Why “America’s Sweetheart” Meg Ryan Vanished From Movies After The ‘90s

By Zachary
If you were like me, you spent the '90s obsessing over movies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail.A big part of their success - let's be honest here, the reason for their success - was Meg Ryan, the magnetic, funny, and stunning actress who starred in all three movies.After her first movie role in 1981, the actress remembers job offers "just kept coming," until she was forced to drop out of college to focus on film career.Warner Bros. Along with her classic rom-coms, Ryan starred in box office hits like Kate

Time To Get Back To Work Because '9 To 5' Is Getting Remade, And You'll Actually Be Excited For It

By Tanya
Watching 9 To 5 as a young woman was always a fun experience. There was something so satisfying about watching these three smart women work together to take down their corrupt boss .Sure, we could argue about the legalities of them holding their boss captive, but what's the fun in that! He was a bad man who was lying, blackmailing, and was just all around evil, so the fact that they had to trap him to find out that he was embezzling money from the company is not the point. My main takeaway, as a younger girl who didn't understand

What Has Max Keeble Been Up To Since His Big Move?

By Meg
Max Keeble's Big Move is one of those movies that you totally forgot existed, but now that I've mentioned it you remember every single word to MacGoogles's theme song. "MacGoogles is me name, I like a swampy bog! It's time to play a game with your favorite highland frog!"As memory serves, this was the first movie I ever saved up for and bought with my own money. I couldn't have been more than 10 years old, and all I wanted was to watch Max Keeble defeat the school bullies before his family moved away. It also helped that the

Whatever Happened To Ethan Embry From "A Far Off Place?"

By Meg
A Far Off Place is one of those movies that we all remember from our childhood, but never really realized how dark it was. The 1993 Disney movie featured a young Reese Witherspoon who ends up walking through the desert with another kid. Seems relatively harmless, right? JUST KIDDING. The two kids, Reese Witherspoon and Ethan Embry, are left STRANDED in the desert after literally everyone else they know is murdered. Nonnie, played by Witherspoon, and Harry, played by Embry, had sneaked away from their home in the African desert to meet up with Nonnie's friend, Xhabbo. They hear gunshots,

Remember Sloth From "The Goonies?" The Man Behind The Mask Lived A Very Tragic Life

By Awa
The 80s adventure film The Goonies was one of my favorites while growing up. Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner's cult-classic about a group of outcasts in search for a treasure to save their neighborhood incorporated a lot of things that I did as a kid, like making my own toys and riding my bike around the neighborhood, but it also touched on things that I fantasized about as a kid, including teaming up with my friends and going on an adventure sans adults. The characters were also really lovable and memorable, especially the gentle chocolate and ice cream-loving giant named

Curse Of 'The Mummy' - How The Classic Film Nearly Wiped Out Its Cast

By Zachary
If any movie proves that "they just don't make 'em like they used to," it's The Mummy.That's the The Mummy - as in the box office smash of 1999, to avoid any confusion with certain other films bearing the same name.The mystical adventure had action, laughs, and special effects that look amazing to this day - and they should, because they cost $150,000 per shot.While The Mummy gave audiences chills, making the movie was just as frightening for its cast. From the very beginning of the shoot, to the movie's premiere, it seems like the film's

I've Only Just Realized All Disney Princesses Are Missing A Body Part And I'm Bothered

By Maya
During my childhood, there was never a moment I didn't wish I was a Disney princess. While I was partial to Belle, I felt a deep investment to all of the characters, who made me believe in happily-ever-afters.Growing up, I had watched each movie at least a dozen times, but I never realized something was missing, particularly, a body part.This isn't the only time the princesses have shared key attributes, as it was previously uncovered why they are predominately seen dressed in blue.DisneyIt's also interesting to note that most of their mothers have either passed away or
