Star Wars Force Awakens: J.J. Abrams Responds to Criticism

Star Wars: The Force Awakens—you know, that movie we’ve been anticipating/debating/worrying about for three years now—was finally unleashed into the world a little over a month ago, and we still haven’t gotten tired of talking about it. It helps that the film is lighting up the box office charts, already taking the #1 domestic crown off the top ofAvatar’s head and now working its way up the global all-time chart. The film was, thankfully, not terrible, and maybe more importantly it offered up plenty of reason to continue talking about the story and characters long after we’d left the theater....

The Night Before: New Red-Band Clip Features Seth Rogen

The basic premise ofJonathan Levine’s upcoming holiday (gasp!) comedyThe Night Beforehas been evident since the first trailer for the film was released. The narrative of Levine’s film sets a trio of best friends, played bySeth Rogen,Anthony Mackie, andJoseph Gordon-Levitt, on one last adventure to find the mythological Nutcracker Ball, an annual, super-secret NYC holiday party filled with enough intoxicants to satisfy a mid-80s Motley Crue and Poison co-headlining tour. The foundation for this elusive bash, however, has remained a secret in the marketing thus far, making the film more about the last hurrah of the triptych before adulthood turns Rogen’s Isaac into a father and Mackie’s Chris into a superstar of sorts....

This Is the Most Badass Hat to Ever Be in a Movie

When you think of the sickest, most badass hats that have ever graced the silver screen, your mind is likely to go toward Indiana Jones' fedora or Oddjob’s killer bowling cap. But none of those can touchR.J. MacReady’s (Kurt Russell) supermassive cowboy hat fromThe Thing. This hat is great for an infinite number of reasons, all of which dawn on you the minute that it appears on-screen. WhileThe Thingwas always destined to be a great film, it’s questionable whetherJohn Carpenter’s 1982 effort would have been a masterpiece had it not been for this expert pick in costume design....
