Happy Birthday, George Lucas!
14 May 2013 9:32 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Force is strong with this one: On May 14, 1944 in Modesto, Calif., George Lucas was born to parents Dorothy and George Lucas, Sr. Sixty-nine years later, Lucas is one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of Hollywood, the man who made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs who created "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones."
After making his directorial debut with 1971's "Thx 1138," Lucas co-wrote and directed the coming-of-age classic "American Graffiti." (The film was based on Lucas' early life in Modesto.) Featuring a bevy of future stars like Harrison Ford, Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfuss, "American Graffiti" was a hit; the 1973 film earned five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director for Lucas and Best Original Screenplay for Lucas, Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck. After "American Graffiti" came a little film called "Star Wars" (later known as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope").

Tony Awards 2013: Was Bette Midler dissed for 'I'll Eat You Last'?
9 May 2013 12:03 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
When Bette Midler didn't garner a Tony nomination for her portrayal of the late super-agent Sue Mengers, some complained this was a major slap.
I'm not sure who should have been excluded to make room for her. As far as slights in the leading actress category in a play go, Midler's exclusion doesn't resonate as the biggest surprise. That dishonor would have to go to Fiona Shaw not being nominated for "The Testament of Mary."
Whether recognized for the award, though, doesn't detract from this as an evening of entertainment or Midler's secure status as a star. Only a star can hold an audience rapt for almost an hour and a half with no breaks, no movement and nothing but her voice. For the record, the Divine Miss M does not sing.
Rather, she holds court with the audience. Wearing a filmy blue muumuu -- which costume designer Ann Roth »

10 non-blockbuster films we’re looking forward to this summer

Octavia Spencer in Fruitvale Station
The summer season has, over the past few decades, become synonymous with movie blockbuster season, as studios have found the months of May to August to contain the most profitable release dates for big-budget tentpole features, leading to the summer of recent years being filled with superhero films, big budget CGI features, and other tentpole movies that draw in huge crowds. This year is no different, as Marvel’s Iron Man 3 is set to kick off the summer movie season as May rolls around. However, this doesn’t mean non-blockbuster features don’t make their way to theatres during this time, and for those looking for smaller features, there are plenty of viewing options. Here are ten of our most anticipated non-blockbuster features set to be released over the next few months.
Author’s note: All films were selected based on their release date in American theatres. »

Anthony Hopkins Charms And Byung Hun Lee Packs Heat In New Red 2 Posters
25 April 2013 10:14 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Robert Schwentke's 2010 comic book adaptation Red brought together a pretty incredible cast. While Bruce Willis alone is usually enough to sell an action movie, the film also included Morgan Freeman, Mary Louise-Parker, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss and Ernest Borgnine. It's a pretty hard group of actors to top, but not only does the upcoming sequel, Red 2, bring back a good number of them, it even adds some great names to mix, including both Anthony Hopkins and Byung Hun Lee, the two stars featured on today's pair of new character posters that come to us via Yahoo! We've been posting new one-sheets for Red 2 all week in anticipation of the brand new trailer that's set to launch tomorrow, with Willis and Malkovich taking center stage on Tuesday; and Mirren and new addition Catherine Zeta-Jones taking the spotlight yesterday.

Exclusive: Mark Millar Talks Jupiter's Legacy Movie; Wants Richard Dreyfuss To Star
23 April 2013 3:44 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
With Kick-Ass 2 set to be released this summer, Nemesis, Supercrooks, The Secret Service and Wanted 2 are all in various stages of development in their respective journey's to the big screen. It now appears as if we should add Jupiter's Legacy to that list as writer Mark Millar (who has created the book alongside artist Frank Quitely) offers us an exclusive update as to what's going on with a movie version of the upcoming Image series. Millar also reveals that he would like to see Richard Dreyfuss play 'Walter', and while he makes it clear that there haven't been any talks with the actor as of yet, the writer is sure to make this happen (take Mark Hamill's planned appearance in Matthew Vaughn's take on The Secret Service for example). Perhaps most interesting is the fact that he envisions the adaptation taking place across more than one movie. »

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Sandlot’ Still Charms, But Rerelease Disappoints
9 April 2013 7:06 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – 1993 will be nostalgically remembered by many members of my generation as the summer of “Jurassic Park” and the spring of “The Sandlot.” If you were a movie-loving kid during this year, it’s highly likely both of these films occupied a corner of your imagination. I clearly remember how the junkyard dog, dubbed by neighborhood pals in “The Sandlot” as “the Beast,” seemed as terrifying as any T-Rex.
Since I was seven years old in 1993, my parents wouldn’t allow me to be traumatized by Spielberg’s monster movie (I later saw it on VHS during a snow day, and was absolutely spellbound). But I did see “The Sandlot,” and prided myself on being able to handle the gleefully scary scenes where a group of boys attempts to snatch a prized baseball from the jaws of the Beast. Viewed 20 years later, I now see why it was so effortless »

The passing of Roger Ebert
4 April 2013 9:08 PM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
Prolific film critic Roger Ebert has passed away at the age of 70. For a number of years Ebert had been battling cancer, and had undergone surgery that had taken away his ability to speak, but not his will to remain a vibrant and influential voice about cinema.
Along with his television balcony partner Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert was likely the most important force in educating the average person about the good and bad of filmmaking. If you want to read about Roger's background as a newspaper film critic, there's no better place today than the obituary in the Chicago Sun-Times, his publishing home these past 46 years. But for the purposes of this article on this site, my thoughts shared will be the personal ones that I have for Roger Ebert.
I have no doubt that one of the many tiny seeds that led to me creating Coming Attractions happened when »

Dead By Dawn: Thn’s Top Ten Horror Remakes
1 April 2013 2:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To celebrate Friday’s Us release of Fede Alvarez’ Evil Dead, the remake of Sam Raimi’s notorious 1981 gore-filled effort, we’ve decided to put together a list of our top favourite horror remakes. We’ve included genre offerings that gave a refreshing spin to their respective source material, some going on to match, and even surpass the originals. Read on to see if any of your favourites made the list…
10. Willard (2003)
The excellent and underrated Crispin Glover puts his heart and (demented) soul into this fascinating take on 1971s Willard, to play the social outcast-turned-sociopathic title character. A film I first caught at an empty cinema in Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Willard tells the story of a young man with the capability to control an army of rats, after suffering years of mental abuse from his domineering mother and boss. Final Destination creator Glenn Morgan made his »

DVD Review: The Frankenstein Theory
23 March 2013 8:30 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
When I saw the promotional material for "The Frankenstein Theory," I admit rolling my eyes and thinking the movie sounded ridiculous. I couldn't help but have low expectations going into it with cover art exclaiming, "From the creators of 'The Last Exorcism.'" Whenever a movie carries a bi-line like that to promote it, you can bet it's going to be a disappointment. This indie found "footage" film is the perfect example of a concept that shouldn't work but did.
Desperately driven to prove himself to the world, Professor John Venkenheim leads a documentary film crew to the edge of the Arctic Circle. He intends to expose to the world his inconceivable theory. He believes that Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is a work of non-fiction disguised as fantasy and that the creature is alive and well. As they travel deeper into the desolate snow-covered plains, strange events and happenings unfold around them. »

10 More Really Annoying Movie Characters
21 March 2013 8:08 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The topic of annoying movie characters isn’t new to WhatCulture.com (hence the adjective ‘more’ in the title), as Nafissa Jeetoo has had her say on it previously, as has Stuart W. Bedford before her.
Having watched a lot of movies lately in which certain characters have really bugged me, I found myself purposefully re-watching movies just to remind myself of how annoying certain characters are.
As a result, I’ve decided to weigh in on the topic with ten more decidedly irritating characters from the world of movies. Note that the likes of Jar Jar Binks and Sam Witwicky (ugh) have already been picked in previous lists and will therefore not be in this one!
Here goes…

Let’s get the controversial one out of the way first.

Disinclined to accept more lead roles, Drive actor says he 'needs a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does'
Ryan Gosling, the Oscar-nominated Canadian star of Drive and The Ides of March has revealed he is to take a break from acting.
Gosling, who recently signed up to direct his first feature film, the dark fantasy How to Catch a Monster, said in an interview with Associated Press that he needed to step away from his current profession for the sake of his own artistic equilibrium. "I've lost perspective on what I'm doing," he said. "I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does."

10 Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Of All Time
21 March 2013 2:43 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Science fiction remains one of the most amazing genres in the history of film because of just how adaptable it is. A sci-fi movie can be about anything its creator wants it to be, which could mean something incredibly grand or something very small in scale.
Any genre can be encapsulated within the confines of a sci-fi story, whether it’s horror, drama or romance. It’s this level of versatility that causes filmmakers to be drawn to the genre when they want to either tell special effects heavy stories or amaze the audience by showing them something that they’ve never seen before.
2013 looks to be a great year for sci-fi, while 2012 featured some very strong movies in the genre. I felt this would be apt time to write a list of this sort. My main goal here is to showcase the variety that is present in sci-fi and »
