Poll: Which movie has the best car chase scene?

9 hours ago | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »

 

It’s all about feeling the need for speed and putting the pedal to the metal!  With the sixth instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise speeding into theatres, we’re looking back at some of our all-time favourite chase sequences on film.

From the Steve McQueen classic Bullitt featuring some of the most heart-pounding chase scenes up and down the steep streets of San Francisco to the racing Mini Coopers in 1969’s The Italian Job, we’re big fans of old school racing.  Of course, there’s room for some modern cars and tricked out rides in Gone in Sixty SecondsQuantum of Solace, and the movie that started it all, 2001's The Fast and the Furious.

 

You’ve got a green light to cast your vote for the movie with the best chase scene(s) in our poll on the next page! »

Fox Announces Their First Ever Event Series Wayward Pines

14 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

During Fox‘s Upfront presentation yesterday, they announced that they are jumping into the realm of “event series”. Although they aren’t providing a definition, the inference is that, one, it will be short season, what we used to call half seasons but are more and more becoming the norm, based on successful cable models of 8-12 episodes; and two, they will be standalone seasons/series, based on the model of Fox‘s cousin FX‘s American Horror Story.

The benefits to viewers are pretty great. These shorter seasons are usually broadcast without a break, and there are no unresolved cliffhanger endings and no “but how will they do this next season?” or “save our show!” or “this show is getting stale” grumbling, because we know ahead of time when the season/series will be over.

Fox‘s first foray (they later announced the event series 24: Live Another Day »

Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images

14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.

Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.

Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

Photos/Videos Of M. Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines, J.J. Abrams’ Almost Human And Thriller Sleepy Hollow From Fox TV 2014 Lineup

13 May 2013 5:22 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

©2013 Fox Broadcasting Co. Cr: Fox

On Monday Fox unveiled their primetime slate for the 2013-2014 television season to the national advertising community during its annual Programming Presentation at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The network announced 5 new comedies, 4 new dramas, a first event series, and an animated comedy from Seth MacFarlane.

Some of today’s most inventive directors working in film have smoothly segued from motion pictures to series TV and their new shows have found a home at Fox. What caught my attention were the sci-fi, fantasy shows bearing the names of Abrams, Shyamalan, Kurtzman and Orci.

Among the network’s lineup is M. Night Shyamalan’s new event series Wayward Pines. Set to premiere in 2014 and based on the best-selling novel, “Pines,” by Blake Crouch, Wayward Pines is an intense, mind-bending thriller in which nothing is what it seems. Also on the Fox schedule is the »

Actors that should have played James Bond

8 May 2013 12:39 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

For the last 50 years, the James Bond franchise has produced some of the best action / adventure movies in cinema and those that were fortunate to land the role of James Bond have went on to become icons of film. Casino Royale has the distinction of being one of the top casino movies of all-time and other films such as Goldfinger and Dr. No, and others are considered cult classic.  Daniel Craig has certainly made the role of James Bond his own, but there are some other actors that we would love to see take on the role of 007.

Jason Statham

The star of films such as The Transporter, The Italian Job, Crank, War and The Expendables has that perfect balance of rugged good looks and kick ass fighting skills that you would want out of James Bond.  Who needs suave when you can beat a man to death with his »

'Can't Hardly Wait': What the gang's been up to since graduation

26 April 2013 2:03 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Newsflash: Simon Cowell is supposedly interested in booking Jennifer Love Hewitt to replace Britney Spears on The X Factor next season. Yes, that Jennifer Love Hewitt.

On the surface, this idea seems, well, sorta nuts. Despite five recent-ish seasons of Ghost Whisperer, Hewitt hasn’t been particularly relevant since her Party of Five days, and her brief early-aughts singing career was unmemorable at best. (Though you’ve got to admit, “BareNaked” is still pretty catchy.)

Dig a little deeper, though, and suddenly the rumor starts making a weird kind of sense. Hewitt’s certainly as famous as, say, Paula Abdul »

10 Movies That Deserve Prequels

25 April 2013 2:48 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

In a world that celebrates new songs sung over the music of past hits, there is nothing that better portrays the loss of originality than the Hollywood phenomenon of the remake and prequel.  Production companies love capitalizing on the success of original films by making and selling the idea of what could have happened before that led to the original.  There are lists and lists of the worst prequel’s in history including Hannibal Rising, Dumb and Dumberer, and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.  You can search for them online and realize that what we have been given to watch is nothing but a paycheck for its producers.

I, however, have come up with a few movies that deserve prequels!  That really and truly would benefit from having prequels because, not only would they be good and integral to their original’s plots, but they would make a lot »

Wally Pfister is pulling together a great cast for his first feature film project Transcendence. Prestige co-star Rebecca Hall has just joined the cast of the film, which also includes Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany.

‘Iron Man 3′ Actress Rebecca Hall Joins Johnny Depp in ‘Transcendence’

4 March 2013 3:31 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister (whose credits also include The Italian Job and Moneyball) is steadily assembling a cast together for his directing debut Transcendence. The self-described present day science-fiction film revolves around a scientist (Johnny Depp) whose consciousness is uploaded into the experimental supercomputer of his own design.

Paul Bettany (voice of Jarvis in the Iron Man and Avengers movies) was confirmed as a supporting player just last week, right after Alcon Entertainment announced a 2014 release date and confirmed Depp’s casting. Today, the studio continues its strategy of keeping the film in the headlines, by revealing that Rebecca Hall has snagged the female lead role.

Hall appears opposite Bettany (well, okay, his voice) in Iron Man 3 this May. She is playing the role of Maya Hansen, a scientist and important side ...

28 February 2013 1:30 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Johnny Depp is now confirmed as the star of Wally Pfister’s debut film as director, Transcendence.

His first film as director, sees a scientific couple working on the world’s first self-aware computer. Unfortunately those bloomin’ terrorists are out to ruin everyone’s fun again, and so the husband has to be ‘uploaded’ into the computer. Thus, transcending his mortal confines.

The script is by Jack Paglan and the film is currently looking for a female lead with the likes of Rooney Mara, Emily Blunt and Rebecca Hall rumoured as being up for the part. As the film is still in pre-production, no release date has been set just yet. »

Diamond 'heists' are not glamorous, they're nasty crimes by nasty people | Stephen Kelly

20 February 2013 9:15 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The glossy Hollywood spin of films like Ocean's 11 has removed us from the reality of robberies such as the one in Brussels

It says something about the cultural resonance of film when Monday's £30m theft of diamonds from Brussels airport wasn't condemned as an act of criminality or something that, doubtlessly, left innocent people traumatised with the experience of being threatened by masked men with machine guns. It was a glamorous heist, obviously. You know, just like the ones George Clooney does in his spare time.

Perhaps it is, simply, how we (and the media) make sense of senseless things: to stamp them with a glossy sort of Hollywood narrative. Yet there is something about the enduring "glamour" of this particular narrative – the calculated criminality of the heist story – that has hooked us in since the film noir The Asphalt Jungle laid down the blueprint for the genre in the 1950s. »
