The new sports biopic Unstoppable features an outstanding cast led by Emmy winner Jharrel Jerome as 2011 NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles. Unstoppable chronicles the remarkable true story and difficult upbringing of Robles, who faced obstacles and challenges both on and off the wrestling mat. Directed by Oscar-winning editor William Goldenberg in his feature film directorial debut, Unstoppable is based on Robles' 2012 book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion. Goldenberg has been nominated for five Best Editing Oscars, winning for 2012's Argo.

Unstoppable premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024 before getting a limited release in theaters on December 6. Unstoppable has received mostly positive reviews, earning a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 75%. Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and the real-life Anthony Robles produced the film.

NBC won't come to you live from New York this Saturday night, but there are plenty of reasons to get excited about Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary season when it returns. The most recent SNL episode preceded the holidays on December 21, with Martin Short hosting and Hozier as the musical guest. Saturday Night Live season 50 features seasoned comedians like Nate Bargatze, John Mulaney, and Chris Rock. It also gives worthy pop icons like Wicked's Ariana Grande and Charli Xcx a chance to host and perform a monologue.

The cast of SNL season 50 features a blend of established comedians and newcomers, and it looks drastically different from a few years ago. Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Pete Davidson exited SNL season 47, allowing rising SNL stars like Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, and Bowen Yang to come forward. Season 50's SNL cast also features up-and-coming comedians Marcello Hernandez,...

Director Steven Soderbergh released his annual "Seen, Read" list of all the movies, TV shows, plays, books, and more he consumed in 2024. The famous helmer of Sex, Lies, and Videotape and Ocean's Eleven consumed a massive amount of content. But you'd be surprised to learn that the man who was once nominated for two movies for Best Director in one year watched the prequest Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (twice), Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.

Soderbergh is known to be one of the busiest directors / producers / cinematographers in Hollywood, oftentimes directing and releasing multiple films per year. As an example, in 2023 alone, he directed Magic Mike's Last Dance and multiple episodes of TV shows, Command Z and Full Circle. Yet he also finds the time to watch and read dozens of films, shows, and books.

While he has one film set for 2025, the spy thriller Black Bag...

Unstoppable — not to be confused with the Tony Scott train movie from 2010 — is the sports-movie-iest of all sports movies ever to sports-movie. It is Rocky, The Mighty Ducks, Bill Durham and The Blind Side, rolled into one inspirational, dedicational, motivational package. No sports cliché goes unturned in this true underdog rags-to-riches story of one man’s triumph against adversity through physical and mental excellence. But it excavates and reanimates that familiar formula with such charm and brio that it largely wins you over — especially when buoyed by two excellent lead performances.

One of those performances comes from Jharrel Jerome, playing real-life one-legged wrestler Anthony Robles. Born with a congenital amputation (and portrayed in the film with faultless CG paint-out effects), we meet him as an already successful and committed high-school wrestler, looking to make the move to college. He wrestles, and beats, able-bodied wrestlers — the film never explores the backstory of his disability,...

Exclusive: Sources are telling us that Amazon MGM Studios has won the bidding war for Mattel’s animated feature Bob the Builder which had Netflix, DreamWorks Animation and others vying for the project. Not all deals are complete, I understand.

Bob the Builder is being produced by Jennifer Lopez‘s Nuyorican Productions and ShadowMachine (who were behind Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio) and it stars Twisters actor Anthony Ramos in the title role. It was Ramos’ idea to deliver a Bob the Builder set in Puerto Rico, in a story that’s about the resilience of the Latino culture. He is a producer on the film. Bob’s motto in Spanish: “Si se puede” aka “Yes we can.” Felipe Vargas is adapting. Tbd on whether the movie is for Prime or the big screen.

Lopez isn’t currently in talks for a voiceover role in Bob the Builder, I understand.

Keke Palmers best roles include some fine distinctions in genre which have taken her from Disney Channel to one of Jordan Peeles best movies. Her fans might identify some common themes throughout her career, but each one of her performances stands out as something unique. She can play a peppy schoolgirl who is a perfect team player or a tough-as-nails young woman who works best alone. Palmer has delivered in movies that are thrilling, shocking, and enlightening, working with some of the best in the industry.

Palmer also has amazing vocals and some voice-acting talent, allowing her to explore more subgenres. She is also widely known for some TV roles, namely Zayday Williams from Scream Queens. Furthermore, when her most recent movie is her best, her career holds more potential still in the future. Maybe she will appear in the currently untitled fourth Jordan Peele movie, or her fame will...

While Jennifer Lopez's Netflix films might not be well received critically, her latest release, Atlas, has an abysmal score on Rotten Tomatoes, there's no denying she's been a powerful draw on the streaming platform. 2023's The Mother was better received, and it was also another Lopez-led hit for Netflix. Due to the success of those two movies, Netflix appears to be going all in on the actress after securing the rights to the romantic comedy Office Romance starring Lopez and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein.

According to Deadline, Netflix won the rights to the film in a bidding war with other studios. The movie's script was co-written by Goldstein and Joe Kelly. The bet on Lopez has been a lucrative one for Netflix, as her films are among the most watched on the entire platform. Even if they don't hold good audience or critic scores, it hasn't stopped people from watching them.

Roger Vadim's 1968 sci-fi freak-out "Barbarella" is one of the zestiest, sexist, strangest, and most amusing pictures the genre has to offer. Set in the 41st century, "Barbarella" follows the merry caprices of the title heroine (Jane Fonda), a freelance adventurer of the cosmos. Barbarella, frequently undressed, is assigned by the President of Earth (Claude Dauphin) to track down a mysterious, missing scientist named Durand-Durand (Milo O'Shea) who has invented an all-powerful weapon called the positronic ray.

During her quest, Barbarella is attacked by killer dolls, befriends a blind angel (John Philip Law), is forced into a deadly orgasm machine (although she can outlast its mechanical manipulations), and faces off against the Black Queen, the tyrant ruler of Sogo.

The film was based on the erotic comics by Jean-Claude Forest, and possesses all the same sexual energy as the aggressively naughty original, even if it's not quite as sexually explicit.

Amid the rumors of marital issues with Ben Affleck and her spiraling career with her heavily criticized recent projects along with a canceled tour, Jennifer Lopez is now reportedly concerned about the return of her ‘career-long’ rival, Jessica Alba.

Both actresses recently starred in their respective Netflix movies, Atlas and Trigger Warning. However, sources have revealed that the Marry Me star is not very eager to share the space with Alba, who allegedly plans to continue her collaboration with the streaming giant.

Jessica Alba is Serious About Her Acting Comeback

Jessica Alba recently made her comeback almost five years after her last film Killers Anonymous in a Netflix project, Trigger Warning. The film follows her as a skilled Special Forces officer who finds herself at odds with a local gang after she returns to her hometown to take over her late father’s bar.

The Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy Marry Me has become a global Netflix hit. Marry Me landed at No. 4 on Netflix's global weekly chart for English language movies. This streaming success could help boost Lopez after recent concert cancellations.

Netflix has now calculated their global chart of the Top 10 most-watched English language movies for the week of June 24 through June 30. Marry Me has landed at No. 4 thanks to 4.3 million viewers accumulating...

Batman v Superman united DC's iconic characters, setting the stage for a cinematic Justice League rivaling the MCU. Ben Affleck's portrayal of a battle-hardened Batman won praise for adding depth and complexity to the character. Henry Cavill's Superman highlighted struggles with power and scrutiny in Batman v Superman, leading to later Dceu appearances.

The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice cast featured a stunning ensemble who have continued to work extensively throughout the entertainment industry. The DCEUs Batman v Superman reunited several cast members from Man of Steel, and began introducing several key characters who would become essential members in the Dceu timeline. In fact, it was Batman v Superman that began drawing together strands for a comic book franchise to rival the MCU. As such, many great actors appeared in the movie, who each boast highly respected careers.

There has never been a place where the name J.Lo is mentioned and the word ‘average’ is attached to it. There’s no denying that when it comes to showbiz, the multifaceted Jennifer Lopez puts up a great show and her works speak for her, just check out some of her performances at her tours or her 2020 Superbowl halftime performance with Shakira —at least that has been the case until recently.

Recently, the star of Atlas has been facing criticisms left, right, and center, and as it stands, it appears that nothing she does now will be received in good faith by her increasing critics.

This can be seen in how her “This Is Me… Live” summer tour was canceled multiple times in March due to low sales before finally telling her fans that the tour wouldn’t be happening because she wants to “be with her children, family and close friends.

Jennifer Lopez continues to steamroll on streaming as the Netflix sci-fi film Atlas has clocked close to 60 million global views (or 119.4M hours viewed), keeping No. 1 hold on the streamer’s top 10 film chart for the second week in a row. It also gives the multiplatinum-selling, two-time Emmy nominee her fourth No. 1 streaming movie over the past two years after Netflix’s The Mother and Prime Video’s This Is Me Now: A Love Story and Shotgun Wedding.

​Exclaimed Lopez’s producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas: “It’s time to report some true facts: A woman of color has done what few male stars have been able to do, namely having four No. 1 films in the past two years — Atlas, The Mother, This Is Me Now and Shotgun Wedding — two of them in the top 10 of all time on the two biggest streaming platforms, Netflix and Amazon.

“Yet those truths are being ignored,...

Jennifer Lopez might come back to American Idol now that she's canceled her tour. American Idol season 23 could be the perfect job for Jennifer to provide stability and joy in her life. The beloved judge was a cheerleader for contestants during her previous seasons, making her a great fit for the American Idol season 23 judging table.

Former American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez has said that she doesn't have the time to replace Katy Perry during American Idol season 23, but, now that she's canceled her "This Is Me... Live" tour, I'm convinced that she might change her mind and return to the reality singing competition series. Jennifer previously served as a judge during American Idol seasons 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15 (the final Fox season). She helped discover winners Scotty McCreery, Phillip Phillips, Caleb Johnson, Nick Fradiani, and Trent Harmon.

During her time on American Idol, Jennifer was a beloved judge. She was a cheerleader for the contestants,...

The upcoming biographical sports drama Unstoppable can break Jennifer Lopez's current Rotten Tomatoes trend. Lopez's recent streaming movies have received poor reviews. Unstoppable is based on Anthony Robles's true story.

Jennifer Lopez has starred in a handful of critically acclaimed movies, like Selena and Hustlers, but Lopez's Rotten Tomatoes scores in the past couple of years exhibit a disappointing pattern that can be broken via her next film. The actress' most recent project was Atlas, a Netflix science fiction action movie directed by Brad Peyton and written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, which premiered in May 2024. Lopez starred as the lead character, Atlas Shepherd, a counterterrorism analyst who must go against her anti-ai beliefs to save humanity. While Atlas is trending on Netflix, its reviews have been subpar.

Unfortunately, Atlas's Rotten Tomatoes score debuted as one of Lopez's worst-rated movies ever, and the bad news is...

Critics may pan Jennifer Lopez's movies, but her popularity and star power continue to draw in huge audiences worldwide. Despite mixed reviews, J Lo's films have grossed over $1.3 billion globally, solidifying her as a bankable box office star. Lopez's latest Netflix movie, Atlas, showcased her in a data analyst role navigating a futuristic AI-infused world for a thrilling viewing experience.

Many movies starring Jennifer Lopez are still very popular despite their negative reviews. Lopez has starred in more than 130 movies, television series, documentaries, and music videos, including the recent 2024 action film Atlas. Even though Atlas has an interesting premise based on artificial intelligence in a dystopian future, the film was a critical failure, earning a score of just 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. Atlas was released on May 24, 2024 exclusively on Netflix.

Lopez also starred in the recent documentary This Is Me... Now, which coincided with the release of her album...

Lopez stars in Netflix's Atlas as Atlas Shepherd, who must overcome her distrust of AI to save humanity. The film features a talented cast including Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown to bring this sci-fi story to life. Atlas follows a classic tale of AI technology gone wrong, with Atlas needing to trust an AI-powered mech suit to survive.

Jennifer Lopez seeks to save the world in Netflix's Atlas, accompanied by a talented cast of actors who help to bring this science fiction story to life. The 2024 film is a classic story of AI technology gone wrong, but for Lopez's titular character to stop the Cpu villains, she must learn to trust one of their fellows. Atlas features talent from projects like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, This is Us, Once Upon a Time, Sherlock Holmes, and more to tell its story, joining Lopez to play...

In Episode 2 of the “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,” we watch the recently out-of-the-closet 37-year-old comedian cheat on his first real boyfriend. In Episode 3 we watch him, dressed in a tux, stop to get a hot dog and miss his best friend’s wedding ceremony. In Episode 4, Carmichael asks his father about his 40-year affair and the other family he kept hidden — a story at the heart of Carmichael’s Emmy-winning stand-up special “Rothaniel.” Cornered by the cameras at a campfire during the father-son road trip, the elder Carmichael is visibly uncomfortable, refusing to talk on camera, and asks his son permission to go home.

The reaction on social media was fast, loud, and furious. Many were shocked by Carmichael’s behavior; more were in disbelief he’d document it for the world to see every week on Max. Some went as far as to question his ethics, accusing him of...

Jennifer Lopez's life and career have taken the world on an unforgettable roller-coaster ride. We've witnessed the ups, downs, and unexpected twists in between. She may not always be a favorite among critics, but Lopez has continued to produce films through her company Nuyorican Productions, elevating herself to celeb royalty. As she juggles the many crowns she wears, one that deserves the spotlight is her role in essentially being our first Latina rom-com queen.

Sure, some of her earlier films, like 2002's "Maid in Manhattan," were criticized for perpetuating Latina stereotypes. But despite the naysayers, Lopez has never given up her spot as a rom-com star. The 2005 romantic comedy "Monster-in-Law," which she stars in alongside Jane Fonda, followed those less desirable films and became one of her highest-grossing films to date.

The Way Back started a trend of basketball movies for Ben Affleck, showcasing his talent beyond superhero roles. Both The Way Back and Air were critically acclaimed, proving basketball can set the stage for powerful storytelling. Despite box office challenges, Affleck's love for basketball should inspire more projects like The Way Back and Air.

The Way Back started a modern awesome Ben Affleck trend that should definitely be continued. After starring as Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017), Affleck has returned to more traditional roles in dramas such as Jack in The Way Back, Pierre d'Alenon in The Last Duel (2021), and Vic in Deep Water (2022). His most recent role was Rex Stone in This Is Me... Now (2024), an Amazon Prime Video original film starring Affleck's wife, pop singer Jennifer Lopez.

As the anniversary of Jennifer Lopez's sixth studio album "Love?" approaches, it's a fitting time to reflect on this album's significance within J Lo's career, its impact on fans, and its continued relevance in light of her recent endeavors.

Released on April 29, 2011, "Love?" came at a time when Lopez was already a multifaceted force in entertainment. Music, film, and fashion-she'd conquered them all. Yet, "Love?" transcended mere career markers. It delved into love, a theme central to Lopez's personal narrative.

This wasn't just an album; it was a declaration. Through "Love?" Lopez explored her own quest for love and fulfillment. The title track, "(What Is) Love?" beautifully captures this yearning. Lopez laid bare her vulnerabilities through her music, creating an emotional connection with her audience. Take the poignant question - "Is this just a dream / Is this what it seems?" - which echoes a longing for validation, her desire to be someone's girlfriend,...

When it comes to moviemaking, the efforts Jennifer Lopez puts in her works do not go unnoticed. Her career as a singer isn’t the only one that gains great fame. As an actress, she has been in some of the most loved flicks out there. From Maid in Manhattan to The Mother, her dedication is one that is commended by many.

Throughout her career, she has gotten the opportunity to work with various acclaimed actors as well. Ben Affleck, Ralph Fiennes, and Matthew McConaughey only being a few of those names. Lopez working on her films is one thing McConaughey finds highly professional and commendable.

So much so that the actor couldn’t help but compliment her work ethic and dedication.

Jennifer Lopez has been busy. In case you missed it, the Puerto Rican singer, dancer, and actor released not one but three complementary projects to kick off the year. There's her "This Is Me . . . Now" album; a video companion/musical to said album, "This Is Me . . . Now: A Love Story"; and a documentary that dives into said love story, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told." It was an ambitious undertaking, no doubt. And one that has her being dragged across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

Part of the controversy lies in how Lopez represents herself and her native borough of the Bronx. In one scene from the documentary, Lopez tussles her curly hair while looking in the mirror and says, "It reminds me, like, when I was 16 in the Bronx, running up and down the block. Crazy little girl who used to fucking be wild and no limits,...

On the movie screen, Jennifer Lopez is known for being a romantic comedy queen in films like "Maid in Manhattan," "Monster-in-Law," and "Marry Me." However, on Netflix, she appears to be pursuing a wholly different crown and going after action movie and genre glory. Sure, Lopez has made her share of genre thrillers, especially early in her career: "Money Train," "Anaconda," "U Turn," and "Out of Sight," most notably. Yet it's her turn in 2023's "The Mother" that marked her debut as a fully-fledged action star and now she's following that up with a lead performance in a big-budget sci-fi shoot 'em up, if the new trailer for Netflix's "Atlas" is any indication.

As a co-producer as well as star of "Atlas," Lopez has put together a pretty promising team to bring her next Netflix-distributed action venture to life. Alongside co-stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong, the...

It took two acclaimed directors—Dave Meyers and Jason Bergh—and stellar music producers to successfully launch superstar Jennifer Lopez's $20 million grand opus about self-love and self-acceptance. Lopez did everything most industry people would advise her not to do: finance a bold endeavor that included the musical film This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, a more personal companion piece documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, a new album, and this summer's behemoth concert tour. This Is Me... Now and The Greatest Love Story Never Told are currently streaming on Prime Video.

If you had a hard time understanding Jennifer Lopez's recent music video project "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story," her documentary "The Greatest Love Story Never Told" might answer some of your questions. In the doc, Lopez shares that the inspiration behind both "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story" and her ninth studio album, "This Is Me... Now" (both of which released on Feb. 16), was to finally set the record straight about her love life.

"I've been married four times now. I'm sure people watching from the outside were like, 'What is this girl's fucking problem?' You saw kind of a compulsive behavior," Lopez says in the documentary's introduction. "What I portrayed to the world was, 'Oh this didn't work out and it's fine and I'm good and they're good.' And all of that was kind of bullshit."

Affleck plays two different characters in the film, a biker and a newscaster named Rex Stone.
