Chris Pratt has battled Ronan the Accuser, Thanos, dinosaurs, and Bowser — is that technically another dinosaur? Whatever… But perhaps none of these classic movie super-villains were as formidable or as intimidating as young sister journalists Lyla (11) and Luna Polowy (8), who grilled the superstar actor about his latest gig playing the title role in The Garfield Movie, the computer animated update of the classic comic strip about a lazy cat who loves lasagna. Lyla and Luna didn’t take it easy on Pratt just because he’s a famous movie star either. They roasted him on the number of voice roles...

If you used to buy movies at the mall, it’s a lock you did your shopping at once place: Suncoast Motion Picture Company. Informally known as Suncoast Video to most of its customers, the chain was ubiquitous in malls all over the United States in the 1990s. The stores stocked hundreds of titles on VHS and later on DVD. They also sold music, and various movie and pop-culture related toys and collectibles. All the stores had the same distinctive red neon sign hanging over the entrance. If you grew up loving movies in the ’90s, just that logo alone will probably make you nostalgic. I worked in a m...

One of the most critically acclaimed movies of the summer isn’t in theaters; it’s on Netflix. (Actually Netflix is putting this movie in theaters for a week or two, which is a change for them. But mostly people will see it it on Netflix.) It’s Hit Man, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Glen Powell as a man who pretends to be a hit man and falls for a potential client. The film got great reviews at last fall’s festivals and was acquired for release on Netflix. That’s just one title out of dozens of new ones that you can watch on Netflix in June. There are new episodes of the That ’70s ...

Long the gold standard of the American animation industry, Pixar is, amidst some shakier recent history, now underdoing what is being described as “the biggest restructuring” in the company’s 30+ year history. That’s according to The Hollywood Reporter, which writes today that the studio is now in the midst of laying off “approximately 14 percent of Pixar’s workforce, or around 175 employees, will be let go.” They note that “before the reductions, approximately 1,300 people worked at the animation studio.” The layoffs had been anticipated for months, and follow various other cost-cutting measu...

Right off the bat: We don’t need more movie sequels in this world. We’ve got enough. We’ve got more than enough. We’re good. If Hollywood made less sequels, I would be fine with it. If they made half as many sequels, I would be delighted. BUT. IF we were to get more sequels — and given the state of the movie business, we are always going to get more sequels — these are the ones it would be nice to see. In some cases, they are no longer possible; actors or directors have passed away, creative partnerships have broken up, or too much time has passed since the original films came out. But all of ...

The MTV Movie and TV Awards have been axed for 2024. The ceremony, which first aired back in 1992, when it was called the MTV Movie Awards, is expected to return in 2025 with a “re-imagined format,” according to various outlets. The 2023 ceremony was pre-recorded after Drew Barrymore stepped down as the host amid the Hollywood writers strike in support of the Writers Guild of America (WGA). The event went host-less, and ratings didn’t suffer at all. The Drew Barrymore Show host, 49, was expected to return this year, and it’s not known if she will be back for 2025. In a statement issued to Vari...

No one expects Shakespeare from a Transformers movie. We all innately understand that a sequel to an already mediocre film will probably be bad; it will certainly not be a candidate for cinematic immortality. (At least not the good kind.) As the lights go down and the credits start to roll, we set our expectations accordingly. As bad as a Transformers sequel might be (and very often is), those kinds of projects are never as disappointing as a bad sequel to a great movie. There really might not be a more infuriating experience in the world of cinema than a truly terrible sequel to a truly epic ...

Determining the best film of a certain historical period is an exercise in futility; an attempt to find an objective answer to an entirely subjective topic. But let’s do it anyway! I find there are only two viable ways to approach this sort of thing: Either you pick your own personal favorites — which generates a 100 percent accurate list of an era’s best films according to one individual — or you look to a source where you can compare many different people’s ratings to at least get a good idea of a broad consensus. That’s why I like Letterboxd, where you can sort through their database to see...

Mrs. Doubtfirecame out 31 years old; long enough ago to be considered a full-fledged family comedy classic. And also long enough for the actors who played the central kids in the film to be all grown up and really make us take stock of our own mortality seeing them reunited in 2024. Those actors are, of course Mara Wilson, Matthew Lawrence, and Lisa Jakub, who played the Hillard kids in the film. After their parents Daniel (Robin Williams) and Miranda (Sally Field) separate, the kids get a new nanny: Mrs. Doubtfire — who is secretly Daniel in elaborate prosthetic makeup. At the time Mrs. Doubt...
