Harrison Ford isn’t smurfing around. On ‘Conan‘ last night, the actor expressed his intense dislike for the little blue creatures by beheading a plush Papa Smurf. Ford has good reason to be peeved: the CGI reboot of ‘The Smurfs’ nearly tied his new movie ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ at the box office over the weekend. And, to add insult to injury, wife Calista Flockhart paid good money to take their son t

‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ the much-hyped new installment in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, is currently shooting in Pittsburgh where paparazzi and fans have swarmed the set.

The Harrison Ford/Daniel Craig sci-fi vehicle ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ tied with ‘The Smurfs’ for first place at the box office, with each taking in $36.2 million in their debut weekend.

Harrison Ford‘s 40th movie, ‘Cowboys and Aliens,’ was released on Friday.

The final film installment of fantasy series Harry Potter is currently in theaters, and fans who held the books and movies dear are sad to see the story come to a close. In this well-edited re-imagining of the HP7 trailer, we get a glimpse of what the immensely popular saga might have looked like had it missed the mark and gone for typical teen comedy instead of the unique and imaginative world to

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the greatest inspirational speaker of them all? That’s what the Filmdrunk blog set out to find when it put together a montage of “Cinema’s Greatest Mirror Pep Talks” — those cliched moments in film where the protagonist psychs himself or herself up with a solo, mirrorside monologue.

Three new movies will be added to theaters this Friday, offering everything from cowboys and aliens to the Smurfs in 3-D. The first is the Jon Favreau-directed ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ in which Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford team to fight off – you guessed it – an alien-invasion in 1873 Arizona.

The iconic National Lampoon’s ‘Vacation’ comedy franchise is getting a sixth installment that continues the Griswold family saga.

In what continues to be a great month for leaked movie trailers, Big Shiny Robot got its hands on ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ teaser trailer on Tuesday, which offers a blurry — but still awesome — glimpse at the highly anticipated reboot.

Earlier last month, it was announced that the local theater would be running a Harry Potter Double Feature, Part 1 of Deathly Hollows and then Part 2 right at 12:01AM Friday morning.
