Despite Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick differing creatively, The Shining, adapted from King’s 1977 novel of the same name, stands as a cinematic masterpiece and a landmark in the pantheon of great horror movies. While the film is rife with chilling scenes that have etched themselves into the collective memory of audiences, one particular sequence

If what you’re looking for this holiday season is a sweet romance full of magic and cheer, there are plenty of upcoming Christmas movies to choose from. However, if you need something a little stronger in your eggnog to get you through December, John Woo’s Christmas action thriller Silent Night might be more your style.

Look, I know Schindler’s List is often considered to be Liam Neeson’s best movie, and I get it. Schindler’s List is an excellent film, and definitely one of Steven Spielberg’s best movies.   I also know that a lot of people would probably pick something like Taken, or Batman Begins, or hell, even Darkman if

Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels were a wild phenomenon, and the movie franchise starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson only helped the series soar further. Following the original Twilight movie just turning 15, let’s look back on the story behind Taylor Lautner’s iconic role as Jacob Black almost being passed on to another actor for New

The first time I saw The Princess Bride, I was a kid, and though I watched it on VHS, it was — I’m dating myself here — still a fairly new movie at the time, as I recall. Obviously it was out long enough that it was available to rent, but it was also still

Celebrities are naturally attracted to other celebrities. They work together and run in the same circles, so it’s not strange that they would marry each other often.

While there have been a great number of Hollywood stars that never made it to 40, there are just as many, if not more, famous actors and entertainers that lived longer than 90 years. In fact, several eclipsed the century mark before crossing over into the great unknown. These titans of the movie industry, actors

Considering just how hard it is to make in show business, it’s remarkable how many celebrities have been good friends with other successful celebrities since before either was famous. Some going back to childhood. Here’s our list of celebrities that have been friends for longer than they’ve been famous.  (Image credit: ABC) Matt Damon and

Co-writer/director Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving took quite a while to become a reality. Debuting as a fake trailer with Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse double feature, Roth and his vision for a Turkey Day-themed slasher came from a personal place. Stretching all the way back to Roth’s childhood, and now emerging onto the 2023 movie

Due to the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike, we didn’t get to see many behind-the-scenes tidbits from the biggest blockbusters on the 2023 movie schedule, including Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer. However, now that the long, historic labor battle officially came to an end earlier this November, cinema fans are graciously getting some social-media goodies from movie casts, and

Rumors of a rivalry between former pals Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper have been swirling for weeks, and it’s not just because they are both frontrunners for this year’s Best Actor Oscar. Gossip had it that the lead of Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and the director-star of the Leonard Bernstein bio-pic Maestro let

Film critic Roger Ebert once said that, “No good movie is long enough and no bad movie is short enough.” Well we’re about to put that first half to the test, as we’ve got a list of films that pack a ton of quality into a running time of under 90 minutes. So if you

Nicolas Cage has made a lot of movies in his career, and in those films, he’s delivered some iconic lines. Perhaps none are quite so loved, if only ironically, as when he says “I’m going to steal the Declaration of Independence” in Disney’s National Treasure. It’s a great line, equal parts dramatic and hilarious. And

While I’ve seen Robert Pattinson grow from a brooding Edward Cullen in Twilight to a brooding Bruce Wayne in Batman (and hopefully in the upcoming The Batman: Part II), much of the Twilight cast is forever immortalized in my mind as early twenty-somethings playing high school students. Which is why it is so wild to

Love him or not, Chris Pratt has proved to be a rather consistent good luck charm for successful animated movies in his voice roles so far. That is between leading 2014’s The LEGO Movie and voicing Mario for 2023’s biggest animated movie of the year, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Next, Pratt will be behind

Not only is Rachel Zegler a real-life songbird (I mean have you heard her sing?), she also has a style that’s as distinct and fun as her character Lucy Gray. With her latest project, The Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, she shows off her musical talents in the movie, and during

I make pretty good money, but I’m not made of money. So, when I learned that Trolls Band Together (which we recently reviewed), and Disney’s Wish were coming out literally days apart, I knew I had to have a long, heartfelt talk with my kids, because I couldn’t afford to pay for both movies. That

In both the Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes as well as The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, there is a mutated bird that plays a pivotal role in each plot called a jabberjay. While these creatures may seem like a singular issue in both projects, they’re actually vital to both stories,

Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant have generally kept a low profile during the tenure of their romance, to the point where they’d allegedly been dating for two years before being seen on a red carpet for the first time in 2019. She spent time with the actor while John Wick- Chapter 4 was filming in

Since Training Day, Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua have proven to be a winning team. They scored another box office success with the threequel The Equalizer 3.

Aardman Animations is arguably one of the most prolific entertainment studios in the entire world. The group is widely known for producing beloved franchises like Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and much more.

If you were to pick the greatest music movies of all-time, I can’t imagine you’d get to many before Almost Famous. Cameron Crowe’s coming of age exploration of Rock ‘n Roll’s past is jam-packed with a non-stop cacophony of classic tracks, all placed with care to match the emotional impact the exceptional cast is delivering

For nearly two decades, fans of Eli Roth have been eagerly anticipating his latest horror movie venture, the holiday-centric slasher Thanksgiving. The excitement dates back to its playful tease as a fake trailer in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse. Now that the film is finally here, early critical reception for Roth’s latest has been

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship remains a topic of public discussion for more than a few reasons. One of them is simply the fact that the two seem to have a lot of fun together – despite what the memes of Affleck’s face (which he called out) would make you believe. On that note,

Music can sometimes make or break a scene in a movie, but there are some films that take that idea to the next level and feature soundtracks that take on a life of their own. Sometimes they are an amazing way to reflect on a feature’s best moments, and other times, they produce a very

WARNING: Major spoilers for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes are ahead! If you haven’t seen the highly anticipated book-to-screen adaptation, it’s playing in theaters right now.  As I walked out of The Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the only thing I could think about was: Did Coriolanus

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes goes back in time to follow the 10th annual Hunger Games where a very different District 12 tribute from Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen takes to the arena. Rachel Zegler’s Lucy Gray Baird is a natural performer who has a talent for singing. It’s safe to say she’s the “songbird”
