This is a big year for the Wilson family. Dallas-born brothers Luke and Owen are celebrating 25 years of their debut film Bottle Rocket, the now classic heist from comedy every hipster’s favorite director, Wes Anderson.
This year’s Emmy nominations promise many exciting races, and the lead actor category is no exception.
The days in which being labeled a “geek” was considered an insult are long over, as the current cultural landscape supports a love for Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones and the various other properties and franchises once deemed “nerdy.”
Superheroes! They’re everywhere! Movies about folks in capes and tights have been a mainstay in American cinema since 1978’s Superman: The Movie, and the genre rose to new heights thanks to the efforts of Tim Burton and Michael Keaton in 1989’s Batman.
Adam West. Michael Keaton. Kevin Conroy. Val Kilmer. George Clooney. Christian Bale. Ben Affleck. Robert Pattinson. At this point, Batmen are as common as brand cereal.
Dallas will soon have a new luxury movie experience.
Julia Roberts is more than just one of our greatest living actors — she’s a living legend. Between winning the Academy Award for Erin Brockovich, starring in some of the greatest rom-coms ever made (we mean, of course, Pretty Woman), and appearing as Tess Ocean impersonating Julia Roberts for a brilliant bit of self-indulgence in Ocean’s Twelve, she can do pretty much everything.
Whether you’ve mapped out an extensive breakfast feast or you’re waiting for a last-minute Amazon delivery, Father’s Day 2021 is the perfect opportunity to treat our dads. Seriously. You only have to do it once a year.
If a traffic jam on Interstate highway 35 inspired you to let out a “D’oh!” then we might have the place for you.
The bright side of 2021 is that we’re all a little better prepared for a zombie apocalypse. We’ve been paranoid about the symptoms of a disease that’s easily spread, and anxiously watched for warning signs.
Dallas native Luke Wilson wasn’t initially aware of the story of the Mighty Mites, but he quickly learned that it was a sports saga he should know about.
Widespread vaccinations promise Dallasites something that they didn’t have last year: an actual summer. It was hard to enjoy the season last year — what’s to love about warm weather if you can’t enjoy summer concerts, cookouts, waterparks or festivals?
You’ve probably heard the news by now: Hamilton is back. After a year of closures, the musical favorite (at least among the people who don’t listen to musicals) will be returning to Broadway in September, along with other marquee favorites such as The Lion King and Wicked.
Optimistic celebrities and theater owners have proclaimed that “movies are back” so many times now that it just seems redundant to say, but it looks like this vague notion is now going to be a reality. Just as everyone got bored rewatching Training Day for the umpteenth time on Netflix,…
Unlike last year’s virtual celebrations, this year’s 420 festivities could allow a good smoke circle among vaccinated friends. We’d also guess that setting up a Zoom meeting might be a challenge depending on how high you are. Disappointed stoners may have flocked to weed-centric movies last year when they couldn’t…
After months of speculation, Matthew McConaughey revealed last month that a run for the Texas governorship was something he was “giving consideration.” This wouldn’t be the first time the Academy Award-winning actor has hinted at political aspirations, but his recent comments inspired an onslaught of that routine response many performers…
Are movie theaters back? Well, maybe. The pandemic may have given Dallas audiences more time than ever to sit around and rewatch their favorite movies at home, but it’s no secret that everyone’s been itching to get back to the theater for a big-screen experience. With a wider rollout of…
Dallas actor Stephen Tobolowsky is perhaps best known for his role as Ned Ryerson, the earnest childhood friend of Bill Murray’s grumpy newscaster Phil Connors in the comedy classic Groundhog Day. You know, the guy who famously said “Phil? Phil Connors? I thought that was you!” countless times in the movie…
This week’s 93rd Academy Award nominations set a fair number of milestones. Steven Yeun became the first Asian-American actor ever nominated for Best Actor with his work in Minari; with Nomadland, Chloe Zhao became the first woman of color ever nominated for Best Director; Riz Ahmed became the first Muslim actor ever…
Even in the midst of a global crisis, Hollywood isn’t about to stop congratulating itself. After a year in which most movie theaters were closed, the Academy Awards extended and expanded their eligibility requirements for films in contention, pushing back their ceremony to April. As a result, movies released in…
Six Flags has never been a stranger to controversy. Arlington’s Six Flags Over Texas, the chain’s first park, came under fire in 2017 following the death of a Charlottesville, Virginia, protester by a white nationalist. The amusement park was widely criticized for continuing to fly a Confederate flag on park…
Even in the era of social media and streaming, there’s nothing in the digital world that can match the authenticity of live comedy. Watching a comedian risk losing his or her reputation and dignity on a set is a thrilling feeling, and the buzz of seeing a great routine is…
