 65-minute musical as the multi-hyphenate can do all of that in her sleep. The real hurdle arose when
There was a time when seeing iconic horror movie villains such as Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees slashing up young, defenseless civilians was the genre’s main draw. However, these days, audiences have come to better appreciate the Scream Queens and Scream Kings who know how to hold their own against the likes of masked killers,
The first trailer for the stand-alone sequel Twisters, which touched down during Super Bowl LVIII, puts Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos in the middle of the weather-related peril. Lee Isaac Chung‘s action film hits theaters July 19 from Universal Pictures. It is a follow-up to director Jan de Bont’s fondly remembered 1996 flick
Bradley Cooper’s Netflix movie, Maestro, has received seven nominations at the 96th Academy Awards, with Cooper himself receiving nods for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture. However, the Oscar nominee wasn’t able to make the cut for Best Director. He seems to be taking that turn of events in stride, though. On that
Poor Things, Oppenheimer and Saltburn won Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800) Awards in the categories for fantasy, period and contemporary live action features, respectively, at the 28th ADG Awards, which were handed out Saturday at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Ovation Hollywood.

The 1980s produced a ton of amazing movies, and with that, ushered in a crop of directors who still wow audiences today. Directors like Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, and Tim Burton all found their groove in that radical decade (even if a few technically started before 1980). Other directors came out of the
More than 30 years ago, Married to the Mob was a bona fide hit, well before making its mark as a TikTok trend. Jonathan Demme’s comedy stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Angela de Marco, who is fed up with her Long Island Mafia-adjacent lifestyle and eyes a new path after her husband, Frank (Alec Baldwin), is
It’s been over half a year since Barbie opened in theaters, and there’s still a lot of talk surrounding what CinemaBlend ranked as one of the best movies of 2023. Among the many things this movie has going for it is its all-star cast, which included looping in Michael Cera as Allan, although his manager
New Line’s The Conjuring movie series is coming back for one last ride. Or one last rite, as it were. The project, operating currently under the simple title of The Conjuring 4, has been in the works since early last year but has finally landed on a director. And it’s a familiar visage. Michael Chaves,
It has been over 20 years since the release of Lost In Translation, and it is widely considered to be one of the best films of the 2000s. The critically-acclaimed 2003 Sofia Coppola-directed film stars Bill Murray as Bob, an aging American actor who finds his star power to be dimming, so he ends up
Austria’s refreshingly outré official submission to this year’s Oscars race (it didn’t advance to the shortlist) is a captivating exploration of glamour, schmoozing and the soul-draining superficialities of what Joni Mitchell called the star-making machinery. As with their previous features, directors Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel handle all the top-line production duties themselves on Vera,
Jennifer Garner once called making 2004’s 13 Going On 30—which still totally holds up 20 years later, BTW—one of the “happiest” parts of her life. So, it’s not a surprise that she would take time out of her busy schedule to support (and roast) one of her buddies from the beloved rom-com: Mark Ruffalo, who
The Berlin Film Festival has pulled invites for members of the German far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Berlinale on Feb. 15 after a media backlash. “We have… today written to all previously invited AfD politicians and informed them that they are not welcome at the Berlinale,” Berlinale’s
Shrek, one of Dreamworks Animations’ best films, is about a green ogre who makes a deal with Lord Farquaad to rescue a princess in order to salvage control of his swamp overrun by fairy tale creatures. Believe it or not, while Shrek is obviously a cultural phonemon, the lovable ogre is also a hit with
Dakota Johnson got candid about why she feels the entertainment industry is “really fucking bleak.” In an interview with L’Officiel magazine, the Madame Web star said that with production company TeaTime Pictures, she and Ro Donnelly aim to tell intricate, detailed and nuanced stories with powerful female characters at the center.

Anybody who grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s is likely aware of the brightly colored stickers and school supplies designed by Lisa Frank. So it’s pretty easy to assume that there’s some nostalgia-fueled intrigue for the upcoming horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein. This movie with the clever portmanteau title puts an ‘80s twist on a
Emily Blunt is a first-time Oscar nominee this year for her role in Oppenheimer, but it turns out she didn’t find out about her nomination in the most Hollywood way. Speaking to Josh Horowitz for a conversation at 92NY on Tuesday, Blunt explained that being referred to as an Academy Award nominee doesn’t yet feel
When thinking about the ‘80s, there are three actors who immediately come to my mind-Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Carl Weathers. And while Schwarzenegger and Stallone are thankfully still alive and active, we recently lost the magnificent Carl Weathers. As a movie fan, Carl Weathers’ death depresses me, but as a Black movie fan,
Japanese anime giant Toei Animation (One Piece Film: Red, The First Slam Dunk) is teaming with Sonic the Hedgehog game designer Naoto Oshima, Shrek 2 and The Smurfs writer David N. Weiss and acclaimed animation producer Joseph Chou (Ghost in the Shell, Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim) on the English-language animated
Warning: SPOILERS for Argylle are in play. If you haven’t learned the secrets of Elly Conway’s world of espionage, you’ve been warned.

In 2016, Ryan Reynolds‘ first Deadpool movie scored a huge marketing touchdown at the Super Bowl when using the weekend of the big game to hold a number of promotional events, culminating with a final trailer spot released during the showdown between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers.

Actor Jacob Elordi is one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now, coming off of the well-reviewed Saltburn, which has been a much-talked-about drama this season. Much of the talk has been about a particular Saltburn bathtub scene. However, right now Elordi is a topic of conversation surrounding a recent incident in Australia that
When, in the opening minutes of Natatorium, a fresh-faced teen arrives at a blocky modernist showplace of a house, it seems she’s checking in to a swanky Airbnb. But the well-appointed dwelling, where an oppressively dark glacial blue predominates, turns out to be the unwholesome home of the grandparents she hasn’t seen in years. Estrangement
We know that Dune Part Two is heading to the big screen very soon and is one of the most anticipated movies of 2024.

Spurned by many critics and consumers alike, Matthew Vaughn‘s pricey spy comedy Argylle bombed at the North American box office in the biggest miss to date for Apple’s theatrical ambitions. The movie opened to an estimated $18 million from 3,605 cinemas against a price tag of $200 million to $250 million, according to sources. The
These days, it’s not easy for a comedy movie with a theatrical release to make a dent at the box office, but it’s certainly not impossible. 2023’s highest-grossing movie of the year, Barbie, was technically a comedy, but it did have the name of the most famous doll as its title.
