Known mostly for appearing in such films as “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “The English Patient,” Kristin Scott Thomas is one of those actresses who only occasionally snares a lead role but always ends up making an impression.

During a dark moment in Bing Liu’s “Preparation for the Next Life,” our protagonist, Aishe (Sebiye Behtiyar), seeks guidance in a place she did not think she’d return to: a mosque. An undocumented Uyghur immigrant from China, Aishe has left behind the religion in which she was raised, but feeling alone and stuck in New York City, she turns toward this place of cultural familiarity, where the ...

Paramount has inked a film deal with video game giant Activision to bring the popular franchise "Call of Duty" to the big screen, in the latest example of the media company's continued spending spree under new Chief Executive David Ellison.

Stitch, Superman and a flock of creepy children drew audiences to movie theaters this summer, but it wasn't enough to jolt box office revenue past even the dreary levels reached last year.

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson were never dating – their flirty red carpet vibes were actually part of a marketing stunt for their movie “The Naked Gun,” according to reports.

In the 1994 film “Reality Bites,” the character Lelaina (Winona Ryder) asks her friend Troy (Ethan Hawke) to define the term “irony.” Without hesitation, Troy responds. “It’s when the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning,” he says.

In 2024, married filmmakers Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke posed a cheeky question with their screwball caper “Drive-Away Dolls” – what if crime comedies could be way less masculine, and way more sapphic? Working in a style and tone that could only be described as “late ’90s Tarantino rip-off,” the two essentially “queered” that particular subgenre with a wild, wacky and sexually uninhibited sensibility.

Terence Stamp, the prolific English actor who played General Zod in the “Superman” films and earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the title character in “Billy Budd,” has died. He was 87.

Just about anyone can be an action hero when production company 87North – the team behind the “John Wick” franchise – is behind the camera. They proved that in 2021 when they made comedian and “Better Call Saul” star Bob Odenkirk a surprise badass in the hyper-violent dadsploitation flick “Nobody.”

“Freakier Friday,” in theaters this weekend, marks a triumphant big-screen comeback for Lindsay Lohan, the irrepressible star of “Mean Girls” and more, who endured her fair share of tabloid scrutiny and infamy. Her charming and spunky screen presence made her a child and teenage star, but she stumbled through a rocky patch in her 20s with misguided life and career choices. But with “Freakier Friday” in theaters, it’s the perfect time to trace her career through her filmography, including all the ups and downs.

It was on the fourth hole at Downriver Golf Course that I heard something that irked me.

Paramount has been running a PSA-style ad for their reboot of “The Naked Gun,” with star Liam Neeson imploring the viewer to save a comedy movie by purchasing a ticket. It’s hard to believe the big-screen comedy is an endangered species, but everyone seems to be getting their laughs on smaller screens. Even superstar Adam Sandler’s latest efforts go to Netflix.

LOS ANGELES — The high-stakes romantic comedy “Oh, Hi!” is a backhanded compliment to lotharios like Rudolph Valentino, James Bond and “The Wolf of Wall Street’s” Jordan Belfort. At least those frank seducers wanted quickies. Fickle Isaac (Logan Lerman) strings women along pretending to be a sweetheart. Four months into dating Iris (a bubbly Molly Gordon), he whisks the smitten girl on a ...

Christopher McDonald does not deliver threats in rhymes. He does not tell fans to go back to their shanties. He would never say he eats “pieces of s--- like you for breakfast.” (He’d prefer to have a green smoothie with protein powder, spinach and fruit.) He is not, in other words, Shooter McGavin. But also, kind of, isn’t he?

Walt Disney Co.'s live-action adaptation "Lilo & Stitch" has now generated more than $1 billion in worldwide box office revenue, becoming the first U.S. film of the year to do so.

Call her Emma Walks-on. Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in all eight “Harry Potter” films, lost her driving privileges for six months Wednesday in Britain after racking up more than a dozen points on her driving record in the space of two years.

Imagine for a moment that your Alexa – or Siri or whatever artificial intelligence you might be using – was sentient. Which meant that it not only understands what you want but also judges you as it decides whether to comply.

In every one of his films, writer/director Ari Aster has unpacked a trauma, usually his own. In the folk horror film “Midsommar,” it was relationships, while in “Hereditary,” “Beau Is Afraid,” and his short film, “The Strange Thing About the Johnsons,” he dove into family trauma to horrifying and absurdly comic ends. In his new film, “Eddington,” Aster tackles a collective American trauma using the most American of genres, the Western. That he trains his lens on recent history might feel too hot to handle, but it doesn’t mean that we can or should look away.
