Fox Hosting Epic 'Die Hard' Marathon of All Five Movies in February
Yippee-ki-yay, Mother Fox-er! 20th Century Fox is finally, thankfully (for giving us this), understanding the love for the Die Hard franchise and is hosting all out big promo events for the release of the fifth movie this February (on the 14th, Valentine's Day). The studio has announced a one day, five film marathon on Wednesday, Februray 13th just before the release of A Good Day to Die Hard (likely culminating in a midnight launch). While I hate the fourth film, the first three are exactly the kind of action movies I would watch a marathon of, so this is a perfect event leading up to the release of the fifth R-rated Die Hard movie.

Drafthouse & The Academy Hosting 'An Afternoon of Saul Bass Shorts'
Check this out: Alamo Drafthouse is proud to announce its partnership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Academy Film Archive to highlight the work of legendary title sequence designer and director Saul Bass on December 1st! The day of Bass-related screenings include an afternoon of rarely-seen short works by Bass and an evening presentation of Bass' sole feature directorial effort, the underappreciated sci-fi gem, Phase IV (presented in a brand new 35mm print!), in addition to the long-lost original end sequence, recently discovered by an Academy film archivist. This is awesome, I wish I could go.

'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Staying in IMAX Theaters a Little Bit Longer
For many film fans, action films don't get more perfect than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Jeremy just wrote about seeing Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade in 70mm (jealous), and I tend to bounce back and forth between which of those two films I like more, but when it comes down to it, Raiders of the Lost Ark is the purest and most enjoyable action movie I think I've ever seen. Paramount re-released the movie in IMAX theaters this week, and we have good news for those who had a busy schedule and didn't have time to see it: the studio has decided to extend the theatrical run of the 1981 classic for at least another week. Read on!
Horror Classic 'Halloween' Heading Back to Theaters This October
Raiders of the Lost Ark just extended a one week run in IMAX theaters, and AMC Theatres are still having a marathon of all the Indiana Jones adventures tomorrow, and even more classic movies are headed back to the big screen this fall. Just in time for the spooky holiday, John Carpenter's original 1978 horror film Halloween is coming back for a limited theatrical run starting October 25th. Strangely enough, I've seen the sequel Halloween II in theaters at the New Beverly in Los Angeles, but I've yet to see the original on the big screen, so this sounds like a great Halloween plan for cinephiles like myself and horror fans alike, right?

Spielberg's 'E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial' Back in Theaters October 3rd
In case you didn't know, Steven Spielberg's sci-fi classic E.T. The Extra Terrestrial is finally coming to Blu-Ray on October 9th, just in time for the film's 30th anniversary. Having the film in high definition is a nice treat, but the best way to celebrate will be with a return to theaters for one night only on October 3rd. Fathom Events has just announced a collaboration with Turner Classic Movies and Universal Pictures (as part of the 100th anniversary celebration) to put a digitally remastered version of the film back in theaters, and it will be the original cut that hit the big screen in 1982. No walkie talkies instead of guns!

70mm Reminds Us 'The Last Crusade' is Biggest of the 'Indy' Series
There's no denying the grand scope of the Indiana Jones films, three classic adventures that will continue on in history as some of the greatest of their kind ever put to film. Yes, THREE classic adventures. We'll just stick to that assessment from here on. Steven Spielberg and crew came out swinging with these films, only three and five years separating them, but they've since been lumped together, an amazing trilogy that some say rivals Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and The Godfather. But this is all information you're already privy to. What might not be so apparent is how grand, how epic even something we've seen dozens of times like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the last of the three and arguably the most fun.
'Brave' Going Wide in Theaters Again for Labor Day Weekend Also
Sure Joss Whedon is bringing The Avengers back to theaters this weekend (perhaps he's really worried about Sleepwalk with Me taking a bunch of their box office take), but Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow won't be the only red-headed heroine in theaters for Labor Day. The LA Times has word that Disney and Pixar are giving a wider release back to Brave with 1,700 theaters, which is just as many screens as The Avengers expansion will receive. A Disney executive says, "“We wanted to try it again and use messaging that says, ‘Get it while you can, one last time before these films head to video’” Sounds about right to us.

'The Avengers' Back in Theaters for One Week Starting This Weekend
If you're one of the handful of people who didn't see The Avengers in theaters this summer, or maybe you just can't wait for the film to hit Blu-Ray and DVD on September 25th (complete with cool deleted scenes and a hilarious gag reel), then we have some good news. The official Facebook page just revealed that Joss Whedon's epic superhero ensemble starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Clark Gregg, Tom Hiddleston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cobie Smulders is returning to theaters for a limited run starting this Labor Day weekend on August 31st and playing up until September 6th. Time to assemble... again!

Remember Aurora is Reaching Out to 'The Dark Knight Rises' Fans
It was only one month ago that a gunman entered a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado and terrorized an unsuspecting audience, killing 12 and leaving many injured. It was an incredibly sad, tragic, and unforgettable day, but the community of Aurora has come together to work through it, stronger than before. A good friend of the site, designer Mark Rantal, has partnered with local organizations to create RememberAurora.com, in collaboration with Denver Comic-Con, made for fans of The Dark Knight to be a community that will remember the victims of this senseless massacre, and to help and heal.
