And after a CT scan, Mark was given the alarming news. “She comes in and she’s kind of like a zombie,” he explained. “She says, ‘You have a mass behind your left ear the size of a golf ball. We don’t know what it is. We can’t tell you until it’s biopsied.'” The hardest part of the ordeal, however, was as Mark and Sunrise’s baby was arriving “imminently,” he opted to wait until a week after the arrival of their son Keen, now 22, to share the news with his wife. “I couldn’t tell Sunny,” the Marvel alum lamented. “She…

Some movies can be so iconic that they accidentally end up damaging their own genre in the long run. For instance, we’re all aware of how cyberpunk has been living in the shadow of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner since 1984, with it being nearly impossible to tell a story about a futuristic dystopia without bringing out the flying cars and neon signage.

A genre-bending murder mystery that takes place in the “distant” future of 1999, this special…
Will Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle be the first big blockbuster of 2024 and get the green light to move forward with a sequel? The director certainly seems optimistic. The last three original movies that Vaughn has directed – 2010’s Kick-Ass, 2011’s X-Men: First Class, and 2014’s Kingsman: The Secret Service – have all inspired follow-up features, so there certainly is precedent. There are certainly a lot of fingers crossed in the filmmaker’s fanbase, and if things do work out as planned, he will be ready for the opportunity, as there is already a plan for the future in place.Vaughn and Argylle…
For Ava DuVernay, whose projects like 13th, Selma, and When They See Us challenge viewers to contend with the gut-wrenching racism that’s colored American history, Origin provides a more global perspective on racial inequality and its foundation within social hierarchies. “I try to make soul food with my movies, not junk food, not fast food,” DuVernay tells Rolling Stone. “Not stuff that goes in and goes straight up the next day, but stuff that sticks to your ribs.” Origin, which DuVernay wrote and directed, draws inspiration from Isabel Wilkerson’s best-selling book Caste, and follows the author, played by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor,…

While Christopher Reeves passed away almost two decades ago, his name was thrust back into the spotlight last year following his CGI cameo in The Flash – which prompted an honest take from a Smallville alum. Now, his name is ringing in ears again following the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. The documentary in part highlights the Superman star’s appearance at the 1996 Oscars following his life-changing horse-riding accident and the emotional standing ovation he received, and Reeve’s eldest son has reflected on watching the moment and what still sticks with him.Before his…
