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

Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos wowed audiences in 2023 with the help of Emma Stone in Poor Things, and the duo are back sooner than many expected for their third overall collaboration. Kinds of Kindness premieres June 21, and it sounds like moviegoers are in for a truly unique theatrical experience. Critics have had the opportunity to

Out of the films I’ve seen on the 2024 release schedule so far, I don’t think I’d be surprising anyone if I said that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has been one of my favorites. Wes Ball’s continuation of the Caesar trilogy timeline is a promising start for the road ahead, and I’m

While Spooky Season is technically still a few months away, genre fans are getting a number of exciting scary movies this summer.

It’s official: the Boston Celtics are the 2024 NBA Championship winners! As a fan, I can’t tell you how great it feels to be able to say that. Their 4-1 series win marks a moment of pride not only for the city as a whole but of course, also for the players involved. Someone who

Some time ago, in theaters not too far from you, Spaceballs sent up the Star Wars legacy as only comedy legend Mel Brooks could. And as the man behind History of the World Part I was known to do from time to time, he joked about how one of the best ‘80s movies would have

Whether it’s through the theatrical re-release of the original trilogy or the upcoming 2024 movie The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, author J.R.R. Tolkien’s creation continues to thrive.

Michael B. Jordan is no stranger to working out, whether it’s for movies roles or just getting back into shape after a hiatus. Regarding the former, from showing his jacked arms for Creed 3 to packing on muscle for his time in Black Panther, the man will do what it takes to be in the

What do Sheldon Cooper and J. Robert Oppenheimer have in common? At least one thing! Yes, really and actually.

The Golden Age of the industry presented rugged masculinity with Humphrey Bogart and Kirk Douglas, while the 1980s gave us hyper-masculine macho men like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. And, of course, 1990s presented more boy-next-door-type men like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Tastes just keep

Get out the midnight margaritas! Practical Magic 2 is coming!
