Why Michael Keaton Thinks The Birdman-Batman Comparisons Are Superficial

When you first see ads for Birdman, it's easy to make a comparison between real-life Michael Keaton and his character Riggan Thomson. Both became famous after starring in a massively popular superhero franchise, and both tried to make a name for themselves with other, more "serious" projects after a brief spell. Keaton was quick to denounce these similarities while out promoting the film, but in a new interview he gives further reason. Collider has got a hold of a clip from the lead actor episode of EPIX and The LA Times' Hollywood Sessions roundtable series, which features discussions amongst prominent ...

10 Actors Whose Careers Took A Big Hit In 2014

We're almost through 2014, and for some of us, this is an event worth celebrating. This was an interesting year for movies and movie stars. There was a lot of mud slung from a massive privacy breach. And there were the usual bad choices (and ill fortune) that some of our favorite stars suffered through. It's amazing what anything as small as a cameo or as large as a sleeve of films can do to a person's career, and 2014 showed us that no one is safe from failure in the business they call show. Here now are 10 movers and shakers who ...

The 10 Best Movies Of 2014, According To Eric

While box office numbers may have been down compared to 2013, the truth is that 2014 was a pretty phenomenal year for film. We saw incredible new titles from amazing veteran and newcomer directors hitting just about every single month –regardless of season – and they introduced whole new worlds and kinds of creativity to the cinematic landscape. Needless to say, it made my work as a film critic a whole lot more fun... but it also made my Top 10 of the year incredibly challenging to put together. After much agonizing, rank swapping, and last-minute screening squeeze-ins, I am ready to reveal my ...

The Avengers 2 Trailer Looks Hilarious And Creative In LEGO Form

If the Avengers weren't already fun to watch in live-action, just wait until you see them in brick form in this new, elaborate LEGO recreation of the first The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer. It's been over two months since Marvel released the first trailer for The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and until they releases another preview for the ensemble film, this, along with the extra scenes added in the extended versions, is the only footage we have to study.

Toy Story 3 Was Originally Set In Taiwan And Involved Transformers

Pixar's Toy Story 3 is, in my humble opinion, the perfect cap to what now exists as a flawless trilogy. It brought closure to the Andy storyline, sending Woody and Buzz's beloved owner on to the next chapter of his life (in true Boyhood fashion) while also figuring out what to do with the toys. The sequel was funny, sweet, melancholic and uplifting... and it almost ended up being COMPLETELY different. Back in 2004, Disney and Pixar were feuding over the rights to the characters in Pixar's stable. Unwilling to part with such valuable commodities as Buzz and Woody, Disney – at the ...
