We may live in a world where mobile devices are standard, but over in the 1980s timeline of Scott Derickson’s Black Phone 2, one doesn’t always need wires, cell towers, or any power at all for phone calls to go through. So it goes for Finney and Gwen Blake, who once again find themselves wrapped

When it comes to cinematic transformations, few things test an actor’s patience like hours in the makeup chair. But for Jacob Elordi, becoming Frankenstein’s monster for his latest role wasn’t just a physical transformation, but also a cathartic one. And if you’ve seen the epic full Frankenstein trailer for the forthcoming 2025 movie release, you

Milo Ventimiglia went from one of Rory’s boyfriends on Gilmore Girls who almost got his own spinoff, to one of my favorite TV dads on This Is Us.

As somebody who dropped more than my share of quarters into a Street Fighter 2 arcade machine back in the day (and even a few in the original Street Fighter machine), I can’t pretend I’m not looking forward to the upcoming Street Fighter movie. The cast of Street Fighter is absolutely insane, in the best

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have been friends for a very long time, and she even said recently that he’ll likely be singing at her wedding. However, when she got engaged to Travis Kelce, she actually forgot to tell her friend about it, and she told the story behind it on The Tonight Show. Now,

The life of a Hollywood actor like Timothée Chalamet often looks pretty easy.

With two different Batmen set to appear in upcoming DC movies, filmmakers have some creative freedom in how they approach the character.

The Real Housewives franchise (much of which is available to stream with a Peacock subscription) has seen its share of legal drama. Many of those situations can pertain to the inner personal relationships amongst the leading ladies and their significant others or the corporate entities that produce the shows.

One of the most anticipated upcoming horror movies will arguably be the only genre release this year to feature possessed animatronic animal musicians, and I’m of course talking about Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.

Hailey Bieber may be a self-proclaimed nepo baby, but she’s made quite a name for herself through her Rhode beauty line — standing on business indeed!

Pixar has found itself in a similar situation as many studios, one where original concepts are having difficulty finding success with audiences, while continuing franchises, as exemplified by the massive success of Inside Out 2, are doing well.

Listen, if I could go back in time, my high school years would not be my first choice among eras to revisit. But I do love movies set in high school. In fact, when I set about putting this week’s quiz together, I was initially planning on mixing some TV into this crossword puzzle, but

Big Brother Season 27 hasn’t felt the same since news got out that Rachel Reilly was evicted due to a twist involving a Hamster Wheel maze first introduced in the holiday spinoff, Reindeer Games.

The viral press tour for Barbie may be long over, but Margot Robbie is promoting her first leading role since the summer blockbuster, and her looks are not disappointing me (even though she’s not going for method dressing this time around). The actress just stepped out in two fabulous looks while in London for the

It’s a big deal when actors do their own stunts and film their own action scenes. It adds a level of realism when you can tell the character is really the one doing the incredible thing. We love to see Tom Cruise do wild stunts and Keanu Reeves perform amazing action sequences. That said, movie
