I’m a fan of sequels and long-running franchises…to a certain point.   You see, when it comes to most horror franchises, like the Friday the 13th series, or something like every Halloween movie, I’m usually all for long, drawn out series, since the later movies in said series usually become more and more ridiculous (It’s

It’s somewhat hard to believe, but it’s already been over a year since a verdict was reached in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial. The ruling was largely in Depp’s favor, as Heard was found guilty on three counts of defaming her ex-husband. Depp was found liable for one count of defamation though was

 The Mission: Impossible franchise exists mainly so that Tom Cruise can risk his life doing insane stunts. Most of the things that we see Ethan Hunt do on screen, like scale sheer buildings and riding motorcycles off of cliffs, are things we’d never really see real people do, but some of the character’s activities are,

Have you recently moved into a new house and it already feels like there is something off about the place? Do you often hear creeks and bumps in the middle of the night or pieces of furniture in places they were not before? Do you see dead people? Well, if you can relate to any

John David Washington is not one to shy away from stunt work, as he’s starred in plenty of action movies. Washington’s latest movie, The Creator, takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where it’s man vs. artificial intelligence, and with the Tenet star leading the movie as an ex-special forces agent recruited to kill a weapon

Getting Oscar winner Viola Davis to join the Hunger Games prequel was a major coup for the franchise. Some fans might be surprised by her casting, but Davis joining The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes wouldn’t have happened if not for one thing. The movie’s director opened up about Davis’s Hunger Games casting being inspired

There have been countless movies released over the years that have either adapted Biblical stories or are set in the era, and in the near future we’ll get another addition to that collection. However, The Book of Clarence, which stars LaKeith Stanfield as a man wanting to take advantage of the popularity of Jesus Christ

For many fans of a certain age, the most anticipated upcoming horror movie from the Halloween season and beyond is Five Nights at Freddy’s, the first live-action adaptation of the hugely popular video game series that has become a merchandising monolith over the years. While the lore filling out the games, novels, and short story

Nicholas Galitzine was perfectly cast as Henry in Red, White and Royal Blue. However, that is just one of many movies where he’s been the ideal actor for that role. He has perfectly played a prince in multiple movies, a gay hero in a few films, and even an aspiring musician in a movie or

Star Trek fans haven’t been lacking in new TV content for more than half a decade now, but the film side of the franchise has been in stasis ever since the release of Star Trek Beyond. Recently though, it seemed like that might be changing, as Star Trek 4 co-writer Lindsey Anderson Beer stated that

Henry Cavill’s haircut in Argylle, and the fans’ reactions to it, are giving the same energy as the Mission: Impossible and Justice League mustache situation. Following the release of the trailer for the action film, viewers quickly clocked the actor’s haircut with a flat top, and they got mad about the creative decision. However, there’s

Today is a sad day for Netflix customers who’ve enjoyed finding a DVD selected online in their mailbox. After 25 years, Netflix has gotten rid of its mail-in service and shipped out its final DVD. As the streaming service’s DVD system is shutting down, Full House’s John Stamos has revealed which DVDs he’s decided to

With The Walt Disney Company celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, it’s only appropriate that the release of a new animated movie musical is included as part of the festivities. Earlier this week, the studio dropped a new trailer for Wish, which follows a 17-year-old girl named Asha who finds her wish on a star

The success of the Bad Boys franchise can be boiled down to two main pillars. Between the keen eye of creative types like producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay, and the acting talents of stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, one of the best action movies was born. Bur looking back at 1995 film’s

Saw is officially back, with the 10th installment of one of the best horror movie franchises hitting theaters just in time to welcome in the month of Halloween. This offering, however, won’t feature Jigsaw copycats or students of John Kramer’s twisted games like in previous offerings. Saw X is actually centered around Tobin Bell’s character,

While it’s certainly a sad week to be a Harry Potter fan following news that Dumbledore actor Michael Gambon has died at the age of 82, with every ending comes a new beginning, and Ginny Weasley actress Bonnie Wright recently started a huge one in her life. The 32-year-old British actress just announced that earlier

Following the news of Michael Gambon’s death, many have paid tribute to the iconic actor. This, of course, includes many from the Harry Potter family as the performer began playing Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Much like the headmaster of Hogwarts, he is a legend, and many, including Jason Isaacs,

The moment Rocketman starts, it transports you into this story. You become part of Elton John’s world, for better or worse. I ended my first viewing with so much admiration for the singer. I couldn’t help but appreciate his artistry and sympathize with his trials and tribulations. I also loved Rocketman’s depiction of his friendship

Franchise movie-making is a big focus at every major studio. Offering audiences characters they are familiar with is proven to be successful, but one of the difficulties that comes with that is knowing when it’s time to end a franchise. The director of the newest Expendables movie is far from certain this will be the

Quentin Tarantino is a writer and director who clearly has no problems with violence going to extremes. Many of his movies include significant blood throughout their runtimes or include scenes that have become famous for their levels of intensity. Django Unchained certainly has its share of brutal violence, but apparently, the movie could have gone

Every so often a movie franchise will arrive and become a bonafide sensation. The Hunger Games is definitely in that category, especially since they were based on beloved novels of the same name by Suzanne Collins. Panem is returning to theaters with the prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which will feature a younger

The last several years have been quite good for Star Trek fans on the TV front, with shows like Discovery, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks keeping Paramount+ subscribers entertained. The film side of the franchise, however, has been decidedly lacking, as there’ve been no Star Trek movies released since 2016’s Star Trek Beyond. However,

Fans of the Saw franchise are all undoubtedly excited for the upcoming Saw X release date of this Friday. The new movie not only adds to the surprisingly profound lore of the franchise but does so by bringing back two iconic characters, John Kramer and Amanda Young, despite the fact that both are canonically dead.

It’s almost an unwritten rule that if you’re competing for the lead role in the James Bond movies, multiple try outs can only boost your odds. As Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan’s hirings came after previous attempts had failed, that lesson is pretty well enforced in 007 lore. Which is probably why Rupert

Martin Scorsese’s decades-spanning career is legendary, from movies like Raging Bull and Taxi Driver from the ’70s, to modern classics of the 2000s like The Wolf of Wall Street and The Departed. The director has made some of the best movies of all time, however apparently there is a world where some of our favorites

In March 2022, Bruce Willis was forced to retire from acting due to being diagnosed with aphasia. By the following February, Willis’ family shared with the public that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia, and that “challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces.” Now the Die Hard alum’s wife,

It’s almost October and some stars are getting an early start to the spooky season. The weather is getting cooler, so why not start celebrating Halloween now? While most like to start the decor after September ends, Kourtney Kardashian decided it was time to bring in the holiday with some spooky home decor. The reality

Last year, the third installment in David Gordon Green’s Halloween franchise, Halloween Ends was released. The trilogy starred Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her character, Laurie, from John Carpenter’s original 1978 Halloween film. The horror flick was meant to finally conclude the franchise once and for all, by using “Ends” in the title and Curtis’ departure.

As we see the 2023 movie release schedule winding up for its last couple of months, it will soon time for the big dogs to come out to play. Or, in the case of the upcoming animated sequel PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, it’s the rise of the little dogs that’s more specifically in focus.
