Sundance Movie Review: Choke I liked the last twoHarry Potterfilms more than people who hadn’t read the books. I’ve also noticed that the only people that seemed to likeThe Da Vinci Codewere those who had read the Dan Brown books. Is it because they were hardcore fans with too much time invested, or is it that they could fill in all the wonderful blanks which were cut to take the story to screen?...

The 14 Best Film Acting Debuts Of All Time As with most creative pursuits, there’s a lot to be said for good, old-fashioned experience. It takes time to get comfortable in front of the camera on a film set, even if you worked on stage or television before. So it makes sense that, most of the time, actors tend to start in small, unobtrusive roles and work their way up to leading man or leading lady status....

The Croods: Family Tree Trailer: The Prehistoric Crew Gets A New Series On Hulu And Peacock Last year, “The Croods: A New Age” found the titular character challenged by another prehistoric family called the Bettermans. More evolved than The Croods, it seemed like they had a much better life than Grug (Nicolas Cage), Ugga (Catherine Keener), Eep (Emma Stone), Thunk (Clark Duke), Gran (Cloris Leachman) and Guy (Ryan Reynolds), especially with better names like Phil (Peter Dinklage), Hope (Leslie Mann), and Dawn (Kelly Marie Tran)....

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter: Release Date, Cast, And More (Welcome to…And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you may watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) Few literary characters have returned to the screen as frequently as the scheming, titular vampire introduced in Bram Stoker’s classic 1897 gothic horror novel “Dracula.” That hasn’t changed in the 21st century, either, with recent depictions of the blood-thirsty monster running the gamut from the serious (Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat’s “Dracula” mini-series) to the supremely silly (Drac in the “Hotel Transylvania” movies)....

The Psycho Controversy Explained Nothing riles up the public quite like a horror film. For pretty much the entire last century and still somehow continuing into this one, movies of the macabre have attracted the biggest scolding of any film genre in Hollywood. People fear the unknown, and horror, suspense, and thriller films live in those realms. They revel in the naughty and uncouth, so it’s no wonder that horror cinema also seems to depict the most daring cinematic depictions of sexuality as much they do death, religion, and the supernatural....

Toy Story 3 In IMAX 3D Disney has announced that Pixar’sToy Story 3will be released in IMAX 3D on August 17, 2025, simultaneously with its wide release. This would be the first Pixar film released in IMAX. I’m not usually a fan of films blown up from 35mm to IMAX, but 3D films are a bit different.
