The grand prize -- a YEAR'S worth of free movie tickets -- will be awarded to a user with the most correct...

As I wrote yesterday (HERE), I don't care which of the two big releases end up at number one for this weekend.  Chronicle and The Woman In Black are both low-budget over/under $15 million releases that are somewhat abnormal in terms of what's considered a mainstream release, both were exceedingly well-marketed (as opposed to 'saturation marketing'), and both are unqualified hits after their first three days.  But since I have to choose which film to discuss first, I will pick Chronicle (review), which A) I've seen and B) is the unofficial #1 film this weekend with $22 million (as opposed to The Woman In Black, which made 'just' $21 million).  Chronicle announces the arrival of director Josh Trank (and writer Max Landis, son of John).  The quite compelling and thoughtful character study, which plays with the genre trappings of as...

This weekend, the world learned what "Friday Night Lights" fans have known since 2009: Michel B. Jordan is a star! And thanks to the one-two punch of "Red Tails" and "Chronicle," he now has two movies in the box office Top 10. And with "Chronicle" -- which is for all intents and purposes the best comic book movie in years -- snagging the top spot with $22 million, fans are clamoring for more! So I asked the man at the center of this hit if "Chronicle 2" is even a possibility given the events of the original.

When "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" first premiered on May 19, 1999, fan anticipation was feverish following 16 years without a new "Star Wars" feature film. Buoyed by a then-very-young Internet, "Star Wars" fans spent the lead-up to "The Phantom Menace" attempting to figure out just what secrets George Lucas had in store for the first prequel. That's a stark contrast to this week, which finds "The Phantom Menace" being re-released in 3D to a collective shrug amongst even the most die hard "Star Wars" faithful. In an effort to at least try to illustrate the frenzy that was the original "The Phantom Menace" release, Moviefone scoured some old posts on TheForce.net -- one of the few Star Wars fan sites still in existence that was also around in 1999 -- and, what turned out to be a great source for unsubstantiated rumors: Entertainment Weekly's 1997...

It appears Uggie the dog's coming retirement from the silver screen has more to do with a health condition than going out on top. The Jack Russell terrier, a scene-stealer in Best Picture front-runner "The Artist" and a fixture on red carpets and skateboards throughout awards season, is suffering from a neurological disorder that causes him to shake. It's those shakes that will keep Uggie from continuing his film career. "It's very sad but he is suffering from a mystery shaking syndrome," Von Muller told the Daily Mail. "It is a neurological disorder and we've spent thousands on vets' bills trying to figure out what is causing it but the experts don't really know." That sounds a lot more serious than what Von Muller told The Daily Beast back in December. "His health is good, but he has a bit of a shaking syndrome that white dogs...
