3 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
Chris Columbus (above) can now add novelist to his skills roster. The Goonies writer and director of Home Alone and two Harry Potters has his first novel out, House of Secrets, a young-adult book co-written with Ned Vizzini. Starting as a screenplay, it turned into a novel because there was not “enough money on Earth to turn it into a film”. »

"Dads leave, you don’t have to be such a pussy about it." – Tony Stark, 'Iron Man Three'
Greetings from the apocalypse! Free Comics? An "Iron Man" sequel that doesn't suck? Genre festivals, eccentric painter docs and serial killer biopics? Have I been irradiated and gone to heaven? Nope, it's all happening man, it's all happening …
Friday, May 3
Pow! In Theaters
As a raving fan of Shane Black and Robert Downey Jr.'s first collab, the neo noir comedy "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," I had hoped that this director/star combo would hit it out of the park with "Iron Man Three." Well, frankly, Shane hit it out of the park and into the stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, etc. Pulpy, groovy, bang-up fun, this is the best cinematic iteration of ol' shellhead yet, and while Joss Whedon got the quipy part right in "Marvel's The Avengers," this one perfectly balances »

10 Terrible Films Made By The Goonies Cast
27 April 2013 3:14 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Goonies is a well loved children’s movie from the 80′s about a group of kids who go on a wild adventure after they kind a treasure map. The Goonies features early performances from well-known actors such as Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and Corey Feldman.
The Goonies has become something of a classic movie and the actors have gone on to make some other excellent movies… And some not so good movies. Both blockbuster hits and limited released films ranging from failed comedy, drama and action, The Goonies cast members have done some poor movies in their respected careers.
Here are just ten examples of such…
10. Josh Brolin- The Mod Squad and Jonah Hex
One day in the late 90’s some studio executive had the idea to reboot The Mod Squad. It starred future television celebrities Omar Epps, Claire Danes and Giovanni Ribisi, an actor who has not yet managed to get famous. »

Jurassic Park Oral History Reveals How Jim Carrey And James Cameron Almost Got Involved
5 April 2013 6:22 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Steven Spielberg.s Jurassic Park started stomping back into theaters on Thursday with an upgraded 3D print stretched to fit IMAX screens. Both formats seem tailor-made for the director.s larger-than-life digital dinosaur creations, which were impressive 20 years ago and remain spectacular to this day. Even more interesting, however, is the history of the project, which has been documented in a thrilling new read by EW.com. Right off the bat, before Spielberg, producer Kathleen Kennedy and the cast and crew start opening up, we learn that Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies) and James Cameron were potential directors for the gig. Imagine how awesome a Cameron adaptation of Michael Crichton.s bestseller might have been? It.s such a great read, and a wonderful companion piece to Park if and when you go this weekend. Here are a few bullet points I loved while perusing this oral history: - Nicolas »
The successful career paths of 7 Hollywood child stars
2 April 2013 2:47 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Odd List Np Horton 3 Apr 2013 - 05:30
With the arrival of Spring Breakers imminent, Nick looks at seven former child stars who've gone on to enjoy film careers as grown-ups...
Making a name for yourself while young is definitely an appealing way to get into the acting business, for pushy parents and wannabe stars alike. The pros are obvious – fame and fortune at a young age, established links with the industry, and an early chance to make your mark. But for many, being a child star is the only thing they know, and once adulthood comes around, there goes the career.
Options can become limited once you’ve gone past your cute sell by date (just ask Macaulay Culkin), so is it any wonder that Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson have decided to explode their child star image by starring in boundary pushing and very adult Spring Breakers? »

Sean Astin Reminisces About 'The Goonies,' Sloth and Being an '80s Child Star
8 March 2013 9:35 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
So many of us associate lovable actor Sean Astin with Samwise Gamgee of "The Lord of the Rings" fame, that we forget he was the lead child actor in '80s classic "The Goonies." Remember his adorable awkwardness and brace-face?
Moviefone caught up with Astin as he was heading to Toronto for Comic-Con, and we spoke about why "The Goonies" has never become uncool, whether Sloth was ever scary to him and being a child star in the '80s. Oh, and we also discussed that little "Lotr" trilogy.
Moviefone: This is great. I watched "The Goonies" all the time when I was growing up.
Sean Astin: Tell your parents I said sorry.
No way! They loved it too. I bet you watch with your kids.
I do, and they love it. Except I have to say, they are a bit scared of Sloth.
We all were!
[Laughs] Oh, I know. »

Great Behind-The-Scenes Shots From Donner’s Classic ‘The Goonies’!
3 March 2013 4:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Surely everyone loves settling down with a classic film and they don’t come much better than the 1985 Richard Donner classic, The Goonies. None other than Chris Columbus penned the screenplay and now we’ve unearthed some great behind-the-scenes shots from the film full of quotes, great memories and the legendary truffle shuffle.
We’ve also discovered proof that Michael Jackson did meet up with Chunk but not to use the bathroom but to hunt for treasure on that pirate ship, what a legend! Have to love a little in-world joke that was surely a late edition to the script. So enough waffle, scroll down for those shots (plus a little behind-the-scenes video with Data) starring Corey Feldman, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen, Josh Brolin, Jon Ke Quan and Martha Plimpton among others and remember Goonies never say die!

8 Junior Versions of Other Movies
26 February 2013 7:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Okay, so here's a movie pitch for you: Take a group of mismatched friends, send them out for an evening of drunken revelry and then watch the hilarity ensue when they try to figure out just what the heck they did. Guaranteed hit, right?
But we're not describing the plot of "The Hangover" — we're actually describing the plot of the upcoming teen comedy "21 and Over," which is basically exactly like "The Hangover" except, you know, with college students in it.
"21 and Over" is hardly the first film to blantly remake another movie, book or play for a teenage crowd; it's actually a longstanding tradition in Hollywood. So in honor of "21 and Over's" brazen replication, here's a closer look at it and six other films like it.
1. "Easy A:" We love 2010's "Easy A," mostly because it's the film that turned Emma Stone into the superstar she was always meant to be. »
