My favorite posts of 2011

We’re burning away the last few hours left in 2011. It’s been a great year for movies and — if we don’t say so ourselves — a great year on IFC.com. Putting together one last post to highlight some of the best pieces of 2011 was not an easy task because there was so much […]

Portland’s New Year’s resolutions

2011 was a big year for Portland. We were sweetly satirized on cable television and think-pieced in the media ad nauseum, and at this point the name of the city could practically apply for dictionary recognition as an adjective for a kind of lifestyle some folks scoff at but secretly envy. As great as this […]

Christopher Lee talks about Saruman in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”

There are going to be plenty of memorable reappearances by some of our favorite “Lord of the Rings” characters in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” that didn’t happen within the pages of the novel the film is based on. Frodo, for instance, will make a return through some tricky manipulation of the “Lord of the […]

“The Amazing Spider-Man” toys spoil the film’s plot elements

Marc Webb and his team have kept a tight lid on “The Amazing Spider-Man” as they’ve been filming the superhero flick around the country, but could it be that some of the tie-in toy merchandise has given away some key plot points from the movie? If you’re looking to keep yourself spoiler-free going into the […]

Why did movie theater attendance decline in 2011?

It is a question as old as time, or at least this month: where did all the movie lovers go? Earlier this week The Associated Press‘ David Germain wrote a piece entailing the drastic drop in box office revenues in 2011. With just 1.275 billion tickets sold, “that’s the smallest movie audience since 1995.” And […]

Spend New Years Eve with The Three Stooges

New Year’s Eve is a night of revelry and remembrance and nobody is better at reveling than those classic party animals Larry, Curly, and Moe. In a long-standing IFC tradition, at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday (a.k.a. New Year’s Eve) we are cancelling our regularly scheduled programming and showing nothing but “The Three Stooges” all […]

“Angels Crest,” reviewed

A version of this review originally ran as part of our coverage of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. For all the people crying onscreen in “Angels Crest,” I never once felt the urge to cry myself. The problem, I think, is not with what’s in the film but what’s not in the film, and that’s […]

Les Claypool guest blog: Primus frontman on the glory of the Three Stooges

With IFC airing our annual Three Stooges marathon beginning Saturday at 6/5c, we are fortunate enough to have the legendary singer/bassist of Primus, Les Claypool, to help us usher in the wacky trio. So without further ado, take it away Les… So, I’ve been asked by the fine yet potentially confused folks down at IFC […]
