The video game adaptation genre is one Milla Jovovich is plenty familiar with, and one of her movies is now climbing the streaming charts. After some smaller roles in the late '80s, Jovovich first rose to stardom with her turn as Leeloo in Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. The years since have seen her star in everything from Spike Lee's He Got Gameto Ben Stiller's Zoolander and its sequel, as well as David Harbour's Hellboy reboot.

Her most notable project to date, however, remains that of the Resident Evil movie franchise, an adaptation of Capcom's survival horror video game series of the same name. Partnered with her husband, writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson, Jovovich carried the role of heroine Alice through six movies, while also having starred in Anderson's adaptations of The Three Musketeers and George R.R. Martin's In the Lost Lands.

Paramount Pictures “The Truman Show” (1998)

Amy Poehler appeared on the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast and revealed that she shared a dressing room with none other than Meryl Streep during the “SNL50” special last month. And yes, Meryl Streep took her role in the “Close Encounters” sketch very seriously.

“There were so many people that people had to share dressing rooms,” Poehler said. “So I was sharing my dressing room with Meryl Streep. Just like a fan, I was taking a picture of the door that said my name and Meryl Streep and it was really cool.”

“She was getting ready for her sketch and really rehearsing it and I remember thinking, ‘I have never rehearsed as hard as Meryl Streep is in this one moment,’” Poehler added.

Streep’s surprise appearance on “SNL50” marked her first time ever starring on “Saturday Night Live.” She appeared in the “Close Encounters” sketch alongside Kate McKinnon,...

Charlie Sheen’s wild reputation once cost him an on-screen kiss. A former Disney child star reportedly backed out of a scripted lip-lock, worried about what she might “catch” from him. Sheen, known for his party-fueled antics and headline-making lifestyle, wasn’t exactly Hollywood’s safest bet. The actress’ hesitation wasn’t surprising.

While Sheen brushed it off, the moment became one of those bizarre behind-the-scenes stories that live on.

The Oscars will also be a major event on Hulu this month. The streaming service will air the live broadcast of the Academy Awards on March...

Hollywood’s obsession with established characters and stories didn’t start with endless iterations of Marvel superheroes. From the earliest days of sitcoms, producers tried to cash in on the popularity of hit comedy movies by translating them into weekly television shows. But except for rare occasions — namely, M*A*S*H and What We Do in the Shadows — the imitations rarely live up to the originals.

Here are seven terrible sitcoms that wasted the goodwill of the movies they were based on…

1 Fast Times

Hey, everybody, look who’s back! It’s… Mr. Hand? Ray Walston was a champ as a fed-up teacher in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but a reboot without Sean Penn or Phoebe Cates couldn’t help but disappoint. Critics complained that the network TV version took the movie’s realistically horny characters and “sanitized them into blandness.”

2 Uncle Buck

Charlie Sheen’s journey on Two and a Half Men, which once made him the highest-paid TV actor, has been overshadowed by his abrupt departure in 2011 following a public tirade against showrunner Chuck Lorre. Even after leaving the show, Sheen continued to make harsh remarks about both the series and its creator.

However, after a series of controversial remarks, the actor acknowledged that losing the show had cost him significantly while reflecting on the infamous phrases that emerged out of the series of headline-making interviews.

Charlie Sheen had a massive public fallout with the Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, with the actor making abrasive remarks about the showrunner. And amid his public meltdown, Sheen also did not spare his co-star Jon Cryer, who played the role of his brother Alan Harper in the hit sitcom.

After he was fired from the show, he went on to call his co-star names like “troll” and “traitor,” further leading the tensions between them. However, while their fallout has been tragic for fans on its own, what makes it even more heartbreaking is the admiration that Cryer has for his former co-star.

The stars really did come out for the 50th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live. Introducing Adam Sandler, who performed an incredible SNL50 tribute song, was none other than the legendary Jack Nicholson.

When the camera cut to Nicholson, the applause rained down. The actor kept it simple, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Sandler!" From there, Sandler gave a shout-out to Jack and began his song, singing, "Everyone in this room has something in common. All of our lives were changed by the show."

Sandler is known for his songs and mashups, and this one was perfect for the occasion. He sang about the cast, funny moments (including those behind the scenes), the crew, Lorne Michaels, and paid a very heartfelt tribute to fellow SNL vet and friend, the late Chris Farley, who passed away in 1997, and Norm Macdonald, who died in 2021. You can watch the entire performance, and Jack's introduction,...

Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary brought together some of the biggest names in the show's half-century history as well as Hollywood's brightest stars. And in typical SNL fashion, the night had its fair share of surprises.

The three-hour primetime special went off largely without a hitch, save for some minor technical difficulties and performers flubbing the odd line. But considering the scale of the production, it was an impressive feat and reminder of just how unique Saturday Night LIve still is after all these years.

NBC did a nice job of teasing the guest list ahead of the February 16 air date. Fans had a pretty good idea of which Hollywood stars and former SNL cast members would be in attendance.

And while the guests also gave some sense of what to expect, Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary managed to fit in a few surprises.

Charlie Sheen experienced the highest of highs during his stint in Two and a Half Men, which witnessed him in the shoes of alcoholic womanizer Charlie Harper. But in real life, Sheen wasn’t exempt from the consequences of Harper’s lifestyle, as his substance abuse issues and his rant against showrunner Chuck Lorre would contribute to his abrupt firing.

Interestingly, even though he lost the gig that made him one of the highest-paid actors in television at the time, it wasn’t a complete downward spiral for Sheen’s career. Despite his tumultuous reputation off-screen, FX signed the actor for Anger Management.

To say that Charlie Sheen‘s departure from Two and a Half Men was ugly would be an understatement, as most of the crew was uncertain about the sitcom’s future in the aftermath.

Fans can soon feel the love of a vintage comedy film featuring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson on streaming. The 2003 buddy comedy, Anger Management, lands an imminent debut on the free streaming platform, Tubi.

Tubi confirmed that Anger Management will become available to stream without charge on Feb. 1. The film has largely been available to rent or purchase digitally, via Prime Video and Apple TV. Anger Management is also the latest Sandler movie to be confirmed for a Tubi debut, with arguably his best feature, Uncut Gems, now available on the platform.

The public fallout between Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen and its creator Chuck Lorre ultimately led to Sheen’s departure. Following his exit, the showrunner replaced him with Ashton Kutcher, who joined the leading trio as Walden Schmidt.

However, the feud, which has since been resolved, continued making strides. And while Sheen openly expressed his despise for the show creator, Lorre seemingly used his creative liberty to mock him through Kutcher’s character, all while frequently derailing the show.

Since its end in 1997, "Married... with Children" has maintained a legacy as one of the strangest and longest-running television shows of its kind. The Fox sitcom was, on its face, a standard multi-camera sitcom about a dysfunctional family and the colorfully zany characters that breezed in and out of their suburban enclosure. At the same time, it bucked contemporary genre conventions, daring to push the boundaries of acceptable behavior for sitcom protagonists while leaning into the surrealist subgenre -- which, relative to the tamer landscape of TV back in the late '80s and '90s, surely must've surprised some audiences.

And yet, as odd and abrasive as the show could be, the series was reliably anchored by a powerhouse cast of comedic actors at the top of their game. This included Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, and Christina Applegate, all three of whom have been receptive to revive the series...

There was a time when actor Charlie Sheen seemed unstoppable. His CBS sitcom, "Two and a Half Men," was so wildly popular that it allowed him to become the highest-paid actor on television when he signed a contract in 2010 for two more seasons of the show at $1.78 million per episode. He had dealt with some personal demons and emerged from rehab seemingly all the stronger, ready to earn a tremendous amount of money and make America laugh alongside co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Better yet, he got to have a good bit of fun embellishing his own semi-rock star status by playing a character named Charlie who was clearly inspired by Sheen himself. Unfortunately, he fell from these great heights with incredible speed when he was fired from "Two and a Half Men" effective immediately in March of 2011.

Sheen's fall from grace was extremely public, as he aired his grievances with CBS,...

Stephen King is an opinionated fellow. Stroll through the fiction aisles of your local bookstore and examine the covers of newish novels, and you probably won't have to search long to find one bearing praise from Stephen King -- which is touching because, in this age of distracted everything, it's nice to see one of the world's most prominent authors exhorting people to lose themselves in a book.

King isn't always a ray of sunshine though. He's infamous for his dislike of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" film adaptation, and hasn't held back on other cinematic interpretations of his novels. And when Entertainment Weekly started giving King column space in its printed pages back in the mid 2000s to rant and rave about all things pop culture, he was unsparing with his hatred for the latest music by Jewel, Beyoncé, and Celine Dion while also unloading both barrels on prestige...

Jack Nicholson was already a major star before he played the Joker in 1989's "Batman." But his unprecedented deal with Warner Bros. for that particular blockbuster netted the actor more than $50 million and made him one of the wealthiest performers in Hollywood — not to mention one of the most influential. After somehow wangling a portion of the profits from both the box office and merchandising revenues from "Batman," Nicholson set a new precedent for big-name performers moving forward. The actor also basically ensured that "Batman" never actually turned a profit for Warners even though it became a box office smash.

When "Batman" debuted in the summer of 89, it arrived amid a public frenzy dubbed "Bat-mania" by the media. Audiences were clamoring for director Tim Burton's take on the Caped Crusader, which promised to restore the "Batman" property to its dark roots and deliver a serious take on a...

Considering how things ended between Two and a Half Men and Charlie Sheen following the latter’s problematic remarks and substance abuse controversy, many presumed this was the end of Sheen’s dominance on TV. However, in a shocking turn of events, FX signed the Platoon star for a new sitcom, and many were reasonably startled.

While his exclusion from Two and a Half Men meant that he would no longer enjoy the status of being one of the highest-paid actors on the small screen, the actor did attempt to tackle it with his plans for Anger Management.

Given his dominance as one of the biggest names on the small screen, FX banked on Charlie Sheen‘s dwindling star power, even though his reputation was heavily impacted after the Two and a Half Men drama.

Charlie Sheen has never been known for keeping his thoughts to himself. That was doubly true at the height of his sitcom-starring career in the 2000s and into the 2010s, when he bounced from Two and a Half Men to Anger Management, with controversy nipping at his heels.

At an earlier point in his career, Charlie Sheen had been an undeniable movie star. Platoon, Wall Street, Major League, all of them hits. Then, in the 2000s, the star needed a do-over. Sheen found reinvention in the form of television producer and writer Chuck Lorre, who cast the troubled actor as Charlie Harper in Two and a Half Men, a sitcom that would become a phenomenon. But the good times didn't last forever, and following Charlie Sheen's dismissal, he decided to bad mouth another Lorre production in the form of The Big Bang Theory.

Starring alongside Charlie Sheen and Angus T. Jones, Jon Cryer took on one of the leading roles in the hit CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men. However, the actor had a significantly lower salary compared to his co-star, who saw a controversial end to his journey on the sitcom following his public breakdown and rant against the showrunner Chuck Lorre.

Hollywood anarchist and noted nudist Jack Nicholson saw his career flash before his eyes in the mid-1980s as the era’s most popular movies totally confounded him. In a 1986 interview with The New York Times, Nicholson was asked if he felt “like a creative person trapped in an uncreative age in the industry.”

''Well, you know,” Nicholson replied, “last night I saw — what’s that movie? Ferris something?”

Was Nicholson referring to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Anyone? Anyone?

“Well, that movie made me feel totally irrelevant to anything that any audience could want, and 119 years old,” he explained.

To make matters worse, it felt like the audience was on John Hughes’ side of the argument. “Believe me, everyone else watching it liked it,” he said. “And you know, I literally walked out of there thinking my days are numbered. These people are trying to kill me.”

Charlie Sheen, known for his role in the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men, experienced a career decline marked by the loss of his role on the popular show. While several factors contributed to his downfall, his substance abuse is often cited as a major reason.

You may have had your fill of Deadpool and Wolverine posters after yesterday's deluge, but Dolby has now shared their official one-sheet for the Merc With a Mouth's MCU debut, and it appears to take inspiration from the poster for 2003's Anger Management starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson!

In related news, Cineplex has announced that the movie has passed $1 million in ticket pre-sales.

This marks another pre-sale milestone, after AMC Theaters announced that the film sold more tickets on day one than any other R-rated movie in the company's history last month.

The prospect of seeing Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson joining forces with Hugh Jackman's Logan is clearly a huge draw, and while it obviously remains to be seen how the movie ultimately performs at the box office, this is a very good sign.

No sibling duos in sitcoms can compare to the very realistic, based-on-sarcasm-and-threats pair that is Charlie and Alan Harper in Two and a Half Men. Created by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn, the 12-season series focuses on the crazy shenanigans two adult brothers often find themselves in. Charlie Sheen played Charlie Harper, a snarky jingle writer who is afraid of commitment but somehow found it in his heart to welcome his younger brother Alan (Jon Cryer) and his 10-year-old nephew Jake (Angus T. Jones) into his bachelor pad in Malibu.

Charlie and Alan rarely see eye to eye on issues, as Alan is pretty much the complete opposite of his brother, but in the end, they do what they can to help each other. During the eighth season, a very public feud happened between Sheen and Lorre, resulting in Sheen's character getting killed off and replaced by Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher). Of course,...

A24 released the trailer for “Maxxxine” early Monday, the third part of a genre trilogy from Mia Goth and director Ti West. Whereas “X” focused on a porno shoot in 1979 and “Pearl” took the action way back to 1918 (with Goth mugging with a frozen smile for insane lengths of time), “Maxxxine” is set in Los Angeles during its sleaze nadir of 1985, with Goth’s Maxine Minx ready to make the transition from adult entertainer to horror movie star. Alas, a serial killer (“The Night Stalker”) is on the loose, causing trouble.

Set to “My Obsession” by Animotion and “Self Control” by Laura Branigan, Maxxine and hear blown-out hairstyle zoom around L.A., meeting Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon along the way.

In the annals of cinema, fans will forever associate Adam Sandler with comedy. It's no surprise given his filmography, which includes movies like 50 First Dates, Big Daddy, Billy Madison, Anger Management, and Mr. Deeds. However, Sandler is a more versatile actor, showcasing his talents in dramas like Hustle, Uncut Gems and Punch-Drunk Love.

Sandler diverts off the beaten path even more and makes a rare foray into straight-up sci-fi thanks to Netflix's Spaceman.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, his mind starts to fray, which leads...

Cryer hasn't spoken to Sheen in years, but he's happy to hear about Sheen's recovery since their time working together. If a reunion were to happen, Cryer implies that he would want fair pay or incentives, suggesting that he values his career after Two and a Half Men.

Jon Cryer has commented on the possibility of a reboot of Two and a Half Men. The show was a massive success during its initial run, leading to Charlie Sheen becoming the highest-paid actor on TV at the time. Yet, internal arguments led to a shakeup in the cast after a falling out between Sheen and creator Chuck Lorre. Ashton Kutcher was cast in a replacement role, and Sheen's character would return later in the finale,...

The 2000s were seen by many as a golden age of edgy, risky and raunchy comedy, especially as actors like Seth Rogen, James Franco and Steve Carell saw their careers take off. One of the decade's best films was Mean Girls, a comedy centered around high school clique culture. With the movie's 2024 remake having been released, many fans have been revisiting some of the other comedies that made the 2000s the fun decade for movies that it was.

Comedies have a unique ability to unite viewers around a shared sense of humor and mutual enjoyment of jokes and witty plots. Ranging from amusing satire to absurd buddy comedies and unique romcoms, the decade remains a safe bet for people who want good, reliable humor. Not only did the 2000s build up some of the genre's best acting careers, it pulled no punches and earned the respect and love of viewers.

Charlie Sheen reflects on his infamous feud with Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, admitting that he messed up and could have continued the show. Sheen recalls the years of great memories and hard work on the sitcom, acknowledging the value of creating something that people truly enjoyed and were connected to. Sheen and Lorre have reconciled and moved on, with Lorre praising Sheen's efforts to make up for their fallout and even making changes to accommodate him in his new show, Bookie.

Following the debut of the duo's new show, Charlie Sheen is getting candid about his former feud with Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre. The two had an infamous and highly publicized falling out amid production on season 8 of the hit sitcom, with Sheen's increasing troubles with drugs and alcohol resulting in disparaging remarks made about Lorre, which resulted in the actor's firing...

Anger Management subverts Adam Sandler's usual comedic persona, with him playing a more reserved and passive character instead of the goofy misfit. Jack Nicholson steals the show with his funny and charismatic performance as Buddy, delivering some of the film's best moments and quotable lines. Despite being a departure from Sandler's typical films, Anger Management proves that he can successfully be the headliner of a comedy without being the comedic center of attention.

If you were of a certain age in the early 2000s, Adam Sandler felt like the biggest star in the world. He had his run in the late ’90s of making hit comedies, which, while not always popular with critics, always seemed to connect with mainstream audiences. The blend of often ridiculous comedy and his naturally likable on-screen presence was a winning combination. Say what you will about his later films, but try telling someone who grew up with Billy Madison,...

It seems like an eternity ago that Charlie Sheen – all fueled up on tiger blood – was “winning.” Of course, his idea of “winning” was far different than pretty much everybody else’s since he ended up getting canned from Two and a Half Men, which some reports put him making upwards of $1.8 million per episode. Now, as he has reteamed with showrunner Chuck Lorre, Charlie Sheen says everything seems so “surreal” now.

Speaking with People, Charlie Sheen stated, “It’s one of those things that is so surreal that I keep hearing Al Michael’s famous hockey call: ‘Do you believe in miracles?!’ It’s a trip. When I won a Golden Globe for Spin City, the last place I expected to be was at that podium and I said, ‘This feels like a sober acid trip.’ And I think that quote rings true for what I’m going through with this experience.
