We already know that the original already filmed ending of Brad Pitt's apocalyptic zombie thriller, "World War Z," was scrapped. But which scenes in the final version, which hits theaters this weekend, were rewritten by Drew Goddard, Damon Lindelof and Chris McQuarrie?

A source close to the production of...

It's odd but we are way beyond being shocked when someone attacks George Lucas' involvement in the Star Wars movies. In fact, it's now considered contrarian to defend Lucas. I saw further evidence of this in my Twitter feed after a

The idea of seeing Monsters University did not appeal to me. Here's what I remember about the first film in the series, Monsters Inc.: (A) I liked it and (B) I paid to see it only because the trailer for Attack...

Man of Steel opened to a triumphant box office take over the past weekend, though there are still some lingering questions about the end of the movie. (If you haven't seen Man of Steel, this might be a good time...

Earlier this week, a sketchy Star Wars rumor made its way around the Internet. In a nutshell, the rumor claimed that casting calls were put out for the twin sibling characters of Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo, two...

There is a scene in 1978's Superman where a young girl's cat gets stuck in a tree. The cat's name is Frisky, which seems to be a common cat name, though I have never met a cat named Frisky. (For that matter, I...

This Friday, Superman returns to theaters after a seven-year hiatus. For Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder (Watchmen) tapped British thespian Henry Cavill to play one of the most iconic American characters of the past 100 years. As a service...

Superman III (which turns 30 years old on June 17) is the only Christopher Reeve Superman movie that I saw in a movie theater. Like any nine year old at his first Superman movie, I remember enjoying it very much. As a...

Over the weekend, The Purge -- a movie with a minuscule $3 million budget -- took home a staggering $33.7 million at the box office. If there's a negative to be taken away from that success however, it's...

The thought of a British Superman had never occurred to me before hearing the eloquent voice of Henry Cavil on the other end of the telephone. Cavill, who just turned 30, was born on the island of Jersey, a British Crown Dependency, but his Superman in Zack Snyder's "Man of...

With the release of Man of Steel next week, it's hard not to think of the much-rumored and much-maligned Justice League of America movie.

If you don't know what Justice League is, it's basically The Avengers only with DC Comics...

Kevin Costner's voice is immediately recognizable in a "Kevin Costner" sort of way. So much so that when Costner called for our interview and asked for me by name, I felt stupid playing along by responding "This is Mike," as opposed to just blurting out, "I know you are Kevin...

When I was a kid, you had to be careful about certain comic books. Everything would be fine until, a quarter of the way through, you'd suddenly realize you're really reading a commercial. I specifically remember visiting the dentist and miraculously...

I often wonder how Josh Baskin feels now, 25 years after the release of the movie "Big," which told his (fictional) story. I wonder if he ever says to himself, right before falling asleep, You know, I'd probably be running MacMillan Toys by now if...

The apocalyptic comedy This is the End will open at a multiplex near you on June 12. In This is the End we are introduced to six friends by the names of Seth Rogen (Seth Rogen), James Franco (James...

M. Night Shyamalan is the director of the new Will Smith movie, "After Earth." This is a fact that you might not be aware of, because Shyamalan is not a major aspect of the film's marketing campaign. It's a twist from how things were for the 42-year-old director in the...

In person, Ellen Page gives off a cool, almost Arthur Fonzarelli vibe. The way that she will refer to you as "dude" has a little bit to do with this. Which brings with it a slight air of unexpected intimidation -- unexpected in the sense that not many human beings...

Director Louis Leterrier is in a better frame of mind than he was during the press rounds for 2010's "Clash of the Titans." That film, a box office success with $493 million in worldwide grosses, was plagued by controversy surrounding its rushed 3D conversion. Leterrier understands the critiques:...

Nick Offerman plays Ron Swanson on the beloved NBC series "Parks and Recreation," but that doesn't mean he's actually Ron Swanson. (Sorry, Internet.) The 42-year-old actor has 71 credits on his IMDb, ranging from "ER" and "The West Wing" to "Miss Congeniality 2." Not every character he plays loves bacon...

"No, there is another." This one line spoken by Yoda during "The Empire Strikes Back" set off three years of speculation before it was revealed in "Return of the Jedi" that Leia was Luke Skywalker's twin sister and, therefore, the "other" hope to defeat the Dark Side. Yet there was...
