As I type this, I'm on a flight to Park City, Utah, to attend the Sundance Film Festival. It's a very, VERY, bumpy flight -- headwind, turbulence a...

The days of stifling your tears in the theater are over! Indeed, wails are welcomed at New York's 92nd Street Y TriBeCa, which is ushering in a new br...

"This is not a story about September 11th," proclaim ads for "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," open now nationwide. "It's about every day after."...

Moviefone is headed to Sundance! Well, technically, I, along with my esteemed editor, Michael Hogan, are headed to the Sundance Film Festival. I'm equally excited and scared about this year's festival -- excited because there are a lot of movies that I want to see; scared because, as a first time attendee, I have zero idea what I'm doing. (If you happen to be at Sundance and you see a very confused looking person that's about to cry, that's me.) So, for the next few days, expect an onslaught of updates that will range anywhere from maniacal glee to raw terror.

There is a lot going on in "Haywire," Steven Soderberg's new espionage movie about double-crossed government contractors. There's so much going on, in fact, that we decided an obsessive chat with Hollywood.com's Matt Patches was necessary. (Spoiler alert, obviously.)

With one day until the release of the action-packed beauty of "Haywire," its stars are coming out to confirm what you already know: that Gina Carano, ...

"Red Tails" is a Lucasfilm production that's loosely based on the Tuskegee Airmen, a band of African-American pilots who fought in World War II. While watching the new film, it was hard not to notice that "Red Tails" is quite similar to another Lucasfilm production about a band of pilots who fought for the Rebel Alliance: "Star Wars." Just how similar is "Red Tails" to the original "Star Wars"?

To prepare for his wolf-boxing feature, "The Grey," Liam Neeson took method acting to the next level: eating frozen wolf meat. "[Wolf jerky] was q...

On Feb. 10, "Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace" gets re-released in 3D. There are many things about "The Phantom Menace" not to like: Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, the taxation of galactic trade routes. There is one thing that we all did seem to like: Darth Maul.

In a forest-clearing New York Times profile, George Lucas pulled a Soderbergh (new catch phrase?): "I'm retiring." "I'm moving away from the busine...

On Jan. 17, 1962, in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, James Eugene Carrey was born. Fifty years later, James -- better known to you as Jim Carrey -- is one of the biggest comedy stars in Hollywood (the middling returns for "Mr. Popper's Penguins" notwithstanding.) But what's his best contribution to cinema?

To a certain extent, all comedians traffic in misery; disappointment, rejection, eternal loneliness and depression -- these are the backbones of come...

Last night, like the rest of Earth's lost souls, I watched the Golden Globe awards. Like you, I was not nominated for a Golden Globe, yet still watc...

You've read the rest of the year-end critics' lists, now check out the best? Director Quentin Tarantino has passed along his comprehensive rundown of...

While the superhero-packed film "The Avengers" has every comic book lover's heart aflutter, a concern lingers on just how the coming blockbuster will ...

This weekend, Mark Wahlberg invades your local Cineplex with a movie about smuggling called "Contraband." As it turns out, I think that "Contraband" has a lot of plot holes, and so does Cinemablend's Katey Rich. So we decided an obsessive discussion was in order.

If you're waiting with bated breath for Kate Winslet's onscreen reunion with a famous cast mate, (and you didn't care for "Titanic") good news! Winsle...

That bad dream you had about "Grown Ups 2" late last year isn't going away. The sequel-to-be has reportedly been given a summer release date of July 1...

The beginning of the film "The Devil Inside" may state that the Vatican did not endorse the movie, but that apparently didn't stop one California chur...

Say what you will about 2011, but there sure were a lot of great acting performances by women. So many that, according to the self-appointed prognosti...

Can Jenny from the block win an Oscar? According to Mark Wahlberg, as long as she stars in "Cocaine Cowboys." One of the dozens of projects that Mo...

For a night known as Hollywood's most notorious open-bar gala, the Golden Globes ceremony remains shrouded in mystery. Most viewers probably don't eve...

There is apparently going to be a remake of "Police Academy." Right now, there is an alternative universe in which, back in 1984, someone with sense said, "You know, we really don't need a second 'Police Academy' movie." In that alternative universe, it would be fun on a day in which a "Police Academy" remake gets a director, to make a list of what actors that we'd like to see in a "Police Academy" remake. For a few minutes, let's pretend that we're in that alternate universe.
