After a brief hiatus (due to this absurdly stretched-out awards season), we are back! On this week’s episode of MovieBabble’s Road to the 2021 Oscars, we cover the SAG Awards, the PGA Awards, and the…

Three days. It took me three days to finish watching Mrs. Serial Killer. What torture! And it will be even bigger torture not to write anything mean about Mrs. Serial Killer. Frankly, I don’t think…

American Son is listed by Netflix as a “Television Event” which feels like a pre-emptive defense about its un-cinematic look. Adapted from writer Christopher Demos-Brown‘s own play, the film takes place entirely within a Miami police station…

This just in…. After seeing The Lighthouse, and more specifically Robert Pattinson’s amazing performance, a Texas man has vowed to watch every Robert Pattinson movie to see what he has been missing. “I mean, where…

Okay, we’ve avoided this subject long enough, but we can’t beat around the bush any longer: who is the best Spider-Man? Could it be Tobey Maguire, the classic Spider-Man? Maybe Andrew Garfield, the short-lived Spider-Man…

With Brad Pitt starring in several films like James Gray’s Ad Astra and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood coming out on the horizon, I thought it would be a good time to…

Andy Serkis, winner of over 35 acting awards, has become a more prevalent face in Hollywood feature films over the past few years. He has been associated with some of the biggest film franchises of…

Picture this… You’re an actor. You’ve wrapped up your first major movie. The night of the premiere arrives. The sheer excitement is almost too much to bear. You swagger your way down the red carpet…

Over the course of history, some actors have been just so terrible that it actually becomes entertaining.  The ability of some humans to look anything but on screen has made for countless cult favorites, leading…

Early last week, as previously mentioned in my discussion of the best actors of all-time, Daniel Day-Lewis announced to the public that he was officially retiring from acting.  I know I speak for everyone when…
