‘Toy Story 4’ TV Spot Summons Forky From The Netherworld One thing is clear:Toy Story 4is going to have a lot more existential dread than the last three films. That’s thanks to Forky, the new character that begs the question: just what is it that makes a toy a toy? And we’re talking the secretly sentient type of toy here, too. Is every single thing a kid plays with a toy – and if so, does that mean anything a child plays with will come to life?...

‘Twin Peaks’ To Be Reborn In Third Series?

A ‘Pumpkinhead’ Remake Is In The Works From ‘Saw’ Producer Peter Block The normal human reaction to hearing the news of another movie getting remade is to moan and groan and fling your keyboard across the room before shouting at the sky and demanding to know why Hollywood is out of ideas. And then you begrudgingly leave your home to go buy a new keyboard. However, I cannot imagine anyone on the planet needing a new keyboard after hearing the news that the 1988 horror moviePumpkinheadis getting remade....

But with this year’s bump to 10-nominated films, I didn’t expect the traditional event to take place. I was wrong. AMC will be showcasing all ten movies nominated for best picture at a two day event, split over two Saturdays: February 27th and March 6th, 2010....

Arnold Schwarzenegger Considering Scripts, Including WWII Tale ‘With Wings As Eagles’ Now thatArnold Schwarzenegger’s term as Governator has ended, it’s time to see if he’ll go back to acting in any serious way. A very brief cameo inThe Expendablescould have been him dipping a toe back into the waters after his years in office, or it could have been a final love note to fans. Looks like it’s more likely the toe-dip, as the actor recently said, “movie-making is a part of my future plans....

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Kindergarten Cop Performance Proved His Co-Star’s Worries Wrong Is it sacrilege to say I like Arnold Schwarzenegger as a comedy actor more than an action star? Out of all his movies, the ones I’ve revisited the most are either comedies (“Twins,” “Kindergarten Cop”), films that satirize the tropes of Arnold’s shoot-em-ups (“Last Action Hero”), or “Batman & Robin” (sorry, my days of pretending I don’t enjoy Joel Schumacher’s neon-lit queer camp bonanza are long behind me)....
