Mitch Hurwitz Says ‘Arrested Development’ Season 5 Still Has A Chance Of Existing Someday By Jacob Hall/May 20, 2016 12:30 pm EST Arrested Development season 4 arrived on Netflix nearly three years ago and the jury is still out on whether or not the return of the Bluth family was a triumph, a debacle, or something in-between. Fans remain divided and bringing up a potential fifth season of the beloved show is sure to inspire a lively debate in the right crowd....

Review: ‘The Big Short’ Is About More Than The Financial Crisis [AFI Fest] By Jack Giroux/Nov. 13, 2015 7:00 am EST There is a real anger and sadness to The Big Short, and as wild and as funny as the movie is, the humor never makes light of or sugarcoats the 2008 financial crisis. The humor, if anything, heightens the drama and the pain we see in co-writer/director Adam McKay’s (Step Brothers) uproarious dramedy....

It takes a certain amount of nerve to drop one of Marvel’s strangest characters into a movie already packed with niche C-listers, so you have to admire director James Gunn’s choice to end his big, weird movie with a big, weird character....

Star Wars Bits: ‘Star Wars 1313’ Game Would Have Starred Boba Fett; Plus ILM Layoffs And ‘Clone Wars’ By Germain Lussier/April 5, 2013 5:00 pm EST When Disney shut down the Lucasfilm gaming division Lucasarts, the fans wondered about the fate of Star Wars 1313. The third person game, for which we’d seen gorgeous trailers, has been indefinitely postponed thanks to the corporate decision. If that wasn’t bad enough, turns out that in recent months it had been altered to star not a random character, but Boba Fett himself....

As a new month and new year arrive in a few weeks, Netflix will clean house, sweeping several films into the gutter like so much wasted New Year’s Eve confetti. So if you’ve been letting the following films sit around in your queue unwatched, now would be a good time to finally give them a watch....

This Week In Trailers: Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist And Rebel, The Wildest Dream: Conquest Of Everest, The Nature Of Existence, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai By Christopher Stipp/June 11, 2010 3:00 pm EST Ok, the art for this movie makes it look like this is a cop film made with porno stars. The thick mustaches, the open mouths that seem to want to do more than just breathe out of them, it’s a little ridiculous....

Why ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ Director Reed Morano Avoided That Song In The Movie & More [Interview] By Fred Topel/Sept. 21, 2018 1:00 pm EST I Think We’re Alone Now has been in limited release since last weekend, but the rest of the country will get a chance in the coming weeks as the film expands to more theaters.

/Answers: Your Favorite Movie To Watch On Halloween By /Film Staff/Oct. 31, 2017 1:30 pm EST Every week in /Answers, we attempt to answer a new pop culture-related question. With this week’s edition arriving on October 31, today we’re asking “What is your favorite movie to watch on Halloween?” Ben Pearson: Trick ‘R’ Treat In the hands of a lesser writer/director, Trick ‘r Treat might be slightly off-putting. After all, it seems practically engineered to enter into your annual Halloween movie rotation, and sometimes a goal like that can come off as desperate or presumptuous....

/Film Set Interview: ‘The Avengers’ Producer Kevin Feige By Peter Sciretta/April 2, 2012 11:00 am EST Read our other interviews from The Avengers set: And you know, the great news is Joss was overseeing the people that were doing the boards and the pre viz, but he wasn’t drawing them, he was writing all those words and all those interactions and all of that great dialogue.

‘Power Rangers’ Review: A Mighty Morphin Good Time At The Movies By Karen Han/March 25, 2017 1:00 am EST There’s a scene in the new Power Rangers movie in which Jason, the Red Ranger (Dacre Montgomery), tells one of his fellow Rangers that what matters isn’t the past, but what one works to make the future. It’s a perfectly admirable, earnest sort of sentiment — it’s just one that feels a little off, too, given that the past he’s referring to involves semi-revenge porn....

‘The Interview’ Set Interview: James Franco, Seth Rogen And Evan Goldberg By Germain Lussier/Oct. 3, 2014 2:00 pm EST On the set of The Interview, talking to James Franco, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg really isn’t much of an interview. It’s more like three really good friends joking around with journalists trying to direct the conversation. The trio are incredibly familiar with each other. They’ve worked together on Pineapple Express, This Is the End, and now the December 25th release The Interview....
