Helen Mirren had a very important role in being part of the cast of Barbie. She was the box office-dominating film’s narrator, providing humor with her signature British accent. In addition to being heard though, Mirren was almost also seen drunk fighting in a scene with a fellow Oscar winner. Greta Gerwig had no one

It’s been a great time for double features, what with 2023’s Barbie-meets-Oppenheimer phenomenon and the recent cinematic coupling of Wicked Part 1 and Moana 2 (a.k.a. “Theater Kid Barbenheimer”). Sydney Sweeney wants to keep the multi-title movie events going with a pair of her most recent theatrical releases. While sitting down for a recent interview

Ready for your weekly dose of Stephen King? The latest edition of The King Beat is here to satiate your hunger with a fun feature inspired by developments from the King world in the last seven days. This week, we have a bit of fan casting for the developing Holly TV series, a new horror

This time of year, with so many awards shows going on, it seems like celebrities spend most of their time walking red carpets. That requires a lot of very nice clothes to be worn, so maybe it’s not a shock that, between the need to change things up, and the fact that all designers are

Soon, Game of Thrones fans and lovers of horror movies will have a project to rally around, because two of the Stark children are reuniting for a new scary movie called The Dreadful. That’s right, Sophie Turner and Kit Harington are coming back together for a scary movie, and the former Queen of the North

It’s been over half a year since Barbie opened in theaters, and there’s still a lot of talk surrounding what CinemaBlend ranked as one of the best movies of 2023. Among the many things this movie has going for it is its all-star cast, which included looping in Michael Cera as Allan, although his manager

It’s been nearly five years since we saw Sansa Stark get crowned Queen in the North and her half-brother Jon Snow lead the Wildlings to the lands beyond the Wall in that polarizing Game of Thrones series finale. So it’s high time for a Stark family reunion, and I’m not the only one who thinks

It has been over 20 years since the release of Lost In Translation, and it is widely considered to be one of the best films of the 2000s. The critically-acclaimed 2003 Sofia Coppola-directed film stars Bill Murray as Bob, an aging American actor who finds his star power to be dimming, so he ends up

It was a sad day for the world when The Fast and the Furious actor Paul Walker died in a car accident. His daughter, Meadow, was only 15 years old when she lost her father and has continuously made sure to honor his memory. While the American model is all grown up now, the 25-year-old

Jennifer Garner once called making 2004’s 13 Going On 30—which still totally holds up 20 years later, BTW—one of the “happiest” parts of her life. So, it’s not a surprise that she would take time out of her busy schedule to support (and roast) one of her buddies from the beloved rom-com: Mark Ruffalo, who

It’s always fun to hear about a new Stephen King adaptation in the works, as it perpetually gets the imagination cranking with big questions. Who will star? How will key scenes come to life? How will the new medium influence changes? It’s always exciting, and this week’s edition of The King Beat is happy to

Shrek, one of Dreamworks Animations’ best films, is about a green ogre who makes a deal with Lord Farquaad to rescue a princess in order to salvage control of his swamp overrun by fairy tale creatures. Believe it or not, while Shrek is obviously a cultural phonemon, the lovable ogre is also a hit with

The road from “professional actor” to “movie star” is different for everybody. There isn’t always a single role that marks the transition from one to the other, but with Brad Pitt‘s career, one cannot discount the importance that Legends of the Fall had for him. It was one of his earliest breakout roles, but it

Anybody who grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s is likely aware of the brightly colored stickers and school supplies designed by Lisa Frank. So it’s pretty easy to assume that there’s some nostalgia-fueled intrigue for the upcoming horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein. This movie with the clever portmanteau title puts an ‘80s twist on a

A Highlander reboot has been in development in one form or another for over a decade and a half, but the project has finally been making significant progress over the last few years. One of the biggest steps forward has been the casting of Henry Cavill, who’s had a lot to say about the project

When thinking about the ‘80s, there are three actors who immediately come to my mind-Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Carl Weathers. And while Schwarzenegger and Stallone are thankfully still alive and active, we recently lost the magnificent Carl Weathers.    As a movie fan, Carl Weathers’ death depresses me, but as a Black movie fan,

Unappreciated at the time of its release, despite being one of the best horror movies of the 2000s, Jennifer’s Body has become a cult classic in the world of horror movies. The screenwriter of the Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried-led horror-comedy Diablo Cody has returned to the genre with a new film called Lisa Frankenstein.
