Will Smith tells his son what he needs to do in this first clip from M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth

I don't think anyone really knows what to expect from AFTER EARTH, the latest from director M. Night Shyamalan. There are a bunch of science-fiction films out this summer and into the fall (most recently Tom Cruise 's OBLIVION) and I'm not sure if AFTER EARTH will be able to hold it's own against films like ELYSIUM and GRAVITY. The first clip for AFTER EARTH...

Awfully Good: Bad Boys II

If I wanted to feature an actual "bad" Michael Bay movie in anticipation of PAIN AND GAIN, I suppose I could've done PEARL HARBOR. But I never want to watch PEARL HARBOR again.

Will Smith lines up a number of projects, including Focus, American Can, and The Accountant

Will Smith , he made a name for himself originally with his PG-rated rap and as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has come a long way in his career. However, that journey has mostly been in the form of big-budget blockbusters, which isn't a bad thing, but does prove difficult to maintain throughout the years. Smith has done well in that respect, but the problem is that he rarely elevates...

Indy took the final verdict in the article and with our readers, but that doesn't mean Han Solo didn't have his loyal followers. Many went as far as to call Indiana Jones their favorite movie character of all time, I can dig it....

Extraterrestrial documentary Sirius has a tiny alien to prove UFO's are real

I've always been intrigued by U.F.O.s and aliens, mostly by the possibility and lack of real evidence. If nothing else, it's compelling to think of the possibility that "they" could be real, but I'm certainly not a "truther" level guy. Someone will need to "show me the money" before I buy into anything. And that's exactly what the documentary SIRIUS proposes to do by revealing their very...

New After Earth poster with Will and Jaden Smith is better than the first one

I really don't know what to expect from AFTER EARTH. Does anyone? There are better looking upcoming movies set on a futuristic but rundown Earth (ELYSIUM and OBLIVION) and I'm sorry but anything with M. Night Shyamalan's name attached to it is an immediate red flag. That being said I'm still going to give the film a chance. Sony Pictures has released a new poster that isn't mind...
