The horror mavens over at Blumhouse have finally released a teaser trailer for arguably their most highly-anticipated release, "Five Nights at Freddy's." The film is an adaptation of Scott Cawthon's absurdly popular video game series, which started out as an indie game on the Desura and later Steam platforms, but become a global phenomenon after footage of popular YouTube Let's Players Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach and Matthew "MatPat" Patrick getting scared out of their minds became viral sensations. In 2015, a year after the release of the game, Warner Bros. announced that they were going to adapt the game for the big screen. That, uh, obviously didn't ever come to fruition.
In 2017, things started picking up steam when Blumhouse announced that they were to be the new home of "Fnaf," but after a series of delays and director changes, fans started to give up hope that they'd ever see their beloved horror story in the theaters.

If Disneyland is supposed to be the happiest place on earth, the most awkward place on earth seems to be about 30 miles northwest -- at the Oscars red carpet. This year's red carpet coverage on ABC featured plenty of silly cutaways, awkward pauses, and reticent interviewees, but no one on the other end of the microphone seemed more charmingly perplexed than Hugh Grant.
Grant is attending the Oscars tonight as a presenter, but he also had a cameo role in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," which is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Grant appeared in a brief scene that nonetheless took the internet by storm, as he was revealed to be detective Benoit Blanc's (Daniel Craig) husband. When asked about his turn in "Glass Onion," Grant seemed less-than-enthused, but then again, he came to the interview -- which seemed to be going on while a disorientingly loud crowd...

Liam Neeson has appeared in many movies over the years. But the actor — known for hits like Taken — is about to mark a new milestone with his 100th film. The project has long been in the works and sees the star take on an iconic character for the first time. Here’s what he has coming up and when fans can see Neeson’s 100th movie.
Liam Neeson made his feature film debut in 1978
Neeson made his film debut in 1978’s Pilgrim’s Progress, based on John Bunyan’s Christian allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress From This World, to That Which Is to Come. He plays the Evangelist and also appears briefly as the crucified Jesus Christ. But in the ensuing decades, Neeson demonstrated his versatility in just about every genre imaginable.

This Czech animation - which will be released with an English language dub in the UK - is a sort of pre-teen Pilgrim's Progress, as it follows an odd couple mouse and fox as they navigate animal heaven after their unfortunate demise.
Whizzy the mouse is "the bravest mouse in the world," at least if you ask her, not to mention something of a braggart, which is why she finds herself clutching a piece of fur belonging to fox Whitebelly and running away from him on the fateful day in question. We're quickly clued in to why she is as she is in a story flashback to the childhood loss of her father, which has left her with a deep seated dislike of foxes - the perfect set up then for getting stuck with one, not just figuratively but physically when they go to the great beyond. The good-hearted Whitebelly,...

Matteo Garrone's version of Carlo Collodi’s late 19th century children's tale is a traditional retelling that blends its sweeter elements with the grotesque, in ways that are likely to please youngsters who enjoy the likes of Roald Dahl. This is an adventure but it also has the feel of a morality tale, a sort of Pilgrim's Progress for kids.
Here, the puppet who wants to become a boy (Federico Ielapi) is rendered in a way that is otherworldly - a bit magical, perhaps, but not frightening. He's a loving, if rather naughty, boy who kids won't find it hard to relate to. His rebellious streak is just wide enough for trouble but matched by an open-hearted approach to others. Meanwhile, the world he inhabits has a nostalgic glow - you can almost smell the sawdust in the early scenes when the poverty-stricken Gepetto (Roberto Begnini, a good sport in returning to.

Lindsay Anderson’s third ‘Mick Travis’ movie is a crazy comedy eager to overstep lines of cinematic decorum. Britain in 1982 is a country at war with itself, torn by elitist snobbery and working-class revolt. Union grievances cripple the functioning of a major public hospital, on a day when the Queen is set to visit. A huge comic cast grapples with satire that reaches beyond cynicism to express total dysfunction. And the comedy has a wicked sting in its tail: Graham Crowden’s mad-as-a-hatter scientist has diverted National Health funds into grisly experiments with human body parts. The ‘visionary’ maniac spills more blood than Peter Cushing and Sam Peckinpah, put together.

Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life is Mubi Go's Film of the Week of January 17, 2020.In 1979, as a response to the confusion of friends and foes alike, Stanley Cavell published an enlarged edition to his cinematic ontology book The World Viewed with an addendum aptly and sardonically called More of the World Viewed. And in the preface to this new volume appeared a prescient reading of Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven (1978). Knowing full well that Malick had translated Martin Heiddeger’s The Essence of Reason years earlier, Cavell claimed that Days of Heaven evokes a particular passage from Heidegger’s What Is Called Thinking?, which Malick “had done only… by having discovered… a fundamental fact about film’s photographic basis: that objects participate in the photographic presence of themselves; they participate in the recreation of themselves on film; they are essential in the making of their appearances.”In the...
