While competing ona reality television seriesfor love isn’t ideal for some, as it turns out,Season 28’s cast had varying experiences being in front of the camerabefore their stint on the ABC series. One of the ladies works as an actor. She was not only in a superhero movie, but she’s in theOscar-nominated film,Barbie!...

Watching theDivergentmovies is like watching a loveless marriage between ideas and execution that will never truly come together. Buried deep beneath the tedious YA tropes, authorVeronica Rothstumbled across something interesting about how perceptions of reality can dictate societal control. However, the adaptations of her books have never seized upon this relatively interesting notion, and instead relied heavily on genre conventions, poor characterization, and lazy plotting to tell the same story three times: a young woman must save a society from an evil, calculating autocrat....

(Spoilersahead forAvengers: Infinity WarandCaptain Marvel.) There’s not a ton of new footage in the recently postedAvengers: Endgametrailer, but what’s present is there for a reason. Much of it has to do with showing how the remaining members of the title team are coming together to attempt to restore order to the universe after Thanos' snap. There’s the return of Scott Lang/Ant-Man from the Quantum Realm, looking confused as all get-out after what might be a lengthy time jump, as well as the return to Earth of Tony Stark/Iron Man and Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, along with the arrival of Nebula on Earth for, presumably, the first time....

No,The BearstarAyo Edebiriis not taking over thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise, but the fake report about her involvement had very real consequences. In her Instagram story, Edebiri recalled receiving “insane death threats” after a false story about Disney considering her as a replacement forJohnny Deppwas shared on X byElon Muskback in February 2024, with the CEO writing “Disney sucks.” She took the opportunity to fire back at Musk over the comments, blaming him for drawing attention and outrage by circulating the report to his followers while also referring to the X owner’s controversial hand gestures made during the inauguration ofDonald Trump....

The1980swere the golden era ofTV sitcoms. From the catchy theme songs that we still sing today, to the families that felt like they were an extension of our own, these shows captivated a nation both then and now. While they ruled the ratings four decades ago, we’re still able to find them today, whether it be for the first time, or to relive our past years. These eleven shows have stood the test of time and will live on for generations to come....

A great romance can fuel any great film. Look at cinematic classics and time and time again you’ll find true love at the heart of the story. Love comes up in all different kinds of ways, and as you’re feeling the love this Valentine’s Day by gorging on chocolate, flowers, and all the rest of that good stuff, we wanted to bring some films to your attention to enjoy on this pleasant day....

Let’s start by stating for the record thatBetter Call Saul’s second season has already established itself as one of the year’s best. It was not only an incredible acting showcase (I named three of its stars asTV Performers of the Week), but it improved upon its first season by not hingeing on absurdist plot points (though it did briefly at the beginning with Mike’s client). Instead, it was a breathtaking character study that found an unexpected hero not in Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) but in his co-worker and eventual romantic partner, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn)....

In the realm of sequels that no one asked for and which will likely do little good for the reputation for their predecessors, the upcomingBridget Jones’s Babyis right up there withSin City: A Dame to Kill For. It’s been about 15 years since the original, very charming Bridget Jones comedy,Bridget Jones’s Diary, first hit theaters and ended up being a bit of a sleeper hit. It was followed byBridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which is something no one, least of all me, wants to discuss for any amount of time....

It’s official, the next (and possibly final) feature film collaboration betweenPaul Thomas AndersonandDaniel Day-Lewishas one badass name. Set in high ranks of fashion, the drama is now officially titledPhantom Thread. If you’re looking for big news, that might be a little bit of a let down since that title has been floating around since June, but I’m freakin relieved. That’s a great title and it fits the film’s premise like a well-tailored glove....

The 2024 iteration of theToronto International Film Festivalis officially underway withDavid Gordon Greengetting the honor of kicking off the festivities with his new filmNutcrackers. It’s a big honor for a director who’skept busy across multiple genresover the past several years. between his polarizingHalloweenandThe Exorcistreboots and continued role producing and directing episodes ofThe Righteous Gemstonesamong other things. He’s since beenexorcised from the latter of the two horror trilogies, but the future still holds plenty of projects for him, including one that’sbeen on the back burner for ten years....

Sharon Horgan’sBad Sistersis about several things. It’s a blackcomedyabout a group of women trying, and failing, to kill a bad man. It’s about the insidious nature of domestic abuse and how the abusers gradually whittle down their victims. It’s also a show about terrible men (pricks) and how they uphold the systems that permit their nature. Above all, though,it is a show about five sisters, the bonds that bind them and the lengths they would go to protect one another....

Sci-fi and Romance fans, unite! The first image from the upcoming dramaAnother Endhas been released. The movie starsGael García Bernal(Cassandro) andRenate Reinsve(The Worst Person in the World) as pretty different star-crossed lovers. In the story, people who lost a loved one are able to implant the dead person’s memories into a rented body. Reinsve plays Zoe, the woman whose body is used as vessel for Bernal’s character’s dead wife. While the new image is not very revealing, it brings Bernal front and center and makes it clear that his character Salis obviously grieving....
