Emma Stone just joined an elite group of actors who have multiple Oscars under their belt, but as of last year she’s also part of another exclusive coterie, the Saturday Night Live Five-Timers Club. Stone has a number of iconic sketches you may remember—“I Broke My Arm,” crying to Adele’s “Someone Like You,” or “Wells…

No matter how many movies they star in or Tony nominations they earn, celebrities still get stage fright just like the rest of us. In a recent interview with The A.V. Club, Oscars announcer David Alan Grier shared that he was certainly feeling the pressure while holding the mic to play the voice of god this past…

Bird Box, the post-apocalyptic horror thriller starring Sandra Bullock, was a sensation when it was released in 2018. It smashed viewership records, becoming the most-watched Netflix film ever until it was unseated by Red Notice.

Gina Carano doesn’t understand what she did wrong. Following a years-long controversy that’s currently awaiting litigation against Disney, the entertainment conglomerate that fired Carano over a series of social media posts that offended, well, pretty much everyone, the actor maintains that she was a victim of “one of…

Emma Stone and her Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos quickly identified each other as a couple of funky peas in a funky pod when they first worked together on 2018’s The Favourite, with their friendship being a fun talking point around Poor Things during Oscar season—especially since it culminated in Stone winning…

The Chosen’s plot may be mostly familiar, with the story of Jesus Christ being, if not the greatest story ever told, certainly one of the best known. The model, however, is new.

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins recently appeared on TCM and Max’s Talking Pictures podcast and dropped a surprising bit of news: Her Star Wars spin-off movie, Rogue Squadron, has apparently been un-canceled.

Even after all the strides of the #MeToo movement, we’ve seen example after perturbing example of exposed predators allowed to simply waltz back into their previously exalted place in society—even posthumously.

Though he has continued releasing music, Zayn Malik never fit the mold of a typical pop star—that’s one of the reasons he left One Direction in the first place.

Even movie stars have to take shitty jobs to pay the bills every now and again. Sydney Sweeney certainly does—she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022 that she couldn’t afford to take even a “six-month break” from acting because she didn’t have the funds—although she probably wouldn’t have used the word “shitty” until…

The Crowhas been resurrected, in both a literal and figurative way. The new trailer depicts the rebirth of Eric Draven (Bill Skarsgård), but it’s also the rebirth of the franchise. Brandon Lee played Eric in the 1994 film (and was tragically killed in an on-set accident), which spawned several sequels with different…

What is it with Michael Keaton and hitmen? The first feature he directed—the little-seen The Merry Gentleman (2008)—is about a contract killer, and so is this week’s Knox Goes Away, his sophomore film.

After nearly a quarter century on HBO, Curb Your Enthusiasm and its curmudgeonly star haven’t changed much.

It’s St. Patrick’s Day time again, which means only one thing for a lot of horror movie fans: Mainlining the Leprechaun films for yet another year. Yes, it’s a tradition, and for manyviewers that tradition still hasn’t lost its charm, but let’s be real: It’s not all there is.

A TV world without Girls5eva sounds dull as hell. And if it were up to Peacock, that’s the reality everyone would be living in.

Michael Culver has died. A veteran actor of both stage and screen, Culver had more than 100 film and television credits to his name, and an incredibly robust theatrical resumé —but is best known to millions, basically inevitably, for less than a minute of screen time in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back, in which his…
