I was recently reminded of this by the 2021 Academy Award nominations reveal. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Dreamworks’ hit adaptation of William Steig’s book about an ogre, voiced by Mike Myers, who unexpectedly becomes the hero of his own romantic fairy tale adventure. That being said, I cannot think...

The Acting, Particularly Michelle Pfeiffer and Jennifer Lawrence, Is Top NotchOkay, first off, mother! may have been the movie that ruined Jennifer Lawrence’s career. Or at the very least, put it on hold. Before mother!, Jennifer Lawrence was literally the girl on fire. But after mother!, she decided to take a pretty long hiatus from the limelight. But why? Well, it’s definitely not because of her performance, since it’s impeccable in this movie. In fact, it’s probably the best she’s done since Silver Linings Playbook, especially since she’s supposed to...

When you win an Oscar, you instantly become the talk of the town, and that’s what happened to Gwyneth Paltrow, for better and for worse, when she nabbed the prize in 1999. She said she felt like she needed to just hide out at her parents house, and she apparently did for three weeks. Her mother is Blythe Danner, who is also an award-winning actress, and her father was director/producer Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2002 due to complications from cancer....

IT Chapter Two – Shopkeeper (2019)Finally we have the most recent Stephen King appearance/cameo, and it also happens to be one of his best. Derry, Maine is a place with no shortage of weirdos, and the author plays a great one in IT Chapter Two, where he is featured as the proprietor of the Second Hand Rose pawn shop. When James McAvoy’s Bill Denbrough comes in after seeing his old bicycle, Silver, in the window, King’s character does nothing but give the famous writer grief – first by hiking up...

A good gauge of a great rom-com is the cast having fun on set, and according to Joel McHale, he had a great time translating the “batshit” script for BenDavid Grabinski’s vision. The movie has a bizzare air about it that hinges close to horror territory, which must have been fun to play around with on set....

In Enchanted James Marsden plays Prince Edward, who chases after Amy Adams' Giselle and finds himself in the real world, a place that really confuses him. Idina Menzel played Nancy Tremaine, who starts out the movie as the girlfriend of Patrick Dempsey's Robert, but ends up running off with Prince Edward. So, in the end, while some relationships don't work out, everybody ends up more or less happy.Disenchanted will arrive exclusively on Disney+.

The comic focuses on two main characters, Debbie Decay and Led Dent, who are peacekeepers working in Los Angeles until they are given a job to venture in a tech-less country known as the Garden Nation of Tokyo. Tokyo Ghost could draw comparisons to Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner or Akira, with roots in classic literature likened to 1984 or Brave New World. There’s an expansive sci-fi world at play here that could spawn sequels if the first movie becomes a hit....

Dwayne Johnson has been wanting to get Black Adam in theaters for years, and the project is finally coming together for the DC Extended Universe. The villainous title character is expected to face off with a number of heroes in the film, including Hawkman, Atom Smasher, Cyclone, and now Doctor Fate. Pierce Brosnan will be making his DC debt playing the latter hero, and Johnson responded to the news on social media, posting:...

Milly Shapiro’s TikTok was also captioned with a note mentioning some of the rude comments posted on the trailer. However, she seemed to be in decent spirits about the situation, telling fans to “live laugh love.” It can’t be easy being portrayed in such a negative light, especially in a film as popular as Hereditary. Her character, Charlie, is the black sheep of the family and a central figure in one of the film's biggest twists....

Celebrity couples have enthralled the general public for as long as people have been famous. And while being a public figure comes with plenty of advantages, it can be a double-edged sword when you're in a romantic relationship with another celeb. Chris Pratt and Anna Faris know this all too well, as their fans were no doubt invested in their marriage before splitting up. And now Faris is opening up about feeling competitive in previous relationships....

The doctor, who practices in Vacaville, California, decided to remix one of the popular big numbers from Hamilton and create a music video to promote the importance of vaccines to make the COVID-19 pandemic a distant memory. He recruited his wife, Dr. Tuong-Vi Ha, and six other local healthcare workers to reimagine “My Shot.” Check it:...

It sounds like Derek Kolstad is staying pretty grounded about the situation. But if you caught an edge to his words, it’s because apparently it was not the writer’s own decision to leave the franchise. In the same interview, Kolstad goes on to say that the studio did not have to have him back as a writer, and it even sounds like they were edging him out with Chapter 3 when he shared writing credits with multiple people. You can read it for yourself, in Kolstads exact words:...

While the “Luke doesn’t know technology” theory doesn’t have as exciting a name as the "Bigger Luke" conspiracy, it has a lot of solid evidence to back it up. Through the Star Wars moments shared in the tweet above, one can see a consistent pattern of Luke’s inability to see what’s going on when aided by technology. But, of course, when it comes to the Death Star trench run in A New Hope, the future Jedi uses the Force and is able to see things clear as a bell. Luke...

Emerald Fennell will write a Zatanna movie, which will be a product of Warner Bros’ and DC Film’s partnership with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot banner. Variety doesn’t mention if Fennell will also direct Zatanna, and the role of the eponymous magician has hasn’t been cast yet. Zatanna marks the DCEU’s fourth female-led property, with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, in addition to her ensemble appearances, having already starred in two adventures (with both a third movie and a spinoff on the way) and Harley Quinn, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya...
