By now, you’ve probably heard the bittersweet story of 10-year-old Colby Curtin. If not, you’ll want to get out the tissues. Curtin had wanted to see Up from the moment she saw the film’s trailer but was unable to go to a movie theater when the Disney/Pixar film was released because she was losing her nearly three-year battle with vascular cancer. (GET OUT THE TISSUES NOW.) A family friend phoned Pixar, and on June 10, the company flew an employee with a copy of Up on DVD to Colby’s Huntington Beach, Calif.
This summer's hottest club (*in Saturday Night Live Stefon voice*) is... the movie theater! It's got everything: multiple multiverses, Tom Cruise destroying a train, a de-aged Harrison Ford (!?!?), an atomic bomb, Ryan Gosling Ken-ergy, air conditioning, and Megs. What are Megs? They're like Godzilla-sized sharks except Jason Statham randomly drop-kicks them in the face. Summer movies in 2023 are bringing the hottest hyphenated titles — from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One — to the big screen over the next couple months, alongside the latest from Christopher Nolan, Pixar, and DC.
Two years since the COVID-19 pandemic began and made large in-person gatherings extremely difficult (and dangerous), comic conventions are finally gearing up for a return this year. Some of the cons went virtual over the past two years, while others canceled events entirely. But things are looking brighter for 2022. Below, check out EW's guide to the biggest comic cons of the year to come. You'll notice some similarities in guests between conventions under the same umbrella (such as FanExpo and Fanboy Expo, which are different from each other), while some cons set for later in the year haven't announced guests yet.
The Academy Awards are just days away — which means it's time to buckle down and really get to know this year's Best Picture contenders. Today's deep-dive: George Miller's hyperkinetic return to the postapocalyptic wasteland he created with 1979's Mad Max. Name: Mad Max: Fury Road Tweetable description: Road warriors battle a maniacal despot, in a two-hour car chase across the wasteland to end all wastelands. Movie math: (The Road Warrior x Dr.
Ah, modern technology, allowing us to connect with our long-distance friends and monitor our homes from afar. But sometimes, it shows us a little too much. On Thursday, Netflix dropped the first trailer for Your Place or Mine, their new rom-com starring Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon that hits the platform on Feb. 10. Kutcher and Witherspoon star as longtime besties, Peter and Debbie, who swap homes and lives for a week, only to realize that they might need something entirely different than what they thought they wanted.
Saturday Night Live returned last weekend with a crop of new faces and one sketch that felt a little familiar to some viewers. Now YouTube creator Joel Haver has responded after eagle-eyed comedy observers noticed some striking similarities between an SNL sketch about the Charmin bears and an animated video he posted earlier this summer titled "Toilet Paper Bears." Haver called any likeness between his bear family and SNL's "pretty alarming,"
If you’re a tween girl, this weekend at the movies is for you. If you’re a regular person, you may want to sit it out. Why? Because the top two films are likely to be Zac Efron’s 17 Again and Miley Cyrus’ Hannah Montana: The Movie. Sure, grownups/guys will get Jason Statham’s Crank sequel and the Russell Crowe thriller State of Play. But the Disney-loving kids will be having most of the fun.
Straight Pride™ ended when Maddy Morphosis sashayed away from RuPaul's Drag Race season 14. Though many fan-generated memes suggested otherwise, RuPaul's three-time Emmy-winning fashion mastermind Zaldy tells EW the Drag Race host's now-iconic patchwork dress from the April 8 "Catwalk" episode was not, in fact, a tribute to Maddy's affectionately derided, country-friend Glamazon Prime creation from episode 6. "That's purely coincidence. There are two different things: Yes, it's the same kind of [aesthetic] muse, but that look for Ru, we always love a coat of many colors as a reference,"
Remember when it wasn’t official until it was “Facebook official?” That was so five years ago — actually, around the same time five strapping young lads were united on the British TV music competition The X Factor to form One Direction. Fast forward to now…and all that has changed. Zayn Malik, the wannabe recluse and disarming defector of 1D has been making a lot of things official as of late: his departure from the band, his breakup from Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, his high profile new relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid, and a few sexy new singles along the way.
Zendaya is mourning the loss of her friend and Euphoria costar Angus Cloud, who died unexpectedly at 25 this week. In a moving Instagram post Tuesday, Zendaya shared a black-and-white photo of a smiling Cloud and wrote, "Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor). I'm so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I'm smiling now just thinking of it).
