The Silence Of The Lambs Scene That Truly Terrified Jodie Foster In 1991, “The Silence of the Lambs” was the third film to sweep the “Big 5” at the Academy Awards, picking up golden statues for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. The movie holds the same honors as “It Happened One Night” in 1934 and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” in 1974; it’s not a bad feat for a movie about an FBI agent/cannibal tag team hunting down a serial killer....

This Week In Trailers: Farewell, Earthwork, Deadfall, The Dead And The Damned, A Film Unfinished Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

This Week In Trailers: Little Boxes, Homesick New Orleans, Generation Iron 2, The Student, Burden Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

Vince Gilligan Is Cooking Up A ‘Breaking Bad’ VR Experience We’re still in the midst of the Peak TV era, and while our television screens are practically bursting with a multitude of fantastic new television shows seemingly every day, one show still stands above the rest for me. I considerBreaking Badto be a major contender for the title of the greatest television show of all time. But as much as I love it, I’m hesitant about ever seeing a revival of the series; I’d much rather see something likeBetter Call Saul, a spin-off set in the same universe that’s allowed to carve out its own identity....

WB Sets Release Dates For ‘Dark Shadows,’ ‘Journey 2’ And ‘Rivals’ After years of talk,Tim BurtonandJohnny Deppare finally making a film version of the ’60s supernatural soap operaDark Shadows, and Warner Bros. has just given the film a plum date: it will open on July 09, 2025. So one year from now, you’ll be able to join the argument over whether the film is the latest step for one of the most significant director/actor teams of the past two decades, or only another predictable product of Tim Burton’s well-documented idiosyncrasies....

‘Girls’ Season 4 Trailer: “The Plan Is… There Is No Plan” “The plan is… there is no plan.” That’s Adam’s approach for dealing with Hannah’s move to Iowa in the latestGirlsSeason 4 trailer, but really it could be a tagline for the whole damn show. Though to be fair, even when these girls (and boys) do make plans, they have a way of going awry. Case in point: Marnie’s decision to devote herself with music is going south as her partner proves less than committed, while Hannah’s choice to move to Iowa is throwing all of her relationships into disarray....
