Amy Sciarretto — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 12:34:33 +0000

The month of May 2013 kicks off the summer blockbuster season for movies, and there are lots of reasons to get your butt to the ice cold multiplexes, which always crank the AC to Arctic levels in the warm months. Take in a shoot ‘em up, a big budget actioner or a comic book flick. [...]

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oz' Still Reigns Supreme

Jacob Hall — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:54:48 +0000

For the second week in a row, ‘Oz the Great and Powerful‘ lived up to its title and dominated the box office. One of the newcomers managed to fare surprisingly well in the face of Sam Raimi’s blockbuster…but another simply got crushed. Film Weekend Per Screen 1 Oz the Great and Powerful $42,222,000 (-46.6) $10,793 [...]

Rob Says To Look For Comet Earlier Tonight

JayCee — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:58:38 +0000

According to Storm Team 3 Chief Meteorologist Rob Perillo, if you are wanting to get a glimpse of the comet Pan-Starrs tonight, you need to be looking up (with binoculars for best view) around sunset.

MacFarlane A Misogynist?

Chris Reynolds — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:48:41 +0000

I'm not a fan of Seth McFarlane. I find his "humor," especially in "Family Guy" and his other TV productions, to be tasteless and offensive. His stint as host of the Academy Awards was no departure from his usual antics.

Barbra Streisand, Adele + Shirley Bassey Got Together For the Last Diva Photo You'll Ever Need

Cassandra Rose — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:18:51 +0000

Ever wondered what the Powerpuff Girls would look like in real life? Well, look no further than Barbra Streisand, Adele and Shirley Bassey, who -- after killing it at the Oscars -- hung out together at the Governor's Ball.

With their powers combined they are ... Captain ~~Planet~~ Diva!

Ben Affleck Shaved His Beard + Should Have Also Won Best Dad Ever at the 2013 Oscars [PHOTO]

Jessica Sager — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:44:39 +0000

Ben Affleck was snubbed for Best Director, but nabbed Best Picture for 'Argo' -- and his own daughter won an award of her own before the 2013 Oscars started.

Just before showtime, Affleck took his daughter, Violet, to a spelling bee.

Dude, we finally forgive you for 'Gigli.'

Lawrence And Hathaway: Cute Overload

JayCee — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:38:36 +0000

As you probably know, I am not one to sit through much of anything on television (because they just don’t make shows like they used to… ha!!), so it was tough for me to watch more than a few minutes of the Oscars last night. And then (fanfare, please): Along comes the internet to save [...]

'Argo' Wins Best Picture at 2013 Oscars, Vindicating Ben Affleck Once and For All [VIDEO]

Jessica Sager — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:18:43 +0000

Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson, who, aside from their awesomeness couldn't be more different, announced the winner for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars -- and it was none other than 'Argo.'

And though he could have, Ben Affleck didn't rub anyone's nose in it. He's a much better person than we are.

2013 Oscars – Daniel Day Lewis Unsurprisingly Scores Best Actor Win [VIDEO]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:15:54 +0000

Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar for ‘Lincoln‘ — his third such trophy, which set a new record. The method actor beat out fellow nominees like the completely bored Joaquin Phoenix (‘The Master‘), Denzel Washington (‘Flight‘), Hugh Jackman (‘Les Miserables’), and Bradley Cooper (‘Silver Linings Playbook’) to score his Academy Award hat trick. He [...]

Jennifer Lawrence Wins Best Actress at 2013 Oscars, Remains Adorably Human [VIDEO, GIF]

Jessica Sager — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:14:14 +0000

Jennifer Lawrence didn't beat Meryl this time ... but only because Streep wasn't nominated for anything at the 2013 Oscars. Instead, J-Law beat Jessica Chastain, Quvenzhané Wallis, Naomi Watts and Emmanuelle Riva to win Best Actress.

And she fell down.

2013 Oscars – Barbra Streisand Sublimely Sings 'The Way We Were' for 'In Memoriam' [VIDEO]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:01:04 +0000

The much anticipated “In Memoriam” segment of the 2013 Oscars had us wondering one thing: “Where’s Barbra Streisand?” Not because we’re horrible people and wished her dead — but because it took a while for Her Highness to make her much-anticipated entrance. The annual tribute to the deceased members of the film world (actors, directors, [...]

Adele Brings the House Down With 'Skyfall' at the 2013 Oscars [VIDEO]

Jessica Sager — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:23:26 +0000

The 2013 Oscars were business as usual for Adele. And by “business as usual,” we mean “she slayed and acted like it was nothing.” With her flowing strawberry blond hair down instead of in her usual bouffant, the British chanteuse looked looser than ever, and her performance of the Oscar-winning ‘Skyfall’ reflected as much. Owning [...]

2013 Oscars – Anne Hathaway Wins Best Supporting Actress + Doesn't Bother Acting Surprised [VIDEO]

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:00:22 +0000

As even our pet rocks predicted, Anne Hathaway won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Fantine in ‘Les Miserables.’

It’s okay when they give Dame Judi Dench an Oscar for barely appearing in a film -- look up ‘Shakespeare In Love’ -- but she’s a Dame. We aren't sure it's cool if the actress hasn't been recognized by the Queen.

For her role, Anne Hathaway cut off her hair and cried while she sang and then she was done. It’s possible the Academy – while not surprising us at all – may have disappointed us just a bit.

2013 Oscars – Christoph Waltz Wins Best Supporting Actor [VIDEO]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 02:42:02 +0000

Christoph Waltz landed his second Oscar win for his role as Best Supporting Actor as German bounty hunter in the controversial Western ‘Django Unchained.’ Waltz’s first Oscar win was also for a Quentin Tarantino film for his role in ‘Inglourious Basterds.’ Waltz was a consummate professional when accepting his award, sending his respect to his [...]

2013 Oscars Red Carpet Fashion – Quvenzhane Wallis Is a Princess With a Puppy Purse

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 02:15:34 +0000

Quvenzhane Wallis, who is all of 9 and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, was adorable on the 2013 Oscars Red Carpet, wearing a princess-like blue dress with a shawl, poufy sleeves and slight black overlay, while carrying her now-signature puppy purse. Woof woof.

10 Vintage Oscar Moments

Emerald Catron — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:13:06 +0000

We’ve got some guesses as to what’s going to happen at the Oscars this Sunday. Nick Nolte’s already told us about his pet crow, so we’re guessing it’s just going to be women wearing insanely expensive, unnecessarily frilly, sparkly dresses giving canned answers and men in tuxedos posing for cameras. These pictures from the Academy [...]

Jacob Hall — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 16:05:24 +0000

With its March 1st release date looming, it looks like the marketing folks behind Bryan Singer's 'Jack the Giant Slayer' finally remembered that they have a movie to sell. Arriving hot on the heels of a teaser for the new trailer (oh, the days we live in!), the first official clip from the movie is full of all kinds of Giant action, although not too much Giant slaying. Check out the clip below.
