“Prometheus” is a science fiction action thriller film by Ridley Scott – you know, the guy who did “Blade Runner” and “Alien.” In addition, this new flick was originally envisioned as a kind of prequel to “Alien,” and remains some type of not fully explained spiritual successor to the 1979 classic. For most film fans,…
By Jordan Hoffman At some point in mid-February one of the many publicists I deal with on a regular basis in New York asked if I was planning on going to the Sarasota Film Festival in April. If I had my druthers, I’d go, I said. I love film festivals. You watch movies all day…
“The Avengers” hits theaters this weekend, uniting solo-film superheroes Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk on the same screen in a cinematic team-up of epic proportions. You can read my spoiler-free early review of “The Avengers” that went up earlier this week, but just in case you’re still on the fence about Marvel’s blockbuster…
Sure, it just had the 9th biggest international opening weekend in history, and most people in this country haven’t even seen it, but “Avengers”? Seriously? That’s old news, grandpa! We’re living in the future and already onto the next big summer superhero flick, with a brand spanking new trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises.” The…
We have all the details about the ride, the merchandise and more.
“The Five-Year Engagement” doesn’t exactly work, but it is a rare Hollywood comedy about the problems of making love last. Romantic comedies (and dramas) tend to focus on the difficult groundwork that needs to be laid — pardon the pun — before a couple can find their happily ever after. At the end of most…
Peter Jackson says it just takes some getting used to.

Did you know the working title for “E.T.” was “A Boy’s Life”? Or that both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were extras in “Field of Dreams”? All of those facts plus 98 more were released today by Universal Pictures to tease their 100th anniversary. Included are everything from the name of the mechanical shark in…
After months of pouring over the trailers for “Promethueus” like Jim Garrison studying the Zapruder film (for the younger readers, that’s a “JFK” joke), one thing we still hadn’t seen was a dead-on shot of one of the film’s monsters. That all changes with the new international trailer, which includes scenes with what might be…
Four years ago today, “Iron Man” arrived in theaters and kicked off a bold, long-term plan (by Hollywood standards, at least) that would see four different Marvel superheroes appear in their own solo movies, then unite in a single film featuring not just all of the previous films’ stars, but many of their supporting cast,…
Today, Richard Linklater’s latest film “Bernie” arrives in theaters. It’s the director’s fifteenth feature film – at least since “Slackers” made a national splash in 1991 – and he, like a number of other filmmakers who emerged in the early ‘90s, has enjoyed more of a flirtation with mainstream moviemaking than a full-fledged relationship. But…
Mark Millar also teases there are plans for a “Kick-Ass 3.”
This trailer does not have us looking forward to turning 40.
“I think [the character] can age with the actor, if the actor stays with it,” he adds.
“I don’t know what their plans are for that. I’m sure there’s one being planned,” Bird tells IFC of a “Ghost Protocol” sequel.
Last week, we received a special delivery from S.H.I.E.L.D. full of “The Avengers” movie toys. This week, we received a box full of fun from the U.S. Navy — specifically, the “Battleship” division. Okay, so the “Battleship” box didn’t actually come from any official branch of the government, but hey, toys! With Peter Berg’s sci-fi…
Bruce Willis aside, there probably isn’t another pure “action” star these days than Jason Statham. From “Crank” to “The Transporter” and a million films in-between, the actor has become a first-class pleasure to watch as he pummels his way through triads, the mafia, foreign armies and anything else you can think of. That’s precisely the…
It also sounds like Tom Cruise is almost officially on board.
It’s sort of like a mash-up of Netflix and Pop Up Video for the social networking site.
Ehren Kruger is working on the script.
Steve Martin is a marvelously unique talent, in that he cut his teeth on wacky prop comedy, hit the big time with brilliantly stupid movies, and has aged into being a fiercely astute intellectual who can run the gamut between smart and dumb humor with relaxed ease. Lately, some of his movie choices have been…
After starring in last year’s “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” Rooney Mara is a hot commodity in Hollywood, currently working as the lead in Steven Soderbergh’s “The Bitter Pill.” But if talks go through, she could also be taking on a role in the next film by director Spike Jonze. According to Variety Mara is…
Yes, this summer sees the release of two humongous superhero movies in the form of “The Avengers” and “The Dark Knight Rises,” but my most anticipated movie of the year remains “Django Unchained.” Now, with our first look at the actors in character, I’m more excited than ever about Quentin Tarantino’s new flick. The first…
Unsurprisingly, they’re pretty excited about it.
