Posted: 29 Feb 2016 11:00 PM PST

Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for Oscars-inspired movie culture:   Best Oscar Nominee Parodies: From the show itself, here are the hilarious parodies of Joy, The Revenant, The Danish Girl and The Martian featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock:    Best Alternate Ending to an Oscar Win: It's a good thing the bear from The Revenant wasn't actually at the Oscars, because Leonardo DiCaprio's win for Best Actor could have gone more like this [via Above Average]:   Best Oscar Winner Sequel Idea: Speaking of The Revenant, in the sequel Leonardo DiCaprio is apparently miniaturized and this time attacked by a hamster:   Best Use of the Oscar Speech Thank You...

Superhero Buzz: New 'Batman v Superman' Clip, Alternate 'Deadpool' Costume Desgns and More

Posted: 29 Feb 2016 09:01 PM PST

  One superhero movie continues to dominate the box office and arguably the biggest superhero movie of all time is about to hit theaters in a month. Find the latest from both of those plus an update on the next Wolverine solo feature below.   Deadpool In addition to its main character, Deadpool did a great job breaking out the character of Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who is from the comics but wasn't well-known to general audiences. She actually looks a lot different in the movie, with young actress Brianna Hildebrand sporting a shaved head and rather simple goth-girl look then a very team-conforming X-Men uniform for the final battle. The character could have been done more faithful to the page or even more different, as seen in the above...

New 'Alien' and 'Predator' Movies Get Release Dates

Posted: 29 Feb 2016 07:30 PM PST

Today Fox announced that Gambit starring Channing Tatum was sliding off of the 2016 release calendar (though it hasn't announced when the movie will now land). Bummer for everyone curious to see what Tatum will be like as the card tossing Cajun, but Fox does have some good news for fans of two other properties: Alien: Covenant and The Predator have release dates. Here's everything we know so far:   Alien: Covenant Release date: August 4, 2017 Directed by: Ridley Scott Written by: A combo of people that, so far, includes Michael Green (Smallville), Jack Paglen (Transcendence) and John Logan (Skyfall) Starring: Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Demian Bichir, Danny McBride, Jussie Smollet, Amy Seimetz and Billy Crudup What else do we know: It's...

Liked 'Eddie the Eagle'? Watch These Other Movies About Obscure Sports

Posted: 29 Feb 2016 06:00 PM PST

In Eddie the Eagle, Taron Egerton plays Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, the first athlete to represent Great Britain in ski jumping at the Olympic games. And while that sounds like the set-up for the story of an underdog overcoming the odds, Edwards’ actual story is actually one of dismal failure…albeit of the heroic variety. To celebrate this film’s release, let’s take a moment to look back on the sports movies that feature odd sports or portray the familiar in unique and bizarre ways. Because in the sports world, not everyone is a winner. In fact, there are far more losers.   Cool Runnings (1993) The father of the modern “Wait, this actually happened?” sports movie, Cool Runnings tells the story of Jamaican...

Channing Tatum's 'Gambit' Delays Release; Two New Marvel Movies From Fox On Their Way

Posted: 29 Feb 2016 04:30 PM PST

It feels like two steps forward, one step back for Gambit, the superhero spin-off movie that will star Channing Tatum as the titular Southern cardshark and ladies' man with superhuman abilities. Back in August, it was confirmed that Tatum would be starring, and later that month we heard that Lea Seydoux (SPECTRE) had been offered the lead female role as a woman with psychic powers who has a tempestuous relationship with Gambit over the years. But the following month, director Rupert Wyatt stepped aside, citing scheduling conflicts created when the start of production on the movie got pushed to the early spring of this year. Happily, veteran action director Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, above; The Bourne Identity) boarded the project in November. The original release...

Ben Affleck Dressed as Batman for His Kid's Birthday Party

Posted: 29 Feb 2016 01:30 PM PST

When you play a very popular superhero on the big screen and you also happen to have young children who are obsessed with superheroes, chances are those two worlds are likely to collide in some pretty amusing ways. While joining Jimmy Kimmel's post-Oscars show (see a complete list of this year's winners here), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Ben Affleck revealed that his superhero-obsessed four-year-old son asked his dad to play Batman -- "no, the real Batman" -- for his superhero-themed birthday party. As Affleck tells it, the studio actually let him borrow the actual Batman costume he wears in the movie because his kid demanded he don the real suit, and then he joined a bunch of other costumed heroes in the celebration of the little boy's big...
