With ‘Ant-Man,’ Marvel Goes Small, Simple And Sincere By Siddhant Adlakha/April 17, 2018 8:00 am EST (Welcome to Road to Infinity War, a new series where we revisit the first 18 movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and ask “How did we get here?” In this edition: Ant-Man is sometimes muddled, but charm and style go a long way.) While “superhero fatigue” is by no means a cultural phenomenon – Avengers: Infinity War could topple Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the opening weekend box office – it’s most certainly experienced on an individual basis....

‘Game Of Thrones’ – The 10 Most Important Moments In ‘Oathbreaker’ By Jacob Hall/May 9, 2016 9:30 am EST Game of Thrones’ sixth season has been moving forward with the force and speed of a runaway freight train. HBO’s flagship series, traditionally a lumbering and patient affair, has been burning story like gasoline and it has been all the better for it. “Oathbreaker,” the third episode of the season, kept the fire bright....

‘The Mummy’ Clips: Tom Cruise Has Trouble With Guns, Birds, Planes & Sofia Boutella By Ethan Anderton/June 4, 2017 12:00 pm EST The blockbuster summer season just keeps marching forward. Now that Wonder Woman has hit theaters and exceeded even the higher opening weekend box office predictions, it’s time to look forward to what’s coming next weekend. The big release for the weekend of June 9 will be The Mummy, the horror action adventure combo that is meant to kick off Universal’s ambitious plan to create the Dark Universe that they made such a big deal about officially announcing recently....

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Was 80% Improvised; Clancy Brown Is Voicing A Villain By Ben Pearson/July 24, 2017 1:30 pm EST After two Thor films that rank pretty low on my personal list of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, I never imagined I’d be excited to see Thor: Ragnarok. But hiring director Taika Waititi to put a comedic spin on these characters seems to have paid off in a big way for Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios, and based on the Comic-Con trailer that was released this past Saturday, Waititi has put together a colorful, unexpected sequel that should turn a lot of heads when it comes out later this year....

‘Westworld’ Bits: Backstories, Gaming, Fan Theories, Vincenzo Natali, And More By Jack Giroux/Oct. 25, 2016 6:00 am EST In today’s edition of Westworld Bits: Actor Jimmi Simpson discusses William’s backstory. Is The Man in Black a terrible gamer? Director Vincenzo Natali (Splice) talks about making the most recent episode of Westworld. Westworld Tech cake. And more. William is a host with more sympathy than the average Westworld attendee. The character is clearly at a crossroads in his life, which I imagine we’ll learn more about soon, but so far in the process of discovering who he is, he’s been pretty decent, especially towards Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood)....

‘Westworld’ Theories: Eight Mind-Blowing Possibilities By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 6, 2016 10:15 am EST Westworld had a record-setting debut on HBO, and so far we’re loving it. But it wouldn’t be a Bad Robot production if it did cause us to ask all sorts of questions, speculate at the possibilities and obsess over the many Westworld theories floating around the internet. Westworld Theories And that’s part of the fun of it all, right?...

9 Truly Bizarre Things You Should Know About ‘The Smurfs’ By Alex Riviello/April 7, 2017 8:00 am EST Smurfs: The Lost Village opens today and while it’s the third Smurfs film from Sony Pictures, it’s essentially a reboot completely unrelated to their previous films. Unlike other franchises Sony has decided to reboot before their time, it actually makes sense for this series, as the Smurfs have been around forever and have done pretty much everything....

Best Stories Of The Week: King Kong, Spectre, Krampus, Road House And More By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 11, 2015 4:30 pm EST Another week has passed, and it’s time for another round-up of the Best Stories of the Week.

IFC Launches New Genre Label, IFC Midnight By Russ Fischer/May 11, 2010 1:26 pm EST For the past year IFC has bought up a lot of left-field, genre and oddball movies to distribute in the States. It started with Antichrist — not such a weird buy, given the prestige status of Lars von Trier — and then went to Valhalla Rising, Human Centipede (First Sequence) and Enter the Void, among many others....

Interview: Harmony Korine On Trash Humpers, Manhattan’s Appetite For Double Down Sandwiches, And The Time He Met Shaquille O’Neal By Hunter Stephenson/May 1, 2010 10:59 am EST Summer is fast approaching and Harmony Korine—the polarizing Nashville-based filmmaker irresponsible for directing Gummo and scribing Kids—has returned to combat the season’s flabbier atrocities. For everyone’s information, Korine believes his latest movie, Trash Humpers, should not be referred to in the press or elsewhere as “a movie” or “a film....

Is This ‘John Wick: Chapter 3’ Synopsis Legit? Here’s What We Know About The Sequel By Ben Pearson/April 26, 2018 10:30 am EST We’re big fans of the John Wick films around these parts, and after last year’s jaw-dropping John Wick: Chapter 2, we’re excited to see where the franchise goes from here. Speaking of which: a new John Wick 3 synopsis from CinemaCon is making the rounds online, but it seems to conflict with information we’ve previously learned about the upcoming sequel....

Michael Myers Shows Off His New Mask In ‘Halloween’ Poster By Chris Evangelista/April 19, 2018 12:00 pm EST The first official Halloween poster has arrived, giving us our first look at the modern day Michael Myers in David Gordon Green’s new reboot/sequel. Feast your eyes on The Shape below. To heck with Avengers: Infinity War – my most anticipated film of 2018 is David Gordon Green’s Halloween. Green and co-writer Danny McBride are resurrecting Michael Myers for a brand new film that essentially ignores all the sequels and serves as a follow-up to John Carpenter’s 1978 original....

Movie Review: Bolt By David Chen/Nov. 21, 2008 6:26 am EST I once had a conversation with my college film professor about the movie Monsters, Inc. Like all Pixar films, Monsters was designed to be viewed by kids, yet was also a rewarding tale for adults. But one part of the film always stuck out in my mind: The moment when, in the middle of a wintry wasteland, the monster Sully turns his back on fellow monster Mike to pursue Boo, the human toddler that has become Sully’s ward....

Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Perfect KO By Adam Quigley/Aug. 13, 2010 1:55 am EST In 15 to 20 years from now, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World will be seen as the defining movie of its respective generation, and if it isn’t, it should be. No movie has better encapsulated and satirized the interests and temperaments of contemporary youth, and no future movie is likely to surpass it....

Page 2: Bill Murray, Nightmare Before Christmas, Doctor Who, Andy Serkis, Star Wars, Will Ferrell, Transformers, Jurassic Park, Mission Impossible, Jim Henson, Game Of Thrones, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 8, 2011 8:00 am EST What is Page 2? Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 46 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more....
