She’s Back! Vanessa Hudgens Will Host The 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards
Back in 2020, when Vanessa Hudgens brought the GOATs to MTV as host of the Movie & TV Awards: Greatest Of All Time special, she held nothing back as host. To introduce Jamie Lee Curtis as the greatest Scream Queen of all time, for example, she literally ended up covered in fake blood. That’s how far her commitment went. Hudgens’s bona fides in the hosting realm are well established — and it’s a good thing. Next month, she’ll resume hosting duties, this time for the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, airing live from Los Angeles on Sunday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. “I’m back!” Hudgens said to announce her return to the hosting stage. “Trust me: You don’t want to miss this.” The show will air immediately ahead of the MTV Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED, a celebration of all things reality t...
Rebel Wilson Recalls Falling Flat on Her Face While Channeling Britney Spears’ ‘You Drive Me Crazy’ Video
Rebel Wilson knows firsthand that trying to keep up with Britney Spears’ choreography is really hard work. During her appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden on Tuesday night, the actress discussed her upcoming Netflix movie Senior Year, which features a re-creation of Spears’ iconic dance moves in the “You Drive Me Crazy” music video that resulted in her falling flat on her face during a take. “I love Britney and I just wanted to pay homage to her because 20 years earlier in the film in 2022, she was like the biggest star in the world, so we did the ‘Crazy’ video … when I’m dancing, I just really like to give it, just give my all to it,” Wilson explained. “And then what happens is that I fall over and so in the Britney thing, they actually keep the take where I’m dancing and lo...

The world premiere of the long-awaited film Top Gun: Maverick has finally arrived, and a red carpet was rolled out at the USS Midway aircraft carrier stationed in San Diego, California, on Wednesday (May 4) to toast the occasion.

Nicolas Cage Is Back in a Big Way in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
There are multiple Nic Cages on display in the new meta action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent: the financially struggling actor with a penchant for lavish purchases and hotel stays that would bankrupt the budget of Vermont; a less-than-attentive father who means well but is quickly losing the patience of his teenage daughter; and, above all, the artist devoted to his craft. Oh, and there’s also Nicky, the Vampire’s Kiss-era Cage who haunts the real Nic Cage, who is there to remind the thespian that he’s first and foremost a movie star. For Nicky, it’s less artsy, more fartsy. So, then, I wonder what Nicky, with his glued-on pompadour and leather jacket, would think of his flesh and blood counterpart’s newest (and welcomed return to) big screen joint? My guess is he would lo...
Best Stoner Movies of All Time
Getting toasty stoned and streaming a flick is a marriage that was made in Hollywood heaven ages ago. The ritual of sparking a joint and watching a movie can be cathartic and watching stoned people navigate the world high on THC is equally as entertaining on the silver screen as it can be in real life. With that, we’ve pulled our nine favorite stoner movies from the archives in which marijuana is the muse. Pineapple Express (2008) When the star of this film is a government-classified strain of weed, you know you’re in for some good shit. In this genre-crossing comedy, Seth Rogen and James Franco star as two stoners who, high on a rare batch of bud, witness a murder and are then chased by bad guys. Described on Rotten Tomatoes as an “action/buddy/stoner” movie, the absurdity of the plot is ...
Eminem Loses Himself in ‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’ Trailer: ‘Time to Show the World Who’s Mini Boss’
Eminem is for the children. Okay, not typically, but Marshall Mathers is all in when it comes to the upcoming Minions sequel. The Detroit don posted the trailer for Minions: The Rise of Gru on Wednesday (March 30), which is cued to his 2002 Oscar-winning underdog pump-up anthem “Lose Yourself.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news “One shot. One opportunity. Time to show the world who’s mini boss,” Em tweeted, along with a Minions emoji. As the song’s signature chugging rhythm bubbles up on the action set in the 1970s, we see 12-year-old Gru bragging that he’s going to be a “super-villain,” as he tosses a stink bomb into a movie theater causing a mass exodus. “This world is mine for the taking/ Make me king as we move toward a new world order,” Em memorably raps on the track as we se...
2022 Oscar Winners: See The Full List
There are many questions to consider heading into the 94th Academy Awards, airing tonight (March 27), given the nominations. Will Kristen Stewart land her first Oscar after a much-praised turn as Princess Diana in period drama disguised as a horror film, Spencer? Will CODA‘s Troy Kotsur make history and become the first deaf male actor to pick up a trophy? Will Encanto make the same waves at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood as it’s made on the pop charts? Presumably, we will all know the answers soon. And we might also find out if The Power of the Dog nabs Best Picture, as it’s likewise cleaned up at the BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice Awards, and Golden Globes. We’ll also find out whether Beyoncé or Billie Eilish earns their first Oscar win. That’s a lot to...
Best mountaineering movies: 28 must-see cliffhangers
Our carefully curated list of the best mountaineering movies ever made Recently, I re-watched one of my favourite mountaineering movies: Everest. Historically, even the best mountaineering films have struggled to bridge the gap between climbing documentary and Hollywood blockbuster. However, Everest – released in 2015 and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh Brolin – managed to please both thrill-seeking moviegoers and mountaineers alike (unless you’re Jon Krakauer of course). I would rate the film right up there with the wince-inducing 127 Hours (2010) and North Face (2008), a chilling German film about a failed attempt on the Eiger. It made me want to re-watch the very best mountaineering movies, in particular, Meru (2015) and Touching the Void (2003), the latter of which also hap...
‘Phoenix Rising’ Doc Offers Harrowing Look at Evan Rachel Wood Abuse Allegations Against Marilyn Manson
[Trigger warning: this article contains descriptions of domestic violence, as well as sexual and physical abuse.] Sometimes the film you set out to make is not the one you end up with. That’s the case with director Amy Berg’s intense two-part HBO documentary Phoenix Rising. The veteran filmmaker originally set out to document actress Evan Rachel Wood’s successful drive to lengthen the statute of limitations for domestic violence felonies in California from three to five years. As Wood was fighting for the Phoenix Act — which was signed into law in 2019 — Berg realized that any potential film would have to delve into Wood’s allegations against her former fiancé/boyfriend, shock rocker Marilyn Manson (born Brian Warner). That story makes up much of the first part (“Don’t Fall”) of the nearly...
