The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a long history of not giving blockbuster films (comic book movies in particular) their fair shake during awards season. Though Heath Ledger’s unpredictable Joker performance received award recognition posthumously back in 2009, many felt the film was unfairly snubbed. Legendary director, Steven Spielberg, happens to be

Kristen Stewart has been teasing her ambition to get behind the camera and make her first feature film for a few years now. The Oscar-nominated actress known for the Twilight saga and a host of critically-acclaimed roles has her sights set on adapting one of her favorite books, Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Chronology of Water. In

Halle Berry made Oscar history 21 years ago when she became the first Black woman to win the Best Actress award. Now as a group of legendary actresses made their way onto the list of 2023 Academy Award nominees over two decades later, the actress who took home a trophy for Monster’s Ball in 2002

Actor/producer Brad Pitt has been a sex symbol ever since he burst onto the scene in Thelma and Louise. He especially dominated the ‘90s and early 2000s, thanks to movie roles and relationships with other celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow. His looks and fame were so well-known that he was name-dropped in Shania Twain’s hit single

Actor Jeremy Renner has had a long and successful career, although his name is perhaps most synonymous with his ongoing role as Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While audiences have watched him save the day a number of times, fans were concerned when he was hospitalized on New Year’s Day, remaining in critical care

Two of the greatest art forms to have ever mined human tears, in my opinion, are Broadway musicals and Disney movies. Both can be found on the 2023 movie schedule, and sometimes you can even see the two mixed together through stage adaptations of the studio’s animated masterpieces. Now, one more of those instances is

Romantic comedies: They’re not supposed to be dangerous! This isn’t Tom Cruise driving a motorcycle off of a European cliff so he can transition into a base jump. It’s Sandra Bullock having a meet-cute with Keanu Reeves, or Julia Roberts falling for Hugh Grant at a bookstore in Notting Hill. That’s what makes the list

Oscar nomination day, was a truly great day for all us Paul Mescal fans, as the actor picked up his first Academy Award nod for his performance in the indie-darling Aftersun. The 26-year-old actor has grown quite the fanbase following his breakout performance in Hulu’s adaptation of Normal People. Now, a few years later, and

We’re still very much in the M3GAN moment, thanks to the first big hit of the 2023 new movie releases continuing to set the internet ablaze. There’s no telling where you’ll see Blumhouse’s killer doll next, as she’s likely to pop up where you least expect her. Leaning into this fun game of hide and

While sci-fi fans like myself wait for the highly-anticipated sixth season of Black Mirror to be released, one movie on the 2023 Sundance Film Festival lineup, The Pod Generation, provided the kind of ‘what if’ that could have fit with other episodes of the Netflix series. The movie stars Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke living

Although Zach Cregger has been active in the comedy corner of the entertainment industry for many years, with his credits including The Whitest Kids U’ Know, Wrecked and Miss March, last year he made a big splash in the horror realm with Barbarian. The “crazy” flick starring Bill Skarsgård, Georgina Campbell and Justin Long was

Over the course of the past year or so, we’ve watched Jonathan Majors’ physical transformation as he prepared to play three ripped characters in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Creed III and Magazine Dreams. Now, these movies are all set to release throughout 2023, and the actor, whose hard work has clearly paid off, is

Among the most-anticipated upcoming horror movies on the horizon is Scream VI, which will bring the blood and mystery of Ghostface to New York City for the first time ever. When Paramount Pictures unveiled the latest trailer this week, fans couldn’t get enough of the bone-chilling shots. However, one particular tease seemed to truly capture

While some of our reviewers were not so keen on Mama (see the review here) when it dropped in 2013, over the years, the horror movie about two young orphans being parented by an unknown supernatural entity has only grown in popularity and cult status. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the supernatural flick and

Emma Roberts has been following in the footsteps of her father Eric Roberts and her aunt Julia Roberts over the years with a successful career in Hollywood. The 31-year-old’s latest role does that in more ways than one, as she stars in a romantic comedy with Richard Gere. No, they aren’t love interests; Gere plays

Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd will forever be intertwined in moviegoing fans’ collective pop culture imaginations. An occupational hazard that accompanies being Hollywood A-listers, especially two who starred in one of the best trilogies of all time, Back to the Future. Not all co-stars get along on set or go on to spark a

At present, James Cameron is still celebrating the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, which opened in theaters in December. All the while, another one of Cameron’s features is headed to the big screen soon, as Titanic will return for its 25th anniversary. If you were an avid moviegoer during the ‘90s, chances are

Last August, Stephen King fans were delivered some disappointing news when it was announced by Warner Bros. that the upcoming remake of Salem’s Lot no longer has an official release date. About half-a-year later, we’re still waiting to learn when we’ll get to see that adaptation on the big screen – but as we exhibit

When the Twilight movie franchise began in 2008, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were considered incredibly bankable stars at the time, and Taylor Lautner reached a whole new fanbase outside of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. But it’s been eleven years since the series’ final installment hit theaters and, in that time, many have become more self-aware

It turns out that a lot of famous people have names that are a bit more difficult to pronounce correctly than we thought. Coming off the news that it turns out most of us have been pronouncing Rihanna’s name wrong this whole time, it’s now come to our attention that we’ve all been getting Margot

I certainly believe that Jennifer Coolidge is the moment right now. With her chaotic and hilarious awards speeches — which have included, but are not limited to, her mentioning Crocs and dancing to the music trying to play her off — as well as her critically acclaimed performance on The White Lotus, all eyes are

Progress on a proposed Tron movie starring Jared Leto has been a bumpy road to follow. The latest updates surrounded a project called Tron: Ares, which would see Jared Leto taking the starring role in the next chapter. After some starts and stops, it looks like The Grid is finally booting up again, and Disney’s

Avatar: The Way of Water is approaching the $2 billion mark at the global box office and a big part of the reason the movie is doing so well has to be chalked up to the fact that viewers are springing for more expensive 3D movie tickets, and that anybody who wants to have the

On January 15th, five days after the winners of the 80th Golden Globes were announced, the 28th Critics’ Choice Award unfolding, providing yet another ceremony to keep track of during awards season. But we’re not here to talk about who walked away with trophies on that night. Instead, it’s time to discuss the ridiculous Cold

The practice of deepfakes is still pretty much in its infancy, but it’s already taken horrifyingly convincing steps forward. Many popular actors know this all too well, and Robert Pattinson is one such party, as the DC movies star has been a subject to that very practice in recent times. His reaction to this trend

After Austin Butler worked tirelessly to embody Elvis Presley for Baz Luhrmann’s lively biopic about the music icon, the actor has been on the award season circuit for his Oscar-worthy performance. As Butler has made numerous appearances, including his recent Golden Globes win, fans have shown concern that he sounds like Elvis in real life.

The Scream franchise returns this spring with the sixth installment, which will not only mark the first time Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott sits a movie out, but also Ghostface’s debut in New York City. That’s right, the iconic masked killer is expanding its murderous spree to the Big Apple, and as if that doesn’t remind

Rejection: it’s something we all have to face up against at some point or another. However, if you get a good story out of the experience, it’s all the more worth it. One such story has recently come to light, as David Duchovny’s press rounds for the Netflix 2023 new movie release You People has

It may still be early in the 2023 new movie release schedule, but there’s never a bad time for a surprise at the movies. M3GAN’s success story was the first big happening at the movies this year, as it over-performed even its rosiest estimates when all was done and dusted. However, a new surprise has

There’s just something about M3GAN that has audiences, critics, and even the powers behind the film buzzing with excitement about a potential sequel. Universal executives were allegedly talking about another round before the 2023 new movie release was even in theaters, and they weren’t the only ones. That enthusiasm was apparently infectious enough that even
