We Rank the Geekiest Movies of 2014

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 09:30 PM PST

Another year is in the rearview mirror, and along with it go 12 months of memorable, forgettable and occasionally controversial movies. With the new year kicking off this week, it’s time for the Geek Beat to take one last look back at 2014 and recall some of the highlights from a year that was certainly an interesting one for Hollywood and movie fans alike. While this year didn’t feature the sort of predictable blockbusters we’ve had in years past (i.e., The Avengers or Man of Steel), it did feature quite a few films that defied expectations with an impressive haul at the box office — and a few that failed to convert critical approval into ticket sales. Rather than simply rank my 10 or 15 favorite movies of 2014, I thought it might be more interesting to...

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 08:00 PM PST

Movies are one of America's biggest exports. If you look at the 2014 box office totals for most foreign countries, you're bound to find the "top 10" really doesn't look all that different from a list of the most popular American movies. Most countries' lists are stacked with movies like Transformers: Age of Extinction, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Interstellar and Rio 2. However, every year there are movies that become huge hits overseas that never even make it to American shores. That's why we went through Box Office Mojo's databases country by country to find out what titles managed to actually compete with the likes of The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy to earn spots in their respective top...

This New Art Reveals All Kinds of Cool Things About 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 06:30 PM PST

It should be no surprise to you that one of the biggest and most anticipated movies of 2015 is the Avengers sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron, which lands in theaters on May 1, officially kicking off the summer movie season. As we ready ourselves to see how Marvel follows up the third highest grossing movie of all time, a bunch of new promo art for the film has arrived online, giving us a fresh look at two of the film's newest characters: Vision (Paul Bettany) and the villain, Ultron. One of the more interesting bits of info come in two character profiles on both Vision and Ultron, which explain their origin stories and, in turn, help flesh out the plot a little more while also connecting Ultron's beginnings to the fallout from the end of the last Avengers movie. They...

See the Crazy Masks Anthony Hopkins Almost Wore in 'The Silence of the Lambs'

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 04:20 PM PST

Michael Myers had his modified William Shatner Halloween mask, and Jason Voorhees got his goalie mask in the third Friday the 13th movie. Some screen villains are just synonymous with the things they put on their face. Hannibal Lecter, the cannibal killer in The Silence of the Lambs, spends most of his time looking relatively normal (save for Anthony Hopkins’ creepy eyes), but he does don a mask at one point in the film when he’s in restraints and on a sort of dolly gurney. That image has become famous over the years, but we bet you probably didn’t know that director Jonathan Demme actually went through a bunch of variations before settling on the one featured in the film. The good folks at Criterion gave us a sneak peek at some of the rejects, which you can...
