Les Miserables Movie Review: Oscar-winner Tom Hooper directs this big screen adaptation of Victor Hugo's...
There are very few things to do on Christmas Day. You can always stay in and watch specials on TV while your family argues about your little sister's new bad-boy boyfriend. Or, if you're like us, you'll head straight to the movie theater. We've compiled a small list of solid movies that will be playing in theaters on Christmas Day. Keep in mind that these movies are for everyone (or just...
This has been a huge pivot point for movies in how they're made and distributed. 2012 was the year where the film industry turned its back on 35 millimeter film (which has been the standard for well over a century), with digital projection no longer just an option but the standard. At the same time a filmmaker like Paul Thomas Anderson shot a movie on 70mm - a format that hadn't been used...
2012, like any other year, had its host of good and bad films. But it's hard to recall a year that also had so many disappointing films as well (not quite the same as bad films--we'll get into that below). To the sheer, just awful dreck from such perennial underachievers as Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, and Tyler Perry, to the frankly shocking disappointments from filmmakers who could have...
There are some people who groan when thinking about Christmas. They believe it doesn't center on family, love and sometimes religion but the consumerism that can taint the holiday season. Then there's the little a-hole kids who think that all Christmas is is just a time to get the best presents, not caring about what lengths their parents go through in order to get what their little selfish...
The biggest risk New Line took with making the Lord of the Rings films was being committed to three movies. If the first film didn't work and no one liked it, what could be done? Well, that's a question they may be asking themselves with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as the first film doesn't work. Luckily for them they have the cushion...
Christmas is right around the corner, and that means it's time to think of your loved ones because nothing says "I love you" like a good, expensive gift. This year we're going to be your personal shoppers. Each week, from now until Christmas, we'll deliver the very best gift ideas for those movie and TV lovers in your life. In this first list, we focus on the film buffs, the cinephiles, the...
Thanksgiving is a special time of year were we bond with loved ones, share what we're grateful for and take part in publicly acceptable gluttony for one day. And nothing says family like an embarrassing and deeply personal fight. Movies know that, and have filmed a number of uncomfortable family confrontations. Here's our list of some of the funniest and worst Thanksgiving dinners to ever...
Barbara Broccoli was born into Bond as her father was “Cubby” Broccoli, also known as the man who brought 007 to the big screen. Working with her on the franchise as early as 1979 was Michael G. Wilson, who went on to write a number of the Bond film before settling into his role as one of the series’ producers. The two sat down to talk about their latest, and possibly best Bond endeavor,...
First we'd like to welcome you to Oscar Scuttlebutt, ScreenCrave's official weekly column for everything pertaining to the Academy Awards. Each week we'll be talking about a different movie or two and how it might fit into the race.
For the press conference, for Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig, and producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were on a victory lap after the huge opening the film has enjoyed internationally. You can tell when talent is feeling relaxed about their films, and it’s easy to see why with Skyfall. It’s a winner. Here’s our interview with the group.
The journey to make Cloud Atlas took directors Tom Tykwer, Andy and Lana Wachoswki four years from conception to filming, and a horrible struggle to get financing and distribution. Now that the picture’s here, it does a great honor to that work, as everyone is giving it their all. So much so that the reclusive Wachowskis sat down with the press for the first time in...
Skyfall offers the triumphant return of James Bond for his fiftieth anniversary. But Daniel Craig's Bond gets no pensioner's watch for his service, instead he gets one of the best entries in the franchise. Offering one of the greatest casts and the best cinematography in the franchise's long history, Skyfall is the event blockbuster you...
Hugo Weaving and Susan Sarandon were the veterans of Wachowski productions, which meant they had a leg up on their costars in Cloud Atlas. They at least had first hand experience of trusting their directors. We got a chance to speak to the two about their multiple roles in the film, and it was great. Check it out...
There is a communal spirit that runs through those who worked on Cloud Atlas. It seems odd for Tom Hanks – one of the biggest Hollywood stars working today – to go out selling this movie as hard as he can, but he has. And when joining our room, he and co-star (and fellow Oscar winner) Halle Berry started doodling. By the end of the interviews, it turned out all...
We may finally be in the month of October but the animated films that have been released so far made it feel like we were already in the spookiest part of the year. In August we got ParaNorman, September Hotel Transylvania and now the animated scary movie trifecta is completed with Tim Burton's Frankenweenie.
Though Genndy Tartakovsky may be a first time director, it’s not his first time behind the camera, as the man has spent nearly twenty years entertaining children with shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack. His feature film debut is Hotel Transylvania, and...
Check out the list of 2012 Emmy Award Winners!
The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards weren't perfect -- Hollywood ceremonies rarely are. Whether its the blatant snubs, harsh crowd or predictability, they're never up to snuff. Thankfully, Sunday's show offered a few bright spots. 2012 will forever be the year Homeland usurped Mad Men, and Jon...
"Bond. James Bond.". Though hard to believe, it has been five decades since Sean Connery first uttered that iconic line, and now we're on the verge of the release of the twenty-third official Bond film Skyfall starring Daniel Craig as our latest incarnation of Bond. But over the years, James Bond has been through many different itterations. Despite having its share of...
