Last week, the overlooked morsel of brilliance known as "Battleship" was released on Blu-ray. At this point, I can only assume that you own a copy and...
What Ben Affleck has done with his career is quite remarkable. I mean, sure, there have been reclamation projects before -- even George Burns foun...
It's shockingly evident that Karl Urban has an "interview mode," which is quite different than his "normal human being mode." When I met Urban on Frid...
Back in May, Rian Johnson -- who's currently at the Toronto International Film Festival promoting "Looper," a movie that he wrote and directed -- par...
Amy Adams has received three Oscar nominations in her career thus far, but she gives what is arguably her greatest performance in "The Master." That m...
When I met Colin Firth at his hotel during the Toronto International Film Festival, he immediately apologized for being, in his words, "fried" from je...
After the box office disappointment of "Total Recall," it's nice to see Colin Farrell re-team with his "In Bruges" director Martin McDonagh so quickly...
What you're about to read is a conversation between two exhausted human beings, both of whom have participated in one too many interviews during the T...
"I was much happier shooting 'Much Ado' than I've ever been." It's somehow both surprising and unsurprising to hear Joss Whedon say this about his...
Somebody, please cast Richard Gere in a science-fiction movie! Sure, it's hardly the first genre that comes to mind when you think of the suave, intel...
Genndy Tartakovsky's Emmy-winning version of "Clone Wars" never happened. At least, that's what LucasFilm would want you to believe, focusing instead ...
Both Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master and Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil: Retribution are currently out in theaters. These two men, as director...
Seth MacFarlane hosted the first "SNL" since 2010 to feature new cast members at the start of the season -- Aidy Bryant, Tim Robinson and Cecily Strong (Kate McKinnon joined the cast late last season) -- and he was ... fairly excellent. The last time "SNL" premiered after the Olympics we were unfortunate enough to get Michael Phelps as host.
Always following in the footsteps of "SNL" Scorecard, the "SNL" Relevancy Poll now kicks off its season as well. Remember, the Relevancy Poll is less about pure performance as it is a combination of buzz and airtime from Saturday night's show -- an opening show that featured three brand new cast members and, somehow, nobody got shut out. It also featured a casting decision that will change the balance of power on the show for one recently promoted repertory player, at least for a good part of the season.
As with the Star Wars Blu-ray discs, most of my anticipation for watching the Indiana Jones Blu-ray set gravitated toward the deleted scenes. Unfort...
After a four-year hiatus, Clint Eastwood (Firefox) returns to acting with the baseball-themed movie, Trouble with the Curve. In Trouble with the Cur...
It seems that music playlists dominate the "breakup" genre. (If you're reading this from 1992, please insert the work "mixtape" in place of "playlis...
It was perfect timing for "SNL" to have a chance to weigh in on the Mitt Romney "47 percent" scandal while it is still very much in the news cycle and the "SNL" seized the opportunity to kick off the Thursday installment.
It's a little strange to listen to Michael Bay complain about how difficult it was to get his next feature film, "Pain & Gain," financed and produced....
Joseph Gordon-Levitt did an admirable job with what he was given, but it's painfully obvious that the Thursday night primetime special took a lot of the political punch out of the show -- a political punch that was sorely needed.
The airtime wealth was spread around so much in Week 2 (well, except for Aidy Bryant who, two weeks in, has still only had one short scene) that there wasn't a clear, dominating cast member. Which, yes, is refreshing.
"Remember This?" is a recurring feature on HuffPost Entertainment, resurrecting pop-cultural artifacts that haven't enjoyed the spotlight for quite ...
In the new time-travel thriller "Looper," Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, respectively, play the younger and older versions of a man named Joe....
In the new time-travel thriller Looper, Bruce Willis (Mercury Rising) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) both star as Joe, an assassin who must kill his older self when he comes back from the future. Did that last sentence confuse you? Is Looper one of the best movies of the year? As a service, we ask and answer every question that you could possibly have about Looper.
In 2008, these specials brought out guests like Bill Murray and Will Ferrell. In other words: It truly felt like an event. This year? It really felt no different than anything that aired on the Saturday night show.
