Star Wars The Force Awakens New TV Spots and Soundtrack Tracklist

Are you sick and tired of all those "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" TV spots that Disney keeps dishing out ? Too bad. The studio has released three more, one of them extended, that you can pick apart for those one or two bits of new footage. The more interesting news, however, is that they have also released the tracklist for the official soundtrack composed by John Williams, which you can check out after the jump, along with the cover art. In other Star Wars-related news, "The Force Awakens" was rated PG-13 by the MPAA for the all-ecompassing "sci-fi action violence".

Directed by J.J. Abrams ("Star Trek"), the film stars Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson, Crystal Clarke, Pip Andersen, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong'o, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker.

Even though Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" and Warner Bros' "Creed" gave it their best shot, it was "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" that ultimately ruled the Thanksgiving weekend box-office. Also, "Victor Frankenstein" broke a record, but not one anyone would want to break. More after the jump.

in-theaters-creed-the-good-dinosaur-victor-frankenstein-the-danish-girl

This week it's once again time to root for the underdog as the Rocky Balboa spinoff "Creed" is finally in theaters. The film has received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and audiences alike, but still has to contend with Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" for the top spot at the box-office. Another new wide release is "Victor Frankenstein" starring James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, but I don't really see this one matter much for the weekend. In limited release we have Tom Hooper's latest Oscar-bait flick "The Danish Girl" starring Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander. Will Redmayne go two for two at the Oscars next year ? We shall see. Until then, find out more about each movie after the jump.

Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.

The Danish Girl New Trailer, Clips and Images

The awards-hopeful biopic "The Danish Girl" was released in limited release yesterday, so here is the new trailer (filled with ecstatic quotes from critics), two clips and nine images.

The true story of artists Lili Elbe (Eddie Redmayne) and Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander) received generally positive reviews, but some critics did have issues with the Oscar bait factor and the restrained and overly-glossy approach to the story.

Directed by Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech") the film also stars Ben Whishaw, Sebastian Koch, Amber Heard and Matthias Schoenaerts.

Check out the trailer, clips and images after the jump.

Victor Frankenstein Movie Clips, Featurette, Images and Posters

Since reimaginings are so popular in Hollywood these days, I guess it was only a matter of time until Mary Shelley's classic story would have received the same treatment. And here it is, "Victor Frankenstein" is now in theaters.

20th Century Fox has released two clips, a featurette, a batch of ten new images and two posters to convince you to go watch their movie. The critics, however, would urge you to reconsider. The film has been hammered with bad reviews. Despite the solid efforts of James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, director Paul McGuigan ("Sherlock") and screenwriter Max Landis ("Chronicle") offer an unnecessary reinvention that lacks soul and intelligence.

The film also stars Jessica Brown Findlay, Andrew Scott, Bronson Webb, Daniel Mays and Freddie Fox.

Check out the clips, featurette, images and posters after the jump.

The Good Dinosaur Movie Clips

Pixar has released eight clips for their new animated feature "The Good Dinosaur" which is now in theaters. Reviews for the film have been generally good, but many critics have noticed that the usual Pixar narrative standards are lacking here, leaving only the spectacular animation to carry the film. To sum it up, the general consensus is that it's good, but not great.

The voice cast features Raymond Ochoa, Jeffrey Wright, Steve Zahn, A.J. Buckley, Anna Paquin, Sam Elliott, Frances McDormand, Marcus Scribner and Jack Bright.

Watch the clips after the jump.

Creed Movie Clips and Pictures

The Rocky Balboa spinoff "Creed" is now in theaters, and it's certainly the most important event of the week. Today we have seven clips and thirty-eight images from the film.

The critical response has been overwhelmingly positive, with most reviews praising the film's new direction in the franchise that works because of Ryan Coogler's assured direction, Michael B. Jordan's amazing lead performance and Sylvester Stallone's unexpectedly solid supporting turn.

The film also stars Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Graham McTavish, and Anthony Bellew.

Check out the clips and images after the jump.

The Crew Wild Run Edition Racing Game new on PS4, PC and Xbox One

Customize your cars, monster trucks and motorcycles for mayhem on- and off-road. Join instant stunt and skill challenges. Never drive alone! The Crew Season Pass cars sold separately.

Details, available editions, system requirements and more after the jump.

Barbershop 3 The Next Cut Trailer and Poster

The first trailer and poster for the comedy sequel "Barbershop: The Next Cut" have been released. Althoguh the need for a Barbershop franchise may have seemed unlikely back in 2002, here we are with a third installment that continues the saga of Calvin Palmer (Ice Cube) and his establishment.

Directed by Malcolm D. Lee ("The Best Man"), the sequel also stars Nicki Minaj, Regina Hall, Eve, Cedric the Entertainer, Common, Sean Patrick Thomas, Anthony Anderson, Lamorne Morris, JB Smoove and Jaszmine Lewis.

Now You See Me 2 Teaser Trailer

Creed Movie New trailer, Featurette and posters

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer, featurette and six posters for the Rocky Balboa spinoff "Creed". The story focuses on Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), the son of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), who gets his own shot at the title with the help of Creed's former nemesis turned friend, Balboa himself (Sylvester Stallone). The featurette highlights Jordan's transformation into Adonis, and it's certainly a dedicated performance from the looks of it.

Co-written and directed by Ryan Coogler ("Fruitvale Station"), the film also stars Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Graham McTavish, and Anthony Bellew.

"Creed" is now in theaters.

Check out the trailer, featurette and posters after the jump.

The Other Side of the Door Movie Trailer, Images and Poster

The first trailer, images and poster for the horror film "The Other Side of the Door" have been released online.

The film stars Sarah Wayne Callies ("The Walking Dead") as a mother who loses her son in a tragic accident. After learning of an ancient ritual that can resurrect him for a final goodbye, she travels to an ancient temple and, ignoring the sacred warnings, opens a door that serves as a portal between two worlds.

Directed and co-written by Johannes Roberts ("Storage 24"), the film also stars Jeremy Sisto, Javier Botet, Jax Malcolm and Sofia Rosinsky.

"The Other Side of the Door" opens in theaters on March 11, 2016.

Check out the trailer, images and poster the jump.


Today we have a new trailer, featurette and poster for Quentin Tarantino's western "The Hateful Eight".

The highly anticipated project was shot in 70mm, and the featurette offers an interesting history of 70mm projection and roadshows. The Weinstein Company is working hard to retrofit theaters to support the format, but not everyone will be able to see it as the director intended. Still, it's very cool that Tarantino took the chance to give us some old school filmmaking and hopefully it will pay off.

The film stars Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Demian Bichir, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Zoë Bell, James Parks and Channing Tatum.

"The Hateful Eight" opens in theaters on December 25th.

Check out the trailer, featurette and poster after the jump.

Star Wars The Force Awakens Clip and Empire Magazine Covers

Today we have a batch of Empire magazine covers and a first clip for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

The covers feature the sequel's main players: Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley), Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mahyew), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie). Empire magazine also released a new image featuring Christie's Phasma trying to look like a badass.

The clip is a brief action scene from the trailers in which Ridley and Boyega run for their lives through the desert. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's nice to see an actual clip from the movie after all those TV spots. It also gives us a nice preview of John Williams' score. Stay tuned for more in the next weeks.
