A weekend getaway trip to Croatia ends up becoming a murder mystery in the newest Netflix movie, The Weekend Away. Sarah Alderson adapts the script from her book of the same name. Anyone already familiar with the book is at an advantage. More power to you if this is the case. The rest of us are coming in cold. Or after watching the trailer. You do you. If your like me, the casting of Leighton…

One could suppose that it was always going to come to this as AMC Theatres announced that they would move to dynamic pricing. During their earnings webcast, AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron said: “Currently, our prices for The Batman are slightly higher than the prices we are charging for other movies playing in the same theaters at the same time.” In previous years, AMC has increased ticket prices during the weekend. This is why discount…

Before Disney ever acquired Marvel, they released a superhero comedy of their own, Sky High, under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano) is the son of two superheroes, The Commander (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston). This comes with high expectations as he attends Sky High for the first time. It’s an airbourne high school for teenage superheroes. While Will is third generation, he is also a late bloomer because he has…

In response to the continuing invasion of Ukraine, Disney, Warner Bros., and Sony have put a stop on releasing films in Russia. While we’re just at three studios so far, I expect that Paramount and NBCUniversal will follow. It would make zero sense for them to not take action. I’m glad to see Hollywood responding this early. It’s a different situation than how slow the response was in the 1930s. Universal founder Carl Laemmle did…

Robert Pattinson stars as The Dark Knight as Matt Reeves takes on The Batman in a new epic masterpiece to grace the big screen. Let’s start with the most important thing first. There is not a mid-credits scene. However, the film contains an end-credits tag. Pattinson crushes it in the role. I know that many people weren’t sure what to make of his casting given the Twilight background. If you’ve seen Good Time, Damsel, and…

Friends with Benefits brings nothing new to the romantic comedy genre but it’s so much fun watching Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. Volcanoes in 1997. Planet-killing meteors in 1998. Friends with benefits in 2011. Funny enough both films featured the stars of 2010’s Black Swan. Mila Kunis’s Black Swan castmate was seen just over six months earlier in No Strings Attached. Both films were being made at the same time. It’s just unfortunate that there…

Dopesick actor Michael Keaton discussed massive inequity after winning for Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series. Michael Keaton started off humorous after running back from the restroom. If you’ve ever been to the Barker Hanger for an awards show, the restrooms are set up in outside trailers. It’s not ideal but it is what it is. Anyway, Keaton got political in his speech but he was breaking down by the end. If…

When Succession actor Brian Cox accepted the Drama Series Ensemble win at the SAG Awards, he spoke about both Ukraine and Russia. One other thing I’d like to — is — I think is important to me and I hope important to you, and I think as actors and performers and writers and directors, you will be — this is a thing that’s come to me about what’s going on in the Ukraine. It’s truly,…
