Rumor: Fantastic Four / X-Men Crossover Planned For 2018 By Angie Han/June 24, 2015 2:00 pm EST Plot details are still sparse. We don’t know if the teams are battling each other, or teaming up, or even which characters will appear. It’s probably a safe bet the Fantastic Four will consist of Trank’s photogenic young cast, but X-Men: Apocalypse is the end of the line for some of that series’ stars....

These New ‘Zootopia’ Clips Will Melt Your Cold Heart With Pure Adorableness By Jacob Hall/Feb. 12, 2016 2:30 pm EST Man, Zootopia sure looks cute. Like really cute. Okay, it looks adorable. Heart-meltingly adorable. Every trailer for this film has made me saw “aww” more than I’d care to admit, because it’s not like an animated Disney film starring a colorful cast of easily merchandisable rabbits and foxes and what-have-you needs my help....

‘Bad Santa 2’ Still Developing, Says Billy Bob Thornton By Russ Fischer/Oct. 21, 2014 4:30 pm EST Bad Santa 2 has been discussed for years, despite the fact that original writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa have moved on to their own directing career and there’s no indication that original director Terry Zwigoff will return.

‘High-Rise’ Trailer: Brutal Violence, Social Upheaval, Crippling Dread, And So Much Tom Hiddleston By Jacob Hall/Jan. 7, 2016 10:30 am EST When I wrote about the new poster for Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise a few days ago, I wondered how StudioCanal and Magnet were going to sell this mesmerizing, strange, and frequently brutal satire. Now that a trailer has arrived, it’s time to start answering that question. The new High-Rise trailer is light on character and story, but heavy on mood, putting the film’s stifling atmosphere and slick visuals at the forefront....
‘Monster Trucks’ Trailer: Turns Out The Title Is Extremely Literal By Angie Han/June 1, 2016 10:00 am EST Monster Trucks’ road to the screen has been a long and winding one. Originally put into development in 2013, it finished shooting in 2014 for release in summer 2015… only to be delayed to Christmas 2015, and then to spring 2016, and then all the way to early 2017. But Paramount is finally ready to offer us a little peek of what’s in store....
Poltergeist trailer If you don’t have Quicktime, click here. When I was a kid, the first Poltergeist scared me so much, I completely blocked it out of my mind. I finally got the courage to rewatch it about 15 years later and it still cared the crap out of me. Since then, I’ve rewatched it a few times and the combination of jump scares, frightening anticipation and huge special effects still holds up with horror movies made 30 years later....
‘The Flash’ / ‘Supergirl’ Crossover Is Officially Happening By Angie Han/Feb. 3, 2016 12:30 pm EST 2016 is definitely the year of the superhero team-up.

‘The Maze Runner’ Honest Trailer Takes Aim At The Fun Sci-Fi Film By Germain Lussier/Jan. 29, 2015 7:00 am EST One of last year’s pleasant surprises was Wes Ball’s The Maze Runner, a cool sci-fi action film masked as a YA adaptation. I mean, yes, the books by James Dashner are technically “young adult” in that they are about a group of teens mysteriously trapped in the center of a giant maze....
‘Zipper’ Trailer: Patrick Wilson Has A Little Problem With Escorts By Russ Fischer/July 22, 2015 1:00 pm EST Hey, did you hear the one about the ugly sex addict who can’t get laid? Of course you didn’t. We’ve got plenty of films and stories about sex addicts, with star-quality guys in the lead roles. (See: Sam Rockwell in Choke; Michael Fassbender in Shame; David Duchovny in Californication.) Now, in Zipper, Patrick Wilson plays a politician who can’t quit his escort habit, even when it threatens to derail his family and career....

By Germain Lussier/Dec. 24, 2014 9:00 am EST There’s little debate that the first Rocky is the best Rocky. To this day, Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar-winning underdog story holds up because of its unpredictable nature and great, unique characters. The bigger question is, what’s the most beloved film of the franchise? The one fans will watch time and time again no matter what else is on. For my money, that’s Rocky IV, the montage-mad 1985 film that pitted the Italian Stallion against the unstoppable Ivan Drago, played by Dolph Lundgren in his prime....
