This opens the door for the network to possibly revisit some of their other beloved shows from the 1990s, and one of them might be Home Improvement. Led and inspired by comedian Tim Allen, Home Improvement aired from 1991 to 1999....

‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Set For Cannes Film Festival Premiere By Chris Evangelista/April 5, 2018 2:56 pm EST The Cannes Film Festival likes to act like they’re super high-brow, but they’re not above throwing a bone to a popcorn movie or two. Case in point: this year, Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story will make its debut at the prestigious festival. More on the Cannes Film Festival Solo premiere below....

‘Star Wars: Episode 9’ Will Be Shot On 65mm Film By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 11, 2016 11:00 am EST Collin Trevorrow’s Star Wars: Episode 9 will be shot with 65mm film cameras, a move away from the 35mm film format that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson used on the previous two installments. The result will probably be a higher resolution image that shows more detail, making it more suitable for projection on larger screens like IMAX (which has its own format)....

Players can play as heroes from all three eras of Star Wars in the explosive new game....

‘The Haunting Of Hill House’ Review: A Terrifying Blend Of Supernatural Horror And Psychological Drama By Chris Evangelista/Sept. 25, 2018 10:00 am EST Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House is a frequently scary, surprisingly emotional saga focused on both past and present. Director Mike Flanagan takes Shirley Jackson’s iconic haunted house novel and works into something wholly different, yet equally effective. What haunts you? What ghosts from the past crawl out of the dark and descend upon you as you toss and turn, unable to sleep?...

Over the weekend, Disney released a slew of new tidbits about the upcoming film, including character descriptions, hi-res promo pics, stills, and trivia bits....

‘The Raid’ Director Gareth Evans Shot A Short Samurai Film And You Can Watch It Right Now By Jacob Hall/Jan. 26, 2016 7:00 am EST Gareth Evans is one of the most gifted action directors working today. I cannot imagine what it would be like to shrug off The Raid or The Raid 2, but I feel sorry for anyone who can muster that reaction. Here is a filmmaker whose bravery behind the camera is matched only by the fearlessness of the actors, martial artists and stuntmen he places in front of it....

‘The Terror’ Review: AMC’s Historical Horror Story Is A Creepy Delight By Chris Evangelista/March 5, 2018 11:00 am EST Our The Terror review examines the chilling new horror mini-series from AMC. Potentially mild spoilers follow. The Story History tells us the fates of the crew of Sir John Franklin’s so-called lost expedition in 1845–1848. Any expedition that has “lost” in its name isn’t going to have a happy ending, and years after seemingly vanishing off the face of the earth, it was confirmed that every soul who sailed on the ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror perished in an attempt to traverse the last unexplored section of the Northwest Passage....

I saw a lot of films in 2016. Here were some of my very favorites. Honorable Mentions: In no particular order, here are a few films I loved this year, but for whatever reason did not quite make the cut....

Cinemark, one of the major theater chains in the United States, has officially banned large bags from its theaters. And for those of you who are still wondering exactly how the heck the MoviePass business model works, company CEO Mitch Lowe explains it in a new interview....

Early Buzz: ‘Battleship’ Is Splashy, Mindless Entertainment In The ‘Transformers’ Mold By Angie Han/April 11, 2012 11:30 am EST On the one hand, Universal’s Battleship looks, frankly, kinda stupid. It’s an adaptation of a Hasbro toy, along the same lines as Michael Bay’s dumb (but occasionally fun) Transformers franchise, and early spots and footage did nothing to suggest it’d be anything more than an uninspired, cynical cash grab. On the other, there’s some promising talent both in front of and behind the camera: Friday Night Lights director Peter Berg at the helm and his Friday Night Lights stars Taylor Kitsch and Jesse Plemons in the cast, plus Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, Hamish Linklater, and Liam Neeson....

Highlights From The Social Network Press Conference By David Chen/Oct. 1, 2010 9:00 am EST Last weekend, I was given the opportunity to attend the New York press junket for The Social Network. In addition to interviewing actor Armie Hammer (The Winklevoss twins), I also sat in on a press conference featuring stars Hammer, Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin), Justin Timberlake (Sean Parker), Jesse Eisenberg (Mark Zuckerberg), and writer Aaron Sorkin. Hit the jump to hear them speak about David Fincher’s meticulousness, the verisimilitude of the script, and the character of Mark Zuckerberg....

More ‘Star Wars’ Board Games Every Fan Should Play, Episode II [Cardboard Cinema] By Jacob Hall/Oct. 26, 2015 8:00 am EST Welcome back to Cardboard Cinema, the series where we explore the fine line between movies and tabletop gaming. A few days ago, we took a plunge into the world of officially licensed Star Wars board games, taking look at X-Wing, Star Wars: Armada, and Star Wars: Imperial Assault. Each of those games reflect a different corner of this classic universe, putting players in control of tiny space fighters, hulking Star Destroyers, and armies of Stormtroopers....

New ‘The Man Who Killed Don Quixote’ Images Are Here, And So Are More Problems By Chris Evangelista/April 27, 2018 6:00 am EST It’s hard to believe that Terry Gilliam’s long-awaited, long-delayed The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is almost here. Or maybe it’s not? Some new Man Who Killed Don Quixote images have arrived, and with them comes even more trouble for the film. Trouble that might get it pulled from its Cannes premiere....
