As January wraps up, Hulu is keeping the momentum going with an impressive lineup of new titles next month. Whether you’re into movies, TV shows, or both, there’s plenty to keep you entertained throughout February.

Hulu is starting strong with over 60 new titles arriving on February 1 alone. Some standout additions include Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2, as well as all four seasons of the classic ’90s drama New York Undercover.

Reality TV fans will also have something to look forward to with the season six premiere of The Kardashians.

But as exciting as the new arrivals are, there’s always the bittersweet reality that some beloved titles are leaving. In February, Hulu will only be removing movies, so TV lovers can breathe easy. However, the list of departing films includes some good titles, like Titane (2021) and Spencer (2021), which earned Kristen Stewart an Oscar nomination.

Cameron Diaz is not looking to put a label on her Hollywood return.

The actress, who just made her onscreen comeback with Netflix’s Back in Action following a 10-year hiatus, recently shared with Empire magazine if this means she’s back for good.

“I don’t know how I view it. It’s hard to say,” she explained. “If I say it then it becomes this thing. I reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again, and I reserve the right to say yes if I decide to. I’m not defining anything. I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.”

The Charlie’s Angels star, who appeared in numerous rom-coms in the late ’90s and 2000s, also clarified which film genre she wasn’t necessarily looking to revisit. “No more rom-coms, only mom-coms,” she added.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are getting in some exercise.

The 41-year-old Bad Moms actress and the 46-year-old What Happens in Vegas actor met up with a friend for a hike in Griffith Park on Sunday afternoon (December 22) in Los Angeles.

For their hike, Mila wore a light gray sweatshirt with a yellow cartoon eagle on it paired with black leggings while Ashton sported a navy Chicago Bears sweatshirt and jeans.

In a recent interview, Mila revealed that her and Ashton‘s two kids developed an unexpected friendship with this Oscar-nominated actress.

Back in September, it announced that Ashton and Evan Peters will be starring in the upcoming television series The Beauty from Ryan Murphy! Find out more about the project here.

Cameron Diaz's return to acting includes exciting projects, with her role in Shrek 5 being a key highlight of her comeback. Diaz's success in films like The Mask and There's Something About Mary paved the way for her mainstream roles. While Back in Action promises to be a star-studded action comedy, Shrek 5 holds more nostalgia and importance for Diaz's career.

Cameron Diaz is making her acting comeback by starring in several upcoming films, but her return to a role in a sequel particularly seems incredibly exciting. Unlike most actors who struggle to find their feet during their initial years, Cameron Diaz springboarded into acting after making her feature-film debut with The Mask. The film, with Jim Carrey as its titular lead, went on to become one of the highest-grossing movies of 1994, making Cameron Diaz a household name and paving the way for her to land more mainstream roles.

Cameron Diaz is returning to acting after retiring a decade ago, as she's starring in Netflix's Back in Action. Diaz was one of the most bankable movie stars in the 1990s and 2000s, as her breakthrough role starring alongside Jim Carrey in The Mask shot her to fame. That led to huge blockbuster movie roles, such as Natalie Cook in the Charlie's Angels movies and voicing Fiona in the Shrek franchise. Diaz became one of the best comedy actors of the time too, starring in the comedy classic There's Something About Mary, What Happens in Vegas, and Bad Teacher.

Back in Action is Diaz's first movie since 2014, and it plays to her strengths, as the movie is an action comedy, a genre that Diaz has had more experience with than almost anyone else. Between Knight & Day, The Green Hornet, and the Charlie's Angels series, Back in Action seems tailor-made for Diaz,...

In what seems like Hollywood version of ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, actress Mila Kunis was surprised by her husband Ashton Kutcher’s moustache which he grew for his character in the latest movie ‘Vengeance’.

The actress, though, was very accepting of the transformation, reports People magazine.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live with guest host David Alan Grier, the What Happens in Vegas star opened up about his facial hair transformation for his latest movie Vengeance.

According to People, in the movie, Kutcher’s character, rural Texas music producer Quentin Sellers, has a pencil-thin moustache.

“This character, when I first saw it, I was like, ‘This is interesting.’ He kinda had this Boss Hog vibe to him,” Kutcher recalled, remembering such “bad guys” with thin moustaches in Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit. “I was like, ‘Alright, I think this guy has got, like, this air of sophistication’.”

Cameron Diaz is stepping back into the world of acting.

The onetime Charlies Angels star, who stepped back from Hollywood in 2014, will star in the forthcoming action-comedy Back in Action.

Talk about an appropriate title, huh?

The flick is in the works at Netflix, and it will reunite her with her Any Given Sunday and Annie co-star, Jamie Foxx.

Foxx broke the news of Cameron's big return, sharing a conversation between the pair in which Diaz struggled to find the right words to reveal her comeback.

"I don’t know how to do this, you know?” she says in the clip, featuring someone who retired from a profession only to take on another job.

Yes, we're talking about Tom Brady, you guys!

“I was talking to Jamie, and he said you needed a few tips on how to un-retire,” Brady says, adding, “I’m relatively successful at un-retiring.”

Film CommentaryFor Kollywood, it’s become par for the course to mock Yogi Babu for his looks with slurs like “panni munji vaaya” (pig-face). Such pejoratives have their roots in the casteist dehumanising of dark-skinned, wiry-haired people.Bharathy SingaravelCourtesy/SonyMusicSouthVEVOMainstream Tamil cinema has in the last few years, particularly since the films of Pa Ranjith, witnessed a significant shift in how Dalit, Adivasi or Bahujan people are represented on screen. A generation of younger filmmakers, many supported by Ranjith’s Neelam Productions, have registered a strong, anti-caste, Ambedkarite stance coupled with compelling storytelling. While the industry at large seems to have recognised the ‘marketability’ of such films, it still has a long way to go in exorcising casteism from within its own ranks of scriptwriting, lyrics and characterization. Take the recently released Mahaan. The lacklustre plotline aside, Vikram’s sort-of-intro song brazenly equates a self-absorbed, irresponsible con-man, roaming the city...

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum attempt to fend off a maniacal Daniel Radcliffe in the first trailer for Paramount’s “The Lost City,” premiering in theaters on April 15, 2022.

In the film, Bullock plays Loretta Sage, a novelist who has spent her career writing about exotic places in her popular romance-adventure books. She’s reluctant to promote her new book because she’d rather spend her time in the bathtub while drinking Chardonnay with ice. Nevertheless, she agrees to go on tour with Alan (Tatum), the hunky cover model who serves as the face of her series, to meet fans and sell copies of her novel.

“You do know you’re not Dash, right? Dash is a character I made up,” Loretta tells Alan, who does in fact believe he is Dash.

Things take a turn when she’s kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire (Radcliffe), who hopes she can discover the...

In the wake of the success of the Kevin Hart feature Fatherhood on Netflix, the producers of that movie, Higher Ground and Temple Hill, are collaborating with the streaming giant once again for a new project entitled Blackout, a film & television event which will be adapted from six different Black love stories written by six different writers.

Those scribes are Dhonielle Clayton (Tiny Pretty Things), Tiffany D. Jackson (Allegedly), Nic Stone (Dear Martin), Angie Thomas (The Hate U Give), Ashley Woodfolk (The Beauty that Remains) and Nicola Yoon. Blackout is being developed as part of Higher Ground’s overall deal with Netflix.

From the perspective of 12 teens with six shots of love, Blackout takes place as a heatwave blankets New York City in darkness and causes an electric chaos. When the lights go out and people reveal hidden truths, love blossoms, friendships transform, and all possibilities take flight.

Ashton Kutcher is known for identifying successful companies before they become ubiquitous, but Mila Kunis might not be quite as skilled.  The 37-year-old Bad Moms star visited The Late Show on Thursday, April 29, where host Stephen Colbert praised her husband's acumen as a venture capitalist, given that the 43-year-old What Happens in Vegas actor has been an early backer in such influential companies as Airbnb and Skype. When Stephen asked Mila if Ashton solicits her advice before investing, she admitted to not always having the most sterling track record.  "The best part about him is he is really smart about including me in everything and making sure that I am aware of everything...
