The book actually feels kind of sparse on content in comparison, and the ending of the novel is extremely different from that of the film (Read: Not as good). Visually and viscerally speaking, though,

Tango Shalom — where a female Tango dancer (Dancing with the Stars champion Karina Smirnoff) invites an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi (Jos Laniado) to enter a televised dance competition — was an arthouse standout this weekend with a per screen average of over $4,000 at four theaters in New York and LA. The solid performance in a

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s been a strange and often troubling time in recent weeks for movie studios to release big blockbuster titles. Rising numbers of the COVID-19 Delta variant has stunted box office potential, and it has resulted not only in subdued numbers, but we’re also starting to once again see some notable

Warning: contains spoilers for Dark Ages #1!

After their time on The Challenge, Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols have built a life for each other and just welcomed a baby boy.

As with the classic version of Hulk, Abomination doesn’t exactly speak. He mostly just yells and grunts and maybe makes simple vocalizations in an attempt to make words. Really, anybody could have done that for Abomination in Shang-Chi, but Tim Roth was the one who brought the character to life, so Marvel Studios did go

Manifest is an addictive sci-fi and supernatural drama airing on NBC with an intriguing premise. A flight goes missing, with all passengers presumed dead.

Courtney Howard from Variety also enjoyed Cinderella overall, but had some criticisms. While she praised director Kay Cannon’s inspired creative approach to make this musical into a fantasy unlike any before it, Howard thought the execution was flawed. She was frustrated with the movie’s inconsistent pacing and character development, which somehow was both underdeveloped and

It could be argued that the man known as Max Rockatansky was not cut out for life in a post-apocalyptic world. The character was brought to life by Mel Gibson in one of his best movie roles of all time and, while his survival skills and ruthlessness helped him survive when humanity took a nosedive, it was

Being James Bond, from MGM, will stream exclusively on the Apple TV app as a free rental ahead of the theatrical release of No Time To Die, the 25th installment of the storied franchise.

If you needed another reason to believe that Keanu Reeves is a stand up guy and love him for it, other than portraying a character who basically rips the underground crime world apart because of the death of his dog, John Wick 4 star Donnie Yen gives us just that. In an interview with Collider,

Mega Man 2 is widely considered the best in the classic video game franchise and certainly deserves to be remembered as one of the NES games that have aged very well. It was the game that essentially put the Blue Bomber on the map, far exceeding the success, reach, and scope of the original game. With eight Robot Masters

Pantelion’s animated film Un Rescate De Huevitos (An Egg Rescue) is a rarity in the specialty box office as a Spanish language animated film. And its opening weekend success will certainly come as no surprise in Mexico where the franchise is its highest-grossing film series to date. The Spanish-language animation performed tremendously at its 320

Jungle Cruise had been a long time coming, and a month ago, the movie based off the popular Disney theme park attraction finally arrived in both theaters and on Disney+’s Premier Access.

If Albus Dumbledore had a Sterling Pound for every time the Sorting Hat misjudged someone, he’d probably have enough to give Hogwarts a modern facelift.

There it is. Ryan Reynolds is excited to get to work on a second Free Guy movie, and he’s thinking about what characters could return for it. He says he can’t wait for the Barista and Cat Lady to team-up in “Phase 5,” as a reference to the MCU’s many phases of films that it

These days, there are more canonically bisexual and LGBTQ+ characters in comic books than ever before, but there’s still a long way to go in terms of representation.
