We all have holes in our pop culture awareness. As a film critic, I generally feel that I have a professional responsibility to fill my personal holes… but there are only so many hours in a day, and there are new movies that premiere every single week. This is my baseline excuse for why I

The MUBI production, Bring Them Down, starring Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott, is hitting theaters on Feb. 7, 2025. Pic directed by Christopher Andrews, who is making his feature directing debut, follows Michael (Abbott) who is the last son of a farming family, and lives an isolated existence with his ailing, cantankerous father Ray.

Unless we see a miracle akin to jumping a 1970 Dodge Charger off of an exploding dam and surviving to share the story, the upcoming 2025 movies won’t include Fast X Part 2. That’s, of course, not the final name for the picture, as everything we know about Fast and Furious 11 still paints this

Sunset Blvd. had its best box office numbers yet last week, while Maybe Happy Ending showed some welcome improvement and both Elf and A Wonderful World opened to houses with 90% of seats filled.

Alexandra Daddario has been busy this year–from her pregnancy and preparing for her son’s Halloween arrival to appearing in a few movies on our 2024 movie schedule, it seems like one for the books.

We’re somehow just three years away from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery turning the ripe and randy age of 30, which seems fortuitous, considering Mike Myers’ titular lothario first emerged in 1997 after being held in cryogenic stasis for a 30-year stretch. So is it possible that after all these years, the fan-favorite super-cool

The Substance, the Cannes Film Festival winning, Demi Moore body swap horror movie, is poised to bust to great heights at the global box office with a $70M-$75M take.

In the 2010s, Robert Pattinson was known for starring in the Twilight movies while Jennifer Lawrence earned massive fame for being in the Hunger Games films.

Spoiler Warning: There are a ton of My Old Ass spoilers below. If you’ve yet to watch the Amazon Original, please back on up. My Old Ass, which became one of the best movies on Amazon with an incredible 90% Rotten Tomatoes score in November 2024, is one of the best experiences I’ve had from

2023’s Anyone But You was a surprise rom-com hit in an era when rom-coms aren’t exactly at their most popular. The movie did big box office despite a pretty terrible response from critics.

Almost every Mel Brooks movie is hilarious, but the comedian’s greatest work is probably his Star Wars parody, Spaceballs. Unfortunately, despite a joke in the movie about a sequel, the biggest way the 1987 film would end up different from Star Wars is that no sequel would come in the short term. But Josh Gad

When it comes to the box office battle between Universal’s Wicked, in which Jeff Goldblum plays the Wizard, and Paramount’s Gladiator II, it will not be a survival of the fittest.

Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest movie stars in the world. He’s a celebrity known by most of the planet. While he is a big star, Johnson publicly comes across as a pretty down-to-earth guy, but a story a few months ago alleged that working with Johnson on set was no picnic for the

Creditor Fortress was the only bidder for a handful of properties owned by Charles Cohen at a foreclosure auction Friday that saw the lender offer $5 million for U.K.’s arthouse theater chain and distributor Curzon.
