We always love a guy who can laugh at himself and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Fortunately, Scott Stapp now seems to be in that good place after enduring a rather disturbing public breakdown over the past couple of years. With the movie Creed being released in theaters on Wednesday (Nov. 25), there have been […]

The Matthew McConaughey who hosted Saturday Night Live in 2003 was a different person. The McConaissance was still 10 years away and he was there to promote How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the latest in a string of romantic comedies that led to the Texan being typecast and ultimately, a change in […]

The digital revolution isn’t coming; it’s been here for a while. For many, the decision to watch a movie or TV show hinges on whether they can find it on streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Video. Now, each service is making sure that we can ONLY see shows and movies on their service by producing their own […]

It’s a good year in film when you see a movie that affirms everything you love about the artform. Riveting story, great writing, strong direction and excellent acting from the cast. When every aspect of a film come together to create a work that is exceptional, it’s a reminder of why we love movies, why […]

With so many sites devoting coverage to culture and film these days, it’s difficult to be taken by surprise. But I’d never heard of Gods of Egypt, an upcoming movie starring Gerard Butler (300) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), and directed by Alex Proyas. In the mid-to-late-90s, based on The Crow and Dark City, […]

It’s always fun to have a night filled with laughter by some of the most well known comedians; it’s an even added benefit when it’s for a good cause. That’s the case this week when Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer hosts Baby Buggy’s 15th anniversary celebration, an event created by Jerry’s wife, Jessica. Baby Buggy […]

Christopher Nolan’s Memento is only 15 years old, but that’s apparently a long enough period for a remake to be considered. Yes, seriously — a remake of Nolan’s 2000 film is soon to be in development, according to The Hollywood Reporter. International production group AMBI Pictures recently acquired the rights to 400 movies from Exclusive […]

After the hoopla of last week’s Donald Trump episode, Saturday Night Live returned to normal with first-time host Elizabeth Banks. This episode felt looser and less tense, which was most likely helped by having a seasoned comedic actor like Banks as host, and not a presidential candidate prone to calling people “loser.” Through five episodes […]

Spoiler Warning: If you have not yet seen the latest James Bond film, Spectre, you may want to hold off on reading this until after you’ve done so. I would argue the spoiler is minimal and possibly inconsequential. But if you want to go in fresh, come back and see us later. (Or please check out our […]

With 10 days until Netflix debuts its second Marvel series, Jessica Jones, the network has released a second trailer. The first one, released three weeks ago after a variety of teaser videos and images, set the dark tone for the series, making it clear this show was taking place in the same world as Daredevil. […]

Media consumption is now a niche-based activity. Whether it’s television, online or print, if we don’t like the way something is presented or the lens through which it’s packaged, we find a different website, change the channel or put away the newspaper. Sometimes this is for our benefit. Why listen to film a critic with different […]

Enough has been written about Donald Trump’s appearance on Saturday Night Live during the past week that I’m not going to add another take on whether he should have hosted or not. We know why SNL would want Trump (ratings), and we know why Trump would want to host (ego), so it makes perfect sense for […]

Going into Spectre, I wondered if critics and media had already decided how they felt about this film beforehand. Almost all of the advance coverage seemed to focus on who would play James Bond after Daniel Craig. Craig certainly didn’t help matters by saying in an interview that he’d “rather slash his wrists” than play Bond […]

It’s been nearly three weeks since the third — and presumably final — trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted during halftime of Monday Night Football, so you might think there wasn’t that much more to show audiences without giving away too much from the movie. But apparently, there was just a bit more, at […]
