The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever changing place, especially as the studio plans the next two phases of filmmaking. There are a ton of very exciting projects coming down the pipeline, including Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This will be Benedict Cumberbatch’s second solo movie, and will see Stephen Strange work with

Fantasia 2000 Although a critical success, Walt Disney’s original [Fantasia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia(1940film) was a box office flop when it was released in 1940. This killed Walt’s idea of releasing the movie every few years with new animated sequences replacing older ones with each release. However, in the decades since, Fantasia became one of the studios most beloved

Today, Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest action stars the world has ever seen. Of course, you don’t get there without following in the footsteps of those that came before. Johnson was born in the early 1970s, which means he was probably watching a lot of movies in the 1980s. As such, he admits

As she detailed, Tom Hanks had milder symptoms. Her temperature soared to 109 degrees Fahrenheit and she lost her sense of taste. Hanks’ temperature wasn’t nearly as high and he still had taste. Following their recovery, the pair has decided to donate some of their blood to a study that is trying to make a

Due to the Harry Potter books and movies centering on Harry, Ron and Hermoine being in Gryffindor, and villainous characters such as Draco and Voldemort being sorted in Slytherin, there’s a huge bias that has fans thinking Gryffindor is for the “good” and Slytherin is for the “bad.” It’s an understandable characterization for casual fans

With everything that Walt Disney Studios had planned for 2020, it’s unclear just how much people were waiting for Disney’s Jungle Cruise movie compared to everything else. If, however, you happened to be a huge fan of both Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, you spend a large portion of your time wishing you were at

Dune is one of those books that some would argue simply doesn’t make the transition from page to screen well. It’s been tried before, and, while previous adaptations have their fans, they’ve largely been felt lacking. The scope of Frank Herbert’s novel is so large, the depth of it so great, that it certainly seems

Stanley Tucci’s marriage to Felicity Blunt, who works as a literary agent, is actually his second, having met her two years after his previous wife of 14 years, social worker Kate Tucci (whom he had three children with), succumbed to breast cancer in 2009.

In Ragnarok, he would finally gain the Asgardian throne he craved for so long but would lose his father, homeworld and eye in the process. The losses would only continue in Infinity War, as he would lose half of his people and the battle against Thanos, which would lead him to lose his will to

In terms of box office success, Alexandra Daddario is right. San Andreas made $115 million in the United States, and nearly $474 million worldwide. Following its success, there were rumors of a sequel, but nothing concrete has surfaced since. The closest we’ve gotten to a hint that San Andreas 2 could happen was back in

Dad’s iPhone Inside Out mostly takes place in the San Francisco bay area, which is a great spot for the film as it’s where Pixar is located. Riley’s dad is working for some sort of ambiguous tech startup, prompting the move for the family. Inside Out is one of the few Pixar films that takes

This story, which Rudhraksh Jaiswal shared with Koimoi, illustrates just how protective Marvel’s stars are of their projects. It may seem a bit much that Chris Hemsworth lied to his him about the film but, at least, Jaiswal was later able to walk out of the film knowing that nothing had truly been spoiled for

Trolls World Tour is brimming with original music from Justin Timberlake and a ton of other artists, including Anderson Paak, Haim, Ozzy Osbourne and the film’s music producer, Ludwig Göransson, who is responsible for The Mandalorian’s incredible theme music and the Black Panther score.

Why Uncorked’s Final Form Works Better Pushing aside the usual Hollywood ending, where Elijah would have aced his master sommelier exam and gotten his dream gig, Prentice Penny gives his Uncorked audience an even better ending in return. Instead, Elijah learns a very real and grounded lesson, while continuing to work towards becoming the man

Dieter Laser’s passing was only recently announced in trade publications like THR, but the actor had actually passed on February 29th, according to his wife, Inge. Raised in a strict Christian household, Laser became an actor at an early age, and was so devout in his upbringing that he’d felt as if he’d sold his

Gone Baby Gone – STARZ What It’s About: Ben Affleck’s directorial debut is 2007’s Gone Baby Gone starring his brother Casey Affleck along with Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris and Amy Ryan. The movie takes place in Boston (because of course) and centers on two detectives investigating the disappearance of a child. It goes on an

The Five Venoms (1978) Another Shaw Brothers masterpiece, The Five Venoms (also known as Five Deadly Venoms) is about the last student of a moribund master who is sent out on a mission to track down the master’s five best students, who all have a distinct style of martial arts. There’s the centipede, snake, toad,

Most days, Netflix feels like a bottomless pit of movies, television shows and documentaries – sometimes so much so that more scrolling goes on than viewing. Everyone ventures into their section of the streaming platform, but a lot of subscribers are tuning into the new original comedy Coffee & Kareem, even if the general consensus

It’s one thing for an actor to properly prepare for acting in regular scenes, but for a highly technical scene like Sonic the Hedgehog’s bar fight, I can’t blame James Marsden for feeling baffled. In cases like these, it’s best for the actor to just let the director and the other experienced behind-the-camera people guide

Why Hustlers Fans Will Like It: Hustlers takes place during the 2007-2008 financial crisis, which is the catalyst for Destiny, Ramona, and others to start committing crimes to make enough money to survive. The Big Short does a great job of explaining the financial crisis to those completely unaware. The film helps contextualize the situation

In Coming 2 America, Eddie Murphy’s Prince Akeem will return to America to find his long-lost son LaVelle, who is reported to be played by Sorry To Bother You’s Jermaine Fowler.

The situation changed in 2012, when Disney acquired Lucasfilm and its properties. Indiana Jones was one such asset, and the House of Mouse didn’t exactly rush to get the franchise back in theaters. Years went by until 2015, when Disney announced plans for the fifth movie with a release date of July 19th, 2019. Steven

If Marvel were to bring Doctor Doom in for Black Panther 2 then it would be the perfect opportunity to usher in the era of the Fantastic Four and give the characters a decent film adaptation for a change. The team of superheroes wouldn’t have to show up in the middle of the movie, in

However, did you ever notice that there are few things about Grease that just don’t “go together?” Musicals have been historically dependent on suspension of disbelief, of course, so I can get past fantastically elaborate dance numbers, flying cars, and even Rydell High being filled with 30-year-olds who were held back a few too many

Despite the fact that she must self-quarantine and practice social distancing like the rest of us, J.K. Rowling hasn’t been complacent. The author recently gifted teachers with the open license to post videos of themselves reading Harry Potter books to their students. Such videos, however, can only be posted through a secure school network or

The Twilight Zone (2019) If you were too heartless to not notice Kumail Nanjiani’s talent for dramatic acting in The Big Sick, maybe get yourself a free trial of a CBS All Access account and give him a second chance with this intriguing cautionary tale. In the premiere episode of Jordan Peele’s revival of the
