13 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Put on your armor and take up your swords, fairy tale fans! "Snow White and the Huntsman" hits theaters today bringing you an edgy adaptation of the classic enchanting story.

In the film, Kristen Stewart plays the title character who gears up for battle against the evil Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron). With the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) and her childhood love William (Sam Claflin) at her side, she attempts to reclaim the kingdom that is rightfully hers.

For those of you who haven't already preordered tickets, here are five reasons to see "Snow White and the Huntsman."

Because It Turns A Classic Into An Epic

As kids, everyone remembers watching "The Lion King" or "Aladdin" while lying on bed sheets that display the characters' faces. The stories from our youth become so magical we believe wishing upon a star will make all of our dreams come true. As we grow older »

Before 'Kingdom' Came: A History of Wes Anderson at the Box Office

30 May 2012 9:13 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

This past weekend, Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" defied all expectations to post a stunning $522,966 gross over the three-day frame to shatter the record for the highest per-theater-average of any live-action or independent film ever: $130,749. That number tops the $126,316 "Dreamgirls" averaged back in 2006, which had previously held the record and had been aided by extra-pricey tickets ($25) for its special "roadshow engagements" prior to wide release. The tickets for "Moonrise" were the same price as any other film in release, making its new record all the more impressive. The only films that posted higher averages than "Kingdom" are eight Disney animated films (led by "The Lion King," which holds the overall record), each of which screened in massive theaters (or even Radio City Music Hall) with high ticket prices. So essentially, "Moonrise Kingdom" has the highest average ever for a »

Broadway's 'Death of a Salesman' topped $1 million at the box office last week

29 May 2012 2:44 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

In a rare feat for a non-musical on Broadway, Mike Nichols’ acclaimed revival of Death of a Salesman grossed just over $1 million last week, according to figures released by the Broadway League. The hit show, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as Willy Loman and Andrew Garfield as his wayward son, Biff, set a new record for the 1,036-seat Barrymore Theatre. What’s even more remarkable is that Salesman scored at the box office despite playing only seven performances (most Broadway shows are mounted eight times per week). The production isn’t exactly a dime a dozen, to quote one of Biff »

Mike Longmore – Under The Ice Album Review

29 May 2012 4:45 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

The folk music scene comes with many preconceptions. The first is the notion that the music consists of whimsy filled songs about a distant farm once tended to by the singer. The second is the notion that the music consists of mournful songs about a long lost love far across the sea. A third being that to class yourself as a credible folk/acoustic act you must possess an array of hats, an over the top bushy beard and have spent 8 years in an abandoned forest where you whittled your guitar out of tree sap.

Despite seemingly only in possession of one hat, no hair and a guitar he bought in a shop it doesn’t stop Mike Longmore, an folk artist, from entering not only a credible entry with his self produced album ‘Under The Ice’, in spite of not having ‘all clichés folk’ in his locker, »

"Game of Thrones" Recap: "That's Your Gate He's Ramming!"

28 May 2012 6:09 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Happy Fleet Week, errybody! Stannis (Stephen Dillane) and his men approach King's Landing, and I think that they have more than The Lion King on Broadway followed by shots at Dave & Buster's on their minds. It's very quiet, aside from the sounds of men vomiting into barrels below deck:

My kind of party! Seriously, though - if I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: Margaritas and seamen do Not mix.

Oh, and Ser Davos (Liam Cunningham) and his son blah blah blah Happy Father's Day.

Over in King's Landing, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Shae (Sibel Kekilli) lie in bed while their amazing wallpaper does all the work. He's afraid, and she won't let them hurt him. What is her deal, anyway? Apparently he's wondering the same thing, because he notes, "You can't f*ck your way out of everything." Before I can counter this claim, she points »

Animated films have a good future here: Jaaved Jafferi - Realbollywood.com News

Mumbai, May 24: Actor Jaaved Jafferi, who attended the special screening of animated movie "Arjun: The Warrior Prince", says he sees no reason why animated films cannot work in the country.

"This mentality that Indians have that animated films are only for kids is very wrong. Animated films are high-grossing films at the box-office, be it 'The Incredibles', 'Jungle Book' series, 'The Lion King',. »

‘Finding Nemo 3D’ Trailer – Will This Be Andrew Stanton’s 2012 Hit?

22 May 2012 10:02 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Disney’s been busy on the 3D re-release front. First came the double feature return of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Then came the successful 3D run of The Lion King, followed by Beauty and the Beast and announcements for The Little Mermaid and Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo. While there was a short teaser early this year, Disney just released a full-length trailer for the heartwarming return to the screen for Marlin and Dory.

Written and directed by Andrew Stanton, whose John Carter only made just over $72 million domestically this year, we wonder if this re-release will actually surpass that sci-fi blockbuster. Disney’s re-release of The Lion King made nearly $95 million last fall in the states, while the same 3D re-do of Beauty and the Beast made around half of that earlier this year. If this release falls somewhere in the middle, it could certainly »

First Full-Length Trailer for Finding Nemo 3D

22 May 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

After getting a nice little teaser for the re-release of Finding Nemo in 3D at the start of the year, the film’s first full-length trailer has made its way online to reintroduce you to the 2003 film that took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

The film is the second of the four films Disney and Pixar announced they’d be re-releasing in 3D after the success of The Lion King 3D. Beauty and the Beast was the first, and Finding Nemo will follow later this year.

After that, we can look forward to seeing Mike, Sulley, and Boo in three dimensions in Monsters, Inc. 3D early next year, and finally (so far) The Little Mermaid 3D towards the end of next year.

Andrew Stanton (Wall-e) and Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3) shared directing duties, with Stanton co-writing the script with Bob Peterson (Up) and David Reynolds (The Emperor »

The Full-Length Trailer for 'Finding Nemo' 3D Theatrical Re-Release

21 May 2012 5:39 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Since the great success of The Lion King hitting theaters in 3D last fall, Disney quickly announced the return of 2D animated films like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid planned for re-release, along with Pixar's hit films Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo also getting a 3D theatrical re-release. A brief teaser hit at the beginning of the year, but now the full-length trailer for the fall return of Marlin and Dory on a cross-ocean journey to find the former's lost clownfish son Nemo has hit, and it brings back all sorts of warm feelings about this Pixar treasure. This should be quite an experience to have in 3D for the first time. Watch the theatrical trailer for Disney's 3D re-release of Pixar's Finding Nemo, originally via Yahoo: Finding Nemo comes from those geniuses at Pixar and is co-directed by Andrew Stanton (Wall-e, A Bug's Life) and Lee Unkrich »

Geek Gifts: Awesome Movie/TV T-Shirts Inspired by Studio Ghibli, Superman, Breaking Bad, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Tron, and a Lot More

21 May 2012 5:28 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

A few days ago, I posted an awesome Loki figure from The Avengers made by Hot Toys.  It was the first "Geek Gifts" article in a long time and I mentioned that the response to the post would determine if we'd continue the column.  Let's just say it was a success.  So, as promised, it's time for another "Geek Gifts" article and this one is especially relevant for those that like cool t-shirts. If you've ever seen my video interviews, you know I love wearing t-shirts.  I especially love wearing shirts that are inspired by my favorite movies and TV shows.  Recently, a friend turned me onto a company called RedBubble, and they let their users submit their own designs and some of them are pretty great.  Since I know a lot of you don't have the time to go through the thousands of reader submissions, I've done the legwork for you. »

The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 21st May

21 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

After last week’s brilliant new releases in the home entertainment market, headed up by Steve McQueen’s Shame and Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (I bought them both on Blu-ray, the latter in HMV’s exclusive steelbook special edition), this week sees another great slew of titles for us to add to our collections.

As ever, we have not just the brand new films and TV shows making their way to shelves for the first time, but also single-disc Blu-ray editions (which we’re increasingly seeing within a few months of the Double / Triple Play versions), and a host of films getting the HD treatment, released on Blu-ray for the first time, with Disney releasing a handful of old titles in the visually beautiful format.

Stay tuned for next week (and be sure to get your pre-orders in early), which will see Chornicle, Coriolanus, Martha Marcy May Marlene, »

Early Box Office: 'The Avengers' Sinks 'Battleship'

19 May 2012 10:10 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"Battleship" has been sunk by "The Avengers."

On Friday night, the adaptation of the once-popular board game earned just over $9 million at the box office, well behind the $15.3 million grossed by "Marvel's The Avengers." That slow start means the costly "Battleship" will finish in a distant second when final numbers are tallied on Sunday. According to Deadline.com's Nikki Finke, "Battleship" could cruise to around $26 million for the three-day frame, a disappointment considering the film's reported $200 million price tag.

"Battleship" is the second big-budget film starring Taylor Kitsch to stumble out of the gate in the last two months; in March, the "Friday Night Lights" star opened "John Carter" to underwhelming returns as well. That film -- which cost at least $250 million -- grossed $30 million during its first weekend on its way toward only $77 million in North America. Internationally, "John Carter" earned just over $200 million.

"Battleship" is already ahead of »
