Andrew Lincoln and executive producer Gale Anne Hurd discuss Season 3 of The Walking Dead, airing Sunday nights at 9 PM ET on AMC We are just two episodes into Season 3 of The Walking Dead, and the show has already shattered ratings records and helped put an end to AMC’s dispute with the DISH cable provider. If that’s not a successful season already, then I don’t know what is. Series star Andrew Lincoln and executive producer Gale Anne Hurd held a conference call just after Sunday night’s episode “Seed” to discuss the rest of Season 3....

Arthur Christmas hits theaters nationwide November 23, and if it’s successful, Sony Pictures Animation and Aardman Animation may just team up for a sequel. I recently had the chance to speak with co-writer/director Sarah Smith, who revealed some very interesting sequel (and prequel) possibilities as a follow-up to Arthur Christmas. Take a look at what she had to say below. Despite how intriguing these sequel possibilities sound, don’t expect to hear any development on an Arthur Christmas follow-up quite yet....

Back to the Future star and beloved Hollywood legend Michael J. Fox has an idea for a remake — a remake that he believes will certainly happen eventually. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Fox offered a brief pitch for a Back to the Future reboot, positing that you could gender-swap the main character of Marty McFly. Fox’s suggestion that a Back to the Future remake should cast a woman as the main character is sure to annoy the usual suspects....

Former Jackass star Bam Margera has reportedly put in the motion to dismiss his lawsuit against the Jackass Forever filmmakers. Per TMZ, the actor, prankster, and daredevil has settled the wrongful termination lawsuit he’d filed against fellow Jackass veterans Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, and Spike Jonze, as well as Paramount Pictures, MTV, and others associated with the project. The financial terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. This marks the end of a legal battle between Margera and his former friends that had gotten rather heated at times....

Baz Luhrmann entered Hollywood in the early ’90s with the cult classic hit, Strictly Ballroom. He has been a present and consistent voice ever since, raking in two BAFTA’s, one Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. His movies have, generally, all been well-received. A few have even spun cult followings. Baz grew up in Australia to parents Barbara Carmel and Leonard Luhrmann. His mother, Barbara, was a ballroom dance teacher. Growing up around this scene would influence and ignite Baz’s creativity for years to come, specifically his first film....

Some of the most iconic films of all time have been rooted in dance and song. Combining different media when telling a story is a powerful tool not only because of how entertaining it can be, but also because movement and song express what words oftentimes cannot. In a musical/dance film, when a character simply can’t say what they are feeling, they pour their soul into a dance. From classic 80s movies, such as Dirty Dancing, Footloose, and Flashdance, to critically acclaimed dramas like Black Swan and La La Land, dance has helped to create some of today’s most beloved movies....

The world of animation in film is a vast and endless realm, where boundaries are tested and lines are redefined. As much as we appreciate the art that goes into live-action movies, there is something about animated movies that bring out the magic of film in new, refreshing, and creative ways. When we think about animated movies that are must-watches, nothing stands quite as tall as Studio Ghibli. We understand that Disney and Pixar own a huge part of the animation space....

The emblematic salutes, the aggressively defiant rallies, the Hugo Boss-designed uniforms, the abhorrent slaughter of Jewish Europeans, the swastika. All are symbolic of Nazism, and the tyrannical reign of Adolf Hitler. Traditionally, cinema in the west has laid bare the war crimes and evil that the powers that be in Nazi Germany were responsible for. Us good guys vs those bad guys. Updated January 4th, 2021: Curious about World War II movies from a German and Axis perspective?...

While Marvel and DC go to extremes to ensure that plots and casting news stay secret until they want the world to know, a new enemy has recently reared its head. It continues to attempt to thwart their heroic efforts to keep their biggest mysteries under a cloak of vague denial for months or even years. This threat of spoilers comes in the form of merchandise, and in particular, toy lines linked to the biggest movies, which release pre-orders months in advance and therefore tend to offer up information that has not been officially released in any synopsis or trailers....

The Good A heartfelt movie that tries to examine dating in today’s society. The Bad I think Zoe Cassavetes should have done a commentary track. Broken English is the light on it’s feet but heavy hearted tale of Nora Wilder (Parker Posey). Nora, like a lot of us in her thirties is still searching for that perfect relationship. She is looking for the right guy and just when she thinks she’s found her prince he turns out to be a frog....
