| Posted: 14 May 2015 11:00 PM PDT Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Will we ever have a gas shortage like the one in the Mad Max movies? Nerdist has the scientific answer: Here's a sweet Mad Max: Fury Road poster designed by Jerome Lu courtesy of Fandango: If Marvel ever does make a Black Widow movie, especially one directed by Brad Bird, there's already an opening credits sequence (via Live for Films): Cosplay of the Day: Andy Rae has already got the ball rolling on Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad style Harley Quinn (via KamiKame): CineFix's Art of the Scene series offers up a peep at the shower scene from Psycho: This 1978 cover of Starlog magazine focused on Steven Spielberg and...

| The Geek Beat: 10 Geeky Movies To Scratch That Post-Apocalyptic Adventure Itch Posted: 14 May 2015 10:00 PM PDT With Mad Max: Fury Road hitting theaters this week, the future certainly looks bright – but that's what happens when an apocalyptic event transforms the world into one big desert full of scorching sunlight and roving marauders. But seriously, it's a good time to be a fan of post-apocalyptic drama and high-octane automobiles, isn't it? Anyone who grew up during the glory days of Mel Gibson's run as “Mad” Max Rockatansky can attest to a period when it seemed like every other movie on the local video store's shelf was a brutal, gritty wasteland adventure that set a lone, stoic hero against impossible odds in an unforgiving land. The flood of Mad Max clones abated after a few years, but here and there the occasional films set in a world ravaged... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Summer of Horror: Here Are 5 Scary Movies To Put on Your Radar Posted: 14 May 2015 09:00 PM PDT Welcome to The Last Horror Blog, a biweekly column about all things horror. While the summer season is still dominated by big-budget superhero films and action extravaganzas, horror has quietly crept its way into the season over the course of the past few years. Thanks to the success of The Conjuring, Hollywood’s now willing to throw genre fans a few bones well before Halloween rolls around, and this year’s docket is fairly packed with genre offerings. The upside is that fright fans will get lots of opportunities to be scared in the multiplex over the next few months. The potential downside is that not all of these films will be hits – but we genre fans forever hold out hope. With that in mind, here are the biggest fright flicks headed your way during...

| RUMOR: 'Ender's Game' Star Asa Butterfield Is Your New Spider-Man Posted: 14 May 2015 08:23 PM PDT According to Latino Review, Asa Butterfield (Ender's Game, Hugo) has been chosen to become the new Spider-Man, with the character getting set to make his big-screen comeback as a younger high school-aged Peter Parker next year in Captain America: Civil War, and then in his own solo movie in 2017. Multiple reporters from Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that Butterfield is a top contender, but state that no offer has been made to him yet. So take all of this with a grain of salt. Remember, Spider-Man is now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to a groundbreaking deal between both Disney (who own Marvel) and Sony (who own the film rights to Spider-Man). As part of that Spidey deal, expect the following: -- The next stand-alone... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| DVD Obscura: The New Indie and International Movies You Need to Watch Posted: 14 May 2015 07:30 PM PDT New Indie: Two of 2014’s most acclaimed indies were horror films, which is unusual enough, but they were also both directed by women, a sadly all-too-rare occurrence in the industry. But great reviews and a female director aren’t the only things that A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (Kino Lorber) and The Babadook (IFC Midnight/Scream Factory) have in common. Both films are creepily atmospheric, drawing on traditional horror tropes (vampires in A Girl, the thing in the closet for Babadook) but taking them into new and exciting areas. They’re also both being offered in snazzy Blu-ray special editions: The Babadook features a short film by director Jennifer Kent along with pop-up packaging, while A Girl Walks Home at Night offers graphic novels and several extra...

| The New 'American Ultra' Posters Join This Group of Far-Out Stoner Movies Posted: 14 May 2015 06:00 PM PDT It's surprising with how topical and popular marijuana currently is (recreational use of it is now legal in multiple states!) that we don't see more stoner movies in theaters. That looks to be changing with the emergence of American Ultra, starring Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg as two stoners whose lives are uprooted when they learn the government wants to wipe them out. Of note: The film was written by fan-favorite Max Landis (Chronicle). Here are the movie's first two posters, along with an image. And in case you didn't think they'd be leaning into the stoner thing too much, well... American Ultra is due in theaters on August 21, and the presence of these images leads us to believe its first trailer isn't too far...

| Samuel L. Jackson to Yell at 'The Blob' in New Remake Posted: 14 May 2015 04:30 PM PDT Samuel L. Jackson has been the first person cast in the new update of The Blob, and with this news comes our first sense of how the story will be updated for the modern age. THR says Jackson will be playing a biochemistry professor who is trying to figure out how to stop the increasingly massive monster, but more importantly they've revealed this detail: The blob is "discovered deep within the earth." In the original 1968 film, the purple people eater simply came from outer space via a meteorite. In the incredible 1988 version, the blob is a man-made organism that accidentally crashes to earth. But this new take turning the blob into something ancient means that there will probably be a bit of an environmental bend to the movie. After all, we know cold...

| Interview: Director George Miller Answers All Your Big 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Questions Posted: 14 May 2015 03:00 PM PDT You'd never expect a gloriously deranged movie like Mad Max: Fury Road to come from a sweet, soft-spoken 70-year-old Aussie, but that's what you get with George Miller. He's a nice guy with some crazy ideas, and we couldn't wait to pick his post-apocalyptic brain for more details on one of the year's best action movies. We sat down with the brilliant mind behind all four Mad Max movies and talked about everything from the way he constructs his fierce, unrelenting world to that crazy blind guy who plays a fire-breathing electric guitar. What's the deal with that guy, anyway? Find out below. 5 Questions That Help Set Up Mad Max: Fury Road 1. What would you call this film? A sequel? A reboot? Miller: "I like to call it a...

| Watch the Long-Lost Short Film George Lucas Had Made For 'Empire Strikes Back' Posted: 14 May 2015 01:30 PM PDT When Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back hit theaters in 1980 a very special short film played in front of it in select theaters around the world. This wasn't just a fleeting five minute cartoon or anything like that, either. Black Angel was a robust, lushly photographed 25-minute film commissioned by George Lucas himself with the express purpose of showing audiences something they normally wouldn't see in a theater (aside from Star Wars itself, that is). In the thirty years since Empire Strikes Back, however, there has been no easy way to actually watch Black Angel. The original negative for the film, directed by Roger Christian (who won the Oscar for Best Art Direction for the first Star Wars), got lost and thus wasn't included on the various VHS or DVD...

| Movie News: First Look at Elle Fanning in 'The Neon Demon'; 'The Craft' Is Getting a Remake Posted: 14 May 2015 12:00 PM PDT The Neon Demon: The first look at Elle Fanning in The Neon Demon is quite glamorous, which is entirely intentional. She stars as an aspiring model who is "devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women." Nicolos Winding Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives) is directing, so we can expect an unsparing look at the scene in Los Angeles. Jena Malone, Christina Hendricks, and Keanu Reeves also star. [TwitchFilm] The Craft: Supernatural horror movie The Craft will be remade by Sony Pictures, which has set Leigh Janiak (last year's well-received thriller Honeymoon) to direct a new version; she will also co-write the script with Honeymoon partner Phil Graziadei. The original starred Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True as Catholic... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
