Watch: ‘Life After Pi’ Examines The Broken System That Bankrupted Rhythm & Hues By Angie Han/Feb. 26, 2014 12:00 pm EST There’s something ironic about the fact that the better visual effects are, the more difficult it can be to notice them at all. At the top level, talented VFX artists create imagery so seamlessly lifelike that the average moviegoer isn’t even aware that the fantastical creatures and majestic landscapes they’re watching were painstakingly crafted on a computer, not captured in reality....

‘Byzantium’ Trailer: What Horror, To Be Sixteen Forever By Russ Fischer/May 21, 2013 3:45 pm EST Byzantium may be the year’s ultimate horror movie, because it is about a girl who is sixteen years old forever, and I can’t think of many things more horrible than spending eternity in that transitional phase.Saoirse Ronan plays a woman who appears to be young, but in fact is a vampire, and has been since she was sixteen… which was a couple hundred years ago....

‘Community’ Gets Animated In Season Five Promo By Russ Fischer/Dec. 21, 2013 7:00 am EST Community has played with episodes that dive into various genres and even some media that is atypical for a sitcom. There’s the animated battle in ‘Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism,’ for starters, but the wildest example was in the stop-motion season two episode ‘Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas.’ For the fifth season, which premieres in January, there won’t be an animated Christmas episode or any Christmas episode, for that matter....
‘Django Unchained’ International Trailer: Getting Dirty With Brand New Footage By Angie Han/Oct. 23, 2012 9:30 am EST At this point, it feels like we’ve seen more trailers for December’s Django Unchained than we have for a lot of October and November releases. Not that I’d think of complaining, when they’re all this much fun. The latest international trailer remixes some of the same footage we’ve already seen, but offers enough new scenes to give us a fresh angle on the personalities and motivations of the main players – Django (Jamie Foxx), Dr....

‘The Act Of Killing’ Trailer: Confronting True Horror Through Cinema By Russ Fischer/May 23, 2013 3:00 pm EST Today Anwar and other death squad leaders have not been tried as criminals; rather, they hold positions of some social standing. The Act of Killing features their full cooperation. It invites the death squad leaders to recreate their actions as genre movies — westerns, musicals, and so on — and in so doing bring their past back to life....
‘The Monuments Men’ Trailer: “How Can I Help You Steal Our Stolen Art?” By Russ Fischer/Oct. 10, 2013 4:41 pm EST There’s a hell of a lot of great stuff in this second trailer for The Monuments Men.

Cool Stuff: Joshua Budich’s 6 X 6 Art Including Fictional Food By Germain Lussier/June 6, 2014 2:00 pm EST When you collect as much art as I do, you appreciate the little things. Literally. The smaller the piece, the better, so I can fit it on my wall. For others though, a small piece might be just the thing because it can show off your pop culture fandom without being too gaudy....
Daniel Craig To Star In ‘The Whole Truth’ For Courtney Hunt By Angie Han/Jan. 30, 2014 7:00 am EST Daniel Craig’s last film, Skyfall, was his most successful yet, grossing $1.1 billion at the global box office and drawing some of the strongest reviews in the history of the 007 franchise.

Doug Liman In Talks To Adapt New Philip Reeve Book ‘Railhead’ By Russ Fischer/April 23, 2014 6:00 am EST Doug Liman directed Edge of Tomorrow for Warner Bros., and the studio is evidently happy with the film. How do we know? Because WB has just set Liman to direct an adaptation of a forthcoming young adult sci-fi tale, the new Philip Reeve book Railhead.

Honest Trailer For ‘World War Z’ Plus Marc Forster Discusses Original Ending By Germain Lussier/Sept. 18, 2013 4:00 pm EST While many people despise the CinemaSins “Everything Wrong With” videos for being overly nit-picky and mean, it’s damn near impossible to argue with the Screen Junkies “Honest Trailers.” These serve a similar function, making fun of a well-known movie by pointing out its flaws. The tone is lighter and observations smarter, making the videos funnier and more, well, honest....
