Steven Spielberg's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is the stuff of movie magic. Channeling his own childhood, Spielberg created one of his greatest films — the story of a lonely kid who befriends an alien. With his emotional, stirring, funny adventure, Spielberg conjured up nostalgia and created something often imitated but never duplicated. First planned as a scary film about aliens invading a farm, "E.T" eventually morphed into something sweeter. "For the better part of five decades, Hollywood treated aliens as hostile invaders," Spielberg said, "but I felt that had been done enough. I always regarded the heavens as a source of great solace, curiosity, and wonder ..."
Believe it or not, "E.T." turns 40 this year (newsflash: you're old!), and in honor of that anniversary, the new book "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: The Ultimate Visual History," by Caseen Gaines and published by Insight Editions, gives us a look at "E.T." from its inception...

While at the 2016 Fantastic Fest last month, I had the opportunity to check out a few films that were on the fringes of horror and sci-fi, so I’ve decided to recap my thoughts on a few of those movies here.
24x36: A Movie About Movie Posters: A documentary about the art form of creating movie-themed posters, first-time filmmaker Kevin Burke’s documentary, 24x36: A Movie About Movie Posters, hit all the right notes for me. It perfectly covers the rise—and subsequent fall—of the artists behind some of the most iconic movie posters in cinema, and it also offers an in-depth look at the creative process that goes into crafting images that would go on to become iconic, huge parts of pop culture.
24x36 covers a decent amount of ground history-wise (although the geek in me would have always loved more), and the way Burke delves...

Finally revealed: the origin of that seemingly random Beck and Sia duet from the Annie soundtrack. It's the theme song to a fake movie within a movie, a wink-wink parody of the Twilight series, called MoonQuake Lake — starring Andrea Alvin (Mila Kunis), Simon Goodspeed (Ashton Kutcher), and Rihanna, playing a scary sea monster. With help from The Lego Movie's Philip Lord, the fake movie appears when Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) takes Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) to a movie premiere — remember "Let's Go to the Movies"? And just in case they're reading this: Sony, I would 100 percent see this movie in theaters.

Exciting news for fans of That '70s Show - Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are back together onscreen. Sadly, it's for a trailer for a movie that doesn't actually exist! The engaged couple appears in a parody trailer for a fake film called MoonQuake Lake in the upcoming Annie remake.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Archstone Distribution. Director/writer: Matthew A. Brown. Cast: Ashley C. Williams, Tahyna Tozzi, Jack Noseworthy and Joel de la Fuente. Julia is a rape revenge thriller, from first time feature filmmaker Mathew A. Brown. This film is set to release at the Screamfest La film festival and an early review of the film is hosted here. In Julia, one very shy woman walks into an isolated apartment. Here, a horrifying tragedy takes place, one which is familiar to this genre. The next seventy or so minutes involves the protagonist transforming into something more bloody and murderous. Heavy on tropes and castration scenes, Julia is an unsettling horror film. The film utilizes lighting effectively, while the film builds in intensity. Julia is a haunting feature, which is difficult to forget. The film begins and stays with the character Julia (Ashley C. Williams...

Drew Struzan might be the name you first think of when someone mentions movie poster artist, but few can argue that the work of John Alvin is not a equally iconic. Alvin’s art has be collected in great effort into one tight package in The Art of John Alvin by his wife Andrea Alvin. The high quality coffee table book collects the late artist’s film poster art in their final form and in the earliest stages when he was just starting to figure out the layouts for some of the posters that would go on to be some of the most iconic of all time.
An introduction gives a brief overview of his life and his earliest experiences painting images from the films that made him fall in love with the art, like 1954’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and 1960’s Spartacus. It details his life, marriage, and sudden...

Movie posters have always fascinated and inspired me. Over the many years of film-making there have been countless artists who have designed and crafted some of the most recognizable images of our time. Some of these artists are superstars, some have been the unsung heroes, but both produced work that is timeless.
Outside of the film and art community John Alvin wasn’t as well known as he should have been, despite working on more than his share of blockbusters. Thankfully in recent years his work and contribution to the world of movies have reached more and more people. Unfortunately John Alvin passed away as a result of a heart attack in 2008, but I’m sure he’d be extremely pleased that a whole new generation can now discover his work..

One of the greatest poster illustrators ever gets a volume devoted to his work. Here's Ryan's review of the lavish Art Of John Alvin...
In 2008, John Alvin died at the tragically young age of 59, robbing the world of one of its finest poster designers. Although his signatures were often erased from his artwork, Alvin's individual style rang out from every image he produced: his work for movies such as E.T., Blade Runner, Cocoon and Short Circuit displayed a keen eye for colour, space and proportion.
Although technically gifted, it was Alvin's talent for crystalising a film's subject tone in a single, clear image that really set him apart from other illustrators. His best posters often focused on one or two objects suspended against an expanse of sky or stars, such as the alien and child's fingers touching in his poster for E.T., or the silhouette of a boy in Empire Of The Sun.

Just in time for its 40th year anniversary, Shout Factory has amassed a glorious Blu-ray remastering of Brian De Palma’s 1974 classic, Phantom of the Paradise. A glam-rock musical that’s enjoyed a sizeable cult following after an initial muted theatrical release, it represents the filmmaker’s most enjoyable attempt at comedy in this vintage satire about consumerism vs. creative control.
On the eve of unveiling his glam rock palace The Paradise, cutthroat music mogul Swan is struggling with how to open with just the right song to be performed by doo-wop group the Juicy Fruits (modeled after Sha Na Na). When Swan hears the music of aspiring singer songwriter Winslow Leach (William Finely, a De Palma regular), he decides he wants his music, an epic cantata modernizing Faust, but not the man. After his tunes are stolen, the songwriter tries to barge his way into Swan’s rehearsals but is thrown out,...

John Alvin is one of those people whose work is instantly recognizable, even if his name isn’t. As an artist, he created more than 100 movie posters for such iconic features as Blazing Saddles (His first poster, in 1974), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Gremlins and Disney’s Aladdin and The Lion King. Later this month, his career will be celebrated with the release of The Art of John Alvin, a retrospective of his work that includes commentary from his widow, Andrea Alvin, as well as previously unseen sketches and alternate versions of posters from across his nearly-four decades of

Over the weekend, San Diego Comic-Con announced the programming schedule for Saturday and Sunday at this year's convention. Usually, Saturday is the most impressive day as it's the weekend and has the biggest amount of people coming into the area while Sunday is usually the most unexciting day as it's the final day of the event and everything is winding down. For 2011, each day is going in the opposite direction. Saturday's movie programming is very underwhelming, save for a few films like Snow White and the Huntsman and Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt, with more cool TV panels popping up than usual. Sunday is significantly better than usual, especially if you like TV, with Hall H panels on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Glee and more. Read about the highlights, with commentary and more after the jump. To be fair, most of these complaints stem from the fact that the...

Simple and stunning, Kathryn Bigelow directs a character-based action thriller that's also a low-key, lived-in drama. The tension builds slowly and explodes at unexpected moments, which is fitting, since the story follows a three-man Army bomb squad in a war zone. Jeremy Renner is the new squad leader, whose heedless, devil-may-care attitude may be more lethal to his men than the explosives they're charged with disarming. Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty co-star. Buy it.

One of SciFi Squad's Best of the Decade, Duncan Jones' directorial debut is "old school science fiction," wrote Jennifer A.

Sam Rockwell is mesmerizing, no mean feet considering for most of the film he is alone." Buy it.
