'The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4': Six Things to Expect From the Spidey Sequels

18 June 2013 2:00 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

We thought we were only going to get two more doses of Sony's Spidey, but as it turns out we can now expect a quadrilogy from 'The Amazing Spider-Man' franchise.

Following Monday's exciting news, the Internet has been buzzing with various speculations of what "Spider-Man 3 and 4" will include. From villains to casting to reboots of Sam Raimi's failed attempts, the web of possibilities is wide open.

Just to throw in our own two cents -- and think five years ahead -- we've devised a list of predictions of what we can expect to see in the future of our web-slinging superhero. Share your thoughts and speculations in the comments below!

1. Peter Parker's origin story, finally.

At first it appeared that Marc Webb's first installment in the Spider-Man trilogy would reveal how Parker really became Spidey and whether it was predestined in his DNA or not. However, »

Ellen DeGeneres, ‘Sesame Street’ Lead Daytime Emmy Wins

15 June 2013 1:03 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “Sesame Street” landed a half-dozen wins apiece on Friday night as the Daytime Emmy Creative Arts Awards were handed out in Los Angeles.

DeGeneres’ syndie yakker, a perennial Daytime Emmy darling, won a craft and technical awards as well as a nod for directing a talkshow or morning program, in a tie with NBC’s “Today.”

Sesame Street” took the statuette for preschool program as well as writing and directing for a children’s program. Kevin Clash, the puppeteer who left the show last November after more than 20 years as the beloved Elmo character amid revelations about his sexual relations, won for performer in a children’s program. He also shared in the directing award for “Sesame Street” with three others: Ken Diego, Joey Mazzarino and Matt Vogel.

Cabler the Hub prevailed in the children’s program category with its “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour” series. »

Teresa Palmer on Wish You Were Here's "Big Reveal" and Why She Bypassed Her Party Years

6 June 2013 10:56 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

In just a few short years, Teresa Palmer has built a movie career any young actor would envy. Teresa moved to La at age 20 shortly after landing her role in the comedy Take Me Out Tonight, relying on good friends Topher Grace and Anna Faris to help show her the Hollywood ropes. Her latest film, Wish You Were Here, hits select theaters this weekend and also stars fellow Aussie Joel Edgerton. We caught up with Teresa to talk about the project and what it was like to play an impulsive party girl, a phase she admits she "bypassed" in her own life because she was so focused on work. Teresa also told us that her next project will have her juggling roles in front of and behind the camera; she's writing, producing, and starring in a movie loosely based on her own life. »

No cure for Hangover Part III as new releases fail to make UK top five

5 June 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Hangover Part III tops the the UK box-office charts for a second week, with Fast & Furious 6 in hot pursuit and Epic in third place

The winner

After three weeks of back-to-back blockbuster releases (Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6, The Great Gatsby and The Hangover Part III), UK cinemas drew breath at the weekend with a relatively modest set of new films, led by dystopian horror-thriller The Purge. Consequently holdover titles occupied the top five places in the chart – the first time the top five failed to include a new entrant since Christmas weekend 2011, when Bollywood title Don 2 was the only significant new release.

On its second weekend of play, The Hangover Part III held on to the top spot, and has grossed £13.5m in 12 days. That compares with £21.1m for The Hangover Part II at the same stage of its run. Based on that discrepancy, Part III is »

Film Review: 'The Big Wedding'

29 May 2013 11:59 PM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »

★★☆☆☆ Given the eclectic and well-respected actors that make up The Big Wedding's (2013) ensemble cast, you'd be forgiven for thinking this could one be a blast; a more adult take on the family wedding sub-genre and, with such calibre on show, a great match-up on paper. In reality, however, it's more kind-of-funny-in-an-awkward way than laugh-out-loud hilarity - though any film that starts with Robert De Niro giving oral sex to Susan Sarandon deserves some kudos, if just for the sheer ballsiness of it. Director Justin Zackham continues at pace with this familiar form of teen-humour-as-performed by gracious, accomplished thesps.

We're at a family wedding, of course, as Missy (Amanda Seyfried) and Alejandro (Ben Barnes) prepare to tie the knot. Don (De Niro) is the happy adoptive father, Bebe (Sarandon) the happy step-mum, and Ellie (Diane Keaton) the happy mum/ex-wife along for the ride. Strange enough yet? Well, how about »

The Big Wedding Review

28 May 2013 7:26 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

At some weddings, more than a handful of guests forcibly feign joy at their friend or family member’s matrimony, aware that any outpouring of adverse sentiment – however justifiable – would paint them as a blasphemously selfish anomaly within an aura of exultation. Those with a grudge to bear assume a mask to layer over any underlying misgivings or tensions, thus avoiding any unwelcome disputes. Movie weddings, however, rarely go off without a hitch. There are always secrets to be told, never untold. It’s only fitting, then, that those with the most skeletons in The Big Wedding are central to the wedding aisle, and whose voices carry to the farthest pew.

Being that this star-studded remake of the 2006 French film Mon frère se marie has added an adjective to its original title of The Wedding, it’s evident that director Justin Zackham believes the idiom that bigger is indeed better. »

The Big Wedding Review

28 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

An all-star cast fall victim to a shallow, tasteless script in The Big Wedding, the latest in the line of lacklustre comedies to hit cinema screens this year. This one though, which was adapted from the well-received French romantic comedy Mon Frère Se Marie, heralds a new low with its arrival – one that proves that no matter how much money or A-list stars you throw into the mix, if the material isn’t up to scratch, then there’s no point in even bothering.

Divorced couple Don (Robert De Niro) and Ellie (Diane Keaton) are forced to play happily families when they discover that the birth mother of their adopted son, Alejandro (Ben Barnes), will be making the trip to America for his upcoming nuptials  Not only does this alienate Don’s new partner Bebe (Susan Sarandon), but it also sets into motion a chain of events that ultimately forces »

The Big Wedding Review

27 May 2013 3:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Director: Justin Zackham.

Starring: Ben Barnes, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, Katherine Heigl, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams.

Running Time: 89 minutes.

Synopsis: A charmingly modern family try to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full-blown fiasco.

You would think a film starring so many Hollywood legends would have something special about it, right? You would be completely wrong. While the original French film (Mon Frere Se Marie) was well received, The Big Wedding has been lost in translation.

To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don (Robert De Niro) and Ellie Griffin (Diane Keaton) are once again forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son, after his ultra-conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend his wedding. With the guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, »

'The Big Wedding' review: Robert De Niro in lacklustre comedy

27 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Director: Justin Zackham; Screenwriter: Justin Zackham; Starring: Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams, Amanda Seyfried, Susan Sarandon; Running time: 89 mins; Certificate: 15

Despite an A-List line-up, The Big Wedding feels small in many ways. One can only assume there was a big fat paycheck involved for the likes of Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon and Diane Keaton to negotiate a script with such lack of ambition, laughs and insight. But then, the runtime does force them to drag out a story that could have been ripped from a sitcom.

The desperation is evident early on when Ellie (Keaton) lets herself into the home of ex-husband Don (De Niro) and is forced to endure the spectacle of his head disappearing up the skirt of his second wife Bebe (Sarandon). To make the situation ickier, it gradually becomes apparent that Bebe was once Ellie's best friend, but they've somehow managed to stay on amicable terms. »

Celebrate Return of the Jedi's 30th birthday with this short film

25 May 2013 12:32 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Happy Return of the Jedi day everyone! May 25th might not have the same ring to it as the 4th, but today marks 30 years since the original Star Wars trilogy ended with the release of Jedi in 1983.

Now that's a movie poster.

Entertainment Weekly asked Kyle Newman (director of Fanboys, a comedy road movie about a group of friends trying to see Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace) to make a short film, collecting a few famous faces to offer their thoughts on Jedi. He managed to get Kevin Smith (Clerks), Seth Green (Family Guy), Jaime King (Sin City), Topher Grace (Spider-Man III), Eli Roth (Hostel), Jason Mewes (Clerks II) and band Fall Out Boy. Pretty impressive.

You can watch all ten minutes of The Return of Return of the Jedi here (EW's video doesn't allow embeds), but you can also watch its Dagobah-themed trailer below:

The Big Wedding – review

23 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Precious little joy is on offer about in a marriage comedy about divorced parents who must get back together for their son's big day

Weddings can often be occasions of trauma, as well as joy, and so it proves with this ensemble comedy. Well – minus the joy, that is. Adapted with tin ear and cack hands from a French farce, Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton star as divorced parents of adoptive son Ben Barnes. When he gets engaged to Amanda Seyfried (again playing a bride-to-be wrangling parents), he wants his birth mother to be at the nuptials. But she's a devout Catholic, and so De Niro and Keaton must pretend to still be married, despite his having shacked up with Susan Sarandon years back (a grisly early scene involves Keaton interrupting kitchen-table oral sex). Adding insult to injury are a subplot about sibling Topher Grace's unexplained vow of premarital chastity, »

Return Of The Jedi 30th Anniversary Doc by Kyle Newman

23 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

This Saturday marks the 30th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. To help celebrate the occasion, Fanboys director Kyle Newman made a great short documentary called The Return of Return of the Jedi: 30 Years and Counting. It includes interviews with Seth GreenKevin Smith, Chris Hardwick, Jaime King, Topher Grace, Fall Out Boy, Eli Roth, and Jason Mewes.

Return of the Jedi was the one Star Wars film I got to see on the big screen when it was originally released. I remember going to the local Drive-In theater with my parents, and I remember how much I loved it! That's one of my earliest movie going experiences that I remember. 

Check out the fun documentary for yourself over on Entertainment Weekly. They don't have an embeddable video at the moment. When you're done watching, let us know about your first experience with Return of the Jedi! »

Though many Star Wars fans probably are aware, maybe there are some out there who don't know that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Return of the Jedi, the conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy.
