Dog Review: A Feel-Good Tale Of A Man And His Dog United Artists By Danielle Ryan/Feb. 17, 2022 6:00 pm EST “Dog,” the directorial debut of Channing Tatum and “Magic Mike” franchise screenwriter Reid Carolin, is exactly what you’d expect from a feel-good road trip buddy comedy about a man trying to befriend a very difficult dog. There’s something to admire in the film’s beautifully crafted simplicity; it’s as if the film is nostalgic for the family-friendly dog flicks of the 1980s and ’90s — “Beethoven,” “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,” “Turner & Hooch,” and so on....

Harrison Ford And Helen Mirren To Star Taylor Sheridan’s Next Yellowstone Spin-Off, 1932 Lucasfilm By Jenna Busch/May 17, 2022 3:30 pm EST Talk about getting some heavy hitters for your TV series! Today Paramount+ has announced that Academy Award-nominee Harrison Ford and Academy Award-winner Helen Mirren are set to star in their upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoff series “1932.” That’s a working title, by the way, but since the last spin-off/prequel was called “1883,” it makes sense that we’re going with years here....

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with a feminine twist Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Despite debuting at #1 at the box office and receiving 3 out of 4 stars from Roger Ebert, “Heartbreakers” hasn’t exactly become a comedy classic.

Keanu Reeves Was The Right Kind Of ‘Maniac’ For The Matrix’s Leading Role Warner Bros. By Sandy Schaefer/June 9, 2022 8:07 pm EST Forget Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Penn, and Jared Leto. You know who really goes hard for their film roles?

Meet The Adorable Young Actor Who Plays [REDACTED] In Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/May 27, 2022 12:43 pm EST Warning: Major spoilers ahead for episodes 1 and 2 of “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” The first two episodes of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” has a fair share of surprise cameos and storylines, but none quite as delightful and sweet as the introduction of a young Leia Organa, played by Vivien Lyra Blair. While “Star Wars” fans were expecting Grant Feely’s Luke Skywalker to make an appearance, since he’d already been revealed in the trailers, Leia’s presence was a relatively surprising storyline to follow, which proves to be crucial in steering Obi-Wan’s (Ewan McGregor) trajectory forward....
