LOL: This Popcorn Helmet Is Hands Free, Will Ruin Movies For Everyone Else By Ethan Anderton/April 20, 2016 6:00 am EST Most people like having a tasty snack when they go to the movies. That’s why movie theater chains charge an arm and a leg for M&M’s, nachos, pretzels and the classic movie snack popcorn. Even at home people like popping their own popcorn to enjoy a flick from the comfort of their own couch....
By Russ Fischer/Sept. 1, 2015 11:30 am EST I kind of love this, because it sounds like prime ’70s era family comedy material. But I am distressed because nowhere in that description do we learn what the acronym A.R.C.H.I.E. stands for. That, my friends, is what is called a hook, and I am now fully caught and ready to be reeled in by this movie’s charms. Wait, though, wait. Robot dog… realistic looking… family movie… how is this not just a spin-off from the 1979 film C....
Nicolas Winding Refn Announces ‘The Neon Demon’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 3, 2014 8:30 am EST Nicolas Winding Refn has officially announced the female-led horror movie he’s been developing for over a year, and the film has a new title. What was once referred to as I Walk With the Dead is now The Neon Demon. The film will be at the American Film Market, which begins shortly in Los Angeles, and should shoot early in 2015....
Once Again, Zack Snyder Defends ‘Man Of Steel’ Destroying Metropolis, Talks ‘Batman V Superman’ By Jack Giroux/Jan. 23, 2016 10:00 am EST Can you think of a more romantic spot for a first kiss than when you’re surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of dead bodies? Doesn’t exactly set the mood, does it? Lois Lane (Amy Adams) was into it, though, and she even cracked a joke (“It’s downhill after the first kiss”) amongst the chaos....
Parents Furious, Kids Terrified After Theater Mixes Up ‘Insidious Chapter 3’ And ‘Inside Out’ By Angie Han/June 25, 2015 3:00 pm EST Insidious: Chapter 3 and Inside Out don’t have a lot in common. One is a PG-13 horror film about a teenager terrorized by an evil demon; the other is a kid-friendly Pixar movie about feelings. But they do both start with the letters “insid,” and that was enough to cause a mix-up that left children in one Ohio theater “terrified....
Quicksilver Is Back In ‘X-Men: Apocalypse;’ Could We See A Solo Movie? By Germain Lussier/Oct. 22, 2014 2:45 pm EST Even people who didn’t like X-Men: Days of Future Past love the Quicksilver scene. As Charles, Logan and Hank sneak into the Pentagon to break out Erik, they employ the talents of a young speedy mutant named Quicksilver. He steals the movie with an incredible slow motion scene where he runs around a kitchen, under active sprinklers, completely changing the situation in order to help our heroes....
Shane Black Wants Dwayne Johnson For His ‘Doc Savage’ Movie By Jacob Hall/March 23, 2016 9:00 am EST Shane Black has been trying to make a Doc Savage movie for a long, long time. He wrote the original screenplay in 2009 and jumped in the director’s chair in 2010 and then…not much happened, aside from the usual on-again, off-again shenanigans. But this is obviously a passion project for the director of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and Iron Man 3 – many filmmakers would have just turned and fled from a project that has been gestating for this long, but he appears to be all in....

Vin Diesel’s Big-Screen ‘Kojak’ Revival Moves Forward By Russ Fischer/June 19, 2015 12:30 pm EST You probably forgot that Vin Diesel has been part of an effort to develop a big-screen revival of the cop TV series Kojak, but Diesel and Universal haven’t forgotten. The show, which originally starred Telly Savalas and was a great series in its time, isn’t exactly a property people have been clamoring to see revived. With Diesel’s other high-profile projects, from Guardians of the Galaxy to the Fast/Furious series, and even Riddick, something like Kojak is easy to overlook....
Watch Eli Roth’s Thesis Short Film ‘Restaurant Dogs’: A Tarantino Homage Starring Fast Food Characters By Peter Sciretta/May 1, 2015 9:30 am EST I first discovered filmmaker Eli Roth at the Boston Film Festival in 2003. Its not that his debut Cabin Fever was incredible, but it demonstrated a new and interesting voice. And for whatever the film lacked, Roth made up with his hour-long question and answer session that followed the screening....
Watch The Very Terrence Malick-Y ‘The Better Angels’ Trailer By Angie Han/Oct. 27, 2014 8:00 am EST We’ve seen plenty of movies about Abraham Lincoln — including, most recently, Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln — but none quite like this. The Better Angels takes place long before all of the stuff Lincoln got famous for, focusing instead on his childhood in the Indiana wilderness. Jason Clarke and Brit Marling play the parents of the future U....

News trucks caught the film setting up shop at Steve Jobs’ old home in Los Altos, California over the weekend. There, they dressed and shot Jobs’ garage, where he and Steve Wozniak began the Apple empire....
‘Batman V Superman’ Almost Featured The Joker And The Riddler By Jacob Hall/March 21, 2016 1:00 pm EST And, at one point, there was even more. In a new interview, director Zack Snyder revealed that the Joker and the Riddler, two of the most popular members of Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery, were once going to appear in the film. Speaking with Collider, Snyder revealed that these two iconic villains were cut for the exact reason you’d expect – the film simply needed more time to focus on Batman and Superman....
‘Deadpool’ Scribes Writing Movie About New Coke Marketing Disaster By Angie Han/April 28, 2015 8:04 am EST Remember New Coke? If you do, it’s probably not because you loved that sweeter flavor so very much, but because New Coke has gone down in history as one of the biggest marketing blunders of all time. Its failure was so epic, in fact, that now it’s getting turned into a film. Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Deadpool) are scripting the New Coke movie, based on the Thomas Oliver book The Real Coke, The Real Story....
‘Green Room’ Red Band Trailer: Shotguns Blast When Things Go South By Ethan Anderton/April 8, 2016 1:00 pm EST There’s being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and then there’s finding yourself in the middle of a group of neo-Nazis who will stop at anything to cover up a murder. That’s exactly what happens in Jeremy Saulnier’s latest thriller Green Room when a punk rock band sees something they weren’t supposed to after playing a shady stop on a little cross country tour....
‘Legends Of The Hidden Temple’ Trailer: Your ’90s Childhood Obsession Is Back As A TV Movie By Jacob Hall/July 26, 2016 4:00 pm EST When I wrote about Nickelodeon’s upcoming TV movie adaptation of Legends of the Hidden Temple, I joked that there would probably be a scene where the main characters hopelessly struggle to assemble the statue in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, a tribute to the room in the original game show that seemed to baffle even the smartest kid contestants....
