I have a confession: I fell out of love with Taylor Swift for a while.  I know, I know, it seemed that when everyone in the world was starting to fall even more in love with her, the music she made and her life didn’t hit as hard as my early-twenties self. While I heard

Australian filmmaker George Miller, whose origins story Furiosa will world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month before Warner Bros begins its global rollout May 22, says he’s still making Mad Max movies “because they’re very addictive.” Miller was speaking at CinemaCon on Monday in Las Vegas where he received the International Career Achievement in Filmmaking Award.

The list of upcoming video game movies just got a little bit longer and stranger, as The Sims, the popular life simulator where players essentially create a family and build a house around them, is getting a film adaptation.

Big news ahead of CinemaCon for Disney — and they’re not showing off their presentation until the last day of the exhibitor and studio love-in on April 11.

Dev Patel’s film debut in one of the 2000s’ best movies, Slumdog Millionaire, was considered a Cinderella story in almost going straight to DVD, only to become a theatrically-released Best Picture winner.

I can’t believe I’m actually about to type the following sentence, but here it goes. Director Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy has officially celebrated its 20th anniversary.

All due respect to Godzilla, but the first quarter of this year was a bust for Hollywood. There’s no getting around it. The news read like an April Fool’s joke without a punchline.

Jack Black is known for many terrific contributions to pop culture – from his unforgettable comedic performances to his excellent musicianship as part of Tenacious D – but one special area of focus for him in recent years (whether purposeful or not) has been in the realm of video game movies.

Zach Galifianakis‘ Alan Garner in The Hanger is easily one of the funniest characters of the 21st Century, and probably in all of cinema history.
