Today in Movie Culture: Jena Malone In Costume as Batgirl, Stan Lee vs. Jim Henson vs. Walt Disney and More Posted: 04 Aug 2015 12:00 AM PDT Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture:   Supercut of the Day: In honor of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Cinema Blend has compiled every mask removal from the M:I franchise:   Movie Character Super Karaoke of the Day: Let's be thankful that there are people with so much extra time on their hands that we can have videos where movies are cut together so their characters help sing a cover of "Uptown Funk." The best part is actually the use of dance scenes from Napoleon Dynamite, Mac and Me and others for the instrumental moments.   Celebrity Good Deed of the Day: The cast of the new Ghostbusters movie -- Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon -- paid a...

Marvel Countdown: The Entire History of the Fantastic Four Summed Up In One Image Posted: 03 Aug 2015 10:00 PM PDT Marvel's First Family, the Fantastic Four, has a long and storied career across mass media, and we dive right in to take a look at that history. We've got no idea what the future holds after the upcoming Josh Trank film, but whatever the case it won't be the last we see of Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). Get to know the Fantastic Four a little more by checking this out below.   Click image to enlarge     Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

PEZ and 'Dungeons and Dragons' Movies Are Officially Headed to the Multiplex Posted: 03 Aug 2015 09:01 PM PDT Hollywood owes everything to The Lego Movie right now. A few years ago, we were all complaining about every branded item on the toy and game shelves being slated for movie adaptations. Then, just when everyone was like, "See, look how awful Battleship is!" (ps: I personally love Battleship), the brllliant chaos of Chris Miller and Phil Lord's Lego-brickapalooza had us going, "Wait, wait, wait, anything is possible." Now anytime a studio pitches the world on something like a PEZ movie, they can say, "Just remember, you had little faith in a Lego movie, too, and look how that turned out." So, yes, there is reportedly now a PEZ movie in the works. PEZ is kind of a toy, but it's also more a candy. We've previously heard of...

August Movies Calendar: In Theaters, on Blu-ray, New VOD Releases and More Posted: 03 Aug 2015 07:30 PM PDT We want to make it easier for you to digest an entire month's worth of movies in one sitting, so we've created these groovy little calendars you can use to get caught up on the month's most notable movie releases, both in theaters and at home (note: the VOD dates may vary by platform). We've also littered our nerdy calendar with a few memorable events that took place during some of your favorite movies. Check out our August calendar below, then let us know what else you'd like to see on a monthly calendar like this. We'll be changing it from month to month, so your input is valuable. After all, this is for you, not us. Although it's kinda for us, too, since we're completely disorganized, but mainly for you.

Is This How the 'Star Wars' Movies Will Include Characters from 'Star Wars Rebels'? Posted: 03 Aug 2015 06:00 PM PDT This December marks the return of Star Wars to the big screen with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is Disney's intention to then start releasing one live-action Star Wars movie per year, with standalone Anthology films arriving in the years between chapters in a new trilogy that picks up 30 years after Return of the Jedi. But with one successful Star Wars TV show (Star Wars Rebels) already up and running, what are the chances characters from that show will eventually show up in one of these movies? Well, we may have our answer. The first standalone movie is Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One, and what we know so far is that it will take place right before the first Star Wars, telling the story of how the rebels got their hands on the Death Star plans. Those plans, of course... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Remembering Omar Sharif, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper and Other Reel-Important People We Lost in July Posted: 03 Aug 2015 04:30 PM PDT Reel-Important People is a monthly column that highlights those individuals in or related to the movies that have left us in recent weeks.

Watch: 'Deadpool' Figures Out the Perfect Way to Do a Trailer for a Trailer Posted: 03 Aug 2015 03:00 PM PDT The trailer for a trailer has become the lamest trend in movie marketing. Nobody wants to see a 15 second clip that exists just to tease when you're going to be able to watch a 90 second clip. That said, Deadpool has just dropped the mic on trailers for trailers. If anyone is going to do one from here on out, it has to be better than this. And good luck, because it's not going to be easy to top. The full trailer will be online tomorrow after a broadcast-safe version of it premieres on Conan O'Brien's late night show tonight, but to whet your appetite, here's star Ryan Reynolds once again proving how this Deadpool is going to be very, very different from the Deadpool who showed up in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Warning, some language in this is... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
