This is quite obviously the best trailer we have seen for this film so far. In fact, I would say it’s the best trailer we’ve seen in The Hobbit series thus far. It almost makes me look forward to this film — almost.

As you all will know, I’m of two minds about this. The geek/nerd (or whatever) in me is looking forward to this film because I can’t help it. On the other hand, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first film in this franchise of 3 based off one book, was a bloated and tangled mess with way too much fat that needed trimming for my taste.

Still, Peter Jackson cuts together a…

So, if Christina Aguilera is your thing, I suppose you’ll enjoy this trailer. If she’s not, well, you’ll probably still enjoy the trailer — unless you don’t like The Hunger Games. In which case, you probably did not click through to this article and you probably aren’t reading and/or watching anyway.

We’re getting might close to the release of this second installment now and I’m ready, I’m excited. I’m somewhat worried given some of the things that I’ve heard about the film recently, but I’m still hopeful. I loved the first film, and I’m hoping to like this one as well.

So yeah, this week I’m still crying about Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, but at least it’s not number one again. Bleh. No, a far better film got the top spot, for which I can at least be thankful! Now, I don’t think we can kid ourselves that Ender’s Game can stay on top this coming weekend when Thor: The Dark World makes its debut, but maybe it can scrape number two?

#1 — Ender’s Game

Budget: $110 Million
Totals: $27 Million, Weekend and Current Domestic / $9.1 Million, Foreign / $36.1 Million, Worldwide
Weekend: 1

I am not sure what rock I have been living under, but I had never heard…

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” is tracking for an opening weekend that could go as high as $185 million when it debuts on Nov. 22, based on box-office marketing data released Thursday.

The higher pre-release tracking goes, the less reliable it becomes, and we’re still three weeks away from the opening. But the Jennifer Lawrence sci-fi sequel looks like it will be a box-office monster for distributor Lionsgate Entertainment.

The distributor views the numbers more conservatively, and is at this point projecting an opening between $140 million and $150 million, citing the crowded…

I hope I don’t have to spell this out for you, but this is going to be spoilery if you haven’t seen the film yet (or read the book). So go do those things before you read this. Then come back!

Ready? Here comes the spoilers!

Ender realizes that he’s just committed genocide, stumbles out of the command center, wanders into a Formic cave, discovers an egg, has a telepathic conversation with a dying Formic queen who WIPES HIS TEARS AWAY WITH HER GIANT ANT FOOT, and then sets off to colonize a new Formic world with his egg. At this point I had three main thoughts, in roughly this…

When he took the “Star Wars” job a year ago, J.J. Abrams soon confirmed that he wouldn’t be returning to direct a third ‘Star Trek’ movie, which Paramount has been keen to move forward with sooner rather than later. Names likeRupert Wyatt and Jon M. Chu have been mentioned as potential directors, but according to Deadline, the frontrunner appears to be someone who Latino Review actually mentioned as being on a shortlist a little while ago:Joe Cornish, helmer of the excellent “Attack the Block.” 

In the three years since that film landed, Cornish has flirted with projects—comic-book…

By all accounts, The Fifth Estate — Bill Condon’s movie about WikiLeaks mastermind Julian Assange, starring Benedict Cumberbatch — was a box office disaster. After a lukewarm reception at Toronto and opening to mixed reviews last month, the film has only made a little over $3 million since its Oct. 18 release. Director Condon told EW he blames the lackluster response on Assange.

“We were all so excited [around the release date] because it was just in the news recently, but the opposite might be true, that it simply wore out its welcome and that there is something about Assange. I do think…

In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces–one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team.

This one airs November 19, with Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: The Next Generation) directing and guest stars such as Peter MacNicol, Michael Graziadei, Erin Way, Toby Wilson, Alex Neustaedter, and Sylvia Brindis.

Sounds good to me. I’ve found Frakes to be a pretty good director. I liked both of his Star Trek films (haters of Insurrection can just deal with it), and he’s directed…

“When you’re just looking at it on the page and you read ‘he kicks the crap out of Stilson,’ they say ‘Gavin what are you doing? This has got to get a PG-13 rating, and you’re putting violence, don’t you know what the issue of bullying is?’ And I say ‘Yeah I do, I’m going to speak to that issue.’ He knows that he goes too far and we couldn’t shy away from that.”

In fact, Hood says that it was this attention to the spirit of the story that attracted the mostly veteran cast to Ender’s Game. Instead of focusing on the flashy effects and the super-cool technology at hand, they were excited to…
