There is no disputing Darth Vader. He’s a pop culture icon. As a movie star, Harrison Ford is an icon, too – he also gave us Indiana Jones, the #2 hero on that list....

It’s great to see Karan Soni back as the taxi driver Dopinder, who accidentally stumbled on the path of Deadpool in the original movie. Originally, he was the driver who just happened to show up to take the Merc where he needed to go, but now it appears that he’s his regular driver....

/Film Interview: Sarah Polley Explains Secrets Of Her Brilliant Documentary ‘Stories We Tell’ By Germain Lussier/May 17, 2013 1:00 pm EST When I first saw Stories We Tell I was stunned. When I saw it again, I knew that reaction was warranted. And when I talked to the film’s director, everything was further illuminated. That director is Sarah Polley, who is probably best known for roles in films like Go and Dawn of the Dead....

The landmark action film turned acclaimed Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson into an action hero just as prolific than Schwarzenegger and Stallone in their day. Now, Morel is trying to do the same with Jennifer Garner....

‘The Road Movie’ Offers An Insane Journey Through Dangerous Russian Roads By Alex Riviello/Jan. 18, 2018 10:00 am EST The Road Movie is more of a YouTube compilation than a documentary.

It’s writer/director Sebastian Silva’s first attempt of many to underline the differences between this film’s black protagonist, played by Jason Mitchell (Mudbound, Straight Outta Compton), and the group of all-white bros he’s staying with during a weekend trip to the Catskills to celebrate one of their birthdays....

2009 Comic-Con: Sunday Schedule By Peter Sciretta/July 12, 2009 12:50 pm EST Sunday is the last day of the convention, and is usually at a time when things begin to get depressing, but the line-up for the day is extremely lackluster. It’s mostly kids television programs like Phineas & Ferb, Ni Hao, Kai-Lan and Wonder Pets!, SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents, The Penguins of Madagascar, and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. There are some programs for the teens/adults: Dr....

Director Doug Liman Talks Time Travel, Intergalactic Plot For Jumper 2 By Hunter Stephenson/Feb. 18, 2008 11:53 am EST Word of mouth on Jumper isn’t too positive, but the general consensus is that the premise still kinda rocks. Moreover, the image above is worth a hundred sci-fi strike-outs like Next, and hey, it’s not a remake. But the film, which opened to $38 million over the long weekend, has long been keyed in as the first in a so-trendy trilogy, and now director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Swingers) has discussed a sequel with Collider’s Frosty in a super-caffeinated interview....
