When Reese Witherspoon first debuted on-screen in the early '90s, nobody could've anticipated she'd become one of the richest women in America (according to Forbes). Her career began as a teen, when an audition for "The Man in the Moon" landed Witherspoon the lead role. The young actress' career blossomed over the next two decades with coming-of-age movies, romantic dramas and comedies, and biopics that proved her acting chops were no fluke.

Beyond her dozens of roles, Witherspoon has also put in the work behind the scenes with her production company HelloSunshine, who have been behind not only Witherspoon's own projects but massive success stories like David Fincher's "Gone Girl." Between her producing resume and her philanthropic efforts, it's no surprise that her career in 2025 is a product of good will and hard work.

As one of the best rom-com actors in all of Hollywood, it's possible that...

Back in Action is headlined by Cameron Diaz’s comeback after 11 years away from acting, but Netflix’s most viewed weekend premiere in nearly three years is also Seth Gordon’s return to feature filmmaking.

Gordon — who’s most known as the director behind hit comedies such as Four Christmases (2008), Horrible Bosses (2011) and Identity Thief (2013) — hasn’t made a feature film since 2017’s Baywatch, and while his four films have averaged a box office gross of nearly $183 million each, his absence coincides with the comedy genre’s steady decline at the box office and widespread disappearance from major studio development slates. Gordon doesn’t have the definitive answer for why comedy is no longer the dominant force it once was at multiplexes, but he speculates that it could be a result of the hectic political climate that’s been in effect since 2017.

“[2017] was the time when comedy started to die down.

“Suits LA” has added three new guest stars.

Variety has learned exclusively that Patton Oswalt, Brian Baumgartner, and Enrico Colantoni are all set to appear in the first season of the NBC legal drama. All three will play a version of themselves.

The trio join previously announced guest stars like Maggie Grace, Matt Letscher, Sofia Pernas, and Carson A. Egan. The main cast of “Suits LA” includes Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg. It was also reported that “Suits” star Gabriel Macht will appear in a multi-episode arc of “Suits LA” as well.

The roles mark returns to NBC for Oswalt, Baumgartner, and Colantoni, as all three have previously starred in NBC comedies — “AP Bio” for Oswalt, “The Office” for Baumgartner, and “Just Shoot Me” for Colantoni.

Oswalt is a highly-accomplished stand up comedian who won the Emmy for best writing for a variety special in...

As the director of movies like Four Christmases, Horrible Bosses, and the Baywatch movie, filmmaker Seth Gordon has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. But he was particularly impressed with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx, the headliners of his new film, Back in Action. Gordon told People in a recent interview that the costars “took turns in a really deep way supporting each other,” as Diaz returned to the screen after a decade-long break and Foxx recovered from a stroke during production. “Anyone who was on set will tell you [Jamie] was the biggest cheerleader and hype man for [Diaz], and really for everybody involved, but especially for her,” Gordon said. “So she got to return the favor in that way spiritually.” Netflix In the new Netflix movie, Diaz and Foxx play married ex-spies drawn back into the espionage life. And Gordon was wowed by the rapport between the actors,...

Over the years, writer/director Seth Gordon has become known for his work on projects like Baywatch, Horrible Bosses, and Four Christmases, but he actually made his directorial debut in 2007 on The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, a documentary about die-hard gamers who were competing against each other in classic arcade games. The film is available to stream on Prime Video, and there was at one time talk of it getting a full-length feature adaptation that unfortunately never came to fruition. During a recent interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub to promote his newly released Netflix movie, Back in Action, Gordon was asked how close they came to making the King of Kong movie, and his answer as to why it never happened will shock you:...

With the world still reeling from Christmas and New Year celebrations, people often find solace in Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn’s comedy, Four Christmases, among several other holiday flicks.

According to reports from insiders, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn often engaged in on-set feuds due to their differences in work ethics. So much so, that it affected their onscreen chemistry to a point where Witherspoon refused to film a s*x scene with her co-star.

’Twas the weekend before Christmas… With the holiday season upon us, many of us are starting to revisit some of our of Christmas favourites. I actually went to see a 4K re-release of the original Black Christmas last night here in Montreal. There’s something comforting upon returning to our old favourites every year, whether they be traditional Christmas classics, or perhaps something a little more modern, like Die Hard, which, despite many claiming otherwise, has totally established itself as a Christmas classic over the years.

Whatever the case, there are certainly Loads of Christmas movies, with everything from old-time classics like It’s A Wonderful Life or some of the many versions of A Christmas Carol (the Alistair Sim version is the best Imo), or something like Love Actually, which is virtually inescapable at this time of the year.

With that in mind, we’d love to figure out just...

Grab your eggnog and head under the mistletoe for a holiday kiss.

I’m a romantic at heart, and holiday romantic comedies are one of my favorite genres. I write them (with my wife), I watch them, and I love talking about them.

So it begs the question: what’s the best streamer out there for watching Christmas rom-coms? Let me save you a (eggnog-induced) headache and tell you. I think the best streamer for holiday rom-coms is Hulu, and here’s why…

Chuck Norris hasn’t starred in a movie since 2012, when he picked up Sylvester Stallone’s call and became Booker in The Expendables 2, a man so tough that a cobra allegedly died after biting him. Despite that, he is still cherished by action movie fans. Norris is the subject of many internet memes, many of which joke about his grit and no-nonsense attitude. He is a United States Air Force vet after all, and has a black belt in Tang Soo Do, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Our Little Secret is a reminder to watch another Kristin Chenoweth Christmas film that hits some of the same notes. Netflix’s latest festive comedy follows two resentful exes who are forced to spend Christmas together after realizing that their current partners are brother and sister. It’s a fun, lighthearted story that explores how different people celebrate the holiday season, and how the magic of Christmas can spark romance in the most unexpected of places. Our Little Secret stars Lindsay Lohan and Kirsitn Chenoweth in two of their most entertaining roles in recent memory.

When it comes to great Christmas comedies, Netflix has essentially monopolized the genre over the past few years. Every festive season, the streaming giant comes out with a new big-budget romcom that pulls some recognizable faces together and gathers huge viewership numbers.

The star of one of the most iconic Christmas films of all time has waded into one of the holiday season’s most divisive annual debates: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

Peter Billingsley says yes — and in the season finale episode of his A Cinematic Christmas Journey podcast, which releases Dec. 15, he does his best to convince Die Hard cinematographer Jan de Bont.

“I mean, they didn’t think Die Hard was a Christmas movie. They happened to set it then, but the filmmakers weren’t intending that,” Billingsley explains. Instead, like many classics over the decades, its meaning to fans evolved. “This movie creates its own life, is in the culture and, over time, people discover it. It’s pretty great to see how that life can move in ways that the filmmakers never intended, or even ever imagined.” (Watch an exclusive clip from the episode below.)

Peter Billingsley has a multifaceted entertainment career that spans five decades and includes acting, writing, directing, and producing. Billingsley's most notable roles are in Christmas movies, such as his cameos in "Four Christmases" and "Elf," and his lead role as Ralphie in "A Christmas Story."

The scenes in Gimbel's department store in Elf reference Miracle on 34th Street, juxtaposing commercialism with Buddy's childlike glee for the magic of Christmas. Buddy's snowflake-making also references Edward Scissorhands.

November 1

Arthdal Chronicles...

Yes, this has been floating around movie-nerd internet for some time, however, in the tradition of this column, that the last Friday before Christmas shall be an alternate Eyes Wide Shut poster, here we are. This 'Hallmark Christmas Movie' spoof was created for a screening of the film at the Bíó Paradís cinema in Reykjavik by Icelandic comedian, illustrator, and cartoonist Hugleikeur Dagsson. Using the more or less forgotten Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon holiday vehicle, Four Christmases, as a template, Dagsson not only subverts the 'lazy holiday-themed content' trend that has been exploding on various streaming platforms in the past few years, but it also foregrounds Stanley Kubrick's feature-length emasculation of super-star Tom Cruise by emphasizing the height difference between himself and ex-spouse Nicole Kidman...

Don’t be an angry elf or a cotton-headed ninny muggins! ‘Tis the season for all things Christmas — candy canes, silver bells and, of course, that means it’s finally time to watch “Elf.”

Starring Will Ferrell as Buddy — a human raised in the North Pole to believe he’s an elf — the holiday comedy follows Buddy from the safety of Santa’s Workshop to the hectic streets of New York City, where he goes on the search to find his biological father.

Directed by future “Iron Man” and “The Mandalorian” filmmaker Jon Favreau and starring Ferrell fresh off of his legendary “SNL” career, the 2003 gem “Elf” has become a modern Christmas classic and yearly must-watch for families around the world.

So if you’re wondering where to watch ‘Elf’ in 2022, not to worry, we’ve got you covered with a handy guide where it’s streaming, airing and available...

If you are one of the people who watch "A Christmas Story" yearly as a holiday ritual, you are in good company — really good company.

Peter Billingsley, who starred as Ralphie Parker in the 1983 film, and his Wild West Picture Show Productions partner Vince Vaughn have started a new video podcast called "A Cinematic Christmas Journey." They're tackling films like "Home Alone," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "Four Christmases," "It's a Wonderful Life," and "The Grinch." Of course, they're also breaking down "A Christmas Story."

Joining this episode are Ian Petrella, who played Randy, Scott Schwartz, who played Flick, and R.D. Robb, who played Schwartz, with Billingsley as co-host, along with Nick Schenk, who wrote the script for the new sequel "A Christmas Story Christmas."

The guys begin by talking about how the film did at the box office, and despite good reviews, it wasn't expected to do well, it seems.

If you grew up anywhere around cold weather and snow, you might already know this, but if you're new to icy conditions, here is a public service announcement: Do not touch your tongue to a flagpole when it drops below freezing. Even if someone triple-dog dares you. Of course, if you've seen the 1983 film "A Christmas Story," you probably already know this. You likely have, as TNT and TBS do a marathon of the film every holiday. 

This was one of those moments that fills me with remembered dread, as I almost attempted this before I saw "A Christmas Story" for the first time. I wondered how they did this and if poor Scott Schwartz, who played the unfortunate Flick, was okay. 

Wild West Picture Show Productions partners Peter Billingsley (who starred as Ralphie in the film) and Vince Vaughn, have started a new podcast called "A Cinematic Christmas Journey,...

"A Christmas Story" is a staple of the holiday season, with annual 24-hour marathons on TBS and TNT. This year we have double the Ralphie fun because a sequel, "A Christmas Story Christmas," is streaming on HBO Max. Not only that, but Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie, and his Wild West Picture Show Productions partner Vince Vaughn, have started a new video podcast called "A Cinematic Christmas Journey." The first episode is about "A Christmas Story," and we're getting some fun tales from the set.

It's hosted by Billingsley and Nick Schenk, the screenwriter for the Clint Eastwood films "Gran Torino," "Cry Macho," and "The Mule," as well as the new sequel "A Christmas Story Christmas." For this episode, Schenk and Billingsley welcome Ian Petrella, who played Ralphie's little brother Randy, R.D. Robb, who played Schwartz, and Scott Schwartz, who played Flick. There are stories about the cursing Ralphie did and where it came from,...

There is an irony at play with Bob Clark's 1983 film "A Christmas Story." Set in 1940, "A Christmas Story" told an aggressively unromantic story of what childhood looked like at the time. It was a movie meant to undo any notions of warm nostalgia, freeing Christmastime from its halcyon and clichéd Rockwellian idylls. The young Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) was no well-behaved moppet, but a foul-mouthed, bratty child who longed to fire a weapon. He hated his school, and vengefully beat up schoolyard bullies. Santa was scary. The family Christmas tree was ruined. Christmas dinner had to be eaten at a Chinese restaurant, one of the only places open on December 25. Tradition, "A Christmas Story" posits, is an embarrassing joke. 

The irony comes in with the film's eventual reputation. "A Christmas Story" became a seasonal classic, and the Gen-x children who grew up watching it happily proselytized its comedic power. Eventually,...

It's the holiday season, which means you're probably enjoying your favorite Christmas movies, whether it's a new favorite worth seeking out like "Christmas with the Campbells" or an old favorite like "A Christmas Story." Well, if you're looking for a little more Yuletide fun this year, the filmmakers behind both of those movies have a new podcast series out that will be digging into the legacy of some of your favorite films, and they're starting with Christmas movies. 

Vince Vaughn has teamed up with his Wild West Picture Show Productions partner Peter Billingsley, star of "A Christmas Story" and writer/producer of the recent sequel that hit HBO Max (seen above), for the podcast called "A Cinematic Christmas Journey." Of course, the podcast begins with an episode looking back at "A Christmas Story" with some of the film's original cast members reminiscing about the making of the movie and the...

Exclusive: It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas.

So much so that Peter Billingsley, star of A Christmas Story, is to host a new podcast celebrating the nostalgia of classic holiday films.

A Cinematic Christmas Journey was co-created by Vince Vaughn, whose podcast network Audiorama, which he launched with former NFL Pro Bowlers Greg Olsen and Ryan Kalil earlier this year, is producing with his Wild West Picture Show Productions.

Billingsley will host with Nick Schenk. Billingsley is best known for starring as Ralphie Parker in the 1983 and is set to reprise his role in the sequel film A Christmas Story Christmas, which was co-written by Schenk, and was recently released on HBO Max.

The podcast will ask why do people love holiday movies so much.

Over six episodes, Billingsley and Schenk will explore the holiday traditions highlighted in iconic movies such as Home Alone, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,...

While some Christmas movies are all about action or serious drama, the best films to watch in December are the cheesy and heartwarming ones. These stories make people feel nostalgic about the past 12 months and hopeful about the upcoming year, and they often drive home the message that family connections and love are the most meaningful parts of life.

From some '90s movies that still make people feel warm and cozy to nostalgic to Netflix releases from the past few years, Reddit fans are sharing their favorite Christmas movies that can definitely be described as corny.

The last movie anybody would have expected a sequel to is A Christmas Story, but 39 years later, A Christmas Story Christmas has just hit HBO Max. The movie is set 33 years after the original film, and it sees Ralphie returning home to Indiana after his father's death. A Christmas Story Christmas is just as funny as the original and unexpectedly heartfelt, and it sees the return of a lot of the original cast too.

A legacy sequel following the original movie's release by almost 40 years is sure to have tons of fascinating development stories. But none of them are remotely negative, and between getting the cast back together, rebuilding the entire street, and endlessly rewatching the original movie, A Christmas Story Christmas' production was just as wholesome as the film.

It Was In Development For 4 Years

According to Collider, A Christmas Story Christmas had been in development for four years.
