So taking all this information into consideration, it certainly sounds like Wonder Woman 1984 did gangbusters on HBO Max. However, that’s just on the surface. Again. there are no concrete numbers to work off of, which isn’t surprising given how closely guarded streaming services keep that information. But even ignoring that, it’s hard to say if Wonder Woman 1984 can keep this momentum going. It’s possible this will go down more as a short-term victory rather than a long-term win, especially when it comes to quantifying if streaming services will...

From Dusk Till Dawn Went To Battle Against Hollywood UnionsRodriguez and Tarantino have a long history with Hollywood unions. Most of Rodriguez’s early films were done with non-union crews, while Tarantino is not a member of the Writer’s Guild of America (he is a member of the Director’s Guild, however). From Dusk Till Dawn was another non-union production for Rodriguez, but that almost led to some problems. In a report from Variety, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) was not thrilled that an $18 million budgeted movie was...

That is an even easier concern to discuss, as TNT is on the same home team as DC Comics thanks to being a part of the WarnerMedia family. Though that does introduce some additional questions, as TNT does have the rights to some of the films that connect to Captain Marvel, thanks to its recent premieres of both Ant-Man and The Wasp and Avengers: Endgame; as well as its retention of Avengers: Infinity War for the time being. But the coup de grace of bizarro thinking has to come from...

Bill Skarsgard (Pennywise)Pennywise, or IT, is the main antagonist in both films. He can take on many forms but chooses to be a clown. Pennywise and Bill Skarsgard made clowns scary again, though I don’t think they ever really stopped being frightening. Bill Skarsgard worked on another Stephen King production in 2018 and 2019, Castle Rock. Skarsgard’s next TV series was AMC’s Soulmates. He has also appeared in a series of indie and big-budget films, including Assassination Nation, Deadpool 2, Villains, Nine Days, and The Devil All the Time. He...

Some of these movies have better reviews than others, and in Unknown’s case that flick actually only landed a 55% rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of its release. But while not the best movie or even the best Liam Neeson movie I’ve ever seen, it has a solid twist and is engaging through its entire runtime. IMDB users have been kinder on the film too, with Unknown nabbing a 6.8 rating there....

Lupita Nyong’oLupita Nyong’o’s Nakia was once part of the Dora Milaje, but then shifted to being a War Dog, i.e. an international spy for Wakanda. It was also noted in Black Panther how she and T’Challa used to be romantically involved, and at the end of the the movie, it looked like they were resuming their relationship. However, Nakia did not appear in Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame, and because T’Challa won’t be involved in Black Panther 2, it stands to reason we won’t get to see the couple’s...

As early as this morning, Tanya Roberts’ rep, Mike Pingel, and her husband, Lance, were informed that she was still alive. And as TMZ reported, even Roberts’ own spouse was shocked, as he’d thought he had paid witness to her final moments sometime yesterday. One phone call changed all of that, and now a tragic passing has become a thankful close shave with death; though there’s no update on Tanya Roberts’ condition in these updates just yet....

At the time of this reporting, the cause of death is unclear, though reports are saying that it is not related to the COVID-19 pandemic.Per TMZ, Tanya Roberts collapsed on Christmas Eve after returning home from a walk with her dogs, and she was immediately taken to the hospital....

Robert Pattinson was the perfect, sparkliest Edward Cullen we could have asked for but, as you can imagine, he wasn’t the only actor who auditioned for Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight. Before any camera tests got rolling back in 2007, Stephenie Meyer was using her blog to communicate with fans about her casting ideas for the to-be movie adaptation of her worldwide phenomenon, and Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill was at the tip-top of the list. For context, at the time, Cavill was a brand new actor with just a few...

That Said, It Also Has Sharkboy And Lavagirl In It, As Well As Their Daughter, Guppy!Taylor Dooley, who played Lavagirl in the first movie, returns, and she’s all grown up! And while the other Taylor decided to sit this one out, his replacement, played by JJ Dashnaw, is fine, even though he doesn’t talk. But the movie isn’t about the adults (more on that soon). It’s all about the kids. And We Can Be Heroes is a natural progression to the story since Sharkboy and Lavagirl had a child together...

Warner Bros. does seem to be moving on from David Ayer with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which will feature a number of characters from the original film including Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag and Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller. The upcoming movie will also introduce a ton of new members to the fateful DC team, but it will not include Jared Leto’s Joker....

Alyson Reed (Ms. Darbus)As Ms. Darbus, East High School's stern and, well, dramatic drama teacher, Alyson Reed played a prominent adult role in Disney Channel's High School Musical. A stage performer since childhood, Reed has performed in a number of Broadway productions, including Dancin', Dance a Little Closer, A Grand Night of Singing, Marilyn: An American Fable, and Cabaret, for which she was Tony-nominated. Her screen credits include A Chorus Line, Skin Deep, Modern Family, Chance, Bones, Mad Men, Numb3rs, Providence, The Agency, Murphy Brown, Norma Jean & Marilyn, Party...

The Jedi master, who has spent far more time in the robes of Luke Skywalker than he probably could have predicted, is very active on social media as he interacts with Star Wars fans of all ages. And when he sees something really clever, cool, or cute that’s related to that galaxy far, far away, he’s happy to share it with his followers. In this case, it’s a TikTok of a cat who is leaping at a TV screen to try and snag Kylo’s lightsaber in mid-air....

#9. One Night In MiamiAverage Score: 4.1/5 Regina King has been on an incredible roll in the last few couple years, following up her Oscar-winning work in If Beale Street Could Talk with the awe-inspiring Watchmen on HBO, and applause is only growing louder now that she’s followed up those projects with her directorial debut. An awesome adaptation of the play of the same name by Kemp Powers, One Night In Miami is a powerhouse drama following a fictional story of four real legends, and it packs a punch. It’s...
