New on DVD/Blu-ray: A Trio of Oscar Nominees Hit Home Before the Big Day

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 11:00 PM PST

The Homesman - Lionsgate - Blu-ray and DVD Director: Tommy Lee Jones Cast: Tommy Lee Jones, Hilary Swank, Meryl Streep, Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto. Full cast + crew This week quite a few of the year's big awards nominees hit home video, but there's one movie that never quite entered the awards fray despite being better than most of the actual nominees. It's called The Homesman, and it's directed by none other than Tommy Lee Jones. This is a gripping movie about finding optimism in the otherwise grim world of frontier life. And when I say grim, I do mean grim. The first 10 minutes alone will probably have your jaw drop more than once, but if you can make it through those you'll be treated to one of the best movies of 2014...

Today in Movie Culture: 'Up' Doghouse, 'John Wick' Fan Art, See Spider-Man in 'The Avengers' and More

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 09:30 PM PST

Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture:   In the new episode of Super-Fan Build, watch the guys construct a doghouse inspired by Pixar's Up:   The prize is your own mischievous Mogwai, I guess. This might be the funniest Gremlins T-shirt ever (via Fashionably Geek):   Part tribute, part parody, Wayside Creaton's "Best Picture: The Musical," which covers all eight of Oscar's top-prize nominees, should also win something for the effort.   How did those eight movies get their "nom nom"? They followed the advice of "The Nominator," who gets a spotlight in the following UCB Oscar parody.   Speaking of the Oscar nominees, the below portrait...

Exclusive: Watch Francis Ford Coppola Talk to Robert Rodriguez About "The Things They Fire You For"

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 07:37 PM PST

Even if the only movies that Francis Ford Coppola ever made were the three Godfather films, he'd still be a cinematic legend. But he didn't just stop there: The Conversation, The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, Dracula, Apocalypse Now. The list goes on and on. He is, simply put, one of the Greats. That's why Coppola is such a welcome choice for The Director's Chair, a fantastic ongoing series on El Rey Network where Robert Rodriguez chats candidly with filmmakers about the entirety of their careers. In the past he's hosted Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino and John Carpenter, and they've all resulted in very worthwhile conversations about the realities of being a working artist in Hollywood. Speaking of that, we've got a clip from the upcoming The...

'American Sniper' Screenwriter Jason Hall Reveals Why He Changed the Ending

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 04:00 PM PST

Endings of movies are changed all the time. But when it's a true story being told, there's not a lot of room for alterations. You can't have Chris Kyle live happily ever after at the end of American Sniper, for instance. His death, at the hands of another veteran, is too well-known. And even if it weren't, you just can't do that. For biopics and other fact-based movies, the only thing that can be done, really, is to end at a different point in the story. You can stop before Kyle is killed or after. And the decision is up to the filmmakers and what they want the movie to ultimately be about, as well as what they want the audience left with as the last moment in their minds. American Sniper concludes with Kyle (Bradley Cooper) heading out to the...

Watch: Is This Guy the Real Christian Grey?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 02:40 PM PST

With its $94 million four-day haul (add to that $158 million overseas), Fifty Shades of Grey broke all kinds of records this past weekend at the box office. Not only was it one of Fandango's all-time advance presellers -- and the company's top-selling R-rated movie debut -- but it also shattered Valentine's Day records, and enjoyed the biggest opening weekend ever in the month of February. So, yeah, people were a tad bit interested in watching the story of a shy college student (Dakota Johnson) fall in love with a kinky, mysterious billionaire. So interested, in fact, that they may have tracked down the real-life Christian Grey. This 27-year-old Seattle entrepreneur is eerily similar to the character in the book and movie, where he's portrayed by Jamie Dornan...

Recently we learned our new Ghostbusters team will be comprised of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon, and it would appear the first official image of all four ladies hanging out together (away from them ghosts) was snapped late Sunday night at the after-party for the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special.  The image, seen below, comes from Jones' Twitter feed...   Ok I'm exhausted but this week was epic!#winning pic.twitter.com/T70ay2YGtA — Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) February 16, 2015 And here's the image by itself...
