While known by most as Henry Hill in the Martin Scorsese masterpiece “Goodfellas,” Liotta has truly done it all. He’s played threatening gangsters,hilarious con men, and even had two different appearances in “Muppets” movies. There’s something indefinably remarkable about Ray Liotta, who could deliver a performance in a film like “Narc” with the same intensity and dedication as “Wild Hogs....

Miss America’s 100th Anniversary Broadcast Was A Historic Disaster Miss America and the world of pageantry in general have been maligned for decades, and after last night’s historic 100th Anniversary showing, it feels like a sign from the universe that the pageant needs to pack up its tiaras and close up shop.

Park Chan-Wook, David Cronenberg, And More To Debut Films At Cannes - See The Lineup In the days leading up to today’s Cannes 2022 lineup reveal, much of the conversation ended up revolving around which movieswouldn’tbe partaking in the respected and prestigious film festival. Sadly, it would seem that rumors of a new David Lynch movie filmed in total secrecy and set to premiere at Cannes weregreatly exaggerated.

Scott Cooper And Christian Bale Will Shoot ‘Hostiles’ This Summer ScottCooper’s directorial career got off to a great start withCrazy Heart,a well-acted drama that scoredJeff Bridgesan Oscar win. Cooper’s two films that followed,Out of the FurnaceandBlack Mass, were less successful with audiences and critics. The director’s recent gangster drama may have been adisappointment, despiteJohnny Depp’s often terrifying performance, but he still does have a way with actors. So it’s understandable thatOut of the FurnacestarChristian Bale(The Big Short) would want to work with him again for his latest project,Hostiles....
