Fans of Mad Men, the long wait is almost at an end. Season 5 of AMC’s highly-rated period drama kicks off this spring, having been gone from the airwaves for almost a year and a half while the studios that own and produce the show did battle with AMC TV and series creator Matthew Wiener in a highly-publicized board room brawl. However, with that unseemly business now behind us, we are once again free to delight in all the scandal and drama that Mad Men delivers so well.
And, judging from the Mad Men season 5 teaser trailer, a mix of scandal, drama and Draper will still be the cocktail the show serves in its new season.
Get a whiff of that familiar Don Draper (Jon Hamm) swagger in this new Mad Men season ...

Mark Millar certainly likes to talk big – but that doesn’t mean everything (or even most of what) he says is always true.
The more egregious examples of the Wanted and Kick-Ass comic book writer-turned-producer making bold claims that amounted to nothing include: his comments about A-listers like Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp being pursued for the (currently stalled) Nemesis adaptation, and virtually everything he’s said to date about the followup to Matthew Vaughn’s film adaptation of the Kick-Ass comic, titled Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall.
In a recent interview with the Daily Record, Millar claimed that Kick-Ass 2 is now gearing up to begin shooting by Summer 2012. However, given the way he tends to casually throw around the word “we” in the interview, it’s difficult to assess whether Millar ...

As the release date for The Avengers inches closer and closer, fans are becoming all the more psyched to see their favorite Marvel superheroes together onscreen at last. The comic book movie studio should be glad to know that, seeing how it has reportedly invested somewhere in the vicinity of $300 million in order to pay for the intimidating special effects necessary to make a movie that includes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and a global alien invasion (among other costly elements).
Today, we have yet another official Avengers image available for your viewing pleasure, along with excerpts from interviews with stars Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L.

As the 2012 awards season continues toward its big destination at the Academy Awards, we have yet another round of winners to announce as we track those films poised for big wins at the Oscars, as well as the TV shows that are being distinguished for their excellence during the 2011 season. Our latest report details those awards handed out by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) this past Sunday in Los Angeles.
The WGA Awards are notoriously fickle about what they except for awards consideration, so, while The Artist is currently the big frontrunner for Oscars glory, the fact that it was written and directed by a French filmmaker put it out of consideration for a WGA(merica) award. Ironically enough, that left Woody Allen’s dark-horse Oscar contender Midnight in Paris as ...
