If there’s anything to be grumpy about, it’s the fact that most of us still haven’t had the pleasure of seeing this movie just yet....

22% Said This Was Keanu Reeves’ Worst Movie — Here’s What We Think Warner Bros. By Vanessa Armstrong/Oct. 18, 2021 9:27 am EST Keanu Reeves has had a long acting career.

Nicolas Cage Will Never See The New Nicolas Cage Movie Where Nicolas Cage Plays Nicolas Cage SpectreVision By Kaylee Dugan/Sept. 16, 2021 9:21 pm EST Nicolas Cage is a man of mystery. His filmography is an enigma. His personal life, a labyrinth. His mind, a puzzle box. We may never completely understand his reasoning or motivation, which is what makes him the Cage we know and love. There’s something about the dichotomy of being so entirely obvious, and yet wholly ambiguous, that gives Cage’s performance a little extra magic....

Many remain closed due to the coronavirus, and the theaters that are able to remain open don’t have much to offer.

Succession Season 3 Finale Was The Show’s Highest Viewed Yet HBO By Sandy Schaefer/Dec. 14, 2021 11:03 am EST “Succession” season 3 came to an emotionally volatile conclusion with its ninth and final episode, “All the Bells Say,” this past Sunday. The bitingly satirical HBO dramedy series made leaps and bounds with its viewership gains between its second and third seasons, thanks in no small part to viewers catching up on the painfully funny (and, just as often, merely painful) dysfunctional antics of the Roy family after Covid prolonged the break between installments....
