Bill Damaschke head of creative production at Dreamworks has promised that the fourth "Shrek" film, now titled, "Shrek Forever After," will be the final film in the series. Great, can we get that in writing and notarized?In what's probably an honest mistake, just regurgitating the comic-book ...

Our headline could be the title of an Onion article, but no, it's true.A geek with a discerning eye exists out there. Or at least this time out. Devin from Chud called "Watchmen" a masterpiece earlier this year (which feels a little more than embarrassing now), but perhaps having honed his ...

A new trailer for Miguel Arteta's adaptation of the cult C.D. Payne adult novel, "Youth In Revolt," has arrived and for once, it's nice to see a "new" trailer that actually has a substantial amount of new footage and shows pretty much a fairly different take on the film.Or, well... at least at ...

Thanksgiving. Best holiday ever. If we're going to watch a movie, it will probably be from the comfort of home — in the spirit of the occasion. But Hollywood is banking on families venturing out to the cinema over the long weekend, and they are usually right on the money. What are they going to ...

The past decade has been something of a renaissance in the children’s film genre. While the ‘70s and ‘80s brought us classic children’s films both animated and live action (“Watership Down,” “E.T.,” “The Black Stallion”), with a few exceptions (“The Iron Giant”), the ‘90s seemed to be devoted to ...
