LOL: Breaking Bad Creator Begs Fans To Stop Throwing Pizza’s On Walter White’s Roof By Russ Fischer/March 12, 2015 5:00 am EST Deliberately throwing stuff onto a stranger’s roof is a jerk movie pretty much any time, especially when the thrown object is something that is a pain to clean up and primed to slowly decompose. And when random people are throwing the same thing on the same roof over and over again, it gets really irritating....

See Behind The Scenes Footage From Joseph Kahn’s ‘Power/Rangers’ By Russ Fischer/March 2, 2015 1:30 pm EST The footage is on YouTube via the short’s producer, Adi Shankar. As that shows, the Power/Rangers short was more or less a full-blown production — just one with a different intent than most film shoots. Seeing some of the fight choreography is pretty neat, as is the evidence that this was all captured quickly, in a week-long shoot....

‘xXx: Return Of Xander Cage’ Trailer Promises “Guns, Girls, Global Domination” By Angie Han/July 19, 2016 4:45 pm EST I’d say “I can’t believe they made another xXx movie,” but in a year where we’ve gotten sequels for everything from Independence Day: Resurgence to Snow White and the Huntsman, of freaking course they made another xXx movie. After all, Vin Diesel is bigger now than he’s ever been, but even he can’t make another Fast and the Furious movie every year....

First Look: ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Bringing Classic Autobot Hot Rod To The Big Screen By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 4, 2016 12:00 pm EST While it might be far more exciting if Andy Samberg’s Hot Rod character was being brought into the Transformers franchise, we’ll have to settle for the recent reveal that the classic Autobot Hot Rod will return to the big screen in Transformers: The Last Knight. Michael Bay revealed the latest addition to the Autobots roster overnight last night on Twitter, but rather than just showing off another vehicle that will turn into a robot in post-production, he actually showed the Autobot form of Hot Rod instead....
