Star Trek Returns To IMAX By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 1, 2009 9:00 pm EST It’s funny how we began this summer talking about Star Trek, and we’re still talking about Trek. Seems like most people will agree, the JJ Abrams reboot was the film of the summer. Paramount Pictures has decided to re-release Star Trek in 85 IMAX screenings beginning this Friday. A film usually plays in IMAX theatres for a month (four weeks), but Trek only had a two week run in most IMAX locations, as Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian replaced the film in nationwide giant screens soon after the May 8th release....

Superhero Bits: Justice League Blu-Ray & DVD Release Date, Teen Titans Go Movie Trailer & More By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 4, 2018 5:30 pm EST When will Justice League hit Blu-ray and DVD? What’s the one scene that Gal Gadot struggled to shoot in Wonder Woman? What’s the next move for fans to try to convince Warner Bros. to release Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League? When will we see the first Teen Titans Go!...

The 10 Most Beautiful Films Of 2010 By David Chen/Dec. 26, 2010 8:56 pm EST I hope everyone here had a happy holiday break! I had the chance to finally sit back, relax aimlessly for a few days, and take in some Netflix Watch Instantly films that I wouldn’t get to during the normal course of events. One such film was Sweetgrass, which guest Matt Singer discussed on a previous episode of the /Filmcast....

The New Holiday Classics: Christmas Movies For The Next Generation By Jacob Hall/Dec. 31, 2015 8:00 am EST Welcome to the end of 2015 and, more specifically, welcome to the end of the 2015 holiday season. Starting tomorrow, seasonal decorations will officially start to come down, Christmas songs will vanish from the radio, and the usual holiday movies will be packed away until next year. And maybe we should leave them packed for a little while....

The Next James Bond: 11 Actors Who Should Play 007 By Angie Han/May 20, 2016 1:00 pm EST We’ve yet to get confirmation that Daniel Craig is done with the James Bond franchise. But considering he spent the Spectre press tour calling his character a misogynist and declaring he’d rather slash his wrists than play Bond again — and considering recent rumors that he’s turned down $100 million to reprise the role for two more films — it seems a safe assumption that he won’t be sticking around for too much longer....

This Week In Trailers: Sole Survivor, The Wall, Room 8, The Forge, The Great Beauty (Le Grande Bellezza), The Source Family By Christopher Stipp/May 21, 2013 4:00 pm 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?...

Warner Bros. Hires ‘It’ And ‘The Conjuring’ Executive Producer As New DC Movies President By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 4, 2018 8:43 am EST Walter Hamada, the executive behind New Line’s hugely successful horror hits like It and the Conjuring series, has been hired by Warner Bros. to save the day at its DC Films division. Hamada has been named the DC Movies president, tasked with shepherding the embattled DC Extended Universe past the critical and commercial stumbles that climaxed with last year’s Justice League....

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 3’ Will Set-Up The Next 10 Years Of Marvel Movies By Ethan Anderton/April 27, 2017 12:00 pm EST With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 next week, James Gunn has already confirmed that he will return for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. After making that announcement, plenty of questions were thrown at the director about what we can expect from the next installment of the cosmic comic book franchise....

‘Man Of Steel’ Trailer: Super-Sized Scope, Action And Emotion From Zack Snyder By Germain Lussier/April 16, 2013 5:00 pm EST Here’s the big reveal of all the secrets Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. have hidden within the new Superman film, Man of Steel.

‘Oldboy’ Poster Artist Gets Screwed, Asks Spike Lee For Help By Russ Fischer/Nov. 27, 2013 3:29 pm EST Sometimes we’ll post concept art for posters, and sometimes that art gets pulled, or doesn’t get used in favor of more bland compositions. People always wonder why, and while the answer is often complicated we’re rarely flush with all the details. Here’s a case where we now know a lot, thanks to the artist in question....

‘Red State’ – Kevin Smith’s Religious Action Thriller Is Not What You Expect [Sundance Video Blog And Review] By Germain Lussier/Jan. 23, 2011 10:15 pm EST Kevin Smith’s new film Red State is more than just a departure from his trademark comedic style. It’s almost a complete 180. The bright colors and pop culture references have been replaced with blacks, reds and long monologues about scripture. Smith’s still very reliant on the spoken word – almost to a fault – but now he balances it with machine guns, blood and hand held camera moves....

‘Silicon Valley’ Review: The Most Awkward Moment In ‘Customer Service’ By Alex Riviello/May 29, 2017 1:00 pm EST If you think Richard Hendrix is awkward, imagine having sex with him. Actually, scratch that – don’t ever think about that. The descriptions are enough. Clanking teeth. “All elbows.” Someone who says “Gulp” out loud when a woman takes her bra off. Yeah, Richard gets laid in this episode and that’s enough awkward for anyone to take....

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ News Blast: J.J Abrams Addresses The “Where Is Luke Skywalker?” Question And More By Jacob Hall/Nov. 13, 2015 7:30 am EST We know for a fact that Mark Hamill is in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Somewhere. He’s credited on the poster. His voice is heard in the second trailer, quoting one of his original trilogy lines of dialogue. We’ve even seen one quick glimpse of him....

‘The Art Of Frankenweenie’ Gallery + Interview With Don Hahn [Comic-Con 2012] By Angie Han/July 12, 2012 3:00 pm EST No matter how packed the Comic-Con floor gets — and it does seem to get more overwhelming each year — there are always a few displays worth braving the crowds for. One of this year’s highlights is Disney’s The Art of Frankenweenie exhibit, which showcases the creativity and craft that went into making Tim Burton’s black-and-white stop-motion-animated feature....

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Goes Long; R-Rated ‘Batman’ Movie May Be In The Works By Jacob Hall/Oct. 13, 2015 9:00 am EST If any Batman movie demanded an R-rating, it would be an adaptation of The Killing Joke. If any X-Men movie deserved to run a little long, it would be the one that brings the team into conflict with Apocalypse. So that brings us to this news post, which exists to inform you that the upcoming animated version of The Killing Joke may get slapped with an R-rating and that X-Men: Apocalypse will probably be the longest X-Men movie yet....

10 Burning Questions For ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6 By Jacob Hall/April 22, 2016 11:00 am EST Game of Thrones season 6 premieres this Sunday and as far as I’m concerned, it’s the pop culture event of 2016. Sorry, everything else. Westeros and its collection of scoundrels and soldiers and politicians and kings trumps all. But with so much of this new season cloaked in mystery (critics aren’t even being sent screeners this year), I have more desperate, burning questions than ever before....

Barbara Crampton’s Legendary Horror Career Comes Full Circle In ‘Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich’ [Interview] By Fred Topel/Aug. 16, 2018 11:00 am EST Barbara Crampton was a favorite of ’80s horror fans with her lead roles in films like Re-Animator, From Beyond and Chopping Mall. She was also a mainstay on soap operas like The Young and the Restless, Guiding Light and The Bold and the Beautiful. Those fans were happy to see Crampton again in You’re Next, which led to a comeback and continued roles in films like We Are Still Here, Beyond the Gates and now Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich....

Box Office Tracking: Kumar “Higher” Than Baby Mama; Iron Man Shoots For $100M Next Weekend By Steve Mason/April 24, 2008 11:26 pm EST As of Monday night, I projected that Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo (Warner Bros) would win this final pre-Iron Man (Paramount) weekend, and I’m standing by that, although I don’t expect any new film or holdover to top $15M. Industry tracking suggests that the Harold & Kumar “legend” has grown exponentially since their first adventure in 2004 that delivered a modest $18....
