| Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki Talk Their Kick-Ass 'Man From UNCLE' Characters Posted:  "The Man From UNCLE" turns several spy movie tropes on their head, especially when it comes to its strong female characters. The 1960s-set Cold War romp, based on the TV series of the same name, subverts expectation with its two female leads -- played by Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Debicki -- and gives the characters much more to do than be damsels in distress or cliched villains. Watch the actors discuss how they worked with director Guy Ritchie to make two of the summer's most engaging characters. "UNCLE" hits theaters this weekend.

| Your First Look at Black Panther on the Set of Marvel's 'Civil War' Posted:  Comic book movie fans? You're not gonna be disappointed in Black Panther on the big screen.Images from the Berlin set of "Captain America: Civil War" leaked Wednesday via Instagram, giving us our first look at the Black Panther costume, albeit one worn by a stunt double. The suit -- which looks very similar to the concept art (above) that Marvel revealed in Fall 2014 -- seems made out of a thick mesh (think the stuff under Batman's armor plates in "The Dark Knight") and accented with the character's traditional claws and tribal-like necklace. Even more interesting about this on-set photo? It shows Black Panther, played by Chadwick Boseman in the film, seemingly working alongside Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), aka The Winter Soldier. Does that mean Black Panther isn't as neutral as we were lead to believe? Are he and Winter Soldier teaming up to fight on Cap's side? We'll find out when "Civil War" hits theaters May 2016.

| Bryan Cranston Is Blacklisted From Hollywood in 'Trumbo' Trailer Posted:  Nobody has the right to tell you how to write - or act, pray, speak, vote, protest, love, and think. That's the message in the new trailer for "Trumbo," which stars Bryan Cranston as the real-life '30s-era screenwriter behind "Spartacus" and "Roman Holiday." Dalton Trumbo refused to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee and was subsequently blacklisted. But he continued writing screenplays under pseudonyms, and even won two Oscars in exile. Watch the trailer. "Trumbo" looks much like the typical prestige Hollywood biopic - big names (Helen Mirren! Louis CK! John Goodman!), stirring speeches, the heart-tugging "am I doing the right thing" moment. Not to say the movie looks banal; Cranston's performance figures to be fantastic. He can drop dry, witty one-liners all the live long day, if it were up to us. "Trumbo" debuts at the Toronto International Film Festival, then opens in theaters November. 6.

| 10 Clichés Sci-Fi Movies Can't Stop Using Posted:  Don't get us wrong, we love sci-fi movies. "Star Wars," "Back to the Future," and "Guardians of the Galaxy" are some of the best movies to come out of the genre, but that doesn't mean every plot device they use is creative. Here are the 10 cliches that sci-fi movies will probably use until the end of time.This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| First Full 'The Hateful Eight' Trailer Is Finally Here Posted:  Enough teasers, posters, and photos. It's time to finally see Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" in action! The Weinstein Company just released a solid new "Hateful 8" trailer on August 12. They labeled it an "Official Teaser Trailer" but -- thankfully -- it's not just a tease, it has plenty of footage and a great showcase for several characters.Samuel L. Jackson launches the trailer with some classic coolness (literally, in a winter storm) and Kurt Russell shares a piece of the plot in a speech to a group of guys in a stagecoach stopover, alongside Jennifer Jason Leigh: "This here is Daisy Domergue. She's wanted dead or alive for murder. That sun comes out, I'm taking this woman to hang. Is there anybody here committed to stopping me from doing that?" Is there? We'll see. We're promised a story about eight strangers with one deadly connection. As Russell's character later teases, "One of them fellas is not what he says he is." Well, good. That's intriguing. Check it out: Here's the official synopsis: "The Hateful Eight" will be released in select theaters on Christmas Day (so it's ready for Oscar consideration) and everywhere on January 8, 2016. What do you think so far? Watch the trailer. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Warning: 'Game of Thrones' Will End With 'Bittersweet Victory' Posted:  One does not simply expect a happy ending on "Game of Thrones." It is known. Fans are on standby for the sixth book in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, aka the source material for "Game of Thrones." The HBO show is now filming Season 6 of a planned eight (or more) seasons. GRRM currently has seven books planned -- No. 6 being "The Winds of Winter" and then "A Dream of Spring."GRRM just had a Q&A with Observer, and the final question was about the series' end game. Here's that portion of the conversation: In case you're not familiar, "The Scouring of the Shire" is the second to last chapter in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Return of the King." It wasn't covered in the Peter Jackson movie, but it showed Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin returning to the Shire to find it was corrupted and taken over by ruffians led by Saruman. The four of them roused their fellow hobbits to take back the Shire, but the movie just shows the hobbits returning to a relatively unchanged Shire, then Frodo -- who can't really cope with normal life anymore -- leaves Middle-earth.  So it sounds like GRRM is going to go for a realistic approach, which matches what he's already done. Many other authors would've just, for example, given Daenerys Targaryen a fully happy ending/freed slaves stay free victory at Astapor and never returned with news that the city was overtaken by new corrupt forces. But that's the kind of thing that happens in real life -- you cut off the head of the hydra and a new one grows back. We're still guessing Dany (or an undead Jon Snow?) ends up on The Iron Throne when the series ends, but it would be naive to think it'll be easy for our heroes to take and retain power. That chair is just not meant to be comfortable and it's steeped in blood.But hey! Victory is still victory and we're looking forward to reading GRRM's ending, then seeing it play out on the small screen. Hopefully it happens in that order. Want more stuff like this?

| 'Pretty Little Liars' Fans Are Hysterically Lost and Livid After 'A' Reveal Posted:  Let no one say "Pretty Little Liars" fans do not care. They care. Maybe too much. That passion was on full display last night during and after the ABC Family show's Season 6 summer finale. All answers were promised. Some answers were given, but they were not very well received, and many other questions were left hanging. PLL fans responded to the reveal that CeCe Drake was "A" with ... feelings. A lot of anger was tweeted toward showrunner Marlene King.Here are some reactions from the Internet. WARNING: Strong language is used, because strong feelings were abused: Haha. Marlene King did answer a few more burning questions in a Q&A with Entertainment Weekly, so check that out if you haven't already done so. She also told Variety there may be a Season 8 and a movie. Is that a good idea or is that just setting fans up for more disappointment? Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Olsen Twins Respond to Class Action Lawsuit From 40 Interns Posted:  Unpaid internships are no fun, but 40 current and previous interns of "Full House" alumni Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are now suing the twins' Dualstar Entertainment Group for wage theft. How rude! (Sorry.)According to USA Today, the class action suit alleges Dualstar should have paid interns minimum wage because they were doing similar jobs as paid employees without receiving any academic or vocational credit. However, the Olsens have now responded to the lawsuit, via a statement from Dualstar's rep Annett Wolf to USA Today: Dualstar is the parent company of the Olsen twins' fashion labels, Elizabeth and James and The Row. The lead plaintiff in the suit, former design intern Shahista Lalani, says she was hospitalized for dehydration as a result of the internship and claims she was treated poorly by The Row's head technical designer. "She was very demanding," Lalani said. "I was doing the work of three interns. I was talking to her all day, all night. Emails at nighttime for the next day, like 10 p.m. at night." It's like working for "The Devil Wears Prada's" Miranda Priestly, for free.  This is just the latest lawsuit from former interns after the landmark "Black Swan" case, which ruled in favor of two interns who argued they should've been paid for performing administrative duties like fetching coffee and answering phones. What do you think? Are these interns right to sue for money, credit, better treatment, etc., or do you think they're being too demanding or should've known what they were getting into?

| RIP Uggie the Dog: 'The Artist' and 'Water for Elephants' Star Dies at 13 Posted:  A moment of silence, please, for the handsome and talented Uggie, who was put to sleep on Friday, August 7, after suffering from a prostate tumor. He was 13. Uggie, a Jack Russell Terrier, may be best known from the 2011 Oscar-winning film "The Artist," but he also starred with Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in"Water for Elephants," and appeared in "Mr. Fix It," the TV movie "Holiday Road Trip," and a "Key and Peele" sketch.Uggie's owner/father, Omar Von Mueller, told TMZ it was a difficult decision to say goodbye to Uggie, but the tumor had left him suffering and the last few weeks were especially tough. Sarah Clifford trained Uggie and told TMZ he was "a perfect little terrier" with boundless energy. "I will forever hold him dearly in my heart and never forget his infinite love for chicken and hotdogs." Sniff. Watch this "Uggie Unleashed" interview to learn know more about the brightest dog star in the galaxy. Rest in peace, Uggie! May you enjoy tummy rubs and treats for all eternity.

| Fall Movie Preview 2015: The 38 Most Must-See Films Posted: Out with the spandex, in with the Spanx. It's tempting to think of fall as the movie season where superhero films clear out of the multiplex, leaving it to grown-up fare -- Oscar hopefuls that are more about character than action. Not so this year. Sure, there'll be plenty of mature movies from brand-name directors like Spielberg and Tarantino. But there are also several eagerly-awaited installments of blockbuster franchises, including the next James Bond, the final "Hunger Games," and, oh yeah, the first new episode of "Star Wars" in 10 years. Whatever your taste, there are lots of fall movies to get excited about. From "Mockingjay" to "Spectre," here are 36 films you need to see.

| Best of Late Night TV: Kristen Stewart's Awkward 'Word Blurt,' Ice Cube's Christmas Card Posted:  If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night. Kristen Stewart -- star of the new movie "American Ultra," and still known for "Twilight," awkwardness, and lip biting -- was on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday night and showed she is still not comfortable in the spotlight. She and Jimmy played a game of "Word Blurt" and it should've been light and fun, but instead it was painfully awkward and ended with KStew thinking it was probably a mistake to come on the show. Sometimes Jimmy laughs a little too hard when he's trying to force the fun and he did that again with Kristen. However, in her sit-down interview, Kristen insisted she does smile on occasion. She's asked about being smiley vs. being sullen all the time and it's probably not helping her mood. She seems OK, though, just not a natural charmer -- which is fine. She's like most of us. It's just odd that she's also a celebrity, since she seems to dislike it so much. Ice Cube and son O'Shea Jackson Jr. were on "Conan" to promote "Straight Outta Compton" and they discussed police brutality then vs. now. More than 25 years ago, Ice Cube wrote "F--k Tha Police" and he said it doesn't feel good that it's still relevant. On a lighter note, "The Cubes" also shared their family Christmas card -- complete with trademark scowling. (They should invite Kristen Stewart next time!) Donald Trump is pretty much all anyone can talk about these days -- and everyone has a Trump impression -- and Seth Meyers definitely had a lot to say Tuesday night during his (desk-bound) monologue. Anderson Cooper was also a guest and he and Seth discussed making an enemy of The Trump. Trump has never forgiven Seth for the Washington Correspondents Dinner. Want more stuff like this?
