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...

The paper notes that plans for Brad Pitt to finally spend time with Angelina Jolie and their children surface around this time every year, but seem to fall apart because, as the inside states, things between the couple and their representatives are “not that simple.” The saddest part seems to be how long this custody battle has been waging on. As we enter into 2021, this becomes year five of the Pitt-Jolie squabble, and the insiders make it sound like it has been a gruelling process on both parents, as...

In 1997, just five years after he debuted in the Image Comics pages, Spawn made the jump to the big screen, with Michael Jai White starring as the demonic character and his original persona, Al Simmons. Alas, Spawn did not perform critically or commercially, and creator Todd McFarlane has spent more than a decade trying to get a reboot off the ground. As of 2017, the Spawn reboot has found its home at Blumhouse Productions, but White isn’t sure that the new project will actually come to life....

It’s very much a story akin to that of Russell Crowe’s Gladiator hero, as Maximus crusades against corrupt emperor Commodus, played by the iconic Joaquin Phoenix, for similar reasons. With a rule that was unjustly stolen, and one that led to the death of Maximus’ family, Ridley Scott’s hero avenged his family and fought to restore the post of emperor to someone who truly deserved it. It’s the same lesson, but with a different rating, an entirely different Hans Zimmer score and way more blood....

It’s a film that you’re meant to let your mind get lost in, as what begins as a simple story about a young woman meeting her boyfriend’s parents for the first time devolves into a meditation on the subjects of identity, time, and life, all while being simultaneously freaky and funny. The outstanding cast including Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collette and David Thewlis help you fall deep into the ever-escalating weirdness, and while it may have you scratching your head at the end, in that same sense it’s also...

A vacation planner at Walt Disney World apparently stole nearly $34,000 from the resort in the form of cash she pocketed from guests for MagicBands, and while that amount of money is more than enough to qualify for grand theft, it appears the woman was only charged with a pair of misdemeanors. The police's punishment certainly seems light to compared to Disney who, of course, fired the woman from her position, and has also banned her from Disney World....

While most major markets remain closed, including Los Angeles and New York, Wonder Woman 1984 played in over 2,100 locations this past weekend in North America – albeit with theaters operating at limited capacity. The film also got a lot of eyeballs overseas where HBO Max isn't available yet, and to date has made $68.3 million in foreign markets. According to Warner Bros., its current worldwide box office haul stands at $85 million (which admittedly means that the film, which had a budget of $200 million before marketing, still has...

One of the greatest things about Pixar is the company's willingness to take big swings when it comes to creative ideas, and develop stories that nobody else on Earth is telling. This has led them to have incredible success over the last 25 years, but there is a side effect of that approach that can be summed up in one word: questions. Its fascinating to peer into the lives of toys when humans aren't around, and discover why it is that monsters scare children, but there are always lingering details...

In Wonder Woman 1984, the Invisible Jet isn’t something that just exists, but instead something that Diana essentially creates. While attempting to steal a jet with Steve Trevor, the superhero winds up using the same kind of magic that helped the Amazons hide Themyscira from Man’s World on the planet, and, voila, the famed comic book vehicle is rendered real. It’s further used to great effect, as it not only serves as transportation that gets the protagonists to Egypt quickly, but also lends itself to an awesome sequence that sees...

David Sherborne highlighted key points from Justice Nicol’s decision that he believes led to an unfair conclusion. In short, he believes the justice’s “uncritical acceptance” of Amber Heard’s claims didn’t include appropriate analysis of the case. He argued that the justice excluded relevant evidence that supported Johnny Depp’s claims about Amber Heard’s behavior and didn’t consider whether her allegations against him would hold up under scrutiny:...
