My own personal experience with the modern horror renaissance that I believe we are still very deep into at this point dates back to 2015 when I saw a movie called It Follows. The sophomore effort by writer and director David Robert Mitchell — in which a young woman (played by Maika Monroe) becomes targeted

In a recent update on Mortal Kombat 2, producer Todd Garner clarified the movie’s filming schedule. Contrary to earlier reports, he has definitively stated that production is set to recommence sooner than initially indicated, because with the strike’s conclusion, productions previously on hold, including Mortal Kombat 2, are now gearing up to resume filming. Recently,

A new chapter in The Hunger Games story is set to arrive with the release of the spinoff prequel The Ballad of the Songbirds and Snakes next weekend.

In 2023, John Wick is one of the greatest action franchises in Hollywood, which so far consists of four movies and a TV show, and has more projects on the way. But back in 2014, the title assassin played by Keanu Reeves was an unknown commodity, arriving in a month that also delivered movies like

This week, SAG-AFTRA’s battle with Hollywood producers finally came to an end after 118 days when the two parties came to an agreement on Wednesday.

‘Weekend Update’ host Colin Jost and six-time SNL guest host Scarlett Johansson have been dating since 2017 and married since 2020 (by Steve Higgins), which means this year will be the fourth holiday season they’ve celebrated as a married couple.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE ENDING OF “THE MARVELS.” With “The Marvels” finally in theaters, everyone’s already talking about the incredibly exciting ways it sets up new teams to join the MCU.

In August 2022, Hollywood was hit with the bombshell news that Batgirl had been scrapped, despite the then-upcoming DC movie having already been shot. Since then, a variety of tore projects from Warner Bros. Discovery have been set aside, and as of today, there’s another movie that’s been added to this unfortunate list. However, there’s

We all know that Jennifer Garner has got the moves. In one of her best movies,13 Going on 30, we saw she and the cast of the 2003 rom-com bust out those ‘80s dance moves with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” While watching Garner dance to “Thriller” was an entertaining sight, I couldn’t stop laughing watching her

Nintendo has been a powerhouse in the video game industry for decades, but the past few years have seen the company shine in the cinematic space. The Super Mario Bros. Movie became the first 2023 movie release to cross $1 billion, and in 2019, Detective Pikachu performed respectably at the box office. Now Nintendo has

Amidst the publication of Megan Fox’s first book – a collection of poetry titled Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, which hitting bookshelves on Tuesday – the actress has shared a challenging experience both she and longtime partner Machine Gun Kelly went through in their personal life.

Actor and author 9of bestselling memoir Greenlights, Matthew McConaughey celebrated turning 54 over the weekend, and with that he received a sweet social media message from his eldest son about how he views him as a father. Fifteen-year-old Levi McConaughey recently shared sweet sentiments about the one-time Oscar nominated actor that offers the public an

Typically, actors will work their hardest to promote a film to the best of their ability… at first, that is. Sometimes, years (or months) after said movie releases, the stars will not hold back on their true feelings. See for yourself by taking a look at some of the, so-called, worst movies starring famous actors,

With every live-action Disney adaptation, there is always a villain – and today, we will rank them.  Live-action Disney adaptations have been going on for years now. While the first technical one was when Disney decided to make 101 Dalmatians into a live-action years ago (which is honestly a great dog movie), we started to

It can be difficult for a movie set to generate a feeling of reality. On top of the ever-watching eye of the camera lens and that there are members of the crew everywhere, there is generally a lot of repetition to all of the action as multiple takes are filmed, and there are long breaks

It was back in May 2022 that Stephen King first revealed that he was writing a sequel to Cujo, but details were kept to a minimum. It’s called “Rattlesnakes,” and the author described a particular scene that plays out in the story, but he didn’t reveal exactly how the sequel connects to his beloved 1981

Daniel Radcliffe is one of many former child actors who went on to take wilder roles wilder after finishing their stints in recognizable IPs. Since the Harry Potter movies (which we’ve ranked) concluded, he’s played a gassy animated corpse in Swiss Army Man, a man who wakes up with magical horns on his head in

Spoilers below for anyone who still hasn’t walked through the pizzeria doors of Five Nights at Freddy’s, so be warned! While Blumhouse and Universal’s Five Nights at Freddy’s may not hit the same box office heights as that other 2023 video game adaptation, it crushed so hard on its opening weekend that director Emma Tammi’s

There have been some totally wild movie endings over the years, and others that many remember more than their respective movies, so much so that they’ve entered the zeitgeist even for those who’ve never watched them before. However, some of those iconic Academy Award-winning films almost had alternate endings that differed drastically from what we

Hollywood said goodbye to The Hunger Games movies eight years ago when Mockingjay Part 2 brought Katniss Everdeen’s story to a close for good. Following the trilogy, the books’ author Suzanne Collins became inspired by Panem once again, and she wrote her 2020 prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Now, this Hunger Games

Fools Rush In is one of those romantic comedies that helped develop my love for the genre. I saw it many times as a child and teen. However, like many movies I loved when I was younger, I haven’t seen it in a while. Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek’s chemistry always made this a charming

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is filled with memorable moments, but one of the most quotable comes from Ryan Gosling’s Ken during the third act of the film. After Margot Robbie’s Stereotypical Barbie and some of the others hatch a plan to reclaim Barbie Land, she visits Ken to say she wants to become his “long-term

Austin Butler stunned audiences as Elvis Presley in 2022’s biopic Elvis, which garnered eight Academy Award nominations, and now we’re getting the story from a different perspective.

For over 100 days now, tons of actors have been out of work and on the picket line during SAG-AFTRA’s actors strike as the organization goes back and forth with Hollywood studios on updated negotiations for actors in the age of streaming and AI.

Priscilla is the latest buzzy A24 movie to make headlines. The Sofia Coppola film offers a fresh perspective on the romance between Priscilla and Elvis Presley. It is told from Priscilla’s point of view and stars Cailee Spaeny in the title role alongside Jacob Elordi’s Elvis. It is somewhat of a star-making performance for the

I don’t care what critics say – I enjoyed the new Five Nights at Freddy’s movie. I grew up watching horror playthroughs. One of the first games I ever watched someone else play on YouTube was Telltale’s The Walking Dead. The video game later got me interested in watching the TV show, The Walking Dead until its emotional finale.

Normally when CinemaBlend does a staff-wide best-of list, the loudest and most aggressive arguments are about the order. Not for The Best Christmas Movies. Sure, plenty of us have #thoughts about a few festive choices being too low or too high, but the most heated conversations were all about what counts as a Christmas movie
