With No Time to Die’s ending having wrapped up Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond, the James Bond franchise itself remains in a holding pattern.

Among that clique is also Jennifer Garner,

Over the course of the past five years or so, Molly Gordon has become one of the most noticeable rising stars in film and TV. With roles in everything from tongue-in-cheek comedies like Theater Camp to Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, (which was given the axe), the actress, screenwriter and director has

Remember the Divergent movies? Not only did the dystopian book adaptations bring a ton of young talent like Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Miles Teller to the big screen, it also enlisted the great talents of some established actors, especially with Kate Winslet being cast as one main Divergent villain, Jeanine Matthews. Spoiler alert: Jeanine

Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon is now playing in theaters. How will it do alongside the second weekend of Taylor Swift’s massive The Eras Tour movie?

Gwyneth Paltrow has been enjoying a new chapter in her life ever since happily retiring from acting three years ago. While dedicating herself to her new role as the founder of her wellness company Goop, Paltrow has still been making headlines outside of acting.

For quite some time, there have been actors who not only bring movies to life by acting on the big screen but also play a major role in crafting the stories. Over the years, multiple Best Picture winners have been written by talented thespians, who also happen to be accomplished wordsmiths. From stars who’ve pieced

Hocus Pocus remains a Halloween season staple as it celebrates its 30th anniversary this spooky season. One of the season’s most beloved not-so-scary witch movies isn’t without a rather dark premise though. It revolves around the hilarious Sanderson sisters as they scramble to suck the soul of at least one child in order to save

The Silence of the Lambs is a cinematic classic and a great movie to watch this time of the year. Whether or not it’s a true horror film is an entirely different story, and one I’ve wrestled with after having recently viewed it. There might have been a point where this movie meshed well with
