CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard A few days ago actor Mark Wahlberg , who routinely is the picture of fitness, surprised fans by showing a significant weight gain, that wasnt exactly muscle. The actor has apparently gained 20 pounds for a role in the movie Stu, and isnt done with the weight gain just yet. While Wahlberg doesnt exactly looks like hes in the best shape anymore, the diet that he is currently on to gain this weight is apparently about as intensive as anything Dwayne Johnson has ever ...

CinemaBlend At this point it feels like the Fast and Furious franchise has done it all. Theyve been all over the world, and completed all forms of crazy stunts. The new trailer for the film even implied that what started as a joke, that the series should take the characters to outer space, might even be actually happening, or at least something very close to it. There seems to be little else for the new movie to do of note, except, as it turns out, have two female characters actually spend any...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Walt Disney World has been open since July 2020, and while that means its almost been a full year, the last year has looked nothing like what a typical year at Disney World usually looks like. There have been no fireworks, no parades and no chances to hug your favorite Disney characters. Special after hours ticketed events, like Mickeys Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, have also been missing in action. However, today Disney announced that this coming Halloween, Disney...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard While comic book movies are still the most popular thing in the world, despite there being a significant lack of movies, theres still really been nothing quite like Joker. The movie really took the concept and character of the clown prince of crime from the comics, but then built a world around him that was unique to say the least. It was a box office smash and it was nominated for 11 Oscars, and went home with two. Its not exactly shocking that there was talk of ...

The reopening of theme parks itself brought back something that a lot of people felt was normal, but actually visiting those parks right now is anything but normal. However, for those that are truly waiting for the theme park experience to be back to what it once was, weve seen a big step in that direction as both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort have announced tha...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard While video games are still a popular source for big screen inspiration, they rarely find widespread success. One recent exception to that rule was Detective Pikachu, which brought the world of Pokemon to life and became the highest grossing movie ever based on a video game. Such success meant it was little shock when there were reports that a sequel was in development, but its now been two years since that report, and basically nothing has come of it. We dont re...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard There are a lot of people that dont like change when it comes to theme park rides. Because nostalgia is such a prevalent feeling in theme parks theres a feeling from some that change is antithetical to the concept, but the recent updates to Disneylands Snow White attraction are getting attention now, not because of whats been taken away from the ride that opened with the park in 1955, but whats been added. The ride contains a recreation of the final moments of the ...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Parenthood is a hell of a thing. To say it completely changes your life is sort of underselling it. Jordana Brewster, who is returning to the F9, knows all too well as she has two sons. The actress became a mother using a surrogate after several attempts at IVF did not work out. Its because the actress did not actually carry her children herself that she ended up not taking any maternity leave when they were born, a decision she now regrets. Jordana Brewster recen...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard If you go to a theme park you expect to stand in lines. There are lines for rides, lines for food, lines to get pictures with costumed characters or in front of major landmarks. Even with theme parks currently only allowing a fraction of their normal capacity, social distancing has made many lines physically longer than ever before.
