Kevin Hart continues to go on a “forward trajectory” at Netflix with his comedy-heist film Lift. Made through his production company Hartbeat Productions as part of his major deal with the streaming service, Lift is about when a master thief is convinced by his ex-girlfriend and the FBI to pull off an impossible heist with

Flannery O’Connor is considered by some to be one of the best American writers of the 20th century thanks to her sardonic voice, Southern Gothic stylings, and a wide range of characters, both beautiful and grotesque. At some point soon, those not all too familiar with the Georgia novelist, essayist, and short-story writer will get

The nominees for the 96th Academy Awards were announced earlier today, and Barbie, the highest-grossing movie of 2023, did quite well for itself, scoring nominations in seven categories. However, in addition to Greta Gerwig getting snubbed from the Best Director category, Margot Robbie was also left out of the Best Actress lineup. Now Ryan Gosling

You better believe I was yelling “Hell yeah!” when Danielle Brooks was included on the list of 2024 Oscar nominees. However, you also better believe that I was, in the words of her character Sofia, saying “Hell No!” when the 2023 musical remake of The Color Purple only got one nomination from The Academy.  This

What hasn’t this man accomplished?  We’ve already ranked Ben Affleck’s best movies,

In the years that immediately followed its conclusion and the decades that have passed since, the Vietnam War has inspired some of the best war movies of all time. More so than any other conflict, besides maybe World War II, the nearly 20-year saga has given audiences some of the most realistic depictions of war

Steven Soderbergh is a filmmaker who is known for being consistently interesting. He constantly pushes the envelope with his craft, whether hitting a home run with his directorial debut, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, writing and directing big-budget comedies like the Oceans 11 trilogy, or experimenting with making movies like Unsane, shot entirely on an iPhone.

There are plenty of what-if Hollywood casting calls. There are so many stories of actors almost cast in famous roles, but this one is a doozy. According to The Termiantor’s OG Kyle Reese actor Michael Biehn, James Cameron originally had a very different person in mind regarding one of the best sci-fi movies of all

Forget the body doubles, merkins and modesty socks. There are plenty of high-profile movie stars so committed to a project, punchline, or character that they’ll happily stand before the cameras wearing only their birthday suit. Over the decades, full-frontal nudity has become increasingly normalized in mainstream movies. It’s no longer the exclusive domain of NC-17-rated

Over a decade before 2023’s The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, The Hunger Games movies got their start with the star-crossed District 12 tributes of the 74th games played by Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson.

Hollywood is rampant with famous stars who go by names that are not completely true to their legal identities. Did you know Reese Witherspoon’s real first name is Laura?

Although the John Wick franchise was able to expand beyond the core film series prior to 2023 thanks to some video games and a tie-in comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment, last year marked its entry into the television realm.

A Walk to Remember, the schmaltzy Nicholas Sparks adaptation starring Mandy Moore and her IRL crush Shane West as star-crossed high-school lovers, is one of the most beloved movies from the 2000s. Given the resurgence of early-aughts culture, the movie has been experiencing a bit of a social-media renaissance. (For the record, should a modern-day

Actor Michael B. Jordan and filmmaker Ryan Coogler go way back, with the former starring in the latter’s first movie, 2013’s Fruitvale Station. Both their careers then got major boosts when they collaborated on the Rocky spinoff Creed, and they soared even higher with the Marvel movie Black Panther. Now it’s been announced that Jordan

The 2004 Mean Girls was a staple of sleepovers when I was growing up. There’s no way to quantify how many times I’ve seen the movie, but it’s enough to be able to quote the entire thing front to back without it needing to be on. Naturally, when this movie, that’s one of the best
