The Wolfpack Emotionally Reminds You Of The Power Of Movies

The Wolfpack's story should be overwhelmingly depressing. In fact, at times, it is. The film's topic is the Angulo family: in particular the seven children who have all been raised on welfare in a tiny four-bedroom apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They're only hardly ever allowed to leave their home because of their strict and overprotective father, who has the only key to the permanently locked front door. Some years, they never actually go outside. Rather than wallowing in their injustice, though, there's an indomitable spirit that surrounds the Angulo siblings, which you can't help but be ...

Will Gambit Show Up In X-Men: Apocalypse? Here's What Channing Tatum Says

Marvel and DC aren't the only ones expanding their cinematic universes. Over at Sony, the X-Men franchise is very much alive and kicking. We'll see X-Men: Apocalypse next  year, and a Gambit solo movie shortly after that. Star Channing Tatum dropped a clue about whether or not we'll see the creole mutant in Apocalypse. CinemaCon is in full swing in Las Vegas, and when MTV caught up with Tatum to talk about the upcoming Magic Mike XXL, they couldn't resist popping the question about Gambit possibly showing up in Apocalypse. Tatum was evasive, but said: I don't know if I'm ...

Adam Scott's The Overnight May Be 2015's Most Shocking Comedy

Hollywood is still petrified of male nudity. While it can sometimes appear as though actresses are encouraged to depart with their attire at every possible opportunity to prove just how brave they are, even the hint of a penis is discouraged as lewd and offensive.  The fact that this issue is still prevalent in 2015 is a tad ridiculous, and so it's to The Overnight's eternal credit that it approaches it head on in a bold and open fashion. But to simply focus on this aspect of The Overnight would be doing the film an injustice. Patrick Brice's outrageous comedy is ...

10 Big Reasons You'll Love The Avengers: Age Of Ultron

It seems like only yesterday when Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and director Joss Whedon revealed the title of the anticipated Avengers sequel to an excited fanbase gathered in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con. Instead, it was two full years ago, and the superhero sequel's actually unspooling in movie theaters around the globe. Some of you have been lucky enough to see the movie already -- The Avengers: Age of Ultron began screening at midnight in international markets. Others, like our readers in the States, have to wait until next week. My Age of Ultron review went up yesterday, ...

Chilling New Ex Machina Trailer Warns Of The Dangers Of A.I.

The topic of artificial intelligence seems to be as prevalent as ever on the cinematic scene. While the upcoming Avengers Age of Ultron looks to showcase that aspect in a big-budget popcorn capacity, sci-fi thriller, Ex Machina is already dissecting the topic in a poignant fashion in its early-release showings. Now, a brand new trailer focuses on the film's disturbing philosophical predicaments. Take a look: Continuing to garner attention for this artfully claustrophobic exploration of A.I. implications, this latest trailer for Ex Machina distinguishes itself in its presentation of the foreboding immediacy of the film's premise. The pulsation of ...

The Moment In Showgirls Elizabeth Berkley Still Loves

Showgirls is one of the most well-known movies of all time. It was also Elizabeth Berkley's biggest flop, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have an army of cult fans who appreciate the flick and its campiness. Berkley realizes this wasn't the most impressive performance of her career, and she looks back on the film with mixed emotions. But there is one scene she still loves.  Berkley went on Instagram to reveal her favorite moment from Showgirls. It's not any of the crazy dance scenes, it's not her audition in front of that "prick" Tony Moss, it's not her Skinemax-style ...

Star Trek 3 May Have An Actual Non-Star Trek 3 Title

The upcoming third film in the rebooted, reenergized and retconned Star Trek series may have just set course with a title. Already rumored to be focusing more on the exploration aspect of the original TV show, the threequel is reportedly looking to thrill audiences under the auspices of the title, Star Trek Beyond. Could this really be the title under which the U.S.S. Enterprises once again heads into warp speed? According to a report from TrekMovie, the title Star Trek Beyond was registered with the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America). The move seriously suggests that, barring the ...

Why Batman v Superman Isn't A Man Of Steel Sequel

If you've read many Internet rants or seen the latest Honest Trailer, people have some reservations about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The teaser trailer brought up a lot of questions as to what this movie actually is. Is it a Man of Steel sequel? Is it supposed to introduce Batman? Is it setting up Justice League? According to Henry Cavill, the answers are no, yes and yes.  MTV recently caught up with the Superman actor in Las Vegas for the CinemaCon presentation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and pressed him for details. Though he ...

Michael Fassbender Is Great In Slow West, Like Boba Fett Meets John Wayne

Actors are always towing the line between artistry and commerce. More of the latter means the freedom to the former, and thus the opportunity to truly push their talents by taking the risks that are usually restricted when they're stuck in the confines of Hollywood. This year's Tribeca Film Festival is packed with lower budget, more character driven projects that are populated with some of the finest and most renowned actors in the world. Without them, these films would probably have struggled to amass their budgets, but with them their status is immediately elevated.  One such effort is Slow West, ...

Watch J.J. Abrams Do The Twizzler Challenge With Chewbacca

There's something called The Twizzler Challenge. It's a lot like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but instead of promoting ALS awareness, it seeks to raise money for New York Collaborates for Autism, and instead of pouring ice water over your head, you have to eat a Twizzler with someone in the style of Lady and the Tramp. After Jimmy Kimmel did it with Rihanna on his late-night talk show — that lucky bastard — he challenged J.J. Abrams, but his was much more weird.  The Star Wars: The Force Awakens director completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge back when it was ...

Johnny Depp Shows His Latest Physical Transformation In Black Mass Footage At CinemaCon

From Edward Scissorhands to Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp has long demonstrated a proclivity towards drastically altering his appearance when getting into a role. As it turns out, his part in his next movie, Scott Cooper's Black Mass, is yet another performance that can be added to that ever-growing list, as the actor has once again changed his entire look in order to portray notorious real-life gangster Whitey Bulger. I know about this new extreme makeover because this evening I had the chance to watch the first ever footage from Black Mass, which was shown during the Warner Bros. presentation at ...

The Entity Is Getting Remade For Some Reason

He may have a billion-dollar-earning movie under his belt with Furious 7, but director James Wan is a hardcore horror fan. Now he's returning to his genre roots, bringing along some of his co-conspirators from The Conjuring, and remaking one of the most unlikely horror joints from the 1980s. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wan has enlisted The Conjuring screenwriters Chad and Carey Hayes to help him adapt the early ‘80s horror outing The Entity (it was originally scheduled to be released in 1981, hit some international markets in 1982, and finally opened in the U.S in 1983). At the moment, Wan is ...

Mark Wahlberg Makes Will Ferrel's Life Hell In First Daddy's Home Footage At CinemaCon

Back in 2010, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg joined forces along with director Adam McKay and delivered The Other Guys - a rather fantastic cop comedy that wound up proving that Ferrell and Wahlberg actually work quite well together as a duo. Fortunately, it won't be too long until we see them paired up once again in the new comedy Daddy's Home - and today we got a very early look at some of the film's first footage. Paramount Pictures held their presentation for theater owners at the annual CinemaCon expo in Las Vegas this morning, and in addition to bringing ...

Earlier today, we learned that former Obi-Wan Kenobi Ewan McGregor will star as the French candelabra Lumiere. Now Stanley Tucci has joined the film’s cast, but there’s one thing that makes his character unique from everyone else, he didn’t appear in the 1991 animated movie or the Broadway musical adaptation. Variety reports that Tucci will play Cadenza the grand piano, who is described as a “neurotic maestro.” Following Alice in Wonderland, ...
