Who SHOULD have won the Oscar in 2013?

Inde Navarrette is having a little fun with her ‘OBSESSION’ fame. The actress stars in a new David Protein Ice Cream ad that playfully riffs on the film, complete with a familiar “no, no, no” moment that horror fans will immediately recognize!

‘THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD’ is being praised for its craftsmanship, particularly its cinematography and production design. “It is the death of Robin Hood, but the birth of a new way at looking at an iconic and legendary character, a myth reinvented through a new lens.” - Deadline

A new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day just dropped, with a much deeper look at the film, coming to theaters July 31.

Four horror movies, one director. Michele Soavi StageFright (1987) The Church (1989) The Sect (1991) Cemetery Man (1994)

Critics praise 'The Death of Robin Hood' 🏹 • "Hugh Jackman turns the hero’s tale into a bloody, brilliant reckoning" — SF Chronicle “[The] first act basically makes ‘Game of Thrones’ look like child’s play … Hugh Jackman has probably never had to completely disappear into a role quite like this one before and he is game to do it all the way” — Deadline In theaters this Friday 🍿

Some of you have been convinced to believe that there's only one PLF brand that has the biggest screens and best sound. But Dolby, Cinemark XD, Regal RPX, AMC Prime and XL also have larger screens supported by Dolby Vision, HDR by Barco, and Dolby Atmos sound. SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY not getting an image maximum release isn't the end of the world.

We are very sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. Chase memorably played Samara in The Ring back in 2002, and also appeared in Donnie Darko. She voiced Lilo in the animated movie Lilo & Stitch, and later starred in the TV series Big Love.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is the first film to be shot for ScreenX! Select sequences will expand to a 270-degree image across three screens.

@Doug_Pembry Hi @Doug_Pembry, we implemented the "passionate minority" rule in May of 2024.

Inspired by those scripts that made it because just a few people believed, Gauntlet founders built their system with a “passionate minority” rule. At level 1, if a minority of just 2 or 3 Gauntlet analysts approve your script with high ratings, it can climb to Level 2. Famously, execs and industry readers didn’t ‘get’ Charlie Kaufman’s stories. Yet, he went on to win Best Original Screenplay in 2024 for “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”

I saw The Bear at a film festival and wasn’t ready for how jaw-dropping it is. It became a phenomenon in France, topping 88's box office. The story of an orphaned cub that bonds with a huge Kodiak as hunters close in sounds like Disney, but it's unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Labels such as "sequel," "reboot" and "remake" have become trigger words for Hollywood studios. Sony, for example, is marketing "The Social Reckoning" as a "companion piece" to "The Social Network" and not a "sequel." "Audiences have been trained to think 'sequel' means homework. People want something new, so when you put a '2,' '3' or '4' in the title, it gets a groan,” says one marketing executive. “'Reboot' just sounds like something was underperforming so we’re going to redo it. 'Remake' is the same. People think, 'Oh, you're just recycling stuff we've seen before.'" Read more here: wp.me/pc8uak-1lHpso

June 17, 2012: Stuntman & actor George Leech dies at 90 in Cardiff, Wales. He appeared in 11 Bond films & is the only other performer besides Burt Kwouk & Terry Richards to appear in both the 1967 "Casino Royale" & "You Only Live Twice."

The delay of the Alien: Romulus sequel, according to recent reports, stems from Ridley Scott, as producer, making the director search more difficult because he reportedly wants to direct the film himself. However, Scott has not publicly confirmed any desire to return to the director’s chair. What is clear is that the delays are mainly due to the ongoing search for a new director and earlier creative differences, particularly around bringing back Michael Fassbender’s David. Fede Álvarez, who directed Alien: Romulus, completed a script for the sequel but announced in September 2025 that he would not return as director. He's staying on as producer alongside Ridley Scott. If Scott does return to continue the story with David, it would certainly be exciting for fans, but he has previously said he feels he’s done enough directing in the franchise.

Go outside and look at the moon! The moon and Jupiter, a single raw photo captured just a moment ago. Since the moon is at such a slim phase, it’s possible to overexpose it and see stars. You can also see satellites as thin streaks.

The old RKO lot is now part of Paramount. This is roughly how that view looked in September 2025.

One of the best posters ever. #filmtwt
