‘John Wick 2’ Plot Details Promise More Of What You Already Love By Jacob Hall/Oct. 5, 2015 10:30 am EST John Wick, with all of its head-shooting, puppy-avenging, Keanu-growling madness, is one of the best action movies ever made. And you know what? I’ll say it. We’re all thinking it. It’s one of the best movies ever made. Screw you, Michelangelo Antonioni! This is real art right here. Humorous hyperbole (or is it?...
‘Pacific Rim Uprising’: John Boyega Is The Sci-Fi Icon We Need [NYCC 2017] By Candice Frederick/Oct. 7, 2017 2:00 pm EST After starring in one of the biggest blockbusters ever, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and headlining one of the most eagerly anticipated films of 2018, Pacific Rim Uprising, you’d think John Boyega would be comfortable with idea of being called a sci-fi icon by now. But as evidenced during the latter sci-fi sequel’s panel at New York Comic-Con on Friday, he still remains remarkably humble....
‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Editor Pietro Scalia On The Train Robbery Sequence And Why Chewie Is An Editor’s Dream [Interview] By Jack Giroux/June 2, 2018 10:00 am EST Pietro Scalia’s fingerprints are all over many, many great films. The Academy-award winning editor’s work on JFK is nothing short of masterful, and the same goes for his several collaborations with Ridley Scott. Throughout his career, Scalia has shown a wide range – he has cut together epic period pieces, documentaries, comic book movies, and dramas like Good Will Hunting....
‘Star Trek Beyond’ Spoiler Review: This Is The Most Positive Blockbuster Of 2016 By Jacob Hall/July 25, 2016 9:00 am EST In a summer seemingly defined by how disappointing so many movies have been, Star Trek Beyond is an oasis. It’s crowd-pleaser that has something on its mind, a sequel that’s not painfully beholden to massive franchise plans, and a story about the power of positivity overcoming darkness. In short, it’s a unique release for 2016…and the right antidote for 2016....
‘The Dark Tower’: Matthew McConaughey On His Villain And How Stephen King Helped Shape The Screenplay By Jacob Hall/July 14, 2016 1:30 pm EST Earlier today, we got our first official look at Nikolaj Arcel’s The Dark Tower, the adaptation/remix of Stephen King’s beloved horror/fantasy/western/science fiction series that has become a cornerstone of modern genre fiction. While the first wave of news rode upon a series of great quotes from star Idris Elba and a very evocative description of one of the film’s key sets, the second wave is all about Matthew McConaughey’s black-clad villain and how this very tricky, dense series is making the transition to film....
A Horror Newbie Watches ‘Halloween’ For The First Time By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 31, 2017 8:00 am EST (Welcome to The Final Girl, a regular feature from someone who has steered clear of horror and is ready to finally embrace the genre that goes bump in the night. Next on the list: John Carpenter’s 1978 seminal slasher film, Halloween.) Ah, Halloween, my old nemesis. We meet again. If you remember from my first column, the 2007 remake of Halloween is the bane of my relationship with horror movies — a source of teenhood trauma that forever put me off slasher films…and horror remakes directed by Rob Zombie....
Does Christopher Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’ Have Major Sound Mix Issues? By Germain Lussier/Nov. 5, 2014 6:35 pm EST Christopher Nolan controls every single aspect of his movies from preproduction through publicity. He wants every single thing about his film to be handled just right, from something as important as the IMAX film capture all the way through to who writes about the movie before release. Recently, multiple reports said he personally went to numerous theaters that would be screening his latest film, Interstellar, to double- and triple-check the sound and picture quality....
Interview: ‘Stranger Things’ Producers On Influences, Marketing, The Possibility Of Future Seasons And More By Jack Giroux/July 21, 2016 7:00 am EST Levy directed chapter three (“Holly, Jolly”) and four (“The Body”) of Stranger Things. When I spoke with the director and Cohen, I hadn’t seen all of season one yet, so we mainly covered their collaboration with the Duffer brothers and Netflix, the show’s references, and what to expect from the future of Stranger Things....
Is It A Close Encounters Sequel? The website URL WeAreStillNotAlone.com is leading some fans to believe that this might be a teaser announcement for a Close Encounters sequel or remake. Fans are asking, why is it we are “STILL” not alone if this isn’t something new like a remake or sequel? Also, the teaser was posted by Sony Pictures, not Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, so this is not just a new 40th-anniversary collector’s edition blu-ray or VOD release of the film....
New ‘Frozen’ Broadway Musical Images Let It Go By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 19, 2017 6:30 am EST Frozen is the latest Disney property to take to the Broadway stage, and Disney has unleashed an avalanche of new images to chill you to your bones (Am I doing this right? Snow!). Check out the new Frozen Broadway musical images below! Broadway’s take on Frozen will begin performances at the St. James Theatre in February of 2018, but you don’t have to wait until then to get a new glimpse of the human counterparts to Disney’s animated hit as new images have been released....
Moonlight Zodiac Streaming on Netflix June 1 David Fincher’s 2007 Zodiac was mostly ignored upon release (it was beat at the box office by Wild Hogs, for crying out loud!), but it’s since gone on to become a highly regarded classic, and rightfully so. I’d even argue it’s one of the best films of the 21st century – an engrossing, scary, obsessive film about obsession. Jake Gyllenhaal is a cartoonist with the San Francisco Chronicle who takes it upon himself to sleuth out the elusive Zodiac Killer long after the murderer’s killing spree has come to an end....

Peter Mayhew Reveals His Original (And Very Different) ‘Star Wars’ Screenplay Pages By Jacob Hall/Feb. 18, 2016 1:00 pm EST The thing about writing is that most first drafts stink. You churn out that story, forcing it out of your brain through your fingertips, and then stare at the mess before you and wonder what went so horribly wrong. So you put it in the drawer for a little while. A few weeks....
Review: André Øvredal’s ‘The Autopsy Of Jane Doe’ Is Smart, Clever, And Truly Terrifying By Jacob Hall/Dec. 21, 2016 12:00 pm EST Note: With The Autopsy of Jane Doe out now, we’re re-running our review from Fantastic Fest. The horror genre is so often dominated by stupid characters doing stupid things, so it’s refreshing to watch a film like The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Here is a frightening story about two intelligent men whose talents for science and deduction break against a wall of undefinable supernatural power....
Superhero Bits: The Avengers, Spider-Man, Archie, Dark Knight Rises, Man Of Steel By Germain Lussier/Jan. 6, 2012 12:00 pm EST Want to see some rumored concept art of the Quinjet in The Avengers? What would the Justice League look like if they were in Japanimation? Still confused as to what happens in The Dark Knight Rises prologue? When did Archie Comics get so controversial? What do the Punisher and Star Wars have to do with each other?...

What does Jason Momoa think of the negative reviews of Batman v Superman? How much ass are the women of Civil War kicking in new featurette? Which characters do you think share a kiss in Civil War?...
This Week In Trailers: Strong!, FILMAGE: The Story Of DESCENDENTS/ALL, American Addict, Sketchy Andy, I Believe I Can Fly (Flight Of The Frenchies), Reveal The Path By Christopher Stipp/June 29, 2012 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: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...
Tina Fey And Amy Poehler To Host ‘Saturday Night Live’ Together In December, Chris Hemsworth Too By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 17, 2015 12:00 pm EST We’ve got one more episode of Saturday Night Live left in November with Matthew McConaughey taking the stage of Studio 8H as host (Elizabeth Banks just hosted this past weekend for a great episode), but it looks like December is going to send the sketch show out of 2015 with a bang....
