Can we stop for a second and just stew with the fact that Delroy Lindo is BRITISH? I always knew that in concept, but he uses his native accent so scarcely I forget every single time it comes up. That doesn’t have anything to do with the latest casting announcement, but I had to get it out there for my own sanity. Regardless of origin or accent, the famed and beloved actor is officially joining the cast of the upcoming “Blade” revival from Marvel Studios. The still in development reboot will feature academy award winner Mahershala Ali as the titular…

For my birthday which just recently passed, I decided to take a little hiatus from just about everything work-related. That included reviews, but didn’t include going to the movies! With a week of free time and a Regal’s Unlimited Pass, I decided to catch up on a few films I missed. Rather than attempt to do individual reviews for each of the 5 films (would’ve been more if I hadn’t messed up the times with the wrong theaters), I am opting to do a compilation quick review list. The reality is, most of the films have been out for at…

Be still my fat heart! I can feel my arteries clogging up just by looking at this monstrosity of peanut buttery chocolaty goodness. This year, Hershey unveiled their largest Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ever made. It weighs in at 3.25lbs, and measures 9 inches long. It’s basically a laptop made out of candy. Oh, and the calories? The box says it’s meant to have 48 slices at 160 calories per slice. For those wanting to know the math, this whopping gargantuan sugar high tops out at 7,680 calories per box. Case in point: wear sweatpants to Thanksgiving this year. You’re…

Sometimes, you discover things like Kristen Stewart developing a gay ghost hunting reality series and you just have SO many questions.

In an interview with the New Yorker, Stewart was asked about some of her upcoming projects, as her film “Spencer” is getting praise for her performance as Princess Diana. She revealed that she is hard at work on her first directorial debut “The Chronology of Water,” but also dropped a bombshell of an idea that revealed a gay ghost hunting show…

Like many of you, I have not had a chance to see “Eternals” early. I too will have to wait until the film hits theaters to actually see it and develop my own opinion. This is typically the argument that people apply to films they want to like but can’t reconcile their own biases with what the critics are saying. This often results in comments like “critics don’t matter anyway” and “no one trusts Rotten Tomatoes” or “they all have it wrong, they haven’t seen it yet and I love it so everyone else is wrong.” We continually see this…

It is a bittersweet trailer drop for fans of the acclaimed Spanish series “Money Heist.” For some, it is exciting to see how it’s all coming to end and how our titular anti-heroes may or may not make it out alive. For others, it is clear that there is a definitive ending to the beloved show, and the trailer seems to indicate that we haven’t seen the last of shocking, final moments for beloved characters. “Money Heist” has made it a staple to delete fan favorites without a warning, a sort of proverbial “Game of Thrones” approach to a heist…
