It’s common to see film directors not sticking around to direct all of the movies in the franchise they started out with. After all, director Catherine Hardwicke left Twilight behind after the first movie to film Red Riding Hood. Chris Columbus dropped out after the first two Harry Potter films as he found directing them

Everyone has something to talk about from last night’s Oscars. There was certainly a decent amount of joyous news, like the surprise of CODA being named this year’s Best Picture. Then there’s also serious matters, such as Chris Rock and Will Smith’s altercation, which is still being discussed and investigated by The Academy itself. In-between
Sometimes, the right movie wins Best Picture. It’s rare. Hollywood politics, strategic marketing campaigns, and weighted votes can lead to film fanatics scratching their heads at the end of a lengthy ceremony and going, “Really? Green Book? Huh.” But this year was different. This year, when a truly shocking and unpredictable Academy Awards ceremony drew
If you’re a big Harry Potter fan, then the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is probably a dream destination. If you happened to star in the Harry Potter movies, it seems like that could still be the case. Tom Felton, a.k.a. Draco Malfoy from the films, recently stopped by the theme park for a round
In the years since Reese Witherspoon’s Legally Blonde hit theaters, many fans have felt inspired to recreate iconic moments from the comedy. Of course, one of the standout scenes is Elle Woods’ Harvard University video essay, during which she makes her appeal for admittance to the institution’s law school. What made the scene so iconic,
So many Disney movies end with a “happily ever after” moment. The idea of a fantastical love affair may seem impossible to some of us – usually real life is a little more complicated. But it looks like at least one young woman has managed to show that it’s possible. Not only that, but she’s
The last several years have been particularly good for Keanu Reeves’ public profile, from his continued run as John Wick and playing Ted Logan again nearly three decades after the last Bill & Ted movie, to more people simply learning that he’s an all-around great human being. However, if you’re a Reeves fan and live
If you’re a horror fan, you’ve probably got your own list of favorites and most terrifying films. For me, Hereditary is near the top. Honestly, it’s probably up there pretty high, or at least present, for you as well (despite it’s low CinemaScore). Ari Aster’s emotional horror flick does a lot of things right, as
Florida, a.k.a. the home of Walt Disney World, is known for its high temperatures and humidity, making guests showing a little skin at its theme parks per the norm. However, the House of Mouse does have a dress code guests need to adhere to in order to enjoy all the park’s great attractions. Recently, a
Last year, the untimely death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins saw the filming of that Alec Baldwin starring western halted in the name of an official investigation. Recent developments have seen many legal proceedings progressing in the matter, including an ongoing arbitration that revealed Baldwin didn’t even know he fired a live bullet on set.
It has been more than five years since we saw comedic actress Cameron Diaz on the big screen when she signed on for the role of Miss Hannigan in Annie. Don’t be too bummed for Diaz, though, as she is embracing her new life away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood. Cameron Diaz spoke
It’s not super often that you’ll see a horror movie earn near-unanimous praise from critics, but writer/director Ti West’s X has earned that response ever since its midnight premiere last week at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. A throwback genre entry that is set in the 1970s and sees a slasher story play out a
Like a lot of celebrities, Vin Diesel likes to use social media to keep his fans in the loop on what’s going on in both his professional and personal lives. However, it’s been a while since Diesel last threw something into the social media landscape, though he’s certainly not the only major figure in Hollywood
Being the star of one of the biggest franchises, like, ever means that Daniel Radcliffe should be pretty used to people fangirl and boying over him, but it was his and his girlfriend’s turn recently. The Harry Potter franchise star recently worked with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum (and, interestingly enough, Brad Pitt)on The Lost
Harry Potter was an iconic film series dear to the lives of many, so it’s easy to just encapsulate those movies and their characters into a timeless little box where they never change. Of course, the actors and actresses behind them have grown up, and if Rupert Grint having a child made you feel old,
Nic Cage is doing some awesome things in Hollywood right now; in fact, the only person I’m more excited about getting a second wind in their career is Brendon Fraiser and the Brenaissance. Nicolas Cage was the butt of plenty of jokes after churning out a number of outrageously bad movies, but it seems as
There are only a few people who can say they are universally known and recognized simply by their given name. Zendaya joined the likes of Beyoncé and Madonna in this regard a few years ago when she was making a name for herself outside of her work as Disney kid. Today, she’s easily one of
The ongoing legal disputes between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have been full of twists and turns. With multiple lawsuits centered on the media coverage and public discourse surrounding their marriage (and the high profile nature of both parties’ celebrity status) it’s not a surprise that emails and text messages from many other celebrities have
For decades, the world has known Ice Cube for decades as a prolific rapper, a high-grossing movie star, and a successful media mogul. For today’s rap stars, his career has served as the blueprint for crossing into other entertainment ventures. As viewers know, he started as one-fifth of the seminal West Coast rap group N.W.A.
Long before Robert Pattinson debuted as an emo-inspired Dark Knight in the positively reviewed The Batman or Andrew Garfield was cast in The Amazing Spider-Man, they were young British actors just trying to nab roles in Hollywood. They would frequently run into each other during auditions and hang out with one another before becoming stars
