Keanu Reeves appears in one of the best movies of the summer -- but unlike "The Matrix" franchise, this one likely isn't coming to a theater near you.

Called "Side by Side," the limited-released documentary -- which debuts in Los Angeles on Aug. 17 before...

Maybe Disney should forget Mars altogether. Almost one year to the day that the studio released the high-budgeted "Mars Needs Moms" to some terrible box-office returns, the Mars-set "John Carter" landed with similarly dire results. The Andrew Stanton film, which cost $250 million to produce, could...

After winning the Best Of NEXT audience award at the Sundance Film Festival in January, comedian Mike Birbiglia's "Sleepwalk With Me" was so popular at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, that organizers had to turn fans away at each of its screenings last week.

Jennifer Lawrence landed on the A-list earlier than most. Oscar-nominated for 2010's "Winter's Bone" at just 20 years old, the Kentucky-born actress won the coveted role of Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" last year, meaning her meteoric rise should only increase, provided the film cashes in as...

"Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me," read an infamous 2005 classified ad that quickly became an Internet meme. "This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before."...

Remember the movie you thought Judd Apatow wanted to make when he directed "Funny People"? Picture if he had gotten the tone right, swapped out Seth Rogen's whining with some Woody Allen-style meditations on modern romance, and used Mates of State as a key music cue...

From Joss Whedon to David S. Goyer to Nicolas Winding Refn, filmmakers have repeatedly tried to resurrect Wonder Woman for today's audiences. The problem? It seems no one can actually get a feature film based on the iconic DC Comics character off the ground....

As Sony had hoped, the world premiere of "21 Jump Street" at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin on Monday night provided the new comedy with just the right kind of buzz. Audience members went nuts for the film, and that kind of enthusiasm could make...

If Lizzy Caplan is the early frontrunner for It-Girl of 2012, then consider Jake Johnson her male counterpoint. The 32-year-old actor, who has broken out on the hit Fox series "New Girl," has a brief appearance in this weekend's "21 Jump Street," and will...

South by Southwest is populated by more than just bearded hipsters and cool kids; the Film, Music and Interactive legs of the annual Austin fest also feature stars. They're just like us! Aimlessly walking around hotel lobbies and/or contending with chatty screening attendees (couple sitting next to Willem Dafoe at...

For his feature film directorial debut, Seth MacFarlane didn't play it safe with a "Family Guy" movie; instead, he wrote an R-rated, live-action-cum-animation hybrid about a man and his talking teddy bear. In the packed Vimeo Theater inside the Austin Convention Center at SXSW on Sunday...

"Ohhhhhhh man, this thing is great," wrote film critic Eric D. Snider on Twitter following the world premiere of "The Cabin in the Woods" at SXSW on Friday night. "I want to make out with it."

What he said. Co-written by geek emperor Joss Whedon ("The Avengers")...

Conventional Hollywood wisdom states that films eyeing the Academy Awards must to make a splash in Canada. The Toronto International Film Festival helped launch Best Picture winners-to-be like "American Beauty," "The Hurt Locker" and "The King's Speech" to awards glory, and gave "The Artist" -- which premiered at...

What the South by Southwest Film Festival lacks in mainstream exposure, it makes up for in coolness. Forget Sundance, Cannes, Toronto and Telluride: Austin is where the hipper (and hipster) film fans direct their gaze to find their big deal movies. This year, however, SXSW is home to...

For her latest movie, writer-actress-producer Jennifer Westfeldt added a third hyphen to her usual cadre: director. Westfeldt -- best known for writing and starring in "Kissing Jessica Stein" and "Ira and Abby" -- stepped behind the camera for "Friends With Kids," a decision she said "freaked her out."...

Adam Scott might not be the Sonic Youth of actors, but he's still pretty darn beloved. Especially among the cool kids. Thanks to his everyman turns on "Party Down" and "Parks and Recreation," the 38-year-old actor has become known for playing well-meaning guys in projects everyone loves. That...

Mike Mills' indie darling "Beginners" is known as the film that finally won Christopher Plummer his Oscar. While it was a story of underdog triumph for the 82-year-old actor, "Beginners" left its star, Ewan McGregor, in a familiar spot: completely overlooked. McGregor -- who shot to fame with...

The "Project X" reviews are in -- and they're terrible! "It's pure bong water," sneered Tom Long from the Detroit News. "There is no way you could make this movie stupider or more pointlessly noisy than it already is," groaned the New York Post's Sara Stewart....
