Last year we ranked the entire roster of Pixar characters, but that was mere child's play compared to the challenge of sifting through 26 feature films in the DreamWorks Animation catalogue. Do you seriously ever sleep, Jeffrey Katzenberg?

Tied to this weekend's new film "The Croods,"...

As the "Die Hard" franchise passes its healthy 25-year anniversary milestone, it also launches a robust (and perhaps unnecessary?) fifth entry, "A Good Day to Die Hard," which hits theaters this Friday.

With McClane and son making Valentine's Day safe from Russian terrorists,...

Engaging and experimental. Esoteric and commercial. Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh has enjoyed a wildly eclectic career that has seen him ascend to the highest highs (winning a Best Director Oscar for "Traffic," the blockbuster "Ocean's" trilogy) and drop to the lowest lows (a decade-long dry spell, fired from "Moneyball")....

With the release of "The Last Stand," Arnold Schwarzenegger is officially back in the action movie game. Hear that, Jesse Eisenberg, it's not safe for you to make movies anymore... the jocks are in charge again!

To celebrate this, we've plucked a couple...

Jamie Foxx's slave-turned-bounty hunter Django in this year's "Django Unchained" may be the fastest gun in the South, but he is definitely not the only black cowboy worth his salt. From as far back as the 1930s through the exploitation pictures of the '70s and into the present...

Thirteen years ago, George Lucas dropped "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" with a loud toilet splash. Two years later, Peter Jackson launched the far-more beloved "Lord of the Rings" trilogy with "The Fellowship of the Ring." By 2005 Jackson had won Best Picture, while Lucas had absorbed a...

He's not...

A lot of people think there's no more to directing a movie than to be able to make framey fingers while yelling "Action!" and "Cut!" Needless to say, there is more to it than that, but to make a James Bond movie requires a very specific toolbox.

Since it launched way back in 1979, Nickelodeon has been a safe haven for children with an actual sense of humor, where real kids issues are explored right alongside burping, farting and, of course, buckets of slime. Nickelodeon Movies has continued that tradition of delivering family entertainment with an edge,...

To replace the star of a successful, ongoing franchise is a huge risk, one that rarely (if ever) works out. Yet, film series do this all the time; sometimes its due to alleged acting deficiencies (Maggie Gyllenhaal for Katie Holmes in "The Dark Knight"), contract disputes (Mark Ruffalo for Ed...

Now that "The Dark Knight Rises" has wrapped Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy in a neat little bow, many are wondering how Warner Bros. will reboot the series without him. Those who have seen the film know it ends with a perfectly logical place to go with the character,...

It's appropriate that Pixar Animation Studios' first feature, 1995's "Toy Story," was centered on the world of playthings. Since then, no entertainment entity has been able to tap into our inner child with more consistently boundless imagination than the team spearheaded by John Lasseter.
