Jane Fonda Honored With The Coolidge Award for Excellence in Film
After a career spanning 1960 to the present, Jane Fonda may be entitled to be called an icon or Hollywood royalty. But when the two-time Oscar winner, author, heath and fitness entrepreneur, activist and humanitarian was in Boston recently to be feted by the independent, non-profit Coolidge Corner Theater, she was the opposite of regal.
Yes, Fonda dressed in elegant, bejeweled black and exuded a classy professionalism. But she engaged with audiences at a fundraising dinner and at
Check Out the Full-Length Trailer for Fuller House
The first full-length trailer for Netflix’s Fuller House is here, transporting us back to the ‘90s – an era that seems so much more sane, even if at the time it surely didn't.
Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber visited Ellen this morning and following a discussion with the talk show icon, shared an exclusive new clip. The trailer reunites most of the original Tanner clan (plus Kimmy Gibbler) and welcomes a few new faces (Kimmy’s daughter and DJ’s sons to mention but a few).
The Jungle Book Super Bowl Breakthrough Spot Now Online
Did you catch the cool "breakthrough" Super Bowl spot for The Jungle Book? If you missed it, Walt Disney Pictures has brought it online, and it does a great job of furthering interest in director Jon Favreau’s upcoming live-action take on Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale. It's a pretty nifty fit to create a 3D feel to a teaser that's actually not. Check it out here. What's more, there's also a new full-length trailer,
Deadpool: How Marvel’s Biggest Misfit Fits In and Acts Out
Before the MCU (that is, the Marvel Cinematic Universe) was ubiquitous, the X-Men dominated film’s superhero landscape and for much of the early aughts, the X-Men series stood as a popular representation of Marvel Comics’ cinematic potential. But in 2008, the official MCU commenced with Iron Man, leaving Spider-Man under the control of Sony, and X-Men,
Kung Fu Panda 3 Editor Clare Knight Builds a Trilogy and a Family
If anyone was silly enough to bet against the appeal of pandas- especially the martial arts-loving kind- they’ll be sorely disappointed as Kung Fu Panda 3 topped the box office for a second weekend in a row. We chat to editor Clare Knight about spending the last 12 years working on the Panda trilogy, finding the ‘gold nuggets’ of Jack Black’s performance and potentially launching her son’s career as a voice actor (he’s five).
Super Bowl 50: X-Men: Apocalypse Spot
X-Men: Apocalypse got in on the Super Bowl ad extravaganza in a big, scary way. In what appears to be the biggest, boldest X-Men movie yet, director Bryan Singer and titular villain Oscar Isaac are bringing the pain in this appropriately apocalyptic Super Bowl spot.
Pitting the ancient mutant Apocalypse against the younger versions of our favorite X-men, including Sophie Turner as Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, and Alexandra Shipp as Storm, X-Men Apocalypse follows the theme of a lot of the major superhero films this year,
Super Bowl 50: Jason Bourne is Back
The team behind Bourne 5 has kept the film as mysterious as the skills the titular hero woke up having in the very first movie. The return of Matt Damon to the title role, along with The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass, meant that whatever the film was going to be,
Super Bowl 50: 10 Cloverfield Lane Spot
It was less than a month ago that J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot revealed the existence of a film no one was anticipating. Now, with a Super Bowl 50 spot that pours on the intrigue (without revealing a thing, really) 10 Cloverfield Lane is officially vexing. Starring John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and John Gallagher Jr., 10 Cloverfield Lane's latest spot at least hints at the return of the beast from the original Cloverfield,
Super Bowl 50: Captain America: Civil War Spot
Have you tried tweeting #TeamIronMan or #TeamCap yet? If not, give it a try and see what happens, it's sort of adorable.
Anyway, during last night's Super Bowl, Captain America: Civil War dropped some new footage on us, a brief, potent teaser that made the stakes as clear and stark as ever. The battle between Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) gathers superheroes on both sides,
Super Bowl 50: Independence Day: Resurgence Trailer
It was 20 years ago when Independence Day first blew up the White House in one of the most iconic Super Bowl spots of all time, so it was fitting, if predictable, that 20th Century Fox dropped Independence Day: Resurgence during last night's Super Bowl and once again destroyed much of America. The aliens are back in what appears to be an even more pissed off mood than the first time around.

Star Wars, The Revenant & Game of Thrones Shine at Visual Effects Society Awards
A bear, a dragon and a scavenger from Jakku walk into a bar. This start to a bad joke also functions as a decent (okay, not really) summation of the big winners at the 14th Annual VES Awards, the annual celebration that recognizes the real people behind the surreal, photoreal, and out-of-this-world visual effects that are such a huge part of the entertainment industry. The now infamous bear attack suffered by Hugh Glass (Leonadro DiCaprio) in The Revenant won the Outstanding Animated Performance in a Photoreal Feature.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies‘s Production Designer Melds High Society With the Undead
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the film adaptation of the novel adaptation of Jane Austen’s iconic tome of class, manners, marriage, and love, opens this week. Starring Lily James as heroine Elizabeth Bennett and Sam Riley as Mr. Darcy, these two have something else on which to focus their fraught, unlikely courtship: the undead. As a zombie disease sweeps through the bucolic British countryside and London walls itself off from the plague,

New Ghostbusters Images Show Melissa McCarthy & Gang in Civilian Clothes
Director Paul Feig has been Tweeting a steady stream of images from his upcoming Ghostbusters, which, in case you've been marooned in space and haven't heard, follows the exploits of four female ghostbusters, recasting the roles made famous by Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson with some of the funniest women around.

The New International Trailer for Gods of Egypt is Deliciously Over the Top
Director Alex Proyas's Gods of Egypt is one of those films that seems to revel in its' own absurdity. And we don't mean that pejoratively. Proyas is an ambitious director, as his work on Dark City, I, Robot and Knowing proves. The man clearly loves the weird and wild side of storytelling, and has infused his sci-fi narratives with genuine passion.
World Renown Composer Emilio Kauderer on Scoring Animation in Underdogs
Emilio Kauderer is a Los Angeles-based Argentine composer who scored the film El Secreto de Sus Ojos, which won the 2009 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Kauderer was then brought on to score last year’s English language remake Secret in Their Eyes, which starred Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman.

The film’s characters are animated so that their speech is in sync with both English and Mandarin.
