Throughout his career as a stone-cold cool dude, actor Samuel L. Jackson has had some equally icy lines that entertain, threaten, or just plain rock. And in this list, we’re about to run through a sampling of those beautiful moments of cinematic dialogue that help keep Mr. Jackson on the list of coolest actors in

Since the early days of horror, the genre has always been a place the LGBTQ+ community has gravitated toward, especially in terms of the stories tackling topics of otherness queer people can often relate to. This extends to the Scream movies, which Courteney Cox is now cheerfully celebrating as Pride Month continues! Courteney Cox Celebrates

I have said before that, while failure is rarely something I root for — especially when it comes to the movie business — I personally think that the premature cancellation of the Dark Universe is one of the best things to happen to the horror genre in recent memory. If 2017’s The Mummy had been

As we enter the latter half of the year, Dune: Part Two still ranks as one of the biggest successes on the 2024 movies schedule. Its $711+ million worldwide haul makes it the second highest-grossing movie of the year (trailing only behind Inside Out 2), and the second half of this adaptation of Frank Herbert’s

Maybe I’m a masochist, but I’ve seen a lot of movies about slavery. Harriet, Emancipation (pre-Bad Boys: Ride or Die Will Smith), Beloved, and of course, the Academy Award-winning 12 Years a Slave are all movies that I’ve sat through, and, if I’m being completely honest, suffered through.  However, do you want to know my

When spooky season rolls around each October, Hocus Pocus has long been one of the great fun Halloween movies for families to watch. In 2022, Disney offered audiences with a blast of an annual double feature for the holiday season with Hocus Pocus 2. Now Bette Midler just spoke about the potential of Hocus Pocus

A Quiet Place deals When preparing to see the new installment of a film franchise for review, I always have an internal debate about whether or not I should revisit the previous movies so that they are fresh in my mind as the new story unfolds. In some cases, I decide to do it (just

Wednesday is one of the best shows on Netflix, with one of those reasons being because of actress Jenna Ortega. She was perfect at giving a nod to the classic Addams Family character and furthering her development. But before Ortega became super famous on Wednesday, she signed on for a new romance film with director

Ti West’s MaXXXine is unequivocally a horror film. Following up the slashing in X and the shocks in Pearl, terror and gore are in no short supply, and it unsubtly tips its hat to classics of the genre – from Alfred Hitchcock to Giallo cinema. But it would also be a disservice to suggest that

As has been the case with every Fast & Furious movie aside from Fast X, which ended with quite the harrowing cliffhanger, 2013’s Fast & Furious 6 wrapped up with the good guys victorious. Following the defeat of Owen Shaw, Dominic Toretto and his crew went back to the Toretto family home in Los Angeles

Spoiler alert for Inside Out 2! Alright, let’s get real here – there was a scene in Inside Out 2 that physically changed me, and I have to talk about it.  As someone who has been a fan of Inside Out, I couldn’t wait until the sequel, and when Inside Out 2 was announced, I

Angelina Jolie has been in the film industry for the past four decades, with her best movies including the Lara Croft films, Changeling and Girl, Interrupted, to name a few. While she’s already scored three Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild and one Oscar, Jolie is now the proud recipient of a Tony Award for

It looks like, after more than two decades, the magic has not run out yet. It was in early June 2024 when Warner Bros. announced that a sequel to 1998’s Practical Magic is in the works, which makes us wonder what sort of mystical mischief the enchanted Owens Sisters are up to now. Well, we,

After many years of dormancy, the parody movies genre finally seems to be making a comeback in its signature, cartoonishly over-the-top style. In addition to the latest upcoming Scary Movie sequel, another new installment of a beloved franchise of spoofs is on its way in the form of a reboot of The Naked Gun. However,

Of course, most viewers focus on the Academy Awards’ big four – Best Actor, Actress, Director, and Best Picture. However, Best Original Song crept up in the last four decades to become a coveted prize for music’s top stars, as seen by pop superstar Billie Eilish picking up her second Oscar this year. It is

I think it’s fair to say Emily Blunt has mastered the American accent. The British actress even earned a 2024 Oscar nomination for convincingly playing the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Kitty. But apparently Blunt has spent so much time in the United States that she’s apparently experienced a change in her accent. Well, at

When I first had the opportunity to watch Dogtooth in 2010, I instantly recognized writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos as a filmmaker with fascinating sensibilities and style, and I committed to keeping an eye on his work in the years ahead… but I never had even the slightest inkling that he would find what can be called

He has become, without question, the breakout star of the 2024 summer movie season. Dennis McDonald’s legendary character Reggie, first introduced in Michael Bay’s Bad Boys II, has become a staple of the series ever since. Normally, he’s on the receiving end of the ridicule dispensed by Marcus (Martin Lawrence) and Mike (Will Smith), because
