  • How short films helped launch the careers of these famous directors

    A great filmmaker isn't just born one day, ready to make the best movies right off the bat. Everybody has to start somewhere, and the film industry is notoriously tough to break into. There is no secret to success, and there's no one method that will work for everyone, but perhaps the best bet for any budding director, is to dive into the world of short films. If a director can make one or two really strong short films, there's every chance that their path to Hollywood will open up. You...

  • Liam Neeson was embarrassed by how many people he kills in Taken

    Is there anything more embarrassing than killing loads of bad guys after they kidnap your daughter? Not the kind of question that runs through the mind of most people on a daily basis. When you're Liam Neeson though, the topic of kill counts becomes a far more relevant discussion point, as the actor recalls being embarrassed about the number of foes he takes down in 2008 thriller movie Taken. Continue reading Liam Neeson was embarrassed by how many people he...

  • Jake Gyllenhaal likes that Donnie Darko’s ending is so strange

    I should preface this news story by revealing that I consider Donnie Darko to be one of the best movies of all time, and will not be held responsible for how many superlatives I use to describe the epic time travel movie here. Donnie Darko is weird as hell and super confusing, but that's what makes it so amazing, and Jake Gyllenhaal clearly agrees with that sentiment.

    Josh Brolin - who has filled the formidable comic book shoes of Cable in the Deadpool movies, and of course, Thanos - was reflecting on the fact that he was almost cast as Batman when Zack Snyder eventually chose Ben Affleck. While doing so, he also defended George Clooney, who many consider to be the star of the worst Batman movie.

  • Michelle Pfeiffer is still the Best Catwoman, and here is why

    Gotham's resident femme fatale, Catwoman, has long stood as one of the most beloved Batman villains ever created. However, despite the multitude of actors who have portrayed this complex feline fiend, one latex-clad star stands above the rest. In 1992, the action movie Batman Returns hit theatres, and subsequently, Michelle Pfeiffer cemented her place in history as the best Catwoman to ever grace the big screen. Continue reading Michelle Pfeiffer is still the...

  • The Dark Universe was “biggest failure” of The Mummy director’s life

    2017's ill-advised Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise led to an infamous photoshoot and botched launch of what should have been a whole Dark Universe starring Russell Crowe as Dr Jekyll, Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man, and Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's Monster. Unfortunately, the monster movie was a critical and commercial failure, leading to the entire concept to be abandoned. Continue reading The Dark Universe was “biggest failure” of The Mummy director’s...

    Our favorite member of the Jurassic Park cast, Jeff Goldblum, said the world is welcome for his iconic shirtless scene.

  • Severance was influenced by this terrifying online urban legend

    We loved season 1 of Severance, the sci-fi series from Apple TV Plus. A sort of dystopian workplace thriller, the show's premise is simple. Basically, some office workers undergo an experimental medical procedure called severance that separates their work memories from their normal life memories. It's supposed to create the ultimate work-life balance but as this is a TV show our main characters soon uncover a deeper conspiracy behind the procedure. So where did the idea for this warped...

  • Yellowstone’s boutique scene is Beth Dutton’s defining moment

    Pretty much everyone in the Dutton family is a badass (apart from Jamie, who, let's just say, is very obviously not the pride of the Dutton bloodline). None of the clan are quite as wily as Beth Dutton, though, and there is no scene that highlights her badassery quite as much as the moment she comes to Monica's rescue in season 2 episode 9.
