Here are some Summer Movie Previews from  Relativity Media, Focus Features and Fox Searchlight Pictures . Up first is Relativity Media's summer release DON JON . Jon Martello ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt ) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to "pull" a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn't compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman ( Scarlett Johansson ) is a bright, beautiful, good old fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she's determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Evil Dead Review By: MattInRC Evil Dead is one of the goriest films to ever grace the big screen. But can it compete with its cult classic predecessor? We've been lamenting for awhile now on the uneven state of horror films, and for good reason. For every creepy and excellent Sinister in 2012, we were forced to endure a totally predictable and barely watchable Paranormal Activity 4 and The Possession . The problem lately has been simple: mindless horror without story. Sinister proved you could find a perfect balance between the two, generating all the creep-fest while persevering with good character development. It's too bad that nothing else recently came close to replicating Sinister's results; and while we haven't seen Mama yet, we were hopeful that 2013 signaled the return of excellent slasher cinema - until we saw the remake of Evil Dead . A mixture of A Cabin in the Woods and The Human Centipede , Evil Dead is easily the goriest film to be releas

Jurassic Park 3D Review By: MattInRC The 3D release of the classic Jurassic Park looks and sounds amazing but those are not the only reasons why you should see it. For those of you too old to remember what stop-motion was, watch The Empire Strikes Back , particularly those scenes of the Battle on Hoth. Essentially, one you constructed a model of your ship (or in this case, the AT-AT Walkers), created a diorama around them, then shot each movement before adjusting the model once again. It was a laborious and painstaking process, one that could neither resolve fluidity of movement nor allow designers to think beyond very limited uses. We have seen all-CGI based films like Tron (1982) and The Last Starfighter (1984), but issues persisted. In other words, it still looked like CGI. But it wasn't until 1993's Jurassic Park that everything changed. For the first time, we were treated to photo-realistic visual effects that seemed to step off the screen. It was a

At first there were only going to be 13 episodes in Netflix's Arrested Development revival. Then 13 became 14, and now, as showrunner/creator/funny merchant Mitch Hurwitz explains himself in the show's official press release, there will be 15 new Arrested Development episodes, and you'll be able to watch them come May 26. A statement from Netflix chief Ted Sarandos says that AD is being shown in “a brand-new way, crafted for the on-demand generation that has come to discover the show in the years since it last appeared on TV.” He added, “The highly anticipated return of this show is sure to make history all over again.” Mr. Hurwitz said in another statement that Mr. Sarandos was “going to be immensely disappointed.” “In truth we are doing something very ambitious that can only be done with Netflix as partners and on their platform. Finally my simple wish for the show is coming true: that it be broadcast every second around the clock to every television, computer or m

It's with a heavy heart and RSI-riddled point-and-clicking fingers that we bring you the news of LucasArts' demise. Closed down by its new owners Disney, the much-loved video game developer is laying off all its staff and turning into a licensing entity. In other words, Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313 are no more. In this way, the Golden Guy will live on through other game designers picking up their previous creations, which include the Star Wars and Indiana Jones games, as well as Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion and Sam & Max, some of which are already in the safe hands of LucasArts' spiritual successor, TellTale games. Some of Lucasfilm Games' (as it was originally known) best-loved releases - notably the Monkey Island series - are still available on iPhones, iPads and elsewhere, but for the time being LucasArts' legacy lives on in the minds of its fans and anyone who regularly indulges in a spot of Insult Swordfighting. Interestingly, ther

First thing to note is that music. Like Romeo + Juliet , Luhrmann has opted for contemporary musical picks, arguing that he's following the author down a path of pop innovation. “Fitzgerald described contemporary music in his books,” he points out. “People would say, ‘Why have you put all this silly jazz pop music in there?’" Nothing silly about a musical line-up that's been overseen by Jay-Z and includes Mrs Z - Beyoncé - André 3000, Lana Del Rey and Florence And The Machine. The 'green light' track towards the end of the piece indicates that the text has been a guiding influence for the score as well as the movie. There's are some new posters too, leading with Leonardo DiCaprio's lovelorn, enigmatic Midwesterner Jay Gatsby, whose undying adoration for the willowy Daisy Buchanan ( Carey Mulligan ) drives the story.

We’ve known since the middle of last year that Andrew Stanton and Team Pixar were planning to make a Finding Nemo sequel . Today, Disney and Pixar have announced the title, Finding Dory , and the fact that it’ll swim into theaters on November 25, 2015. As the title might suggest, the new film will focus a little more on the forgetful blue tang and introduce her family. According to Stanton, Finding Dory takes place about a year after the first film, and features returning favorites  Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang , among others. Set in part along the California coastline, the story also welcomes a host of new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory’s life. “I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” says Ellen DeGeneres . “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating Toy Story 16. But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about

On behalf of Universal Pictures , we’re pleased to announce that the trailer for the upcoming thriller THE PURGE has just debuted on iTunes Trailers.

Hospitals suspend help. It is one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
