| Today in Movie Culture: The Original Ant-Man, 'Star Wars' Toys That Won't Fit In Your Home and More Posted: 20 Jul 2015 11:00 PM PDT Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Vintage Summer Movie Preview of the Day: Was 1982 the best summer for movies? It looks that way in retrospect looking at this sneak preview of the season's offerings of 33 years ago, but let's remember that a lot of these releases, such as Blade Runner and Tron were box office disappointments. Vintage Image of the Day: Garrett Morris as Ant-Man in a Saturday Night LIve sketch beside Dan Aykroyd as The Flash. It's because of this sketch (watch it here) that Morris got a cameo in the new Ant-Man movie. Easter Eggs of the Day: In addition to the Garrett Morris cameo in Ant-Man, Mr. Sunday Movies humorously points out all the Marvel, Disney and...

| Move Over 'Sharknado,' the Backstreet Boys and 'NSync Are Making a Zombie Apocalypse Movie Posted: 20 Jul 2015 08:15 PM PDT It has never been easier to be a bad movie and still have people excited to watch you. The Asylum has perfected this business model, churning out no-budget hits again and again, with the Sharknado franchise being a jewel in their poorly rendered CGI crown.

And as the Sharknado franchise proves, combine once big pop culture icons with some nonsense plot and the audience will show up in record numbers. And so now The Asylum is planning a zombie apocalypse movie featuring members of '90s sensations the Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync...

| James Horner Secretly Wrote 'The Magnificent Seven' Score Before His Death Posted: 20 Jul 2015 06:30 PM PDT Oscar-winning composer James Horner died unexpectedly in June when his plane crashed, leaving behind not just an incredible legacy of film music, but apparently a few surprises. One of Horner's final completed scores was for Antoine Fuqua's boxing drama Southpaw, which hits theaters this week. It may not actually be his last, though. Horner had already committed to doing the score for Fuqua's next movie, the currently-filming remake of The Magnificent Seven. Apparently Fuqua got an emotional surprise recently when it was revealed that Horner, fueled by inspiration after reading the script, had secretly written the score before his fatal crash. Speaking to NPR [via JamesHorner-FilmMusic.com], Fuqua broke the news during an emotional segment when talking about... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

Here is the latest update on all you need to know regarding that galaxy far, far away: Luke Skywalker Approves of Amy Schumer Trainwreck star Amy Schumer appears in a Star Wars-inspired photo spread for GQ magazine this month, and some of the photos are a lot more sexual than you'd expect to see C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca and a lightsaber involved in. It should be obvious to everyone that Disney and Lucasfilm had nothing to do with the parodic images, but the latter had to make an official statement (and tweet) to assure fans they didn't "authorize/approve, participate or condone the...
