Alicia travels to the seedy part of Los Angeles to talk to the cast and crew of "Gangster Squad", including Josh Brolin, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie and Ruben Fleischer. [...]

Alicia Malone here – yep, one of only 8 journalists from the world allowed on the set of “Star Trek Into Darkness”. But more about that… much, much later. Today, I tease. I tease of the tease. A couple of short, well, stardate’s ago I had the pleasure of checking out – with several other [...]

During today’s press junket for The Hobbit in NY, I grabbed some extra time with Ian McKellen to ask him a quick question about “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and his newfound love of tweeting. You may also notice Ian’s necklace… that’s a jade stone from New Zealand, which he said gave him comfort and [...]

Robert Lorenz has worked with Eastwood for years, producing many of his films and acting as a second unit or assistant director, all [...]

You have to feel a little bit sorry for Chris Hemsworth back in his first few years of Hollywood. Even with those dashing good looks. After making a great impression in his small role in ‘Star Trek’ Hemsworth was quickly cast in two major roles… in Joss Whedon’s ‘Cabin In The Woods’ and the remake [...]

At the press screening of ”Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2”, Summit cleverly let in a bunch of fans to sit among the cynical journalists. I’m so glad they did, I had so much fun watching their reactions to everything, giggling in spite of myself at the cheers and jeers. Pondering the unique fan base the [...]

Ok. I’m going to say it. ‘Skyfall’ is my favorite Bond film EVER. I know, big call, but Sam Mendes won me over by grounding Bond in reality, making the story personal to him, bringing on Javier Bardem as a dangerous villain, upping the stakes, adding more beautiful Bond girls… while at the same time [...]

This deal boosts Disney’s position as a studio powerhouse, along with their recent acquisitions of Marvel Studios in 2009 for $4b and Pixar Studios in 2006 [...]

At the Toronto Film Festival premiere of ‘Argo’ I sat next a lady who I can only describe as “an over-reactor”. She was gasping and gawking even during the moments of low drama, and as the action heightened towards the thrilling climax… I thought she was going to have a heart attack. After the credits [...]
