Cameron Diaz Confirmed Her Retirement From Acting In 2018 Following the release of Annie in 2014, Cameron Diaz, who appeared in at least one movie every year up to that point, seemingly disappeared from the acting world leaving many to speculate if she would ever make another movie. In March 2018, while sitting down for

I remember when the stunt coordinator came to me, looked me in the eye, and said, ‘Olga, we’re very serious. Hold on, ok? No matter what, just hold on for your life, because the shock is going to be very strong, and you might get thrown into the water. So no matter what you do,

Justice League was clearly a passion project for Zack Snyder, especially since it was set to close out a trilogy of sorts that began in Man of Steel and continued into Batman v. Superman. Following his untimely departure from the project and the subsequent release of Joss Whedon’s theatrical cut, he continued to speak on

Initially insulted by this, she adds that it “put a real fire under [her] ass” that inspired her to “make a point to outdrive all of those guys,” which paid off beautifully by her recollection. Charlize Theron said she “vividly” remembers when Mark Wahlberg was forced to pull his car over to vomit after a

Monica Rambeau Yes, Monica Rambeau did indeed make her live action debut, as played by 11-year-old Akira Akbar, in Captain Marvel, but what we did not see was her debut as one of her many superhero aliases, among them one she has shared with her “Aunt Carol.” Based on reports that she will appear in

And that’s because all the movies on this list are PG-13 and practically bloodless. What makes them scary then? Well, a number of things really, be it tone, atmosphere, storylines, you name it. But while I know a popular horror convention these days is jump scares, I’ve tried to steer away from movies that only

3. Nelson Mandela – Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Playing historical figures is usually a thankless job (unless you count the Academy, of course), since your performance is often measured on what people think a person was like in real life. In other words, do you kind of sound like the historical figure? Do you

For those who might not know, Warlock is an alien being made up of mechanical organisms. His alien race survives by taking over, or “infecting,” living things, and then consuming them. But Warlock, individually, is blessed with a great deal of compassion, and he doesn’t want to consume others. He holds off, and that makes

During a recent X-Men reunion chat that featured Jackman chatting with the likes of Patrick Stewart, Sophie Turner and Halle Berry, Reynolds popped in hoping to join in on the nostalgia. However, the rest of the X-Men alums weren’t too keen on sticking around once he joined in. And as fate would have it, all

In just a few short years, we’ll be hitting the 30th anniversary of the “Death of Superman” storyline, which saw the Man of Steel meeting his demise in battle against Doomsday. Of course, as is often the case in superhero comics, the death didn’t stick, and when Superman did return to the land of the

If you haven’t seen The Italian Job, Charlize Theron starred as Stella Bridger, the daughter of Donald Sutherland’s John Bridger, who was a skilled safe cracker like her father. Theron’s other cast-mates included the aforementioned Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Jason Statham, Seth Green and Mos Def, among others. The Italian Job was a critical and

With COVID-19 cases are on the rise in many places, Hollywood is still largely shut down, and so we probably won’t see other celebrity names added to the list of those dealing with the virus, unless there are others, like Mel Gibson, who have dealt with it previously who were able to keep things quiet.

Early on in the production of director Colin Trevorrow’s return to the Jurassic World franchise, next summer’s Jurassic World: Dominion, production had to shut down when global events demanded the world be put on hold. Sometimes, when that sort of scenario crops up, it’s a living nightmare, and in the worst case scenario, your movie

Considering that The Rise of Skywalker only came out last December, and that upcoming Star Wars movies aren’t expected to tie into the Skywalker Saga, it’s hardly shocking that Finn, let alone Daisy Ridley’s Rey or Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron, won’t be returning to the big screen anytime soon. Sure, we might see these characters

Somehow, it’s still quite easy to recognize The Sixth Sense actor. His childhood performances in not only the 1999 thriller, but Pay It Forward, Forrest Gump and A.I. are incredibly memorable, and his eyes are a dead giveaway (no pun intended). Haley Joel Osment said he even found himself signing up for a lot of

Love & Basketball (2000) Sure, we didn’t have a Waiting to Exhale in the 2000s, but we did have the romantic sports drama Love & Basketball, so at least that’s something. Starring Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan, and helmed by The Old Guard director, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Love & Basketball is about two basketball players (Epps

One of the most intriguing Batman figures that appear in this image are Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Thomas Wayne. In the Flashpoint comics, Barry Allen finds an alternate universe where Thomas and Martha Wayne never died, and it was actually a young Bruce that was shot and killed. In their grief Thomas becomes Batman, while Martha

What’s most fun about the book is that it ultimately has two purposes, and it works very well at both. As an actual travel book, it’s completely functional. .If you’re planning a Disney vacation in the coming months, you could do worse than to pick up Traveler’s Guide to Batuu. It will tell you about

All Of Her Original Films Take Personal Elements From Her Life As the saying goes, “write what you know,” and like many great filmmakers, Stella Meghie follows that rule when writing original film material. Jean of the Joneses utilized parts of Meghie’s family life, and the film was even named after one of her aunts–information

It’s a Small World Bring it on, haters. “It’s a Small World” is the song that everybody loves to hate on, but have you ever actually stopped to actually listen to the words? “It’s a Small World” is a mantra, an anthem. It’s a song about global togetherness, that while we can celebrate that which

With the Harry Potter movies exiting HBO Max before August concludes, that’ll leave Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as the only Wizarding World tale that one can watch on this particular service. While Disney previously held the broadcast rights to the Harry Potter movies (hence all those marathons you’d catch on then-ABC Family/now-Freeform), in

I have never gone through the experience of losing a child, and so I hopefully never understand the pain, grief, or guilt clearly visible in Clive Owen’s portrayal of Theo, but having children of my own I now empathize with the broken shell of a man. In late 2019, my daughter broke her leg at

Counterpoint – Yeah, The Last Airbender is a pretty ugly movie, and the bending—especially the earthbending—is particularly underwhelming. In fact, in his review of the film, Roger Ebert went off on the visuals, calling them “atrocious.” But everybody blames M. Night Shyamalan for this, when in actuality, how is this even his fault? M. Night

How Did Quynh Escape Her Underwater Damnation? In the movie’s most haunting sequence, we discover in a flashback that Andy (Charlize Theron) once had a great immortal love with Quynh (Veronica Ngo) that dated back hundreds of years. It was built on weathering a series of witch trials, which they don’t truly fear based on

After the ritual, Christian runs out of it naked and feeling disoriented. He stumbles onto the dismembered body of one of Pelle’s attendees at the festival before being knocked out by a member of Harga.

Another win for The Old Guard is that it has also become the first movie to make its way into Netflix’s all-time greats that is helmed by a black female director. Gina Prince-Bythewood has already made history with her involvement in the project, as she’s become the first black woman to serve as director for
