For almost 40 years, Kevin Costner has been holding onto the dream of making Horizon: An American Saga. Initially imagined as a single film titled Sidewinder, the vision grew into a sprawling, four chapter epic that looks set to bring the western back to theaters in a big way. Horizon: Chapter 1’s debut introduces Costner’s

A double-digit slip in the Nielsen ratings notwithstanding, the Tony Awards worked their magic at the box office, with this year’s winners, contenders and show-stealers reporting big increases in attendance and receipts. Just a few examples: An Enemy of the People, Merrily We Roll Along and Stereophonic posted box office gains in the six figures.

One of Lifetime’s most powerful dramas that’s a real must-see, especially for Pride Month, is Prayers for Bobby. Based on Leroy F. Aarons’ book recounting the true story of Mary and Bobby Griffth, where a young man took his own life in the early 1980s after his devout Christian mother refused to accept his sexuality.

Wednesday is one of the best shows on Netflix, with one of those reasons being because of actress Jenna Ortega.

Most celebrities can hardly do anything at all without the public at large commenting on why said thing was good or bad or what their actions mean for their personal and/or professional life. Such has definitely been true for the relationship of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, especially with rumors circulating recently that point to

It’s Disney/Pixar’s weekend to lose with the third session of Inside Out 2, which is expected to do $55 million-$60 million at the domestic box office — and maybe even more. At the pace it’s going, many believe it will blow past the final domestic of Illumination/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie which wound up with

A 21 Jump Street/Men In Black crossover may sound like an idea that originates from a movie that is satirizing Hollywood, but it was a real thing. At the end of 2014, leaked emails from Sony revealed that the project was in the works, with the intention being for it to exist as a follow-up

As has been the case with every Fast & Furious movie aside from Fast X, which ended with quite the harrowing cliffhanger, 2013’s Fast & Furious 6 wrapped up with the good guys victorious. Following the defeat of Owen Shaw, Dominic Toretto and his crew went back to the Toretto family home in Los Angeles

You may know Tom Holland on the big screen with his Spider-Man Home trilogy as well as the Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room, Uncharted, and Cherry to name a few. But outside of acting, Holland struggled with alcoholism. As Holland’s sobriety went from two months which turned to six months, he explains why he

Kevin Costner is set to return to the big screen this summer with the first chapter of his Horizon: An American Saga film series. The upcoming films represent the realization of a dream for the actor/director, as he’s long been itching to tell this story. What seemingly makes that even sweeter for the star is

Angelina Jolie has been in the film industry for the past four decades, with her best movies including the Lara Croft films, Changeling and Girl, Interrupted, to name a few. While she’s already scored three Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild and one Oscar, Jolie is now the proud recipient of a Tony Award for

Depending on who you talk to, even the best Broadway movie musicals are already a hard enough sell in their most commercial form. And then there are the musicals that are a bit avant-garde, which only makes getting people to watch them that much harder. The films we’re about to discuss today are some of

Warner Bros brought twin tornadoes to CineEurope today, showing off an extended new look at the Daisy Edgar-Jones/Glen Powell starrer Twisters which the studio is releasing internationally.

After many years of dormancy, the parody movies genre finally seems to be making a comeback in its signature, cartoonishly over-the-top style. In addition to the latest upcoming Scary Movie sequel, another new installment of a beloved franchise of spoofs is on its way in the form of a reboot of The Naked Gun. However,

From its visual effects to its disturbing performances to its legacy as an early entry in the demonic possession subgenre, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist remains one of the best horror movies of all time for a reason. Appropriately enough, it’s that soup-spewing je ne sais quoi that has made it so difficult for other filmmakers

The indie box office roared to life this weekend as Thelma from Magnolia Pictures saw a hefty $2.2 million on 1,280 screens and Searchlight Pictures’ Kinds of Kindness booked a stellar $70k per screen average at five theaters in LA and NY for $350k — the year’s highest per screen average and best overall limited

Margot Robbie has found many ways to make a name for herself within the entertainment industry.

When you think about Norman Reedus, the first show that likely pops into your head is The Walking Dead. The actor has been playing Daryl Dixon within that franchise since 2010, and he’s still going strong as the character in the critically acclaimed The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. So, it makes sense that when he

I think it’s fair to say Emily Blunt has mastered the American accent. The British actress even earned a 2024 Oscar nomination for convincingly playing the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Kitty. But apparently Blunt has spent so much time in the United States that she’s apparently experienced a change in her accent. Well, at

Paramount went all in on Gladiator II at CineEurope today, showing off an exclusive extended look at Ridley Scott’s sequel to his 2000 Best Picture Oscar winner.

As you’ll quickly learn if you read our review of Kinds of Kindness or see the Yorgos Lanthimos project on the 2024 movie schedule for yourself, this movie is quirky, odd and wildly creative.

After knocking it out of the park with Poor Things last year, director Yorgos Lanthimos and star Emma Stone are back at the box office with Kinds Of Kindness from Searchlight, which looks set to shake up a sluggish arthouse market with the best limited opening this year.

When I first had the opportunity to watch Dogtooth in 2010, I instantly recognized writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos as a filmmaker with fascinating sensibilities and style, and I committed to keeping an eye on his work in the years ahead… but I never had even the slightest inkling that he would find what can be called

He has become, without question, the breakout star of the 2024 summer movie season. Dennis McDonald’s legendary character Reggie, first introduced in Michael Bay’s Bad Boys II, has become a staple of the series ever since. Normally, he’s on the receiving end of the ridicule dispensed by Marcus (Martin Lawrence) and Mike (Will Smith), because

Whoever wrote that the theatrical business is dead may want to run a correction as Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is potentially headed to a historic second weekend for an animated movie, topping Illumination/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie‘s $92.3M. Rival projections see $95 million for the second frame of the Kelsey Mann-directed sequel, while insiders see

The world lost one of its great actors yesterday with the passing of Donald Sutherland.
