When "Star Trek: The Next Generation" first began in 1987, LeVar Burton was probably the biggest star in the cast. He had already been nominated for three Emmys, once in 1977 for playing Kunta Kinte in the celebrated miniseries "Roots," and two more in 1985 and 1986 for hosting the beloved book-based kid program "Reading Rainbow." The latter show would end up netting him 12 Emmy wins between 1990 and 2007, and cement his reputation as one of his generation's preeminent TV celebrities. The fact that he would be selected to play chief engineer Geordi La Forge on "Star Trek" only more deeply entrenched Burton in the public's awareness. 

Geordi La Forge was, more than anything, a nerd. He was deeply interested in machines and engines, and Burton was given the lion's share of NextGen's nonsensical polysyllabic technobabble. He was also notoriously undersexed. Geordi was equipped with a visor that tapped directly into his brain, feeding him...

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have crossed one more non-Marvel Cinematic Universe entry off their list this week with the release of their new sci-fi film "The Electric State." Based on the book by Simon Stålenhag, the film sees Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt traverse an alternative 1995, where robots that were once servants to humanity have been abandoned and ostracised following a failed rebellion against their makers. It's among these rusty and worn-down bots, however, that Brown's Michelle finds allies to be reunited with her brother, whom she believed was long since dead, and who could hold the key to bringing the bots back into winning back their rights.

There is a wealth of impressive talent bringing the CGI characters of "The Electric State" to life, though their voices might be hard to recognize on first viewing. To help you navigate the cast, here's a list of hardwired...

Mexican American recording label Rancho Humilde is expanding into feature movies with the Columbia Pictures and Sony Music Vision movie Clika from Michael Greene. The pic has an Aug. 15 theatrical release.

Clika follows an aspiring musician’s relentless fight to preserve his family’s legacy, marking a pivotal moment in the global representation of Mexican-American stories. The movie stars Rancho Humilde artist and rising star Jay Dee. Rancho Humilde is behind the “corridos tumbados” Latin music genre and counts a roster of performing artists including Fuerza Regida, Junior H, Natanael Cano, and more.

Jimmy Humilde, CEO of Rancho Humilde, says “This film paves the way for a whole new era of opportunity and representation for Mexican-American creators in Hollywood.

The Academy saluted Hollywood — still standing despite the terrible wildfires in January — with a montage featuring some of the most magical moments from movies filmed in L.A., including two from “La La Land,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” “Chinatown,” “Straight Outta Compton” and “Mulholland Drive.”

You can watch the video below, titled “The Oscars Love L.A.” and read on for the list of movies that go all the way back to 1973’s “The Long Goodbye.”

The clip begins with Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) saying, “There’s no place like home,” and a shot of the Hollywood sign.

The best Woody Harrelson movies and TV shows reveal just how underutilized the award-winning actor truly is in many of his most widely recognized roles. Born in Texas in 1961, Woody Harrelson has been an active presence on screens since 1985 (following a brief stint as an uncredited extra in movies like 1978’s Harpy Valley PTA). However, it would take some years before Woody Harrelson managed to find his way to the spotlight, with his big break coming in 1985 with the role of Woody Boyd in the hit sitcom Cheers.

Following his part in Cheers, Woody Harrelson’s career began progressing at a much faster pace. Roles in movies like 1992’s White Men Can’t Jump, 1993’s Indecent Proposal, and 1994’s Natural Born Killers helped keep his name in the spotlight. Audiences couldn’t get enough of his unique vocal delivery thanks to his soothing-yet-invigorating strong Texan accent. As the years progressed, the...

Don’t you love it when someone posts something that wasn’t meant for the world to see? That line might sound like a sarcastic jab, but in the case of Laura Harrier, the story is no different, only with a twist that has left the internet buzzing.

Let’s rewind to 2022. The Marvel star confirmed that she was engaged to Sam Jarou. The couple had been quietly building their relationship. Flash forward to more recent times. A video from around the same time, featuring Harrier and Shameik Moore, was circulating on social media. The problem? She didn’t want it out there anymore.

She recently made it clear that the video, dating back a year ago, should be taken down, especially given her engagement. The confusion around the video sparked even more curiosity among fans, who couldn’t help but notice the odd timing.

Known for his sports films such as White Men Can’t Jump and Bull Durham, writer-director Ron Shelton has shown time and again that he is more than capable of making a sports movie work. However, when his 1999 feature Play It to the Bone was released, it was a total box office flop despite having a massive cast of familiar faces. Critics panned it, fans were left unsatisfied, and the film wasn’t even able to break even on its $24 million budget. Essentially, it was a failure on every front. Today, it holds a miserable 11% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.

After 25 years, though, it might be time to revisit the film. It’s not all bad — the story follows two aging boxers: Vince Boudreau (Woody Harrelson) and Cesar Dominguez (Antonio Banderas). When an opportunity arises for these two good friends to have one last fight, they happily take the chance. The...

Netflix is bringing the holiday cheer with a twist this year, diving into “Die Hard” territory with their action-packed Christmas thriller, Carry-On. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, known for The Shallows and Non-Stop, the film follows a Tsa agent who gets caught in a high-stakes game when he’s blackmailed into smuggling a dangerous package through airport security. With a stellar cast of familiar faces, here’s your guide to the characters and the actors that bring Carry-On to life.

‘Carry-On’: Complete Cast & Characters Guide of the Netflix Original Movie Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek

Taron Egerton stars as Ethan Kopek, a Tsa agent aspiring to become a police officer. His life takes a sharp turn when he’s coerced into helping a criminal sneak a mysterious bag onto a plane. Egerton is best known for his roles as Eggsy in the Kingsman films, Elton John in Rocketman, and Johnny in the animated Sing franchise.

Following the rollout of their more traditional holiday fare, Netflix is heading into “Die Hard” territory with the release of their Christmas-set action movie “Carry-On” — and it’s got a cast full of familiar faces.

Directed by “The Shallows” and “Non-Stop” filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra, the film follows a Tsa agent and wannabe cop who gets his chance to bring down the bad guys when a mysterious traveler blackmails him to get a dangerous package through airport security.

Here’s a handy guide to the “Carry-On” cast and where you might have seen them before.

Carry-On. Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek in Carry-On. Cr. Netflix © 2024. Taron Egerton as Ethan Kopek

Taron Egerton plays Tsa agent Ethan Kopek, who gets blackmailed into helping a criminal sneak a mystery bag onto a plane. Egerton’s best-known roles include Eggsy in the “Kingsman” films, Elton John in “Rocketman” and the voice of Johnny in the animated “Sing” movies.

Is this the first time a marketing idea came before a movie script? I couldn’t help but wonder after watching Netflix’s inept and time-wasting thriller Carry On. It feels as if the studio said to themselves, “Let’s make a movie that answers the question, Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?”

With the advent of Hollywood AI, I’d bet my salary against the president of Netflix’s salary that this was the case. Carry On is a blatant rip-off of better films, particularly Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Worse, the script thinks it’s smarter than it is, dragging down a fun performance by Jason Bateman.

It’s hard to imagine many actors having as much bona fides in the world of boxing as Rosie Perez. The Oscar-nominated star of “Do the Right Thing,” “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Fearless,” and “Birds of Prey,” has been a boxing fan for decades and is so aligned with the sport that famed broadcaster Al Bernstein once dubbed her the “First Lady of Boxing.”

“I grew up like the boxers,” she once told the New York Times. “I grew up hard knocks. But I learned to fight my way through life. You get knocked down, you get back up again. I think that’s why boxing resonated with me so much even as a little girl.”

So it comes as little surprise that Perez jumped at the chance to sit down with actors Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal to discuss their new Hulu series “La Maquina.” The limited series...

Ted Danson apologized on Wednesday to Kelsey Grammer for a 30-year-old rift that occurred when they were both on “Cheers.”

The two discussed their relative falling out on the latest episode of Danson’s SiriusXM’s podcast “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.”

Danson recalled a time when he “got angry” with his costar, who played Dr. Frasier Crane on the NBC sitcom and on the spinoff “Frasier.”

Watch the conversation in the video above.

“This isn’t self-deprecating, but I wish — I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the Cheers years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once,” Danson told Grammer.

“Yeah, you came and told me that one day,” Grammer replied, although neither one of them elaborated what the argument was about.

“It’s stuck in both of our memories,” Danson continued. “But I feel like, f–k, I don’t know.

A visit from Dax Shepard meant a trip down movie memory lane for Woody Harrelson this week on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast. First, Harrelson complained about censors and their “pretty random” cuts to one of his first movies, Natural Born Killers. The edits “really worked to the detriment of the artist’s vision,” he said.

But that wasn’t Harrelson’s first break on the big screen. “I’m just remembering you actually did White Men Can't Jump before that, right?” asked Shepard. “Was that the first big shot off of Cheers you got?”

Coming August 20th from Giant Pictures, we have an exclusive preview from Art of a Hit that gives you a look at the opening scene!

Art Of A Hit stars Ryan Donowho (The O.C.), Charlie Saxton (HBO’s Hung), Tim Jo (This Is US), Rob Raco (Riverdale), James Earl (Hulu’s White Men Can’T Jump), Allie MacDonald (What/If), and David Valdes (Last The Night) in this chilling vision of a rock band who saw soaring heights of success in the late 90s, but are now haunted by irrelevance.

Struggling to regain visibility a decade after the band’s prime, lead singer Ryan (Ryan Donowho) accepts eccentric super-producer’s Charlie Dupont (Charlie Saxton)’s invite for the band to join him in a 1000-year-old French chateau to record a comeback album. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, Ryan and his bandmates realize they're up against more than just the pressure to succeed.

Wesley Snipes is likely best known for playing Marvel's first major cinematic hero, Blade, but his rich filmography goes far beyond the pages of comic books. The Bronx native started his career as a mainstay of New York dramas, working with directors like Spike Lee and Abel Ferrara.

Looking at the timeline of Snipes' career is also a fascinating look at the trends of Hollywood stardom. Working with both auteur directors and fan-favorite action franchises, the versatile actor shows a variety of work that is rarely seen in the work of Hollywood's top stars today.

Bull Durham was a turning point for Shelton, showcasing his talent for character-driven sports comedies that resonated with audiences.

Disney's Haunted Mansion movie fell far short of box office expectations upon its release in 2023. Justin Simien, who directed the film, is still feeling mixed emotions about the film's shortcomings, admitting that it's been a bit difficult.

Per Collider, Simien addressed Haunted Mansion in a new interview to promote his MGM+ series Hollywood Black. With a $150 million budget, the film bombed with a haul at the box office of less than $118 million, and with marketing costs, Disney reportedly lost around $117 million on the project. Critics were also fairly harsh on the film, resulting in a Rotten Tomatoes score of 37%. However, the audience score is much higher at 84%, and that's one aspect of Haunted Mansion's performance that Simien appreciates.

If Jack Harlow once lit a fire under his career by flirting with Saweetie on a red carpet, the rumors of his suave are true. At a movie premiere — still fresh ground for the Grammy-nominated artist — Harlow is smooth. Taller than you’d expect with a baby face punctuated by diamond earrings, he is several degrees cooler than your average movie star. He doesn’t so much walk a red carpet as he strides his way around it.

Standing on a carpet Wednesday evening in New York City — at the premiere for “The Instigators,” a buddy crime comedy starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck, which features Harlow as a petty thief — the rapper told Variety that he’s ready for a fresh try at acting.

“Shit got killed,” he admitted, admirably, about his first role in the 2023 reboot of “White Men Can’t Jump.”

But the City Slickers star is set to flex his dramatic chops as a grieving psychiatrist in Sarah Thorp's (The Bounty Hunter) limited Apple TV+ supernatural mystery series Before, which has just revealed a set of first look images ahead of its two-episode premiere on 25 October. Check them out below:

Written and created by Thorp, the 10-part series — whose pilot has been directed by Silo's Adam Bernstein — is described by Apple as "an atmospheric, character-driven psychological thriller." It's a description that tallies with the series' enigmatic official logline, which reads as follows: "Before stars Crystal as Eli, a child psychiatrist who, after recently losing his wife, Lynn (Judith Light...

The trailer just dropped for Mr. Throwback, a new mockumentary series starring Happy Endings’ Adam Pally, Saturday Night Live’s Ego Nwodim and… The Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry?

Produced by David Wain, Mr. Throwback actually looks pretty funny for a show starring an NBA point guard in a prominent role. Come to think of it, there have been more than a few solid comedies featuring pro basketball players, such as…

5 Marques Johnson in ‘White Men Can’t Jump’

When we think of White Men Can’t Jump, we tend to think of Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, and of course, Jeopardy! champion Rosie Perez.

But it also features former NBA player Marques Johnson as Raymond, an aggrieved victim of Billy and Syd’s hustle. Johnson later revealed that the character was based on real-life basketball player Reggie Harding, who died tragically in 1972.

Last week, Sofia Vergara made history at the Emmys as the first Latina to be nominated for best lead actress in a limited series for her role in Netflix's "Griselda." This nomination comes after years of Vergara battling a double-edged sword: her undeniable talent and her Colombian accent, which were both part of the path she'd carved with her iconic portrayal of Gloria Pritchett on "Modern Family." Despite the success that "Modern Family" had - winning 22 Primetime Emmy Awards and garnering 85 nominations since its 2009 debut - Vergara has been vocal about the limitations the industry placed on her because of her accent.

"I'm always looking for characters because there's not much that I can play with this stupid accent," she told the Los Angeles Times earlier this year. "I can't play a scientist or be in 'Schindler's List.' My acting jobs are kind of limited."

With Salma Hayek being a rare exception,...

Described as a “musical horror-thriller,” Variety reports today that the upcoming movie Art of a Hit has been acquired by Giant Pictures for 2024 release here in North America.

The film “follows a ’90s rock band frontman grappling with irrelevance. An eccentric producer invites the band to his French chateau to record, where they encounter unexpected challenges.”

“Art of a Hit takes everything we love about the late ‘90s and early 2000s rock scene and jams it into a wildly creepy castle in the most beautiful place on earth: Dordogne, France. It’s funny, scary, messed up and honest — a story about what it’s like to be in a band and the insane fears of trying to make it as an artist. If you love late 90s rock, if you loved being in a band, you will love Art of a Hit,” director Gaelan Draper and co-writer/star Charlie Saxton said.

Woody Harrelson doesn’t want to be a slave to technology by carrying around what he terms as “the appendage on my appendage.” In case you’re wondering what monstrous thing was described as “the appendage,” it’s a cellphone. Woody Harrelson was talking about a cellphone.

So why is he averse to carrying around a cellphone like every other normal person, celebrity and other?

Woody Harrelson – Reveals Reason He Gave Up Owning A Cellphone

Wow, to think Woody Harrelson has probably never seen all the ‘True Detective’ memes floating around on the internet is crazy.

According to the actor, he hasn’t carried a phone in a long time. Fans learned about this in Harrelson’s recent appearance on the ‘Where Everybody Knows Your Name’ podcast with ‘Cheers’ castmate Ted Danson.

During the show, Danson brought up the topic of Harrelson not owning a cellphone.“Let me explain something...

Alex Trebek, the late host of answer-and-question game show Jeopardy!, will be honored on a U.S. Forever stamp. And no, you won’t need to put anything in the form of a question when you go to buy it.

On an episode of Jeopardy! this week, host Ken Jennings – who officially took the sole hosting spot just last year after various temporary and co-hosts – announced that Alex Trebek would be receiving the honor, with pre-orders on the stamp already available. Trebek passed away in 2020 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

This Forever edition is one of the more clever pop culture designs of the first-class stamp to date, with text mimicking the show’s famous clue board and reading: “This Naturalized U.S. Citizen Hosted The Quiz Show ‘Jeopardy!’ For 37 Seasons”. When you turn the stamp upside down, the stamp reveals the question and honoree: “Who is Alex Trebek?...

Exclusive: Kadeem Hardison has been set as a series regular in Ed Brubaker’s Prime Video graphic novel series Criminal. He joins the previously announced cast Adria Arjona and Richard Jenkins.

Criminal is an interlocking universe of crime stories based on the multi-Eisner Award-winning graphic novel series created by Brubaker and Sean Phillips.

Hardison will portray the character Gnarly, an old friend of Leo and Ivan. Gnarly was his nickname as a boxer back in the 1970s and it’s all anyone calls him. He walks with a limp, an old one. Gnarly’s a local legend, and he can go from warm to fierce in a heartbeat. He commands respect, partly because he can inflict massive physical damage, even at his advanced age — and partly because he has the authority and gravitas to stop other men in their tracks.
