Release dates for some of the year’s biggest movies could be getting a massive rejig. With the back-to-back-to-back release of Barbie, Oppenheimer and the new Mission Impossible, you’d be forgiven for thinking that 2023’s biggest movies have now officially come and gone. But the rest of the year still has plenty of big releases up […]

It is hard to imagine Pulp Fiction without Sam Jackson as Jules. Samuel L.

The concept is simple: Future robots versus dinosaurs! In much the same way that anything described by a hyperactive 6-year-old on too much sugar can be, Exoprimal can be confusing, difficult to follow, completely all over the place… but it sure sounds like whatever is happening could be a lot of fun. Set in the […]

Subscribers will need to decide between paying more for Netflix with no ads, or paying less for Netflix with ads every hour.

Cillian Murphy is practically guaranteed a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer. It takes 45 minutes or so for Oppenheimer to get good. During that first act, writer/director Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic of the “Father of the Atomic Bomb” feels more than a little off-balance. Initially, it feels like scenes […]

Unbelievably, there was a time when Ryan Reynolds was practically considered box office poison. In 2013, poor Ryan Reynolds just couldn’t get a break. Sure, he had successfully managed to break into the romantic comedy genre – 2002’s Van Wilder, 2005’s Just Friends, 2008’s Definitely Maybe, 2009’s The Proposal. But every time he tried to […]

There are paycheques… and then there are PAYCHEQUES. When it comes to getting paid for acting, there are usually two ways it is done. The first is being paid everything up front, which is becoming more and more prevalent in the days of streaming movies. And the second is being paid some up front, but […]

It can not be overstated how big a hit There’s Something About Mary was when it was released.

The documentary is written and directed by an Irish filmmaker.

It genuinely sounds like something out of an episode of Black Mirror. AI is one of the two central issues of the just-begun actors’ strike, with the other being proper residual payments from shows and movies shown on streaming services, as things like Netflix and Prime Video didn’t even exist the last time the actors […]

The full list of things that actors can’t do during the strike is actually HUGE.

It takes a special kind of bad to make some of Hollywood’s biggest names essentially quit the business.

Everything about this movie should not have worked. In July 2002, a movie arrived in cinemas, by the name of The Country Bears. It was based on a much-loved Disney theme park attraction, and it featured Christopher Walken and Haley Joel Osmond.

There have been so many stories about this Batman movie, we thought it might only be a myth. You might not think it, considering how popular Batman is and how beloved his movies are, but not every movie to do with the Dark Knight is an automatic slam dunk. Just think of 2017’s Justice League, […]
