The 32 greatest music movies (that aren't musicals)

5 days ago | gamesradar.com | James Grebey

A movie doesn't have to be a musical to be, well, musical! There are countless great films about music that don't feature chorus lines or dancers breaking into spontaneous song of the sort you'll see on Broadway. Plenty of movies are about musicians, and as a result, audiences get to hear them play on a big screen.

What makes for a good fantasy movie? It's not just dragons or swords or sorcery, though that certainly helps.

Who Cooked What and Who Went Home on Yes, Chef! This Week? (May 5, 2025)

1 week ago | yahoo.com | James Grebey

The second episode of NBC's new cooking competition Yes, Chef! began with Martha Stewart putting her famous roast chicken in the oven. The rest of the hour had the 11 remaining contestants trying to make appetizers to go with Martha's tasty poultry — and, at times, running around like headless chickens themselves. After Chef Petrina was eliminated at the end of last week's premiere episode, the second episode had the contestants split into two teams of five for the Trust Fall Relay challenge.
Andor’s Adria Arjona Doesn’t See Bix As a Victim

1 week ago | vulture.com | James Grebey

Despite depicting nearly a half-century of conflict, it wasn’t until the second season of Andor that Star Wars broached one of the ugliest realities of war. In episode three, an Imperial officer attempts to rape Adria Arjona’s Bix Caleen. She’s able to fend him off, but the moment, which is appropriately terrifying in its depiction of the assailant’s odious abuse of power and the violence of their struggle, shocked some viewers.
The 32 greatest DC Comics movies of all time

1 week ago | gamesradar.com | James Grebey

There have been dozens of movies based on DC Comics, which means that superheroes have thrown endless numbers of punches, villain after villain has explained their master plan, and the day has been saved countless times. Not every scene in every DC movie is "super," but the ones that are justify the whole messy cinematic franchise. We're talking about the moments that make you believe a man can fly. Here are the 32 greatest DC Comics movie moments.
Luthen’s Wig Is ‘Andor’s Most Revealing Character Detail

This is how a man of a certain age who is a happy, loyal citizen of the Empire would look, is it not? Andor is a complex tale of rebellion and revolution across a vast sci-fi galaxy, so there’s a lot to keep track of — especially since season two is coming out a few years after season one. You’d be forgiven for thinking, as I did, that one of the main characters got a haircut between episodes three and four. After all, there is a one-year time jump between each of this season’s arcs.
32 Movies With Ambiguous Endings

2 weeks ago | gamesradar.com | James Grebey

The great thing about watching a movie is that usually, after 90 or so minutes, the credits roll and you can feel satisfied that you've seen a complete story with a tidy ending. However, that's not always the case, as some films have ambiguous endings. These conclusions are anything but tidy, and viewers have to ponder what happened or what it all means for days—or even years—to come after they leave the cinema. However, when done right, these ambiguous endings are a feature, not a bug.
"A Heavy, Difficult Profession, But..."

On the new cooking series the 12 competing chefs aren't just trying to showcase their command of the kitchen. They're also trying to show they can control their own emotions and hot tempers. But, in a new interview with Hasan Minhaj, co-host José Andrés said he gets why chefs are stressed - even if he says it's not as crazy as some popular, fictionalized cooking series make it out to be.
