Monica Lewinsky joined Twitter and the trolls came out in droves

Monica Lewinsky spoke today at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Philadelphia. In preparation, she joined Twitter with one simple tweet: Her purpose now is to speak out against cyber bullying. She is, perhaps, the first known victim of it, an intern who suffered world-wide humiliation and has literally not been seen or heard from […]

‘Sharknado 3’ will touch down in D.C. and Orlando

Ever since Sharknado 2: The Second One hit the airwaves and social media on July 30, people wanted to know when the next epic battle between Ian Ziering and his aquatic predator arch-enemies would come. The question wasn’t if there would be a Sharknado 3, but when. When would we get more “Sharknado”? The other question: […]

Why Won’t Adam Sandler Host ‘SNL’?

Saturday Night Live has a history of welcoming back former cast members as hosts. Since 1978 — when Chevy Chase became the first cast member to host — 32 former SNL cast members have returned, with Bill Hader the latest addition. This season alone, three of the first five episodes will be hosted by former cast […]

‘Doctor Strange’ Casting Rumors: A Timeline

Earlier this week, Variety published a shortlist of actors for the titular role in the upcoming Doctor Strange film from Marvel Studios. While the film is not scheduled to be released until 2016, casting rumors have been milling around for almost three years, or two years before the movie was officially announced by Marvel. At this […]

Neil Patrick Harris makes the 2015 Oscars far more intriguing

We don’t yet know who the leading candidates are for the 87th Academy Awards. At this point on the calendar, many of the films that could be nominated for Best Picture, along with the possible nominees for the leading and supporting actor awards, haven’t even been released in theaters yet. (Although based on Argo and 12 Years a Slave winning […]

HBO launching stand-alone streaming service in 2015

Your days of pirating HBO programming by mooching off your parents’ or friends’ HBO Go password may be soon coming to an end. During a presentation to Time Warner investors, network chairman and CEO Richard Plepler announced plans for HBO to offer a stand-alone streaming service in the U.S. beginning next year. Citing 10 million homes that […]

Iron Man and Captain America won’t be buddies in 2016

Instead of teaming up with The Avengers to fight the bad guys, could Iron Man and Captain America soon oppose each other in a Marvel movie? Robert Downey Jr. was coy about playing Tony Stark  in a fourth Iron Man film while promoting The Judge last week. As it turns out, Downey knew he’d be donning […]

Marvel keeps anticipation for ‘Daredevil’ high by withholding details

This comic book geek is ridiculously excited about Marvel’s upcoming Netflix series, Daredevil. Batman and Spider-Man were largely my favorites as a kid (especially if you look at how much those two occupy my old comic book collection), but I’d always been fascinated by the blind superhero who got through life and fought crime based […]

Bill Murray is doing a TV Christmas special

Christmas specials are always kind of lame, right? There’s maybe a little bit of “so bad that it’s good to them,” with the gaudy sweaters, snowy cabin settings, mistletoe hanging, fireplace crackling, egg nog and brandy in hand, and of course, singing. Oh, the singing of those classic Christmas carols. Apparently, Bill Murray has an […]

‘The Walking Dead’ drew its highest-ever ratings Sunday night

AMC’s The Walking Dead continues to be an unstoppable ratings juggernaut… kind of like a zombie that just won’t die. But you already knew that metaphor was coming. Sunday’s season 5 premiere (Oct. 12) scored the series’ highest ratings ever, drawing an estimated 17.3 million viewers. That’s up seven percent from the show’s season 4 […]

Report: Dave Bautista cast as new Bond villain, Hinx

Coming off playing Drax the Destroyer in this summer’s Guardians of the Galaxy (in which he was surprisingly good), Dave Bautista would figure to be in higher demand. Maybe not in starring roles, but certainly for flashy supporting parts. That’s indeed where the former WWE champion is going on the big screen, as Bautista has scored […]

‘SNL’ Recap: New York’s Hottest Host Is Bill Hader

When a fan favorite cast member returns to host Saturday Night Live, the expectations are very high. Watchers expect to see their recurring characters and impressions that they loved, and they also expect an episode that will make them laugh. Bill Hader raises those expectations even higher because after eight seasons, Hader left SNL as […]

Video: Teaser trailer reveals some of ‘Tomorrowland’

What is Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland? Ever since the director announced his latest project, there’s been curiosity about it. With films like The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol on his resume, anything Bird does is going to attract a certain amount of interest. Add Disney as the studio and George Clooney as […]

‘SNL Vintage’: A Tribute to Jan Hooks

To celebrate the 40th season of Saturday Night Live, NBC will be airing classic episodes they have dubbed SNL Vintage. Airing during the 10 p.m. time slot on Saturday nights, these condensed episodes will replace reruns from the current season of SNL. SNL Vintage this week is scheduled to be the Feb. 13, 1993 episode with […]

‘Gone Girl’ is a wicked satire of marriage in 2014

Gone Girl feels like a movie that should go in a time capsule because it captures the current culture we live in so well. If someone wants to know 25 years from now what life was like in 2014, I’d consider showing him or her this film. That may say more about me than the […]
