| 'Independence Day' News Video Recaps What's Happened Since the Aliens Invaded in 1996 Posted: 03 May 2016 09:00 PM PDT The upcoming sequel Independence Day: Resurgence has a difficult task. As a follow-up to a 20-year-old movie in which the whole world experienced both unimaginable devastation and extraordinary victory when Earth was attacked by aliens, it has to bring us up to speed on what's obviously going to be an alternate 2016. One where the planet has united in technological and military preparation for the chance that those extraterrestrial invaders return. Fortunately, the real 2016 has the technology of the internet, and through it the capability for viral videos providing back story to those who seek it out. Surely the actual movie will still have to inform the members of its audience who don't watch extra-textual promotional material, but that might be done with fairly...

| Posted: 03 May 2016 07:30 PM PDT To say that May is a big month for movie-related geekery is a pretty massive understatement. Not only has it become the de facto start of summer movie season, but May also plays host to not one, but two huge days for sci-fi and superhero fans. From a 24-hour festival of free comics to the return of the X-Men, here's what to mark on your calendars this month: Free Comic Book Day For more than a decade now, the first Saturday in May has been “Free Comic Book Day” – a day when local comic shops dish out piles of free comics to anyone who walks in the door. It's a beautiful thing, really, and you can get in on the action May 7. I put together a list of issues you might want to look for in last week's column, but remember that you might need...

| Watch Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn in Raunchy Red-Band 'Bad Moms' Trailer Posted: 03 May 2016 01:30 PM PDT It's funny how movies can change once the casting process begins, One year ago, Leslie Mann was set to star in an R-rated comedy "about women and the challenges of motherhood," with Judd Apatow on board as a producer. Six months later, Mann and Apatow had dropped out and Mila Kunis, Christina Applegate and Kristen Bell were tapped to star. Now the first trailer for Bad Moms has been released and it's become crystal clear that the movie will be an extremely raunchy comedy. You can watch the red-band trailer below, but beware that it's definitely not safe for work. (If you prefer the safer, green-band trailer, head over to Fandango.) We knew that the movie would revolve around three over-worked and under-appreciated mothers who are pushed to the edge of...

| Posted: 03 May 2016 12:00 PM PDT Johnnie Cochran: Anthony Mackie, who soars in this week's Captain America: Civil War as the superhero Falcon, will tackle the dramatic challenge of portraying famed defense attorney Johnnie Cochran. The movie, not yet titled, is set in 1981 and follows Cochran as a young lawyer defending football player Ron Settles. Shortly after his arrest, Settles was found hanged in his jail cell, but Cochran's continuing efforts resulted in a major legal victory for the Settles family. [Deadline] Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich: S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk) has been hired to write Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, a reboot of the Puppet Master series of darkly comic horror films that became popular in the 1990s.
