The leaves are barely starting to turn here in Brooklyn, but Robert Zemeckis and Disney are demanding-- demanding!-- that you already get in the Christmas spirit. That's the only possible way I can explain the new trailer for A Christmas Carol, which goes very heavy on the holiday spirit in the beginning until, of course, Scrooge comes along to ruin it all. The rest of the trailer is filled with scenes we've seen plenty of before-- the arrival of ...
For July 4th: Three Movies That Represent The American Spirit
In the spirit of American Independence Day, I decided to list some of my all-time favorite patriotic movies. I invite you to criticize my choices and add some of your own in the comments.
A few caveats. The movies do not have to take place on the 4th of July (though some do), nor does they [...]
The DVD/Blu-ray release of "The Spirit" is set to hit stores today (April 14th) and now thanks to MTV, we have the film's alternate ending. It is an unfinished scene, which is why it is only a storyboard animation that is narrated by The Spirit himself, Gabriel Macht. Check out the video below, but keep in mind that it may contain spoilers.

I am a little late on this one, but I pretty much got sucked into Oscar mania and everything else got swept under the rug for about 24 hours. However, there are a couple of things left to catch up on starting with Mickey Rourke’s much-talked-about speech accepting for Best Actor at Saturday’s Independent Spirit [...]
Stars Relax At The Independent Spirit Awards: Red Carpet Recap
If I could attend any red carpet of the awards season, I think it’d have to be the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet. Indy darlings like Ellen Page and Hollywood A-listers like Jessica Alba always seem to be having such a great time, relaxing and having a blast on the night before the Oscars.
And let’s [...]
A lot of big names appeared on this year's Independent Spirit Awards telecast, but did they deserve to be there? We look at the celebrities and rate their indie credentials.
Hitfix takes you to the IFC Post-Spirit Awards Party
Saturday, February 21, 2009 10:49 PM | From HitFix
We just got home from the IFC's Indie Film Celebration that serves as the after-party for the Independent Spirit Awards and are still incredibly bummed that we just missed Jon Hamm by thismuch (this did not stop us from scouring the place for him). The party, held at Shutters, a beachfront hotel in Santa Monica, is a relaxed, no-black tie, laid-back affair that is the perfect precursor to the glitz and glamour of the Oscars. Speaking of, most of the Oscar nominees have other events they rush off to after the Spirit Awards, but best actress nominee Melissa Leo ("Frozen River")...
