How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
From DreamWorks Animation comes a
surprising tale about growing up, finding the courage to
face the unknown…and how nothing can ever train you to
let go. What began as an unlikely friendship between an
adolescent Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has
become an epic adventure spanning their lives. Now chief
and ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, Hiccup has created a
gloriously chaotic dragon utopia. When the sudden
appearance of female Light Fury coincides with the
darkest threat their village has ever faced, Hiccup and
Toothless must leave the only home they’ve known and
journey to a hidden world thought only to exist in myth.
As their true destines are revealed, dragon and rider
will fight together, to the very ends of the Earth, to
protect everything they’ve grown to treasure.

A Star Is Born
Seasoned musician Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) discovers, and
falls in love with, struggling artist Ally (Lady Gaga). She has
just about given up on her dream to make it big as a singer until Jackson coaxes
her into the spotlight. But even as Ally's career takes off, the personal side
of their relationship is breaking down, as Jackson fights an ongoing battle with
his own internal demons. An absolutely incredible movie that looks at substance
abuse, suicide and what fame can do to a person. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
truly strong emotional performances.
The Buzz...
Black-ish star Marsai Martin is about to make history. The
14 year old actress is gearing up to be the youngest executive producer of a
major Hollywood movie in history. She'll bear the title when her film Little,
starring Insecure's Issa Rae and Girls Trip's
Regina Hall, hits theaters this Spring.
There's some big news for all those Xanxiety fans out there: Lil
Xan is going to be a father. The rapper revealed on Instagram that
he and his girlfriend Annie Smith were starting a family together.
Miranda Lambert made a surprise reveal about her current
relationship status. "In honor of Valentine's Day I wanted to share some news,"
the country singer wrote on Instagram. "I met the love of my life. And we
got hitched! My heart is full. Thank you Brendan Mcloughlin for
loving me for.... me."
The three-day President's Day weekend last year saw the top twelve
gross over $270 million, the bulk of which was due to the over $202 million
three-day opening for Black Panther, accounting for nearly 74% of
the combined top twelve gross. This year didn't have such a monster release, and
while expectations were muted, the top twelve's combined $109.1 million makes
for the worst three-day President's Day weekend since 2004.
Bette Midler will perform The Place Where
Lost Things Go at the Oscar ceremonies on Feb. 24.
Midler, a longtime friend of composer lyricist Marc Shaiman, will
sing the song originally performed by Emily Blunt in Mary
Poppins Returns. The song, by Shaiman and his lyricist partner Scott
Wittman, is one of five nominees for best original song.
Dwayne Johnson shared the news Friday on Instagram, saying
production just ended on the “most challenging film” he’s ever done. “Hobbs &
Shaw is officially wrapped,” Johnson wrote. “Easily the most challenging
film I’ve ever produced and starred in, however based on the fans’ insanely
hyped ‘break the internet’ reactions to our first trailer — this film is also
shaping up to be my most rewarding.”
Ja Rule, who collaborated on Fyre Fest with Billy
McFarland, clearly hasn't learned his lesson. While speaking to TMZ,
the rapper said that he's going to plan a second, rebranded iteration of the
event, which he claims will be "iconic." |
