Don't worry. Mark Ruffalo isn't walking away, Bruce Banner-style, from The Hulk just yet.
Marvel fans have been in a panic ever since a Deadline story reported that some of the original cast of "The Avengers" might not be coming back for the much-anticipated sequel. The article speculated...

This Mother's Day, as you fete your mom with flowers, brunch, and a homemade card, we pause to remember those movie matriarchs who never got the love they felt they deserved. Joan Crawford never got respect from her own daughter in "Mommie Dearest," and Carrie didn't heed her mother's warning...

While we count down the hours until "Star Trek Into Darkness" hits theaters on May 16, we thought we'd check in with the original Enterprise crew.
You already know what the first James T. Kirk is up to these days (those Priceline ads air around the clock!) and...

Happy Birthday, Henry Cavill!
The hunky British actor turns 30 on May 5. Cavill sailed under the radar for many years with supporting roles and famously missed out on playing James Bond and Edward Cullen, but he's more than made up for that by landing the role of Superman...

In "Oblivion," moviegoers are guaranteed to have flashbacks to several film that the ambitious sci-fi flick clearly draws on.
Reviewers are noting that, while visually stunning, "Oblivion" borrows heavily from several classics, partly because director Joseph Kosinksi intended it as an homage to '70s movies including...

Not all your favorite actors are donning tights and blowing up stuff this summer: Many are more concerned with the simple pursuit of love and happiness, except that in the movies that's nearly as tricky a feat to pull off as saving the world.
This summer, we...

That's a big reason why there are very few heroic accountants in the movies (apart from, say, Ben Kingsley in "Schindler's List"). People who aren't good with numbers, like your average taxpayer and/or gangster, don't trust people who can balance the books, especially when they're telling us we owe more...

In honor of National Siblings Day (yes, it's a real holiday), we took the time to reflect on what family really means in the movies. If you've been watching the same films we have, it means relatives who embarrass you at every opportunity or indulge in ugly one-up-man-ship, like serving...

The "Evil Dead" remake, which opens Friday, is being billed as "the most terrifying film you will ever experience." Substitute "relentless" or "gruesome" for "terrifying" and you'd probably be more accurate. Since the film’s premiere at SXSW, it's been inspiring some rave reviews, but also walkouts and, reportedly, a fainting...

In the extremely gruesome remake of the classic horror flick "Evil Dead," (which opens this Friday) five kids go out to a cabin to help a friend detox, but quickly realize they are in way over their heads. Not every cabin has the Necronomicon in the basement, but...

You might know Jane Levy as a nice suburban teen on "Suborgatory," but she's unrecognizable as the poster child for evil in "Evil Dead." She starts off as just a junkie looking to detox at the proverbial cabin in the woods, but then things literally go...

"World War Z" has been plagued -- no pun intended -- with bad buzz since undergoing reshoots last year. But when Moviefone was invited to a preview last week along with a select group of outlets, star and producer Brad Pitt and director Marc...

"Room 237" is hardly your average documentary. Not only does it float some very out-there theories about what Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" is really about, it illustrates those points with clips from both the 1980 horror classic and dozens of other movies. Every single shot in the film...

"The Host" isn't Max Irons's first go-round at otherworldly romance or a tween-friendly love triangle: The actor (whose father is Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons), was previously in "Red Riding Hood."
This time around, however, he isn't dealing with werewolves, but aliens who've taken over most of the human race. His...

The documentary "Room 237" is not only a fascinating look at Stanley Kubrick's 1980 masterpiece "The Shining," but an examination of how we see and interpret movies and the often bizarre levels to which we obsess about them.
The theories discussed in the film come from five...

It seems that ever since Ronald Reagan took office in the '80s, everyone in Hollywood has been targeting the White House.
But we're not talking about career-changing political aspirations here; we're referring to something far more sinister, like attempted coups ("Seven Days in May"), murders of nonessential staff ("Murder...

"The Lovely Bones" star Saoirse Ronan steps into one of the most unusual dual roles in movie history in "The Host," as a human whose body is taken over by an alien parasite.
Since this is based on a book by "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer, there's...

"Nothing gold can stay," Ponyboy Curtis (C. Thomas Howell) memorably tells Johnny Cade (Ralph Macchio) in "The Outsiders," a line from a Robert Frost poem about how nothing good ever lasts. But 30 years after its release, the film has endured and become a touchstone coming-of-age movie that's quoted and...

In the new movie "Upside Down," Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst are would-be lovers kept apart by -- wait for it -- different gravitational fields. Their unique dilemma ups the stakes on the ordinary obstacles, like mere feuding families, which Romeo and Juliet had to contend with.
For...

Sitting down to interview Abigail Breslin about her new movie "The Call" is a little surreal, especially if you are still thinking of her as the 10-year-old beauty pageant wannabe from "Little Miss Sunshine."
Breslin is now 16 and playing a kidnap victim whose only hope is the cell...
