Special Features - Star Trek Into Darkness: The Failure of Fan Service

6 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Anghus Houvouras on Star Trek Into Darkness and the failure of fan service (warning, major Star Trek Into Darkness spoilers follow)....

Fan service.  It’s an act of appeasement.  An effort to try and satisfy the fan base of a particular franchise while trying to do your own thing with it.   The truth is, fan service is an anchor.  A cinder block chained to the neck of a property that weights it down and prevents it from becoming something original.  Star Trek is a franchise with deep roots that runs back nearly five decades.  When they decided to relaunch Star Trek, there were radical departures made to try and separate the old from the new.  I was a big fan of the rebooted Star Trek because director J.J. Abrams and his creative team weren’t afraid to reconfigure the formula.  The sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness is weighed down by »

Billy Zane's Fresh Artistic Endeavor

17 May 2013 7:15 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

Billy Zane, best known for slipping a blue diamond onto Kate Winslet in Titanic and slipping himself into a purple onesie in The Phantom, has spent the last 15 years slowly and successfully slipping into the art world.

This weekend his paintings will be included in Fresh Canvas' latest benefit, in support of The Cancer Support Community-Benjamin Center, as Comedy Central's Jack Herrguth is honored with the 2nd Annual Gilda Award. Zane spoke with ETonline about the important event, the double-edged sword of being a hyphenate and living his best life.

ETonline: How did you come to partner with Fresh Canvas?

Billy Zane: It came through a dear friend of mine, a wonderful artist named Janet Roberts, a four-time cancer survivor. We co-created and collaborated on this idea of Fresh Canvas and did a joint show together last year -- now we're expanding to include more artists. I'm so happy to be a part of it because »

5 Movie Mistakes Caused By CGI

17 May 2013 5:22 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Computer Effects have always been a staple of cinema. In the 60s, several independent films gave a shot at producing realistic monsters and effects. When Star Wars came about in the 70s people were spellbound by the Lasers and Lightsabers and all the other goodies George Lucas and Industrial Light and Magic brought us. Since then CGI has taken cinema to new worlds and shown us new events that we could only dream of.

Perhaps the greatest advancement in the world of film in recent years has been the improvements made to Computer Generated Images. Michael Bay has stood atop the box office with a money net almost entirely on the basis that he can bring an extravaganza of special effects to his films. James Cameron gave grace and nightmarish detail to the sinking of the Titanic and lush and spellbinding beauty to the world of Pandora in Avatar. George Lucas »

Leonardo DiCaprio: 'The Great Gatsby' star's 5 best movie roles

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

While the critical response to Baz Luhrmann's lavish take on The Great Gatsby has been lukewarm, reviews have by and large praised Leonardo DiCaprio's central turn as the mysterious, tragic Jay Gatsby.

Digital Spy looks back on five of DiCaprio's most iconic performances.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

At the tender age of 19, DiCaprio earned his first Oscar nomination for Lasse Hallström's touching family drama. Playing the mentally retarded younger brother of Johnny Depp's put-upon Gilbert Grape, DiCaprio was deservedly singled out for praise by almost every critic despite being a virtual unknown. It's an intensely likeable and physically specific performance that elevates an otherwise predictable story.

The Basketball Diaries (1995)

Adapted from Jim Carroll's autobiographical novel, Scott Kalvert's drama tracked a high school basketball star's descent into drug addiction. The film debuted to decidedly mixed reviews, but again DiCaprio came out largely unscathed, with Rolling »

Pictures: Proof Leo Doesn't Age

15 May 2013 5:40 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Leonardo DiCaprio is still getting those leading man roles, 16 years after he won our hearts in the epic romance 'Titanic' as artist Jack Dawson.

As the American actor arrived in the South of France at Cannes Film Festival 2013, to premiere his latest big-budget film 'The Great Gatsby', we noticed the Hollywood heartthrob just isn't ageing.

The 38-year-old has kept his youthful good looks, and since his 2006 film 'Blood Diamond' he doesn't seem to have changed at all... well apart from some new facial hair.

Take a look through the pics of him from 2006-2013 below, what do you think his secret is?

'Resurrection': Omar Epps leads ABC's haunting new drama

14 May 2013 4:57 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

An 8-year-old boy turns up, seemingly out of nowhere, in a field in China. An immigration agent learns where the boy lives and brings him home to his parents -- who believe their son died more than 30 years ago.

Yet here he is, looking just the same as he did the last day he was alive.

That's the jumping-off point for ABC's new series "Resurrection." The drama stars Omar Epps ("House") as the immigration agent, Martin Bellamy, and Kurtwood Smith ("That '70s Show") and Frances Fisher ("Eureka," "Titanic") as Harold and Lucille Garland, the parents of the suddenly alive again Jacob (Landon Gimenez). The Garlands won't be the only residents of their Missouri town to have this kind of experience -- other people's loved ones soon start to return as well.

"Resurrection" is based on the novel "The Returned" by Jason Mott and was adapted by "Damages" and "The Killing" writer Aaron Zelman. »

Gatsby Opening Weekend B.O.: Ahead or Behind Titanic?

13 May 2013 7:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Leonardo DiCaprio The Great Gatsby movie box office: DiCaprio’s second biggest opening ever — but trailing Titanic in ticket sales The Great Gatsby movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel earned $50.08m at the North American box office this past weekend, including $3.25 million from late Thursday night showings, according to weekend box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Despite mostly poor reviews — The Great Gatsby has a 32% approval rating and 5.6/10 average among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics — the Baz Luhrmann-directed take on the love story between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan’s Daisy Buchanan far surpassed the expectations of both distributor Warner Bros. and box-office pundits. In fact, The Great Gatsby trailed only Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man 3, which collected $72.52 million at the domestic box office this past weekend. (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby.) Partly thanks to 3D surcharges and a strong female contingent of ticket-buyers, »

Leonardo DiCaprio: Could anyone else have been Jay Gatsby?

13 May 2013 2:40 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The Great Gatsby didn’t take down Iron Man 3 at the box office, but its $51.1 opening weekend was significantly higher than analysts predicted. Audiences — heavily adult and female — were likely drawn to Baz Luhrmann’s surrealistic re-imagination of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel and the film’s hip anachronistic soundtrack, but it’s no secret what really sold this movie: “Three little letters,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. head of domestic distribution. “L-e-o.”

Gatsby’s strong debut was a reminder that Leonardo DiCaprio is a Hollywood superhero — even if he’s never played one on the silver screen. »

Cannes Honcho Thierry Fremaux Is Hollywood’s Inside Man

13 May 2013 7:57 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

When Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” raises the curtain on the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, it will serve, among other things, as an indication that the love affair between the festival and Hollywood is alive and well — much more than the last time Luhrmann opened Cannes, 12 years ago, with “Moulin Rouge.” Back then, relations between Cannes and Tinseltown had hit something of a low, with few studio films of the late ’90s making the trek to the Croisette (“Beyond Rangoon,” anyone?). When he joined Cannes in 2001, festival director Thierry Fremaux was immediately tasked by fest president Gilles Jacob with a peacemaking mission to the West Coast, and the decade since has been one of the richest for le cinema Americain on the Riviera — even if the biggest Cannes-launched Oscar winner of recent years was a French production: “The Artist.”

As opening night draws near, I asked Fremaux to reflect on »

One Direction's Big Surprise

12 May 2013 9:25 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

One Direction fans were in for a surprise at the boy band's weekend show in Berlin.

The UK teens did an impromptu performance of Celine Dion's 1997 hit, "My Heart Will Go On," in the middle of their set of 1D songs. The boy band performed the song, which was originally recorded for the film "Titanic," to a packed crowd of screaming fans -- take a look in the video above.

Made up of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson, One Direction has performed covers of hit songs before. The group did a rendition of the Backstreet Boys track "I Want It That Way" at a recent show in Stockholm and recorded a cover of Blondie's "One Way or Another" to benefit a charity event.

One Direction is currently in the midst of an international tour, making a stop in Las Vegas next week to »

Box Office Brawl: 'Iron Man 3' Outduels 'The Great Gatsby'

12 May 2013 9:13 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

It was a near run thing, but in the end "Iron Man 3" proved to be too powerful even for "The Great Gatsby," as Film.com is reporting the Marvel superhero epic took in an estimated $72.5 million in its second weekend to win the box office crown again.

Still, director Baz Luhrmann has to be pretty happy with the performance of "The Great Gatsby," which outpaced expectations to the tune of a cool $51.1 million. Looks like "Titanic" star Leonardo DiCaprio apparently still has his period piece magic.

Of course, all that success and excess came at a cost, and it was the new comedy "The Peeples" paying the price, as the Craig Robinson vehicle earned just $4.9 million in its debut.

6 Films Critics And Moviegoers Disagree On

12 May 2013 1:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

For the most part, film critics and moviegoers tend to agree on what makes a great film. Several of the movies on IMDb’s Top 250 list (not the perfect way of measuring a film’s quality, but a solid system nonetheless) are also Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Since film criticism is based on opinion, it should come as no surprise that there are certain films that the two parties disagree on. In some cases, a film could be critically acclaimed and even see Oscar glory, but the audience hates it. Other times, moviegoers flock out of the theatre saying “that was Awesome!” only to find that their favorite critics loathed what was on the screen. This list examines some of these cases.

Note: I am not going to use box office returns as a measurement for this article. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen may have made millions of dollars, »

Gatsby to Become DiCaprio's Second Biggest Debut Weekend Ever?

11 May 2013 8:51 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Leonardo DiCaprio The Great Gatsby movie weekend box office: DiCaprio’s second biggest opening ever? (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, with Carey Mulligan) Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic 1920s novel. A risky move? Well, if so, it has clearly paid off. Although The Great Gatsby will not top the North American box office this weekend, it’ll land in a remarkably (and surprisingly) strong second slot. (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby movie adaptation, with Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan.) Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man 3 will easily lead the domestic box-office charge with approximately $65-70m, after plummeting 71% on Friday, compared to the previous week. True, opening-day Friday also included the box-office take from Thursday late night showings, but, for comparison’s sake, The Avengers was down 64% during that same time frame. »
