The term "viral video" is close to meaningless as studios and companies have latched on to the idea. They don't spread like keyboard cat, with interested parties passing them videos amongst themselves, they spread because a studio launches them into the world and tell everyone about it. World War Z is the latest movie to embrace this craze by suggesting that crisis in...
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire promo engine keeps on revving its way towards the film’s November 22, 2013 release date—today, we get a new poster for the film. And if you like your posters for Young Adult novel film adaptations to be so cheesy they represent gaudy romance paperback covers, well, we have got a poster for you.
James Franco seems to have no qualms about attacking a project, no matter what the content—whether it’s making a high-concept meta-study of the gay footage excised from William Friedkin’s Cruising (Interior.Leather Bar), playing a spring rapper/gangster (Spring Breakers), or totally bombing at the Oscars. So it makes sense...
Hollywood believes in recycling, so it's no surprise that Gremlins, the surprise hit of 1984, is finally getting around to being remade. On the surface, there's no way this sounds like a good idea in any way, shape or form.
Pixar is more or less in the middle of their monstrous sequel wave that doesn't appear to be stopping at any point soon. While we're a month away from the release of the adorable-looking Monsters University, Pixar is already teasing us all about the next sequel that will be making its way into theaters within the next five years. The only problem is we have no idea which one that...
Ever since it was announced that Mark Webb had selected Paul Giamatti to portray goofy Spider-Man villain The Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we’ve had our doubts. Giamatti is an excellent actor, but… the Rhino? Especially after the underwhelming version of the Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man, the Rhino just seemed like a misstep.
Though Iron Man 3 still ruled the weekend, The Great Gatsby exceeded all expectations and made over $50 Million this weekend. The obvious joke would be to suggest that a lot of book reports must be due for the end of the school year. Yeah, that's the obvious joke.
The latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby retains most of the story generations have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, Baz Luhrmann's gaudy style and fast cuts are too distracting. There's still some magic from the F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel there, but the director can't decide between being over-the-top or toned down.
The Equalizer just got a little more interesting. Chloe Moretz, one of today's most talented young actresses, has landed the female lead role in the Denzel Washington film. Also, AMC released the first official photo for the fourth season of The Walking Dead; and the characters from Monsters University have a special message for moms everywhere. All that and more...
Leonardo DiCaprio has been considered one of the big A-List stars for around twenty years now. He went from blue eyed teen heartthrob to serious actor who surprisingly has yet to win his own Oscar. His latest is the Baz Luhrmann movie interpretation of The Great Gatsby. DiCaprio has proven himself to be a fine actor who deserves all the praise he's received over the years, but he...
We may recognize Owen Wilson as that pouty lipped lead guy in a number of comedies, but he can hold his own when it pertains to the more dramatic roles. It appears that Wilson will be going the more dramatic route again with his next possible role in the new Paul Thomas Anderson flick Inherent Vice.
Infidelity never ends well in the movies. People get hurt, bunnies die and feminists get angry, not to mentioned that there's at least one inevitable death. With Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby being released today and all, and seeing as two of the two marriages mentioned in the work are affected by extramarital affairs, we decided to point out the Top Five Doomed Love Affairs In...
Because Joss Whedon has cautiously let the entire world know that X-Men and sometimes Avengers comic book characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be appearing in The Avengers 2 (rather, they’re in the current draft, at least), it’s now time to let the rampant speculation begin as to who will take the role of the two new Avengers—because simply waiting to find out when the...
The trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Children of Men, A Little Princess, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) newest and long-awaited/ long-delayed film, Gravity, is finally upon us. Given the rabidity of his fanbase (which is justified—I mean, have you seen the above films?), the wait will likely be...
Loosely based on a real life murder spree in the 1950's, Terrence Malick's Badlands is an classic low-budget film that treats its subject matter with poetic detachment and off-beat humor. On the surface, it can be viewed simply as a looses re-enactment of a real-life murderous couple. We won't find any deep insights on life here, but...
Disney's collaboration with Marvel continues to surprise fans as one new project after another pops up. The latest one isn't your regular run-of-the-mill Disney live-action superhero movie but an animated one. We're talking about Big Hero 6, Disney's first big animated feature that they've teamed up to do with Marvel Studios.
The second week of May has been a place where Warner Brothers has released their fumbles. The second weekend of May has launched Dark Shadows, Speed Racer, and Poseidon, though they did have some luck with 2004's Troy. Other studios have had more luck with the date (2009's Star...
Any Iron Man 3 fans out there curious as to what was contained in the bonus Iron Man 3 footage that is exclusive to Chinese screenings of the film? Well, don’t sweat trying to find grainy and shaky hand-held cell phone videos of the scenes, as Marvel is planning on compiling them and releasing the scenes as a short film prologue to Iron Man 3,...
Following the surprise of success of the Planet of the Apes loose prequel/ semi-reboot, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it was only natural that we’d be getting a sequel/ another sort-of prequel to the franchise. Hence, another mouthful title: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. And now, Fox has provided the world with a plot summery (hint: it...
Most people fantasize about starring in a Hollywood blockbuster. A choice few have had the chance to work in the industry from an early age. One good example is child actor Ty Simpkins. He was granted the opportunity of a lifetime, appearing opposite Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man 3. He plays Harley, a local boy who becomes Tony Stark's unlikely...
