The last time director Neill Blomkamp released a science-fiction film with political overtones in August, the result was "District 9." Four years late...

Earlier on Monday, Sony previewed the trailer and a few minutes of footage from "Elysium," director Neill Blomkamp’s long awaited follow-up to “Di...

I'm declaring a moratorium on the "found footage" mock documentary. And, while we're at it, how about the same thing for movies shot to look like they're hand-held documentaries, even when they're just fiction films?

Maybe the proliferation of computer-generated imagery in contemporary film has so inured us to visual magic that we don't even appreciate what a miracle Jonathan Liebesman's Battle Los Angeles is.

You have to hand it to a horror movie that finds thrills and scares in a premise without having a massive budget with which to work. Though Monsters wants to be, it runs out of ideas long before it runs out of movie.

Attention celebrity publicists: Cut it out. You need to research the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was then that the star machine created real superstars.

I've been asked to weigh in on whether Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds will somehow game the system or benefit from the screwy new best-picture voting process. Here's what I think: I don't care.

Visual effects artists typically work with no contract, no paid vacation, no benefits, and often no paid overtime. And because of the nature of the work health problems are common.

Quibbling over Oscar nominations is as futile as quibbling over who left the cap off the toothpaste. No matter what you say or how emphatically you protest, you know it's going to happen again.

When the Oscar nominations were announced this morning there were several key omissions. No Julianne Moore? No Samantha Morton?

For the first time in recent memory, none of the best-director nominees directed movies that weren't also nominated for best picture.

The Oscar nominations were out Tuesday morning, and there are a few more Best Picture contenders to consider. This year, for the first time since 1943...

Cinephiles will remember this as the year in Pixar reached new emotional heights, Clooney proved to be king, tween audiences ruled the world, and Quentin Tarantino returned to form.

My ReThink Review of Neill Blomkamp's excellent film, District 9, and why its creativity and social/political commentary make it a modern classic.

As everyone and their sister already knows, Inglourious Basterds scored a genuinely impressive $38 million over its debut weekend.

District 9 is one of those movies that comes to the screen out of the blue with no name actors and no real appeal except in this case it is produced by Peter Jackson.

Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience may have been the smartest movie I've seen this year, but Neill Blomkamp's District 9 is definitely the most fun.

"I felt like half of my mind wanted to make some serious film about these topics and the other half wanted to make a bloody genre film, "said Blomkamp. "And then I thought maybe I'll be able to do both."
