Month: December 2023

November 2023 is coming to an end this week, and as per usual, there is plenty going on in the world of Stephen King. In the last couple days, I interviewed Henry Thomas about his extensive history making King adaptations, learning some great stuff about those various projects – but there is also a fresh

These days actor Tom Cruise’s stuntwork in some of the best action movies is one of his major claims to fame. However, that wasn’t always the case during the earlier days of his career as he took on more drama than action (with the exception of films like Top Gun). So, it makes sense that

Poor Things has a stacked cast that includes Emma Stone in one of her best roles as Bella Baxter, so the project one of the most-anticipated films set to hit the 2023 movie schedule.

Released just two weeks ago, Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving has already established itself as another big win for the horror genre. In addition to the film earning the best critical response of Roth’s career behind the camera (CinemaBlend’s Mike Reyes delivering a four-star review), its low budget has allowed it to quickly become a box office

Nearly 15 years after The Blind Side earned Sandra Bullock her first Oscar, along with being a Best Picture contender, its subjects, Michael Oher and the Touhy family, entered into a public disagreement earlier this year. In August, the NFL football player claimed he was never adopted and exploited by the couple who took him

There is no genre more near and dear to my heart than comedy. The skills necessary to make others laugh — whether live and in-person or through a screen — are a unique and beautiful combination that should be protected at all costs. Some artists are able to do so without leaning in to touchy

Unlike many blockbuster 2023 new movie releases, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie is no CGI fest. The movie had its production designer and set decorator really painting all the hot pink of Barbie Land, and as one can imagine, yes, it required a lot of cans of pink paint to do so.
