Movie Mixtape: 6 Movies To Watch With ‘Hereditary’ By Scott Beggs/June 7, 2018 2:00 pm EST Summer means seeing movies with the whole family. Something breezy. Something light. Something like Hereditary, which should give your family plenty to talk about at the ice cream parlor afterward. If anyone can still speak that is. Even in our exaggerated world, it’s incredibly rare for a movie to be dubbed “the scariest of the year” by so many different critics and fans, which is reason enough to get hyped for the Toni Collette-starring grief fest....

After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

Spoilers: What’s In The ‘Captain America: Civil War’ After Credits Scene? By Ethan Anderton/April 27, 2016 3:30 pm EST Just to cover our bases, we want you to know there are spoilers for Captain America: Civil War credits scenes after the jump. As any fan of Marvel Studios movies knows, it’s become customary for their comic book movies to have two credits scenes. One usually happens after a stylish end credits sequence, and another happens after all the rest of the credits have rolled....

The Fighter: Pitt Out; Wahlberg Worried; Location Scouting By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 12, 2008 9:32 pm EST It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a concrete update on Darren Aronofsky’s The Fighter, the real-life story of boxer “Irish” Micky Ward’s (to be played by Mark Wahlberg) unlikely road to the world lightweight title. His Rocky-like rise was guided by half-brother Dicky (Brad Pitt), a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO’d by drugs and crime....

The Filmography Of ‘Captain Marvel’ Directors Anna Boden And Ryan Fleck: An Introduction By Alex Riviello/April 20, 2017 8:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Yesterday, Marvel revealed that the directors of Captain Marvel are none other than Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, prompting people around the world to say… “Who?” This isn’t the first time that the media giant has gone from left field with their choices, hiring directors famous inside the world of independent film but not much farther than that....

There Will Be Blood Movie Reviews By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 29, 2007 9:51 pm EST Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood premiered as a super secret film at Fantastic Fest in Austin Texas this week, and most people are calling it the best movie of both the year and Anderson’s career. We weren’t there to see the film itself (you can check out a trailer at this link), so we bring you a gathering of some of the journalists and bloggers who were in attendance....

This Week In Trailers: Breakup At A Wedding, Tonight I Strike, Terms And Conditions May Apply, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, Pawn Shop Chronicles By Christopher Stipp/June 23, 2013 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?...

This Week In Trailers: The Postal Service - Everything Will Change, Evolution Of A Criminal, Heartbeat, Point And Shoot, Abuse Of Weakness By Christopher Stipp/Oct. 11, 2014 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.

Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Prep Included Going Undercover In High School [Interview] By Peter Sciretta/April 3, 2017 9:20 am EST When we sat down with Tom Holland on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming, it had only been three months since the world saw him as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. However, he was clearly already very comfortable in the role of Peter Parker. Holland talked about the extensive audition process that got him the part, the evolution of Homecoming’s script, how he went undercover at a high school in the Bronx to prepare for the movie, and how director Jon Watts put him and his co-stars through a coming of age film festival before shooting....

‘Captain America: Civil War’ Interview: Chris Evans & Sebastian Stan [Team Cap] By Ethan Anderton/March 7, 2016 12:00 pm EST Even though we’re getting a slew of characters from the Marvel cinematic universe in Captain America: Civil War, it’s important to remember that this is still a Captain America movie. And the last time we were in the hero’s own franchise, he was just getting ready to track down his best friend turned brainwashed villain Bucky Barnes, a....

‘Fargo’ Review: Who Made The Biggest Mistake In ‘The Lord Of No Mercy’? By Jack Giroux/May 25, 2017 7:00 am EST (Every week, we’re going to kick off a discussion about Fargo season 3 by answering one simple question: who f*cked up the most this week?) “The Lord of No Mercy” is a more than fitting title for this week’s episode of Fargo. Noah Hawley’s FX series got grimmer this week, paying off previous events in an unexpected and tragic fashion....

/Film Interview: Nicholas Stoller Talks ‘Neighbors,’ Comedy Politics And Marketing By Germain Lussier/May 8, 2014 12:00 pm EST That stamp comes from Hollywood experience that’s been incredibly eclectic so far, and is only getting more weird. Stoller first directed Forgetting Sarah Marshall, wrote and directed Get Him To The Greek, wrote The Muppets, wrote and directed The Five Year Engagement, wrote Muppets Most Wanted and, after Neighbors, he’s going into the world of animation with Captain Underpants and Storks....

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Box Office Tracking Suggests $140 Million Opening By Ben Pearson/May 31, 2018 10:00 am EST The first Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom box office tracking numbers have arrived, and it looks like director J.A. Bayona’s dino-centric sequel could make anywhere between $130-$150 million domestically on its opening weekend. That would put it well below Jurassic World’s huge $208 million opening weekend, but that movie is currently sitting at number four on the all-time biggest opening weekend list, and no one is expecting this sequel to outperform that 2015 monster hit....

‘Paranormal Activity 3’ Review - Huge On Scares, Light On Mythology By Germain Lussier/Oct. 21, 2011 7:00 pm EST NOTE: This review was originally published on September 29th 2011 from a secret screening that took place at Fantastic Fest, and is being republished for the wide release. The second half of Paranormal Activity 3 is the most consistently intense and frightening segment so far in the popular found footage series. Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (the guys behind Catfish) take their sweet time getting to it but once the scares begin, they don’t let up....

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’: The Bond Between General Leia And Poe Dameron Explained By Ben Pearson/Aug. 10, 2017 10:27 am EST In the Star Wars: The Last Jedi behind-the-scenes sizzle reel that debuted at this year’s D23 Expo, Carrie Fisher said the upcoming sequel is powerful because “it’s about family.” Sadly, her words have taken on a whole new meaning in the wake of her sudden death at the end of last year: it will now be about watching the final time this actress – who, for many fans, has felt like a part of their pop culture family for 30 years – steps into the role of Princess-turned-General Leia, one of the most iconic sci-fi heroes ever conceived....

10 Cloverfield Lane The Best Needledrop: “Tell Him” — The ExcitersWhy the Music is so Important: Music is used sparingly in 10 Cloverfield Lane — there are just three songs to complement the score and they’re all diegetic — and as such, it’s always to great effect (think No Country for Old Men). The songs all come from the jukebox Howard (John Goodman) keeps in the shelter that he’s built, and they’re all chillingly apt....
