'Free Willy' Star Jason James Ritcher Arrested For Domestic Violence

By Tanya
Former child actor Jason James Richter, star of the iconic movie Free Willy, has recently gotten himself arrested. Many of us have forgotten about Richter, especially because he had stepped out of the spotlight for several years. He only started acting again in guest spots on shows like Bones and Criminal Minds in 2009, but nothing seemed to relaunch his career. Warner Bros. He continued working though, taking small parts in a variety of projects, with several movies set to be released this year, but apparently there's been a lot going on behind the scenes. The actor-turned-musician was arrested on

'The Conners' Showrunner Discusses The 'Painful' Decision To Kill Off Roseanne

By Tanya
The Conners premiered on Tuesday night to some very solid numbers. While it didn't get the same impressive score that the first Roseanne reboot got, the network is happy with their 10.5 million viewers. The episode showed us how the Conner family was dealing with the loss of the matriarch, and more importantly how they learned that she had in fact died of an opiod overdose. Fans of the original series were divided over this new spinoff, with some saying that it was completely unfair that Roseanne Barr was kicked her off the series. Many fans supported the show

In Defense Of The Disney Princesses That People Just Can't Stop Criticizing

By Tanya
Alright, I know that people tend to have varying opinions about the Disney princesses, and believe me, I get it. My opinions change on them every time I watch the movies again, or when I hear another well made argument.People have said that the older Disney princesses aren't always the best role models. Whether it's because they give up something, fail to save themselves, or something else, they are critiqued as being a bad influence for young girls. But I am here today to provide some over-analytical reasons why they aren't as bad as you may think. Are they

Disney Has Released New 90s Themed Merchandise, And Now We've Got To Go Shopping

By Tanya
I think we can all all agree that Disney movies are basically perfect right? Sure, there are some aspects of them that are a little outdated when it comes to the princesses, but our nostalgia filters have kind of blurred all of those lines anyways, so we can just appreciate them for being great. The songs, the stories, and all the characters were the stars of our childhoods, and we were all lucky enough to grow up during the famous Disney renaissance that brought us a whole new era of classics. Another bonus of living through the 90s meant that

'The Conners' Premieres With An Intense Emotional Episode That's Got Everyone Talking

By Tanya
Well, the day we've all been waiting for has arrived and The Conners finally aired their first episode. The hype surrounding this show has been undeniable, as everyone has been debating on whether or not the show should have been cancelled. Some people believed that if ABC thought that Roseanne Barr was too controversial for their network, then they shouldn't have brought the show back in the first place. When it was cancelled, they thought it was a huge overreaction. People got even more opinionated when ABC officially announced they were going to be bringing back the rest of the

Another Iconic Video Game Is Getting A "Mega" Live-Action Movie

By Tanya
When you were growing up, the library of video games was nowhere near as extensive as it is now. There were obviously a lot of good choices, but compared to the variety now, it was such a small percentage. Clearly it was because video games were still new when we were all young, but what we lacked in quantity, we made up for in devotion. Sure, there weren't new games every day that we could play on our phones, or elaborate and large games with graphics that end up looking so realistic it's creepy, but we did have characters that

We've Still Got Some Big Questions For Inspector Gadget Even After All These Years

By Tanya
Truth be told, I loved Inspector Gadget. The show was one of my all-time favorites when I was a kid, and the theme song still pops into my head from time to time. But just because I loved it, doesn't mean that I don't think it had some issues. I do, however, have some questions for Mr. Gadget, ones that still confuse me to this day. (And yes, I know it's a cartoon and it's best to not examine it too closely, but just for fun, let's do it anyways.) How did Gadget actually get his job? If he's a

The First Look At The New Live-Action 'Aladdin' Is Here, Do You Think It's A Diamond In The Rough?

By Tanya
We've been waiting for what feels like ten thousand years, and it's given us such a crick in the neck, but now we've finally gotten our first look at the new live-action remake of Aladdin. The problem is, it's just the smallest little taste, barely enough to know how to feel about this whole new world. We obviously all know the story of Aladdin, right? It's possible that it is the best Disney movie of all time. Sure, there are some other great ones, and honestly it's totally impossible to pick a favorite, but everyone loves Aladdin. The story of

A Trailer For The 'Pet Sematary' Remake Is Here And It Will Definitely Creep You Out

By Tanya
Stephen King is definitely one of the most iconic writers of all time. His ability to write stories that creep us out to our very core is honestly unparalleled. From Carrie to It, King has been freaking us all out for decades now, and finally one of his most famous stories is getting remade and the trailer has us all shaking in our boots. Pet Sematary was written in 1983, and was turned into a movie in 1989. The movie was released to mixed reviews, but it's one of those horror movies that while it may not be considered very

John Goodman Reveals What It's Been Like To Film 'The Conners' Without Roseanne Barr

By Tanya
We are only a few days away from the premiere of The Conners, which means that the cast promotions are in full swing. But I think it's safe to say that the person most people are interested to hear from is none other than John Goodman. Goodman's role as Dan Conner is one of the most iconic on television. He's one of those TV dads you wish you could spend time with, and we are all curious to see how his world will change with his on-screen wife leaving. He has already gotten into some issues over the new show
