Congratulations to Abby and the entire team behind JINGLE BELL HEIST!
November 26, 2025 at 10:00 PM
JINGLE BELL HEIST is directed by Michael Fimognari and stars Olivia Holt and Connor Swindells. This Christmas caper sounds like it might be ideal for that time between turkey and pie this weekend, especially if you're entertaining a crowd...

Cheers to Pat and the entire team behind ETERNITY!
November 26, 2025 at 7:01 PM
ETERNITY stars Elizabeth Olson, Miles Teller and Callum Turner and is directed by Dave Freyne. We don't want to tell you how to spend your long Thanksgiving weekend, but we can say this movie is a real crowd-pleaser and perfect for a little family outing...

Kier's striking and singular screen presence made him a memorable part of unique films including BLOOD FOR DRACULA, MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO, JOHNNY MNEMONIC, DANCER IN THE DARK, BLADE, GRINDHOUSE and MELANCHOLIA.

Cliff is currently the only reggae musician to receive the Order of Merit from Jamaica, the country's highest honor in the arts and sciences. He was inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
November 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
After singing with The Rolling Stones and being covered by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Cliff connected with a new audience in the 1990s, thanks to his cover of "I Can See Clearly Now" from COOL RUNNINGS and the unforgettable "Hakuna Matata" from THE LION KING.
November 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
In 1972, Cliff starred in Perry Henzell's THE HARDER THEY COME, an essential Jamaican film with a best-selling soundtrack featuring other reggae innovators like The Maytals and Desmond Dekker.
November 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Cliff's career began in the late 1960s, and within the decade, he was attracting the attention of songwriters like Bob Dylan thanks to the power of protest tracks like "Vietnam."

TOY STORY of course led to an entire franchise, with TOY STORY 5 currently in the works.

Which TOY STORY film is your favorite? (For us, it’s a toss-up between 2 and 3!) Do you remember where you were when you first saw the film? Let us know below!

We remember EXACTLY what it felt like to be dazzled by that first glimpse at fully-realized computer animation during the film’s opening weekend - but little did we know just how much Pixar would come to dazzle us all in the decades to come.

An instant critical and commercial smash, TOY STORY went on to receive three Academy Award nominations, including a historic-first Best Original Screenplay nomination for an animated feature film. (TOY STORY would also receive a special achievement Oscar for its technical innovations.)

Quentin Tarantino called the film one of the very best released between 1992 and 2009, and Time Magazine ranked it as the fourth best superhero film ever made back in 2011.

Where does UNBREAKABLE fall in your ranking of superhero films? Let us know below!
November 22, 2025 at 7:00 PM
UNBREAKABLE has gone from cult favorite to beloved classic in the quarter century since its release, and Shyamalan is of course still delivering twisty thrills to audiences in his newest films, TRAP and OLD.
