Amy Schumer is back on the big screen with her second starring role, and she's accompanied by Goldie Hawn, who is also making a long-awaited return to film after starring in 2002's The Banger Sisters. Their new movie is Snatched, is about a mother…

The new trailer for Season 5 of Orange is the New Black dropped Tuesday morning, and it's a much darker trailer than those for a lot of the past seasons of the show, which makes sense given how much of a devastating and compelling note the most…

The tale of King Arthur is once again being explored in a new film, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, starring Charlie Hunnam and directed by Guy Ritchie. Hunnam is playing the famed King himself, and though it's a period film, separating fact from…

There are a lot of layers to the new wrestling biopic Chuck. The film tells the story of Chuck Wepner, who was well-known for boxing Muhammed Ali and was the inspiration for Sylvester Stallone's character in Rocky. In Chuck, the focus is squarely on…

It was a shock to many of us when actor Bill Paxton passed away in February due to complications from surgery. He was 61, and had a new film coming out. That movie, The Circle, starring Paxton alongside Emma Watson and Tom Hanks, opens April 28 and…

The most comforting thing in the world is curling up and watching a teen movie from the '90s that you used to love. That era feels simultaneously like it was ages ago and also yesterday, and there's something so perfectly familiar and nostalgic…
