Madonna, Director, Sets ‘Adé: A Love Story’ As Her Next Film By Angie Han/March 26, 2014 5:30 am EST Madonna’s first feature directorial effort, Filth and Wisdom, was panned by reviewers and audiences.

The romantic drama has some mildly interesting pedigree going for it, at least....

Video: ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Visual Effects Breakdown By Germain Lussier/April 11, 2014 10:00 am EST Fans so regularly look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe as one huge entity, it’s easy to forget the effort that goes into each individual film. Yes, the narratives tie together and characters jump between films, but the #1 rule at Marvel Studios is make each movie good on its own. They’re not always successful to the same degree, but it’s hard to deny how each new installment raises the bar both in terms of scope....

‘All Is Lost’ Trailer: Robert Redford Alone Against The Elements By Russ Fischer/Aug. 1, 2013 2:48 pm EST We don’t see a lot of actors doing solo pieces on film. It takes guts to be the only person projected on a screen for 90 minutes. But in All Is Lost, Robert Redford plays a sailor whose boat collides with an abandoned shipping container, wounding his ship and setting him up for a very difficult time at sea....

‘Barefoot’ Trailer: Evan Rachel Wood Inspires Yet Another Aimless Dude By Angie Han/Dec. 9, 2013 3:30 pm EST There’s something magical about Evan Rachel Wood, or so the movies would have you believe.

‘Despicable Me 2’ Trailer And Poster: Guess Who’s Back By Angie Han/March 19, 2013 10:30 am EST What the earlier Despicable Me 2 teaser trailers lacked in information, they made up for in cuteness. The puffy yellow minions were all over those, performing “Barbara Ann” and investigating otherworldly visitors. Now a full-length trailer has arrived, and while it’s not quite as adorable (that’s just what happens when you shift focus away from the minions), it tells us far more about what this movie actually is....
