1.21 GIGAWATTS: Fan Made BACK TO THE FUTURE Prequel Trailer (VIDEO)
Whoa. This is heavy. And impressive. Seamlessly blending a load of clips from a slew of movies, editor Tyler Hopkins has built a studio-level trailer for a Back To The Future mock-prequel 1.21 Gigawatts. Telling the story of how Doc Brown got his hands on that plutonium from the Libyans, Hopkins pulled footage from 12 movies including Back to the Future, My Favorite [...]
The First Footage of STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII (VIDEO)
Okay, so it's not really anything different than what we saw at the end of The Force Awakens, but watching this behind-the-scenes footage of writer/director Rian Johnson continuing the saga is a perfect litmus test for just how much of a Star Wars geek you are. Apparently I'm an even bigger nerd than I thought, because even [...]
Two Classics Return To Theaters for Valentine’s Weekend
Well, two in Tulsa anyway. But one of the two is nationwide, and both are fun Valentine date options. This Saturday and Sunday in Tulsa, the 13th and 14th, Starworldy Theater is showing Nora Ephron's beloved Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan rom-com favorite Sleepless In Seattle. Each day's screening is a 2pm matinee. Of course if you're not in Tulsa, it wouldn't hurt to check [...]

At a $108 million dollar gross so far going into its third weekend of wide [...]
DGA Q&A: Scorsese & Spielberg Talk BRIDGE OF SPIES (VIDEO)

Friend, peer, and fellow icon Martin Scorsese interviews Spielberg about his latest effort, which was recently nominated for 6 Academy [...]
DGA Q&A: J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan Talk STAR WARS (VIDEO)
Enough with the glib media coverage. I couldn't care less what J.J. Abrams' Jedi name is or what his lightsaber color would be. Let the filmmaker talk about how and why he made his film the way he did. Cue the DGA Q&A. After a Director's Guild screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the [...]
My Predictions For The 2015/16 Oscar Nominations
For the Oscar nerds out there: my predictions of who and what the Academy will nominate his Thursday morning for their 88th Annual Awards - in all categories but three (Live Action Short, Animated Short, and Documentary Short). I wouldn't have a clue where to even begin guessing for those. In the Best Picture race, the Academy rules state there [...]
