As The Fate of The Furious enters theaters, a ranking of its 1st Assistant Director’s oeuvre.
Friday brings us the release of The Fate of the Furious, the eighth film in The Fast & The Furious series. Thus, there could be no better time to look back and rank the previous works of one of the films most notable craftsmen, a man whose name is legendary. I speak of course of First Assistant Director Frank Capra III.
Capra III is the grandson of director Frank Capra, a Hollywood legend whose work includes It Happened One Night, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and It’s a Wonderful Life. How did that pedigree fare two generations removed? This exhaustive look at Mr. Capra III’s 1st Ad career will tell the tale.
While the film’s director often gets the lion’s share of the credit, the First Ad is one of the most critical positions on set. In...

“My name is Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht.” “Hey! Who turned out the lights?” “I’ve made a huge mistake.” And now, thanks to The Good Wife, we have yet another example of a line of TV dialogue that only gets more delicious (and more meaningful) every time it’s repeated: “All options are open to me, and I plan to decide in the next 48 hours.”

Is Chris Pine angling for a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live?
As he shared on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday, the actor can do what any comic actor worth his salt can do: a Christopher Walken impression.
Check out the video above to watch Pine narrate a nature documentary as Walken – not over-the-top but natural and measured, his impression is pretty impressive!
Of course, his comic chops are no surprise; Pine, 34, was incredibly funny in last year's Into the Woods, in which James Corden also starred.
Corden also asked his former costar about the single...

From random films with altered names to unrelated storylines, we take a look at 15 incredibly tenuous horror and sci-fi film sequels...
The profit-driven nature of filmmaking usually means that, if a movie's a hit, sequels follow. And it's sometimes the case that, particularly in the realm of low-budget sci-fi and horror, those sequels are trotted out in a rush, or don't have anything to do with the film they're following.
This isn't to say that the sequels on this list are necessarily bad - it's a proper mixed bag of the great, the mediocre and the downright awful - but in each instance, these sequels have only vague links to their predecessors, or worse still, they're entirely different films rebranded to fit an existing franchise.
Our list is by no means definitive - rather, we've chosen a collection of films that we find the most memorable.

Metropolis. Godzilla. Jaws. Some posters are so perfectly conceived, we’d happily hang them on our wall. Here’s a list of ten all time great geek movie posters…
Movies come and go, and every year thousands of promo posters are hung in cinema foyers, only to be taken back down a few days later, never to be seen again.
Every now and again, meanwhile, a poster comes along that perfectly captures the themes and tone of the film it seeks to promote, and through a combination of colour, composition and typography, becomes regarded as a work of art that matches or even surpasses the quality of the movie itself.
Here then, is a selection of ten all time classic geek movie posters...

In case you haven’t noticed, aliens are a tad bit popular in movies. Since they became explosively popular in the 1950s, roughly three million films have been made in which the smart-ass human race is terrorized by creatures from beyond the stars. In fact, I’d argue that the fear of invasion is just as strong today as it was back then, and recent flicks like Spielberg’s War of the Worlds and upcoming films like Peter Berg’s Battleship serve as a reminder that we love the concept of getting our poop tossed by Martians.
It’s one thing to get stalked by a lone alien presence, however, and another to face a full-fledged invasion. What you’re about to see on this list of the Top 9 Alien Attacks isn’t your average Austrian-being-hunted-by-Rastafarian adventure, but larger scale invasions of the planet Earth.
