| Who Has the Best Robert De Niro Impression? Posted: 08 May 2014 08:00 PM PDT You have one. I have one. We all have a Robert De Niro impression. For a guy who made a career out of being serious (even when he's being funny), he's surprisingly fun to imitate. But let's be honest: our De Niro's probably aren't as good as we think. To get the real good De Niro's you have to look to the pros. Here are 10 of the best De Niro impressions out there. Dave Franco Warning: Foul language So it's not a very good De Niro impression all by itself. But it's Dave Franco! And instead of quoting Taxi Driver, he's quoting Meet the Parents, a tactic all would-be De Niro impressionists should consider. Bradley Cooper Bradley Cooper can do a lot of things. He can speak French. He can act. He can... Read More  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Last Sci-fi Blog Reports on 'Interstellar,' 'Star Wars,' 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' and More Posted: 08 May 2014 07:00 PM PDT Welcome to The Last Sci-fi Blog, our biweekly column about all things science fiction in movies. It's been a slow month for science fiction movies (we're all pretending Transcendence never happened, right?). That's going to change soon now that summer is upon us and the likes of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Jupiter Ascending are right around the corner, but this is the calm before the storm. So before the big blockbusters arrive, let's take a look at what's going on in the wide world of sci-fi movie news. The Coherence Trailer Has This Column's Name All Over It Coherence is a movie that hugely benefits from not knowing too much going in, and the trailer does a decent job of keeping the biggest surprises under wraps. However, if the... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Poster-Crop Quiz: Can You Guess These Movies from the Cast of 'Neighbors'? Posted: 08 May 2014 06:00 PM PDT Howdy, resident readers! It's time for another friendly neighborhood Poster-Crop Quiz! This week, we're honoring the cast of Neighbors. We've collected 10 posters from the previous films of various Neighbors cast members and then irresponsibly put them all on the same cul-de-sac. They didn't get along, words were said, and now they're all ripped to shreds. It was ugly. See if you can figure out which cropped shards came from which posters, leaving your guesses in the comment section below. The first person to correctly identify all 10 posters will be made captain of the neighborhood watch! No, actually they'll just get a shout-out in next week's quiz, but we'd argue that's even better.

| The YA Countdown: Why Can’t YA Adaptations Be Summer Blockbusters? Posted: 08 May 2014 05:00 PM PDT Welcome to the YA Movie Countdown, our resident expert’s biweekly guide to young-adult book-to-film adaptations. The summer season is most definitely the time for major moneymaking at the box office. If just about every young-adult book-to-film adaptation out there is outwardly vying to become the next Hunger Games, why not plop it down right in the middle of summer to maximize its box office potential? Pros: The obvious pro to being a summer season release is that movies arriving during the summertime tend to be some of the year’s highest earners. If you look at last year’s top three biggest openers, two were summer debuts and the sole anomaly was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which arrived in November. The year before? Same thing. Hunger Games hit... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Must Watch: AnnaSophia Robb Stars in a Parody of Sofia Coppola's Upcoming 'Little Mermaid' Movie Posted: 08 May 2014 04:00 PM PDT A listless female voiceover, pop songs, languid scenes of a young woman (with her mobile phone), mysterious whispering — welcome to the Sofia Coppola version of The Little Mermaid, courtesy of Funny or Die. We swear we saw shots of the sunlight through the trees, although that could just be the muscle memory of our Sofia Coppola-loving brains. In this twist on the Disney classic film, teen mermaid princess Ariel (played by The Way Way Back's AnnaSophia Robb) lives below the aqua waters of a swimming pool. She meets Prince Eric, played by the oft-creepy Evan Peters, and they fall in love. “There’s something fishy about you,” he mutters to his new redheaded girlfriend (who can’t speak). The imaginary soundtrack features the Coppola-approved... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| See the Drawing That Earned One Kid the 'Star Wars' Bedroom of His Dreams Posted: 08 May 2014 03:00 PM PDT We've come a long way since the days when a kid was totally jazzed to win some boring old decoder ring in the mail. As a way to celebrate 15 years of Lego Star Wars, Lego came up with a contest that would give one lucky kid the bedroom of their dreams. Well, their Star Wars dreams, at least. All he/she had to do was submit a drawing of their favorite Star Wars scene, and then do all kinds of Jedi mind tricks to get Lego to select them. ("This is the drawing you're looking for, Lego.") In the end, it was five-year-old Milun Simpson's drawing of the Ewok village on the forest moon of Endor (from Return of the Jedi) that earned him bedroom bragging rights for all eternity. Here's the winning picture, which includes a rad Ewok village bed, because even... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day' Trailer Posted: 08 May 2014 02:00 PM PDT Admit it: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is one of those books you read, like, a gazillion times growing up. And if you're a parent, you're rereading it to your children, like, a gazillion times as we speak. A trailer for the live-action movie based on the beloved children's book has just been released that greatly expands upon Alexander's bad day by spreading many of those bad-day vibes to his entire family. The results, meanwhile, look pretty hilarious. Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner star as the parents of a nice, suburban family who seemingly have it all going for them... until one bad day gets in the way. While it's a little too early to tell which elements of the book will be included in the movie (Does Alexander get... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| See How Math Reveals the Most Underrated and Overrated Movies of All Time Posted: 08 May 2014 12:00 PM PDT It’s one of our favorite ongoing debates: What makes a movie overrated versus underrated? Until now, this has largely been a subjective debate, but Benjamin Moore -- a PhD student in Computational Biology at Edinburgh University – has attempted to find the answer using the witchcraft that is math. You can see the fruits of his labor in the chart below. Moore’s study involved taking 1,200 films ranked at aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes and graphing the critical and audience scores. He then examined where the breaks in opinion were the strongest and crunched some data to get the most overrated and underrated movies according to RT. I'm sure it was way more complicated than that, but I only took one college course in statistics – and promptly forgot 95% of...

| New 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Trailer Reveals Some Menacing Ape Moments Posted: 08 May 2014 11:00 AM PDT We’ve been promised apes on horses and a fierce standoff between simian and human survivors in Matt Reeves' upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. A trailer for the film has arrived, revealing what the world looks like a decade after a deadly virus was unleashed, as seen in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Andy Serkis’ Caesar leads the genetically evolved apes in the revolution against humanity — now a threat in the form of a group setting up a colony in deserted San Francisco (Gary Oldman — playing a human survivor advocate that abhors the simians — Jason Clarke and Keri Russell). The apes maintain control over Muir Woods along the Pacific Coast, but their peace is short-lived as conflict edges them closer to total...
