See Will Ferrell As Boba Fett In Deleted ‘The Internship’ Scene By Russ Fischer/Oct. 22, 2013 6:30 am EST The Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson comedy The Internship seems destined to be one of those movies that a relative just leaves on TV when stumbling across it during one of the holidays, when everyone else is too stuffed full of food and drink to object. But you can possibly thank the film for this deleted scene, in which the character played by Will Ferrell discovers that the whole cosplaying scene is pretty hot, in a “swinging ’70s” sorta way....

VOTD: 50 Movie Spoilers Of 2012 (Oscar Edition!) By Germain Lussier/Feb. 22, 2013 8:00 am EST There are two times in the year when people typically recap the previous year’s movies: At the beginning of the new calendar, and right around the Oscars. The former makes logical sense but the latter works too. It is, after all, the official end of the year in film. When Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director and more are crowned at the Academy Awards, it’s time to move on to the next thing....

‘Rio 2’ Trailer: To Grandfather’s House We Go By Angie Han/Dec. 12, 2013 11:34 am EST But maybe Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) isn’t such a great ornithologist after all, because in Rio 2 it turns out that there are others of their kind out there in the jungle. A whole flock of ’em, in fact. And unfortunately for Blu, that crowd includes Jewel’s dad Eduardo (Andy Garcia) and her handsome ex-boyfriend Roberto (Bruno Mars)....

‘The Call’ Trailer: Halle Berry Tries To Rescue Abigail Breslin By Angie Han/Jan. 11, 2013 4:45 pm EST A good chunk of Hollywood will spend the next several weeks praying to the Oscar gods, but as prestigious as the award is, it’s important to remember that it’s hardly a guarantee of smooth sailing. Halle Berry is living proof of that. Since picking up her statuette in 2002, she’s starred in a few decent films and a whole lot of bad ones....

So is it worth checking out this weekend?...

Check Out A Very Early Outline For ‘The World’s End’ By Germain Lussier/Feb. 10, 2014 5:00 pm EST Edgar Wright’s The World End opened in August 2013. Rewind two years before that to the time when the film was early in development, and he and co-writer Simon Pegg basically had the whole thing figured out.

David Hasselhoff Pretty Sure His Nick Fury Was Better Than Samuel L. Jackson’s By Angie Han/Sept. 14, 2013 1:00 pm EST To many Marvel fans, Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury. Not only has Jackson played the character in five different MCU films over the past five years, the Ultimate version of the character was actually modeled after Jackson — years before Iron Man came out. But there was a time long ago (well, 1998) when David Hasselhoff was Nick Fury....

Can anyone confirm if this is legit? If so it is our first look at the Iron Man armor from Jon Favreau’s upcoming big screen adaption of the Marvel comic book series. Before you jump to conclusions, I’m sure this is a photo of the old school firs suit armor, and not the super advanced armor that Tony Stark will wear for the majority of the film....

By Angie Han/June 26, 2014 2:30 pm EST As for why Watts is so eager to get Singer back, it’s because she feels that “the management of the franchise” was the key to X-Men: Days of Future Past’s success. “[A] big part of it was getting Bryan back [as director],” she explained. In April, Singer was accused of sexually abusing a minor in 1999. Singer quickly and adamantly denied the allegations, but the ensuing legal battle and public controversy led him to drop out of his promotional duties for X-Men: Days of Future Past....
