Sound Off: Martin Campbell's Edge of Darkness - Thoughts?

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? It's been nearly 8 years since we last saw Mel Gibson on the big screen, and now he's back with a vengeance in Edge of Darkness, which hits theaters everywhere this weekend. Directed by veteran filmmaker Martin Campbell (who will be helming Green Lantern next), it's a revenge film about a father who discovers his murdered daughter's life was anything but ordinary. But how is the movie? Is it as awesome as the trailer made it seem? How is it seeing Mel Gibson acting again? If you've seen it, sound off, leave a comment below, and let us know what you thought of Edge of Darkness!

Alice in Wonderland is the Most Anticipated 3D Film of 2010?

The latest MovieTickets.com Weekly Poll (we feature these occasionally) asked ticket buyers which 3D film they're anticipating the most in 2010. MovieTickets claims there are only 14 3D films currently scheduled for this year (although I'm sure that number will go up) and listed the top five results. In the #1 spot is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which is actually surprising to me because I thought no one like the second trailer. As always, we have to be weary of these polls because it's not a true representation of what the public thinks, but it is interesting to see the results, especially in the wake of Avatar and the rise of 3D.

Ricky Gervais Slays the Golden Globes - Favorite Moments?

There's no doubt that awards shows are long-winded and usually boring. Every now and then, though, there comes a host who dares to lead an awards show with great humor, gravitas and yet, seemingly, without care. This year at the 67th Annual Golden Globes, comedian Ricky Gervais was that host. Along with all the traditional topical jokes at the industry's expense, Gervais slammed just about everyone from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to NBC to Mel Gibson and yes, even his own penis. Not an hour into the show, he quipped: "One thing that can't be bought is a Golden Globe. Officially." Discuss more highlights below.

Sound Off: Hughes Brothers' The Book of Eli - Your Thoughts?

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Albert and Allen Hughes, more popularly known as the Hughes Brothers, haven't made a movie since From Hell in 2001. But now they're back again, some nine years later, with a gritty post-apocalyptic action movie called The Book of Eli. But how is the movie? Is it as awesome as all the trailers make it out to be? How is Denzel Washington as the lead and Mila Kunis, too? Is the story any good or is it just bland and boring? How does it compare to The Road? What did you think? If you've seen it, sound off, leave a comment below, and let us know what you thought of The Book of Eli!

Sony Will Be Rebooting Spider-Man All Over Again in 2012!

Amy Pascal: "A decade ago we set out on this journey with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and together we made three Spider-Man films that set a new bar for the genre. When we began, no one ever imagined that we would make history at the box-office and now we have a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise." Sony just announced (via ComingSoon) that they are rebooting the Spider-Man franchise from scratch, taking Peter Parker all the way back to high school, in a new movie due out in 2012. It looks like they're finally saying goodbye to Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and everyone from those past movies!

Check This Out: Netflix Most Popular Rentals Regional Maps

We don't usually talk about Netflix or DVDs on the site, but I'm making an exception today to feature one of the coolest maps I've ever come across (at least for a movie geek like me). The NY Times built a website with a series of maps they call: "A Peek Into Netflix Queues." Essentially they created regional maps for 12 cities with rental patterns for 100 frequently-rented titles in those cities. It was created from data collected in 2009 (so it's not real time, it's historical) that Netflix provided for each zip code. It can also be organized by metascore with the highest ranking films listed (to see what region of cinephiles rented those the most).

Sound Off: Spierig Brothers' Daybreakers - Your Thoughts?

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Thanks to Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight franchise, the vampire genre is quickly losing its dark and thrilling reputation, but Michael and Peter Spierig are here to remind us what great vampire movies should be like. Daybreakers lands in theaters this weekend and it's a gory, glorious romp back into the world of vampires that we all know and love. But is it any good? How are Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe as the leads? Is there any subsistence to the story or is it forgettable? If you've seen it, then sound off, leave a comment below, and let us know what you thought of Daybreakers!

Weekly Moviegoer - Favorite Cinematic Experiences of the Decade

The 2000s were a very interesting time for moviegoing. The popularity of DVDs (and ultimately Blu-Ray) soared and the quality of TVs and home theater equipment increased significantly, causing attendance at cinemas to decline tremendously. At the same time, usually in response, we saw a number of interesting, if not all respected, advances and new trends in theaters and film exhibition come about in the past decade.

To look back on the last ten years of moviegoing, I've compiled a big list of my ten favorite experiences, both general and specific. While these are all fairly subjective and personal reflections, I've tried to use each

Another Controversial Decade List: IMDb's Top 25 Movies

With the decade ending in only four more days, these "best of the decade" lists are popping up all over. A few weeks ago we featured Metacritic's Best Reviewed of the Decade (it was Pan's Labyrinth) and last week we featured FlickChart's Top 20 of the Decade (The Dark Knight was #1). Now we have IMDb's Top 25 Movies of the Decade. This wasn't officially announced by IMDb, but Peter from SlashFilm compiled the list based on the user rating for each film. This is probably going to be controversial, as always, but because it's The Dark Knight as #1 once again, I think that's a sign that it may indeed be the best film of the decade.

Weekly Moviegoer - What Movies Do You Want Re-Released?

What if you missed Avatar? Say the snow kept falling, you got busy, had a business trip, family obligations, something unexpected happened, and/or anything else kept you from getting to the multiplex on time. And when you finally had three hours to spend on Pandora, the movie was out of theaters. What would you do? Settle for the DVD? It's doubtful even the new 3D televisions would provide a fair substitute for what you'd have experienced on the big screen — especially the big, big IMAX screen.

Fortunately I saw that movie, and it's quite likely anyone who wants to see it can and will, unless they're

Sound Off: Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes - Your Thoughts?

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? The last time we saw British detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson on the big screen was in 1985 in Barry Levinson's Young Sherlock Holmes. Now director Guy Ritchie and producer Joel Silver have brought him back again. But how is the new movie? How are Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law together and Holmes and Watson? Is it entertaining to watch or is it all style and no substance? How is Mark Strong as the villain Lord Blackwood? Is it a classic Holmes story? If you've seen it, then sound off, leave a comment, and let us know what you thought of Sherlock Holmes!

Our Complete Official 2009 Christmas Weekend Movie Guide

Following the success of our Thanksgiving Movie Guide, Marco has put together another new movie guide for Christmas. So here it is, our very first Christmas Weekend Movie Guide.

We've included 10 films in this guide, and if there's one that's missing, it's probably in our Thanksgiving Guide, since some of those movies are still playing in theaters today. If you're struggling to figure out what to see this weekend, then look no further. Read on!

Robin Hood Might Go 3D, Too? Will 2010 Be the Year of 3D?

Okay, I know that 3D has been around since 1890, so it's already had plenty of time to shine, and 2010 probably won't be different than any other year before it. Or will it? This is the second rumor we've heard in the last week about a major movie being converted to 3D (the other one was Clash of the Titans). Might the success of Avatar have something to do with it? And more importantly, were the studio execs really waiting to see if Avatar would fail (because of its 3D) before deciding to jump on the bandwagon and convert all of their event movies to 3D, too? Sorry for so many damn questions, but there's a lot on my mind right now!

What are the Most Demand Sequels for Movies from 2009?

I just received an email from MovieTickets.com with some interesting data that's worth sharing with all of you solely for the sake of discussion. They recently polled over 32,000 people who were purchasing tickets on the website and asked them: "which movie without an existing film franchise they'd like to see turned into a sequel." Essentially, they were asked what movie from 2009 do they want to a sequel for the most. I don't know what all the choices were, but the results will probably shock you. Then again, I have a feeling this is the demographic that sites like this cater to, so maybe it's not so surprising after all. Take a look.
