Robert Zemeckis’ legacy in the film industry is one that is accentuated by his ambition to advance the medium and attempt things that others aren’t even thinking about let alone trying. From the blend of live-action and animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit to the split production of Cast Away to his run ensconced in

While Sydney Sweeney has been professionally acting for 15 years and gained recognition for her starring roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus Season 1 (both of which can be streamed with a Max subscription), the last 12 months have seen her profile significantly rise on the film front. It started with the successful release

Like all of its predecessors in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus is full of squishy, splatty, and generally horrid bits of sound. It’s a key part of the cinematic experience that makes the new horror movie a throwback delight – and perhaps the only thing gnarlier or grosser than the xenomorph action on screen are

If you’re a major fan of ‘90s horror movies and psychological thrillers, you’re probably familiar with the big titles that dominated the era. The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, and Scream all cast long shadows over the landscape of what we consider the best horror movies of the decade. However, there’s one film that’s

If you’ve stomached The Substance, or any of the few other 2024 movies she’s been part of, you know how exciting of a talent Margaret Qualley is to Hollywood. After the 30-year-old pulled off one of the most terrifying movies that’s even giving the biggest horror fans on our staff nightmares, Qualley is staying close

While it’s been an exciting year of 2024 movies, we have also lost titans of stage, screen, and television. The unforgettable Teri Garr is one such legend that we have come to memorialize today, as the star of films such as Young Frankenstein and Tootsie, has died at the age of 79. Variety broke the

2001’s Shrek is a true animation classic. It was the first recipient of the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and is now recognized as one of the best movies of the 2000s. The movie would ultimately spawn sequels, two television specials, two spin-off films centered on Puss in Boots and even a stage musical. So

Stage musicals on the Broadway stage are an institution, and it’s become quite commonplace for movie musicals to adapt that material for film. While this sometimes includes offbeat musicals, the next addition to the genre will be the beloved mega hit Wicked. But even though a number of musicals won Best Picture, there are plenty

The 2024 horror movie schedule has been filled to the brim with great releases… but nothing has been quite like The Substance. I am a huge horror fan. I’m sure if you’ve read my writings, then you already know that. I love the best horror movies and TV shows, and I will fully support the

While Sony’s Spider-Man Universe has released a couple of box office bombs in S.J. Clarkson’s Madame Web and Daniel Espinosa’s Morbius, it’s been the Venom movies that have kept the franchise on its feet. The Dakota Johnson and Jared Leto-led films barely managed to make their budgets back globally, but both Ruben Fleischer’s Venom and

Speaking as a longtime horror fan, I cannot think of a villain who has unsettled me quite as ferociously as the Terrifier movies’ Art the Clown, and can’t think of any upcoming horror movies that’ll change that. Not because I generally get scared at creepy clown movies — at least, I didn’t before — but

Tom Hanks and Robin Wright cemented themselves within the history of cinema when they starred in Robert Zemeckis’ acclaimed dramedy Forrest Gump, which is one of the best ‘90s movies. While many were captivated by their performances, viewers also just relished the sheer chemistry between the two actors. Now, over 30 years later, Hank and

Although Sebastian Stan’s rise to fame began when he played Carter Baizen on Gossip Girl, it was being cast as Bucky Barnes, the future Winter Soldier, in Captain America: The First Avenger that gave him global recognition. Had history unfolded differently, however, there’s a world where we could have seen Stan play James T. Kirk

Fifty Shades of Grey notoriously has been one of the most NSFW movies on Netflix for a while, but if you haven’t watched it in a hot minute, let me just remind you there are a lot of sex scenes in a lot of locations across the three movies. Like in the Red Room. Or

With just about two months left on the 2024 movie schedule, it’s clear that the Wicked release date will be bringing a lot of audiences to movie theaters – when it opens alongside Gladiator II on the same day. Ahead of experiencing the movie on the big screen next month, the movie’s costume designer has

Gladiator was a huge hit in its day. It was that rare film that was both a massive blockbuster, bringing in $465 million worldwide in 2000, and an awards darling, winning multiple Oscars including Best Actor and Best Picture. It’s the sort of film that even a quarter century ago, any studio would have been

[NOTE: This review is partially adapted from my reaction to Conclave following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival] Arriving just in time for award’s season, Edward Berger’s Conclave can be likened to a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With its bevvy of respected and acclaimed stars and story centering on the Catholic Church, you

In a world where franchise filmmaking is king, making a new franchise isn’t an easy job. And yet, 10 years ago, Stuntmen turned directors Chad Stehelski and David Leitch came together and gave the world John Wick. The movie gave new life to Keanu Reeves and every entry is among the best action movies of
