Director Guillermo del Toro never intended for his version of Pinocchio to be a children’s movie, but that does not mean it can not be a family movie. Del Toro tells Variety that he believes Pinocchio is a film that families can watch and enjoy together, but it was never meant to be exclusively for children. Del Toro’s animated Pinocchio film is available on Netflix and still in select movie theaters....
Hayden Christensen is set to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, almost two decades after his last appearance in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. And fans are much more enthusiastic about Christensen’s return than they were about his portrayal of the iconic villain in the Star Wars prequel movies. Hayden Christensen played Anakin Skywalker in 2002’s Attack of the Clones and 2005’s Revenge of the Sith....

Beloved and revered, Judd Apatow has gradually become one of the kings of comedy over his thirty-year career in film and television. Apatow initially got his start in stand-up before shifting his focus to writing and producing in the ’90s, contributing to The Larry Sanders Show and both Ben Stiller’s Emmy-winning titular series and his film Heavyweights. Before becoming an esteemed film director, Apatow helmed the beloved cult classic shows Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, both of which were canceled far too soon....
The Office graced our screens over 15 years ago and it’s hard to believe it’s been so long since we were introduced to the beloved workers of Dunder Miffin. Viewers were captivated in particular by Dwight’s antics and fell in love with Jim and Pam’s love story. More than that, the series won five Emmys and had 42 nominations and proved to be a success well after the final episode aired, becoming a streaming staple on Netflix and solidifying itself as one of the most recognisable and adored tv shows of recent memory....
The story of Rotten Tomatoes is a strange one. The website was created by Senh Duong in 1998 as a way to chronicle and organize reviews of Jackie Chan’s films; Duong was a huge fan and sought to honor him after Rush Hour brought Chan to Hollywood. Now, it’s one of the top 600 most-visited websites in the world and one of the top 300 in the United States. All of this means that whatever Rotten Tomatoes says about movies has great traction with moviegoers, and when they rank a list of the top horror films, horror fans read it....

Set roughly 200 years prior to the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon depicts a time in Westeros when the Targaryen dynasty rules supreme. Yet despite their power, who will succeed King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) is a question that prompts internal conflict, serving as the basis for season 1’s fiery finale....
How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014) may not, for some, be as canonized as other hit American sitcoms, like The Big Bang Theory and Friends, that had a high global impact. It is, however, one of those critically acclaimed entertainment pieces that occupy a sweet spot in the heart of its followers for portraying the life cycle of human relationships in its purest form. Though the CBS series had its ups and downs while on air — mainly due to its controversial finale — How I Met Your Mother still manages to strike chords with its audience on many levels....
When Scarlett Johansson’s hit movie Lucy first came out back in 2014, the star was already riding high atop the success of the first Avengers movie. Fans of Johansson had been treated to her butt-kicking turns as the Black Widow, so she was well established as a likable action star by then, and had already developed her critical bona fides with films like Lost in Translation and Ghost World. When the first trailers for Lucy hit, seeing her in the role of another feisty, powerful butt-kicker in an intelligent sci-fi film stirred up much excitement among her many fans....
In the early 1980s, invulnerable alpha males became massive action heroes. These no-nonsense testosterone idols remained on the Hollywood pedestal for many years, with the action hero seamlessly transitioning from the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to the glorified ancient heroes of 300, Troy, and Gladiator, toward Jack Reacher-esque secret agents, and culminating as superheroes. Although the characters and gender roles of protagonists in the film industry are gradually changing, there is still a prevalent image of a male lead in an action movie as a big brooding asshole (let’s not forget the negative things Daniel Craig says about James Bond, like calling him a misogynist)....

When it comes to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn is essentially the bible when it comes to their movie appearances. For that reason it probably isn’t too much of a surprise that the director was asked to help out on Thor: Love and Thunder to ensure that the cosmic group’s appearance in the movie sat in line with their other appearances in the MCU. What is more, it seems that Gunn even asked for some changes to be made to the movie, and it seems that his requests were granted....
James Gunn recently posted an Instagram story that seemingly confirmed the return of Amanda Waller to the new DCU. The director posted a picture of his cat in front of his computer with the caption ‘Writing partner,’ and fans’ investigative skills made it clear that Waller’s name is on the director’s desktop screen. However, it’s not confirmed if James Gunn intentionally posted the picture to give the fans some hint....
