Getting political with his comedy has come with a price. Over the past several years, Jimmy Kimmel has been one of many late-night television hosts who’ve often criticized former president Donald Trump. Certainly, he must have expected that he would lose the support of many Trump voters, but perhaps not to the extent of losing half of his fan base. In a new interview with the Naked Lunch podcast (per THR), Kimmel touched on his constant criticism of Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live!...

Jurassic World: Dominion may not have struck a chord with critics but as the fifth highest-grossing movie of the year after just one week on release, it seems that audiences don’t care and just want to see dinosaurs back on the big screen.

According to the stats, along with 17 types of dinosaur making a return in the movie, there were an additional 10 that made their debut in the movie....

The Good Once again, this show hit it out of the park with another fun season. The Bad I wanted more Finnerty family featurettes. Grounded for Life: Season 3 sadly only contains 13 episodes. Well, that is 13 episodes of the season proper. It does offer the 2 never seen episodes “Oh, What A Knight” and “Part-Time Lover,” that I decided to mention here rather than in the extras section because I don’t really consider these extras....

Even under the best of circumstances, hospitals are typically an uncomfortable place to be. The sterile environment, the smell of formaldehyde or cheap lemon air fresheners, and the associations with medicine and trauma can be a little overstimulating.

Unfortunately for Jonathan Rhys Meyers, he’s going to find himself involuntarily committed to a hospital he can’t leave in Paramount’s latest psychological thriller movie, Disquiet....
