‘Goldfinger’ Director Guy Hamilton Dead At 93 By Jacob Hall/April 22, 2016 12:00 pm EST It’s easy to take the James Bond movies and the iconography that accompanies them for granted. This character and his film series have been a part of pop culture for long that it’s easy to think that Agent 007 and his world arrived fully formed, to forget the many artists who contributed to his creation. Director Guy Hamilton, who directed four James Bond movies (including the iconic Goldfinger) has passed away at the age of 93....

‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ Is Getting Another Reboot By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 6, 2015 7:30 am EST It’s only been five years since New Line and Platinum Dunes tried their hand at remaking Wes Craven’s classic horror flick A Nightmare on Elm Street, the film that brought the taunting slasher Freddy Krueger into all our nightmares.

‘Pete’s Dragon’ Trailer: The Best Kept Secret In The Pacific Northwest By Jack Giroux/June 14, 2016 9:10 am EST Pete’s Dragon is very, very loosely based on the 1977 Disney film of the same name, a movie that, as charming as it often is, isn’t exactly sacrilegious to remake. Handling the newest Disney modernization is director David Lowery, whose last feature film was Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. Going from a sparse, tone poem to a big Disney remake is quite a jump for a filmmaker to make, but the trailer for Pete’s Dragon suggests it’s a transition Lowery had little trouble making....

‘The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death’ Trailer Welcomes You Back To Eel Marsh House By Angie Han/Oct. 22, 2014 8:00 am EST The first Woman in Black was a solid thriller, and Woman in Black: Angel of Death hopes to follow in its footsteps. The first trailer, though, looks pretty standard. There are lots of dark shadows, dire warnings, cute kids being haunted, and some big jump scares. It’s not laughably awful, like the very worst horror movie trailers are, but nor does it really stand out....
