It’s been a few years since the public last saw Sega’s famously fast, blue critter on the big screen, but he’ll finally return later this year. In the meantime, reports have been swirling around

Mad Max: Fury Road may have focused on Tom Hardy’s incarnation of the title character, but it was Charlize Theron’s Furiosa who stole the show in the 2015 movie, so much so that a prequel about the character was greenlit. We’re now just a month away from the Anya Taylor-Joy-led and George Miller-directed Furiosa: A

Only four days into shooting the 2025 movie Mercy, Chris Pratt got a pretty serious injury, however, he seems to be handling it in stride. The actor took to Instagram to tell fans that he took a metal post to his ankle, and now he’s nursing quite the swollen wound. However, while the future is

Two of the people that are perched at the forefront of that moment are directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. Much like their contemporary and fellow V/H/S colleague Adam Wingard, these enterprising creatives have journeyed from indie horror

The two actors got together after filming Step Up together in 2006, and share a daughter together, Everly, who was born in 2013. While the two were legally declared divorced in 2019

Michael J. Fox is an example of an extraordinary human being. Not only has he starred in great movies and TV shows that have shaped his career, but the Canadian-American actor has done incredible work toward research funding to find a cure for Parkinson’s.

If you’ve been missing out on seeing magicians commit major heists on the big screen, good news, it looks like the dry spell will be over soon.

Steven Spielberg changed the film world forever with Jurassic Park, which debuted cutting-edge CGI technology to bring the dinosaurs to life. The franchise has remained wildly popular in the decades that have passed, with the original considered one of the best sci-fi movies of all time.

Emma Watson may have stepped away from acting, but that hasn’t taken away from how beloved she is by many, namely for her time playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies. But even with performing behind her, she’s still living her best life, which includes writing, directing and other work behind the camera. Now

Another star-studded movie is coming soon, titled The End.  When it comes to great ensembles, there are plenty I could point to that would be excellent examples.
