Christopher Nolan Responds to All Those ‘Interstellar’ Sound Criticisms
Ever since the earliest screenings of Christopher Nolan's ‘Interstellar,’ there have been criticisms about the film's sound mix—that the dialogue is difficult to understand at times, often overtaken by the sound effects and score. Audiences and critics alike have pondered whether this was a filmmaking error, or a matter of movie theaters not playing the sound correctly, but now Nolan himself has finally spoken up to clarify that the sound is playing as intended, calling the final product “adventurous and creative.”
‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1′ Teaser: There You Are, Peeta!
One of the people we haven't seen a whole lot of in the more recent trailers for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' is Peeta. Yes, we saw him in those earlier "message from Capitol" teasers, all in white with President Snow and Joanna, but the trailers for the latest installment of Katniss' harrowing journey have been mostly absent of her bread-making friend. Until now! And it looks like Gale is not too pleased about it.

‘Captain America 3′ Recruits Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man to Begin Civil War Storyline
Well that certainly escalated quickly: over the last couple of weeks Robert Downey Jr. has played rather coy about what's next for Tony Stark and Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but now it looks like we know the answer, as he's just been recruited for 'Captain America 3,' in a storyline that's said to bring Marvel's Civil War arc to the big screen -- which is a rather huge development.
Here’s 10 Vampire Movies That Truly Suck
'Dracula Untold' is hitting theaters this weekend*, and truth be, uh, told, it doesn't look that great. But it could be worse -- a whole lot worse. Cinema has a rich history with blood-suckers, and thanks to the over-saturation in the genre, it's quite rare to see a great vampire film. For every good one, there's at least 10 not-so-good vampire flicks. Honestly, it was hard to choose just 10 because there are some real stinkers out there. As a disclaimer, we kept 'Twilight' out of this because it was just a little too obvious. We all know it's awful, we don't need to beat a dead sparkle-horse.
*Does Dracula's story really need to be told again? Yeah, dude, we get it.
‘CHiPS’ Movie Headed to the Big Screen with Dax Shepard and Michael Pena

‘Exists’ Trailer: Don’t Mess With Sasquatch
Eduardo Sanchez, director of 'The Blair Witch Project,' is at it again with a new found footage horror film, 'Exists.' But this time he's ditched the witch and is tackling a new myth: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, whatever you want to call him. And it looks like the big guy does not like to be filmed.
2014 Emmys: Watch Billy Crystal’s Touching Tribute to the Late Robin Williams
Amid all the celebrations and laughter during Sunday night's 2014 Emmy Awards, there was one larger-than-life presence that was sorely missed: the late, great Robin Williams.

Their latest decree: the film reboot of the long-running 'Power Rangers' TV series will officially hit theaters in 2016.
