The 10 Best Action Scenes of the Past Decade

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:00 PM PST

In Kingsman: The Secret Service, director Matthew Vaughn takes the tropes of old-school spy movies and ratchets them up to 11. Formerly silly or innocuous gadgets now create bloody messes. Colin Firth's gentleman spy is brutal enough to make Sean Connery blush. However, it's all done with a sly wink and nod. Above all other things, the action is fun. More importantly, it's unique enough to completely stand out in a landscape full of movies where heroes obliterate countless enemies and make it look easy. To celebrate the assured action of Kingsman, we pored over the action films of the past 10 years and created a list of our favorite action scenes. And then we whittled it down. And whittled it down further. Eventually, after losing scenes we love from movies we love...

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's time once again to turn our attention to the romantic corners of the geeky movie world.

Comics on Film: Two Major Comics Stories That Marvel Studios Can Now Do with Spider-Man

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 06:00 PM PST

We've been banging the drum for a while now, advocating that Spider-Man return home to Marvel Studios to take his rightful place alongside the established superstars created by its films, like Iron Man, Captain America and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, with the recent news announcing a major deal between Sony Pictures and Disney, that former fan pipe dream is a reality. Bringing Peter Parker and his supporting cast into the mix for the Marvel cinematic universe does a lot to restore the narrative vitality of the film series, even though it didn't really need a restoration yet. Spider-Man is Marvel's most visibly identifiable character, with the iconic costume designed by the great Steve Ditko being universally recognizable the world over...

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:30 PM PST

Return of Lando: Could Lando Calrissian show up in the new Star Wars trilogy? Actor Billy Dee Williams teased in an interview, "I have a feeling I’m going to show up. There’s nothing I can really discuss about it at this stage." He hints that his character could be reintroduced in the second installment, Episode VIII, just as Lando made his first appearance in the second part of the original trilogy. "I did Empire and then I did Return of the Jedi, but I came in after everyone else was introduced … So I think they’re probably proceeding in that way."   Star Wars Cruise: Disney Cruise Lines will now offer a Star Wars day with some packages beginning in January 2016. Guests on board can enjoy the first six...

Whoa! Watch 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' Reveal Who Takes Over As Host of 'The Daily Show'

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:48 PM PST

Call it a well-timed coincidence or an eerie prediction of the future from a movie featuring characters who travel to the future. Watch what happens when two big, topical stories -- that of Jon Stewart announcing his departure from The Daily Show and the release of next week's Hot Tub Time Machine 2 -- collide in a very amusing way.  Yup, that's current Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams acting as Daily Show host in 2025, which is the year our heroes (Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke) travel to in the sequel. They're not aware of what year it is though, so they turn on the television and there's The Daily Show with Williams in the captain's chair. Since Stewart just made his announcement this week, there's obviously no word on who...
