But seriously, there’s no better movie in the franchise than Christmas Vacation. It has the best Cousin Eddie moments (“Shitter’s full,” “You serious Clark?”), as well as the “hap, hap, happiest Christmas” meltdown you’ll see anywhere. My wife and I make it a tradition each year to watch Christmas Vacation before anything else after we

Originally scheduled for release on October 2, the thriller has now been pushed all the way back to February 26, 2021, according to Variety. It’s reasonable to assume that MGM has done this to avoid major competition during Without Remorse’s opening weekend — Wonder Woman 1984 has been moved to its original release date, October

Air Force One’s Hero From the very beginning of Air Force One, United States President James Marshall is portrayed as take-no-nonsense and heroic world leader, especially after the rousing speech in the film’s opening minutes. And Marshall doesn’t really back down from there, even when he’s placed in an escape pod. The chunk of the

Ana Lily Amirpour One of the most intriguing breakout voices in horror within the past decade was Ana Lily Amirpour, who helmed the Iranian vampire western (yes, you heard that right) A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, which was a film festival hit. The film led to Amirpour’s current career directing for Jordan Peele’s

The Jaws sequels didn’t seem to want to be an improvement or a continuation; they just wanted to throw more cheap thrills at the audience. They wanted to be Jaws again. Jaws is just too hard to top and improve on, though. So with too much to live up to, they grabbed at low-hanging fruit

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns Didn’t Rely On Nepotism To Get A Role In The Movie When WWE Superstar Roman Reigns, real name Joe Anoa’i, first showed up in the trailer for Hobbs & Shaw, it looked like it had something to do with the former WWE Champion calling on his cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

The plot of b certainly sounds reminiscent of Ex Machina, since the 2014 movie, albeit made on a much smaller budget of $15 million, followed the interactions between Alicia Vikander’s A.I. character Ava and Domnhall Gleeson’s Caleb as he forms a bond with her and tries to help her escape against the will of her

Naturally, Jurassic World: Dominion will also be bringing back the Jurassic World regulars, like Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. But just to keep the party growing, there’ve also been reports that Jake Johnson and Omar Sy, both of whom appeared in the first Jurassic World, will be returning to play their characters in the

But in addition to speaking out against the injustices of the world, Ava DuVernay has become somewhat of a trailblazer in the world of filmmaking with the 2018 release of A Wrinkle in Time, her contributions to film academies, and even her work in comic book movies. And with several of DuVernay’s projects being more

Robert Pattinson is gearing up for a heck of a year as a movie star, not only with the release of Tenet, but when he suits back up for The Batman soon in London. The production featuring Zoe Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright and Colin Farrell is getting ready to resume ahead of

By that time, World War I had concluded, and Arthur Conan Doyle lost both his brother and eldest son in the conflict. So when he returned to write those final Sherlock Holmes stories, he infused both the detective and his partner, Dr. John Watson, with new “significant new character traits.” Of particular note, as laid

I am willing to bet that most people who have watched this movie forget that a police car fell from the airship, but not my son. As soon as the car fell he started asking about it with questions like, “Why is the police car in the water?” for quite some time. That night, he

And it makes total sense why they would want to get Chicken Run 2 into high gear, considering the film made $224.8 million on a $45 million budget. But with such a long gap between movies, perhaps the studio feared it might not have the same success in theater and decided to opt for Netflix,

The First Letter Of Each Inception Character’s Names Combines Into An Intriguing Acronym Needless to say, Inception is one deep film (literally and figuratively), with clever, multilayered design in almost detail, right down to even the names of the central characters. While each character’s name does possess a certain symbolic meaning, such as the architect

Thunderball (1965) Several times in the history of the James Bond franchise, the cold open entails someone’s death or funeral; with Bond being “killed” several times himself. Thunderball uses a funeral for one Col. Jacques Bouvar as the grist for its adventure mill, as Bond attends the proceedings to bury this particular foe in this

So for now, Deadpool super fans will have to turn to a decapitated talking head toy for their daily Deadpool fix. I mean, if you can push past hearing a voice that isn’t Ryan Reynold’s voice, deal with the uncanny nature of having a decapitated head sarcastically talking to you and maybe risk losing a

While there is nothing quite like the experience of seeing a live hit Broadway play with its original cast, there is an obvious hiccup with it as a form of popular entertainment: not everybody in the world can experience it. Not only can it be expensive to travel to New York, but tickets can be

Oh, yeah! Cypher Raige in After Earth, Deadshot in Suicide Squad, Henry Brogan AND Junior in the recent Gemini Man, and even James West in Wild, Wild West, which is steampunk, a sub-genre of Science Fiction. I’m sorry, but when you’re starring in sub-genres of science fiction, you’ve made it, man. You’ve made it.

Like, what’s the point of the avalanche? Couldn’t xXx just destroy the tower without all the theatrics and damage caused by one of the most powerful forces of nature on the planet? And how is he able to outrun the wall of snow, ice, and rock while everyone on snowmobiles gets consumed by it? I

During his chat with THR, he made a good point when noting the difference in what the superhero genre looks like now and what it looked like back in the early 2000s. During that time, superhero movies weren’t as plentiful and were fairly straightforward in terms of storytelling. Today, Hollywood is experiencing a surplus of

Purple Man (Kim Coates) David Tennant gave one of the best performances of his career with his portrayal of Kilgrave, also known as Purple Man, on the Netflix series Jessica Jones, but if he isn’t able to return if the character is brought into a future Marvel film, then Kim Coates would be an ideal

The Bride has long been an iconic movie monster and, like Frankenstein, her story has always been a tragic one. But she’s largely been relegated to a supporting role. That doesn’t mean her story won’t resonate with audiences today. It seems reasonable to expect that the new Bride of Frankenstein, like The Invisible Man, will

Oh, how Spider-Man has changed! The character has obviously faced a major evolution since the first live-action version graced the screen, with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland having taken on the mantle in the years after. The first version didn’t delve into Peter Parker’s abilities to craft his own web shooters like later versions did.

Pantha Another character who also has fought with the Titans, Doom Patrol, and even the Justice League is Rosabelle Mendez, the only heroic person in the DC Multiverse who truly lives up to the Pantha alias, having been mutated into a cat-like humanoid by the Wildebeest Society. She would later cross over into the dark

Along with the previously mentioned actors, Tenet’s cast includes Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Dimple Kapadia, Clémence Poésy, Himesh Patel, Denzil Smith, Martin Donovan and Sean Avery. The movie reportedly cost upwards of $200 million to make, which, if true, makes this Christopher Nolan’s most expensive original project (The Dark Knight Rises would still

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) Robert Rodriguez directed From Dusk Till Dawn, and Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay. Tarantino also co-stars in it with George Clooney. The cast also includes Juliette Lewis, Harvey Keitel, Cheech Marin, and Salma Hayek. From Dusk Till Dawn follows bank robbing brothers Seth and Richie Gecko. One heist leads to

Not all of the details surrounding safety and protocols have been released, but thanks to an interview AMC’s CEO Adam Aron gave to Variety, we know some of the specifics. The chain will require employees to wear masks, but it will only “strongly encourage” it from customers, except in locations in which mask wearing is

As for what we can expect from Tenet, the movie follows a secret agent who’s been tasked with stopping World War III, and a strange phenomena called time inversion factoring heavily into his mission. The main cast includes John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, Dimple Kapadia and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Black Orchid A lesser-known character who would be an intriguing addition to the DCEU is Black Orchid, a woman who possesses many of the more common superhero abilities of flight, invulnerability, and super strength, but her most important, and unique, talent is disguise. The Black Orchid is an alias that has been passed down from
