They announced a little while back that The Lion King was getting a live-action reboot, featuring an incredible cast, including the likes of Donald Glover and Beyonce.

The first Deadpool was a surprise hit. Comic fans had known the merc' with a mouth and his particular form of self-aware humour for years, but he really hit the big time once he made his film debut. Sure, he'd technically made it onto the big screen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine,…

Want to hear something that will make you feel totally ancient? The movie Spy Kids is now 17 years old. That's right. There are adults out there who were babies when it came out in theatres. Isn't that insane? Spy Kids was a pretty beloved film in my family; it…

Although I was technically still a youngster when the final episode aired, I feel like the hit NBC sitcom Friends has - and will continue to have - a huge effect on pop culture moving forward. Most people reading this would have been around during the show's original 10-year run…

Back in early June, the food world lost one of its wisest, smartest and most thoughtful faces. While Guy Fieri took us on regular trips to Flavortown and Gordon Ramsay cussed out wannabe chefs and made us all laugh, Anthony Bourdain would often make us think, touching our hearts for…

Many of us first became aware of actress Evangeline Lily through her character Kate on Lost. Back before it's... let's say controversial ending, Lost was the biggest show around - with all the water cooler talk about the exploits of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, in much the same…

Tom Hardy is an actor who simply loves to play a gangster, it's Tom Hardy. Ever since he starred as Britain's most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson in the eponymous biopic movie, he's stuck to portraying all manner of thugs, mobsters and weirdos, including Alfie Solomon in Peaky Blinders, Bane in…

Is anyone else's go-to remedy for when you're hungover - or just feeling a bit "bleh" - to navigate to Netflix and put on Friends? I'm sure I'm not the only one. There's something soothing about the laughter track, something familiar in all your favourite characters, and something so damn…

The year is 2001. Blockbuster is alive and well. Everyone is playing Snake on one of those Nokia brick phones. Avocado toast is not yet a *thing*. Oh, and the first Harry Potter movie has just been released, which means that - for kids of the late 80s/90s - the…

James Cameron's 1997 flick Titanic is one of the greatest films of all time. Of course, it has an incredible historical backstory (which is still super strange/tragic to think about), as well as some undeniably incredible filmmaking. The sets for the romantic drama were so accurate to the real ship, the…

So, what did you do this weekend? What a ridiculous question, right? Anyone in their right mind didn't move from their bed because they were too busy watching the new series of Orange is the New Black. Season five left us with so many questions that needed to be answered…

Sacha Baron Cohen first made his name with Da Ali G Show where he adopted the character of Ali G to interview unsuspecting guests, convincing them that his ridiculous caricature was genuine and poking fun at public figures.
