| The 2015 Movies That Need to Be on Your Radar Posted: 31 Dec 2014 11:00 PM PST You don't need us to tell you that you should look forward to Avengers: Age of Ultron or Ant-Man or Mad Max: Fury Road. It's not that we have anything against megablockbuster movies. Far from it, as they're absolutely some of our most anticipated movies of the year. But odds are they're all on your radar already. So we want to turn your attention to a boatload of other movies coming out in 2015 that we should all be looking forward to. We're sure you've heard of many of these, just keep them in mind when you're counting down the days to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Auteur Directors with New Movies Blackhat - Michael Mann (Heat, Miami Vice, The Insider). A thriller about an unrealistically handsome hacker (Chris Hemsworth) that the U.S...

| This Is the Best New Year's Eve Movie Scene of All Time Posted: 31 Dec 2014 10:00 PM PST For as long as I've been writing about movies, I've always arrived at the final day of the year with an itch to point out the greatness of one scene -- a scene I feel is the best New Year's Eve movie scene of all time. And while there's always new ways to write about a scene, I felt the best way to go about it this year is to repost what I wrote after the great and wonderful Nora Ephron passed away in 2012. Hers is a voice that expressed feelings like no other, and this scene not only puts the finishing touches on a fantastic movie about the complexities of the male-female relationship, but it's also a wonderful moment to remember and cherish as we transition to a new year. First, the scene. Below you'll find my thoughts on it from June... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Last Sci-fi Blog: The 2015 Science Fiction Movie Preview Posted: 31 Dec 2014 08:30 PM PST 2014 was a landmark year for science fiction films... and it's over. Gone forever. Destined to live on only in our hearts, minds and DVD shelves. But this is sci-fi -- you've got to always keep one eye on the future. After all, 2015 certainly doesn't look like its lacking in the "potentially pretty-great science fiction film" department. So let's journey into the 2015 and take a look at 15 movies that should be on your radar. Predestination Release Date: January 9 Reason to Get Excited: The Spierig brothers' adaptation of Robert Heinlein's All You Zombies is a bizarre, unsettling and wholly unique film that somehow transforms its dense and seemingly unadaptable source material into a thrilling cinematic experience.

| The Best of 2014: Young-Adult Book-to-Film Adaptations Posted: 31 Dec 2014 07:00 PM PST Welcome to the YA Movie Countdown, our resident expert’s guide to young-adult book-to-film adaptations. The young-adult book-to-film craze continues, going five-for-six in 2014. The Giver may have completely missed the mark, but The Hunger Games: Mockingjay -- Part 1, The Maze Runner, The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent and Vampire Academy all had something to offer. Of course some were better than others, and now it’s time to recognize those standout accomplishments. The category selection was a bit arbitrary and simply came down to what I wanted to write about most, so if there are topics, moments or other achievements that are not addressed here, please do include them in the comments section below.

| Remembering One of the Greatest Scenes in Movie History Posted: 31 Dec 2014 06:00 PM PST It’s the last day of 2014 – and coincidentally enough, my last day as a news writer here at Movies.com. When I was asked what movie I’d want to write about for my final post, I had all of the usual suspects run through my head: The Big Lebowski, Suspiria, Halloween, Takeshi Kitano’s haunting Fireworks… but at the end of the day, there was really only one movie it could be: Jaws. Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic is arguably my favorite movie of all time. There are a million reasons why I love Jaws (and we devoted a whole week to the film back in 2012), but one of the main reasons is because Robert Shaw is just so damn brilliant in it. Shaw’s Quint is one of my all-time favorite screen characters – he’s brash, he’s a jerk... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Ghostbusters' Director Paul Feig Reveals What the Reboot Might Look Like Posted: 31 Dec 2014 04:30 PM PST It wouldn’t be the end of the year without at least one more Ghostbusters story, so today we bring you this interview with Paul Feig – the guy who’s about to reboot the beloved franchise. Feig candidly discusses his vision for an all-female team of Ghostbusters, and gives us a glimpse of what the new film will look like in this piece from Empire Magazine. If you’re wondering why Feig has chosen to do a reboot instead of a sequel (like the oft-discussed Ghostbusters 3), it’s because he has “too much respect for the original.” He goes on to elaborate: “There's also the feeling that once the world knows ghosts and has seen them busted on such a large scale, they run the risk of becoming pedestrian. There's something fun... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Watch Previews for the Five Most Anticipated Movies of 2015 Posted: 31 Dec 2014 03:00 PM PST 2015 is going to be a monster year at the movies, and we'll be writing a lot about those films heading our way in the coming days... but first! Our friends at Fandango got the ball rolling by polling 1,000 people and asking them for their most anticipated 2015 movies... and, yup, Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out on top. Something tells us the Force is gonna be a wee bit strong with this one. The first Star Wars movie in a decade (and first Star Wars sequel in over 30 years) beat out other crazily anticipated movies like Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay -- Part 2, Jurassic World and, yes, even Fifty Shades of Grey -- the latter of which actually topped all of these movies when it came to trailer views on YouTube in 2014. Other categories... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| See Fascinating Concept Art from the 'Toy Story' Movie That Never Happened Posted: 31 Dec 2014 01:30 PM PST Back in 2004 there was a brief hiccup in the world of movies when a partnership between Pixar and Disney began to fall apart due to its leaders (Steve Jobs at Pixar and Michael Eisner at Disney) not seeing eye to eye when it came to the future of the blossoming animation giant. The ensuing tension caused Disney to briefly launch its own Pixar-like animation unit called Circle 7 Animation, which got to work on churning out sequels to the Pixar properties Disney owned the rights to, like Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo. Eventually a deal was struck and Disney acquired Pixar, and all those sequels that were in development were immediately scrapped. But not before a bunch of work had already been done -- and in the case of the Toy Story sequel, which was the franchise's...

| Movie News: Mark Wahlberg Wants Martin Scorsese to Direct a 'Boardwalk Empire' Movie Posted: 31 Dec 2014 12:00 PM PST Boardwalk Empire: Mark Wahlberg, who served as a producer on the HBO crime series Boardwalk Empire (starring Steve Buscemi, above), says: "My next goal now is to get the movie made and start talking to Martin Scorsese about directing it." Scorsese directed the pilot episode of the series, set largely in Atlantic City in the 1920s; it concluded its five-season run earlier this year. Wahlberg wants to structure the movie much like Entourage, the big-screen version of the HBO series on which he also served as a producer. [Ralphie Tonight via NJ.com] Rambo 5: Sylvester Stallone still has Rambo on his mind. Earlier this year he indicated that he had written a fifth installment in which John Rambo would battle a Mexican drug cartel, a scenario first mentioned in...
