The Biggest Snubs And Surprises Of The 2017 Oscar Nominations By Jacob Hall/Jan. 24, 2017 8:00 am EST The nominees for the 89th Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning and, as usual, there were plenty of moments that made you want to shout “Come on!” And to be fair, there were also plenty of moments where you smirked and announced to the empty room “Well, at least they got that one right....
The Olsen Twins Will Not Be Part Of ‘Fuller House’ By Ethan Anderton/May 24, 2015 9:27 am EST Back in April, a big chunk of 90s nostalgia was announced to be revived when we learned Netflix had ordered Fuller House, a television series sequel to the hit sitcom Full House. Pretty much everyone from the original series was confirmed to come back in some capacity for this new series, with the exception of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen....

Few directors have ascended to the upper echelons of Hollywood talent as quickly as Sam Mendes. While Mendes was no slouch when he first got into the film business (he had directed several critically acclaimed stage plays, many featuring movie actors), he became one of the few directors to earn an Oscar for a directorial debut, for his work in 1999’s American Beauty....
This Week In Trailers: InRealLife, This Is Martin Bonner, Herb & Dorothy 50x50, Wax Trax! Records: The Documentary By Christopher Stipp/Aug. 17, 2013 2:00 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?...

‘Jurassic World 2’ Will Be A Parable For Animal Abuse By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 11, 2016 9:00 am EST We won’t see Jurassic World 2 hit theaters until the summer of 2018, but with production slated to start sometime next year, little tidbits about the sequel are starting to surface here and there.

‘Kong: Skull Island’ Trailer: The King Has Returned By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 16, 2016 8:46 pm EST Following a revival of Godzilla back in 2014, another one of most menacing monsters of the movies is returning to theaters. Kong: Skull Island brings back the King of the Apes known as King Kong. And while we know that this new take on Kong will have ties to the same world that the new Godzilla exists in, eventually leading to a head-to-head battle between the two monsters in 2020, first we must have a proper introduction to the giant ape....
‘Satan’s Slaves’ Review: The Scariest Film Of 2018 You Haven’t Heard Of Yet [What The Fest?! 2018] By Matt Donato/April 1, 2018 12:00 pm EST Satan’s Slaves reminds me of Babak Anvari’s Under The Shadow – two piss-yourself-scary stories so deeply rooted in overseas culture and indigenous circumstance. Joko Anwar’s Indonesian monstrosity does not mess around, readers. Within minutes you’ll be hit with the first of many paranormal punches that land like Manny Pacquiao on a speed bag, one after the other with impressive stamina....

We’re intrigued by the casting and some of the ideas teased in these spots, but the ultimate execution is a huge question mark. Well, Thursday, two pieces of news broke which are both on the encouraging side....

‘Wonder Woman’ Interview: Patty Jenkins Aims For Richard Donner’s ‘Superman’ Meets ‘Casablanca’ By Ethan Anderton/March 7, 2017 8:00 am EST Yesterday, we talked about the 16 minutes of Wonder Woman that Warner Bros. Pictures and director Patty Jenkins showed us at their post-production facility in London, not to mention details on the story presentation that laid out the events of the first act of the movie for us. Now we get to dive deeper into all the work that Jenkins has poured into this movie, which has been something she had pursued on and off for 10 years before she finally ended up behind the camera....
8 Terrifying Movies That Prove You Should Stay Off The Internet Forever By Rob Hunter/Sept. 21, 2017 7:00 am EST This coming weekend sees the release of a new horror movie hoping to scare audiences out of a few bucks, and we’re hoping it delivers despite seeming destined to open lower than a certain other horror movie heading into its third weekend. I’m looking at you, Stephen King’s IT. If nothing else, Friend Request stands apart from the old-fashioned thrills of killer clowns and pervy dads by hitching its jump scare-filled wagon to something far trendier....
9 Current Movie And Television Trends I Hate By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 8, 2014 10:31 pm EST I’m a relatively positive guy. I love geeking out over the movies and television shows I really respond to, and I try to bring that enthusiasm to the site. But you can’t love everything. Here are 9 current movie trends (and also television trends) that I’m starting to hate. Some of these things are Hollywood buzzwords that are current to this moment....
Charles Barkley Trains Roaches To Use Guns, Threatens To End It All On ‘Saturday Night Live’ By Ethan Anderton/March 4, 2018 11:00 am EST Whenever Saturday Night Live brings in an athlete to host the late night sketch comedy series, the quality of the show can be hit or miss. Some athletes just don’t have the charisma or the skill to do live comedy (or acting in general), but then there are those like Michael Jordan and Peyton Manning who really bring the laughs....
David Ayer Takes Responsibility For ‘Suicide Squad’: “This Is My Cut” By Angie Han/Aug. 5, 2016 11:00 am EST After months of months of hype, Suicide Squad finally hits theaters this weekend… and so far, the buzz has not been great. Sure, it’s got its moments, and yes, it’s on track for a record-breaking opening weekend. But it’s such a mess that it came as little surprise when reports trickled out about the film’s behind-the-scenes woes, including a claim that the studio interfered with director David Ayer’s more somber vision....
David’s Kick-Ass Movie Review By David Chen/April 16, 2010 1:11 pm EST Kick-Ass is the logical culmination of the last decade of popular American cinema, displaying many of the trends we’ve seen in recent memory and upping them to their nth degree. Consider that this film includes the following: the manifestation of the superhero origin story in its most extreme form; the over-stylization of balletic violence that has become a hallmark of many action films; the continued upswing of Nicolas Cage’s career, begun with Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and now crystallized in his preposterous/hilarious performance in this film; the lionization of Chloe Grace Moretz, not only as an action star for this generation (whether you find that disturbing or not), but as an actress to be taken seriously....
Director Lynne Ramsay Gets Real Sweat And Grime In ‘You Were Never Really Here’ [Interview] By Jack Giroux/April 28, 2018 11:00 am EST You know you’re not going to see an average genre piece from writer-director Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin). With her new Joaquin Pheonix-led movie, You Were Never Really Here, Ramsay has made an unflinching thriller that follows its own rules instead of conventions. Based on Jonathan Aames’ (Bored to Death) novel, Ramsay uses a few familiar genre elements to tell a story that’s as much about PTSD as it is about an assassin searching for a kidnapped teen....
