VIDEO: 'American Horror Story: Asylum' In 60 Seconds

Need a reason to watch American Horror Story? Want to relive its many warped highs and sordid lows? Baffled that it has an audience at all?

VIDEO: You Don't Understand 'Sucker Punch'

Editor's Note: You likely know Adam Quigley thanks to his contributions to the /Filmcast, and for his occasionally argumentative stance on popular films. His most famously contrarian opinion may be the defense of Zack Snyder's 2011 film Sucker Punch. So what better subject could there be for Adam's first foray into breaking down a topic…

Fund It: Charlie Kaufman's Stop-Motion 'Anomalisa', From 'Community' Creator Dan Harmon And Adult Swim Veteran Dino Stamatopoulos

Some projects sound too good to be true. Lucky for us, we live in an age where they don't have to be.

Pixar's Films Ranked: From The Revolution Of 'Toy Story' Through The Adventurous 'Inside Out'

The release of Inside Out is an invitation to revisit all the films from Pixar, going back to the studio's 1995 debut Toy Story. That movie changed the landscape of feature animation with stunning immediacy; after Pixar hit the scene nothing was the same. The twenty years since have given us a total of fifteen animated…

Adam's 'Rock Of Ages' Review/Rant: Schlock For All Ages

"Nothin' But a Good Time" promises the tagline of Rock of Ages, referencing one of the two dozen or so classic '80s rock songs its cast energetically deflates into innocuously pleasing sing-a-longs. It's an admirably honest proclamation of the film's limited aspirations, one which it fulfills with all the grace of a monkey hurling its…

Adam's 'Prometheus' Review/Rant: Big Things Have Small Beginnings (Very, Very Small Beginnings)

The reviews thus far: Peter Sciretta seemed to really love the film, especially the mysteries and Fassbender's performance. Germain Lussier enjoyed the movie but was very critical.

Marvel Bits: 'The Avengers' Halts Production Due To Script Theft?; 'Thor' Scores $93 Million Internationally; Idris Elba Wants To Be 'Luke Cage'; Kevin Feige Talks Future Marvel Movies And TV

Here's some potentially frustrating news. Last week, someone got possession of Samuel L. Jackson's copy of The Avengers shooting script, and attempted to sell it to any film sites and bloggers who were willing to pony up the cash. The good news: It appears as if nobody was thoughtless enough to do so. We've resisted…

Superhero Bits: New 2-Minute 'Green Lantern' TV Spot; Possible 'Dark Knight Rises' Make-Up Test Photo, Filming Headed To India; 'Spider-Man' Shoot Update

If you're planning on watching only one trailer to sell you on Green Lantern, make it this one. That suggestion is probably coming a little late.

Zorro has been making appearances in film for almost 100 years, but the most recent incarnation of the character played against tradition, with Anthony Hopkins playing an aged Don Diego de la Vega handing off the mask to a misfit outlaw played by Antonio Banderas.

Superhero Bits: Isaiah Mustafa Met For 'Luke Cage'; Captain America And Tony Stark Will Go Toe-To-Toe In 'The Avengers'

Luke Cage isn't one of Marvel's higher-end properties, but in keeping with their strategy to build smaller budget action pics (about $20-$40 million) around their third tier characters, they've been slowly making progress on bringing the urban hero to the big screen. At one point John Singleton was attached to direct, and Tyrese Gibson (Fast…

'Fast And Furious' Franchise To Shift Focus From Car Culture To Heist Action

Universal is preemptively prepping the sixth entry in the [The] Fast and/or [the] Furious saga -- having already hired on the series' go-to writer to tackle the screenplay -- and based on how well Fast Five is performing in the territories it's already been released, their hubris will likely pay off.
