  • The New ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’ Teaser Is 100% Badass (VIDEO)

    Ready or not, here comes Tom Cruise — as IMF agent Ethan Hunt — in the newly dubbed “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.” After watching the first, minute-long teaser from the fifth installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, we’re 100% ready for the badass-ness that is to come.

    Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, and Ving Rhames are back, along with newcomers Rebecca Ferguson — a standout in the trailer, for sure — and Alec Baldwin. This time around, Hunt and team are on a mission to take down The Syndicate, a “rogue nation” (see what they did there?) of operatives doing bad, bad things. Or, as they say in the teaser “the anti-IMF.”

  • New on Netflix Streaming: March 2015

    new on netflix streaming march 2015What will March bring to Netflix? Plenty of great TV shows, some killer recent and classic movies, and a slew of highly anticipated Netflix Originals.

    First off, there’s more amazing TV coming to Netflix in March than we’ve seen in the past six, with new seasons of “Mad Men,” “Glee,” and “Archer” coming to the streaming service. What’s more? The complete series of “3rd Rock From the Sun” (Yes!) and “A Different World” are also being added. For the latter, I plan on queueing up some “very special episodes” that remind me of my childhood. Also, Marisa Tomei was on it. Remember?! In addition to the shows you know, some spankin’ new Netflix Originals are being added: Tina Fey’s half-hour comedy “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” starring “The Office’s” Ellie Kemper, and “Bloodline,” a dramatic thriller starring Oscar-winner Sissy Spacek.

    In terms of movies, Netflix is not disappointing. Recent releases “How to Train Your Dragon 2” and “The November Man” will stream in March, and Irish classics “The Crying Game,” and “My Left Foot” arrive just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. (Or something.)

  • Oscars 2015: Best Picture Winner Is ‘Birdman’

    birdmanAnd the winner of the 2015 Oscar for Best Picture is… “Birdman.”

    This year, there were nine nominees up for Best Picture: “American Sniper,” “Birdman,” “Boyhood,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “The Imitation Game,” “Selma,” “The Theory of Everything,” and “Whiplash.” But, as “Highlander” tells us, there can be only one.

    All of the films were, we’re sure, just honored to be nominated, but only “Birdman” walked away with the win. Since the nominations were announced, the consensus has always been that it’s really just a race between “Boyhood” and “Birdman,” so tonight’s winner wasn’t really a surprise. Well, it kinda was.

    Now that the Oscars are over, we can dream about next year’s nominees. Or not. Your call.

  • Oscars 2015: Best Actress Winner Is Julianne Moore

    Julianne MooreAnd the 2015 Oscar for Best Actress goes to… Julianne Moore for “Still Alice.”

    Of all the 2015 Oscar races, the Best Actress award had pretty much been decided since the end of 2014. Most pundits and film critics predicted that Moore would win for her moving and undeniably heartbreaking performance in “Still Alice.” The other nominees this year — Marion Cotillard for “Two Days, One Night,” Felicity Jones for “The Theory of Everything,” Rosamond Pike for “Gone Girl,” and Reese Witherspoon for “Wild — never really stood a chance. Except maybe Witherspoon, whose turn as a former addict literally walking the road to recovery was considered a dark horse.

    All the Moviefone editors chose Moore to win, so it’s not really a surprise. Let’s all revel in this wonderful actress’s victory.

    Now that the Oscars are over, we can dream about next year’s nominees. Or not. Your call.
