LOL: Mario Kart And ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ Mash-Up Is A Match Made In Valhalla By Ethan Anderton/May 23, 2015 1:00 pm EST People just can’t stop talking about Mad Max: Fury Road. The action bonanza seems to be the movie to beat this summer, and I’m not sure that any of the releases coming up have the potential to overshadow this gorgeous, mesmerizing, mind-blowing piece of cinema. And since we’ve been gushing about the movie for over a week now, it’s time to start playing around with it on the internet by mashing it up with whatever people can think of....

Ryan Reynolds Finds ‘Life’ On Mars With ‘Deadpool’ Scribes By Angie Han/Feb. 16, 2016 11:00 am EST You’ve got to hand it to Ryan Reynolds for sticking around as long as he has. His resume is littered with expensive stinkers that might’ve sunk a less talented or less charismatic actor, from X-Men Origins: Wolverine to Green Lantern to R.I.P.D. But not only has he managed to bounce back each time, he’s hotter than ever this week thanks to the record-breaking success of Deadpool....

Watch How ‘Game Of Thrones’ Visual Effects Have Evolved Over Five Seasons By Ethan Anderton/July 14, 2015 10:00 am EST It’s no secret that the visual effects of feature films are usually vastly superior to that of television.

Why Sofia Coppola Dropped Out Of ‘The Little Mermaid’ By Angie Han/Dec. 3, 2015 1:30 pm EST Hollywood is high on live-action fairy tales at the moment, but even so some of these projects have found much better luck than others. Disney’s Cinderella was a big hit at the start of the year, but Joe Wright’s Pan was a big fat flop for Warner Bros. this summer. Some of these movies run into trouble before they even get off the ground — like Universal’s The Little Mermaid, which lost director Sofia Coppola earlier this year....

We knew from the start that this soulful, sensitive, and dashing bartender (who also, you know, just so happens to have unbreakable skin) was going to be the star of his own series and would eventually unite with the rest of the Marvel Netflix stable of characters for a Defenders series, but Colter made a solo series for Luke feel like a priority in the midst of another character’s show....

‘Roadies’ Trailer: Cameron Crowe Returns To Rock And Roll With New Showtime Series By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 12, 2016 10:30 am EST It’s no secret that pretty much the entire /Film crew has undying love for Almost Famous. Maybe it’s because of the similarities between covering the world of music and covering the world of film and television, or maybe it’s just because it’s a damn good coming-of-age tale. No matter what the reason, I love it....
