Longshot Oscar Pitches: Best Picture/Director
With the Academy Award nominations being announced tomorrow, I thought I'd make an impassioned plea for some longshot contenders that deserve a seat at the table. Every year there's at least one surprise in the major categories, and I would be happy if any of these fantastic films and filmmakers were at the center of an upset.

'Narnia' Franchise to Reboot... By Adapting Next Book in Series, 'The Silver Chair'
Walden Media's Narnia films have been pretty lackluster to date. 2005's The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe didn't get things off to the best start and then 2008's Prince Caspian and 2010's Voyage of the Dawn Treader only continued offering diminishing returns, so a reboot of C.S. Lewis' most famous fantasy series doesn't seem like a terrible idea... Until you find out that they're rebooting it by essentially continuing the story.

2016 Razzie Nominees Include 'Fifty Shades' and Plenty of Sandler
The Razzies have never had any real credibility because they never really went after the truly terrible movies. Rather than use their sliver of notoriety to actually condemn terrible movies, they mostly just go after Adam Sandler and Michael Bay. Since Bay didn't release a film in 2015, and Sandler released three, the people over at the Razzies really piled on Sandler this year, though not as badly as Fifty Shades of Grey.

George Miller Will Mad Max No More, Forever
Sequel buzz has swirled around Mad Max: Fury Road from the very beginning, with Tom Hardy admitting that he was signed for three more films. All of that hangs in doubt now as George Miller, the only man who has ever directed a Mad Max film, has announced that he won't direct any more films in the franchise.

So This Interview with Ahmed Best aka Jar Jar Binks is Pretty Sad
I don't know if sad is the right word for it, but it's gotta be weird to be Ahmed Best. I mean, he was essentially the one thing everyone hated about the prequels from minute one. Long before all of the now commonplace prequel hatred, even the people who liked Episode I hated Jar Jar Binks and often went out of their way to create fan edits which removed the character entirely. The dude has been at the epicenter of fan hatred for a decade and a half now and he seems to be taking it all... pretty well.

Squee! Star Wars Sized 'Game of Thrones' Action Figures & Playsets Coming!
Funko has had tremendous success with their ReAction lineup of 3 3/4" action figures in the style of Kenner's original Star Wars toys—i.e. five points of articulation. They're a lot of fun, I have the Alien figures, as well as a Tyler Durden and Travis Bickle, just because. Now it looks as though they're going full force with a line of Game of Thrones action figures and playsets in that same scale.

Would That This New 'Hail, Caesar!' Trailer Were So Simple
A new film from the Coen Brothers is an event among movie geeks, and their next film looks to be playing right into such Cheeto-stained fingers. Hail, Caesar! marks the fourth time the Brothers have teamed with George Clooney, and lots of their regulars pop up in the film, but two Coen newbies take center stage in this second theatrical trailer for the upcoming film.

Movie Review: The Revenant
Provided you've ever wanted to watch fairly respectable actors roll around in mud while spitting hot venom at one another in the filthiest conditions imaginable, you could do a lot worse that The Revenant.

'Creed' Director Ryan Coogler to Direct Marvel's 'Black Panther'
With only two feature films to his name, Ryan Coogler has established himself as a striking visualist and someone who understands the language of cinema. Now we just need to see if Marvel's willing to let him retain any of that when the director takes the helm of its February—really?—2018 offering, Black Panther.

John Boyega Confirms Episode VIII Will Be "Darker"
In a statement sure to be misinterpreted by that group of dipshit white men's rights activists, John Boyega confirmed in an interview with Vogue that he's seen the script for Star Wars Episode VIII, and it's "much darker." While that has become the standard now, where sequels need to be "darker" than the original if they're going to succeed, The Empire Strikes Back more or less invented that formula, so it shouldn't be too big a surprise.
