Sometimes the tabloid mindset can push rabid fans down serious rabbit holes. One of the more recent examples of this was actress Mila Kunis having lunch with “Fantastic Four” director Matt Shakman (“WandaVision“), who is notably friends with a bunch of Hollywood industry people such as recognizable actors like Kunis. Well, despite famous people often lunching together in Los Angeles the meet-up in February sparked a wave of online casting rumors that Kunis was being courted for the female lead role of Sue Storm, and even less believable rumor she’s up for Ben Grimm, aka, The Thing.

Recently, Hulu debuted the film, “Not Okay,” about a young woman lying about her past in an attempt to garner sympathy on social media. It appears Netflix is about to release another film about a woman potentially lying about her past. However, in “Luckiest Girl Alive,” there could be way more sinister secrets to be unveiled.

Addiction is a terrible disease. That’s not a revelatory statement, obviously, but it’s something that is readily apparent from the trailer for the new drama, “Four Good Days.”

You had to know it was going to happen eventually. Someone in a small town was going to watch “Gone Girl” and try to figure out how to stage a crime scene and become a local celebrity after their spouse goes missing. And while we’re not sure if the main character in “Breaking News in Yuba County” recently watched the David Fincher film, but one thing is clear – she’s a terrible liar.

The most memorable scene in Glenn Gordon Caron’s “Clean and Sober” – now over 30 years old, but still, for my money, the last word in addiction drama — is a phone call. The addict at the story’s center (Michael Keaton) is desperate for money to dig himself out of a drug-induced hole, or for money to buy more drugs, or both. So he phones his mother in the middle of the night, muddles through the minimal amount of small talk, and proposes she loan him some money by taking out a second mortgage on the house.

Once upon a time, you could watch a family movie and be well and truly uplifted by the whole experience. These days, however, animated family features come pre-loaded with a minefield of emotional trappings which produce tears of laughter in children and just plain tears in adults. And “Wonder Park” looks like another guilty culprit.

It pays good money saving (or not saving…) the universe from Thanos, apparently.

Forbes has recently come out with its list of the 10 highest-paid actresses for 2018. And vaulting into the #1 spot, after not even making the top 10 in 2017, is none other than Black Widow, aka Scarlett Johansson, with a whopping $40.5 million.

And believe it or not, if you look at her output over the last year, it’s mostly coming from her role in “Avengers: Infinity War” and the upcoming “Avengers 4.” Not too shabby at all, especially considering her very limited screentime in the aforementioned ‘Infinity War.’ Johansson has become a highly sought-after actress, commanding big paydays and spearheading productions.

Though it doesn’t quite do for mothers what “Bridesmaids” did for single women, “Bad Moms” is a riotous comedy that left my theater echoing with shrieks, snorts and cackles. These aren’t the type of wry jokes that leave audiences nodding, smiling or chuckling politely; instead, they’re the ones that leave you wondering the next day if it was your Pilates class that made your abs so sore (nope).

Moms deserve a bit better than this spring’s trainwreck “Mother’s Day,” and they’re gonna get something that hopefully honors them a bit more with the upcoming raunchy comedy “Bad Moms.” Because title aside, the comedy starring Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Christina Applegate and Kathryn Hahn has a message to share — that no matter what shape motherhood takes, there are no bad choices when trying to do the best for your child.

Ever since the smash success of “Bridesmaids,” more ensemble female-driven comedies have been greenlit in an effort to duplicate that hit. This year we’ve already had “How To Be Single,” and this summer comes “Bad Moms.”

Starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett Smith and Annie Mumolo, and written and directed by Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (“The Hangover,” “21 and Over“), the story revolves around some alpha Moms who push some regular Moms to the brink, and war ensues.
