'''''Movieline''''' was a [[Los Angeles]]–based film and entertainment magazine, launched in 1985 as a local magazine, which went national in 1989. Known for its cult status and popularity among film critics,<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Michael |last=Saba |title=''Movieline'' magazine reboots, relaunches online |magazine=[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]] |date=21 April 2009 |url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2009/04/movieline-magazine-reboots-relaunches.html |access-date=18 June 2009}}</ref> the magazine eventually was retooled and named '''''Movieline's Hollywood Life''''', with the website renamed as hollywoodlife.com and the name on the webpage shown as Hollywood Life.

[[Penske Media Corporation]] bought ''Movieline's Hollywood Life'' in September 2008 and, in 2009, closed the magazine. At that time, Penske continued the ''[[Hollywood Life]]'' website as a "new" standalone entity, while relaunching the original ''Movieline'' website. The ''Hollywood Life'' website continues today (2024), but the ''Movieline'' website closed down sometime in 2014. The last movie review credited to a ''Movieline'' critic on [[Metacritic]] was written on 27 July 2014, a retrospective review for the 2010 film ''[[The Killer Inside Me (2010 film)|The Killer Inside Me]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Movieline Publication Overview in Movies {{!}} Recently Added |website=[[Metacritic]] |url=https://www.metacritic.com/publication/movieline/?sort-options=date |access-date=2024-11-19}}</ref>

''Movieline'' launched a [[YouTube]] channel on 15 August 2012, which no one has taken down {{as of|2024|November|lc=y}}; at that date, it holds an assortment of reviews, TV series recaps, interviews, and movie trailers dating from 16 August 2012 (the official trailer for ''[[The Last Stand (2013 film)|The Last Stand]]'') through 12 September 2014 (a ''Movieline'' review of ''[[Dolphin Tale 2]]'').<ref>{{cite web |title=Movieline Channel |website=[[YouTube]] |date=2012-08-15 |quote=Channel details: Joined Aug 15, 2012 |url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSXooC1lHanEX2-FaA-kr7Q? |access-date=2024-11-19}}</ref>
