Monday’s 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards might as well have taken place in Wakanda, because Black Panther won all the awards and, arguably, the acceptance speeches. The movie’s star, Chadwick Boseman, took home Best Performance in a Movie and Best Hero. But he had a different hero in mind while accepting his golden popcorn for Best Hero. “It’s even greater to acknowledge the heroes that we have in real life,” Boseman said. “So […]
1. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," The Wizard of Oz MGM I know what you're thinking, "Seriously, we're starting off with the most iconic song of all time?" Yup. Apparently, MGM's studio head Louis B. Mayer thought the song was too sad, while other executives felt it slowed down the pace of the film.

With each passing month, the folks over at Empire Magazine elect a headline act to be cover star – think Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story– of their latest issue, and this time around the honor has fallen to Ant-Man and the Wasp. Yes, Marvel’s miniature sequel is poised for its big debut early next month – in the U.S., at least – and is said to revisit Scott Lang immediately after the […]
Casting eight female stars, all consummate scene-stealers, as master thieves in a gender-reversed spin on the all-dude Ocean's 11 trilogy? It's a smart idea – not to mention smashing fun. Yes, the plot has more holes than a wheel of swiss cheese and director Gary Ross (The Hunger Games) lets the script he wrote with Olivia Milch go slack in its mid-section, but odds are you won't give a fuck. Ocean's 8 is a heist […]

But luckily Wonder Woman 2 director Patty Jenkins and president of DC Entertainment Geoff Johns can't help but drop a few hints about the upcoming movie.

The Chronicles Of Riddick (2004) In The Chronicles Of Riddick, the bizarre incongruences and gaps in logic that often plague your standard-issue Hollywood spectacle have an unexpectedly enjoyable bent. In the strange sci-fi universe where Richard B. Riddick (Vin Diesel) is perpetually on the run from those who want him captured or dead, little makes sense—and it’s all to the film’s benefit. The 2004 film lacks narrative coherence or a satisfying story, […]
Marvel's foul-mouthed antihero learns to play well with others (sorta) in a sequel from 'Atomic Blonde' director David Leitch. Glance quickly at the poster for Deadpool 2 (tagline: "From the Studio That Killed Wolverine") and you might worry slightly. Look at all those characters, most of whom you don't know from the last film. Are you walking into the same kind of costumed glut that threatened to turn the most recent Avengers […]
After literally years of talking about it, it looks like another Rambo sequel is actually in the works. And Deadline reports that Sylvester Stallone is set to return, and is himself working on the film’s script. In this fifth installment of the franchise, a daughter of Rambo’s friend is kidnapped. No, not taken, kidnapped, okay? Very key difference. Anyway, Rambo, being the nice guy that he is, decides to rescue her. He ends […]
Not too long ago, the 14-year-old was “fangirling” over her favorite actresses; now she’s chilling at Oprah’s house and tweeting with Zendaya. Storm Reid, the 14-year-old kid starring in the $100 million Disney movie A Wrinkle in Time, has watched her life snap into a surreal dimension.
