Wednesday is a rather fascinating spinoff of the 1938 The Addams Family cartoon by Charles Addams. Not least of which is that it's the latest live-action adaptation of that dark comedy franchise. It's not the first though. The original The Addams Family black and white TV series from 1964 claims
Josh Brolin has had a rather storied career in acting. Particularly in the comic book film business. Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans might recognize his likeness and voice as the one that graced Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and even earlier if you count his first
Happy Gilmore 2 is one of the most surprising of these recent rash of sequels to old films. No one ever expected a movie about a hockey player turned golfer to be popular enough to get a sequel...except for possibly golfers. Apparently, this sports comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan and starring
Marvel is planning to return to WandaVision with their upcoming new Vision series. Which is a bit funny, because that's not even the title of this upcoming series. It's just what everyone has been calling it in the absence of any official title from Marvel Studios. Fortunately, what we do know so

The upcoming Karate Kid reboot film looks like it's getting an all-star ensemble for its just-upcoming cast. An upcoming cast that just keeps on growing and growing as time passes, I might add. Which brings me to the film's latest addition to that cast, by the way. Please welcome Ming-Na Wen! Who
The last few episodes of HBO's The Pitt have been a whirlwind of activity. Though not covered here, the show ran the gamut from staff assaults to ICE's appearance. The latter was a prescient addition to the storyline given the current climate in America, and something the show portrayed correctly.
There was a time when the stoner comedy was a reliable genre, particularly among the coveted demographic of young men. I remember those late nights in the college dorm quite fondly. Up late working on a paper last minute, ready for the weekend, and a friend suggests ordering a pizza and popping in
There's a growing trend in cinema right now, and that is the trend of movies being fun again. Just a good old-fashioned time at the theater (or home since streaming accounts for most viewership these days) filled with laughs and action and heart that remind you why you go to escape in the first
