Alongside Kevin James, the cast of the 2011 comedy, Zookeeper, sees many high-profile celebrities help make it a memorable fantasy movie as they voice several of its anthropomorphic animals. James stars as the titular hero, who is considering a career switch as he feels thats the only way he can improve his chances at finding love. The news comes as a shock to his animal friends, and the zoo creatures try and set him up with someone else to convince him to stay. Zookeeper didnt fare well with most critics but is still worth a watch for family-friendly comedy fans.

What is worth noting about the Zookeeper cast is the stellar voice cast behind the animals and the actual animals themselves. The movie features some iconic animal performers, like Crystal the Monkey who provides the physical likeness for the tufted capuchin Donald, and the late Bart the Bear 2 who plays the grizzly bear Jerome.

October may be the scariest month of the year for some, but it’s also a great time of year to snuggle up with the kids and watch movies. Netflix has us covered with some great family movies dropping throughout the month.

There are movies for kids of all ages. Some of them are perfect for younger family members who want to laugh at the escapades of an animated, talking panda. Then there are movies for teenagers who need to learn a discipline or want to feel a little older and edgier.

Not sure what to watch? Here are all the family movies on Netflix in October in release date order.

With Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 just around the corner, there is no doubt that you’ll be in a Karate Kid movie.

Talented actress Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka) has just joined the cast of the upcoming anthology film Deepest, Darkest, coming from Marc Bernardin and Tiffany Smith. Bernardin is reportedly crowdfunding this project via Kickstarter. We shared more about this new movie below.

Deepest Darkest is executive produced by Akela Cooper and David Dastmalchian. According to Deadline, the film will tell stories of horror, suspense, dark comedy, and science fiction. But while there will be stories of different genres, each one will center around "the keeping of secrets."

You might recognize some of the directors who will be helming the segments. Directors include Latoya Morgan, Deric A. Hughes & Benjamin Raab (Quantum Leap), Ubah Mohamed (The Handmaid’s Tale), Lamont Magee, Sujata Day (Insecure), and Kevin Avery (The Great North).

In addition, Rachel Walker, Carrie Finn, and Kyle Smithers are serving as producers on the film. Besides Dawson, the cast also includes Smith, Avery, Day,...

Adam Sandler and Kevin James showcase real-life friendship in comedy collaborations on and off-screen. Sandler has taken on a producer role in many James' solo films, extending their professional partnership. Despite mixed critical reception, their joint projects have been successful with audiences, leading to box office hits.

Though there are many notable film duos in history, the various Adam Sandler and Kevin James movies highlight the two stars' real-life friendship. Both men have acted and produced, but they got their big break doing stand-up comedy. From there, the two continued collaborating on comedy films that brought them together, on and off-screen. While critics don't often love their collaborations, they continue to be a hit with fans. Sandler is the bigger star and has been around longer, but James followed a similar path.

Both men became stars on television, with Sandler on Saturday Night Live and James on the sitcom King of Queens.

Exclusive: Veteran producer and executive Becky Sloviter has been named President of Miramax Motion Picture Group, Deadline can exclusively reveal.

The news follows Miramax’s announcement three weeks ago that Jonathan Glickman had been officially appointed as CEO, taking over from the exiting Bill Block.

An Emmy and Golden Globe nominee, Sloviter launched her production company, A Dare To Be Great Situation, in 2022 and has most recently been under a first-look overall deal with ABC Signature. Prior to that, she served as Head of Funny Story Films, a division of MRC Film, there producing upcoming titles including the road trip comedy The Inheritance from Emmy winner Ashley Nicole Black and the Annie Murphy starrer Witness Protection, from screenwriters David West Read and Rupinder Gill, alongside Alloy Entertainment.

In addition to the acclaimed Andy Samberg rom-com Palm Springs, which won the Critics’ Choice Award...

It’s an interesting month on HBO and Max this March, as two acclaimed films hit the streamer along with some intriguing original programming.

First up in the movies arena is the streaming debut of Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet. From beloved Paddington director Paul King, the film follows the adventures of a young Willy Wonka as he looks to become the world’s best (and weirdest) chocolatier. Later in March on Max, there’s also Dream Scenario, a highly-regarded comedy boasting Nicolas Cage as Paul Matthews, who suddenly starts appearing in people’s dreams for unknown reasons, and who naturally becomes very famous as a result of this strange phenomena.

Series-wise, the biggest show on Max this month is The Regime. It packs a solid cast, including Kate Winslet, Matthias Schoenaerts, Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton, and Hugh Grant, and tells the story of “life within the walls of a modern...

The upcoming season will be set in Thailand, with filming taking place in Bangkok, Koh Samui, and Phuket. The White Lotus season 3 is expected to be the biggest season yet, departing from the previous locations in Hawaii and Sicily.

The acclaimed HBO series is set to begin production in Thailand in February 2024 with an anticipated release sometime in 2025.

Exclusive: Kevin James announced on Tuesday that his new stand-up special Irregardless — his third in total, and first for Prime Video — will debut on the streamer this winter.

News of his new hour’s destination comes as James prepares to head out on his “Owls Don’t Walk” comedy tour, beginning February 29th, 2024. Artist presale kicks off November 15 at 10 a.m. local time with code Kjtour, with general on sale launching at the same time on November 17th. All tour dates are available for review now.

In the family-friendly Irregardless, James delivers his unfiltered take on parenting, marriage, and getting older. Specific topics he takes on range from motivating children to put down their video games, to why he doesn’t trust technology, and how many Tater Tots he can fit in his mouth.

Kevin James: Irregardless is produced by Amazon Studios and Positive Image Video. In addition to James,...

Following a handful of supporting roles in “Tag,” “Green Book” and “The Irishman,” Sebastian Maniscalco makes his first bid for leading-man status with “About My Father,” a family comedy sourced from the same semi-autobiographical material that made his stand-up a commercial and cultural phenomenon. To say it’s better than all three “Meet the Parents” films may be a dubious compliment, but it’s one made more significant because it co-stars Robert De Niro — and more importantly, actually features recognizable human behavior amidst its suitably outlandish set pieces. Whether or not Maniscalco has a legitimate future as a movie star, he proves a likeable presence as a romantic lead, while director Laura Terruso skillfully delivers comedic payoffs that tap into his wheelhouse while introducing him to a wider audience.

Maniscalco plays “himself,” the successful, Chicago-based manager of a boutique hotel who falls for painter and artist Ellie Collins (Leslie Bibb...

Some actors and comedians from the King of Queens cast are still huge stars to this day, while others have played notable supporting roles on other TV shows. Styled as a modern-day take on the classic Jackie Gleason sitcom The Honeymooners, The King of Queens told the story of a childfree middle-class couple living in New York. The show ran for nine seasons on CBS from 1998 to 2007, airing a total of 207 episodes. Over the course of its run, The King of Queens was a ratings success and earned positive reviews from critics. Much of the critical acclaim focused on the hilarious work of the series’ all-star cast.

From standup comics like Kevin James and Patton Oswalt to legendary sitcom staples like Jerry Stiller, the King of Queens cast is full of gifted comedic performers bringing the show’s zany characters to life. Most of the award nominations received by The King of Queens...

Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Todd Garner’s Broken Road Productions.

The deal, first signed in 2018, has seen veteran film producer Garner make Playing with Fire for Paramount Players, which starred John Cena. Currently, he is developing the Rebel Wilson-starring pic Double Fault at Paramount.

“Todd has done it all in this business and really understands how to make crowd pleasing commercial films. He is a great partner to have at Paramount and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us,” Paramount Pictures Motion Picture Group co-presidents Daria Cercek and Michael Ireland said in a statement on Wednesday.

Garner’s upcoming projects currently in post production include Vacation Friends 2 for 20th Century Studios and Hulu; Reunion for Paramount+; Incoming for Spyglass Media Group’s Artist Road; and Xtr’s untitled Diane Warren documentary.

Paramount Pictures has renewed a first-look deal with Todd Garner’s Broken Road Productions, one the producer has had since 2018.

Garner produced the John Cena family movie Playing with Fire for Paramount Players and is currently in active development on Double Fault, starring Rebel Wilson, at the studio.

“Todd has done it all in this business and really understands how to make crowd pleasing commercial films,” Paramount Pictures’ Motion Picture Group co-presidents Daria Cercek and Michael Ireland said. “He is a great partner to have at Paramount and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us.”

Garner said, “I am so happy to continue our successful relationship with Paramount. It’s been an incredible five years so far and I am grateful to Brian [Robbins], Daria and Mike for the opportunity to continue our terrific partnership.”

Garner’s upcoming projects include Vacation Friends 2 for 20th Century Studios and Hulu,...

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, Screen Gems has acquired the rights to an untitled comedy, which is set to star London Hughes with Cat Wilkins penning script and Tim Story directing. Todd Garner and Spencer Walken are producing on behalf of Broken Road. Hughes will exe produce

The film follows a woman who is transported to 19th century England where she becomes entangled in and upends the love affairs of the community with her modern sensibilities.

Hughes made history as the first British Black woman to be nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy “Best Show” Award for her show To Catch a D*ck, which was released on Netflix in December 2020 as her debut comedy special. In 2020, she was awarded the Royal Television Society Award for “Best Entertainment Performance” for her work on ITV2’s hip-hop comedy quiz show Don’t Hate The Playaz. In 2021, she hosted The Netflix Afterparty, a...

Warner Bros. has shuffled around release dates for three of the studio’s upcoming movies: “Mortal Kombat, “Tom and Jerry” and Hugh Jackman’s sci-fi drama “Reminiscence.”

“Mortal Kombat,” a live-action adaptation of the popular video game, was originally set for Jan. 15, 2021, and will now open on April 16, 2021. “Reminiscence,” which was initially slated for mid-April, was removed from the studio’s calendar. The animated “Tom and Jerry” remake was moved up a week and will debut on Feb. 26, 2021, instead of March 5.

All three films, along with the rest of Warner Bros. 2021 slate, will premiere on HBO Max on the same day as their theatrical premieres. In total, 18 of the studio’s films — including “Wonder Woman 1984,” “The Matrix 4,” “Dune” and “In the Heights” — will launch day-and-date over the next 12 months. When Warner Bros. announced the plans earlier in December, a promotional trailer offered a disclaimer that individual release dates are “subject to change,...

November can be a slow month for streaming services. Amazon, however, is entering into 2020’s penultimate month with some steam.

Amazon is really beefing up its TV library in November 2020. Both Community (which arrives on Nov. 8) and Scrubs (Nov. 14) will be added to Amazon Prime this month and in the process complete the streaming trifecta: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu. That’s pretty impressive stuff for both shows. And then on the film side of things, November 1 sees the arrival of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Twilight, and the Underworld franchise. Somebody didn’t tell Amazon Spooky Season was over and bless them for it.

As for the originals, Alex Rider is the most intriguing TV series here. That is based on the British spy novel series and premieres on Nov. 13 on IMDb TV (which is available to all Prime subscribers). That will be followed by Steve McQueen’s Small Axe series on Nov.

We might not be getting any new episodes of The Walking Dead until next year, but AMC is supplying us with a holiday treat to tide us over. As part of the network’s Best Christmas Ever schedule, The Walking Dead is receiving a Christmas special this December that’ll see the cast of the hit zombie drama coming together virtually for a festive tease of what’s headed our way when the show returns in 2021.

Hosted by Talking Dead‘s Chris Hardwick, the holiday special will unite several fan favorite stars of the long-running series as well as its spinoffs Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond. It’ll stream exclusively on AMC+ – the network’s new premium on-demand platform offering early access and ad-free viewing – on Sunday, December 13th. That’s one week after World Beyond wraps up its season 1 finale.

The Walking Dead Holiday...

Donald Trump’s contentious interview with veteran “60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl, as well as Joe Biden’s less eventful sit-down, scored the show its largest audience since 2018.

The dual Biden and Trump interviews, the latter of which the President cut short, drew a total of 16.8 million total viewers on CBS and scored a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49, per Nielsen time adjusted fast national numbers. That represents the most viewers to tune in since the infamous Stormy Daniels interview from March two years ago. During the Trump interview, Stahl grilled the President on his coronavirus response.

The strong “60 Minutes” performance was likely due in part to the fact it was pre-empted by an NFL game. However, it still managed to put up those impressive numbers up against “Sunday Night Football” and the World Series.

Speaking of the football, a doozy of a game between the Arizona Cardinals and the...

Amazon Prime Video has a whole load of new content coming this November, and the best thing about the large haul is that all tastes are accounted for, so whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll have a lot of options.

Adam Sandler and Kevin James seem to be joined at the hip, and you rarely see one of them without the other following close behind. Sandler gave James his first role in a live-action movie when the latter was handed the glamorous part of Factory Worker in 2004’s 50 First Dates, back when he was still best known as the star of sitcom The King of Queens, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Over the last fifteen years, Sandler and James have co-starred in the three entries in the Hotel Transylvania franchise, two Grown Ups movies, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Zookeeper, Pixels and Sandy Wexler, while James showed up as himself for an uncredited cameo in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.

Even when Sandler isn’t seen on screen,...

Adam Sandler's 1998 sports comedy The Waterboy is one of the divisive comedians more fondly remembered movies. Though he did not appear in the movie himself, frequent Sandler collaborator Kevin James was recently asked which of his pal's characters he would most like to see receive a spin-off, with James quickly calling for The Waterboy to make a comeback.

"Oh, Bobby Boucher. I think Bobby Boucher would crush it. I'd wanna see more of that. I think he's phenomenal. I would love to see that."

Bobby Boucher is, of course, the protagonist of The Waterboy. Played by Sandler, who employs one of his typically ridiculous voices for the role, Bobby is raised by his overprotective mother, Helen. Bobby is the water boy for a successful college football team coached by Red Beaulieu, but when Beaulieu fires Bobby, he takes up the same position for a losing rival team, led by despairing Coach Klein.

We have the first full-length trailer for The Babysitter: Killer Queen. Netflix has revealed the footage from the upcoming horror sequel, which brings back several cast members for the first movie, including Judah Lewis as Cole and Bella Thorne as Allison. As we can see from the trailer, we are in for another horrific and comedic romp, with the action cranked up a notch or two.

The trailer opens up with Cole, who has grown up a bit since we last saw him, recounting the events of the first movie. Cole is dealing with some growing pains, as many of us do in our teenage years, only nobody believes his wild tale of near-death at the hands of his babysitter. To try and get away from his thoughts, Cole heads to the lake with some friends for what is supposed to be a raucous weekend of fun. While it starts that way,...

On the heels of releasing Music for Looking Animals, a new album under his solo project Mountain Time, Chris Simpson has released a wistful video for “Empty Graves.”

Directed by Gates Bradley, the black-and-white video features an accordion player busking in an empty town. Wearing a mask, she straps on her character shoes and plays the opening lines to the song: “I’m a sowing machine/Everything but what she needs/And God she knows just what I mean.” She travels through abandoned streets and fields, finally receiving a tip at the end.

Netflix is bringing The Babysitter 2 our way very soon. The streaming service has revealed an initial teaser for the upcoming sequel, which brings with it a release date confirmation, as well as a title reveal. The movie, officially called The Babysitter: Killer Queen, is set to make its debut next month on September 10.

To go along with the teaser, Netflix revealed several photos via its Nx Twitter account with the caption, "a lil sneak peek into all the chaos." The images and the teaser offer our first look at the sequel to the 2017 horror hit. The teaser doesn't reveal any actual footage. Instead, it gives a brief preview of the soundtrack, while basically showcasing a poster, as well as confirming the release date.

Netflix‘s biggest content drops typically come on the very first day of a new month, and August was no different in that regard. Extremely popular flicks like Seabiscuit, Mad Max and Being John Malkovich landed on the 1st, but not every new arrival hits Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched movies list.

Currently, the chart is being populated by some beloved classics – the wildly successful 90s adventure Jurassic Park is sitting comfortably at #2, for instance – and also a few of the usual suspects, but #9 is home to a sometimes overlooked Adam Sandler film that’s guaranteed to get some laughs out of you.

See for yourself below:

Top 10 Movies on Netflix US (August 5th)

Mr. Deeds...

With the summer starting to wind down, Netflix appear to be taking their foot off the gas a little bit when it comes to releasing high-profile original movies. Over the last few months, the streaming service has debuted a string of in-house projects that have either been subjected to widespread critical acclaim or racked up huge viewing numbers, and frequently both.

Netflix can sometimes be fairly secretive about their viewership data unless they’re shouting their success from the rooftops, and having recently revealed their Top 10 most-watched original movies ever, you can understand why they went public. If you include the reported 72 million streams for Charlize Theron’s The Old Guard that would see it claim sixth spot in the rankings, then four of the Top 10 were released between March and July of this year alone.

However, despite having a huge number of high-profile originals scheduled for the rest of the year,...

Kevin James is pretty similar to Adam Sandler in regards to the fact that most of his work is routinely trashed by critics and often falls into the “dumb comedy” category, but he’s still managed to amass a massive fanbase who’ll watch anything he’s in. Also like Sandler, though he usually seems to be phoning in most of his performances, we know that he’s capable of strong dramatic work when he wants to flex his acting chops a bit. Like we saw in the recent Becky.

But the comparisons don’t end there, as also like the Uncut Gems star, James’ efforts usually go over pretty well with the Netflix crowd, and that’s true yet again with the arrival of Zookeeper on the streaming site. Though it currently sits at 14% on Rotten Tomatoes, this 2011 comedy has been dominating the platform all week. It arrived on...

As we quickly approach the end of the month, things have been slowing down a bit as far as new content on Netflix is concerned. That’s to be expected, though, as most streaming sites usually drop the bulk of their new arrivals on the first of any given month, with the remaining days seeing smaller batches of new movies and shows being added.

Unfortunately, today is another somewhat slow day for the big N, as the platform has only brought us 4 new titles, consisting of 3 films and 1 TV show. That being said, it’s far from an underwhelming drop and there are at least a few things here that may catch your attention.

See below for the full list of what arrived today:

3 New Movies

Banana Split (2018) Double World (2019) Zookeeper (2011)

1 New TV Series

Shameless (Season 10)

Television-wise, your one and only option is season 10 of Shameless, though that’s far from a bad thing.

MRC Film has created a new label devoted to female comedies, which will be led by Becky Sloviter, the producer of Palm Springs, which sold to Neon and Hulu in a record deal at Sundance for $17.5M.

Already, the unnamed division has two projects in development: Let’s Have Kids!, which will serve as the directorial debut of Black Adam and Due Date screenwriter Adam Sztykiel and The Inheritance from Emmy winning Full Frontal With Samantha Bee and A Black Lady Sketch Show scribe Ashley Nicole Black.

The new label will work with other producers as well as various distributors as they amplify female-driven properties with an independent development budget. Sloviter will report to MRC Film Co-Presidents Brye Adler and Jonathan Golfman. She was recently the Head of Production and Development at Party Over Here, The Lonely Island’s production company where in addition to Palm Springs, she also produced...

You’ve seen Kevin James play a Queens delivery man, a mall cop, a retired cop, a biology teacher turned Mma fighter, a zookeeper (in Zookeeper), the president of the United States, an animated Frankenstein, and a straight firefighter pretending that he’s gay.

But it’s fairly certain that you’ve never quite seen him as he is in Becky, a stylish and very gory home-invasion thriller from the directing duo of Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott.

Sporting a beard worthy of the Duck Dynasty crew and a collection of Nazi head tattoos, James plays the leader of an Aryan Brotherhood-like ...

Kevin James is set to star in and executive produce a multi-camera comedy that has been ordered to series at Netflix, Variety has learned.

Titled “The Crew,” the series is set in a Nascar garage. James will play the crew chief. When the owner steps down and passes the team off to his daughter, James finds himself at odds with the tech reliant millennials she starts bringing in to modernize the team.

Jeff Lowell is the writer and executive producer on “The Crew” in addition to serving as showrunner. Jeff Sussman and Todd Gardner will also executive produce, with Matt Summers and Tim Clark executive producing for Nascar.

James is a multi-cam veteran, previously starring in the hit CBS sitcom “King of Queens” from 1998-2007. Most recently, he returned to CBS for the multi-cam “Kevin Can Wait,” in which he reunited with his “King of Queens” co-star Leah Remini. James...

The time has come for Hulu to release its list of everything coming and going in the month of August.

This will come in handy after the “Bachelorette” season finale in late July leaves us in desperate need of something else to watch.

In August, a new episode of Hulu’s horror anthology “Into The Dark” arrives, in which a group of social outcasts who are stuck in weekend detention are confronted by the school’s legendary hauntings.

Other Hulu originals include: “The Amazing Johnathan Documentary,” in which a filmmaker profiles a dying magician on his final tour, but the lines between reality and magic begin to blur; Season 2 of “Find Me in Paris,” and “Jawline,” a Hulu original documentary that follows 16-year-old Austyn Tester, a rising star in the live-broadcast ecosystem...

With little fanfare, YouTube started streaming popular ad-supported movies for free. Last month, movies like Legally Blonde and pics from the Rocky franchise (Rocky I-v to be specific) popped up on the streaming service.

This is a new move for YouTube as they used to only offer movies and TV shows for purchase or rental. It also comes after Roku introduced its own free, ad-supported movie selection called The Roku Channel which is available on the web. Walmart’s streaming service Vudu, as well as Tubi, offer their own selection of free films.

YouTube hasn’t disclosed the deals it has made with studios and according to AdAge, Rohit Dhawan, director of product management at YouTube said that there will eventually be a way for advertisers to pay to sponsor individual movies, giving users complimentary views and exclusive screenings.

For the time being, there are only about 100 movies available on...

If ever you wanted to watch a movie on YouTube for free without breaking the law, now is your time. Feature films have been available to purchase and/or rent on the Google-owned site for years, but last month YouTube rolled out a number of free, ad-supported offerings without making an explicit announcement about the new feature. Among the 100 or so titles currently available are “Rocky,” “Legally Blonde,” and “The Terminator.”

As for the ads themselves, they aren’t as obtrusive as you might fear: Watching Arnold Schwarzenegger say “I’ll be back,” for instance, will require you to endure nine commercial breaks across the sci-fi classic’s 107-minute runtime.

“We saw this opportunity based on user demand, beyond just offering paid movies. Can we do ad-supported movies, free to the user?” Rohit Dhawan, director of product management at YouTube, said to AdAge. “It also presents a nice opportunity for advertisers.

Rock stars wanting to be actors and vice versa are a common phenomenon in Hollywood. No one quite managed to pull off the transition with the success of Cher, who remains the only rock icon to manage to not only make a successful transition to acting but also to win an Oscar for acting and not composing.

It wasn’t an easy transition though. Cher paired with husband Sonny Bono in her teens to become the duo simply known as Sonny and Cher. After a string of hit records, the duo launched a successful television variety show where Cher was able to hone her acting and comedic skills as she appeared in various sketches. Her marriage to Sonny would end in divorce, and Cher struggled to transition in to acting. Upon receipt of a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for “Silkwood,” Cher thanked all the Hollywood moguls who would never give her a job.

Updated at 12:10Pm Pt with more numbers and analysis. The Orchard sprouted a hit over the weekend, opening teen comedy Flower, starring Zoey Deutch, in just three theaters and grossing a rousing $57,851.

That tally yielded the highest per-theater average of the weekend, though right behind it was IFC Films’ The Death of Stalin, which came in with $18,143 per situation in its second frame even while expanding to 32 runs.

Focus Features’ 7 Days in Entebbe went out to over 800 theaters on Friday with a so-so $1.63M start, while Good Deed Entertainment’s Journey’s End debuted in two locations, grossing $12,700.

The Universal Pictures sequel Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again has been filming since late August, but it's never too late to add an iconic new cast member. A report reveals that showbiz icon Cher has joined the cast, although no details about her character have been revealed. The actress/singer hinted about starring in the Mamma Mia sequel in a cryptic tweet over the weekend, and now her casting has been confirmed.

Unfortunately, no details were given about the character Cher will be playing, but this this will mark her first live-action movie role in seven years, since 2010's Burlesque, where she starred alongside Christina Aguilera, Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell and Alan Cumming. She also provided the voice of Janet the Lioness in the 2011 Kevin James comedy Zookeeper, and, most recently, voiced a character called Chercophonie on the Netflix animated TV series Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh. Regardless of who she's playing,...

About Long Live The King

Presumably having made note of what “Wonder Woman” did for the career of Gal Gadot, Jessica Chastain is in talks to join “Game of Thrones” and “X-Men: Apocalypse” star Sophie Turner in Simon Kinberg’s “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” (Fox, November 2, 2018). Chastain would take on villain Lilandra, alien empress of the Shi’ar. (We shall see if free agents James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence see fit to return.)

A twice-nominated, 40-year-old, outspoken actress, signing on to be a Marvel villain? Smart move.

Actors have an enormous advantage over actresses in Hollywood. For starters, the culture gives men more opportunities in more genres over a longer period to become leads. They’re allowed to improve with age and add silver-haired gravitas as they move from boys to young men to fathers to a man who could be king.

Actresses have far fewer opportunities, in fewer genres, over a much shorter time span to become leads.

Now that we objectified male actors for a change, let’s dive deep into Baywatch, a Seth Gordon film that’s set to be released on May 28 of this year. Judging just from Gordon’s previous work on Horrible Bosses and Identity Thief, it looks funny, and it looks good.

Move over David Hasselhoff! Dwayne Johnson takes over his role as Mitch Buchanan, the super hunky main lifeguard who now has to deal with a new recruit, Matt Brody, and his sporadic ways. Originally played by David Charvet in the television series, this new lifeguard is, surprise, played by Zac Efron. Together, the two must learn to overcome their differences after they find some underground crime ring that could potentially destroy the Bay.

Netflix has released the first trailer for True Memoirs of an International Assassin, the latest film starring Kevin James. Adam Sandler got a globe-spanning mistaken-identity movie on the streaming service earlier this year, so it's only fair if James gets one too.

James plays Sam Larson, a mild-mannered would-be author who gets mistaken for a killer-for-hire when his fictional novel about an international assassin is published as a true story. When the book is a huge success, he is suddenly kidnapped, taken out of the country, and forced into an assassination plot.

I rolled my eyes a lot during this trailer, but I will admit that this looks way better than Paul Blart, Zookeeper, Here Comes the Boom, or a lot of the other crap that James has been pumping out over the past few years. What do you think? Will you be checking this out? True Memoirs of an...

One episode was provided prior to broadcast.

Kevin James is a simple entertainer. His blue collar-friendly brand is designed to appeal to undemanding middle-aged schlubs, or at the very least, easy-to-please hard-working people who just want to kick their feet back, gulp down a couple beers and enjoy themselves for a few hours. The kind of people who don’t expect more than the familiar pleasures they’ve been given before. And there’s nothing particularly wrong with that either. James’ style might be boring and repetitive to some of us (well, maybe most of us), but he’s a smart businessman. He knows what his fans expect from him, and he tries to meet their modest demands. That logic drives Kevin Can Wait, James’ return to CBS and broadcast television.

It’s been nine years since James stepped away from King of Queens, pursing a career on the big...

Every so often, a film gets made that is so singularly baffling, so misguided and so wrongheaded that it is a kind of terrible miracle—something that should not be and yet is. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is exactly that kind of film.

On paper, it makes sense: a studio sees the success of the wildly popular line of Topps trading cards during the mid-’80s and determines a movie is there. The rights were snatched up by the Atlantic Entertainment Group and co-writer/director Rod Amateau was hired to bring the Garbage Pail Kids to the screen. Legendary effects man and sometimes director John Carl Buechler designed animatronic heads to be worn by little people actors and about $1 million was spent to make what would become The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, now widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. It’s now available in high-def...

Following a stellar year, including an Emmy win for her sketch series Inside Amy Schumer and a box office smash, Trainwreck, Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo features Schumer in her first HBO stand-up special directed non-other than by award-winning comedian/writer/actor/director Chris Rock.

Taped before a live audience at New York’s iconic Apollo Theater, Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo had one hell of a reputation to uphold, after all Schumer’s previous one-hour stand-up special, Mostly Sex Stuff, still stands as the highest-rated Comedy Central original stand-up special since 2011. Thankfully Schmuer comes out of the gate fighting – from the get-go her jokes are on point, swiftly testing the limits of comedy by delivering hilarious and shocking jokes along with off-kilter observations keeping the audience, and viewers, on their toes and in hysterics.

Yet hidden in those gross-out laughs and cutting edge jokes, Schumer actually has...

"I’m not gonna be a very good movie star," Amy Schumer sighed last night to a sold-out and adoring hometown crowd at New York City's Beacon Theater — a crowd that seemed to disagree very strongly with the statement. I don’t remember exactly when she uttered it, but I want to say it was right after the bit about the dieting tips she had learned during her recent stint in Los Angeles ("That’s the Hollywood secret: Don’t put any food in your dumb mouth!"); or the one about exactly how LeBron James ended up with a supporting role in her upcoming movie Trainwreck ("I wrote him into the script because he’s the only basketball player I’d ever heard of"); or maybe it was after her long, impassioned rant against the 2011 Kevin James movie Zookeeper that doubled as a lacerating critique of the rules about...

Netflix left its mark at Cannes yesterday by acquiring worldwide distribution rights to Kevin James action-comedy The True Memoirs of an International Assassin. The purchase furthers the streaming service’s aggressive forays into feature distribution, especially given that the budget is said to be on the scale of other James titles, including Sony Pictures’ Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and Zookeeper.

Under the terms of the deal, The True Memoirs of an International Assassin will be presented as a “Netflix event,” debuting exclusively on the streaming service next year and entirely circumventing a theatrical release. Major theater chains like AMC and Regal have been vocal in their opposition to Netflix failing to observe the traditional release model of a theatrical bow followed by home media release, so one can imagine those companies are none-too-happy to hear about the streaming service’s latest acquisition.

Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) is directing the comedy,...
