While you weren't paying attention, Jared Leto was touring the world and playing rock and roll for hundreds of thousands of rabid fans. Except he doesn't like the word "fan," because he finds it insulting. Thirty Seconds to Mars, the band Leto fronts, doesn't have "fans," they have a "family."
"We do a lot of interviews and all these people keep asking us about you," Leto said to the crowd at the New York stop of the Church of Mars show, an aptly titled string of dates during which the band plays in churches. "It's great because I think a lot of bands don't get asked about their ... 'fans'. People sort of scratch their heads and don't really seem to get it. Which is funny, because I think all of you understand what a family is."
To say Thirty Seconds to Mars has been overlooked isn't quite true given the »

Usually when someone is described as “polarizing” it means that sensible people think they’re awful and foolish saps think they’re the greatest. Other times, it can be a matter of acquired taste, someone who seems weird and unlikeable at first and then over time, as you begin to understand what they’re about, becomes more interesting and cool. In other cases, people people’s impressions can be forever tinged by what their first exposure to someone is, and they refuse to change their minds, instead steadfastly clinging to their original conclusion because thinking differently is too much work.
I say all this because I think a sizeable contingent of the public has gotten Kristen Stewart entirely wrong. The first moment she seized most people’s attention was as Bella in Twilight, which developed a specific reputation for her as a person and as an actor, and she has »

Last year's "Snow White and the Huntsman" went on to become a modest hit at the box office and a massive hit in the tabloids -- and in 2015, it'll be back for more.
It was announced Tuesday at CinemaCon that the live-action "Snow White" is officially on track to receive a sequel in two years, SlashFilm reports. "Snow White and the Huntsman 2" had been planned since the original film's release, but after last year's tabloid fodder, in which title star Kristen Stewart had a sordid affair with married director Rupert Sanders, the sequel was reportedly tabled in favor of a spin-off that would center on Chris Hemsworth's character and not involve Stewart at all. The studio then backtracked on that plan, tossing Sanders aside and keeping Stewart in the lead role.
No word has surfaced yet as to who will direct the film -- or who will write it, »

Imagine that for one night only, criminals could do whatever they wanted -- steal, rape, kill. Once a year, they can legally commit all sorts of heinous acts. That's the logic-defying premise of “The Purge,” in which crime is at an all-time low in the United States thanks to this 12-hour holiday for crooks and criminals. As Ethan Hawke explains to his son in a new trailer, “Tonight allows people a release from all the hatred and violence that builds up inside them.” Hawke's father character, James, has created a “Panic Room”-type barrier for his entire house to keep his wife (Lena Headey) and kids safe. “Everything is going to be Ok,” he assures them -- which, of course, means it's not. When his son (Max Burkholder of “Parenthood”) lets in a beaten-up stranger, the situation quickly turns dangerous when a bloodthirsty gang demands his release so they can exact their “purge” on him. »

G.I. Joe sequel tops global box office, boasting the year's no. 1 debut around the globe Here's definitive proof that audiences the world over have an insatiable thirst for Good Movies, Good Stories, and Good Acting: director Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation, "2013's first blockbuster" in the words of distributor Paramount, opened with a remarkable $132 million at the worldwide box office -- the year's top weekend debut. (Pictured above in all their glory: six-packed D.J. Cotrona shirtless, Top Hunk Channing Tatum, and Big Bear Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock in the Magic Mike sequel, huh, in Gay I Joe -- er, in G.I. Joe: Retaliation) As found in The Hollywood Reporter, studio vice chairman Rob Moore remarked that the $130 million-budgeted action flick's 3D conversion and reshot sequences got it "to a great place," which helps to explain the film's international success. Said "great place" has a worse-than-mediocre 21% approval »

The Tall Man, 2012.
Directed by Pascal Laugier.
Starring Jessica Biel, Jodelle Ferland, Stephen McHattie, Jakob Davies, William B. Davis and Samantha Ferris.
Synopsis:
After her child is abducted a mother sets out to discover the truth behind The Tall Man, a local myth believed to be responsible for a wave of kidnappings.
Following the brilliant-but-harrowing Martyrs you could be forgiven for entering into director Pascal Laugier’s The Tall Man with a certain set of expectations regarding its methods. While the two films may share a similar goal, Martyrs used violence to disturb and comment on its audience while The Tall Man’s aim is to pose questions and inspire introspection, all while subverting genre expectations.
It initially seems as if Laugier’s nature has been curbed into conventional territory as the film begins with a beaten and bloody woman (Jessica Biel) receiving news of her child’s disappearance before jumping back thirty-six hours. »

Alfred Hitchcock isn’t just “The Master of Suspense,” he’s one of the trail-blazing and more influential filmmakers who was active in the twentieth century (if not the most influential). Hitch was immortalized in last year’s cinematic memoir Hitchcock, but his impact carries on in the present and can be observed through the stylistic choices, themes and stories explored by many a working director today.
The ‘Hitchock style’ has been reflected throughout numerous films released this century, including select works produced by such auteurs as David Fincher (Panic Room), Woody Allen (Match Point) and, of course, Brian De Palma (Femme Fatale). Similarly, over that same period of time, there have been several movies released which feel like Hitchcock films – only “re-imagined” and repackaged for modern audiences.
In honor of National Hitchcock Day, we’re counting down five ...

I'm a huge fan of spider cinema, and I'm not talking about superhero silliness. I mean flicks like Tarantula (1955), The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo (1977), Kingdom of the Spiders (1978), Arachnophobia (1990), Spiders (2000), Eight Legged Freaks (2002), and a dozen others you've probably never even heard of. Like most people, I have a natural wariness of spiders, but like most horror fans, I love to see the creepy little buggers wreak havoc safely within the world of movies. Of course sometimes the spiders aren't so little, and that's when I know I'm dealing with a flick I'll probably enjoy.
Simply put: one of the most entertaining things about movies is that they can deliver funny stuff that you'd (hopefully) never see in real life, stuff like a giant spider wreaking havoc across Los Angeles as it skewers screaming people with its spindly legs and wraps other victims up in webbing and swallows them whole. »

When terrorists take down the White House (code name “Olympus”), a disgraced Secret Service agent attempts to rescue the president of the United States in Olympus Has Fallen, an electrifying and inspired action thriller from acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day).
A small group of heavily armed, meticulously trained extremists launch a daring daylight ambush on the White House, overrunning the building and taking President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and his staff hostage inside an impenetrable underground presidential bunker. As a pitched battle rages on the White House lawn, former presidential security officer Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) joins the fray, and finds his way into the besieged building to do the job he has trained for all his life: to protect the president – at all costs.
Banning uses his extensive training and detailed knowledge of the presidential residence to become the eyes and ears of Acting President Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) and his key advisors. »

Radcliffe and Stewart pose with Oscar winner Rick Carter Kristen Stewart and Daniel Radcliffe -- Bella S. and Harry P. have finally joined forces -- presented production designer Rick Carter with this year's Oscar for Best Art Direction for his work on Steven Spielberg's historical drama Lincoln. (Jim Erickson was the set decorator.) The film was vying for 12 Oscars, but ended up winning a mere two: besides Carter's the other statuette went to Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis. Among the Lincoln losers were director Spielberg, producer Kathleen Kennedy, Best Supporting Actress nominee Sally Field, Best Supporting Actor nominee Tommy Lee Jones, and screenwriter Tony Kushner -- at one point a favorite to win the screenplay award. (Pictured above are Stewart and Radcliffe, accompanied by Carter. Make sure to scroll down for more Stewart images on the Oscar red carpet.) Carter had already received an Oscar for his work on James Cameron's 2009 sci-fier Avatar, »

El Gringo, 2012.
Directed by Eduardo Rodriguez.
Starring Scott Adkins, Christian Slater, Yvette Yates, Petar Bachvarov and Zahary Baharov.
Synopsis:
A man crossing into Mexico with a satchel of $2,000,000, and a bloody past, finds himself under sudden attack in the sleepy town of El Fronteras.
Joel Silver has lent his name to some of the most memorable action blockbusters of the last thirty years, including Lethal Weapon and The Matrix. Normally, or at least back in the day, a Silver pic would mean a big budget and plenty of spectacle. In the last year, Silver put his name to a collection of lower budget action films, which despite very limited theatrical releases in the Us, were basically made as straight to DVD. These included Dragon Eyes with Jean Claude Van Damme and Stash House with Dolph Lundgren, as well as El Gringo with up and coming action man Scott Adkins.
