Can you imagine the emotional rollercoaster of being the child of a character actor like Josh Gad? Sometimes he’s an animated singing snowman named Olaf, another time he’s Gaston’s sidekick LeFou in Beauty

Interestingly, the first Fifty Shades of Grey film also some vibes similar to 365 Days. There are the obvious power dynamics between the two main characters, Laura and Massimo in the new Netflix movie and Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey in the other popular franchise. Then there are the fairytale Beauty and the Beast comparisons,

According to one theater owner’s account to Variety, Universal executives asked to split ticket sales for The King of Staten Island with them, but it came off as an unfair demand considering the film would also be simultaneously available to rent at home too. In one anonymous independent theater owner’s words:

The Candyman – Candyman (1992) Candyman is huge for black actors in horror since we had our first real franchise character (outside of Blacula) with Tony Todd as the eponymous Candyman. Candyman was based off a Clive Barker short story called “The Forbidden” and was the son of a slave who is brought back to

The scene in question, where Dana Barrett, sees otherworldly creatures inside her refrigerator, isn’t particularly funny. It’s actually legitimately creepy and one of the scarier moments in all of Ghostbusters, which has quite a few moments like that, even though the rest of the movie is a comedy. However, it seems that Bill Murray thought

One is a very simple line, it’s only four words, but I like the way it came to be in the movie in that people liked it. I was finishing Death Becomes Her when I was writing Jurassic Park, and we had an ending that was really disastrous at first from one of these horrible

Of course, as far as Warner Bros choosing to go with Jason Todd being the dead sidekick rather than Dick Grayson, that likely had to do with the studio putting a Nightwing movie into development, as that’s the identity Dick takes on after retiring as Robin, thus requiring him to be alive. However, there hasn’t

Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic Gladiator was a massive hit when it arrived in theaters. The movie ultimately earned a whopping 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe. Gladiator remains apart of pop culture, with fans having waited decades for a possible sequel to finally arrive in theaters. Notes film producer

In addition to the crazy brief Robert Smigel cameo, and the aforementioned roles played by Pete Davidson, Ricky Velez, Lou Wilson, and Moises Arias, The King Of Staten Island boasts an amazing cast that includes Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Steve Buscemi, Bel Powley, Maude Apatow, Jimmy Tetro, Kevin Corrigan, and Pamela Adlon. The movie was

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (Netflix) The painful distance between Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his father, Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. (Sean Connery), is more metaphorical than the relationship between Roy McBride and his father, Clifford, in Ad Astra. Yet, it is equally relatable, especially when the famed archaeologist must track down his missing,

Anthony Mackie’s memory of being at the Lorraine hotel definitely strikes a nerve, and his sobering thought of how society is still dealing with the same problems today is especially poignant. There’s still plenty of work to be done, but we can, at least, find a bit of solace in the fact that some progress

Natalie Portman Returned To Marvel Thanks To Taika Waititi While Natalie Portman’s relationship with Marvel was seemingly fraught with difficulties, it came as a delightful surprise to many MCU fans to learn that she would return to play Jane Foster in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. The third Thor sequel will not only feature

Ok, it may not be that bad, but there are certainly a variety of opinions on the topic. There are always going to be those that are against changes at Disneyland, who like things just as they are. However, in this case, there are also those who believe that while the motives of changing Splash

Details are still scant as to what the film will look like. We know the film stars Elena Kampouris, Kate Moyer, Callan Mulvey and Bruce Spence and that rather than being a pure adaptation, it will be a prequel of sorts, centering on the events leading up to the original Children of the Corn story.

Originally slated to come out in February 2019, Beauty and the Beast director Bill Condon was tapped to helm Bride of Frankenstein, with Angelina Jolie being lined up for the eponymous role and Javier Bardem playing Frankenstein’s monster. Things got far enough along in the creative process that sets started being constructed, but by October

What exactly “everything” entails is a strange and satirical journey that goes into some interesting places. So while you might expect a reunion of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to be a totally hysterical, care-free affair, that’s not exactly what’s going to be present in Memoirs and Misinformation. So what can one expect, if not

Just like Universal’s other classic movie monsters, such as Frankenstein, Dracula, The Creature from the Black Lagoon or The Mummy, The Wolfman has been subject to resting within these cartoon-y archetypes. I’m not going to say campy horror is dead, but the place where the genre has currently found the most success and acclaim is

The Harry Potter franchise has entertained the public for decades, with the Wizarding World expanding through books, movies, theme parks, and even a Broadway play. This magical property comes from the mind of author J.K. Rowling, who became a household name when the Harry Potter novels became a sensation. The author is at the center

Reese Witherspoon has worked closely with adapting the written work of female novelists such as Liane Moriarty on multiple occasions, including with the upcoming project Truly Madly Guilty. She has been producing since 2003 with Legally Blonde 2, and notably scored herself and Laura Dern Oscar nominations for their work in 2014’s Wild, which she

Once Disneyland and Disneyland California Adventure open next month, it won’t be its business as usual crowd-wise. The company is adopting a number of ”enhanced health and safety measures” for employees and guests, and capacity will be limited. Full details about Disney’s plans for the theme parks have not yet been disclosed, but all guests

Unfortunately, the larger scale would likely be the biggest hurdle to a change like this actually happening. Retheming Splash Mountain, especially at three parks around the world, would be an expensive proposition, and Disney has been hemorrhaging money due to the closure of the parks. At this point, it’s unclear if or when we’ll see

The 1993 Halloween-set family film was initially a flop for Disney, but it could have had something to do with its July release date during Jurassic Park’s reign in theaters. In recent years, Hocus Pocus has become a huge hit on home video and during Freeform’s “31 Nights of Halloween” television event.

6. The One I Love (2014) Partnered with executive producer Mark Duplass, Elisabeth Moss provides one of her most dynamic, challenging performances in 2014’s The One I Love, Charlie McDowell’s assured feature directorial debut. In this inventive domestic thriller-drama, Moss plays Sophie, a frustrated woman inside a discontent marriage with Ethan (Duplass), with whom she

David Thewlis, who is best known for playing the role of Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter films tells Collider that he was nervous about working for James Cameron, but his real difficulty came with the uniqueness of the production process of the Avatar films. He apparently felt a bit out of his element, likely

Tenet: it’s a word that’ll open the right doors, and some of the wrong ones. But major theater chains, Warner Bros and writer/director Christopher Nolan are seriously hoping it’ll open one more set of doors, those to a theater near you, before it’s set to release on July 17t. While that’s not a definite prospect,

Both Get Out And Us Feature Hidden Cameos By Jordan Peele Speaking of having an onscreen presence, despite his primary role as producer, writer, and director of Get Out and his doubly chilling 2019 follow-up Us, Jordan Peele does have an acting role in both films, but chose to keep them discreet, Hitchcock-style. In addition

Well, that’s one way to make friends. They say misery loves company, and it looks like the strain of Portland’s cold, wet climate was something that bonded Anna Kendrick to her Twilight co-stars. And that bond would prove important, considering there was another 3 sequels to film over the next few years.

There are plenty of other movies that explore race and social justice (and this article is just focusing on the African American experience. There are other films that highlight the Asian, Latinx and Native American communities, among others), but in this crucial moment, we thought it important to spotlight the talents of African American creatives.

If you recall, in the DCEU timeline, Suicide Squad takes place after Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Joker kills Robin, aka Jason Todd and, in return, Batman bashes Joker’s teeth in before sending him to Arkham where he meets Harley Quinn. Well, in the opening scene

Danny Hicks is dying of cancer. His prognosis says he will have somewhere between one and three years to live, but his outlook on his life, where it took him and where it is going says a lot. In a recent Facebook post the actor was direct as he shared the news with fans, noting,
