Nikki Haley will be living in style when she returns home to South Carolina after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. The former Republican hopeful owns a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom, 5,699-square-foot mansion on an island that looks like a private paradise. Haley, 52, and husband, Michael, purchased the luxurious residence for $2.4 million in 2019, according to Realtor.com. Haley was serving as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations at the time, a post that she ascended to after previously serving as the Republican Governor of South Carolina from 2011-2017. Haley announced that she wou...

The Oscars are the unofficial conclusion to a year of movies. Yes, a calendar year technically ends on December 31. But for cinephiles, the year is not done until the thousands of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have their say, and name the winners of their annual awards. Only then can we all collectively move on to the new year’s crop of movies. But history gets the true final word on any and every film, not the Academy. Just because a title wins Oscars — even if a title wins the prize for Best Picture of the year — doesn’t mean it will graduate to canonical masterp...

Every sequel is a risky creative proposition. But there are two words that always make me nervous when I see them in a sequel’s title: Part Two. That’s because when you call something a part two, you’re telling the audience that you’re doing more than simply continuing the story of a movie people loved. A “Part 2” announces that the aforementioned story people loved wasn’t complete after all — and that you in order to see the full picture, you need to watch this new film. In some cases, that is actually true, like when filmmakers are adapting a book that’s so epic in scope they decide to break...

Adam Sandler has been a making movies for over 30 years. In Billy Madison, Billy Madison is only 27. (We are all so old.) After a very successful stint on Saturday Night Live, Sandler quickly found huge box-office success — although not always critical praise — headlining a series of comedies. That success continues to this day. He launched his own (also quite successful) production company, Happy Madison Productions, and cranked out films at a clip of one or two every single year. In 2024, he passed 50 film roles. (For a guy with a reputation among some reviewers as a “lazy” actor — just Goog...

Screen acting is a multifaceted discipline. It’s not enough for an actor to look the part. They’ve got to sound the part as well. And when they don’t, things can go really wrong really fast. “Sounding the part” has proven very tricky for a lot of screen actors through the decades, including some of the very best performers (with the very best dialect coaches) in film history. Below, I have selected 20 of the most infamous, the most intrusive accents in film history, and provided clips so you can hear them in all their awkward, clumsy glory. And yes, you’ll definitely see a couple Oscar winners...

Let’s be clear: Cinephiles, we want films to be good. We’re movie lovers! We love movies. It’s right there in the job description. Sometimes, though, things don’t work out. Not every movie is going to be a 10/10 winner. Or even a 8/10 winner. Or a 6/10. And when they go bad, it can go one of two ways: It might be a boring, sloppy, forgettable mess OR it might be such an epic catastrophic disaster that it twists back around to being kind of good. Or at least so compellingly watchable that you cannot look away. That is especially true of superhero movies. When they are good, they are fabulous. B...

With great power comes great responsibility … and sometimes great movies. (Other times, not so much.) As hard as it may be to believe, the Spider-Man film franchise is now more than 20 years old. Or maybe Spider-Man franchises is more accurate. What started as one trilogy of films by Sam Raimi has now been rebooted and re-rebooted, and then spun off into unexpected directions featuring characters tangentially related to Spider-Man as part of Sony’s efforts to turn their deal with Marvel for the Friendly Neighborhood Web-Slinger into a cinematic universe all their own. Most of those spinoff mov...
