Malcolm McDowell Heads Up Cast Of ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’ Remake By Russ Fischer/April 5, 2012 9:00 am EST In the early ’80s, the horror film Silent Night, Deadly Night caused an uproar, but now it just more remake fodder.

Marvel Unveils First ‘Ant-Man’ Footage [Comic-Con 2014] By Angie Han/July 26, 2014 8:20 pm EST All those production delays meant Ant-Man didn’t go in front of cameras early enough for Marvel to show us Paul Rudd or Michael Douglas in action at Comic-Con. But it wouldn’t be like Marvel to show up to Hall H completely empty-handed, and so they “filmed a little something to show you guys,” as Kevin Feige put it....

New ‘Paddington’ Trailer: The Bathroom Is A Bad Place For A Bear By Russ Fischer/June 12, 2014 9:00 am EST In light of this new Paddington trailer, the recent #creepypaddington meme is even more odd than it was in the first place. (Granted, it was also rather funny.) Because there isn’t anything creepy at all about this footage. Here we see the bear Paddington (endearingly voiced with grunts and gasps by Colin Firth) as he tries to navigate a few of the complexities of modern life....

New ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Footage Reveals Splinter By Russ Fischer/April 13, 2014 8:04 pm EST There’s a tiny bit of new Turtle fight action in this TV spot, but the part of this new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles footage that you’ll probably want to see is the first real look at the rat Splinter.

Almost all of the games derived from the Alien series of films have been action-oriented, but the upcoming Alien: Isolation, for PC, Xbox One and PS4, is (finally!...

Rotten Tomatoes Launching New TV Zone By Angie Han/Sept. 16, 2013 2:00 pm EST Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer is by no means a perfect metric of a film’s quality, but it is a pretty convenient way to get a pulse on the critical buzz surrounding a big-screen project. Now we’ll be able to use that tool on small-screen projects, too. The site announced today that it would launch a separate “TV Zone” section on Tuesday, just in time for the start of the 2013-2014 season....

Watch An Alternate Ending To The Oscar-Winning ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ By Germain Lussier/April 29, 2013 5:00 am EST Did anyone watch Silver Linings Playbook and think, “I want that ending to wrap up even nicer?” It had a very sweet, very appropriate conclusion but that wasn’t always how it ended for director David O. Russell. The Oscar-winning film starring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro hits Blu-ray and DVD April 30, including a bunch of deleted scenes....

Why Did It Have To Be Snakes? First Look Inside The Ark Of ‘Noah’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 25, 2012 1:30 pm EST If you’ve been wondering how Darren Aronofky’s film Noah will hand the whole “ark full of animals” part of the story of Noah, the photo above (seen in full below) will put the question to rest.

‘Bellflower’ Teaser Trailer By Russ Fischer/April 18, 2011 6:19 pm EST Bellflower got a lot of press at Sundance and SXSW this year. It is a very low-budget romance with a sort of apocalyptic bent, and with a badass muscle car as a mascot.

Still, the minute of footage that follows after the break has a lot of attitude, so check it out anyway....
