Relive Eight Years Of ‘Dexter’ In Just Four Minutes By Angie Han/Sept. 19, 2013 4:00 pm EST After eight bloody seasons, Showtime’s Dexter finally comes to an end this weekend. They haven’t been totally smooth sailing for our favorite serial killer. The past several years have put him through one shock after another, when all he wants to do is dispatch bad guys in peace. Nor has it been easy for viewers....

According to Moviehole, Kick-Ass 2 will see both Mindy/Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) and Dave/Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) reeling from the consequences of having their identities revealed to the wrong people:...
Star Wars Bits: Watch The 1978 Holiday Special, Plus Han Solo’s Expensive Blaster, And Tim Curry By Russ Fischer/Dec. 27, 2013 8:00 am EST One of Han Solo’s original blasters just sold at auction for $200,000. At that price, it’s a wonder the Rebellion can afford to compete with the Empire. No wonder all their gear was second-hand. More info on that after the break, along with: Tim Curry is rumored to be back as a voice on Star Wars Rebels, If you’re already ready for next Christmas, Spike has a chorus line of Xmas stormtroopers, But no holiday-themed Star Wars footage can compare to the awful grandeur of the original Star Wars Holiday Special, which you can watch below, if you dare....

The winner of the Narrative Audience Award at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Circumstance was picked up by Roadside Attractions and set for limited release on August 19.

Superman, Jean Grey By Germain Lussier/April 21, 2014 3:30 pm EST Want to see new Marvel portraits from the Mike Mitchell Mondo show? Does Patrick Stewart think he’ll be back for X-Men: Apocalypse?

Superhero Bits: The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, Flash, Superman, Olly Moss By Germain Lussier/Nov. 22, 2011 11:00 am EST Is a famous actress making a cameo in The Dark Knight Rises? What happened to a lost Superman story from 2003? Did Gary Oldman reveal anything about the end of The Dark Knight Rises? Who is that masked man swinging through the streets as The Amazing Spider-Man? And what is Olly Moss doing drawing Batman?...
Transformers 3 Set Photos By Peter Sciretta/June 21, 2010 3:13 pm EST JustJared.com has posted a few images from the set of Transformers 3. Michael Bay is shooting at Playa Vista in Los Angeles, for a scene which has Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox’s replacement Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson and some military troops being chased by an evil Decepticon, who… (possible spoilers follow after the jump) … tips over a building. They built one floor of an office building, and using two huge hydraulic jacks, they lift the platform to a tilted angle....
VOTD: Justin Long’s ‘Back To The Future’ Quiz By Germain Lussier/Oct. 31, 2013 9:00 am EST Briefly: Odds are if you’re reading this site, you consider yourself a film fan. It’s the passion that binds us. Sometimes, though, we forget the people we’re fans of are fans too and another fantastic example of that just came online. MTV interviewed Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Dodgeball, Accepted, Live Free or Die Hard) and, because Long claimed he was a big Back to the Future fan, quizzed him on his knowledge....
WGA Rewards ‘Her’ And ‘Captain Phillips’ By Angie Han/Feb. 2, 2014 9:20 pm EST In the original screenplay category, Spike Jonze beat out the likes of David O. Russell and Woody Allen to pick up a prize for Her. That bodes well for Jonze on Oscar night, as the list of Oscar nominees perfectly matched the list of WGA nominees this year. A more unexpected result is Billy Ray’s adapted screenplay win for Captain Phillips, but that doesn’t really make him the Oscar favorite....
Why Do A Lot Of Mockbuster Titles Begin With The Letters A, B, C Or D? By Peter Sciretta/July 31, 2013 10:40 am EST Have you ever noticed that a lot of those crappy mockbuster movies have a title that begin with the letters A, B, C or D? Me neither, but now that Gizmodo mentioned it, it does seem a bit strange. Find out the answer after the jump....
‘12 Years A Slave’ Trailer: Chiwetel Ejiofor Is Robbed Of His Freedom By Russ Fischer/July 15, 2013 5:30 pm EST The new film from director Steve McQueen (Shame, Hunger) is based on the true story of Solomon Northrup, a free black man who was kidnapped and held as a slave for over a decade. In 12 Years a Slave, Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Northrup, and we see his horrific journey and what amounts to years of imprisonment as a slave as he is tormented by captors and owners....
‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ Plans New YouTube Series By Angie Han/Sept. 22, 2014 6:00 am EST America’s Funniest Home Videos basically became obsolete the moment YouTube was invented. People no longer had to go through a bunch of TV producers to share or watch homemade clips of dads getting hit in the balls; they just had to click a few buttons on YouTube. Nevertheless, America’s Funniest Home Videos has endured to become ABC’s longest-running primetime show....
‘Carrie’ Trailer: Kimberly Peirce Gives Chloë Grace Moretz The Prom From Hell By Angie Han/April 4, 2013 6:07 pm EST A couple generations after Brian de Palma first brought it to the big screen, Stephen King’s Carrie is getting a new cinematic interpretation this fall by director Kimberly Peirce.

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ International Trailer By Russ Fischer/April 25, 2012 11:30 am EST Cinemacon delivered a new trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation earlier this week, and now a new international trailer features a great deal of new footage. It’s pretty much entirely big, cheesy stuff in which the betrayed Joes battle the devious forces of Cobra with high tech and charming brawn, the latter courtesy of The Rock and Bruce Willis....
‘Knights Of Badassdom’ Gets 2014 VOD Release; Watch The Teaser By Germain Lussier/Dec. 13, 2013 11:30 am EST Briefly: The long, fascinating, yet disappointing tale that is Knights of Badassdom will soon come to an end. Originally directed by Joe Lynch, the film got huge buzz after a Comic-Con 2011 panel only to run into major investor issues and be wrestled out of the director’s hands. Lynch all but disowned the new version of the film, which sat on a shelf for two years before getting U....
‘Nebraska’ Spoiler-Free Video Review By David Chen/Nov. 23, 2013 7:19 pm EST I’ve always found Alexander Payne’s work to be challenging, funny, and heartfelt. His newest film, Nebraska, is no exception. After receiving Cannes’ Best Actor prize for Bruce Dern’s performance as Woody Grant, Nebraska is now out in limited release. It’s a beautiful, understated film and worth your time if you’re interested in a darkly funny, deliberately paced character study....

‘White House Down’ Trailer #2: All The Action And Explosions You’d Expect From Roland Emmerich By Germain Lussier/May 2, 2013 4:45 pm EST The first trailer for White House Down was exactly that: down. It had a very somber feel, almost like the movie was a drama with action elements. Now a second trailer for this summer’s Roland Emmerich blockbuster has been released and it goes for the opposite feel. There’s huge action, great character interaction, and, of course, the destruction of several Washington DC landmarks....
Angelina Jolie To Direct Elephant Poaching Pic ‘Africa’ By Angie Han/Sept. 19, 2014 2:00 pm EST Skydance Production has just signed Jolie to helm Africa, scripted by Oscar winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump) based on the true tale of paleo-archaeologist Richard Leakey. Hit the jump for more about Angelina Jolie directing Africa. Depending on how things go, this could mean we’ll have dueling elephant poaching dramas in the nearish future. Warner Bros....
CG Magic Will Allow Jamie Foxx To Play Young Mike Tyson By Russ Fischer/July 30, 2014 3:00 pm EST It is inevitable that Mike Tyson would punch his way to the big screen. Too bad the delivery method won’t be a film based on Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out (hey, it could happen) but a standard biopic will probably draw a crowd, too. Now just such a project is under way, and Jamie Foxx is set to play Tyson....
