The star ofReal Housewives of New JerseyandManzo’d With Childrenresponded to the initial complaint from her now-estranged husband, Vito,36,who filed court documents days prior. Rumors had been circulating for years that the couple had already been separated. Vito’s absence from Lauren’s social media postings over the past year had thrown doubt on whether the pair were still a couple....

Anorahas defied the odds tosweep at this year’s Academy Awards, withSean Bakermaking Oscars history by becoming the first individual totake home four awards for one movie. Since the Academy clearly lovedAnora, it seems right that they award every aspect of it since they all work cohesively for major impact. However, there is one category that should’ve seenAnorafall short: Best Original Screenplay.The winner really should have beenJesse EisenbergforA Real Pain, mirroring the outcome at the BAFTAs....

Jessica ChastainandPeter Sarsgaardare locked in an emotionally fueled embrace in a new poster forMemory, one of the hottest films to hit this year’s festival circuit. The image, viaIndieWire, shows the pair as connected as two people could be, with a distraught Chastain naked and in a bathtub while a clothed Sarsgaard cradles her head in his hands. Despite being nothing more than an image, the shot carries plenty of intensity and passion as a look that could be pain or happiness plays across both actors' faces....

With Lords of Chaos now playing in limited release, we’re reposting my interview from last year’s Sundance Film Festival. One of my favorite films at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was writer-directorJonas Åkerlund’sLords of Chaos. I walked into the Sundance screening knowing very little about the film, other than it was based on a true story that came out of the Black Metal scene in Oslo, Norway in the 1980s. About two hours later, I came out extremely impressed by the performances, direction, and the film on the whole....

WithNarcos: Mexiconow streaming on Netflix, I recently sat down withMichael Peñafor an exclusive interview about playing DEA agentKiki Camarena. During the wide-ranging conversation, he talked about what it was like filming on location, how familiar he was with the series before getting involved, what it was like playing someone so morally centered, how many scripts he had before filming began, and more. In addition, Peña talked about playing the dad in theDora the Explorermovie and the status of theFantasy Islandmovie....

Through three films,Mark WahlbergandPeter Berghave created one of today’s most distinct actor-director pairings, melding the action-adventure genre within true-to-life stories. It’s hard to think of films that blend blow-em-up spectacle with emotional gravitas as effortlessly asLone Survivor,Patriot’s DayandDeepwater Horizon. Their latest (fourth) collaboration,Mile 22, however, eschews this format, doing away with the true-life side and going all in on the action spectacle. As Wahlberg himself says, the duo just wanted to “have some fun....

If you’re still in a spooky movie mood, but you’ve already seenSmile 2andTerrifier 3is too gross, Netflix has their own horror movie:Time Cut. Not just a slasher,Time Cutfocuses on a high school student (Madison BaileyofOuter Banks) that accidentally time travels to 2003, the year her sister (Antonia GentryofGinny & Georgia) and three other high schoolers were murdered by a killer that remains a mystery.

The multi-hyphenate Oscar winner will debut his new crime-thriller on the newly-minted Max on July 13, telling a complex tale of an attempted kidnapping that, with its investigation, unveils a string of secrets connecting various people and cultures in New York City.

Nintendo is bringing a pair of classic characters into the new year with not one buttwoMarch releases. For the Nintendo Switch, fans will get to enjoyYoshi’s Crafted World, a new adventure game that will feature the title character in its own game on the new console for the first time. But even sooner than that, fans will literally be able to get their hands onKirby’s Extra Epic Yarn, coming to the Nintendo 3DS systems....

Looking into August, all signs were pointing toFantastic Fourunderwhelming significantly and failing to reach the heights of its predecessors. Still, with the Marvel brand becoming overwhelmingly popular, I thought it should at least carry it past the gross of notorious comic book bombGreen Lantern. I was wrong.Fantastic Fournow sits at the lowest of Marvel adaptations right next toGhost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance(which was made for a fraction of the budget ofFantastic Four)....

Despite knowing better, I wanted to believe that Disney was going to be uncharacteristically modest when it came to marketingStar Wars: The Force Awakens. But nope. Someone had to think of the toys. It appears the studio is carrying on with business as usual, although theredoesseem to be a degree of control concerning what kind of footage from the highly anticipated film is released (here’s hoping there’s no “Hulk saving Iron Man”-level spoilers in forthcoming TV spots)....

One of the best things about having newStar Warsmovies back in our lives is thatCarrie Fisheris back out doing interviews. When it comes to Disney, most actors are terrified to say anything that the Mouse House might frown upon, and that’s understandable (I mean it’scrazy, but it’s also just the movie climate we live in). However, Fisher has never been a shrinking violet, and isn’t ever afraid to say exactly what she thinks....

With the series promising to delve into the superhero genre with a unique twist, Magnussen gave us some insight into why this project is set to be a must-watch. Co-starDaniel Brühlwas just as enthusiastic whenhe discussed the project with Collider’sMaggie Lovittlate last year....
