Before Robert Pattinson stole the spotlight or Christian Bale whispered in a deep growl, Michael Keaton was rocking the Bat-suit in the ‘90s. Appearing in two of Tim Burton’s Batman movies, Keaton packed his films with bat gadgets, high-octane actions, and a bit of behind-the-scenes drama.

Yep, turns out, Michael Keaton made quite the scene during the production of the 1992 movie Batman Returns. Why? Because Keaton was unwilling to cast Michelle Pfeiffer in the role of Catwoman—who Fyi slayed and lowkey turned on Danny DeVito, with her iconic leather catsuit. But what was the tea between Keaton and Pfeiffer that led the actor to oppose her casting?

Michael Keaton disapproved of Michelle Pfeiffer’s casting as Catwoman in Batman Returns

If you thought that only Robert Pattinson’s The Batman is plagued with behind-the-scenes delays and controversies, then you need to reconsider your opinions. Because as it turns out,...

Francis Ford Coppola’s never been one to play it safe, but his demand on the set of The Outsiders took things to a whole new level. In one of the film’s most intense sequences, what was meant to be a carefully choreographed blaze quickly spiraled into a genuine hazard.

Crew members were reportedly on edge, and the set turned chaotic. The 71%-rated film still holds its iconic status, but that one moment almost burned more than just the scene.

Francis Ford Coppola literally lit The Outsiders on fire. During the intense church-burning scene, Coppola shouted for “more fire,” pushing for realism. But that craving nearly sparked disaster when the controlled flames flared up into a real hazard.

The leading actor from The Spectacular Spider-Man shared new insight into how Disney sabotaged the fan-favorite '90s web-slinger series. The series had a two-season run in the late 2000s on The CW and Disney Xd, but even with all the success it garnered from Marvel fans, it could have been so much more if decisions had been made differently.

Spider-Man star Josh Keaton spoke out on how Disney sabotaged the efforts of The Spectacular Spider-Man during its run on TV. Keaton earned massive praise for his work as Peter Parker in this animated series. However, he saw the inner workings behind the scenes and realized how the show's parent company put forth little effort into helping it succeed.

Speaking with voice acting legend Jim Cummings on the Toon'd In podcast, Keaton explained how the show was cut short, as it aired near the time when "Disney was going to buy Marvel.

You may not find a more popular modern superhero than Tom Holland's Spider-Man. The webslinger was already insanely popular before he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe but Holland's arrival in the juggernaut franchise gave fans all over the world the moment that they had been longing for. From there, a new, even more successful chapter of that legacy could begin.

The star has now played the wall-crawler in the McU's Spider-Man: Homecoming trilogy, along with appearances in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The character hasn't been seen since 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home but he is set to return in 2026's Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

And yet, it turns out that he could have made a comeback much, much sooner than that if some of Sony's original plans had played out. Although Marvel Studios always had plans for him, Sony owns the movie rights to the character,...

George Wendt is being honored in a variety of tributes and statements following his death this Tuesday. Though Wendt appeared in many movies and TV shows throughout his career, including Gung Ho, Spice World, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, he was by far most famous for playing everyman barfly Norm Peterson in the cast of Cheers, the hit NBC sitcom. Wendt died on May 20, 2025, at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 76.

There has been an outpouring of tribute statements to George Wendt, particularly from his Cheers co-stars. Social media has also been flooded with posts honoring the late actor, particularly from those who had worked with Wendt in the past, and even the bar that inspired Cheers itself.

2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opened by revisiting the fateful night Thomas and Martha Wayne were gunned down in Crime Alley. However, perhaps the biggest surprise for fans was seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan playing the iconic DC Comics couple.

They'd both starred in Supernatural (without ever sharing the screen) and later crossed paths in The Walking Dead. With two fairly noteworthy actors cast as Thomas and Martha, fans hoped that the planned Flashpoint movie would feature Morgan and Cohan as Batman and The Joker.

In the Flashpoint comic book, Barry Allen creates a new reality after travelling back in time to save his mother from the Reverse-Flash. Among the changes was Bruce Wayne being gunned down in front of his parents. That led to Thomas becoming Batman, and Martha being transformed into a twisted new version of The Joker.

In a new interview, Morgan...

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Ott Verdict Week 2( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega’s collaboration, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, one of the box office successes from last year, is streaming on Netflix. It arrived on the streaming platform on May 6 and is gradually moving up. The film debuted at #10 and, despite fewer views than its debut week, the sequel moved two spots. Keep scrolling for more.

It is the sequel to his and Michael Keaton’s breakthrough film, Beetlejuice, which was released in 1988. Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O’Hara reprised their roles from the Og film alongside a dynamic new cast featuring Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega, and Willem Dafoe. It was one of the top 15 highest-grossing films of last year, collecting $451.9 million in its global run.

It's showtime! Last year, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice took the box office and pop culture by storm. The long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 horror comedy classic was a welcome return to old-school genre filmmaking. It also saw Michael Keaton put on the iconic striped suit again. With it, another all-time wacky performance from the actor. Now, Neca has unveiled their latest figure for The Ghost With the Most.

Based on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and a part of Neca’s Ultimate seven-inch scale horror figure line, this figure sees Beetlejuice in his red wedding tuxedo. The figure also comes with a Neitherworld full of accessories. This includes interchangeable faceplates and hands, a heart, a bloody baby Beetlejuice, and a marriage certificate signed by Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder). This now joins Neca’s ever-growing Beetlejuice collection that includes action figures, Tooney Terror figures, and Head Knockers. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice reignited the franchise’s merchandising blitz last year.

If you are a Marvel fan, it is common knowledge that Mark Ruffalo is not to be trusted when it comes to promotional stuff. Only slightly better than the ‘mega spoiler’ Tom Holland, Ruffalo has had a history of spoiling MCU films during press tours and more.

If the DC faction has somebody equivalent to Ruffalo, it is the legend Michael Keaton, who starred in the 1989 film Batman. The actor infamously committed a Ruffalo-level mistake when he spoiled the plot of the film a night before the film’s premiere.

Michael Keaton debuted as the Dark Knight in the 1989 film Batman. Well, the film was a success, and today he is known for portraying one of the best live-action versions of the DC hero.

Dceu started out as a largely ambitious idea to replicate the success of the rival MCU. Warner Bros. came up with a decade-long plan to bring to the big screen some of the most iconic characters from the DC comic universe.

While the movies were profitable, the audiences disliked Snyder’s darker take on the characters and it was eventually disbanded with Gunn’s newly rebooted Dcu put in place. While some movies were considered to be disasters, Dceu did give us some timeless superhero hits. Due to this reason alone, fans gathered on Ranker to vote for the 10 best Dceu movies, so, let’s check them out.

Netflix has quite a queue of stellar comedies available right now.

The streaming giant has a constant carousel of rotating titles coming in and out, but for fans of the comedy genre, there are several strong picks available. Whether it’s a handful of romcoms starring Glen Powell, a fun-for-the-whole-family animated road trip movie, or one of the most hilarious releases of 2025, there is something for everyone who’s looking for some funny movies to watch.

These are the best new comedies on Netflix right now.

“Anyone But You” did great at the box office but has lit up Netflix ever since it landed and continues to be a worthwhile watch. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney play a pair who hooked up and went their separate ways, only to find themselves both invited to a wedding in Australia,...

It does seem that the audience’s taste in movies and shows is changing much like how the tides change in an ocean. From action-thriller intense movies to pixelated blocks, there is a very heavy competition for the box office trophy.

Amidst all the chaos and all the Chicken Jockey memes going on the internet, a Michael Keaton sequel, which was released in 2024, seems to be dominating the charts all of a sudden, and fans are as confused as the streaming sites in the U.S.!

Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is trending!

Starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder in reprising roles, Jenna Ortega joined the sequel (titled Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) in 2024. With Tim Burton helming the film as its director, the film managed to do well at the box office.

Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer's Batmanfilms are currently being housed in one place. The iconic movies, based on the DC Comics superhero, are currently streaming on Tubi.

Tubi has officially added three of the most iconic films in The Dark Knight's history to its ever-expanding content library. These include 1989's Batman and its sequel, Batman Returns, both starring Michael Keaton. Rounding out the list is 1995's Batman Forever, starring Val Kilmer. The three features made their debut on the platform on May 1.

Directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Sam Hamm and Warren Skaaren, 1989's Batman introduced Michael Keaton's instantly iconic take on Bruce Wayne and the titular Caped Crusader. Batman also starred Jack Nicholson as Jack Napier/The Joker, Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale, Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth, and Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent.

The film was a massive hit upon its release, raking...

Michael Keaton famously starred as the Dark Knight in both of Tim Burton's Batman movies, and his performance remains a favorite for many fans of the DC character. The role could have gone to the actor's Beetlejuice co-star, Alec Baldwin, but Burton didn't feel he was right for the role.

Baldwin discussed the subject during a recent interview for his brother Stephen Baldwin's podcast One Bad Movie. He noted how his ex-wife, Kim Basinger, has a role as Vicki Vale in the original Batman film by Burton. Baldwin then explained that Basinger told him that she'd spoken with Burton about why he wound up casting Keaton as Bruce Wayne. This was said to be because Burton was looking for someone who'd make a more believable Bruce Wayne than Batman, and the director was having trouble imagining Baldwin such a troubled character.

"Well, back then, he said, he told my ex-wife,...

Alec Baldwin played a major part of the original Beetlejuice film, but he was not among the returning stars of last year's sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The actor did watch the film, however, and he's shared his thoughts, noting how he still prefers the original movie over the sequel.

Baldwin discussed Beetlejuice during a recent interview for the One Bad Movie podcast, hosted by brother Stephen Baldwin. Alec said that he saw the sequel in theaters twice at the request of his kids, who still had only seen video clips of the original film that he was in. Baldwin then spoke about how the sequel feels more "grim" compared to the "innocent" original. The actor was also not thrilled about director Tim Burton putting an "inconceivably gorgeous" woman like Monica Bellucci in dark makeup and stitches to portray the soul-sucking ghoul Delores, the ex-wife of Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton).

The Museum of Modern Art is spring cleaning its archives for a special ode to Old Hollywood. The exhibit “Face Value: Celebrity Press Photography,” which will open June 28, 2025 and be on display through June 21, 2026, features the best studio shots of iconic stars such as Clara Bow, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwyck, Elizabeth Taylor, Harry Belafonte, and more.

This is the first major exhibition of Hollywood studio portraiture to be showcased from the Museum Department of Film’s film stills archive since 1993. “Face Value” will feature over 200 works from 1921 to 1996, with studio photography of Joan Crawford, Louis Armstrong, Carole Lombard, Louise Brooks, Mia Farrow, Dennis Hopper, Lena Horne, Buster Keaton, Anna May Wong, W. C. Fields, Hattie McDaniel, Lupe Velez, Mae West, Bela Lugosi, Carmen Miranda, Elvis Presley, Diana Ross, Spencer Tracy, and Oprah Winfrey, in addition to the aforementioned stars. Historical figures such as Jackie Robinson, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,...

There are tons of films celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2025. When it comes to the superhero genre, 1995’s Batman Forever is at the top of that list. The Val Kilmer-starring film from director Joel Schumacher turns 30 years old and DC is going all out to celebrate the character’s second 90s big-screen adventure. This included new nostalgic action figures from Spin Master earlier this year, but now Lego is joining the Bat-Mania with a new set sure to have fans racing out of the Batcave.

The 909-piece set is the Batman Forever Batmobile. This version of The Dark Knight’s famous car has a molded windshield, rotatable wheels, authentic decorations and an opening cockpit. Like the Batmobile in the film, the car appears to feature blue lights throughout to make it as screen accurate as possible.

While not as memorable or beloved as Tim Burton and Michael Keaton’s Batmobile,...

Whether it was as Bruce Wayne or the Dark Knight himself, Michael Keaton owned the cape and cowl in Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns. Even today, decades later, fans still argue in dimly lit forums about who the best Batman is. Sure, Affleck looked like he could bench press a bus, but let’s be completely honest—he was no Michael Keaton. But now, a recent interview has fans wondering if Alec Baldwin could have done a better job as Batman instead of Keaton. What many don’t realise is that Keaton almost didn’t get the gig. Warner Bros. was basically playing a game of Batman Tinder, swiping right on names like Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, Charlie Sheen, Tom Selleck, Bill Murray, Harrison Ford, and Dennis Quaid before director Tim Burton swiped left on everyone and doubled down on Keaton as Batman. But guess who else wanted the role?...

Just when you think Harrison Ford couldn’t possibly care less about Hollywood what-ifs, he drops a line perfectly deadpan. During an interview this year, Ford was reminded that he was once considered to play Batman in Tim Burton’s 1989 movie. His response was not only entertaining but also his sarcastic delivery made it even more iconic.

Of course, Ford’s career is anything but ordinary. But in a viral moment that has fans cracking up, the actor jokingly regretted the one role that got away, Batman. Read the story here.

While promoting his role in Captain America: Brave New World, Harrison Ford was informed in an interview that director Tim Burton had once considered him for the lead in 1989’s Batman.

In 2002, Randy Savage fought Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. Now, more than 20 years later, another WWE wrestler is rumored to be joining the web-slinging franchise.

A recent report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider (via Wrestlezone) revealed that professional wrestler Liv Morgan has landed a "major dramatic role" in a big Hollywood movie, with one source calling it "one of the most impressive 'gets' imaginable." Despite Johnson stating that the role was not for Avengers: Doomsday or any upcoming superhero movie, trusted insider Alex Perez over at The Cosmic Circus hinted on X that Morgan was in talks with Sony and Marvel for a Spider-Man project, likely the next Tom Holland-led movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. "I heard a rumor...

Netflix must have said his name three times, because Michael Keaton's Ghost With the Most is heading back to the platform. Before becoming the streaming titan it is today, the company was known for renting out DVDs in its signature red envelopes. The first movie sent out back in March 1998 was none other than Tim Burton's iconic comedy-horror classic Beetlejuice, and now, its sequel from last year, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, is reuniting with the company next month. Starting on May 6, subscribers will be able to watch the director's long-awaited 75% Rotten Tomatoes blockbuster follow-up, which also stars Wednesday's Jenna Ortega, for a limited time only.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice finally graced theaters in September 2024 after years of attempts to bring the bioexorcist back to life with Paris and Hawaii-set sequels.

Two long-awaited villain returns may finally happen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While the sequel is expected to have Tom Holland's titular webslinger go up against a new big bad, a recent casting call has suggested that two former foes may play a role in Brand New Day.

According to trusted scooper Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), Marvel Studios is reportedly casting prisoners for Brand New Day. If true, and the sequel does feature a scene set in a prison, then fans could be treated to an appearance by the only Spider-Man villains that fans 100 percent know are locked behind bars: Michael Keaton's Vulture and Michael Mando's Mac Gargan, the latter of whom becomes the supervillain Scorpion in the comics. Ignoring Keaton's random Vulture cameo in Morbius, which is not canon to the MCU, the pair of villains were last seen interacting in prison at the end of 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Morgan Freeman isn’t just an actor, he’s a presence. The moment he steps into a scene, everything changes. Maybe it’s his voice, calm, steady, and full of wisdom, or the way he carries himself like he’s seen it all. Whatever it is, when he speaks, you listen. When he acts, you believe.

Over the years, he has given us some of the most unforgettable moments in film. Whether he’s offering hope in The Shawshank Redemption, training a fighter in Million Dollar Baby, or playing God, he makes every role feel real. He doesn’t need to shout or overact; he just is. That’s the magic of Morgan Freeman. He can say the simplest line, and somehow, it stays with you long after the movie ends.

Ranking Every Live-Action Batman Actor By Box Office Success (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Over the years, Gotham’s favorite brooding billionaire, aka Batman, has been played by everyone from a Twilight vampire to an American Psycho, and every version brought its own cape, growl, and gadgets to the big screen. With Batmobiles revving since 1989 and fans still lining up like it’s Joker season, Batman remains one of Hollywood’s most bankable masked vigilantes.

But forget fan polls and online debates, today, we’re letting cold, hard cash do the talking. From nipple suits to noir vibes, we rank every Batman actor based on their box office muscle. Who’s Gotham’s real moneymaker? Is Christian Bale still the box office Bruce Wayne to beat, or did Robert Pattinson sneak in with his eyeliner and vengeance?

The second season of “Light & Magic,” about the history of VFX giant Industrial Light & Magic (helmed by “Jumanji” director and former Ilm vet Joe Johnston), kicks off with a fascinating glimpse into the making of Jar Jar Binks in the first of three episodes.

The initial fan response to the character was decidedly negative, whether for Jar Jar’s slapstick humor tone clashing with the other stories within “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” or for the Gungan’s broad characterization that some critics and audiences found reflected racist stereotypes. Jar Jar hate has softened a little over time, particularly concerning the work of performer Ahmed Best, who beat out both Robin Williams and Michael Jackson for the role of Binks and has now gotten to save Baby Yoda in the guise of Jedi Master Kelleran Beq in “The Mandalorian.” But Best was the first to step into a mocap suit,...

In the age of binge-worthy television, few series manage to rise above entertainment and land a lasting social impact. That’s exactly what happened when Michael Keaton stepped into one of the most powerful roles of his career. At the center of Hulu’s Dopesick, Keaton helped tell a story many Americans already knew, but few fully understood.

It was a story about a family, a drug, and a devastating betrayal of the public trust. The Hulu mini-series creator, Danny Strong, reflected on the story behind the show’s unflinching portrayal of the epidemic and the scandal of the world’s most evil family.

Lindsay Lohan to star in Hulu drama from This Is Us showrunners

Lindsay Lohan, the once-embattled Mean Girls star, is continuing her comeback with her first starring TV role. She'll star in and executive-produce Count My Lies, a Hulu drama series from former This Is Us showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger based on a novel by Sophie Stava. Lohan will play Violet, a woman with a seemingly perfect life and a lot of secrets. Here's the logline: “When compulsive liar Sloane Caraway fibs her way into a nanny position for the gorgeous and charismatic Violet and Jay Lockhart, it seems she’s finally landed her dream job. But little does Sloane know, she’s just entered a household brimming with secrets that are about to explode — with potentially catastrophic consequences for all.”

The cast of The Whisper Mancontinues to expand with the addition of Michael Keaton. The acclaimed actor has joined the adaptation that will bring Alex North's novel to life on the screen. Netflix has already recruited Robert De Nirofor the crime thriller that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The star power from The Whisper Man continues to grow as the streaming platform prepares for principal photography to start soon. The story of the novel deals with the aftermath of an emotional tragedy.

The Whisper Man follows a widow crime writer who finds out that his young son is missing. The author is forced to look for a retired detective as a desperate measure. The trail of clues eventually leads the main characters of this story to confront a very old cold case related to a killer tagged as The Whisper Man. With the clock ticking against him,...

Considering Japan’s fascination with photo books, it is no surprise that the concept of photography has become the basis for local movies a number of times, with titles like “Woman of the Photographs” and “Arakimentari” being among the first that come to mind. Mark Gill attempts his hand in the concept through a biopic about Masahisa Fukase, a renowned, as much as self-destructive photographer whose most renowned work is the titular album.

The movie sets the tone from the beginning. An elderly Fukase, in evident decline, is interacting with a huge black raven, who speaks in English for some reason. It turns out that the raven was always beside him, with him talking to it quite frequently, occasionally even in the presence of others, as his father’s words eloquently highlight later on in the movie. His father, Sukaze, is actually the second focal point of his life.

Find out everything you need to know about the The Disciple episode of Tracker, including a full preview, videos, release date, cast information and how to watch!

Tracker The Disciple Season 2 Episode 9 Preview

The upcoming episode of “Tracker,” titled “The Disciple,” promises to be a gripping installment that fans of the series won’t want to miss. Airing on CBS at 8:00 Pm on February 16, 2025, this episode dives deep into the complexities of Colter’s relentless pursuit of justice. With a new lead in the haunting case of Gina Picket’s disappearance, Colter finds himself reuniting with retired cop Keaton. Together, they will navigate the dark and twisted world of a serial killer, raising the stakes higher than ever before.

Colter brings a mix of determination and vulnerability to the role.

Michael Keaton has been on a tear ever since he re-emerged with 2014's "Birdman." While not everything the veteran star has done since then has been a hit (told you bringing back Keaton's Batman in "The Flash" was a bad idea) for the most part the actor has proved why he was always one of Hollywood's brightest stars. When he's not demonstrating that he's still got his charmingly idiosyncratic comedic sensibility in "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," he's reminding us all of his razor-sharp dramatic chops in Hulu's opioid epidemic drama "Dopesick."

While the aforementioned "Beetlejuice" sequel was undoubtedly a 2024 high for Keaton, the comedy-drama "Goodrich" remains an under-seen modern gem in the Keaton oeuvre. Starring the man himself alongside Mila Kunis, the film tells the story of Andy Goodrich, a workaholic art dealer who reconnects with his daughter (Kunis) from a previous marriage after his wife enters a rehab program...

Spectacular and breathtaking, Birdman is an exhibition of magic realism.

Michael Keaton stars as an aging Riggan Thomson, once famous for playing a superhero called Birdman, a superhero franchise which had its last film in 1992, [which interestingly is also the year Michael Keaton’s 2nd Batman film released] and is now desperately looking for a comeback by appearing in a Broadway play.

Twenty-two years after Tim Burton made his last Batman film with Michael Keaton, who would have thought that the near-extinct Keaton would resurface in such a hauntingly beautiful fashion and deliver the most outstanding performance of his career? Michael Keaton was arguably the most deserving candidate for last year’s Academy Award for Best Actor. However, he lost to a brilliant performance by Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything.

Birdman is so similar to Keaton’s life in films that I wonder if director Alejandro González Iñárritu wanted to cast a washed-up superhero actor to play the...

With the new trailer for "Final Destination Bloodlines" proving there are plenty more fiendishly creative kills yet to come in the saga, fans are catching up on previous entries over on Max.

Inspired by what was originally an "X-Files" script, the "Final Destination" series has remained one of the most surprisingly enduring horror franchises of the last couple decades. The first movie debuted all the way back in 2000, introducing the simple premise of a group of teens who survive a horrific accident, only to be hounded by death at every turn until the cosmic balance is restored in violent fashion. Since then we've had four more films, alongside ten novels and two comic books — not bad a for a series that doesn't have a recognizable slasher figure at its center.

That said, you can't get a more imposing villain than death itself, which is surely part of the reason the...

In the upcoming episode of “Tracker,” titled “The Disciple,” excitement is building as Colter receives a new lead in the case that has haunted him for so long—the disappearance of Gina Picket. This case has been a white whale for Colter, and the stakes have never been higher. The episode promises to dive deep into the mystery, bringing tension and suspense as Colter teams up once again with retired cop Keaton. Their partnership has proven to be a powerful force in the past, and fans can expect their dynamic to shine through as they confront new challenges.

The episode will air at 8:00 Pm on Sunday, February 16, 2025, on CBS. As Colter and Keaton track down clues, they will find themselves on the trail of a serial killer, raising the stakes even further. The hunt for Gina Picket will lead them into dark and dangerous territory, testing their skills and resolve.

February has finally arrived, the month of romance with that big holiday for sweethearts almost “smack dab” in the middle. And naturally, the Hollywood studios are certainly ready to cater to the big occasion, perhaps making a trip to the cinema a fitting finale to an evening of bubbly, flowers, and swanky dinners. Now this year they’re not content to merely release a “swoony” romance or even a riotous “rom-com”. No, moviemakers are mixing things up with the two big releases this weekend. One adds elements of horror flicks and thrillers in Heart Eyes. In another section of the multiplex is this “high-concept hybrid” which sprinkles in some “mushy stuff’ with a a fast and frenetic action crime thriller. And with all the roundhouse kicks and furious fists, it’s clear, and not an understatement, that Love Hurts.

Valentine's Day is almost here. And you know what that means? Captain America: Brave New World is almost upon us! (What did you think I was going to say?)

The upcoming movie is one of the most anticipated of the year, which isn't surprising considering it's a Marvel Studios production, but there is a lot going on with this one. It's the fourth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Captain America movie series, but it's also something of a reboot. Anthony Mackie, who made his MCU debut as Sam Wilson, a.k.a. The Falcon, in 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier takes over the titular mantle, replacing Chris Evans' Steve Rogers as the title hero.

Mackie, who now stars as the seminal Marvel Comics hero, is not shy about opinions. He'll share what he thinks and tell you why. As nerds, we appreciate that in an actor for certain.

Michael Keaton’s 1989 Batman movie is still hailed as one of the coolest superhero movies ever. Keaton’s portrayal gave life to one of the most iconic masked vigilantes. Moreover, it also laid the groundwork for all The Dark Knights that appeared in films afterward.

As such, the entire Batman fan base is eternally grateful to the actor. It turns out, though, that while Keaton’s magnificence enhanced the character, it was someone else that saved its storyline.

In fact, it was none other than Kim Basinger, the leading lady of Keaton’s movie, whose ideas made Batman immemorial to fans for all time.

Batman has been a staple of the movie industry for decades now. He's been a staple of the comic book industry for even longer than that, but it's hard to imagine a time when he wasn't a box office titan either. And that's for good reason, because he headlined two theatrical serials in 1943 and 1949 before starring in his own movie in 1966 (which was based on the ABC TV series). But that legacy took a whole new, game-changing step forward when Tim Burton's Batman arrived in movie theaters in 1989, offering up what was arguably considered the world's first modern superhero blockbuster.

Over the years, plenty of actors have portrayed the Caped Crusader. From Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery and Adam West's early adaptations to the modern world of Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson, we've seen a number of unique portrayals and takes on the character, and...

In 1993, "Super Mario Bros." became the first live-action feature film to be based on a video game. It didn't go well. Budgeted at somewhere just south of $50 million, "Super Mario Bros." grossed a meager $20 million in the United States and performed poorly overseas. Its failure was essentially a fait accompli given the behind-the-scenes turmoil that found directors Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton briefly getting locked out of the editing room, but the film itself was the kind of Hollywood debacle that was too weird to disregard. The production design was striking, the creature effects inventive, and the casting utterly bizarre. Bob Hoskins as Mario facing off against Dennis Hopper as King Koopa? This might not seem outré today, but at the time it was bizarre to see respected actors seemingly slumming in what many considered to be a glorified piece of advertising.

As a fervent gamer at the time, I found it odd.

Batman. He's had many names throughout his near-century of dominance in the comic book world; Dark Knight, Caped Crusader, World's Greatest Detective. But, if it were at all possible to sum Batman up in just one word, he could be summed up with this one: Legend.

Few have achieved the levels of iconic that he has, and a large part of the reason for that is his legacy on the silver screen. Bruce Wayne has headlined more movies than any other comic book character, starring in nine solo live-action movies, over 30 animated movies and countless spinoffs and crossovers.

If you're hoping to take a trip to Gotham City to get acquainted with the Batman himself, you might understandably find it a bit overwhelming knowing where to start. But fear not future Gothamite, we have got you covered, with some Batman classics that you should definitely check out (as well as...

When Zack Snyder made Man of Steel with Henry Cavill, there were no plans of building a Dceu. However, DC executives were eager to catch up with Marvel, who were thriving with their superhero franchise. In their misguided vision for a DC franchise, the studio tried many things unsuccessfully before opting for a complete restructuring under James Gunn.

The Dceu already underwent several course corrections before the restructuring, resulting in a bunch of canceled or abandoned projects. After the new regime took over control, all planned films in the former Dceu were effectively canceled.

When people discuss the best movie performers of all time, there are a select few names that are typically thrown out for the Mount Rushmore of actors. For the Academy Award-loving crowd, the easiest answers are Meryl Streep, Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, Marlon Brando, and Katherine and Audrey Hepburn, among others. The blockbuster lovers of the world will throw out equally valid names like Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Sigourney Weaver, and Harrison Ford. While these names are the ones most commonly thrown out by the general populace, genre movie lovers have their own subset of legends that they look up to and admire.

The most stacked and competitive genre to curate a Mount Rushmore for might be comedy. The options are seemingly limitless, with a good portion of...

Over two years after DC Studios controversially canceled its Batgirl film, many still wonder why the DC Extended Universe never saw the light of day. Among those perplexed by DC's decision are the shelved film's crew members, with one claiming the movie was "completely finished" before being axed.

Replying to a video showing behind-the-scenes footage of Batgirl and bemoaning its "soul-crushing" fate, the superhero film's art department assistant, Annie Mitchell, admitted she's still stunned DC went ahead and scrapped the movie while it was deep into the post-production process. Confirming how close Batgirl was to being released, Mitchell said, "It’s insane that they scrapped it. It was literally completely finished, VFX and everything."

@hellenicrequiemIt's actually so soul crushing to see the amount of love and effort put into a film only for it to be turned into a tax write off and completely deleted from existence #lostmedia #batgirl #batgirlmovie...

A decade ago, Dylan O'Brien was a rising star in the entertainment industry. After success on a little-known MTV series, he was tapped to lead what should have been the next big franchise. The popularity of dystopian franchises such as The Hunger Games and Divergent made it apparent that there was a market for more content. O'Brien starred as Thomas in The Maze Runner, an adaptation of James Dashner's book of the same name about a group of boys who wake up in a terrifying maze with no memory of who they are.

While The Maze Runner was a commercial success, critics were less impressed, and the franchise lost steam during the third film, The Death Cure. O'Brien was injured during a stunt gone wrong when he was hit by a car. The actor has since gone on the record about how his safety concerns were disregarded, leading to a bad experience on set.

Goodrich, the new comedy starring Michael Keaton and Mila Kunis, has finally set a streaming date. Keaton's recent movies have seen the actor commit to comedy, returning in 2024 for Tim Burton's long-awaited Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. While the film divided fans, no one disagreed that Burton was hilarious as the undead trickster, Betelgeuse. Following that, Keaton starred in one of 2024's most underappreciated comedies of the year, and it will soon be available to stream at home.

Goodrich will stream exclusively on Max on January 31. The movie will then debut on HBO's linear channel the day after, on February 1. Directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, Goodrich received strong reviews when it was released in theaters last year. It holds an 81% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with a slightly stronger 86% audience score. MovieWeb's Julian Roman wasn't entirely smitten with the movie, but said that the relationship between Andy (Keaton) and his eldest daughter,...

What do Kim Novak, Jim Carrey, John Turturro, and the late Donald Sutherland all have in common? Well, aside from being acclaimed actors, these stars have never (we repeat: never) been nominated for an Academy Award. And that crime is now being celebrated by the annual anti-awards season festival, hosted by the Museum of the Moving Image.

The beloved museum announced its third iteration of the popular “Snubbed” screening series, which reexamines films that have been overlooked by the Academy. The 2025 theme is centered on actors and titled “Snubbed Forever: Great Actors, No Nominations.” The program will run February 1 through March 9, and feature 21 films starring actors who have never been nominated for an Oscar.

Highlights include Kim Novak in the enduring “Vertigo,” John Turturro and John Goodman in “Barton Fink,” Rita Hayworth in “The Lady from Shanghai,” Jim Carrey in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” and Danny DeVito in “Batman Returns.

Fans of Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actor Michael Keaton get great news to round out January. Keaton's latest big-screen effort, Goodrich, nears a global streaming and TV debut.

According to Deadline, Goodrich, an acclaimed indie parenting comedy, is scheduled to make its exclusive streaming debut via Max on Jan. 31. Along with the streaming premiere, Goodrich will be available to watch on HBO on Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. Et. The Keaton-led drama, directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, comes to streaming and TV over three months after its theatrical release.

One such film is the 2021 action-packed thriller The Protégé. Initially, the movie didn’t make much noise at the box office, earning only $8 million during its theatrical run. However, since landing on Netflix, it has experienced a remarkable resurgence becoming one of the platform’s most-watched films. The movie boasts an impressive cast, including Maggie Q, Academy Award nominated actors Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Keaton. Directed by Martin Campbell, The Protégé revolves around Anna, who was rescued as a child by Moody, a legendary hitman. Trained to be a lethal contract killer herself, Anna becomes the best in the world. But when Moody is brutally murdered, she is driven to seek vengeance for the man who shaped her life.
