As we hinted at last month, the casting decisions for the upcoming Justice League film will only affect the JL-specific films, i.e. any direct JL sequels. Rumors have toilet swirled across the internet that The Social Ne... more
Taken 2 topped the box office this weekend, despite murmurs about the film not being as awesome as its predecessor. I'm not a fan of films that go the simple route of numbering sequels. Look at the Die Hard sequels: they're a... more
From a mustachioed, sex-crazed state trooper to an inherently blessed beer pong player, Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar has had quite the film career. Beyond his acting roles, he's also known as an adept director, directing... more
You guys like sex and porn, right? Ever thought about what happens to your favorite porn stars after they leave the industry? Scratch that - EVERYBODY's thought about that. After Porn Ends follows a select few porn stars aft... more
Looper did not top the box office this weekend. Hotel Transylvania did. I get the feeling this won't be the case next weekend. [via Rentrak] more
Parker Posey (Superman Returns) stars in Price Check as a marketing boss brought in to help liven up a grocery store pricing and marketing firm. To begin, she gives Pete Cozy (Ugly Betty's Eric Mabius) a substantial raise. H... more
In a surprising turn of events, it seems we had a two-way tie for top grossing film this weekend. According to Rentrak's numbers, House at the End of the Street and End of Watch made about $13m each. Critically-praised don't ... more
I love adaptations because, in the right hands, they'll take an established source and expand on them into a new direction. They're not rebranding of the material, but rather a wholly new look at a world we treasured and love... more
Nature Calls stars Patton Oswalt (Young Adult) as the wacky Scoutmaster Randy Stevens. Despite an attempt to round his troop up to show them how awesome nature can be, the kids much prefer spending time indoors with Randy's ... more
This tip comes with an entire shaker of salt, as the source of this news comes from a Batman site, but rumor has it that Warner Bros. and DC Comics might be plotting their Justice League film as a standalone entity. Wipe thos... more
Remember last week when I said I'd sneak in humanimal versions of the Flixist staff? Fooled you! Actually... I don't even think anybody was aware of it... and I may or may not have forgotten about it. We can't go back in time... more
I'm not a big fan of war films... hell, war-related anything, especially with the onslaught of war shooters that have plagued gaming for the past decade. However, unlike the video game universe, Hollywood hasn't really been ... more
While not exactly an expert of film noir by any means, I am deeply interested in the genre. Film noir tends to be so nuanced in both style and substance, when a film actually captures what makes the genre so amazing, it's li... more
I can only assume The Possession is akin to animals being possessed with human spirits, causing some sort of eerie hybrid, much like humanimals... except less scary and more awesome. Seriously, how can you turn down such a be... more
This past March, I accomplished two personal goals: Meet/interview Don Hertzfeldt and watch the final trilogy in his short film series, affectionately titled "The Billogy." I definitely set the bar exceedingly high when it c... more
As attractive, young adults, the Flixist staff is made up of huge Arrested Development fans. While we've previously reported on the happenings of the upcoming season, further news has come out directly from the mouth of ... more
Mike Birbiglia is a jack of all trades. Primarily working as a comedian, he's had a bevy of successful comedy albums, but he's also written two off-Broadway plays, and has written a book, Sleepwalk With Me & Other Pa... more
The often rumored Metal Gear Solid film adaptation has been confirmed by the wolf himself, Hideo Kojima, at last night's Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary party in Japan. Kojima, the franchise's creator, spoke at length about... more
Live action adaptations of long running manga are more miss than they are hit. A great majority of filmmakers attempt to condense years of story and character development into a relatively short runtime, typically leading to ... more
See what I did there? This week's big three openings - The Apparition, Hit and Run, and Premium Rush debuted to extremely weak sales. In fact, The Apparition didn't even crack the Top 10. Given Sean's dismal review of th... more
Another crazy Korean horror film has entered the mix. While Alec's review for Bedevilled from last year's New York Asian Film Festival was full of pretty words (and extremely high praise), nothing beats seeing a film in acti... more
Thor was the black sheep of the Marvel universe films. It had more cosmic elements and didn't feel as tight (or interesting) as the rest of the films. However, with a cast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, Natalie Po... more
