There's really no denying that superhero movies are in their prime right now. Years ago, no one thought comic book adaptations would become the mainstream mega-hits that they are today. And to show us the history and evolution of that genre, we've got another great graph to feature today ...

Yes, I know you're trying to forget about Transformers 2 , and this isn't helping. If you followed the big back-n-forth between Michael Bay and Megan Fox earlier this year, you might've been left wondering if she would actually return, considering it seemed the two were not on good terms. ...

Lionsgate has debuted the full-length trailer for Season of the Witch starring Nic Cage and Ron Perlman on Fandango today. We previously featured a very short teaser trailer for this back during Halloween. If it weren't for Cage being so damn cheesy, I would say this actually looks pretty ...

While Mike White might not be a household name, you've surely seen him in bit parts of movies like School of Rock , Orange County and more recently Gentlemen Broncos . And what you might not know is that aside from acting in those films, White has also written or produced those and ...

If Marley & Me proved anything (other than some people are just mean-spirited ), it's that audiences still love man's best friend on the big screen, no matter how heart-wrenching the story. Now Warner Bros is banking on a feel-good dog story as THR reports they have picked up the rights ...

After the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale decided not to return for the third installment of even more vampire / werewolf battles in the Underworld series, I thought that it'd at least become a straight-to-DVD franchise, if not fall into oblivion. But apparently Beckinsale's replacement Rhona ...

After the American Gladiators made a huge television comeback on NBC with all new events and red, white and blue clad, muscle-bulging athletes, the next logical step was to somehow adapt it into a feature length motion picture as we reported earlier this year . Now it looks like the ...

I'm trying to slow down on our Avatar posts so as to not overload everyone with new footage, but this time I just can't help myself. IGN UK debuted a new featurette for James Cameron's Avatar today titled Human Hardware . It's actually a very impressive featurette looking at the design ...

As angry as I am about the swift moves to remake the spectacularly reviewed Let the Right One In , it wasn't the first time I had felt similar emotions in an all too familiar scenario. Back in 2007, El Orfanato ( aka The Orphanage ) hit theaters and gained considerable buzz and attention ...

It's a true shame that the once raunchily hilarious comedian Eddie Murphy has turned into a family film garbage machine. I don't have problems with family films, but rather family films that simply suck. So when I heard the news from THR's Risky Biz Blog that Eddie Murphy is attached to ...

If there's one thing that will stop a movie dead in its tracks, it's one of the filmmakers being sent to prison. Such is the case with the developing horror sequel Silent Hill 2 . While a sequel might not seem necessary or even desired, certain fans and, of course, the producers feel ...

Even though Terminator Salvation was a lackluster installment in that franchise, no fault could be placed on Sam Worthington who, in my opinion, showed up Christian Bale on screen. And with the starring role in Avatar later this year, he's quickly becoming one of the most demanded actors in ...
