Some of the most interesting characters for audiences to watch are those that have incredibly grey morals. Seeing characters that are realistic because of their emotions and motivations being something else besides righteous avenging or because “it’s the right thing to do” always makes for a more complex story.

It has also been praised for its acting performances from a star-studded cast including Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, and Jason Momoa, amongst Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin and many more, by critics and fans alike, who seemed to have been waiting a lifetime for this movie, especially after the film was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic....

Black Adam has been hyped to the max, not necessarily by Warner Bros. marketing department, but by the social media bombardment of Dwayne Johnson. Now The Rock has been commenting again on his approaching introduction to the DCEU as the titular anti-hero, and this time he has been teasing the possible inclusion of another icon of DC. Black Adam has been coming to “change the hierarchy” of the DCEU for a while now, and every time Johnson has uttered that soundbite it seems that the expectation on the movie jumps a little....

Each year, we see some of the industry’s most successful and sought-after actresses take on the challenge of starring in a limited television series. From Kate Winslet to Frances McDormand to Nicole Kidman, these massive film stars leaped off the big screen and onto the television in our living rooms to deliver some of the best performances of their careers. One of the most exciting parts about such a powerful actress starring in a limited series rather than a film is simply that there is more time for them to expand on the story and their characters, and delve deeper into the plot....

With everyone and anyone turning up at some point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is always likely that some actors who have previously worked together will find themselves starring along side each other again once they do answer the Marvel call. When it was announced that Emilia Clarke would be joining Marvel’s Secret Invasion Disney+ series, Game of Thrones fans immediately called for a reunion between the actress and her former on screen lover Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow in the George R R Martin series and plays one of the few human characters to appear in Eternals, which is now playing in cinemas....

Back in 1984, horror legend Wes Craven brought forth the founding film in one of the most influential and iconic horror franchises to ever exist, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Throughout the years, the series was a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, taking Freddy Krueger’s character in many different directions, though always portrayed to perfection by the great Robert Englund, regardless of the style asked. The quality of the franchise has been quite polarizing among the horror community, as many fans love the sequels, and many don’t....

Before the MCU expanded like we know and love it today, the X-Men cinematic universe stood as the most successful hero-group franchise. What’s more, spinoffs were in development and planned to center around individual characters from the franchise. One of these proposed spinoffs was to be focused on Remy Etienne LeBeau, who is also known as Gambit. Gambit is a mutant who possesses the ability to manipulate emery and make objects explode....

In the first years of what has become a never-ending climb toward ‘peak TV,’ Dexter was one of Showtime’s answers to the prestigious antihero protagonists of HBO’s The Sopranos and The Wire. It even featured Michael C. Hall, one of many great performers on the morbid HBO masterpiece Six Feet Under. Dexter, alongside Weeds, utilized dark humor and irony to tell stories about criminals audiences couldn’t help but love, except Dexter was arguably darker than any of the rest (at least for a while), testing the limits of audience empathy....

Jeff Baena has marked out a truly anomalistic path through the film industry. Beginning as a production assistant for Robert Zemeckis, he eventually became an assistant editor for the great David O. Russell. When Baena had a freak accident that resulted in serious damage to his cornea, he found himself on the floor of Russell’s house, healing from the injury, brainstorming ideas with the director into what would eventually become the script for the brilliant I Heart Huckabees....

One of the guilty pleasure flicks that I have in my collection is Starship Troopers. While the film wasn’t received that well in the theaters, it went on to success on DVD, enough success, actually, that an animated series, Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles, was spawned which was followed by the straight-to-DVD film sequel, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation. Those were all missing one thing, though: Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico....

In this exciting exclusive clip from the film, Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) is accompanied by the Ghost of Christmas Past (also Jim Carrey) as they revisit Fezziwig’s, home of Scrooge’s long-ago apprenticeship. To watch this never-before-seen footage, click on the clip below: Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (Gary Oldman) and his cheery nephew (Colin Firth)....

Beginning in 2016 with the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Warner Bros. attempted to recapture the nostalgia and wonder that introduced us to a world of magic, wizards, witches, and a fantastic story based, of course, on the books by J.K. Rowling. The source material was there, which may be why every one of the films in the Harry Potter franchise obtained stratospheric box office success and critical acclaim despite having multiple directors throughout the epic eight-film journey....

Actors that step onto the scene at a young age have some of the most exciting careers to witness. In fact, being part of a special project as a child actor can set the tone for the entirety of your career. Finn Wolfhard, a young actor who most notably garnered attention with his role as Mike Wheeler in Netflix’s Stranger Things, is one of those names. Wolfhard, at just 20 years of age, has made himself known throughout the entertainment industry....
