Gary Oldman is an incredible actor who has played a laundry list of equally incredible roles throughout his career. He’s been in great films, been nominated for Oscars and taken part of some major franchises. While his most high-profile role to date is likely that of Sirius Black in the Harry Potter cast, some kids

Is Whiplash Damien Chazelle’s best movie? You can make the argument. It’s already on our list of the best music movies ever made, thanks to its deft understanding of Jazz, and of the struggles to make it as a student-musician at a competitive New York conservatory. And it has an ending that we’re still talking

I had a strange angle during my Toronto International Film Festival screening of director Chris Sanders’ The Wild Robot. I don’t mean that I brought a particularly special perspective on the movie with me into the theater; I mean I literally had a strange angle viewing the screen. The world premiere of the new DreamWorks

The Broadway debut of Robert Downey Jr. got off to an excellent start last week, with McNeal selling out all four previews at Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont Theater and grossing a whopping $746,230.

A general rule of thumb to follow in everyday life is to say it, don’t spray it. No one wants spit flying into their face while having a simple conversation, and for the most part, we as a society are pretty good about making sure that other happens. Every now and then, though, someone does

Documentary ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! with Trey Parker and Matt Stone cleaned up on one screen only in Denver and Tamil-language revenge thriller The Greatest Of All Time is the latest Indian film to pop at the North American box office with over $2 million on 530 screens for the three-day weekend and a cume of

To some, James Earl Jones is best known as the voice of Darth Vader in six of the Star Wars movies in order, among other projects. Others might think more about his live-action roles, like when he played Terence Mann in Field of Dreams. Regardless, Jones was an icon in the film and TV industry,

Columbia Pictures’ Venom: The Last Dance is essentially going day-and-date in China on October 23. The pic hits domestic theaters on Oct. 25. The first Venom in 2018 received a China grossing close to $270M unadjusted for inflation; the first Tom Hardy movie repping just over a third of the Marvel movie’s $856M global gross. The post-Covid

I have mixed feelings on “the book was better” discourse when it comes to feature adaptations. On the one hand, it is obviously fair to compare a movie with its source material, but it’s never a totally fair comparison. Not only do films have restricted creative real estate to work with in the form of

Spoilers, obviously, are ahead for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. If you are looking to see the legacy sequel on the 2024 movie schedule, it’s in theaters now. There’s a lot of death in Beetlejuice, it’s kind of its thing. I get that. However, for the most part, the loss of loved ones isn’t downplayed. In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,

Mike Flanagan‘s track record adapting the works of Stephen King isn’t just impressive because the movies he has made are independently phenomenal works that reflect a perfect understanding of the source material; it’s also because of the titles that he chooses are exceptionally challenging to adapt. His first, Gerald’s Game, is a story set almost

The Alien franchise has long been hailed as a benchmark in the sci-fi genre and one of the best horror movies, with the original films cementing their place as all-time greats.

As she makes the rounds for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s 2024 movie schedule debut, Winona Ryder is looking towards the future. She’s also got a healthy eye on the past too, as a recent interview actually brought up the fact that Ryder frequently refers to her perennial co-star/dear friend Keanu Reeves as her husband. There’s a whole

EXCLUSIVE: The long-awaited sequel to the Tim Burton-directed, Michael Keaton starring movie has racked up some $12M in both Wednesday and Thursday night previews; a very good number.

Although 2023’s Oppenheimer, one of Christopher Nolan’s best movies, was a tense exploration into the life of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the creation of the atomic bomb, the back-and-forth that happened between stars Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. during the press tour was anything but serious. The two may

Close to 20 years after Pepsi dropped their “Roman Empire” TV spot featuring Britney Spears, Beyonce and Pink, they’ve got a new one, again, featuring Queen’s “We Will Rock You” with Megan Thee Stallion, but it’s tied to the new Ridley Scott directed Paramount sequel Gladiator II. The campaign entitled “Make Your Gameday Epic” will

Johnny Depp has come a long way since one of his greatest roles as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. His first movie since the infamous Depp v. Heard trial was Jeanne Du Barry, where he played the title role, and there are many other future projects ahead of him. But just

Broadway turned out to see favorites Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow for the first weekend of The Roommate, the new Jen Silverman play at the Booth.

Even with all the exciting upcoming horror movie premieres and spooky TV shows on the way, it’s impossible not to return to all-time classics and personal favorites that haven’t been seen in a while. To start getting into the All-Hallows spirit with my wife and 13-year-old daughter, I threw on the George Romero-directed, Stephen King-scripted

Here’s something September hasn’t seen in seven years: a movie opening to north of $100M over a Friday-Sunday span. Whatever Warner Bros. lost over the summer in largely a string of flops — its May-to-Labor Day season didn’t even break $170M — the David Zaslav-run entertainment conglom will make up for this fall beginning with

Blumhouse is continuing to explore the dark side of technology with the development of SOULM8TE. The upcoming horror movie (which also counts as an upcoming sci-fi movie) boasts a similar plot to M3GAN — the company’s 2022 hit about a kid’s robotic doll that turns deadly — but with a more, shall we say, risqué

We’re still a couple of months away from the holiday season taking complete hold of the world, but when that happens, we can be sure that a lot of people will revisit their favorites by watching some of the best Christmas movies around.

So, I didn’t believe the hype of The Iron Giant. And now I seriously do.  Let me preface this by saying that I have seen The Iron Giant. I watched it once when I was a kid, and I do remember enjoying it, but it was also slightly before my time. While I did grow

Edgar Wright’s cult classic horror-comedy Shaun Of The Dead grossed an estimated $600k for the 3-day weekend and $720k for the four days in Focus Features re-release for the comic zombie-fest’s 20th anniversary.

Back in 1994, audiences witnessed arguably Robert Downey Jr.’s most engaging film and role of the entire decade, with respects to Chaplin, in the form of Oliver Stone’s wildly chaotic mass-murder romance Natural Born Killers. Downey’s enjoyably over-the-top performance as tabloid TV journalist Wayne Gale is on par with the film itself, and he’s spoken
