The WB network, once home of greats like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek, met its demise in 2006 when the CW was formed. But starting next month, the WB will be revived — this time as a website that will stream classic WB series and new content from producers including Josh Schwartz and McG. It's not clear yet exactly which shows will end up on the site (I'm assuming the popular Read more
Specializing in all things geek — including science experiments gone awry, dystopias, and alien attacks — Tim Burton's morose imagination and kooky humor keeps his fans coming back for more. Opening today is his latest venture, Dark Shadows. The flick is a reboot of the '60s-era TV show, starring Tim's muse Johnny Depp as a vampire who ends up in the disco era with his dysfunctional Read more
Bringing back a 1960s TV series about a vampire sounds like a perfect job for director Tim Burton, who became a modern master of cinematic goth with movies like Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Sleepy Hollow. But even with star and frequent collaborator Johnny Depp, the film adaptation of Dark Shadows fails to live up to Burton's previous work. Sadly, it feels more like a lazy, Read more
Last week we learned that Ian Somerhalder has his eye on the part of Christian Grey in the big-screen adaption of Fifty Shades of Grey. This week, it looks like he's got some competition, fellow member of the TV undead, Alexander Skarsgard. Rumors about the casting piqued your interest, and we were curious to hear what you had to say on the Ian vs. Alexander debate of 2012. Other topics that got Read more
Along with sunnier days, sandal fever, and a whole lot of iced coffee, we're looking forward to the season's onslaught of silver-screen blockbusters and indie films and, of course, the inspiring movie fashion that comes with it. More specifically, we're dying to see what Penelope Cruz will be wearing (aside from that sexy little red minidress) in Woody Allen's To Rome With Love, how Michelle Read more
Earlier this month, Facebook announced a partnership with Warner Bros. that allow members to stream select full-length movies through each movie's official Facebook fan page for just $3. At the time, only one title was made available — The Dark Knight — but now, Warner Bros. is releasing five more titles for your movie-watching pleasure. Starting at 10 p.m. PST, Harry Potter and the Read more
Red-carpet chic and garden-party ready, Dallas star Jordana Brewster paired a pretty bubble-print Carolina Herrera sheath with subtle gold accents and sleek blush-toned pumps at last night's Paley Center For Media and Warner Bros. "Television: Out of the Box" exhibition opening. The warm lilac and persimmon-hued dress is totally flirty and flattering, thanks to its cinched waist detail and a Read more
When I visited the Louisiana set of The Lucky One, which is out April 20, I had a chance to chat with star Zac Efron about the Nicholas Sparks adaptation with a few other reporters. Efron plays Logan, who falls for a girl (Taylor Schilling) he finds after first seeing her in a photo, so when we sat down with the actor, he talked about being able to relate to that kind of romantic gesture. His Read more
Our long wait for the Kinect Star Wars game is finally over! Landing on store shelves today, non-Jedis can now use the Force to battle Darth Vader himself, fly through pod races, and dance the Clone War battles away in groovin' competitions. After months of waiting, we're excited for the motion-based Star Wars game, but it has us wondering what other movies would make thrilling Kinect games. Read more
In The Lucky One, an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's novel, Zac Efron stars as Logan, a former marine who moves to a North Carolina town to look for a woman he only knows from a photograph. When he tracks single mom Beth (Taylor Schilling) down, he has a hard time confessing that her picture was his lucky charm during combat, but finds himself falling for her. I got to visit the set of the Read more
