‘Dallas Buyers Club’ Trailer: Matthew McConaughey’s Renaissance Continues By Angie Han/Aug. 27, 2013 8:12 am EST Matthew McConaughey had quite the year last year, but 2013 isn’t looking so bad, either. Following up another impressive turn in Jeff Nichols’ Mud, he’ll next be starring in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, and then Dallas Buyers Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. At the center of the story is Ron Woodroof, a Texas man diagnosed with HIV in the early days of the disease....

‘Fading Gigolo’ Trailer: John Turturro Brings Sexual Magic To The Lonely By Russ Fischer/Jan. 9, 2014 2:00 pm EST Is it weird to watch Woody Allen working as a self-styled pimp, given his own, er, unusual sexual history? Maybe so, and perhaps that just makes this new trailer for John Turturro’s film Fading Gigolo more, er, striking. I keep waiting for the whole thing to be revealed as an extended dream sequence, given that the plot has the Normal Guy played by Turturro turning into a $1000-per night gigolo thanks to the efforts of his pal, played by Allen....

I tend to disagree with Ehrlich most of the time, but even Todd McCarthy calls it “the best feature film directed by someone named Coppola in a number of years....

‘Simpsons’ Expansion Now Complete At Universal Studios Orlando By Germain Lussier/Aug. 27, 2013 7:00 am EST One of the biggest mysteries in the long running history of The Simpsons is the location of Springfield, the characters’ hometown. While the show’s creators have given hints over the years, it’s safe to say that, as of last week, at least one version of Springfield is in Orlando, Florida. For the past few months, Universal Studios Orlando has been slowly opening a whole new section to their park....

LOL: Mr. Freeze Sings ‘Let It Go’ From ‘Frozen’ By Germain Lussier/Jan. 27, 2014 3:00 pm EST Most people think Let It Go, the melodic ballad from Disney’s blockbuster hit Frozen, has the inside track to win the Best Original Song Oscar. It’s catchy, beautiful and has crossed over into the mainstream in a way most movie songs fail to do. However, that also means people want to take it down a peg and YouTube user 2chinTV does just that with this video featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr....

Short Film ‘Truth In Journalism’ Brings A Fan-Favorite Marvel Character To Life By Russ Fischer/July 31, 2013 2:23 pm EST Realistically speaking, the best way to see the 17-minute short #TruthInJournalism would be to just happen across it without knowing what was up. But if we presented it that way, almost no one would watch it. (And, in truth, the title of the embed below will give it away.) So I’m striking a middle ground between giving it to you cold and giving away all the secrets within....

Stephen King’s ‘IT’ Could Be Next For ‘True Detective’ Director Cary Fukunaga By Germain Lussier/Feb. 11, 2014 1:00 pm EST Based on Sin Nombre and Jane Eyre, film fans knew director Cary Fukunaga was a talent. Unfortunately, not everyone saw those movies. That’s not the case with HBO’s True Detective, a show he’s both producing and directing. Huge audiences are watching that show and realizing this guy is one of the best young directors out there today....
