We’ve had a massive year for movies in 2019 which have all given opportunities for a range of actors to win Best Actor at the Oscars. This is thanks to actors giving major performances with films like Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker,” Leonardo DiCaprio in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Robert De Niro in “The Irishman,” among a variety of other examples. But there’s a truly remarkable attempt at getting John Travolta – who made a bizarre appearance this year in a movie called “The Fanatic” – his own shot at winning an Oscar. It appears that there is an…

Now that Disney’s new streaming service Disney Plus has finally launched, fans are eagerly consuming all of the available content including the first of many planned Star Wars shows – The Mandalorian. Although the series currently only exists as the first live-action Star Wars series, Disney co-chairman Alan Horn has stated that there could be a movie if the show is successful enough. Alan Horn explained it all while speaking at Variety’s Business Managers Breakfast in Beverly Hills. Here’s what he specifically stated regarding the chances of a movie based on The Mandalorian hitting the big screen: “The Mandalorian is already…

One of the most exciting aspects of Disney’s new streaming service Disney Plus is that, for Marvel fans, it will allow an entirely new outlet for Marvel content. The streaming application will be the home for a variety of new Marvel shows, perhaps most interestingly an upcoming series titled What If…? which sees stories told throughout Marvel’s multiverse. The series is set to depict a plethora of Marvel Cinematic Universe characters – including the surprising inclusion of Tony Stark aka Iron Man played once more by Robert Downey Jr. It was surprising to hear that Robert Downey Jr. would be…

It’s not uncommon for movie fans to debate whether or not a film could be considered a holiday movie. For example, Die Hard is most commonly considered a Christmas movie by some fans – and Gremlins is another, albeit more obvious, argument from moviegoers of a Christmas movie. Now it seems like fans have taken on similar debates regarding Marvel’s Iron Man 3 – and it turns out Disney Plus might have just taken a side. In the film Iron Man 3, there are several Christmas references which fans have taken as indications for why the film is in fact…

The television series South Park has been a successful satire of politics and society among other things for decades. Now it looks like the series has taken on the task of including transgender athletes in sport. The series utilized the concept in the seventh episode of its twenty-third season. The episode was titled “Board Girls” and premiered on Wednesday. In order to create their transgender character, which they named Heather Swanson, they used real life Macho Man Randy Savage as inspiration. And, if it wasn’t obvious, the character was designed to make light of transgender athletes who attempt competing against…

Director M. Night Shyamalan is still working his way through Hollywood, following up his recent release Glass with an upcoming Apple TV+ original series titled Servant. The show takes advantage of most viewers’ inherent fear of creepy dolls to introduce the Reborn Doll, which you can see in the new trailer down below. It’s an eerily realistic interpretation that seems to have put most other creepy baby dolls to shame. The new trailer for Servant depicts the creation of the Reborn Doll, which a couple receives after losing the life of their own child named Jericho. The doll is intended…

One of the most massive horror franchises in recent years began with The Conjuring. The successful horror film directed by James Wan has so far spawned one direct sequel and a plethora of spin-offs, including an entire trilogy of Annabelle movies. But that’s no where near the end for the horror film series, and The Conjuring 3 will soon be on the way. While fans were lucky enough to have seen Ed and Lorraine Warren appear in this year’s Annabelle Comes Home, it’s The Conjuring 3 that everyone has been asking for. And, finally, star Patrick Wilson who plays Ed…

One of the most interesting perks that being a Disney Plus subscriber has is that you’ll receive access to the near entirety of The Simpsons. While some fans are excited to watch some of their favorite episodes of the hit series, others are disappointed, as it turns out the show hasn’t been presented in the best way possible. It turns out that The Simpsons episodes from before 2009 have been cropped. The Simpsons was originally produced in a 4:3 aspect ratio which has since been altered and cropped to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. While it may not seem like…

It’s been 15 years since the first SpongeBob SquarePants movie hit theaters, and 4 years since the second one titled The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was released. And because the second film made a whopping $325 million worldwide, it makes sense that Paramount has announced a third film based on the hit Nickelodeon series titled The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. And today brings us the first official Sponge on the Run trailer – check it out down below! It’s worth noting that this movie will be the first SpongeBob movie animated entirely with CGI. It’ll be…

One of the more frequently active horror franchises in recent years has been the Insidious franchise. The original movie has spawned a series of three sequels which have all expanded upon the lore and ideas initiated in the first film. Now even though it’s only been a year since fans were lucky enough to get Insidious 4, many are wondering whenever we can expect Insidious 5. According to actress Lin Shaye, who plays the character Elise Rainer, we can in fact expect another Insidious film as she gives her update on Insidious 5. As she explained… “The answer is yes.…
