‘Fuller House’ Review Round-Up: Critics Tell Tanners To “Cut It Out” By Angie Han/Feb. 24, 2016 1:30 pm EST The original Full House was never really that good. It was cheesy and corny, relied heavily on catchphrases and cutesy kid mugging, and never touched any topic that couldn’t be wrapped up in 22 minutes. So what are we to make of Fuller House, its 21-years-later sequel premiering this week at Netflix?...
‘Groundhog Day’ Live Read Combines Revelation, Familiarity And Discovery By Germain Lussier/March 21, 2014 9:15 am EST 10,000 years. That’s how long Phil Connors was stuck in Groundhog Day. At least, that’s what writers Harold Ramis and Danny Rubin said in an early draft of the now classic 1993 film. That revelation was later cut out, along with a lot of other things, to make the film we know and love....
‘Jackie Brown’ At 20: Revisiting Quentin Tarantino’s Best And Most Underrated Movie By Jacob Knight/Dec. 25, 2017 11:00 am EST Pulp Fiction (‘94) changed the face of cinema forever. Though that’s become something of a clichéd declaration amongst cinephiles, the statement nonetheless contains an immeasurable volume of truth. While Quentin Tarantino’s first completed feature, Reservoir Dogs (‘92), underperformed in the United States – its foulmouthed, hyper-violent tendencies contributing to a notorious reputation and cult following on VHS – the Sundance darling was a gigantic hit in Europe, with London and Paris theatrical engagements running for months at a time....
‘La La Land’, ‘Lion’ And ‘Zootopia Rack Up More Awards From 2017 DGA, ASC And ASIFA Ceremonies By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 6, 2017 6:00 am EST The Academy Awards are just three weeks away, but until then we’re still hearing about various guilds handing out there awards honoring the films of 2016. Just last weekend the Producers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild handed out there awards, with La La Land and Hidden Figures taking home top honors in each ceremony....
‘Tag’ Review: A Fun Summer Comedy With A Somewhat Confused Tone By Karen Han/June 15, 2018 8:00 am EST Tag is built on a foundation that most will likely find familiar. A bunch of childhood friends, now in middle age, persist in playing a game of tag despite the growing distance — literal and metaphorical — between them. In other words, it’s another tale of arrested development. But it’s got a few distinct things going for it that set it apart from the rest of the crowd....
‘Westworld’ Review: ‘The Passenger’ Goes Beyond The Valley Beyond By Chris Evangelista/June 25, 2018 7:00 am EST Welcome to our weekly recaps of HBO’s Westworld. This Westworld review takes a look at the season 2 finale, “The Passenger”. Be warned: spoilers follow. The Passenger Westworld has already been renewed for another season, but the show as we know it is now officially dead. Any remnants of the original series were officially killed off with the game-changing, mind-blowing, kind-of-nonsensical season 2 finale, “The Passenger....
Before Seeing ‘Incredibles 2’, You Should Know About This Warning For Light-Sensitive Viewers By Ethan Anderton/June 18, 2018 6:30 am EST Incredibles 2 hit theaters this weekend, and in case you didn’t hear, it was quite the hit at the box office. The film broke the box office record for the biggest opening weekend in the history of animation with an estimated $180.2 million (the more precise figures will come this morning)....
Bill Murray Praises ‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot As Old And New Casts Unite On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ By Ethan Anderton/June 9, 2016 9:00 am EST Yesterday was Ghostbusters Day, and to celebrate the casts of both the 1984 classic and this year’s reboot came together on Jimmy Kimmel Live. For some reason, the posting of the videos on YouTube pretend the arrival of the original Ghostbusters cast during an interview with the new Ghostbusters cast was some kind of surprise, even though we found out about it in advance....
Cool Stuff: 8-Bit & Autographed ‘Scott Pilgrim’ Blu-Ray Covers By Germain Lussier/Nov. 25, 2010 11:00 am EST The Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Blu-ray has been out for over a week now and, chances are, you’ve already burnt it out. The visuals look insane, the sound blows out your speakers and the special features highlight how much love and care went into the project. It’s an awesome disc. But, now that you own it and have watched it all, what’s next?...
Disney Eyeing Reboots Of ‘Honey, I Shrunk The Kids,’ ‘Father Of The Bride’ And ‘The Parent Trap’ By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 21, 2018 1:30 pm EST Disney already has all hands on deck for live-action remakes of their classic animated movies. We’ve already seen the likes of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book hit theaters and Aladdin, Dumbo, Mulan, Pinocchio, and The Lion King are on the way. But it sounds like Disney is running out of animated movies they want to remake, because now they’re turning their attention to their live-action catalog for remake opportunities....
Ethan Anderton’s Top 10 Movies Of 2015 By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 7, 2016 8:00 am EST You know the drill. 2015 had plenty of great movies hit the big screen, and it was pretty difficult to whittle this list down to what you’ll see below. Surely your favorite movies are not the same as mine. My list is by no means meant to be definitive, especially since there are some movies I’ve heard great things about but just haven’t seen yet (my apologies to Carol and The Revenant)....
Germain’s Top 10 Movies Of 2011 By Germain Lussier/Dec. 30, 2011 12:00 pm EST In 2011, I saw more new movies than I ever have in the past. Previous years I’d flirted with roughly two per week but, this year, thanks to a full Sundance Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, Butt-Numb-A-Thon and other events like AFI Fest and the Los Angeles Film Festival, that number jumped up to 167. Several of those won’t be released until 2012 and others won’t get released at all, but it’s still a more than sufficient cross section of 2011 releases to adequately speak on the state of film in 2011 and give my top ten movies of the year....

Lets recap the story thus far: Universal greenlit the movie, and director Gore Verbinski stepped down from directing a possible fourth film in the Pirates of the Carribbean series....

By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 23, 2009 11:20 am EST Just when you thought you had learned the complete cast of the big screen adaptation of Marvel’s Thor, we learn one last surprise. Thor star Natalie Portman accidentally revealed to MTV that her “good friend” “amazing actress” Kat Dennings has been cast in Kenneth Branagh adaptation. Portman didn’t reveal what character Dennings would play in the film....
Movie Mixtape: 6 Movies To Watch After You See ‘Coco’ By Scott Beggs/Nov. 23, 2017 10:00 am EST (Welcome to Movie Mixtape, where we find cinematic relatives and seek out interesting connections between new releases and older movies that allow us to rethink and enjoy what’s in our theaters as well as the favorites on our shelf. In this edition: Coco.) You probably noticed on store shelves this Autumn that Dia de los Muertos (or Dia de Muertos if you want to be exact) is having a cultural moment beyond Mexico, so it’s my sincere hope that Pixar’s Coco will help the uninitiated gain an appreciation of the holiday focused on dead family members and ancestors....

Seth Rogen Is Hopeful For A ‘Sausage Party’ Sequel And More R-Rated Animated Movies By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 14, 2016 10:00 am EST This weekend brought the R-rated animated comedy Sausage Party to theaters, and the film will end the weekend having broken the box office record for the largest August opening ever for an animated film. It’s about time an original idea took one of the top spots at the box office, and Sausage Party is one of those insane, ridiculous comedies that you just love to see succeed....
Star Trek London Press Conference: Part Three By Brendon Connelly/April 23, 2009 8:00 am EST Here’s the third and final part of /Film’s Star Trek press conference coverage from Smoky Old Londinium. As I sat listening to JJ Abrams and his lead cast chew over just how to hype the film to the assembled Brits, outside stalked Jack the Ripper through a real pea souper off in search of jellied eels....
