Dallas will soon have a new luxury movie experience.
Julia Roberts is more than just one of our greatest living actors — she’s a living legend.

Dallas native Luke Wilson wasn’t initially aware of the story of the Mighty Mites, but he quickly learned that it was a sports saga he should know about.
Widespread vaccinations promise Dallasites something that they didn’t have last year: an actual summer. It was hard to enjoy the season last year — what’s to love about warm weather if you can’t enjoy summer concerts, cookouts, waterparks or festivals?
You’ve probably heard the news by now: Hamilton is back. After a year of closures, the musical favorite (at least among the people who don’t listen to musicals) will be returning to Broadway in September, along with other marquee favorites such as The Lion King and Wicked.
Optimistic celebrities and theater owners have proclaimed that “movies are back” so many times now that it just seems redundant to say, but it looks like this vague notion is now going to be a reality. Just as everyone got bored rewatching Training Day for the umpteenth time on Netflix,…
Unlike last year’s virtual celebrations, this year’s 420 festivities could allow a good smoke circle among vaccinated friends. We’d also guess that setting up a Zoom meeting might be a challenge depending on how high you are. Disappointed stoners may have flocked to weed-centric movies last year when they couldn’t…
After months of speculation, Matthew McConaughey revealed last month that a run for the Texas governorship was something he was “giving consideration.” This wouldn’t be the first time the Academy Award-winning actor has hinted at political aspirations, but his recent comments inspired an onslaught of that routine response many performers…
Are movie theaters back? Well, maybe. The pandemic may have given Dallas audiences more time than ever to sit around and rewatch their favorite movies at home, but it’s no secret that everyone’s been itching to get back to the theater for a big-screen experience. With a wider rollout of…
Dallas actor Stephen Tobolowsky is perhaps best known for his role as Ned Ryerson, the earnest childhood friend of Bill Murray’s grumpy newscaster Phil Connors in the comedy classic Groundhog Day. You know, the guy who famously said “Phil? Phil Connors? I thought that was you!” countless times in the movie…

Six Flags has never been a stranger to controversy. Arlington’s Six Flags Over Texas, the chain’s first park, came under fire in 2017 following the death of a Charlottesville, Virginia, protester by a white nationalist. The amusement park was widely criticized for continuing to fly a Confederate flag on park…
Even in the era of social media and streaming, there’s nothing in the digital world that can match the authenticity of live comedy. Watching a comedian risk losing his or her reputation and dignity on a set is a thrilling feeling, and the buzz of seeing a great routine is…
Perhaps it was inevitable that Ethan Hawke would have to eat his words. “I went to see Logan cause everyone was like, ‘This is a great movie,’” he told The Film Stage back in 2018. “I was like, ‘Really? No, this is a fine superhero movie.’ There’s a difference, but…
This weekend, Denzel Washington and Rami Malek will be combining their wits as they hunt down a serial killer (Jared Leto) in the new HBO Max thriller The Little Things. Hollywood has often been attracted to the allure of serial killers, as villains with even the slightest bit of plausibility…
