These days, Sandra Bullock is basically Hollywood royalty. She's an Academy Award winner who's been nominated for the Best Actress Oscar twice, makes pretty consistently good movies, occasionally pops up in buzzy projects like "The Lost City" and "Ocean's Eight," and is one of the most recognizable performers in the entire industry. Back in the 1990s and 2000s, though, Bullock was pretty much known for one genre: romantic comedies. Now, one of her funniest, breeziest films is making waves on Netflix after landing in the number four spot on the streamer's top 10 movies on February 10, 2025 (as reported by FlixPatrol).
"Miss Congeniality," which hit theaters in 2000, casts Bullock as Gracie Hart, a tough-as-nails special agent for the FBI who never makes much of an effort to appear "ladylike" or "pretty." This approach isn't causing any problems for her generally, but when a case surfaces that involves a bomb threat at a Texas beauty pageant,...

We know not all shows will make it through a year, but that doesn’t mean we have to be happy about cancellations. NBC opted to cancel four shows in 2024, and another one is on the move to a streaming platform. Let’s take a look back at what we won’t watch in 2025.
The 2023–2024 TV season was certainly an odd one. With the writers strike and then the actors strike throughout the summer and fall of 2023, it made it much harder to get our favorite shows back. Most of them were held for the midseason, but others were able to get fall slots.
You would think that the fall slots would allow for a success. Sadly, that wasn’t the case for one series in particular. Meanwhile, another was canceled even before the strike action started, but didn’t officially end until 2024.

2024 might be the year of the film adaptation. While the year has seen numerous highs and lows, adaptations seem to be at the heart of the 2024 release calendar. While children's films sequels such as Moana 2 and Inside Out 2 have dominated the box office, so too have adaptations like It Ends With Us and Wicked. The abundance of adaptations over original content is often a criticism of the state of Hollywood right now, but the 2024 box office has shown that these films still do well commercially.
This year has also seen a number of comic book adaptations. Most notably, this includes Deadpool & Wolverine, a Marvel Comics adaptation that features the now-canonized titular MCU characters.

The original 1984 Ghostbusters was almost very, very different thanks to a few almost-castings that didn't happen. The beloved film continues to be iconic for its humorous look at the supernatural, and unique tonal storytelling within that genre. Ghostbusters starred Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Annie Potts, William Atherton, Ernie Hudson, and more. However, a number of the roles in the beloved cult classic film were almost played by other acclaimed actors.
The 1980s saw a boom in franchise films, including Ghostbusters. Many of these franchises started the careers of some of Hollywood's most beloved stars. Several actors who turned down Ghostbusters went on to star in their own massively successful franchises, most notably Jurassic Park, Beetlejuice, and several others. Without its iconic cast, Ghostbusters would not have become the cult classic it is today.

The world of Ghostbusters continues to expand, but now with an animated movie, and this new project can be the spiritual successor to one of the best animated shows of the 1980s. Back in 1984, the world met a group of parapsychologists investigating and eliminating ghosts in New York City in the supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. Directed by Ivan Reitman and created by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters followed the title team, formed by Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Aykroyd), Spengler (Ramis), and Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), on their ghost-hunting adventures.
The huge success of Ghostbusters made way for a franchise with a direct sequel, a failed reboot in 2016, and a second reboot with two movies, along with two animated TV shows, video games, and lots of merch. While a third movie in the current reboot timeline is in development, the Ghostbusters franchise is now also preparing another movie, but this one will be animated.

The franchise expanded earlier in 2024 with the theatrical release of the live-action Ghosbusters: Frozen Empire, which saw Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson reprising their roles from the original film. A Netflix Ghostbusters show is already in development at Netflix and is separate from the animated film project. Elliot Kalan is the showrunner of the developing animated series, while Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan are executive producers.
Deadline has now confirmed Sony Animation and Netflix are working on a Ghostbusters animated movie, with Kris Pearn attached to direct. Pearn previously directed Sony's Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 and the Netflix animated movie The Willoughbys, the latter of which has an impressive 92% Tomatometer score. Netflix's animated Ghostbusters movie is still in the early stages of development and plot details are being kept under wraps.

Zac Efron walks around on the set of his upcoming new movie Famous on Tuesday (December 10) in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old actor’s muscles could be seen through his tight yellow t-shirt as he looked to be having a snack in between filming scenes.
The day before, Zac was spotted wearing a suit while driving around in a yellow Ferrari.
In the upcoming movie, which is based on a novel by Blake Crouch, Zac will play the dual roles of Lance Dunkquist and James Jansen. The former is a fame-obsessed aspiring actor who is headed to Hollywood. Meanwhile, James is the already famous actor who closely resembles Lance.
The film “explores the dark side of celebrity and the lengths people will go to attain it.”
It was just recently announced that Daniel Zovatto and Bill Pullman have also been cast in the upcoming film, alongside Zac, Phoebe Dynevor, Nicholas Braun,...

The 1980s were full of underappreciated science fiction movies, particularly where Alien movies were concerned. The Alien movies began in the late 70s with Alien, but the franchise truly hit its stride in the 80s, with James Cameron's Aliens dominating the sci-fi scene alongside other extraterrestrial movies like The Thing and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The success of these films overshadowed a lot of lesser-known sci-fi movies of the 80s that deserve more credit.
Many of these films were admittedly driven by the success of Aliens, featuring space invaders that echoed the design and tactics of the Xenomorph creatures. A low budget can also be to blame for many of these B-films falling by the wayside over the years, with only the most dedicated cult followers singing their praises or even knowing of their existence. Science fiction in the 80s is so much better and more plentiful than most familiar with Aliens might realize.

The recent batch of Ghostbusters movies — not including the 2016 reboot that Sony has decided doesn’t exist, it seems — introduced the world to a new group of ethically-questionable paranormal cops, played by Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard. But it also incorporated the surviving members of the original Ghostbusters team (minus Rick Moranis who had better things to do).
The most recent entry in the series, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, was a modest box office hit earlier this year, making just over $200 million on a budget of $100 million. While it remains to be seen if the franchise will continue (Coon recently revealed that she’s yet to see a script for a follow-up), if we do get another Ghostbusters movie, it will probably be without the original cast.

Who you gonna call for the next Ghostbusters movie? Maybe not franchise mainstays Dan Aykroyd or Bill Murray. It seems as though the two original Ghostbusters may have hung up their proton packs for good, based on Aykroyd’s recent comments in an interview.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire scared up an impressive $188 million at the box office and even received a haunt attraction at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. The sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife once again reunited the original Ghostbusters with the new generation of Spenglers, furthering the bridge between original fans and newcomers.
When speaking with the New York Post while promoting his History Channel series The UnBelievable With Dan Aykroyd, the actor shared that he doesn’t expect that he or Murray will return for the expected sequel.

When there’s something strange in the neighborhood, the first people you’re gonna call are the Ghostbusters. But you better leave Ray Stantz off the list because Dan Aykroyd says he has no place in saving the world anymore.
Speaking with the New York Post, Dan Aykroyd confirmed that he doesn’t see a place for himself – or any of the original Ghostbusters – in the future of the franchise, simply because of how it has progressed over the last couple of entries. “I don’t see that coming. I don’t see where they would need us to carry it on. They’ve got a whole new cast, and they’ve got whole new ideas.”

Maybe don’t call Dan Aykroyd?
The writer-star of the 1984 Ghostbusters said it was unlikely he and Bill Murray would return to their iconic roles in the sci-fi comedy franchise.
“I don’t see that coming,” Aykroyd told the New York Post while promoting his History Channel series The UnBelievable With Dan Aykroyd.
The Og Saturday Night Live cast member and Oscar nominee continued, “I don’t see where they would need us to carry it on. They’ve got a whole new cast, and they’ve got whole new ideas.”
Aykroyd, Murray, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis starred as Manhattan-based paranormal investigators in the 1984 lighthearted action-horror movie, from a script by Aykroyd and Ramis, with Ivan Reitman directing. Also starring Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis, the pic became a critical and commercial success, spawning several sequels and reboots, as well as merchandise and a coveted spot in the cultural zeitgeist.

An original Ghostbusters star gave his blunt response on returning for future movies, after the underwhelming release of Frozen Empire. The supernatural comedy, starring Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson, first premiered in 1984 and became rooted in popular culture, successfully building a franchise that includes various sequels, video games, and more. Unfortunately, recent films, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire, maintained lower box office numbers, and the latter generated largely disparate reactions, earning a Rotten Tomatoes score of 42%.
During an interview with the New York Post, Aykroyd, who portrayed Ray Stantz in Ghostbusters and co-wrote the original films with Ramis, revealed that he does not anticipate making another appearance in the franchise. Aykroyd then explained that Ghostbusters will likely continue following the latest iteration of paranormal investigators. Read his comments below:
I dont see that coming. I dont see where they would need us to carry it on.

Ernie Hudson seems to have a love-hate relationship with the entire Ghostbusters series, acknowledging its significance in his career but also recognizing that the studio crossed the streams when it came to promoting the movies. But one aspect that shines above the rest is his admiration for Peter Venkman himself, Bill Murray, who he recognizes helped him star onboard for the 1989 sequel.
Appearing at the Rhode Island Comic Con over the weekend (via People), Ernie Hudson remembered that his casting in Ghostbusters II wasn’t exactly a guarantee. “Bill Murray is the only actor I think I’ve ever worked with who when they tried to get him to do another [Ghostbusters] — remember it was about 20 years before we came back with another movie after the second movie.

Ernie Hudson, known for his role as Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters franchise, reflected on how one co-star supported him in returning for 1989's Ghostbusters II. The original Ghostbusters (1984) became an iconic comedy hit, blending supernatural action with sharp humor alongside a stellar cast of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Hudson. Directed by Ivan Reitman, the film followed a group of parapsychologists who started a ghost-catching business in New York City. Its success led to the sequel, Ghostbusters II, which reunited the original cast to battle a new supernatural threat.
While attending a panel at the Rhode Island Comic Con (via People), Hudson shared a heartfelt memory of Murrays support during the early Ghostbusters days. Though his character, Winston, joined the team later in the first movie, he became a central figure, and Murrays support proved pivotal in ensuring Hudsons return for the sequel.

When "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" arrived in 2021, soaked in nostalgia, it gave Hasbro an excuse to dig back into the legacy of "Ghostbusters" and deliver new action figures of the original team of paranormal exterminators. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson all got new action figures from the original "Ghostbusters" in Hasbro's six-inch line of Plasma Series collectibles, as well as new figures inspired by their aged appearances (or ghostly in the case of the late Ramis) in "Afterlife." However, there was one signature element of "Ghostbusters" missing from this toy line, and Hasbro's crowdfunding collectible arm HasLab is rectifying that soon.

Sci-fi is always evolving as a genre, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to look back on the best of what sci-fi TV shows had to offer over the years. The 1990s were a standout decade for film and television, and as visual effects improved and the interest in speculative fiction grew stronger, there was plenty of opportunity for TV series to capitalize on this momentum. There is a style that's unique to sci-fi shows that came out during the '90s, and revisiting older TV shows can be a fun place to see how visuals have changed since then.
However, many of these hold up well today because of their storytelling and character-driven narratives. The '90s saw more prestige television and serialized narratives hitting the screen, and this impacted every genre.

Paul Feig partly blames Donald Trump for the backlash against his female-led 'Ghostbusters' movie.The 62-year-old filmmaker directed the 2016 reboot - which starred Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones - against the backdrop of a "really weird" political climate, which he thinks helped fuel the racist and sexist criticism the film faced.He told The Guardian newspaper: “The political climate of the time was really weird, with Hillary Clinton running for office in 2016.“There were a lot of dudes looking for a fight. When I was getting piled on, on Twitter, I’d go back and see who they were. So many were Trump supporters.“Then Trump came out against us. He was like, “They’re remaking Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford. You can’t do that. And now they’re making Ghostbusters with only women.

Paul Feig, director of 2016’s all-female reboot of Ghostbusters, partly blames Donald Trump for the racist and sexist criticism the movie received from online trolls.
During a recent interview with The Guardian, the filmmaker looked back at all the hate the action-comedy, starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, faced following its debut.
“The political climate of the time was really weird, with Hillary Clinton running for office in 2016,” he recalled. “There were a lot of dudes looking for a fight. When I was getting piled on, on Twitter, I’d go back and see who they were. So many were Trump supporters.”
It didn’t stop there, as Feig said Trump, who went on to become the U.S. president, only added fuel to the fire with his rhetoric.
“Then Trump came out against us,” the Jackpot! director said. “He was like, “They’re remaking Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford.

Paul Feig never intended to make “who you gonna call?” such a politically-charged question.
The Emmy-nominated writer and director explained that he made his 2016 female-led Ghostbusters reboot as it would have “felt weird” to continue with only part of the original cast after star Bill Murray publicly shot down the idea of a sequel.
“It had been 30 years and Bill and the gang were so iconic; I didn’t want to do anything that hurt the original movies,” Feig told The Guardian.
The reboot stars Kristen Wiig as physicist Erin Gilbert and Melissa McCarthy as paranormal researcher Abby Yates, who reunite years after trying to prove that ghosts exist in modern society. When strange apparitions pop up in Manhattan, they turn to engineer Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) and lifelong New Yorker Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) for help.

“The political climate of the time was really weird, with Hillary Clinton running for office in 2016,” explained Feig.

Paul Feig said in a new interview with The Guardian that a lot of the vitriol he faced online during the release of his female “Ghostbusters” reboot in summer 2016 stemmed from supporters of Donald Trump, who infamously called out the reboot in a video post. The film starred Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones as the eponymous paranormal investigators.
“The political climate of the time was really weird, with Hillary Clinton running for office in 2016,” Feig said. “There were a lot of dudes looking for a fight. When I was getting piled on, on Twitter, I’d go back and see who they were. So many were Trump supporters. Then Trump came out against us. He was like: ‘They’re remaking Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford. You can’t do that. And now they’re making ‘Ghostbusters’ with only women. What’s going on?’ and got all upset.

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, a 1992 thriller about a nanny who operates way outside of her job description, is set to be Maika Monroe’s next leading role in the wake of Longlegs’ success.
The 1990s was a vintage era for thrillers, especially of the domestic variety. Whether it was neighbours, tenants, or the friendly neighbourhood cop suddenly revealing a dark side, the decade made it clear to audiences that suburbia wasn’t as cosy as they thought.
Films like Arlington Road, Pacific Heights and Unlawful Entry are all successful examples of the 90s thriller, but one film that really caught the imagination of audiences was 1992’s The Hand That Rocked The Cradle, directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Rebecca De Mornay as a nanny who gets a bit too close to the family she’s caring for.

1992's The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is getting a remake featuring one of the stars of Longlegs. The original 1990s psychological thriller followed a young mother named Claire Bartel (Annabella Sciorra) who finds herself targeted by Mrs. Mott (Rebecca De Mornay), the widow of her abusive doctor, who poses as a nanny in an attempt to kill her and take over her family. The movie, which also starred Matt McCoy, Ernie Hudson, and Julianne Moore, earned $140 million against its roughly $12 million budget, becoming the ninth highest-grossing title at the domestic box office for the year.

John Candy was one of the most beloved comedians of the 1980s and 1990s who had plenty of incredibly underrated movies that didnt get enough love. While the late actor died tragically young at age 43, this was not before leaving the world with some of the most iconic comedic performances ever put to the screen in classics like Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck. However, for every legendary Candy performance, there was another hidden gem that, despite being equally hilarious, failed to gain the same lasting legacy as his best-known work.
The best John Candy movies included acclaimed collaborations with comedy greats like Steve Martin, Bill Murray, and Mel Brooks, although lesser-known releases also paired him with the likes of Tom Hanks, Dan Aykroyd, and Richard Pryor. While some underrated movies suffered from lackluster screenplays, Candys vulnerable sincerity and likable comedic charm helped elevate them into solid comedies. There...
