Arriving in theaters this weekend is Safe House, a new action-thriller co-starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as CIA agents being chased around Cape Town, South Africa. It's directed by up-and-comer Daniel Espinosa, from a screenplay by David Guggenheim. How is this February action movie, another typical action flick, or something bolder, better and unique?

By Alex Billington

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... (actually, it was 1999), George Lucas released Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and now it's back, telling the origin of young Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. There's pod racing, Sith Lords, lightsaber battles, space battles, and now its been converted to 3D and re-released in theaters again. So how is this newest Star Wars update? As worthwhile of an experience as its been hyped up to be? How is the 3D? Does it even look good? Once you've seen it, post a comment below with your own thoughts on Phantom Menace in 3D.

Marc Webb Briefly Chats 'Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer & The Lizard

By Alex Billington

The Untold Story? "People don't know what to expect, and I think it's really important for us to establish exactly why we believe it's an important thing to do," director Marc Webb tells THR, trying to explain their position with the new trailer. We all just saw the rather awesome second trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, which looks darker, more realistic, but still emotional, and that's due in large part to Webb. Hollywood Reporter was the first to catch up with him following the highly successful preview event, and got him to talk briefly about their status and his thoughts on the Lizard, now that we've seen 'em.

Video Blog: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Worldwide Preview Event Footage!

By Alex Billington

Sony is kicking off their marketing for The Amazing Spider-Man today with a worldwide preview event held in numerous cities around the world. Fans were invited in and were shown the brand new trailer in 3D (watch the trailer online now) as well as eight minutes of extra never-before-seen footage, some of which was unfinished, but all of which was awesome. I've been very excited for this movie since our first tease at Comic-Con last year, but with the footage we saw today, I'm completely sold and even more hyped for this. Marc Webb was the right guy, Andrew Garfield was the right guy, this is looking better the more we see.

Is It Personal? No One Ever Likes the Best Picture Winner Anymore

By Alex Billington

Earlier today I got into a huge discussion on twitter about 3D, gimmicks, and how bad The Artist is (except that I love The Artist) and how much better Hugo is. It all started because @KrisTapley posed the question: "Which film will you remember more a year from now? The Artist or Hugo?" While I am not an awards blogger, I follow the awards season closely, and root for my faves. I'm on the side of The Artist this year, mainly because I really adore the film, but I've started to realize that no one really likes the Best Picture winner (for now I should say frontrunner) anymore. No one is ever happy, it's never the right film. Why?

Sound Off: Josh Trank's First Film 'Chronicle' - What Did You Think?

By Alex Billington

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Now in theaters everywhere is a movie titled Chronicle, from first-time feature director Josh Trank (hear his story), a found-footage movie about three high school teens in Seattle who get telekinetic superpowers and what happens after that. And boy does it get crazy. Is it as awesome as the concept sounds on paper? Should it have even been a found-footage movie to begin with? How are the three leads: Dane DeHaan as Andrew (the crazy one), Alex Russell as Matt and Michael B. Jordan as Steve? Once you've seen it, post a comment below with your own thoughts on Trank's Chronicle.

By Alex Billington

"You suffer for your art; we're going to suffer on this one." Now playing in theaters is The Grey, a survival thriller directed by Joe Carnahan, of The A-Team most recently, as well as Smokin' Aces, Narc and Blood, Guts, Bullets & Octane. The film, starring Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo and Dallas Roberts, is about a group of Alaskan pipeline workers who crash in the wilderness and try to survive being hunted by wolves. I've seen the film a few times and it's awesome, I love it, so I jumped at the opportunity to speak with Joe Carnahan a few weeks back. We talk about his career and the incredible realism of The Grey.

Director George Lucas Seemingly Done Making Blockbuster Films?

By Ethan Anderton

With the three Star Wars prequels in his past and his second passion project finally hitting theaters in the form of Red Tails later this month, it sounds like filmmaker George Lucas is ready to step away from show business altogether. Well, at least he's doing to be done making the kind of films we've come to expect from the man behind such iconic franchise as The Star Wars Saga and the Indiana Jones series. Though Lucas recently told The NY Times, "I’m retiring. I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff," longtime producing partner Rick McCallum doesn't think Lucas is done completely.

22 Exciting Reasons Why 2012 Will Be a Spectacular Year for Movies

By Alex Billington

2012 is here. What does this year have in store, besides the Mayan-calculated end of the world? Some fantastic movies, potentially an unforgettable year poised to hit the big screen as well. Or so we can only hope, since you never know how some of these will turn out. But here we are, I've been waiting for this year a long time. Not only is it the arrival of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit (my #1 of the year), but there's other huge debuts, like the finale to Nolan's Batman series, and Ridley Scott's long-awaited return to sci-fi. I'm partial to science fiction, which is also why I think this year's selection looks particularly spectacular.
