Steven Spielberg Reviews, Interviews & More

We've fallen into the age where digital platforms, such as Amazon and Netflix, have turned into the new wave of go-to television. There are plenty of other companies that fit the profile that want to take part in the latest craze, but the newest one to join the ring may surprise you. What makes this news even cooler is what video game they're turning into a live-action series and who's one of...

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.

An Oscar winner, some television and some great catalog titles are the treats of the week. And those who love Star Trek are getting one of the better (though maligned) shows on Blu-ray. All in all a good week for fans.

Every once in awhile a story from the Bible will suddenly turn into one of the hottest projects in Hollywood. It's a little strange when it happens but it's true. This time around everybody's putting their focus on the Book of Exodus, particularly the story of Moses. But now there's two Exodus-centered pictures that are being developed at the same time...

It’s official—Jurassic Park 4 now has a director.  Who gets to follow up Steven Spielberg (1 and 2) and Joe Johnston (3)?  It’s Colin Trevorrow, who recently made his directorial debut with the Sundance hit Safety Not Guaranteed.

Slow week for Blu-rays and DVD, but one of the fall's most charming films is hitting the format, along with one of Steven Spielberg's masterpieces. All that and a few others in this week's picks.

One of the sad facts pertaining to any artist’s passing (aside from the tragic passing itself) is the knowledge that no more works of art or brilliance will ever come from their singular minds.   Such is the case with Stanley Kubrick, who, in the 1970s wrote an unfilmed script for a film about Napoleon,  which he asserted would be “the best movie ever made.”  The...

There were a fair number of high quality movies that were granted the chance to compete for this year's Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards, and as the Oscar race continued on for months, we saw a number of movies bob their way in and out of first place, but only one could be named the champion of them all.

A lot of folks who pay attention to the Academy Awards believed that there was one surefire winner for this year's Best Actor category. Now that's not to say that the other candidates weren't qualified enough to be in the running, but this guy is a masterful actor. But did Academy voters help make the predictions come true or not?

This weekend we're finally going to find out who will be awarded a shiny new Oscar for their outstanding work in Hollywood. You can cross your fingers, hoping your favorites will go home with the trophy under their arms but it's going to be a close race. The threat of an upset always looms overhead. Since we're all speculating over who could win on Sunday, I'll be running down my own list of...

This is going to sound like a total joke, but nothing about this laughable. It turns out that for the past 149 years, slavery was technically not illegal in the state of Mississippi, and it took Steven Spielberg's Lincoln to officially put an end to it. Better late than never, right?

After this past weekend the Best Picture Oscar race may be over. Ben Affleck's period thriller Argo has gained some more awards season momentum, catapulting the picture back in front. Many are speculating as to how much longer the second wave of Argo love may last, but we're here to investigate it this week on Oscar Scuttlebutt.

Say it ain’t so, Warner Bros., please, say it ain’t so.  Despite the fact that no film franchise seems to be immune from the modern remake machine, we go about our daily lives hoping that studios will exhibit a modicum of decency and leave some films and franchises untouched.  So, imagine our horror when news leaked that Warner Bros. is attempting to reboot the...

Yesterday, news dropped about what would likely be Christopher Nolan’s first film after wrapping up his Dark Knight Trilogy: Interstellar, a film about a group of scientists who travel across time and multiple dimensions via wormholes.  Interstellar has been floating around Hollywood since 2006, when Christopher’s brother and occasional...

For those Christopher Nolan fans who hoped the director would return to helming smaller-scale films like Following, Memento, and The Prestige after such monolithic epics as Inception and The Dark Knight Trilogy, well, looks like you’ll just have to keep waiting.  News broke today that Nolan is set to...

Though the award itself is not as important as the Oscar (in the scheme of things), when the Directors Guild of America puts out their nominations, it's a bellwether for the nominations (which will be coming  January 10), and now we have a pretty clear view of the field. The nominees are: Ben Affleck for Argo, Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark...

When focusing on the nation's greatest president during its darkest time, a filmmaker has to tread carefully. Their work can either blow you away or turn into a dull history lesson. Luckily, Lincoln is the former. Steven Spielberg delivers what's easily one of the best movies of the year.

Ever since it was announced that a new, George Lucas-free Star Wars trilogy was happening courtesy of a mega-sale with Disney, the internet has been virtually imploding with speculation as to who would direct Star Wars: Episode VII, the first film in the new sequel trilogy.  While Matthew Vaughn emerged as a rumored...

Let the groans commence. We know that there are at least a few of you who'll hate discovering the fact that they're re-releasing Jurassic Park, but this time it'll be shown off in stunning 3D. Yeah, we know that doesn't sound appealing but idea of seeing that darn T-Rex on the big screen in 3D makes the four-year-old me want to run out of the theater...

While the first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln biopic featured Daniel Day-Lewis in a haze of weepy and maudlin Oscar-bait shots, accompanied by appropriately portentous music, the new Lincoln trailer that aired last night during the first presidential debate of the 2012 race is pretty fiery.  In fact, it was far more impressive and inspiring than watching...
