Patrick Swayze's Former Co-Star Opens Up About Their On Set Feud

By Tanya
The movie To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newar may have a crazy title, but its plot was groundbreaking. It's one of the Patrick Swayze movies that a lot of people forget about, but they shouldn't. It stars Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo and they each play a drag queen who are on their way to participate in the Miss Drag Queen of America Pageant. The movie caught a lot of people off guard, especially because it was 1995 and the drag scene wasn't as prevalent as it is now. Universal PicturesNow, Ru Paul's Drag Race is one

By Tanya
If you didn't read Roald Dahl books as a kid, what were you even doing with your time? There was no better collection of books for children, and the range of themes and plots meant that there was something for everyone. The Witches was probably one of the best though. It was the perfect combination of creepy and fun that made us keep reading long after our parents told us to go to bed. In 1990, they made a movie based on the book, and it was absolutely awesome. While it wasn't a huge box office success, critics loved it

By Tanya
The Roseanne cancellation caught a lot of us off guard. The show had done exceptionally well at bringing the Conners back to the small screen and made us all fall in love with them again. However, the star of the show had been sharing some offensive opinions and the network finally decided enough was enough.

By Tanya
Disney movies will forever be in our hearts as the most important things in our childhood. And if we're being honest, they remain just as good to this day. Even though we've aged, it doesn't mean we need to grow up! I would estimate that the majority of us are still watching Disney movies as they come out, whether it's because they are actually really good, or because we're old enough to have kids that want to watch them. But here's the thing, when we were young we probably weren't appreciating how much work actually went into these movies. Now

By Tanya
I don't know about you, but Clueless is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. The plot is based on Jane Austen's Emma and it gives us 90s girls a modern take on something that has been around for so long. The movie itself was a feat, taking something that would be considered a "chick flick" and making it a real 90s classic, and after all these years we're all still obsessed. Admit it, you still quote it regularly. There are too many good lines to choose between, so we tend to say them all. Alicia Silverstone became

By Tanya
With all these Disney live-action reboots going on, sometimes it's hard to keep track of what's about to come out. We know that Mulan is still in the casting process, we know that Aladdin has been filming, but now we have been surprised by the fact that Dumbo has released their first trailer! Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this one had completely slipped from my radar.
