October 16th, 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. The last century has been an incredibly successful one when it comes to the entertainment that the studio has produced. Today, it’s near impossible to imagine a world where the name Disney doesn’t conjure up images of happiness, but it almost wasn’t so,

This has been a remarkable year for Events at our local movie theaters. The latest offerings from Marvel Studios might not be the universal draw that they once were, but studios are figuring out different ways to create buzz at the box office. The summer conversation was dominated by Barbenheimer, with audiences supporting both Barbie

Over the years, there have been movies with endings so shocking, so hard to believe, and so wild, that audiences have been left with their mouths agape and heads filled with all kinds of questions and emotions. We’ve seen Academy Award-winning films do it, some of the best Marvel movies have wrapped up with unforgettable

Margot Robbie has been getting a lot of attention this year for being the leading lady of Barbie. But, let us not forget about Robbie’s other movies that shaped her career.

Billie Eilish first turned heads with her gorgeous vocals at the age of 13 when she released her first single “Ocean Eyes” on SoundCloud, which nabbed her a record deal and served as the beginning to her now-massive career. But most people (including myself) first became acquainted with Billie four years later when “bad guy”

After the Harry Potter films split the final book in the series, The Deathly Hallows, into two separate films, tons of book adaptations followed in its footsteps in the years to follow, including the ending of The Hunger Games movies, Mockingjay.

We recently saw the conclusion of The Continental: From The World Of John Wick, the first story set in this world of assassins that did not include John Wick himself as the main character. The Peacock show was… fine? Honestly, I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it, which makes the show a

Critically speaking, Bumblebee has been the most well-received of the Transformers movies, as evidenced by its 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. CinemaBlend’s own Dirk Libbey was among the its many supporters, giving Bumblebee 3.5 out of 5 stars in his review. However, it failed to commercially outperform any of its predecessors, and it also turns out

Barbie’s outfits are everything, and Barbiecore is having a major moment. The costumes from Barbie have gone viral, and when the film came out on the 2023 movie schedule, the outfits featured in Greta Gerwig’s film were replicated by fans immediately. Now, the creative team behind Margot Robbie’s doll’s look is opening up about crafting

Through over six decades of James Bond movies, there has been a wide assortment of notable actors that have played heroes, villains, and roles in-between in the long running saga. As there’s 25 movies to keep track of, you might still be surprised by who shows up in a 007 adventure upon rewatching the series.

While the weekend of Friday, October 13 would normally reserved for spooky season heavy-hitters at movie theaters, this year it will be bursting with Swifties going out to see the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film in its opening days.

10 years ago, Rick & Morty premiered on Adult Swim, and all this time later, it remains one of the Cartoon Network programming block’s most popular shows, with Rick & Morty Season 7 just days away from premiering. As things currently stand, the animated series is guaranteed another three seasons of 10 episodes each, and

This past summer, Barbie took the cinematic world by storm, earning critical acclaim, becoming the second movie to cross $1 billion following The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and now ranking as the highest-grossing of the 2023 movie releases. One of the big reasons for its success is the chemistry between lead actors Margot Robbie and

Do you remember when Baz Luhrmann had Cowboy Hugh Jackman head for the outback in Australia? This epic adventure drama was a huge letdown at the box office when it entered theaters in 2008. Thats all the more reason why The Great Gatsby director’s wild plans to re-release the movie as a miniseries have me

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is the biggest movie of the year. One of the most talked about parts of that movie is almost the big song and dance number “I’m Just Ken.” The movie (which is not a musical) stops for a moment and becomes something completely incredible when Ryan Gosling begins to sing. Even Gerwig

Ambition could practically be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s middle name. Even at the age of 76, the star of some of the best action movies still knows how to hustle.

There are many classic characters of folklore that are staples of many great horror movies, such as witches. These spell-casters are often depicted as ruthless harbingers of doom in some of the darkest tales that cinema has ever told — such as Robert Eggers’ aptly titled, unsettling drama, The Witch, from 2016. However, there are

When Barbie was first in talks, audiences were only provided with cryptic teasers about it, like its lead actress Margot Robbie calling it “something totally different.” The next Mattel film that’s making us scratch our heads is Barney. It’s mainly that we don’t even know what it’s going to be about. After the Daniel Kaluuya-produced

Sometimes actors will take a gig like within the franchise of James Bond movies solely on the strength of the material. Casino Royale star Mads Mikkelsen counts as one such person, as the man who played the dastardly Le Chiffre didn’t know how “big” of a deal 007 was when he landed the part. Even

Considering Scott Cawthon’s Five Nights at Freddy’s multimedia franchise has inspirational roots in the animatronic stage shows popularized by ShowBiz Pizza, there’s a certain pop culture logic behind the idea that the latter’s corporate devourer Chuck E. Cheese would make for an ideal promotional partner. Not that the two vibes are similar in the slightest,

Now, let’s get something straight, when we watch Fast and Furious movies we are not seeking them out for scientific accuracy. We are watching them for fast cars, fantastical action and family…duh. However, it’s hard not to wonder if the wild stunts and missions in these movies could actually happen in real life. I know

Black filmmakers have experienced great success in Hollywood that’s somewhat reminiscent of the era of prominence that occurred during the 1990s and early 2000s.

Among all the 2023 new movie releases, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has become one of the most successful films of the year behind Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Gareth Edwards’ first movie since Rogue One may not be another Star Wars movie, but The Creator has some of a galaxy far, far away in its DNA. Not only is it the Rogue One director’s first movie in seven years, it also includes some fun nods to the 2016 movie… that is, if you

It looks like Amber Heard is starting a new chapter in her life following the defamation verdict of the Depp Vs. Heard trial. Despite insider claims that Heard has “quit Hollywood,” the 37-year-old actress is back and ready to take on the silver screen yet again. Related to her post-trial film In the Fire, Heard

Emma Watson stepped away from acting after wrapping on Harry Potter, and while the actress has done some film projects since then, she’s also been involved in fashion, activism, her family’s business, and even dipped her toes into the worlds of producing and directing. But is she done with acting as a whole? It’s clear

Jon Hamm is a TV and film actor who doesn’t shy away from looking handsome. His square shoulders and jaw can’t hide from the camera when he’s in projects like Mad Men or Million Dollar Arm, as well as his best random cameos. On the other hand, Hamm doesn’t always find being called “handsome” by

When it comes to iconic 2000s movie moments, especially in the comedy-horror genre, few scenes are more memorable than Carmen Electra’s striking appearance in the cult classic Scary Movie. As Drew Decker, the stunning actress parodied the infamous opening scene from Scream featuring Drew Barrymore. Electra’s character meets a hilarious, albeit gruesome fate as she

While Kevin Costner may have left Yellowstone for good, this doesn’t mean he’s left the ranch forever.
