Today is the day when the word “empowering” officially lost any remaining meaning, crawled into a corner and died. In an interview with Hamptons Magazine (which we saw via Vanity Fair), Blake Lively said that working with Woody Allen was “very empowering.”

While promoting The Shallows, her (surprisingly) thrilling shark attack movie, Blake Lively was asked by People’s Jess Cagle about the potential for a second sequel to 2005's hit The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. “There’s a strong chance there might be a third,” Lively said, adding to rumors that have been around…

Just when you thought that “Mad World”, a song so stunningly emo had been so overused that, surely, somewhere, a film executive had held a metaphorical funeral for the preferred song of all sad movie trailers, it rears its familiar face. Here it is playing over the very self-consciously important trailer for American…

The majority of critics in the film industry are male, according to new research that confirms what we’ve known to be true in our hearts.

When I saw this headline, I zipped my cursor over and clicked faster than you can run into the kitchen and scream, “There’s like $8 of Jarlsberg in there!” The Devil Wears Prada is 10 years old, we’re all ancient, and its three lead cast members (Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt) spoke with Variety to mark…

Well, you guys went and gave a fish the biggest box office opening in history for an animated film.

If, by chance, you seek an excuse to spend the rest of your Sunday evening watching Empire Records and The Craft back-to-back, know that your pal Rachel has got you. Robin Tunney (aka Debra and Sarah Bailey, respectively) turns 44 today. Why wouldn’t we want to celebrate?

Finding Dory, the Finding Nemo sequel starring a forgetful fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, is on track to have the year’s second biggest opening weekend. You all love it, the talking fish.

The one thing that Dory remembers is that she can’t remember. During a flashback in Finding Dory, Pixar’s follow-up to 2003's Finding Nemo, we discover it was always this way, via a baby Dory with thick eyelids and red eyes that made her look like the cutest widdle stonder who ever took bong rips through gills. “I…

One of the latest Marvel casting rumors making the rounds is that Michael Barbieri’s Spider-Man: Homecoming character is based on Ganke Lee, who, in the comics, is the best friend of Miles Morales. Not regular Spider-Man, better known as Peter Parker. In the comics, Ganke Lee is a pudgy Korean-American who looks like…

Personal Shopper, Olivier Assayas’s new film about a young American woman in Paris who’s working as a—you guessed it—personal shopper while simultaneously struggling with the death of her brother, was met with plenty of boos during its premiere at the Cannes last month. Though that kind of response isn’t exactly …

I feel embarrassed to have loved Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping as much as I did. It was brilliant, stupid and incisive—exactly the kind of thing we like here, in other words—and when I finally met the trio at a press junket, I was unexpectedly nervous, and my tongue felt both too big and too dry. The only thing…

Captain Marvel has been one of the most-discussed roles in some time. Not just because she’s a great character, but because she’ll be the first female Marvel superhero to have a solo movie. Fans have tossed around dozens of names for the role, and now a true front runner has emerged: Oscar winner Brie Larson.

The last time we saw Mary Poppins, she looked a lot like Julie Andrews and was riding her demonic umbrella into the polluted London sky. The next time we see Mary Poppins, she’ll look a lot like Emily Blunt and will be descending onto the Tower Bridge to hang out with her good friend who looks a lot like Lin-Manuel…

Amidst the excitement over Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast, the titan of childhood whimsy has also revealed plans for a live-action version of The Little Mermaid—which would then be competing with Universal’s live-action Little Mermaid, starring Chloe Grace Moretz.

Ridley Scott’s Thelma & Louise was released in theaters on May 24, 1991, which means its been exactly 25 years since Geena Davis (Thelma) and Susan Sarandon (Louise) decided to “just keep going” and drive their Thunderbird into the Grand Canyon. But though the movie is probably best known for that tragic final scene,…

The miserably titled Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is a sequel in the most classic sense: the key players have all returned, and the setting hasn’t changed. It’s a retread with higher stakes. But even if you were a fan of 2014's surprise hit Neighbors, a follow-up could seem like a hard sell. This couple again?…

When shopping around for new viewing material, cast a skeptical eye upon IMDB ratings for things seen as “girly,” because there’s a good chance that opinions from dudes are dragging down the average.

When Kristen Stewart last collaborated with director Olivier Assayas as a headliner in Clouds of Sils Maria, she won a coveted César for her performance. She is also being lauded for her performance in Assayas’s most recent production, Personal Shopper, though the film itself has elicited some nasty reactions. In…
