By Ethan Anderton/April 4, 2016 2:30 pm EST Over the past few years, there have been a couple different big screen projects with ties to the Looney Tunes in development.

Spike Jonze Wants You To Check Out ‘The Fighter’ By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 1, 2010 12:00 pm EST I’m surprised that there isn’t more buzz right now for David O Russell’s The Fighter. Lets face it, the first movie trailer for the film wasn’t exciting, and the poster is kinda “blah”-looking. I had a chance to screen the film at a sneak preview at AFI Fest (you can watch our video reaction here)....

The Biggest Changes ‘It’ Makes From Stephen King’s Classic Novel By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 8, 2017 11:00 am EST It is set to terrify audiences everywhere this weekend as the latest Stephen King adaptation hits theaters today. It’s a surprisingly excellent studio horror film, filled with thrills and chills and constructed with care.

This Week In Trailers: White Rabbit, Matangi/Maya/M.I.A., The Foundation Of Criminal Excellence, All The Creatures, Sunset By Christopher Stipp/Aug. 12, 2018 9:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

First up, Carnival Cruise Line is hosting a cruise themed around the Saw movies. That’s not a misspelling or a mistake. Yes, the violent, brutal horror film series that invented the phrase “torture porn” is the theme of a cruise that’ll leave New York City in August, travel around Canada and along the way, have Saw themed parties, screenings, events, signings and much more....

‘Judge Dredd’ Heading To Television In A New Live-Action Series By Jacob Hall/May 10, 2017 12:00 pm EST This is the week that officially killed all of those sequels the internet has been demanding. With Hellboy 3 officially thrown to the wayside in favor of an R-rated reboot, it only makes sense that the Dredd sequel is also looking officially dead and buried. However, fans of the character may take comfort in knowing that the hard-ass future cop with that face-obscuring helmet and a thirst for justice/violence is only abandoning the big screen because he’s heading to the small screen....

‘The Five-Year Engagement’ Review - Jason Segel And Emily Blunt Sell A Sweet But Uneven Comedy By Angie Han/April 30, 2012 6:00 am EST How you feel about Nicholas Stoller’s The Five-Year Engagement may depend on what you’re expecting. Those looking for another instant classic from producer Judd Apatow and his circle will likely be disappointed, as the new comedy proves too inconsistent to hold up against the likes of The 40-Year-Old Virgin or even Stoller’s own Forgetting Sarah Marshall....
