    Aftershock Treatment: An In-Depth Look at the Latest Project from Hostel Director Eli Roth

      As a writer and/or director and/or producer and/or actor, Eli Roth is not subtle. His previous work includes two horror movies so bloody disgusting they spawned a sub-genre known as “torture porn,” the movie Cabin Fever which defies any sort of categorization, and an acting role where his chief motivation was bludgeoning Nazis to [...]

    Get Ready For The Oscars This Sunday

    Heavy on the Heart: Review of Disney’s ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ on Blu-Ray

    It’s funny to think that at one time Jennifer Garner was an action star. She made a splash playing agent Sydney Bristow on JJ Abram’s seminal series “Alias,” a role which some have called the most important female TV character after Scully and Buffy (and by some, of course I mean, me). “Alias” aired five [...]

    The Collection – Review

    The Collection invites us back into the warped minds of horror masters Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton. We continue the story almost where we left off, however now the public is aware that something is amiss.

The ceremony begins at 8:30pm EST, and I’ll be live blogging the event once it kicks off.

    Sneak Peak At The Upcoming Summer Movie : ParaNorman

    When I saw the movie poster from this film, I had to find the trailer and write about it. From the makers who brought you (Caroline) and Tim Burton’s (The Corpse Bride), here’s another dark animated/comedy filled with action and adventure called (ParaNorman).  It’s about a young boy named Norman, who loves and lives everything horror.  He suddenly [...]

    Review: “Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol” Keeps The Franchise Running

    If anything, the Mission: Impossible franchise has been a showcase for each installment’s director. The first entry allowed Brian DePalma to stage an elaborate cloak-and-dagger exercise. John Woo’s sequel brought a Honk-Kong action influence, and J.J. Abrams showed off his Alias skills on the big screen in part three. So when Brad Bird, the director of [...]

    Good Job, America: Texters To Get Their Own Section In Movie Theaters

    It seems the inmates have finally taken over the asylum. USA Today is reporting on several theaters and cinemas setting aside portions of their seats for people who want to use electronic devices during shows. These “tweet seats” are designed for folks who want to communicate via Twitter about the show using hashtags and the like. [...]

    Are The Muppets Communists?

    We don’t usually get political here at MovieVine, but this segment of FOX Business has been making the rounds and I can’t help but chip in my own two cents. Be warned, this is the kind of video that will most likely get you heated and/or cranky, so if you aren’t in the mood I’d [...]
