It’s awards season in the movie industry, and whether you realize it or not, there is a lively and robust corner of the internet that is very into such things and very good at predicting the winners. Some websites even go as far as providing credible handicapping of the potential winners based on precursor awards like the voting patterns of various guilds. That’s probably why it doesn’t feel like there’s nearly as many shocks at The Oscars each year.

I don’t know if you can fully wrap your head around the scope of this travesty, because we had basically gone more than 40 years without even conceiving of the idea that this sinister…

Film adaptations of Broadway musicals by and large do well in theaters, with a number of movie musicals winning Best Picture over the years. Following Mean Girls' strong box office performance, the next addition to the genre will be Jon M. Chu's take on Wicked. Although rather than being just on film, Universal is releasing two Wicked films, presumably allowing them to include all of Stephen Schwartz' music without making cuts. And Elphaba actress Cynthia Erivo recently shared her thoughts about why this is a good…

Image: LionsgateIn the early 2010s, the novelty of the original Kick-Ass movies was how they served as a naughty, meaner version of DC and Marvel flicks. If you ever wanted a preteen Robin-alike to shoot gangsters in the head or slice them up with a butterfly knife, you’d go to these films for your fix. But when you’re trying to make a comeback over a decade later, how do you make yourself relevant when folks are relatively used to psychotic superheroes thanks to The Boys?Rainn Wilson’s First Fandoms: Star Trek And…

After literal decades of fans asking for a sequel to Beetlejuice one has finally been filmed. Beetlejuice 2 details, as far as we know them, will see much of the Beetlejuice cast return and it will see the "ghost with the most" back on the big screen. While we're still waiting for our first look at the film in a trailer, a teaser poster dropped today that makes a brilliant reference to the original film, but it also reveals an official title which, while I get it, I don't love it.The poster shows Beetlejuice's hands,…

In 2009, the horror movie Jennifer's Body was released, but it was sadly a critical and financial failure. Not only did its star, Megan Fox, and her castmates receive a lot of flak for the flick, but so did its writer, Diablo Cody. However, over time, the movie has gained a cult following. And though there are many reasons to revisit Fox's film, one of the primary reasons is its feminist and female empowerment themes. Recently, Cody shared some thoughts on whether there could be a sequel and recalled the movie's…
