Arnold Schwarzenegger would definitely get a kick out of seeing the famed character. He also slipped in the costume of for the movie in actual stores 25 years after the film’s release. Over the years, Jingle All The Way has continued to cycle through households during the holiday season. The movie was turned into a sequel starring Larry the Cable Guy in 2014, but let’s be honest here, it just wasn’t the same....

California Academy of Sciences astrophysicist Aaron White spoke with IGN and, perhaps unsurprisingly, he had more than a few issues with the F9 handles it's stunts from a science perspective. Most of his focus is on the big finale sequence in the film, where Vin Diesel and his team have all their cars outfitted with electromagnets. White points out that the magnets in the movie are a bit selective in what they pull in, and that magnetic fields are spherical, so they would pull in things from all directions. However,...

The prevailing thought in the aftermath of this has been that Darren Cross is dead, but it doesn't seem impossible that he could still be alive... albeit somewhere else. Rather than being killed inside his suit, he may have just had an incredibly violent ride to the Quantum Realm, which is expected to be a hugely important setting in Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania (the title is the hint). That in mind, this rumor can't be totally dismissed until we get some kind of confirmation either way from the studio,...

It was only a matter of time before Universal made their streaming move following this past year. Almost everyone of the five major movie studios are establishing streaming models, with Walt Disney Studios’ Disney+, Paramount’s Paramount+ and Warner Bros’ HBO Max. So far, Universal has been leaning on the theatrical model for their movie arm, with a modified two-week window before making its new films available on digital that was established during the pandemic. With a new deal with Peacock, the platform can become a hub for Universal properties....

There are plenty of theories about who Taskmaster could be, but I'm going to come at the question from a slightly different angle, does it matter? Maybe Taskmaster will turn out to be some important character from Black Widow's past, maybe even somebody we've already met in the MCU, but that's not the only possibility. We almost certainly will learn who Taskmaster is at some point in Black Widow, but when we learn the answer, will it send a shockwave through the MCU, or will it be not big deal,...

A Christmas Carol has been adapted by Hollywood many times before and through a modern lens with movies like 1988’s Scrooged starring Bill Murray, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and 2009’s Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Details are thin about the creative liberties being made for Spirited, but the fact that it’s a musical definitely sets it apart, not only for the source material, but for Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell’s resume....

Army Of The Dead (2021)Say what you want about Zack Snyder movies, but I would actually call the director’s Netflix original hybrid of George A. Romero, The Dirty Dozen, and Ocean’s Eleven some of his finest work, if not his best ever (and I really do mean that). However, I can also empathize with critics’ frustration over the details that Army of the Dead introduces but to little avail, such as time loops, how zombies could reproduce, and what the deal is with those zombie robots. We could just wait...

In March 2020, the box office was essentially cryogenically frozen thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's been slowly thawing out ever since, with things crawling back towards normal. Week to week we would see some movies hit big, but mandates and restrictions kept the market limited. This weekend, however, the industry has finally crossed a massive goal post: with the July 4th holiday being celebrated across the country, and a nice wide variety of titles to choose from available on the big screen, this was the first weekend since the...

Over the last year, the pandemic forced not only film and television productions to shut down but theme parks as well. Reopenings have slowly commenced, with a few new rules to boot. Luckily, the likes of Universal Studios Hollywood has two secret weapons to get butts back into roller coasters, and their names are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck....

For those who need to be brought up to speed, the feud between Dwayne Johnson and Tyrese Gibson began in earnest when Universal Pictures gave the greenlight to Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw, which was headlined by The Rock and fellow franchise alum Jason Statham. While this was exciting for fans, Gibson took issue with the fact that Johnson was cutting off from the main film series to do his own franchise and that the spinoff would delay production on the ninth installment of the parent series. From...

Regardless, Justin Lin noted how they “have fun” choosing what to call each new Fast & Furious chapter, which he said originated from when he talked Vin Diesel into coming back for that Tokyo Drift cameo. The two men talked about the connections between the characters, and if another Fast & Furious movie were to be made, they didn’t want to repeat themselves, instead wanting to “evolve” the franchise. Lin continued:...
