Romantic comedies can be very hit or miss, but there’s something incredibly special about those that have stood the test of time. The cheesiness of the ‘80s, in particular, provided audiences with an abundance of laughs, tears, and exceptionally sweet love stories—and still do! Not only were their soundtracks laden with some of the best songs from that era, but they also launched careers for a large number of Hollywood’s famous faces, includingMolly Ringwald,Nicolas Cage, and evenTom Hanks....

Not sure what to do for Mother’s Day? Well, if you want to avoid the brunch crowds and keep it simple, settling in for a mom-centric movie marathon might just be the ticket and we’ve got some recommendations to keep you in the Mother’s Day spirit. If you’ve ever been seated next to your mother in the wrong movie (Say for example,American Psychoat age 15, which I’m still uncomfortable about to this day), you know the value of picking the right film when you’re getting into a movie with mom....

It’s been quiet for a minute butThe Equalizer 2just came out of nowhere to drop the action film’s first images and poster.Denzel Washingtonreturns as Robert McCall, a retired agent turned hired gun, and directorAntoine Fuquais back at the helm as well. This marks the first time either filmmaker has done a sequel (The Sequelizer?) but since the first film pulled in nearly $200 million, it’s little surprise that they’re up for a repeat....

After a record-setting viewership of 83 million live streams at last year’s online-only event, The Game Awards will be returning to an in-person, invite-only ceremony that will be streamed live and worldwide from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California....

As a massive fan of authorLev Grossman’s brilliant, immensely satisfying, and intensely human fantasy trilogyThe Magicians, I approachedSyfy’s TV adaptationwith cautious optimism. The story follows the arc of a disillusioned young man named Quentin Coldwater, who discovers that magic is real and that eh himself possesses the qualities necessary to become a magician via the Brakebills School of Magic, albeit with many twists and turns along the way. I’ve written previously about my journey from being taken aback by the show’s sometimes significant changes from the source material to eventually coming to embrace and enjoy the deviations, and with only two episodes left in the first season, I’m beyond eager to see how showrunnersSera GambleandJohn McNamarawrap things up....

If you thought Season 1 of Netflix’sThe OAwas a mind-bending banger, brace yourselves. Series creatorsBrit MarlingandZal Batmanglijdouble down on the insanity and invention of their expansive story in Season 2, and the result is a show that’s bigger, bolder, and ultimately better.The OA’s first season was a surprise sensation from the filmmakers behindSound of My VoiceandThe East, and it sparked quite the debate over its final episode – a piece of cinema-meets-performance art that was at once gorgeous, emotional, silly, strange and well, a bit ill-advised in its cursory approach to school shootings....

Thirty years ago,Shane Blackturned in a short-lived but delightful supporting role inJohn McTiernan’sPredator, a cult-classic creature feature that starredArnold Schwarzeneggerin the heroic role of the musclebound commando, Dutch. Fast forward to 2017. Black is now writing and directingThe Predator, a sequel to the original film, and it sounds like he wants Dutch to play a part, with Schwarzenegger returning to fill the role. Unfortunately, that part was apparently too small and insignificant for Schwarzenegger....

The patriarchy is taking another hit. In today’s announcements of Disney+ Day, the streamer announced a slate of films that are set to premiere on its sister platforms Star and Hulu in 2022. One of those movies isThe Princess, an action movie that is coming to our screens next summer. The movie stars Emmy-nominatedJoey Kingand will be an irreverent story set in a fairy tale world.

Almost locked in a time capsule of a specific moment in entertainment history,Trading Spacestook reality television by storm. Two sets of neighbors are tasked to redecorate a room in the other’s house with the assistance of a designer and a carpenter. With no say over the overall design, the show varied from brilliant renovations to incredible eyesores that homeowners soon regretted. With ten seasons in its original run and a short-lived revival almost a decade later,Trading Spaceshelped define future home renovation showsas well as kickstart the careers of future design legends likeTy PenningtonandGenevieve Gorder....

Over his long and illustrious career as an actor,Tom Hankshas earned a reputation as one of Hollywood’s nicest people. This was enforced by his choice of roles inprojects such as rom-comSleepless in Seattle,You’ve Got Mail, andForrest Gump, andThe Polar Express. Recently, he shook things up by starring inA Man Called Ottoas an extremely grumpy man. But there was a time not so long ago when Hanks' career was largely made up of redemption stories for grouchy characters not unlike Otto, out of which his ultimate nice-guy persona was forged....

Open on a field of stars. A massive spacecraft drifts into frame with a chyron designating function. In it, we see a juxtaposition of mundanity and an extraordinary setting: shipboard table tennis, astronauts watching cartoons. This is the good stuff, familiar comfort originated from the originalAlien. This homage to space horror may be to the credit of a promising derivative likeSupernova, but it’s then too generic to distinguish among the early-2000s space craze....

Horror movies often grow their biggest fan basesbecause of their flagship villains. But what about the genre’s heroes?

Many people love Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) from theScreamfranchise, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) from her variousHalloweenfilms and timelines, and of course, Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) of theEvil Deadmovies. Tobe afraid of something, you also have to have someone that you’re afraid for....
