| Here's Where Your Favorite New 'Star Wars' Characters Got Their Names Posted: 21 Dec 2015 09:30 PM PST Star Wars has given us a number of iconic characters over the years, and most of them are paired with an equally memorable name. With some, you don't even have to say the whole thing for anyone to know who you're talking about. Obviously that's true of Artoo and Jabba but even the real-world names Luke and Leia are most synonymous with the twins from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now we have more wonderful characters with great names thanks to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and some of them have very cool and interesting origin stories. We'll probably hear more about these names as we learn more about the characters, as the series continues. For now, here's more neat trivia to add to your ongoing conversations about the hit new sequel... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| See How 'Jurassic World' Congratulated 'Star Wars' on Crushing Its Box Office Record Posted: 21 Dec 2015 08:00 PM PST Ever since Star Wars moved ahead of Jaws in domestic film rentals, we've been treated to these amusing images whenever a big film breaks a major record. Since there's always a film that held that particular record prior to it being beat, occasionally we'll see studios send amusing mash-up images congratulating the new record holder. Most of the time these images involve Star Wars movies, though we did see it earlier this year when Jurassic World topped The Avengers' opening weekend record at the box office. Of course Star Wars: The Force Awakens turned around and beat Jurassic World's opening of $208 million this past weekend (see all the records the movie broke here), prompting Jurassic producer Frank Marshall to tweet this image. Cheers to... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| A Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide for Movie Fans Posted: 21 Dec 2015 06:30 PM PST Buying gifts for a movie fan is tough. Not only do you have to deal with anticipating someone's tastes, but most tend to actually buy their own movies. But fret not! You can still surprise the movie fan in your life this holiday season thanks to our patented Movies.com Last Minute Gift Guide. Not only are all of these movies available online or in a store, but everything here released within the last three months, which should reduce the chance the person you're buying for already owns it.

| 'Star Wars' Excitement: John Boyega Surprises Fans, President Obama's Enthusiasm and More Posted: 21 Dec 2015 03:00 PM PST Just over three years ago, Disney acquired Lucasfilm and promptly announced that more Star Wars films would be forthcoming. So it's safe to say that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been anticipated by fans for years. But what about the actors who appear in the new film? John Boyega wasn't even born when the original trilogy hit theaters and has only been acting for a few years, initially making a strong impression in the terrific British creature feature Attack the Block in 2011. He gives a very good performance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and went out of his way to share his enthusiasm with fans by showing up, unannounced, at screenings in New York City over the weekend. He shared three videos of his NYC appearances on his Instagram account: video.instagram... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

Following its massive record-breaking haul over the weekend, it's safe to say that many people still have Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the brain. Disney and J.J. Abrams did a great job preserving the film's mysteries and surprising reveals, but now that it's in theaters we're hearing about the little things most everyone missed. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi's cameo. Yes, Obi-Wan (both the older and younger versions) is in the movie, albeit briefly and in voice only. There's also a cameo from Yoda, as well as the Empire Strikes Back version of Luke Skywalker. All of their voices can be heard during the scene where Rey touches Luke's old blue lightsaber for the first time. As she's bombarded with...

| Posted: 21 Dec 2015 12:00 PM PST John Wick 2: Sixteen years ago, Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne teamed up for The Matrix, as well as two sequels and now they've been reunited for another sequel, John Wick 2. Reeves, who stars as a retired assassin, shared a photo from the set; we don't yet have confirmation of what character Fishburne is playing. [Twitter via Collider] Section 6: Dan Mazeau, whose credits include Wrath of the Titans (above), has been hired to write a new draft of a screenplay for Section 6, a spy thriller that will be directed by Joe Cornish (Attack the Block).
