‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Opening Earlier In France And UK By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 8, 2015 8:15 am EST Because of time zones and staggered release patterns, our friends over in Europe often get to see some of the biggest releases before we do in the United States. In fact, in the case of Marvel Studios’ productions or James Bond movies, they get to see them a few days earlier. Now, it sounds like Disney is doing the same thing with Star Wars: The Force Awakens....

This is true in America, where companies like the Asylum have built an entire business model around making movies that look just similar enough to major blockbusters to confuse grandparents and stoners. However, it’s especially true on the international stage, where scrappy filmmakers all over the world have been abusing copyright for decades now....

‘The Meddler’ Trailer: Susan Sarandon Needs A Hobby By Jack Giroux/March 5, 2016 9:00 am EST The Meddler was on my most anticipated of 2016 list. The film, which stars Rose Byrne and Susan Sarandon, is Lorene Scafaria’s second directorial effort, following the effortlessly charming Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Art For Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ Reveals A Movie That Almost Was By Jacob Hall/June 2, 2016 7:30 am EST Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 is one of my all-time favorite “What If?” movies. I’m in the small fan club of weirdos and losers that enjoys the heck out of the completely batty and bonkers Spider-Man 3, but it’s no secret that Raimi was dissatisfied with how that film turned out. With one more good movie, he could have redeemed the series and sent Tobey Maguire’s Spidey out on a high note....
