The Forty-Year-Old Version Another Netflix title you may have breezed right past, despite it being one of the most highly-praised movies of the year, is The Forty-Year-Old Version. The movie introduces Rahda Blank, a writer on Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, who tells her story with a completely realized vision through being the writer,

Ever since it was announced on May 20 that Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated version of Justice League would arrive on HBO Max in 2021, his most patient fans have been asking, “But when?” As we have inched closer to the fated year, there have been guesses. Clues. And now, without giving a hard and fast

Although $77 million is great given the circumstances, the last time a Croods movie hit theaters, it made $586 million worldwide. Years and years of work and detail goes into the making of these movies, and chances are The Croods really hasn’t made anyone any money yet. So enter Ryan Reynolds, descending from the Hollywood

You know, I haven’t [read a script]. I really, in terms of the Star Trek of it all, I wish I knew anything. I’m quite literally one of the last people ever to find out. So, I haven’t read that script, I don’t know where it is in development, I haven’t read the Noah Hawley

X-Men Origins: Wolverine hit theaters back in 2009, and served as a spinoff from the main continuity of the franchise. A number of new characters were introduced, including Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson who worked alongside Logan in the Weapon X program. The character ended up being the final villain, with an appearance and powers that

While I made passing mention of her supporting role in the Fast and Furious movies earlier, it should be acknowledged that it is a totally different ballgame when a star is playing the titular lead in a superhero blockbuster, and so her point of view here is understandable. While Gal Gadot isn’t in every single

It’s wild to realize George Clooney is nearing 60, with the milestone round number hitting his door in May 2021. Clooney has had an incredible life, but now he’s a real family man with wife Amal and his twins, three-year-old Alexander and Ella. The actor doesn’t make as many movies as he used to, but

As 2020 draws to a close, Aubrey Plaza has flourished in two very different movies. On Thanksgiving weekend, audiences got a chance to see the actress’s scene-stealing performance in Hulu’s LGBTQ+ family rom-com, Happiest Season. And even more recently, Plaza received some of her finest reviews yet for her versatile dramatic character work in the

Considering how Cats’ feline characters turned out, it sounds like Patty Jenkins made the right decision incorporating practical effects alongside the CGI augmentation, rather than going all digital with Cheetah in Wonder Woman 1984. Again, only a few seconds of footage have been shown of Barbara Minerva in her full Cheetah form, so we can’t

Professionally speaking, the last several years have been good to actor Shia LaBeouf thanks to movies like Honey Boy, The Peanut Butter Falcon and The Tax Collector. His personal life, on the other hand, now finds itself plagued in a new round of controversy. Last week, LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend, singer FKA Twigs, filed a lawsuit against

The following contains minor (non-plot related) spoilers from the novels Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi*_,_ *Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark, and Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage as well as the comics Star Wars: The High Republic #1 and Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures

As things currently stand, Dune – which also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem, Zendaya, and Charlotte Rampling in addition to all of the names mentioned earlier – is slated to be released on both HBO Max and in theaters on October 1, 2021. If the situation changes, you can

Though we don’t know exactly how big a role he’ll play in the new series, only that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker’s reunion will be “the rematch of the century.” Still, it seems like a given that his daughter will soon have to learn that her dad is also Darth Vader. It may be a

Emily Blunt was alleviated by the lower pressure of simply singing the song on the stage after some seriously huge movie scenes on her shoulders. In our interview, she talked about how Mary Poppins and Into the Woods were helpful in terms of her easing some nerves she used to have about singing on film.

I imagine that many of those who had anticipated the December 4th premiere of Mank were especially excited to see the long-awaited return of David Fincher to feature-length filmmaking. I would also hope that most of the film’s biggest champions had seen Citizen Kane or at least had some knowledge of its place in cinematic

I don’t view her as a protagonist or antagonist, because I can’t. An actor doesn’t do that. It’s like, you’ve got to portray the character exactly who they are. Whether they’re a protagonist or an antagonist, that’s for the audience, that’s a judgement. I portrayed her as a woman who literally is born in a

The following October, Ray Fisher gave an interview where, among other things, he blamed Joss Whedon for cutting multiple characters played by actors of color from the final product, as well as accused the director of having the skin tone of a Justice League cast member altered. A source close to the production later told

Not that age would stop her anyway, and it doesn’t really matter, but for those, wondering Meryl Streep is 71 years old and beyond fabulous apparently. While Ariana DeBose, who played the Bullet in Hamilton and will be Anita in West Side Story, was on set, she sat in awe of Streep’s amazing stamina throughout

Will we ever see this elusive version of Cats. Even if it actually exists, it seems unlikely. But honestly without any new movies to watch in 2020, I’m not sure I can blame anybody for getting slightly obsessed over one that might exist, even if, let’s be serious here, nobody wants to watch that. James

You can get AMC+ as an add-on through a number of

Although the actors make it look effortless on screen in Wander Darkly, it was a tough process for them both to wrap their heads around. On top of the pair playing an established couple who had known each other for years, in our interview Diego Luna (who is currently working on his Star Wars Disney+

But no, the latest Chris Pratt karate-related news has nothing to do with Parks and Recreation. The Jurassic World star has instead signed on to lead and produce a comedy called The Black Belt. In the movie, Pratt will play an “unorthodox” uncle to a teen boy who is determined to become an expert in

In fact, as I was able to speak with several key players behind Safety’s journey to Disney+ during the film’s press day, a greater story started to emerge behind the film’s origins. And it all starts with producer Mark Ciardi, the man who helped bring those Disney sport pictures we mentioned above, as well as

1. Guardians of the Galaxy (Gamora) And here it is, Zoe Saldana’s best performance. It’s kind of weird that Gamora would even stand out in a movie with a talking raccoon and a sentient tree, but she does. Because Gamora is bad, man. I mean, really, really bad. She’s a stone cold killer! But she’s

While recently promoting his new movie Archenemy, Joe Manganiello informed Yahoo that the now-scrapped Ben Affleck-led The Batman would have have had a “strong David Fincher vibe,” with Affleck (who also would have directed) specifically being influenced by Fincher’s 1997 film The Game. The movie would have seen Deathstroke, whose real name is Slade Wilson,

2020 has been a year that has caused delays in many of our favorite movies, but it’s also been a rough year if you’re a fan of video games. Several major releases saw delays of their own, but a major title, Cyberpunk 2077, which includes a character voiced and designed to look like Keanu Reeves,

Be The Wolverine With These Stainless Steel X-Men Claws It is one thing to have the ultimate mutant education, but X-Men fan really wants to be the ultimate mutant: Wolverine (in terms of popularity), which you could help your loved one achieve with those plastic, retractable claws you would find next to the telescopic lightsabers

That being said, this could be a situation where the metaphorical genie can’t be put back in the bottle. We’ll just have to wait and see how Warner Bros’ movies do next year playing both in theaters and on HBO Max, but even once life settles down on the coronavirus front, it’s entirely possible that
