Halle Berry recently spoke about the importance of seeing Black women on the big and small screens growing up in the PBS documentary American Masters: How It Feels To Be Free. The doc highlights the careers of six Black women entertainers and how their stardom intersected with social justice causes. How It Feels To Be

Under the pandemic, where two-thirds of U.S. theaters are still closed, big movies have struggled to make any money. After a month in theaters, Wonder Woman 1984 has only made $142.5 million, with only $35 million coming from the domestic market. By comparison, 2017’s Wonder Woman made $822 million globally, with about half of its

Each Harry Potter alum has their own relationship with the franchise, especially as the years allow for some separation from the Wizarding World. Matthew Lewis isn’t the only actor to shy away from re-watching the movies, although his reasoning is certainly unique. Being an actor requires performers to immerse themselves and become someone else, while

Serving as a direct sequel to the original two Ghostbusters movies (unlike 2016’s Ghostbusters, which was a full-on reboot), Ghostbusters: Afterlife sees a single mother and her two children moving to a farm in Summerville, Oklahoma, and in the midst of some unexplained earthquakes, the kids uncover their family’s connection to the original Ghostbusters. Its

On behalf of CinemaBlend, and in celebration of the release of The Christmas Chronicles 2, I was given the honor to speak with not only with Visual Effects Supervisor Martin Hill, but also with the actor who played the mischievous villain Belsnickel, Julian Dennison. Through our conversation, I learned a lot about several aspects to

Since last spring, a number of highly anticipated movies were delayed in hopes of making box office numbers once audiences return to theaters. This includes David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills, which was meant to arrive in theaters last October, but was pushed back a full year. That hasn’t stopped anticipation for the sequel from building,

The 41-year-old actress and comedian has been saying “She Ready” for as long as we can remember and quickly made the catchphrase and instant association we have with her. One of her comedy specials, which aired on Showtime in 2017, was titled Tiffany Haddish: She Ready! From the Hood to Hollywood. Haddish has also used

For those who can’t afford Broadway, the film version of Hamilton was released on Disney+ in July 2020. It was a huge hit, bringing some musical light to an otherwise sad time in everyone’s life. While we have been seeing delays galore since COVID, Hamilton was actually pushed up a full year due to the

The Star Wars sequel trilogy, while it was a massive hit at the box office, has become one of the most divisive topics in entertainment. While most would probably agree that parts of it were good, most would probably also agree that parts of it were not, but it seems nobody can agree on which

Ok, hear me out: this could be a really fun direction for Liam Neeson to go in next. The actor has been playing different versions of this hardened hero archetype for eons, so I would not mind seeing him go in a comedic direction with it after he’s all tired out from all the serious

However, given Mia Khalifa is a former porn star, the lack of R-rated content may be surprising to some who haven’t kept tabs on the star in recent years, though if the donations are any indication, Mia Khalifa seems to be doing pretty well without getting naked like she used to during her brief porn

Netflix’s TV Highlights For February 2021 With a revival of the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly in the works for a debut at some point this year, it might be a good time to revisit the early days of Miranda Cosgrove’s iconic teen comedy. While the new series’ home at Paramount+ isn’t up and running yet, you’ll

An Education – IMDb TV Fittingly enough, the film that represents Carey Mulligan’s lone Oscar nomination to date (something Promising Young Woman may change) is available to enjoy, as 2009’s An Education can be watched for free (with ads) on IMDb TV. Directed by Lone Scherfig, An Education sees Mulligan star as Jenny Mellor, a

Violet McGraw (Doctor Sleep) As Charlie McGee Of all the picks for this list, finding the right actor to play Charlie McGee presented far and away the greatest challenge. After all, Charlie is only supposed to be eight years old, and so I really only could choose from the most recent Stephen King adaptations. The

This is an interesting fact, of course, because Keanu Reeves’ character in the films, along with that of his co-star Carrie-Anne Moss, were dead at the end of the movies, and yet they’ll both be back for The Matrix 4. Gina Torres, however, who played the role of Cas in the two sequels, survived the

We don’t actually know his character’s name because Matt Damon was uncredited in the 2017 movie, but evidently he is one of the great Asgardian thespians. He only had one scene in Thor: Ragnarok, which featured him playing Loki in a staged performance of the events of Thor: The Dark World , including the God

With the world living in quarantine, there have been plenty of Netflix releases that have taken over and offered some form of entertainment. One of which that recently came out last summer was The Kissing Booth 2, a sequel to the mega-hit that Netflix premiered the year prior, The Kissing Booth. The movie, starring Joey

If there was any doubt whether Potterheads are still a formidable presence on the internet, the response to Rupert Grint’s first social media post easily put it to rest. In just four hours and one minute, he racked up a million Instagram followers, beating out Jennifer Aniston’s previous record. He now has more than four

Jones spoke about how “naturalistic” it was to film Rogue One, which clearly took some opportunities for practical effects and shots to match the ingenuity the classic Star Wars films displayed back before it was all about CGI. Rogue One most certainly had a load of visual effects, but they were done so impressively that

What Happened And How Promising Young Woman Ended Promising Young Woman follows Cassie, played by Carey Mulligan, as she baits predatory men into taking advantage of her in a seemingly intoxicated condition at local bars and nightclubs. Cassie then turns the tables at the last minute and confronts those men about their actions, before they

Oftentimes when a casting rumor comes to light, the actor in question is asked by the press about if they are indeed starring in the project. Sometimes the actor is able to confirm they’re in said project right away, other times they can simply debunk the rumor, and fairly frequently you’ll see instances where they

Not too many directors have the career that two-time Oscar nominee David Fincher has had. His transition from doing music videos to feature film was seamless. One of his most notable films is the polarizing Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt. Upon its release, the film elicited varying responses, including one from fellow director Paul Thomas

Another instance of the universe working in their favor is the process of actually selling the diamond, given Paxton’s old criminal contact and the fact that Paxton once saved his life. That being said, this is still the least secure aspect of the endeavor given that it means telling a third person about the heist,

For Kevin Feige, though, that moment (and the footage) means something else. To him, it’s a reminder of the communal experience of enjoying a movie together, like so many of us did for Avengers: Endgame, but haven’t in a long while thanks to the theaters being shutdown. Feige told CinemaBlend:

One of the most iconic acts in the history of show business, as well as that of the Las Vegas entertainment scene, has to be the animal antics of Siegfried and Roy. The pair spent decades wowing the world with their illusions involving big cats, larger than life spectacle, and dazzling visuals that keep them

Liam Hemsworth is best known for his work on the four Hunger Games movies as Gale Hawthorne, Katniss’s childhood friend who gets entangled in an emerging rebellion that Katniss unknowingly helps spark. After wrapping the film series, he has gone on to star in Independence Day: Resurgence, The Duel with Woody Harrelson, and the Rebel

Giant-Man tossing Hulk would be enough to wreak havoc on the battlefield, but at the speed that Hulk would then toss Spider-Man, Peter Parker might as well be a bullet. Alas, this take on the Fastball Special just didn’t make the final cut of Avengers: Endgame. Since all three of these heroes are still running

Moondragon I do have another idea for a Guardians of the Galaxy-related character whom Alicia SIlverstone might be a good fit for: Moondragon, who was taught the ways of the Titan before later joining cosmic heroes. However, incorporating this bald, telekinetic badass would, once again, require a few creative liberties considering how, in the MCU
