TV Bits: First Teaser For The ‘Gilmore Girls’ Revival, American ‘Peep Show’ In The Works, ‘Turn’ Renewed For Final Season By Jacob Hall/July 29, 2016 5:30 am EST BoJack Horseman is the best show on Netflix and one of the best shows available to watch anywhere. The third season dropped last week and the critical praise for this hilarious and brutally honest tale of showbiz and depression that just so happens to star a talking horse has been non-stop....

VOTD: How ‘Batman V Superman’ Should Have Ended By Ethan Anderton/May 4, 2016 8:31 am EST For years to come, one of the most divisive comic book films will be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Among comic books fans, there are those who like what Zack Snyder to the table, and there are those who hated what he did with DC Comics iconic superheroes. Among general audiences who don’t care about comic book mythology, there are those who loved the movie while others were underwhelmed....

VOTD: Vin Diesel Demonstrates ‘Street Sharks’ Figures At A 1994 Toy Fair And It’s Amazing By Jacob Hall/Jan. 29, 2016 6:30 am EST There are two versions of Vin Diesel: the glowering, mumbling tough guy at the center of the Fast and Furious films and the energetic nerd who happily talks about his Dungeons & Dragons campaigns in public. That second incarnation of Diesel is on display in today’s must-watch video, which finds the pre-fame actor showing off Street Sharks action figures at a 1994 toy fair and doing one helluva job....

‘Feast’ Director Will Make Paul Pope Adaptation ‘Battling Boy’ By Russ Fischer/July 30, 2015 1:00 pm EST It makes sense that the first movie based on a comic by Paul Pope would be his entertaining and relatively accessible Battling Boy, rather than something more strange and complex like his Mars epic THB or the set of future-Manhattan stories from 100%. A boy hero, even a boy hero who is a demigod who fights with magic t-shirts, is the sort of character who makes for a slightly easier movie marketing pitch....

‘Insidious: Chapter 4’ Scares Up A Director And A Release Date By Angie Han/May 16, 2016 3:00 pm EST Creatively, the Insidious films have yielded diminishing returns. Chapter 3, which was the first one not directed by Wan, traded the tension and dread of the earlier films for jump scares and gimmicky monsters, and not even the new and different setting (it’s a prequel) could keep it from feeling familiar. But financially, they’re still thriving....

‘The Wolf Man’ Reboot Will Kill A Bunch Of Villagers And Feel Really Bad About It In 2018 By Jacob Hall/Dec. 4, 2015 10:00 am EST We have written about our trepidation over Universal’s plans to revive their classic monsters several times now. Sure, the “shared universe” approach works wonders for the likes of Marvel, but is it really the right way to approach classic characters like Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Mummy?...

2014 Razzie Nominations Short List Blends Obvious And Well-Regarded Choices By Germain Lussier/Jan. 6, 2015 5:00 am EST That’s just one of a hundred reasons The Razzies are so useless. Sure it’s funny in theory to crown the worst movies of the year, but the process by which they choose their short list of nominees is a total mystery. For example this year, Noah, a movie with a fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is a possible nominee....

A ‘Southpaw’ Re-Release Is Coming By Jack Giroux/Oct. 1, 2015 3:30 pm EST Southpaw was a mild success. The Antoine Fuqua-directed boxing pic was forecast as an Awards contender, with plenty of buzz going around for Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance. While the film might not go that distance, a Southpaw re-release is happening. So if you missed out on the pretty decent and pretty on-the-nose drama, it’s returning to theaters this Friday....

Confirmed: Darth Vader Is In ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ By Angie Han/June 22, 2016 6:55 am EST For months now there has been speculation that Darth Vader would appear in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And unlike some of the other theories and rumors floating around, this one passes the sniff test: the timing lines up (the story takes place shortly before the events of A New Hope) and so does the premise (the Rebels are out to steal the Death Star plans)....

Danny Elfman Reveals ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Involvement By Angie Han/March 16, 2015 3:00 pm EST Buried in the otherwise unremarkable Avengers: Age of Ultron poster unveiled last month was a surprising credit for Danny Elfman for providing “additional material.” The composer’s name got fans buzzing about the hows and whys of his involvement, with some speculating it had to do with Spider-Man’s impending arrival within the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

New ‘Fantastic Four’ Images Show Off The Team’s Suits By Russ Fischer/March 12, 2015 3:00 pm EST Total Film has these pics. Head there to see slightly bigger versions. These shots give us a better look at the team’s costumes, and one shot really shows off the scars on Reed’s face. I also love the guys in the flame-resistant suits that seem ready to study Johnny Storm after he bursts into flame....

Nicolas Cage Re-Teams With Paul Schrader For Crime Story ‘Dog Eat Dog’ By Russ Fischer/May 18, 2015 10:30 am EST Paul Schrader wrote and directed The Dying of the Light, released in 2014, with Nicolas Cage in the lead role (above). But things went bad for the film, with Schrader and the producers falling into disagreement and the producers ultimately releasing a re-edited version of the film that is reportedly far from Schrader’s original conception....
