Eddie Murphy Will Go Serious Again With ‘Cook’ By Angie Han/Oct. 20, 2014 8:45 am EST In 2007, Eddie Murphy earned an Oscar nomination for his dramatic turn in Dreamgirls. In the years since then, he’s spent his time getting terrible reviews (Meet Dave, A Thousand Words), voicing a donkey (Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever After), or planning sequels to old hits (Beverly Hills Cop 4, Triplets). But now it looks like he’s ready to get serious again....

By Russ Fischer/Jan. 19, 2015 5:30 am EST Newman said, Walden added, It’s true that we’ve had some conversations on X-Files. We’re hopeful of being able to bring that back at some point. And what’s that about availability? David Duchovny was tied to Californication until last year, and while he has the “event series” Aquarius coming up on NBC, that is a 13-episode limited series, rather than an ongoing thing....

Miller’s Alternate Stephen Tobolowsky Insults From ‘Silicon Valley’ By Ethan Anderton/May 27, 2016 6:30 am EST One of the staples of comedy releases on home video is a special feature that contains a reel of alternate jokes and lines from various scenes.

‘Cake’ Trailer: Jennifer Aniston Goes Dark By Angie Han/Nov. 25, 2014 2:30 pm EST Daniel Barnz’s indie drama Cake is being promoted in some circles as Jennifer Aniston’s best shot at an Oscar nomination in ages, which frankly isn’t saying much. She typically favors the type of fluffy comedy roles that don’t get awards attention, and hasn’t done a “serious” role since 2006’s Friends With Money. But on the rare occasions that she does break into more dramatic territory, she usually does quite well....
‘Finding Nemo’ Honest Trailer: The Ocean Is A Non-Stop Murder Parade By Ethan Anderton/June 15, 2016 8:38 am EST Finding Dory is hitting theaters this weekend, and the buzz before it arrives has been pretty good. Plenty of moviegoers will see for themselves this weekend, with the sequel looking at taking in as much as $120 million.
