The fine folks of Netflix can be sneaky little devils sometimes. Case in point: even though it wasn't announced with their regular slate of releases, Venom: The Last Dance made its bow on the streamer on February 25th. They decided to really up their stealth release game with a dozen more titles on Saturday. That's in addition to the 12 already on the slate.

This turned what was already a strong debut slate into an outstanding group. You'll find iconic comedies with some of the most popular stars of Hollywood, a trio of classic romances, and some knife-edge thrillers. There's drama and action, too.

There's also a pair of underrated horror flicks ready for your screen. Best of all is the addition of the finest films from one the most influential directors of the past 40 years. Like all art forms, film is subjective. But rest assured, I'm not talking about Uwe Boll...

Keanu Reeves is one of the most extraordinary movie stars of the past several decades, as he has managed to earn both legitimate praise and ironic appreciation. Although he began appearing in heartthrob roles just as the “Brat Pack” era began its decline, Reeves would become one of the definitive action stars of his generation alongside Tom Cruise and Wesley Snipes. In between his major sequels, Reeves still found a way to take on ambitious projects from acclaimed filmmakers, such as Taylor Hackford’s unusual legal thriller “The Devil’s Advocate” and Nancy Meyers’ charming romantic-comedy “Something’s Gotta Give.”

Despite facing a brief recess in his career after a series of critical disappointments in the first half of the 21st century, Reeves launched a major comeback when the “John Wick” franchise gave him another opportunity to show his merits as an action star. Reeves is clearly passionate about both the character...

Acclaimed director Nancy Meyers recently revealed shocking details about her 2006 film The Holiday. She revealed that she never meant for it to become a seasonal favorite. Meyers highlighted her surprise at the film’s strong Christmas ties during a “Hollywood Gold” podcast appearance.

“I never saw it as a holiday movie ever,” she claimed. “I know it’s called ‘The Holiday’ because they’re taking a holiday, but it could have been called that if it was in the summer.”

“The Holiday” stars Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black, and the late Eli Wallach. The story centers on two women who swap residences for Christmas to escape their relationship problems. While the holiday setting has become key to the film’s appeal, Meyers noted that her location selection was motivated by deeper concerns.

“I set it at Christmas because that can be lonely,” she told me. Meyers concentrated...

If the 2006 movie The Holiday is included on your must-watch holiday movie list, that actually wasn’t Nancy Meyers’ intention.

The writer-director recently revealed on the Hollywood Gold podcast that she “never ever saw it as a holiday movie ever in my life.”

“I know it’s called The Holiday because they’re taking a holiday, but it could have been called that if it was in the summer,” she said, adding that she “was a little shocked at how much Christmas was in it” after rewatching it the other day.

The rom-com stars Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black and the late Eli Wallach. It follows movie trailer editor Amanda, who lives in Los Angeles, and journalist Iris, who lives in Surrey, England. The two decide to swap houses for two weeks at Christmas, hoping to forget their troubled love lives; however, love finds them anyway.

Jack Nicholson, 87, hasn't officially retired from acting, but he also doesn't do it anymore. In 2013, Nicholson spoke with Vanity Fair about rumors of his retirement, and he merely wanted to say that he had retired from incessant flirting, not acting. He did admit, however, that he wasn't passionately driven to put himself out in the world anymore. Nicholson's good friend Lou Adler (the famed record producer) told Marc Maron in 2023 (via The Wrap) that Nicholson had been contacted several times about appearing in multiple film projects since 2010, but that Nicholson turned them all down. It seems that the actor would rather sit under a tree and read a book. Which is, of course, his right. With 80 film credits and multiple Academy Awards, not to mention worldwide fame, Nicholson has earned it. So, although he's never announced his retirement, Nicholson is more or less retired.

And if Nicholson isn't going to...

Keanu Reeves has been an absolute favorite of many film critics and audiences. His career has been very interesting since this actor has been open to starring in almost any genre. However, he has been mostly known for his action-driven films. For example, a lot of action movie lovers recognize him for the Matrix films and John Wick series. What they don’t know is how he has struggled in his personal life as well as experimented with other genres.

Reeves was born on September 2nd, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon. He was raised in Toronto, Canada. He is of Chinese-Hawaiian descent from his father’s side. His father was a geologist. Reeves had a mother that worked in the industry as a performer and later designed costumes. His parents divorced nonetheless. He ended up residing with his mother and sister. As he got older, he developed a keen interest in acting.

The absolute epitome of what another critic I know refers to as “gas leak cinema,” Hallie Meyers-Shyer’s sweetly deranged “Home Again” — starring Reese Witherspoon as a single mom who invites three cute and aspiring young filmmakers to stay in the guest house of her palatial Brentwood home — is the kind of rom-com that feels like it was made by aliens whose only exposure to our species was an intercepted satellite feed of the Hallmark Channel. Everyone is beautiful, no one’s decisions make sense, and the only remotely pressing conflict is whether Reese’s new houseguests will be able to attend her daughter’s school play.

In other words, “Home Again” is exactly what I hoped to see from the offspring of Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer; leave normal movies to normal people, I want to know what the world looks like through the eyes of a bright-eyed nepo...

When Hallie Meyers-Shyer thinks about directors, she thinks about women — women like herself, or like her own mother, Nancy Meyers. When asked about the continued conversation around nepotism in Hollywood — or, more pointedly, the rise of second- and third-generation filmmakers in the current landscape — she thinks about her mother, too.

“I have a different experience than other people, because I think a lot of the people [in this conversation], their fathers are filmmakers,” Meyers-Shyer said during a recent interview with IndieWire. “For me, the benefit was I saw directing my whole life as a woman’s job, and that’s really powerful and unique. I feel very grateful for it.”

That’s only half the story, as Meyers-Shyer is in the somewhat unique position of being not only the child of a female filmmaker and a male filmmaker (her father is Charles Shyer), but also a second- and third-generation director. She’s certainly got perspective,...

We’ve seen this smile before … sort of.

While on the red carpet for the forthcoming Smile 2, the follow-up to the Sosie Bacon-led horror film about a grinning harbinger of death, star Ray Nicholson was asked about his approach to the genre and how fans have likened the smile on his character’s poster to that of his father Jack Nicholson’s deranged smirk for the seminal Stanley Kubrick film The Shining.

“We’re very different people,” the actor told Deadline at the premiere. “I was born in 1992, he was born in 1937. The things that affect me don’t necessarily affect him. Obviously, I love him. He’s my inspiration. I ate dinner with him every night. I studied it, that’s how I learned to be a human being. So, of course we’re gonna be kind of similar.”

But Nicholson, whose credits include Licorice Pizza and Promising Young Woman,...

Diane Keaton is one of the most respected celebrities in the industry, famous not only for the unparalleled performances she brought to the table but also for the innumerable accolades and triumphs she holds to her name. But as much as her flattering beauty left even her co-stars mesmerized, the actress just never got around to tying the knot with anyone.

Although she has been linked to multiple celebrities throughout the era that she served as one of the most gorgeous actresses in all of Hollywood – the list of which includes even Al Pacino – Keaton simply never allowed herself to say ‘I do.’ And yet, it wasn’t like she didn’t want to get married. In fact, if anything, she herself admitted her regrets about never getting wed!

In her hit romcoms, the director’s sets were as popular as the films. Now trending on social media more than a decade after her last movie, her coveted look is back

In 2009, the film-maker Nancy Meyers was in an editing suite at Sony Pictures, fine-tuning the details of her next movie, It’s Complicated. That morning, her focus was the back garden of Jane, a successful Santa Barbara baker played by Meryl Streep. The garden included an extensive lawn, a swing-seat and a French-style potager garden, where Jane could wander about gathering ripe tomatoes in a fetching wicker basket. Meyers had already instructed an editor to erase dead trees and add a water feature, and now she was engaged in the process of smoothing out the yard’s remaining foliage. “Every plant that is spiky is removed from this movie,” was her instruction. “Keep it all soft.”

Meyers is...

More than five decades into her illustrious acting career, Diane Keaton remains an enduring icon both on — and off — the screen. The Oscar winner has earned legions of fans from films like Annie Hall, Marvin’s Room and Something’s Gotta Give, but Keaton has also won over the fashion set with her menswear-inspired outfits and her signature glasses.

Now, Keaton is channeling her (be)spectacled style into a new eyewear collection with Look Optic.

Keanu Reeves is one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, and often smokes in roles, leading some to wonder if he is a smoker in real life. He is, and it is actually a habit he started because of a movie role. The A-list star is not only beloved because of his acting skill, but because of how he fits into the celebrity landscape. Reeves frequently goes viral for the way he treats strangers and fans with respect even though he is an A-list actor, as well as his discreet lifestyle and philanthropic efforts.

Something's Gotta Give, starring Nicholson and Reeves, is now streaming on Max, showcasing Keaton's Oscar-winning performance. The film is a classic romantic comedy directed by Nancy Meyers, praised for the onscreen chemistry between Keaton and Nicholson. Reeves shines in his role as the earnest younger love interest, proving his versatility beyond action movies.

Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves' Oscar-nominated comedy Something's Gotta Give is now streaming on Max. Even though Nicholson has not officially announced his retirement from professional acting, the 3-time Oscar winner has not appeared in a movie since 2010's How Do You Know. On the other hand, Reeves' popularity somehow seems to have skyrocketed even more over the last decade with his massively successful John Wick franchise after The Matrix made him an international star in 1999. Something's Gotta Give is also available on HBO.

Nicholson is widely considered one of the greatest actors of the 20th...

Chicago Fire is not done dishing out surprises. We were already processing the fact that Dermot Mulroney will be Firehouse 51's new chief, and now, we know that KaDee Strickland, former star of Private Practice (2017-13), will also be joining the show in season 13.

Strickland's role is actually tied to Mulroney's. It was already confirmed that Mulroney will play Dom Pascal, a veteran firefighter who is moving to the Windy City from Florida. He has a more relaxed vibe than his predecessor, and an estranged wife who lives nearby. Strickland will play the estranged wife.

According to Deadline, the character's name will be Monica Pascal. There isn't much in the way of detail or context for the character beyond that, but KaDee Strickland's resume suggests...

Exclusive: NBC’s Chicago Fire has cast KaDee Strickland for a recurring role in Season 13. The new season begins Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. on NBC and next day on Peacock.

She will portray Monica Pascal, the new Fire Chief Dom Pascal’s (Dermot Mulroney) estranged wife. As Deadline reported in July, Mulroney joined the popular firefighter drama as Boden’s (Eamonn Walker) successor following his exit as a series regular in the Season 12 finale.

Before Boden was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department, he had chosen Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) as his successor. The introduction of Dom Pascal would interfere with that plan, and Eigenberg earlier this month shared insight with Deadline as to why Herrmann may pass on the opportunity.

“I want to say he felt like he had the rug pulled from under him because I don’t think [Herrmann] saw what...

Keanu Reeves will make his Broadway debut in Waiting for Godot.

The play, directed by Jamie Lloyd, will come to Broadway in fall 2025. Reeves will play Estragon and Alex Winter, an actor and co-star with Reeves in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, will play Vladimir in the revival of Samuel Beckett’s play.

Reeves is well-known for his starring roles in the John Wick series, the Matrix films, Dangerous Liaisons, Something’s Gotta Give, Parenthood and more.

Reeves struck up a friendship with Winter after the filming of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Winter recently wrapped production on Adulthood, which he directed and starred in with Josh Gad and Kaya Scodelario. He has also directed the documentaries The YouTube Effect, Zappa, Showbiz Kids and The Panama Papers.

The exact theater for the revival has not yet been announced, but the production says it will play at one of Ambassador Theatre Group...

Grey's Anatomy has a mix of villains driven by selfishness, questionable decisions, and challenging relationships. Some villainous characters are actually just misunderstood and deserve less hate from the audience. Antagonists in Grey's Anatomy often add drama through professional rivalries and personal entanglements.

Throughout Grey's Anatomy, many villains, or at least antagonistic characters, help drive additional drama that keeps the show's core premises of romantic and professional entanglements alive. Most of these villains are just doing whatever serves their own career and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) just has the misfortune of being an obstacle to that. However, some Grey's Anatomy characters can be described as villainous for making objectively selfish decisions and acting to intentionally hurt others.

In a series that revolves around romance and sex, some villains are simply alternative love interests. A surefire way to get the audience to hate a character is for them to be a challenge to...

What's the best Jack Nicholson movie? Ask a group of film fans, and you'll likely get a half-dozen different answers. The actor's most historically significant movie may be "Chinatown," the sun-baked California noir from 1974 that earned 11 Oscar nominations and a permanent spot in the American Library of Congress' National Film Registry. Or it might be "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," the beloved adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel that swept the Oscars in 1975 and turned the already-popular Nicholson into Hollywood's hottest commodity.

The actor's most popular films according to Letterboxd users are Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece "The Shining" and Martin Scorsese's crime saga "The Departed." His highest-grossing role at the box office came in 1989, when Tim Burton cast him as the rictus-grin supervillain The Joker in "Batman." Other popular moneymakers featuring the veteran performer include James L. Brooks' "As Good As It Gets," Nancy Meyers' "Something's Gotta Give,...

Movies that feature age-gap relationships take on many different subjects, but they all deal with the potential fallout from the connection. Sabrina and Charade both star Audrey Hepburn in romantic entanglements with complex older men. Something's Gotta Give demonstrates the power of finding love later in life and features a stellar cast of veteran performers.

A Family Affair recently premiered on Netflix, and since its release, it's been exciting to draw comparisons to the best movies like it in the romance genre. Whether other films of this type are pure rom-coms like A Family Affair or more serious takes on love, the subjects that A Family Affair tackles aren't foreign to any audience familiar with watching relationships unfold onscreen. It stars Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron as the romantic leads who embark on a whirlwind romance despite their age gap. Additionally, it features Joey King as Kidman's daughter, who doesn't approve of the relationship.

Netflix has a couple of major series airing all or part of their final seasons in July 2024. The hit Spanish drama Elite is set to premiere its eighth and final season in full this month with one final mystery (July 26), Vikings: Valhalla is setting off on one final adventure with its third season (July 11), and Cobra Kai is also entering its swan song era with the first part of its final sixth season arriving on Netflix July 18.

The most notable movie offering this month is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (July 3). Thirty years after his last case, Eddie Murphy returns as the titular detective Axel Foley, teaming up with old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Taggart (John Ashton) to uncover a conspiracy and keep his daughter Jane (Taylour Paige) safe.

Here’s everything else coming to Netflix this month. Note that Netflix marks its international offerings with that respective country’s two-letter country code.

A Family Affair is Netflix’s latest rom-com directed by Richard Lagravenese from a screenplay by Carrie Solomon. The Netflix film follows the story of Zara, a young woman with aspirations of becoming a film producer, but currently, she works as an assistant for a self-obsessed and childish movie star, Chris Cole. While Zara hates her job and boss, she still tolerates them, but things get worse when she finds out that her mother and boss are romantically involved. A Family Affair has an amazing cast, including Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, Joey King, and Kathy Bates. So, if you loved the romance, banter, and hijinks of A Family Affair, here are some similar romcoms you could watch next.

Diane Keaton has impressed the audience with remarkable performances in timeless classics like The Godfather, Manhattan, and Reds. She has quite the collection of awards to her name including some very prestigious ones and why wouldn’t she? She’s Diane Keaton, after all. Diane Keaton redefined the modern heroine in cinema and brought absolute authenticity to every character she set out to conquer.

One of the finest works of Diane Keaton’s career so far has got to be the 1977 film, Annie Hall, where she played the titular character. The actress’ performance was so raw and well-received that she went on to win her first and only Academy Award. However, she starred in yet another brilliant film in the same year that was equally deserving of the nomination and many fans believe that she should’ve won an Oscar for this film instead.

The gender pay gap in Hollywood is one of the most surprising yet unfortunate realities in Hollywood. Over the years, many actors and actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, Ronda Rousey, and many more are some big names that have spoken out about the gap in their pay in accordance with their male co-stars. Diane Keaton was also one of the big names, that talked about the issue when she was working with Jack Nicholson in their 2003 rom-com film.

Even though she was in the lead role in the film, her pay was substantially low in comparison to her co-star’s which had left her disappointed but not surprised. However, she was taken by surprise in the following years of the release of her film because she received a cheque with an enormous amount written on it.

Something About Her — the West Hollywood sandwich shop started by “Vanderpump Rules” stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney — is officially open for business, after a long period in red-tape limbo. On Wednesday, more than 100 people lined up outside the bright awning before it had opened, waiting several hours to buy the highly anticipated sandwiches from this long-awaited restaurant.

A few days after the soft opening for friends and family, it was finally time to open the doors to the public. Variety popped in to check it out on the first day it was open.

“It was very, very exciting when we were opening the blinds,” Madix told Variety. “The line has been crazy. We’re just really grateful that all these people are not only willing to come and support, they’re also willing to wait. We are a small place, so, that’s been really awesome.”

And wait they did.

Mother of the Bride stars Brooke Shields in the lead role with Benjamin Bratt, Miranda Cosgrove, Chad Michael Murray, Sean Teale, Rachel Harris, Wilson Cruz, and Michael McDonald starring in supporting roles.

Twenty years ago this month, the fairy tale-like romantic comedy “13 Going on 30” starring Jennifer Garner made its way into cinemas. The actress played Jenna Rink, a socially awkward soon-to-be 13-year-old who quickly realizes that she “hates being 13.” She makes a birthday wish to be “thirty, flirty and thriving.” With the little help of some wishing dust, she wakes up the next morning to discover that her wish has come true.

It was a defining moment in Garner’s early career. Her role as Sydney Bristow in the television action thriller series “Alias” had made her a breakout star (including at awards shows) just a few years earlier. She won the Golden Globe for Best Drama Actress in 2002 and had competed again in 2003 and earlier in 2004. She had also been nominated for two Emmy Awards one Screen Actors Guild trophy.

While Garner already had a number of film credits on her resume,...

Friends-to-lovers movies capture the heartwarming journey of platonic friends realizing they belong together romantically. Recent films in this genre feature diverse couples, breaking stereotypes and showcasing love stories in new and exciting ways. Chemistry between lead actors and fresh storytelling techniques make friends-turned-lovers films a beloved and timeless genre.

There are various different kinds of cinematic romance, but friends-to-lovers movies remain popular for a reason. Some of the most popular movie romances are those involving a friendship that develops into something more. The setup is simple: lifelong best friends one day realize they're in love with each other. Often one friend is in love from the start but it's unrequited, with the other coming to realize that the one they truly loved was right in front of them. From rom-coms to superhero stories, these friends-to-lovers movies strike a chord.

Friends-turned-lovers romances have always been favorites for audiences who enjoy the...

It’s been two decades since an epic fantasy film made history at the Oscars, winning every category in which it was nominated, and three women set new records.

It was finally Peter Jackson‘s time as the third installment of his “Lord of the Rings” trilogy earned him a trio of awards. Despite numerous nominations, the first two films failed to make big showings; however, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” not only claimed Best Picture, but won all 11 categories in which it was nominated. It tied with “Ben-Hur” (1960) and “Titanic” (1998) for most wins in one ceremony, and holds the record for biggest sweep. It was the 10th film...

The Proposal has landed a spot in Netflix's top 10 list, with 8.8 million hours viewed and 4.9 million total views. The romantic comedy movie, which stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, is beaten by The Equalizer 3, Transporter 2, and Lift. The Proposal was a big box office success upon its release in 2009, but the rom-com genre is now mostly relegated to streaming-only releases.

The Proposal, a 2009 romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock, has earned itself a spot in the Netflix top 10 list. Directed by Anne Fletcher, The Proposal features Bullock as Margaret Tate, a businesswoman who attempts to marry her assistant, a role played memorably by Ryan Reynolds, to avoid being deported back to Canada. The film earned mixed reviews from critics, but was a box office success.

Now, The Proposal has nabbed a spot in Netflix's top 10 list for the week of January 8 to 14. The romantic comedy occupies the number four spot on the list,...

"Starsky & Hutch" actor David Soul passed away this week at the age of 80, leaving behind a legacy of memorable film and TV roles as well as a successful career as a soft rock musician. Soul's run on the stylish '70s detective series ended in 1979, but the performer continued working well into his golden years, most recently appearing in the 2013 film "Filth."

The man behind Detective Sergeant Kenneth "Hutch" Hutchison isn't the first "Starsky & Hutch" castmate to leave us — Captain Dobey actor Bernie Hamilton passed away in 2008. Two of the main leads of the action-packed cop series are still alive, and have packed their careers with interesting, varied, and popular on-screen projects. Turn on Netflix, and you'll catch actor Paul Michael Glaser in "Grace and Frankie," while you can find Antonio Fargas popping up in the DC TV world on "Black Lightning." Here's everything else these two stars...

Ho Ho Ho motherf*ckers! Yup, it’s that time of year again…the giving season. As families everywhere come together to celebrate the holidays, bundle up by the fire, and indulge in a parade of sappy Christmas movies, the real adults in the room are going to need something with a bit more kick. Think about it, the all-time best Christmas movies – It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, you name it – all revolve around sentimental family-friendly stories for children and adults to enjoy equally. But f*ck all that, Jack, this year we’re all about honoring a bona fide Christmas classic expressly aimed at adult audiences. While Die Hard and Violent Night are worthy action-packed contenders, it’s time to dish out the edible cookies and spiked eggnog for Bad Santa – easily the most politically incorrect and controversially transgressive Christmas comedy on record.

Sky Cinema has debuted the trailer for the comedy ‘Arthur’s Whiskey.’

The movie is a feel-good comedy about living in the moment. When Joan’s (Hodge) husband dies, she discovers he had invented an anti-ageing elixir that takes the years off. Sharing it with her two friends Linda (Keaton) and Susan (Lulu), the three rejuvenated women waste no time in painting the town red, but they soon realise it’s a very different world to the one they remember. Starring Academy Award® winner Diane Keaton, Olivier Award winner Patricia Hodge OBE and the legendary Lulu. The film also stars Screen Actors Guild Award winner David Harewood OBE, Grammy nominated music superstar Boy George, Hayley Mills (The Parent Trap), Bill Paterson (House of the Dragon), Adil Ray (Blithe Spirit) and winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Lawrence Chaney. The film also features Genevieve Gaunt, Esme Lonsdale and Hannah Howland as...

Nancy Meyers has written a love letter to Cary Grant by recommending his screwball comedies and classics like North by Northwest and The Philadelphia Story as part of the December 2023 Turner Classic Movies lineup in her own TCM Picks video.

“He’s a brilliant prototype for a leading man in a romantic comedy certainly. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t think of him sometimes as I’m writing. You can picture him doing it and it makes you better,” Meyers, whose rom-com canon includes box office performers like Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday and What Women Want, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Her TCM movie picks follow Meyers insisting she has viewed most Cary Grant movies dozens of times, not least to study the iconic star’s slapstick humor and verbal sparring with leading ladies to see beneath his debonair looks and onscreen charisma, to the...
