‘Creed’ Trailer: There’s A New Fighter In Town By Russ Fischer/June 30, 2015 4:30 pm EST Creed marks a new chapter in the long Rocky storyline, and the film is both a sequel and, in a way, a reboot.

View this post on Instagram...

‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Adds Actual Knight Anthony Hopkins By Angie Han/June 3, 2016 4:00 pm EST Give Transformers a bit of credit: after nine years and four installments, they still manage to surprise us every once in a while.

Oh, and she buys her own talk show, which she appears to host with unusually transparent personal candor....

Captain Kirk Almost Fought Jesus Christ In ‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture’ By Jacob Hall/July 5, 2016 2:00 pm EST But those twelve films will soon be thirteen, so it’s no accident that the new book The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek – The First 25 Years is in stores right now (the second volume arrives in August). While I’m anticipation Star Trek Beyond, this book is what is currently grabbing my attention… mainly because it reveals that Gene Roddenberry wrote a Star Trek movie where Captain Kirk fights Jesus Christ....

For one thing, it seems John Stamos (played here by Justin Gaston) wasn’t sold on the Olsen twins....

LOL: ‘Toy Story’ And ‘Annabelle’ Mashed-Up In ‘Woody’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 7, 2014 5:00 am EST This past weekend, it took every dollar and cent for David Fincher’s latest to beat Annabelle. A prequel to last year’s hit horror film The Conjuring, Annabelle tells the story of the evil doll seen briefly in The Conjuring. Evil dolls are not a new thing though. Just today, the creator of Chucky said he’d love his creation to appear in a showdown with Annabelle....

LOL: The Iconic Stairs Scene From ‘Rocky’ Is Pretty Awkward Without Music By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 4, 2016 6:00 am EST Trey Parker and Matt Stone cleverly called attention to the cliché of training montages with a little musical number in Team America: World Police. However, that hasn’t stopped montages, especially with our heroes gearing up for the final fight, from being a mainstay in motion pictures. But have you ever stopped to think about what it’s like to be in that kind of scene when the music that drives the scene doesn’t actually exist?...

Chandor, who raced from Margin Call to All Is Lost to A Most Violent Year, has left the director’s chair of the upcoming film Deepwater Horizon. The reason?

Rare Footage Offers Intimate Behind The Scenes Look At 1977 ‘Star Wars’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 19, 2014 1:30 pm EST Star Wars is one of those franchises where almost nothing you discover about it is new. Whether it be a cool inside fact, image, or whatever, odds are it’s been out there years, possibly decades. Maybe it’s new to you but the franchise has been so closely followed for so many years, it would be very rare to find something genuinely new in relation to the original or prequel trilogies....

Remember The 1990 Uncle Buck TV Show? It Was Horrible By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 8, 2014 12:30 pm EST Earlier today we told you that ABC and MadTV alums Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley were planning to turn John Hughes’ 1989 comedy Uncle Buck into a new multi-camera half-hour series. I almost included TV Show adaptations of popular 1980’s and 1990’s movies as the 10th entry on my list of Current Movie Trends I Hate (read the list of nine, if you haven’t already)....

Superhero Bits: Shazam, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, The Avengers, Daredevil, Iron Man By Germain Lussier/March 23, 2015 6:00 pm EST Want to hear Dwayne Johnson talking about Shazam and Black Adam? Is Gal Gadot embarrassed about people talking about her Wonder Woman body? Is Jason Momoa all-in to play Aquaman? Will this week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D talk about The Avengers? Can you try and be an extra in Captain America: Civil War?...
