This year’s schedule is very different from years past. Television has an increased presence, while it seems more movie studios have decided to forgo the convention.

Alamo Drafthouse Will No Longer Allow Late Arrivals At Film Showings By Germain Lussier/Nov. 6, 2012 2:41 pm EST The more often you go the movies, the more snobby you become. Everything has to be just right: the seat, the picture, the sound, everything just a certain way so you can enjoy the film. What this (admittedly selfish) mindset also does is create a long list of pet peeves: other people talking during a movie; checking their phones; or arriving late and asking if those middle seats you got by showing up 30 minutes early are open....

Clint Howard Cast In ‘Han Solo’; Here Are All Of The Times Clint Appeared In Ron’s Movies By Ben Pearson/Aug. 3, 2017 12:00 pm EST Clint Howard is one of those actors who managed to simultaneously make it as a “hey, it’s that guy!” character actor while having a uniquely distinct physical look to him.

Okay, So This Looks Bad Before we dive into what may actually be going on, let’s run through a quick recap of what appears to be going on. Just as Littlefinger intended, Arya Stark found the years-old message from Sansa Stark, imploring then-alive Robb Stark to bend the knee to then-alive King Joffrey in the wake of then-alive Eddard Stark’s “treason.” And just as Littlefinger intended, this seemed to drive a wedge between the two sisters....

Millar originally told CBM in 2011: Basically, my kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn has bought the movie rights to Superior from me and Leinil Yu and Leinil and I am also teaming up with the MS Society, who want to use the character as it’s the first superhero with multiple sclerosis....

Full Cast And Crew Revealed For Disney’s Musical Adaptation ‘Into The Woods’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 16, 2013 11:30 am EST When most people think of Walt Disney films, they think of two genres: the animated musical and the live-action family film. Beauty and the Beast or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Snow White or Swiss Family Robinson. What’s slightly more rare of late is a blend of the two, the live-action musical, as we’ve seen in films like Mary Poppins, Newsies, Enchanted or The Muppets....

Superhero Bits: Hugh Jackman, Spider-Man 3, The Dark Knight Rises, Thor 2, Iron Man 3 By Germain Lussier/Sept. 28, 2011 11:00 am EST What do the toys for The Avengers look like? When can New Yorkers be extras in The Dark Knight Rises? Will the new DC comics have any link to Christopher Nolan’s film? What is Hugh Jackman saying about The Wolverine and the X-Men sequels?

The Curious Connections Between ‘Star Wars’ And The James Bond Series By Bryan Young/Aug. 21, 2018 9:00 am EST (Welcome to The Movies That Made Star Wars, a series where we explore the films that inspired (or help us better understand) George Lucas’s iconic universe. In this edition:the James Bond films) Ever since the 1962 release of Dr. No, James Bond has occupied a place in the hearts of cinema-goers.

TIFF Review: ‘Gravity’ Soars Above The Rest By Laremy Legel/Sept. 8, 2013 11:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Director Alfonso Cuarón is finally back, and he’s showing us truly amazing things. Gravity is a technical marvel, an optical treat of the highest order. However, it can also lay claim to being one hell of a narrative, combining genius-level visuals with a taut script; the end result coming together as something really special....

Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show Red Band Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 13, 2007 12:13 am EST I’m not a huge fan of comedy tour movies. I’d much rather watch an hour long uncensored comedy set on HBO. Everyone in a while I’ll stumble into Bill Cosby’s Himself on cable – I’ve watched that thing about 100 times and it never gets old. Anyway, Vince Vaughn produced and stars in a new comedy tour documentary called Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland....
