Ke Huy Quan‘s leading debut with Love Hurts may not have blazed as hot as his comeback in Everything, Everywhere All at Once, but it’s certainly the type of throwback movie that is rarely seen nowadays. It’s a simple, fun, goofy little action comedy that’s brisk enough for an entertaining casual viewing and it doesn’t try to be anything more. Quan’s charm and his action prowess really come through and it’s cool to see him step up into the lead role.

Love Hurts is set to have a collector’s edition 4K Blu-ray release courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, according to Blu-ray.com. While Love Hurts didn’t make a big splash at the box office, you can catch the movie on physical media with a bunch of special features, including a bevy of deleted and alternate scenes.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains a spoiler for Paradise Season 1.

Sterling K. Brown's Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins isn't done with Paradise yet, folks. In news that will surprise approximately nobody, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman's latest water cooler primed show, which starts out as a hooky if familiar feeling presidential murder-mystery before very quickly becoming something altogether different, has been picked up by 20th Television for Season 2 on Disney+

A marked change of pace for showrunner-writer Fogelman, whose past credits include Tangled, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Pixar's Cars, Paradise has rapidly proven itself to be appointment viewing, with the show kicking off to an audience of over 7 million viewers in its first week alone. And given the show's shock early doors reveal that *Spoiler Alert* this isn't just a story about Brown's Agent Xavier Collins trying to work out who bumped off James Marsden's Potus,...

Political thrillers are a hot genre right now, and Hulu’s Paradise is one of the newest entries on the list of some of the best new (and returning) ones this year. The drama has been well received through its first few episodes to date, with viewers shocked by the massive twist that’s revealed at the end of the first episode and eager to discover the answer to the big overarching mystery.

The show has some big-name actors among its cast, hails from a creator with a fantastic track record in TV (albeit with shows of a very different genre), and blends the worlds of government, billionaires, and science.

What Is Paradise About?

It’s tough to talk about the premise of Paradise without revealing the big episode one twist. First off, the show centers around Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown), a Secret Service agent in charge of the U.

Having just arrived on Hulu this month, one of the best romantic comedies in recent years is available for everyone to stream for Valentine’s Day. Crazy, Stupid, Love was released in 2011 and immediately garnered a slew of positive reviews from both critics and viewers. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film’s Tomatometer is at a solid 79%, while its Popcornmeter is at a comparable 78%. Not only was the movie a critical success more than a decade ago, but it fared well commercially as well. On a budget of $50 million, the film brought in a whopping $145 million at the box office. Needless to say, Crazy, Stupid, Love was undoubtedly a hit 14 years ago and continues to delight audiences today.

Without a doubt, one of the most entertaining aspects of the movie lies in its performances.

Ke Huy Quan stars in the upcoming action comedy, Love Hurts, which serves as his first-ever leading man role. After winning over audiences with supporting roles in Everything Everywhere All At Once and Loki, Quan recently revealed how he approached leading a set for the first time in his career.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Quan revealed that he channeled Jamie Lee Curtis when it came to how he treated his Love Hurts co-stars. "The very first day on set, one thing was on my mind, because I know how it was done with Harrison Ford, Tom Hiddleston, all of those incredible actors who are always No. 1 on set, and seeing how they treat the entire cast and crew," he said. "So I wanted to make sure that everybody felt loved and welcomed and part of the family. No matter what they do on set, their job is just as important as mine.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t break up with your past.

This Valentine’s Day, Oscar® winner Ke Huy Quan rockets into his first major leading man role as an unlikely hero, a seemingly mild-mannered realtor with a dark secret that he is desperate to leave behind. Spoiler alert: He won’t.

From 87North—producers of the groundbreaking action films Nobody, Violent Night, Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde and The Fall Guy—comes a visceral, high-octane story of wrath and revenge.

Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a realtor working the Milwaukee suburbs, where ‘For Sale’ signs bloom. Gable receives a crimson envelope from Rose, a former partner-in-crime that he had left for dead. She’s not happy.

Now, Marvin is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen, filled with double-crosses and open houses turned into deadly warzones. With his brother Knuckles, a volatile crime lord, hunting him,...

Actress Joey King has recently revealed that she has endured painful facial and neck burns. The star, known for The Kissing Booth and The Act, had been hurt in a cooking accident at her home. Notably, this comes out following the actress revealing that she had been struggling with a skin condition.

Joey King Was Splashed By Hot Oil While Cooking Shallots

King first came to prominence as a child star. Notably, she’d played Ramona Quimby in Ramona and Beezus, alongside Selena Gomez.

Since then, King gained larger recognition for The Kissing Booth film series and for playing Gypsy-Rose Blanchard in the crime drama, The Act. King has also had notable roles in films like Uglies, Battle: Los Angeles, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Dark Knight Rises, The Conjuring, White House Down, and Independence Day: Resurgence.

What’s the deal with the film Academy’s documentary branch? This season’s shortlist for the best documentary feature Oscar, released Dec. 17, was missing one of the year’s most acclaimed crowd-pleasers, Warner Bros.’ Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story — which is at 98 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, won the top Critics Choice documentary award and is nominated for the Producers Guild’s top doc award — and also impressive documentaries about Martha Stewart (Martha), Celine Dion (I Am: Celine Dion), James Carville (Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid) and John Williams (Music by John Williams), among others.

This isn’t to say that the 15 docs that were shortlisted are lacking — to the contrary, most are excellent. But it does reconfirm the doc branch’s weird aversion, over roughly the past decade, to populist titles.

During that period, the branch declined to shortlist Good Night Oppy, a charmer about a Wall-e-like Mars...

It's a new year, which means tons of new titles are coming to your favorite streaming services. From beloved sci-fi films like Denis Villeneuve's Arrival and the new Star Trek film starring Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh, or maybe a period drama like Emma or a rom-com like Crazy, Stupid, Love., these are a new movie or show for everyone. Here is everything coming to Paramount+ in January 2025.

That’s because there aren’t a lot of people out there that have very good things to say about him. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Mauricio Umansky denies rumors of dating Dorit Kemsley (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has given birth to a lot of friendships and equations. One of them was the bond between Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, and their husbands Maurcio Umansky and Paul “Pk” Kemsley respectively. The four of them used to be tight and hung out apart from the show more than one can count. But things are not the same anymore.

With both the couples having separated, the relationship between the close group of four has fractured. The frosty feud between Kyle and Dorit doesn’t seem to help the case either. Amidst this, there were rumors of a potential romance between Mauricio and Dorit. The former has now opened up about the same and slammed the rumors, calling them “f*cking stupid.”

Am I Racist?, the controversial documentary that satirizes Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, failed to make the Oscar shortlist of nonfiction features today, despite earning more money at the box office than any other documentary this year, by far.

The film directed by Justin Folk features conservative author and podcaster Matt Walsh going undercover to infiltrate Dei seminars, dinners and the like. It scooped up more than $12 million at the domestic box office, but that wasn’t enough to sway the minds of Academy Documentary Branch members, who determine the shortlist (as well as the eventual five Oscar nominees).

The best Joey King movies and TV shows prove that the young actress has a lot more going for her than just the string of releases she enjoyed after her breakout in The Kissing Booth. King got her start as a child actor, with her first roles coming with she was only seven. As a youngster, she appeared in some major blockbusters, including Battle: Los Angeles, Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Conjuring. That experience prepared her for what has become a leading lady role as she reaches her 20s.

That all started in The Kissing Booth, which saw King star in all three movies in the franchise from 2018 to 2021. The success of those films on Netflix opened the door for King to earn more roles both in movies and on streaming services. She took on the lead role of Gypsy-Rose Blanchard in The Act, a fun...

Steve Carell might be best known for his pitch-perfect portrayal of the lovable yet unhinged Michael Scott but the man has many other feats under his belt. Whether it’s Crazy, Stupid, Love, or The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Steve Carell has proven time and time again that he can be much more than just Michael Scott. Not that we have any complaints about his time as the World’s Best Boss.

In 2015, Steve Carell starred in the thriller-comedy film, The Big Short, along with Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling. Now that’s a star cast that can make fans flock to the theatres! Steve Carell plays the role of Mark Baum, FrontPoint Partners’ leader. Here’s what he had to say about his character.

A new year means new movies and TV series, as we know. Sure, some old ones will continue or return, but we will also see a lot of new ones there. Hulu, which is owned by Disney, knows what it means to start off a new year with a strong series, and that is going to be the topic of this report.

Namely, in it, we are going to cover the known information about an upcoming mystery series that is going to be released on Hulu early next year. The series has a promising premise and setting, as well as some major stars.

The series’ title is Paradise and in the paragraphs that follow, we are going to reveal all the known and unknown information about the series that you actually need to know and want to know ahead of the upcoming January premiere, which is certainly going to be interesting.

Steve Carell's appearance in The Office's final episode wasn't just a surprise to audiences. On the latest episode of the Office Ladies podcast, hosts Jenna Fischer (who starred as Pam Beesley) and Angela Kinsey (who portrayed Angela Martin), shared details about Carell's memorable return to the series. Carell hilariously portrayed Dunder Mifflin's branch manager Michael Scott for seven seasons. He exited The Office in 2011 but famously returned for its 2013 finale. The crew acted secretly to get the Golden Globe Award-winning actor back on the show, and even some of the cast didn't know he would be featured in the finale. Kinsey was one of the people who had no idea that Carell would return, and Fischer shared:

It was really hard not to tell you ... and you did not find out until he showed up on set that day.

Kinsey recalled the moment she found out Carell was...

Steve Carrell is best known for his turn as Michael Scott in the NBC sitcom The Office. The Golden Globe award-winning actor has also starred in a string of commercially successful comedy movies. However, despite Carrell’s comedic chops, the actor could not save one of his most expensive comedy movies from flopping hard at the box office.

The Office star Steve Carrell has several hit comedies in his filmography (Credit: NBC).

In 2007, Carrell starred in the 2007 fantasy comedy film Evan Almighty, a sequel to the commercially successful 2003 comedy Bruce Almighty. However, the sequel could not create a splash at the box office like its predecessor. Moreover, its high budget had already doomed the movie before its release. Here is why Carrell might want to erase it from his filmography.

Evan Almighty is the Box-Office Bomb Steve Carrell Would Like to Delete From Existence

The Office star Steve Carrell has...

The Steve Carell movie Evan Almighty was at one time the most expensive comedy movie ever, in addition to being an enormous box office bomb. The 2007 movie was a sequel to 2003's Bruce Almighty, which starred Jim Carrey in the title role. The follow-up, which featured an ensemble cast that included Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham, John Goodman, John Michael Higgins, Jimmy Bennett, and Wanda Sykes, focused on the story of a previously minor Bruce Almighty supporting character named Evan Baxter who was played by Carell, who had since risen to fame playing Michael Scott on the sitcom The Office.

In addition to being a television star, Carell would go on to be a major movie star. One of his best-known roles is voicing the reformed supervillain Gru in the Despicable Me movies, but he has held many major roles outside of the animated franchise in both comedies and dramas. This...

Joey King's latest movie, Uglies, has received a fairly poor critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by McG, the movie stars King as Tally Youngblood, who lives in a world where a mandatory operation makes everyone pretty and eliminates their physical differences. The Uglies cast also includes Brianne Tju, Chase Stokes, Laverne Cox, and Keith Powers.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie's current score has been revealed, and it is not great. At the time of publication of this article, the film sits at a 20% approval rating based on 20 reviews. No critical consensus has been given, but many reviews have discussed how unoriginal the movie feels, and criticized its underdeveloped social commentary. The score is expected to fluctuate as more reviews get tabulated.

Ryan Gosling might have undertaken various roles across different genres but fans love him best for his dramatic portrayals in the romantic genre. From the critically acclaimed The Notebook to Crazy, Stupid, Love, Gosling is Hollywood’s typical ‘nice guy’ (and an actual one at that), who seems to shine best in romantic dramas, whether they be comedy or downright agonizing.

One of his most excruciatingly painful yet beautiful romantic films was La La Land opposite Emma Stone. A bittersweet film, some viewers have gone as far as labeling it a ‘horror movie’ for the emotional rollercoaster it was. However, many seem to forget Gosling’s one Indie film that is so brutal that it even makes his Oscar-winning film look like a joyful dream in comparison.

In keeping with annual tradition, The Hollywood Reporter’s executive editor (awards) Scott Feinberg and senior editor (film) Rebecca Keegan huddled at the end of this year’s Telluride Film Festival to discuss their Labor Day weekend in the Rockies.

Ahead of its premiere at Telluride, Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid, a new documentary on famed Democratic political consultant James Carville, has been acquired by CNN Films, Deadline can confirm.

The company specifically picked up television and SVOD rights for the U.S. and Canada. Directed by Matt Tyrnauer (Where’s My Roy Cohn?), the film will premiere on CNN at 7 p.m. Et on Saturday, Oct. 5, also streaming on Max later this fall and receiving an Oscar-qualifying theatrical release.

Carville marks CNN Films’ third acquisition this year, following Luther: Never Too Much and the anticipated Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, which the company jointly sought out with DC Studios, Warner Bros. Motion Pictures, HBO, and Max.

Hailing from Altimeter Films, Winning Is Everything, Stupid chronicles an 18-month period in which Carville spearheaded efforts to persuade President Joe Biden not to run for re-election in 2024. Carville, famously known for coining the phrase “It’s the economy,...

It has been observed time and time again that upcoming actors slowly replace the veteran ones in Hollywood. The world seems to have fallen in love with Glen Powell due to his role in Top Gun: Maverick. In the process, however, fans are now comparing Powell to Ryan Gosling.

With certain audiences and the kind of movies that an actor stars in, Ryan Gosling has been referred to as a ‘ladies’ man’ several times. However, fans defended the star by saying that his movies are not just meant for female audiences.

Glen Powell Is The Next Big Actor in Hollywood

Sure, Gosling has starred in movies like La La Land, The Notebook, and, Crazy, Stupid, Love which falls into the romantic side of things but that doesn’t mean he only stars in particular kinds of movies.

Glen Powell recently starred...

"Remember the Titans" launched the movie careers of Ryan Gosling, Hayden Panettiere, and Kate Bosworth. Gosling transitioned from TV to film after "Titans" and later starred in "The Notebook" and "La La Land." Panettiere's role as Sheryl Yoast in "Titans" led to "Heroes" and a successful career in film and TV.

Few movies have launched the careers of more than one A-list actor, and one sports drama starring Denzel Washington marked the beginning of the movie careers of three well-known actors. Denzel Washington has a variety of movies in his extensive filmography, and one of his most memorable and beloved works is Remember the Titans. Released in 2000 and directed by Boaz Yakin, Remember the Titans is loosely based on the true story of Herman Boone, coach of the 1971 T.C. Williams High School football team.

Remember the Titans follows Boone (Washington), who, in 1971, is hired as head coach of T.C. Williams High School,...

Creativity can be a kind of magic. Whether it's actually an outpouring of the subconscious or something arbitrary that's given meaning in hindsight, sometimes the art uses the artist to finally get born. If you're an artist, you may ask yourself, "Where did this come from? How did this get there?" Especially if you've never done it before. That's what happened with legendary film producer Denise Di Novi, who is having her first gallery show after four years of painting. "I never had any history of painting at all. I mean, I've been a creative person all my life, and my parents are creative. My dad's a jazz musician. My late mother was a dancer, and many of my relatives are artists," explained Di Novi in an interview with MovieWeb ahead of her exhibitions (information here).

Di Novi is the producer of numerous classics Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, A Walk to Remember,...

In a world where patriarchy and male chauvinism dominate the social and other spheres of our lives, Ryan Gosling wears his masculinity on his sleeve. But unlike others or most of his contemporaries, the star is a feminist through and through, and is not afraid to acknowledge it. An ‘ultimate ladies’ man’, the actor’s boyish good looks, charismatic personality, and versatile acting skills have made him popular among fans.

While he has had his fair share of chauvinistic hardcore roles, the actor has lately been famous for his unconventional masculine roles. His answer to the question— ‘what is the scariest animal’— only proves why he is so popular among the ladies and men.

When the makers of "Futurama" were first constructing the series, they dropped in a prominent background detail that they knew nitpickers and lay-linguists would adore. One can see on billboards, in store windows, and even painted on the sides of buildings, an oblique alien language constructed of curved symbols and dots. The "Alienese" might have been dismissed as a mere design flourish, but the letters were too neatly written and too consistent across the series to be dismissed. It took very little time for "Futurama" fans to crack the code and find that all those alien signs could be translated. It seems that the Alien Language, nicknamed AL1 by fans, was a simple letter-replacement cipher. The cipher became so well known that handy translators can now be found online.

"Futurama" co-creator David X. Cohen was a little disappointed that AL1 was unlocked so quickly. He was, of course, careful to...

In the "Futurama" episode "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", Earth is invaded by a destructive species of gigantic, disembodied brains. The brains, called the Brainspawn, hate all forms of intelligence, and aim to rid the universe of any brainwaves other than their own. They also emanate an energy field that drastically reduces the intelligence of everyone on Earth; shortly after the invasion, everyone decides to play the lottery, buy internet stock, and join the Reform Party. 

Only Fry (Billy West) is immune to the Brainspawn's energy field, thanks to an old time-travel incident that caused Fry to become his own grandfather (don't ask). Fry confronts the Brain Leader (Maurice Lamarche) in the New York Public Library, the ideal place for a brain to hang out.

Emma Stone isn’t just another pretty face in Hollywood. After announcing her arrival as a teenager with Superbad and Zombieland, Stone took her first steps into the big league with films like Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Help, and The Amazing Spider-Man franchise with Andrew Garfield. She also created history by winning 2 Oscars before the age of 36 and joined the likes of stars like Hillary Swank and Jodie Foster.

In December 2023, Stone achieved another milestone when she became the latest star to have hosted Saturday Night Live 5 times and thereby became the youngest member to do so. But the Oscar winner realized that the honor of receiving the coveted velvet jacket came with a surprising caveat, which she managed to expertly navigate.

Emma Stone Found A Way Out Of This Strange Saturday Night Live Rule

We've covered quite a few actors and actresses here at TV Fanatic, and while some of them have fallen into the "familiar face in the background" roles, none have snuck up on audiences like Olivia Munn.

One of her first acting gigs was that of "Claw Hostess" in the Steve Carell and Tina Fey comedy Date Night.

Although her part was small, the actress was one of the most memorable experiences of that movie—besides Mark Wahlberg shirtless, that is.

Though she looks like a model, Munn's career has focused solely on the small and big screen and live and scripted appearances.

In many ways, she's like that actor you notice when you rewatch movies from years ago, making you go, "Wait, isn't that what's her name from that thing?"

It's an extremely common occurrence with actors who turn into big names later in their careers. Don't believe me?...

Bachelor Nation star Rachel Recchia blames Bip cancellation on ‘stupid’ Season 9. What went wrong on her season of the show? Keep reading for her thoughts on the spinoff.

Bachelor In Paradise Put On Pause?

Bachelor In Paradise should be celebrating its 10th season this year. However, as time goes on without ABC renewing the spinoff, fans think the show has been shelved for this year.

Similar to the way Bravo has been putting shows or even cast members on ‘pause’ lately, it seems ABC is doing the same with Bip. Season 9 wasn’t well-received by fans and even worse, all three of the final couples broke up within days of the season finale airing.

Rachel Recchia Blames Cancellation On ‘Stupid’ Season 9

Rachel Recchia was one of the contestants on Season 9 of Bip. Her being there was a big deal because she was previously the co-lead on Season 19 of The Bachelorette with Gabby Windey.

Romantic comedies like Players may surprise you with deeper messages about love and relationships. Players pays tribute to iconic rom-coms like Hitch, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and The Ugly Truth. The key takeaway from Players is to be true to yourself and pursue love for the right reasons.

When you think about romantic comedies, two things often come to mind: the lead characters falling in love and the overall storyline being relatively predictable. Now, even though most fans can usually anticipate the ending just minutes into these movies, there is still a sense of excitement that comes with the process of watching two people awkwardly fumble through interactions before eventually accepting and admitting their love for one another.

Netflix sure knows the charming genre is a big hitter, and on Valentine's Day, the streaming service released a cheeky new rom-com entitled Players, with the Jane the Virgin star, Gina Rodriguez, and...

Despite recent successes, Ryan Gosling's best moments on screen are with Emma Stone in films like La La Land and Crazy, Stupid, Love. The 2024 Oscars served as a reminder of the on-screen magic shared by Gosling and Stone, prompting hopes for a new film collaboration. While a joke tweet sparked rumors of a reunion in Ryan Gosling's upcoming sci-fi movie, it seems unlikely they'll work together soon.

One moment at the 2024 Oscars proved that Ryan Gosling needs to break an eight-year career streak and return to what made some of his greatest movies. Of course, Ryan Gosling has had no problem finding success in the past eight years, with the sci-fi masterpiece Blade Runner 2049 and the $1 billion phenomenon of Barbie. However, many of Ryan Gosling's best movies came before his recent stretch, with The Gray Man and First Man being rather underwhelming in comparison.

For his iconic role as Ken in Barbie,...

Lady Gaga is standing up in support of Dylan Mulvaney.

The 37-year-old “Stupid Love” singer shared a photo with the 27-year-old trans TikTok sensation on social media, after Dylan posted a photo of the two together and wished everyone a Happy International Women’s Day on March 8, resulting in tons of anti-transgender hate comments.

“It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred,” Gaga began in a caption.

“When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it ‘backlash’ I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. ‘Backlash’ would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn’t like something we did. This is not backlash. This is hatred,” she continued.

“But it...

Ryan Gosling has never returned for a sequel or spin-off film in his 25-year-long career. His role as Ken in Barbie was a career-defining performance and a highlight of the film. While a sequel or spin-off might be fun, it is not necessary and probably shouldn't happen, despite the success of the first Barbie film.

If it actually happens, Barbie 2 — or even a Ken-centered spin-off — would mark a major career first for Barbie movie actor Ryan Gosling and his over 25-year-long career. The Oscar-nominated actor got his start on the Disney Channel's The Mickey Mouse Club during the mid-90s, and landed a few TV roles before starring in Sundance Film Festival's 2001 Grand Jury Prize-winner The Believer. From there, Gosling became a household name after appearing opposite Rachel McAdams in 2004's romantic drama The Notebook. The actor earned his first Academy Award nomination for 2006's indie drama Half Nelson.

Ryan Gosling has been stealing the hearts of audiences everywhere with his performance in Greta Gerwig's massive hit Barbie as Ken, everyone’s favorite, clueless doll to Margot Robbie's Barbie. It’s no question that Gosling is the perfect Ken, but before portraying this lovable character, the actor built up an impressive career with projects such as Crazy, Stupid, Love, Blue Valentine, The Notebook, and La La Land, making him one of the most established people in the industry. However, much like any other actor, Gosling also has a fair share of roles that he turned down or lost. In fact, the actor, whose next big movie is set to be David Leitch's The Fall Guy with Emily Blunt, almost played Jack Salmon in Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones, though lost the role for a very unexpected reason.
