(Re)Watch The Full Ant-Man Vs Falcon Fight Scene From ‘Ant-Man’ By Angie Han/Aug. 26, 2015 3:30 pm EST For a Marvel movie, Ant-Man was pretty self-contained. It mostly kept to its own tiny corner of the universe, with its own colorful cast and own potentially world-destroying problems. The one major exception was a scene midway through the movie, when Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) sneaks into Avengers HQ. His subsequent encounter with Sam Wilson a....

‘Rush Hour’ TV Series Trailer: Tell Us If You’ve Heard This One Before… By Jacob Hall/Jan. 11, 2016 2:30 pm EST The Rush Hour film series seems to have mostly vanished into the abyss, but it’s important to remember that these movies were huge for a brief window in the late ’90s and early ’00s. While the first film was a hit in 1998, its 2001 sequel benefitted from every single person in existence having a copy of part one in their burgeoning DVD library, grossing nearly $100 million more than its predecessor at the box office....

‘Top Five’ Trailer: Chris Rock Goes Straight For The Good Stuff By Russ Fischer/Oct. 16, 2014 4:30 pm EST Chris Rock writes, directs and stars in Top Five, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this past September. There it scored both critical raves and a massive distribution deal, with Paramount buying the film for $12.5m. Now Paramount has dropped the first Top Five trailer, in which we meet Rock’s character, a nearly washed-up comedian and movie star who is trying to figure out the next act of his life....

‘Twin Peaks’ Novel From Mark Frost Will Explore 25 Years Of Characters’ History By Russ Fischer/Oct. 16, 2014 11:45 am EST In the years after Twin Peaks, the show’s co-creator Mark Frost became a novelist.

How ‘Deadpool’ Snuck In A Marvel Character Without Permission By Angie Han/Feb. 16, 2016 9:30 am EST But Deadpool’s never been one to care about what’s “right” or “appropriate” or “legal.” And he’s certainly not going to let some silly Hollywood deal stop him from bringing along a Marvel-owned buddy for the Deadpool movie. So writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick found a way to sneak in a certain Marvel-owned character without setting off alarms for Marvel’s lawyers....

By Jacob Hall/Dec. 24, 2015 2:00 pm EST Yes, this is the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Q&A you’re looking for. Following a screening of the film for Oscar and various film guild voters, director J.J.

VOTD: 1001 Movies You Must See (Before You Die) In 10 Minutes By Germain Lussier/Dec. 1, 2014 6:00 am EST We all know the movies that every movie fan should see. The best of the best, the cult classics, the Oscar winners, the blockbusters. But sometimes, it’s hard to actually go through and figure out what you’ve seen and what you haven’t. Even more so, it’s hard to appreciate that work as a whole, especially when you start getting into a long, long list of titles....

VOTD: CG Effects Suck, Except That They Mostly Don’t By Russ Fischer/Aug. 4, 2015 5:00 pm EST We’ve made the point several times in the past, but there’s always reason to make it again: the use of CG may be terrible, but on the whole CG is a great effects tool, especially when used invisibly. A new video collects some arguments against CG and a great many examples of great CG to make the point, in near-definitive fashion, that CG imagery is among the most useful filmmaking tools we have available — it just has to be used well....

Martin’s ongoing book series, which he’s having a little trouble finishing. However, if you’re not a hardcore follower of all the death, betrayal, war, sex and incest in the world of Westeros, then maybe you’ll need a refresher of what happened in the fifth season last year....

Watch All Of The ‘Star Wars’ Teaser Trailers: Episodes I To VII By Germain Lussier/Nov. 28, 2014 1:00 pm EST Much like Thanksgiving, the Star Wars teaser trailer has a long and hearty history. Even before fans knew what “Star Wars” was, Lucasfilm was making trailers to tantalize moviegoers with just enough information and visuals to get them excited. The process continued after Star Wars became massive, reached new heights with the prequels, and continues in 2014 as fans everywhere freak out over seven brief glimpses into the seventh Star Wars film, The Force Awakens....

‘13 Hours’ Trailer: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi Will Not Stand Down By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 11, 2016 8:00 am EST Hoping to find the same audience that made American Sniper a hit around this same time last year, Paramount Pictures is releasing 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi this weekend.

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Gag Reel: Even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Flub Their Lines Sometimes By Angie Han/Sept. 3, 2015 3:30 pm EST While Avengers: Age of Ultron isn’t completely devoid of humor, there’s not a whole lot of time for jokes when everyone’s too busy trying to save the world. The making of Avengers: Age of Ultron, on the other hand, looks like a much more lighthearted affair, full of jokes, screw-ups, and general silliness....

By Russ Fischer/Oct. 16, 2014 3:30 pm EST Yesterday we saw the trailer for Dying of the Light, the new film directed by Paul Schrader from his own script, with Nicolas Cage and Anton Yelchin starring as intelligence agents. But there’s some troubled backstory to the movie, and it isn’t really Schrader’s film now. He was locked out of the edit as the producers took over final cut and added their own score....
