Will one Iron Man 3 villain be cut out of the Chinese version?

Looper opens in the United States today, but Chinese audiences will be seeing a somewhat different cut of the film.

Lockout will shrivel up your brain, and you’ll like it

Remember when action movies were fun, slick, fast-paced and centered on a lovable muscle-bound jerk with a quip for every occasion? Lockout does — the new “space prison” movie, out today, feels like it was filmed in 1987 and somehow preserved in a vault for the past 25 years. If you miss the days of…

Why are fathers in horror movies such dicks? We asked Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark‘s mean dad, Guy Pearce!

There’s one thing you can always count on in a horror movie nowadays: a father who’s kind of a jerk.
