‘3 Days To Kill’ Trailer: Kevin Costner Is A Family Man And A Hitman By Angie Han/Jan. 30, 2014 11:00 am EST 2014 is shaping up to be a busy year for Kevin Costner.

‘A Field In England’ Teaser: A Psychedelic Grindhouse Collage By Russ Fischer/June 24, 2013 12:30 pm EST As we’ve said before, Ben Wheatley is among the most interesting genre directors working right now. Kill List was a wild thriller, but also a fantastic explosion of ideas of masculinity and impotence; Sightseers is a fantastically funny, bloody comedy that also plays with the extreme results of frustrated creative impulses. His next film is A Field in England, a fairly small production about a few guys who flee the front lines of the English Civil War in the mid-1600s....
‘Amour’ Review: Michael Haneke’s Palme d’Or Winner Transforms Pain Into Joy By Germain Lussier/Nov. 13, 2012 11:39 am EST Michael Haneke’s latest film Amour (aka Love) is probably the saddest happy movie ever made. It tells the harrowing story of an elderly couple’s long time love for each other and how their bond is tested when one of them falls incredibly ill. Depressing? More than you can imagine. But Haneke’s realism and the unbelievable performances of his leads, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, somehow takes terrible pain and transforms it into an affirmation of life....

‘This Is The End’ Co-Director Evan Goldberg Has Some Sequel Ideas By Angie Han/June 26, 2013 10:30 am EST [Spoilers for This Is the End follow.] Any studio movie that’s remotely successful is bound to give rise to sequel talk. Some films are easier to follow up than others, though, and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s This Is the End seems particularly challenging. Not only does it finish with the end of the world (duh), it features such a pitch-perfect closing sequence that it’s tough to imagine how the pair might possibly try and top it....

Vince Gilligan and his stars have been dancing around the big spoilers for months now, and at least one is getting tired of keeping all these secrets to himself.
