The massively underrated Renny Harlin/Shane Black action film with Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson is getting a well-deserved upgrade. The Long Kiss Goodnight is also a notable movie that Samuel L. Jackson says he would love to do a sequel for. However, as fun as it is, the Christmas action film can always stand strongly on its own without the concern of a follow-up that misguidedly taints it. However, hopefully the film will find a new audience as Blu-ray.com is now reporting that The Long Kiss Goodnight is getting a 4K Ultra-hd release, courtesy of Arrow Video. And if you’re a fan of the film, it’s Christmas time for you, because you’re getting all the goodies to come with it.

The description reads,

“From screenwriter Shane Black and director Renny Harlin comes ass-kicking action thriller The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Netflix is one of the best places to find the best movies and TV shows you can watch on any streaming service. Every month, it adds hundreds of new titles to its content library, but with that, there are also some titles that have got to go. So, today, we are here to tell you about the best film you should watch before it leaves Netflix in February 2025.

Earlier this year, Paramount and Miramax announced that they are reviving the Scary Movie horror parody series to bring a Scary Movie 6 to theatres sometime in 2025, with the Wayans Brothers back in creative control – and that announcement has inspired us to go back and revisit the earlier entries in the franchise. Now we’re up to the 2006 sequel Scary Movie 4, and you can hear all about it in the video embedded above.

Directed by David Zucker from a screenplay by Craig Mazin, Jim Abrahams, and Pat Proft, Scary Movie 4 has the following synopsis: Dim-witted Cindy Campbell and her sex-crazed friend, Brenda, team up with cute-but-clueless Tom Ryan to save the world from a hostile alien invasion, with hints of War of the Worlds, Saw II, Million Dollar Baby and The Village.

The cast includes Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Craig Bierko, Leslie Nielsen, Bill Pullman, Anthony Anderson, Kevin Hart,...

The best Ron Howard movies and TV shows feature a mix of dramas and big-budget action flicks, as well as plenty of Oscar notice for his work. Howard got his start as a child actor, working on the classic sitcom The Andy Griffith Show, where he played Griffith's son Opie. That led to him working with George Lucas on American Graffiti and then becoming a major star thanks to his role as Richie Cunningham on Happy Days.

However, Howard became a star thanks to his work as a top-tier director. He directed his first movie in 1977 while still working as an actor on Happy Days. That film was Grand Theft Auto, and he finally made his full-time move to directing thanks to the success of the 1994 Tom Hanks film Splash. Over his career, Howard has won two Oscars and six Emmy Awards for his work, and he continues to...

The Long Kiss Goodnight originally killed off Samuel L. Jackson's character, but the "audience was like f--k no."

Cinderella Man is an inspiring underdog story with a stellar cast that includes Russell Crowe and Rene Zellweger. The film follows real-life boxer James J. Braddock as he navigates the Great Depression and makes a triumphant return to the ring. The supporting cast, including Paul Giamatti and Craig Bierko, delivers standout performances that enhance the compelling story.

Cinderella Man is a hugely popular boxing movie that took the world by storm in 2005, but many of the actors involved have gone on to carve unique careers for themselves and star in plenty more recognizable projects. The story follows a former boxer named James J. Braddock, whose life is turned upside-down by the Great Depression and hes forced to get into the ring once more. Its one of the most inspiring movies about underdogs in recent memory, and the story has managed to stay relevant for almost two decades.

There’s an infamous anecdote about a scientist who was presenting a lecture on how earth and other celestial bodies orbit around larger bodies. When he finished the lecture, an old lady supposedly stood up and claimed that the scientist was wrong because the world wasn’t floating in outer space but was in fact supported on the back of a giant turtle. When asked what was supporting the turtle, the old lady replied: “it’s turtles all the way down.”

While this story is often used to explain the concept of an infinite regress, it’s also a great example of how the simulation hypothesis – the idea that the universe as we know it is a kind of virtual reality – is actually much older than the modern concept of computers.

However, it was only with the technological advances of the 90s that this idea became prevalent in popular culture...

A fun thing about getting into old musicals after watching "The Simpsons" your whole life is that you'll find yourself experiencing a never-ending string of realizations like, "Oh, so this is where that 'Simpsons' scene came from." Such is the case for "The Music Man," the 1962 musical about a conman who goes into a naive small town, stirs up a moral panic, and then uses said panic to sell them band instruments. This is all encapsulated in the musical number "Ya Got Trouble," where main character Harold Hill (Robert Preston) uses his charisma to get the town fully on board with his money-making scheme.

To a "Simpsons" fan, the song's tone, meaning, and rhythm should quickly feel familiar. That's because it's the same basic song Lyle Lanley (voiced by Phil Hartman) sings to the town of Springfield to get them to invest in a monorail they don't need.

Matthew Perry's portrayal of Chandler on Friends became iconic, embodying sharp wit and deadpan sarcasm, and his relationship with Monica Geller became central to the show's storyline. Perry's casting as Chandler was not a straightforward process, as producers searched for an actor with the perfect blend of comedic timing and sarcasm, and Perry's commitment to another pilot initially complicated things. Other actors, such as Jon Cryer, Craig Bierko, and Jon Favreau, were considered for the role of Chandler but didn't ultimately get cast. Despite missing out on Friends, these actors found success in their own careers in TV and film.

Matthew Perry's portrayal of Chandler on Friends became iconic, synonymous with sharp wit and deadpan sarcasm. As the series evolved, so did Chandler, as his relationship with Monica Geller became a central storyline. Despite his history of commitment issues, it was with Monica that Chandler's relationship growth culminated,...

Matthew Perry will most often be remembered for his wit and charm, but there was so much more to him.

The pilot script of “Friends” had a lot of heat at the agencies and young actors both familiar and fresh were vying for the roles.

There was interest and momentum for Craig Bierko to play the role of Chandler Bing, and until Craig said he wasn’t interested, Matthew stayed in the background because he didn’t want to compete with his friend. Who says show business has to be cut throat?

Once we saw and heard Matthew’s audition we knew that our prayers had been answered. The role we had struggled mightily with throughout the casting process was now cast. Or was it? We couldn’t have Matthew in first position because he’d made a sci-fi pilot for Fox called “Lax 2194” about baggage handlers in the future.

The world was rocked this weekend by the passing of actor Matthew Perry, only 54 years old and best known for his role as "Chandler Bing" on "Friends" — the sitcom for which "popular" doesn't begin to describe its reputation. And yet, Perry could have missed out on the part that made him famous and ended up on the wrong side of a Hollywood "what-if" story. The actor recounted the close call in his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," published in 2022 and written in a conversational (and occasionally vulgar) style.

Let's set the scene: It's 1994 and Perry has a part in a sitcom pilot. Not on "Friends," but on "L.A.X. 2194." You've probably never heard of it. It's a workplace comedy about baggage handlers at Los Angeles International Airport ... but set in the year 2194. The leads, draped in futuristic costumes right out of "Star Wars," would be handling the luggage of alien tourists.

Matthew Perry, the affable actor who became a television superstar playing Chandler Bing on the beloved NBC sitcom Friends, had died. He was 54.

Perry died Saturday in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times. Authorities responded around 4 p.m. to his home, where he was discovered unresponsive, they said.

While Perry had achieved massive success as part of Friends, one of the most successful shows of all time, he also battled alcohol and substance abuse for decades.

Debuting in 1994, Friends, of course, followed the lives and loves of six young New Yorkers trying to find themselves as they banded together for support. Through their ups and downs, trials and tribulations, one thing remained constant (as affirmed by the show’s theme song): These friends would always be there for each other.

Striking a chord with twenty-somethings everywhere, Friends was a ratings powerhouse.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. But sometimes we talk to filmmakers! About filmmakers!

Today we talk to up-and-coming writer/director Andrew Adams whose debut feature American Meltdown is making a robust festival run as we speak!

He joins us to spearhead our first incarnation of “The First Frame:” a B-Side segment in which we examine the first films of legendary filmmakers. The three pictures we focus on today are My Best Friend’s Birthday by Quentin Tarantino, Sour Grapes by Larry David, and Barking Dogs Never Bite by Bong Joon-ho.

We discuss our love for these three masters, the seeds of their genius in each of their debuts (as well as each piece’s shortcomings), and the strange connection between all three of them.

Netflix’s “Sex/Life” has been taken off life support. The erotic drama series will not return for a third season at the streamer, a Netflix spokesperson confirmed to IndieWire.

The news comes just over a month after the second season of the show debuted on March 2. The show, created by Stacy Rukeyser, premiered its first season in June 2021. A spokesperson for Netflix told IndieWire that the service is proud of the cast and crew’s work on the show, and that the second and now final season brought the show’s storyline to a natural ending.

Loosely inspired by the novel “44 Chapters About 4 Men” by Bb Easton, “Sex/Life” starred Sarah Shahi as Billie Connelly, a housewife and mother of two in the suburbs of Connecticut. Struggling with a midlife crisis, Billie reconnects with Brad (Adam Demos), her music producer ex-boyfriend from her days as a party girl, creating tension in...

“Sex/Life” has been canceled at Netflix after two seasons, Variety has learned.

The second season of the drama series debuted on the streamer on March 2, while Season 1 debuted in June 2021.

The series was inspired by the book “44 Chapters About 4 Men” by B.B. Easton and hailed from creator Stacy Rukeyser. Sarah Shahi starred as Billie Connelly who, exhausted from taking care of her two kids and feeling nostalgic for the free-spirited life she lived in New York with her best friend Sasha (Margaret Odette) before marrying loving and reliable Cooper (Mike Vogel), starts journaling and fantasizing about her exploits with an ex (Adam Demos).

The cast for the series also included Cleo Anthony, Darius Homayoun, Craig Bierko, Wallis Day, Jonathan Sadowski, Joyce Rivera, and Li Jun Li.

The series was executive produced by Jordan Hawley and Academy Award-winning producer J. Miles Dale, along with Rukeyser. Rukeyser also served as showrunner.

In a recent podcast interview,...

Netflix has released the first look photos and an official trailer for Season 2 of “Sex/Life.”

“Sex/Life” will premiere on Netflix on March 2. The second season follows the 2021 premiere with an eight-episode season.

Based on the book, “44 Chapters About 4 Men” by Bb Easton, “Sex/Life” was created by Stacy Rukeyser. The series follows as one woman, Billie Connelly (Sarah Shahi), examines her identity, unveils her desires, and navigates a love triangle between her husband Cooper Connelly (Mike Vogel) and her former flame, Brad Simon (Adam Demos). The provocative first season of “Sex/Life” reached 67 million viewers within its first four weeks on Netflix.

Alongside the leading love triangle, the series also stars Margaret Odette, Cleo Anthony, Craig Bierko, Darius Homayoun, Dylan Bruce, Jonathan Sadowski, Li Jun Li and Wallis Day.

In addition to creating the series, Rukeyser serves as an executive producer alongside J. Miles Dale and Jordan Hawley.

Watch the “Sex/Life” official trailer below.

One of the most surprising hits of 2021 on Netflix is returning next month.

The official trailer for Sex/Life Season 2 is here, and it looks like Billie will have a new love interest in mind.

The trailer also seemingly confirms that it's all over between Billie and Cooper.

"I'm not [upset], I'm just done," Cooper says.

Things aren't much better with Brad, either.

"I came to you six months ago with a ring," he tells her, adding the following:

"You said no, and now it's too late."

As for the new man in Billie's life, Majid (played by Darius Homayoun), he looks like a lot of fun.

The first season featured plenty of steamy twists that got the fans talking -- and streaming.

Will the show be able to live up to its moniker again for the second time?

Our “Sex/Life” is now back on track.

After Billie (Sarah Shahi) chose ex and arguably her first true love Brad (Adam Demos) in the Season 1 finale, the aftermath is exposed with Billie’s husband Cooper (Mike Vogel) pursuing a new relationship of his own.

“Once you wake up, once you get even just a tiny taste, there’s no going back,” Billie says in the teaser, adding...

One of Netflix's most-talked-about shows (for all the wrong reasons!) has a return date.

Calling Dr. Mark Greene. Please report to the Broadway stage.

ER star Anthony Edwards made his Broadway musical debut Friday night as “Dr. Walker” in the Tony-nominated Girl From The North Country. With several members of the company out of the show because of Covid-19 infections, Edwards stepped in at the last moment (and after only an hour of rehearsal time) to ensure that the show would go on.

He starred opposite his wife, Mare Winningham, who was recently nominated for a Tony Award for her role.

Lead producer of Girl From The North Country Tristan Baker made a pre-show announcement to express his gratitude to the production’s swings and understudies, and let the house know they were in for an extra special show.

Update: Tanya Roberts’ publicist confirms the actress passed away Monday night. Read here for more.

Following the news that “A View to a Kill” and “That ’70s Show” star Tanya Roberts is still very much alive despite her publicist saying she died on Sunday, many stars and social media users reacted with disbelief — and gratitude.

“Very happy to hear that Tanya Roberts is still alive. But what other crazy surprises does 2021 have in store for us?” William Shatner wrote on Twitter.

“Happily, Tanya Roberts is like democracy,” screenwriter Billy Ray wrote. “We only Thought it was dead.”

“The Bachelor” producer Mike Fleiss took the opportunity to plug his own show, which begins a new season on Monday night. “If you think Tanya Roberts being alive is shocking, wait til you see tonight’s season premiere of #TheBachelor,” he tweeted.

“That ’70s Show” star Topher Grace initially mourned Roberts’ death in a heartfelt Twitter post.

Rebecca Luker, a three-time Tony Award nominee and one of Broadway’s most acclaimed and popular musical actresses, died today at a New York City hospital following a nearly yearlong battle with Als, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was 59.

Her death was confirmed to The New York Times by her agent Sarah Fargo. Luker was married to Broadway actor Danny Burstein (Moulin Rouge!).

The actress announced in February that she’d been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, tweeting: “Hello friends. I have some tough news. Late last year I was diagnosed with Als.
