When I was a kid, I wanted to watch every Alison Lohman movie I could find. The actor may not be a household name, but throughout the 2000s, she starred in some of the most interesting films being made, often opposite more experienced stars like Michelle Pfieffer, Nicolas Cage, and Ewan McGregor. Lohman always played characters younger than herself, and I mentally categorized her alongside other teen stars of the moment like AnnaSophia Robb and Keke Palmer -- even though she was born in 1979.
Sometimes, Lohman was cast as a cherubic beauty, but other times she played thornier characters, including troubled teens, child con artists, and, perhaps most famously, a "hag"-hating promotion-seeker. The actor had appeared in fewer than two dozen movies in her career, yet the majority of them were compelling in some way. Then, around 2009, she largely disappeared from the spotlight. In the decade and a half since,...

The first season of "Ahsoka" marked the franchise's biggest swing yet in transforming the animated side of the property, spearheaded by George Lucas' heir apparent Dave Filoni, into the world of live-action. The fan-favorite Jedi (played by Rosario Dawson) finally received her long-awaited continuation after the events of both "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "Star Wars Rebels," as she teamed up once again with her old crew made up of Sabine Wren (now played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in order to track down the missing Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi). The new series left us on yet another significant cliffhanger ending at the end of its first season, as old menace Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) had his sights set on conquering the galaxy at large.

Earlier this week, we learned that Game of Thrones star Rory McCann will take over from the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka season 2. If the cast is starting to come together, then work on the Star Wars TV series must now be well underway.
The first batch of episodes ended on a huge cliffhanger when Grand Admiral Thrawn returned to the main Galaxy and closed in on Dathomir alongside the Great Mothers. Ezra Bridger, meanwhile, reunited with Hera Syndulla, though Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren were left stranded on Peridea with no way home.
However, the Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker was shown watching over them in the finale's closing moments, the first time we've seen the Jedi-turned-Sith-turned-Jedi in that form since Return of the Jedi.
It probably won't surprise you then that, according to Kristian Harloff, Hayden Christensen is expected to have a "pretty big role...

Work on Ahsoka Season 2 is moving forward, especially with Rory McCann taking over the role of Baylan Skoll after the passing of Ray Stevenson. The first season left us with some major developments, including the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn and his arrival on Dathomir alongside the Great Mothers.
Meanwhile, Ezra Bridger reunited with Hera Syndulla, but Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren were stranded on Peridea. In the finale’s closing moments, the Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker appeared, hinting at more to come.
According to Kristian Harloff, Hayden Christensen will play a “pretty big role” in the upcoming season. Alongside him, Ariana Greenblatt is set to return as young Ahsoka. The most exciting news? Ewan McGregor could reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi!
Dave Filoni is writing the new season and hinted at recreating key moments from The Clone Wars, possibly involving the Mortis Gods. This move seems perfect...

If you're remotely familiar with Hot Toys, then you'll know collectors prioritise screen accuracy over everything. That starts with the costumes and extends to the likeness of the actors and characters these pricey action figures bring to life in 1/6th scale.
Today, Hot Toys has unveiled its Human Torch figure based on Johnny Storm's surprise appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine and...well, that Chris Evans head sculpt looks more like Ewan McGregor than the former Captain America in the eyes of many.
There's definitely something a little off with the head sculpt for this figure but the costume is perfect and the effects used to have Johnny "Flame On" are magnificent.
We'd imagine those will be utilised for the upcoming Human Torch figure based on Joseph Quinn's likeness in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

With last night's Golden Globe win for Best Actor in an anthology, limited series, or TV movie for his lead performance as Oz Cobb in The Penguin, Colin Farrell joins the very small circle of just three actors who have been honoured at the awards ceremony for playing comic book villains - and their characters all happen to be Batman foes.
Farrell was asked about joining the late Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix, who both previously won Golden Globes for their respective portrayals of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and Todd Phillips' Joker.
“You mentioned two actors who are, I think, for my money, two of the most extraordinarily talented and gifted and just brilliant artists in films that I’ve ever had the fortune to observe and be affected by," the Irish actor tells Variety. "What Heath did in Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight was extraordinary,...

After multiple issues, controversies, personnel changes, and mergers, the Dceu is finally done and dusted, with James Gunn taking over the reins as co-chief of DC Studios along with Peter Safran. The franchise, which was supposed to be a competitor to the MCU, crashed and burned but it was not without some genuinely good films.
The SnyderVerse is never happening. It is a miracle that fans even got the Snyder Cut. However, like how Gunn took the disastrous Suicide Squad and gave it a good direction with The Suicide Squad, there are a few more films from the Dceu that deserved better. Here are four films that need a second chance in the Dcu.

Here’s What Colin Farrell’s Golden Globes 2025 Win For The Penguin Has In Common With Heath Ledger & Joaquin Phoenix(Photo Credit – YouTube)
The 82nd Golden Globe Awards Ceremony finally unfolded on Sunday, offering a handful of surprises and snubs while setting the stage for the next three months of awards season, including the Oscars. The ceremony celebrated achievements in both television and film, with one notable winner being HBO’s The Penguin. Colin Farrell, who reprised his role as the titular Batman villain from the Robert Pattinson-starrer 2022 film, The Batman, won Best Performance in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television.
Thanks to his second outing as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, also known as The Penguin, Farrell triumphed in a competitive category featuring performances by Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer), Kevin Kline (Disclaimer), Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Ewan McGregor (A Gentleman in Moscow...

Inside the Beverly Hilton at Sunday’s Golden Globes provided a dramatically different viewing experience from anything you saw on television. Gold Derby’s reporters were stationed throughout the room, the backstage area, and, yes, the bar to record all the key moments that weren’t broadcast by CBS’ camera crews.
Here’s the best of what we saw.
Serious security
In the wake of the New Orleans terrorist attack, the level of security at the Globes was unprecedented. The streets surrounding the Beverly Hilton were cleared of vehicles and there was a more pronounced police presence from years past. The shuttle ferrying production crew, publicists, and media from the off-site lot to the Hilton had to navigate a circuitous route through and around secruity, making the normally 2-minute trip into a 20-minute odyssey.

Colin Farrell took home the Golden Globe for best actor in a limited or anthology series or a motion picture made for television for his role in The Penguin on Sunday night.
After being presented the award by Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, Farrell first quipped that he had no one to thank. “No one to thank on this when I did it all by myself,” he joked. “Just a raw, pared-away performance.”
Farrell proceeded to express his appreciation for everyone who helped bring the series to life. “Too many people to thank. You all know it takes a village, whether it’s on the small screen or the big screen,” he says. “I’m here on the backs of the talents of so many people through the years. Maybe this one more than others because of Mike Marino, who designed the makeup, [and] his extraordinary makeup team.”

Colin Farrell — who blew way fans this year with his transformation into a classic DC villain — won the Golden Globe for Best Acting in the limited series The Penguin.

Farrell, who beat Kevin Kline (Disclaimer), Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Ewan Mcgregor (A Gentleman In Moscow), Andrew Scott (Ripley) and Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer), had a special word for the latter actor during his acceptance speech Sunday at the Golden Globes.

Once upon a time, in the years before 2009 when "Taken" somehow took cinemas by storm, Liam Neeson used to act in all different kinds of movies. Before "Taken" and its many sequels, Neeson starred in movies ranging from the ultra-saccharine Christmas romantic comedy "Love Actually" to genre fare like "The Haunting" remake and "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace." He played Jean Valjean in the 1998 adaptation of "Les Misérables" and brought numerous historical figures to life, including Irish Republican Army founder Michael Collins, 18th-century Scottish highlander Rob Roy, and German industrialist and humanitarian Oskar Schindler.
Unfortunately, since "Taken," Neeson pretty much only stars in action thrillers, like his absolutely abysmal 2022 movie "Blacklight," which is currently the prolific actor's lowest Rotten Tomatoes score. He starred in plenty of great films before that, however, including one of director Steven Spielberg's best movies: the multiple Academy Award-winning "Schindler's List." It should...

Recently, Disney revealed the costs behind several Star Wars shows, including The Acolyte and Andor. Via Comic Basics, we now know exactly how much it cost to make both seasons of the prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the numbers are eye-popping.
Andor costs a mind-boggling $645 million to produce, and these numbers could increase depending on the final data, which could vary due to production delays. Andor went into production in November 2022, but had to stop because of the SAG-AFTRA strikes. Production resumed in January 2023 and wrapped up soon after. Regarding how much Season 2 costs out of the total $645 million, Disney revealed that number is in the ballpark of 290.9 million dollars.
In other words, production on Andor Season 2 costs nearly 300 million dollars. This is an unheard-of amount for any Star Wars production, and it's near the top of the list in terms of the budgets of television series.

Spanning 11 live-action feature films and six live-action TV shows (and counting), the “Star Wars” universe is ever-expanding. And starting with the very first installment, filmmaker George Lucas made clear to audiences that he was telling a saga out of order. The title “Episode IV: A New Hope” underlined there was both a past and a future beyond the 1977 film, and indeed this saga has moved forward and backward in time throughout its history, telling a number of different kinds of stories in a galaxy far, far away.
To that end, whether you’re new to the franchise or hold it dear as a favorite film series, you may be looking for a way to watch all the “Star Wars” movies in order. From young Anakin Skywalker to Rey Palpatine, we’ve got the full story in order below.

Tennessee Williams sets Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, his 1955 play about sexual repression, at a cotton plantation on the Mississippi Delta. You can feel the heat in director Rebecca Frecknall’s production at the Almeida Theatre starring a scorching Daisy Edgar-Jones as Maggie, the cat in question, who does all in her power to jolt her inattentive husband, Brick — played superbly by Kingsley Ben-Adir — out of his self-inflicted stupor.
The play opened just a few days ago and there’s already chatter about it transferring into the West End, most appropriately, next summer, and Edgar-Jones must be persuaded to move with it, along with Ben-Adir, Lennie James’ powerful Big Daddy and Clare Burt’s cotton-headed Big Mama.
Edgar-Jones’ Maggie the cat is a study in the art of allure, and calculation; she prowls the Almeida stage like a hungry feline wanting to play with her prey before gobbling it up,...

When you're in "Star Wars," you don't always need that many lines or that much screen time to become a fan favorite. Just ask Ray Park, who quickly shot to fame within the fandom after playing Darth Maul in 1999's "The Phantom Menace." Park doesn't utter a single word as the character, as Maul's few lines were dubbed over by Peter Serafinowicz. When the character was resurrected for "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "Star Wars Rebels," he was voiced by veteran voice actor Sam Witwer instead. But Park's version of Maul has remained near and dear to fans' hearts due to his unforgettable physical presence and martial arts ability. And yet, he likely would have never been cast if not for a truly terrible movie.

It's a common refrain that the sequel is never as good as the original, with some movie sequels that truly didn't need to happen tainting the first film's legacy. Every so often, a sequel like "The Dark Knight" or "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" comes along that's just as good, if not better, than the first. These are the follow-ups that build upon a solid foundation to keep the characters' journeys going. But what happens when that foundation is filled with cracks and holes?
A bad movie doesn't bode well for a series' future. Whether the first movie got off to a rocky start or a franchise is already a few films deep and starting to lose its luster, it can be easy to write the whole thing off. But there are those rare cases where a sequel to an awful movie turns out to be pretty good, if not downright fantastic.

As proven in David Fincher’s 2023 Netflix thriller The Killer, few have a cooler “I shall hunt you down and kill you” look than Michael Fassbender. Though perhaps he’s been matched by Cate Blanchett, his co-star in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming thriller Black Bag.
The trailer, which just debuted on Tuesday morning, shows the two as elite London-based intelligence operatives (or something) and also a married couple. Security footage reveals that Blanchett’s character is in cahoots with some potential baddies, so Fassbender is tasked with taking her down. The film looks like a more serious spin on the Doug Liman action-comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, recently relaunched as an Amazon Prime Video series with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. A couple in love assigned to take the other out was also the premise of John Huston’s late career winner Prizzi’s Honor...

Over the years, the Star Wars prequels have grown more liked and appreciated than they were when they were released.
There's been a prequel-era renaissance of late, with the return of Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor to the franchise, and The Clone Wars' greatest young Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, making her live-action debut.
But not long ago, when Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones was released, the movie was met with heavy criticism for its dependence on CGI, green screens, blue screens, and other fancy filmmaking techniques pioneered by George Lucas. Hayden Christensen, who stepped into young Jake Lloyd's shoes as the teenaged Anakin Skywalker, was harshly criticized for his take on the reckless and emotional young Jedi, who would one day become Darth Vader.
Years later, opinions have shifted, and fans who loved the movie have grown up and have more of a voice. As something of a surprise,...

Star Wars: 3 TV Shows That Were Meant To Be Movies (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Were you aware that some of our favorite Star Wars TV shows were meant for the big screen? Yes, before the galaxy far, far away embraced the binge-watching era, a few ideas were crafted as blockbuster movies. However, due to The Mandalorian’s smashing success in 2019, Disney+ became the new playground for Star Wars adventures.
This shift wasn’t just about streaming; it was about reimagining how the saga could thrive on the small screen. While many planned Star Wars films fizzled out after Solo’s flop, a few found new life as TV shows. According to Screen Rant, these three surprise Star Wars hits swapped cinema seats for couch cushions.

There's no denying that the four kids at the heart of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew are largely responsible for the positive attention the show is getting, but everything about the story got more intriguing with the introduction of Jude Law's Jod Na Nawood. The Academy Award-nominated British actor has won praise and twenty awards for his work, and as of December 12, 2024, he is a permanent part of Los Angeles when Law received a star on the Walk of Fame.
What is the Walk of Fame?
The Hollywood Walk of Fame has been an attraction in Los Angeles since February 9, 1960. California tourism site Or Los Angeles quotes its champion E.M. Stuart as proposing a "'boulevard of stars' to showcase the contributions of artists to the entertainment industry." It covers three blocks of Vine Street and 15 blocks on Hollywood Boulevard.

From the ground up, "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" seems tailor-made for fans of the original trilogy, and specifically for anyone who saw that 1977 Mos Eisley cantina scene and thought there should be a lot more stories about those guys. It's a scoundrel's show, full of pirate dens, retrofitted blaster pistols, alien puppets, and practical effects. And yet, the longer the series goes on, the more it reveals its hand as a love letter to a very different "Star Wars" movie and one that has received very little love in the Disney era: "The Phantom Menace."
While animated series like "Star Wars Rebels" and "The Bad Batch" have featured young children in prominent roles, we haven't had major live-action child protagonists in the franchise since Jake Lloyd donned the role of Anakin Skywalker back in 1999. And yet, re-centering younger characters in a galactic adventure feels as core to the franchise as X-wings and lightsabers.

On a scale of one to 10, Cooper Koch is a “three million” after receiving a Golden Globes nomination on Monday morning for his leading role on “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” “This is truly one of the best Mondays I have ever had,” he tells Gold Derby. “I heard from Ryan [Murphy] this morning — he sent me a congratulatory text. And I texted Javier [Bardem]. It’s so exciting!”
Koch is really looking forward to seeing Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the stars of “Wicked,” at the January ceremony, plus he wants “to hang out with Mikey Madison” from “Anora.” As for his suit, “I know who I’m wearing already. I have that locked and loaded.” But what about a potential speech? “I’ll have to start this week, I guess. Maybe I’ll just ask [Ryan] for some tips — he’s a great writer. Maybe I just should ask...

Warner Bros. shuffled its film release schedule, planting “Final Destination: Bloodlines” on the calendar in summer and delaying the J.J. Abrams-backed mystery thriller “Flowervale Street” to 2026.
“Final Destination 6” will be released on May 16, 2025. It’s taking over the slot previously occupied by “Flowervale Street,” which was set for mid May but has been pushed nearly a year to March 13, 2026. “Final Destination: Bloodlines” is the only major studio release on that date, but it will debut two weeks after Disney’s Marvel adventure “Thunderbolts” (May 2) and the week prior to Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” and Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” (May 23).
The studio also acquired “Animal Friends,” a live-action/ CGI hybrid road trip adventure starring Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza and TikToker Addison Rae, and pushed its release date back to Oct. 10. Sony was previously set to release the film in August before Warner Bros.

The studio also acquired “Animal Friends,” a live-action/ CGI hybrid road trip adventure starring Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Aubrey Plaza and TikToker Addison Rae, and pushed its release date back to Oct. 10. Sony was previously set to release the film in August before Warner Bros.

The upcoming 82nd Golden Globe Awards will be held on January 5, 2025. With the ceremony less than a month away, the nominations are slowly being revealed, and we are happy to report that one of the best miniseries we’ve seen this year has nabbed a major nomination!
Of course, we are talking about Max’ The Penguin, a series that captivated the hearts of fans and critics alike and is now considered to be one of the best series of the years and one of the best series in its genre, which is why this piece of news is so great.
The Penguin has been nominated in the Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film category, which more or less confirms its status as a miniseries. While The Penguin is definitely one of the hottest contenders, the competition—as you will see—is quite strong.
