The memories of movie fans are papered with the work of the remarkably prolific producer Edward Small, ranging from such sophisticated fare as Witness for the Prosecution to boomer favorites like Jack The Giant Killer and It! The Terror From Beyond Space. In 1953 Small produced Wicked Woman, a memorably sleazy but amusingly self-aware noir out of the Jim Thompson playbook. Directed by Russell Rouse (The Oscar), the film stars Richard Egan as a small-town barkeep and perennial femme fatale Beverly Michaels as the sexy drifter who has his number. Co-starring Percy Helton, the high-pitched gnome from so many other essential noirs including Kiss Me Deadly and Criss Cross.

The world of cinema has always been filled with dreamers, and a lot of those dreamers start out with nothing more than a Super 8 or 16mm camera, all the way up to the latest iPhones; little backyard excursions with friends and sisters or parents to fill out the cast for a monster on the loose or a super sleuth flick. Every once in a while there’s genuine talent to back up the enthusiasm; our Raimi’s and Coscarelli’s bear this out. But before them a group of enthusiastic teens actually had their vision realized, and eventually a mutated form of it invaded drive-ins as Equinox (1970), an inspirational and energetic full blown monster mash.
Released in October, Equinox began as a project in the mid ‘60s for creature kids Dennis Muren, David Allen and Mark McGee, combining their love of Famous Monsters of Filmland and Ray Harryhausen’s mesmerizing...

Starting out in 1939 as the little studio that could, Hammer would finally make their reputation in the late fifties reimagining Universal’s black and white horrors as eye-popping Technicolor gothics – their pictorial beauty, thanks to cameramen like Jack Asher and Arthur Ibbetson, was fundamental to the studio’s legacy. So it’s been more than a little frustrating to see such disrespect visited upon these films by home video companies happy to smother the market with grainy prints, incoherent cropping and under-saturated colors. The House of Hammer and the film community in general deserve far better than that.
Thanks to Indicator, the home video arm of Powerhouse films based in the UK, those wrongs are beginning to be righted, starting with their impressive new release of Hammer shockers, Fear Warning! Even better news for stateside fans; the set is region-free, ready to be relished the world over.

Last year, director Bryan Singer announced that he would be directing a big screen adaptation of Jules Verne's 1868 novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This is been a dream project of his, and now he's set to shoot the film this fall. He previously said:
"It's my 50th birthday (ouch), and I just put the finishing touches on the script for my next film. A story I've wanted to retell since childhood. I promise this will be an epic and emotional adventure for all ages! An adventure very dear to my heart."
I really hope that Singer does bring us something epic. It's exciting that he's going to be able to do this, but I would have much rather seen David Fincher's version. Whenever Singer steps away from the X-Men franchise to do something else, you never know if those films are going to be good or not. Superman Returns...

Everyone and their uncle is convinced they know which movies are going to succeed and flop, but isn’t it such a pleasant surprise when a movie you expected to be a dud actually ends up being awesome? Sure, it’s not all that common given how predictable Hollywood’s production line is, but sometimes strong acting and superlative filmmaking skill can overcome a terrible series of trailers and torrent of negative publicity pre-release.
It’s fair to say that nobody would be surprised if any of these 15 movies were widely panned, but each also has enough of a glimpse of greatness that it’s not outside the realm of possibility that they end up being unexpectedly enjoyable, even awesome. When the deck is stacked, talented filmmakers step up and surpass what anyone could have anticipated: hopefully that should happen to at least a few of these easy-to-mock movies.

BBC One fantasy drama Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is a marvel, from its cast to its magnificent world-building…
This review contains spoilers.
1.1 The Friends Of English Magic
If, like members of the fusty York Society Of Magicians, you needed proof that magic has been restored to England, that episode was it. Forget bringing half a hundred statues to life, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell has pulled off an even unlikelier feat: bringing quality grown-up fantasy to UK television.
Susanna Clarke’s source novel was a canny choice for the task. Its Regency setting plays to the BBC’s period drama strengths and grounds the seven-part series in a recognisable context for any viewers who might ordinarily run a mile at the word ‘faerie’.
Not that Marc Warren’s chilling Gentleman (the sinister being in the Liberace wig and Norman Lamont eyebrows who showed up towards the end of tonight’s episode...

See Eddie Marsan in action in this first look at BBC One's terrific-looking Jonathan Strange And Mr Norrell...
"Magic is not ended in England..."
...not now that the BBC has adapted Susanna Clarke's tremendous historical fantasy novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, it isn't.
We first heard news of this ambitious adaptation over a year ago, and it hasn't budged from our 'must-watch' list since then. The quality of Susanna Clarke's source material combined with the calibre of the creative team and cast will tell you why.
Peter Harness (Doctor Who, Wallander, Case Histories) has written the seven-part series, which was directed by Toby Haynes (Doctor Who, Sherlock, The Musketeers). In the two lead roles are Eddie Marsan as Mr Norrell, "quite a tolerable practical magician", and Bertie Carvel as Jonathan Strange, with support from Alice Englert, Charlotte Riley, Paul Kaye, Marc Warren and more.

Making movies is hard. We should know – we write articles about them and we imagine actually making them is two, maybe three, times as hard (Ok, maybe a lot more).
There’s so many things to be dealing with, ranging from making sure catering are going to be able to provide a varied diet for the crew and that you have actors who can give the work the depth it requires. Of course, it’s very easy to take the easy route – make a product placement deal with Dominos that sees pizzas delivered to the set every day and hire Nicolas Cage.
The one place you’d imagine films wouldn’t skimp is in the creative department. The purpose of the whole enterprise is, after all, to make something entertaining for the audience. Except too often an overt focus on money takes over and a film simply steals entire swathes...

A lawsuit was filed in Hawaiian federal court today. It accuses Bryan Singer, the director of X-Men: Days of Future Past and Jack The Giant Killer, of "sexually abusing" an underage boy. In the court documents that were obtained by The Wrap, plaintiff Michael Egan, accuses Singer of forcibly sodomizing him when he was 17-years-old. Allegedly, the abuse began in 1999. Egan claims that Singer supplied him with drugs and alcohol and would fly him out to Hawaii for their sexual encounters. The suit also claims, Egan was not the only underage boy that Singer took advantage of. The abuse allegedly began in 1998, shortly after Egan was lured to parties at a house in Encino, Calif. where a high school friend lived, the lawsuit claims. The house, known as the M & C Estate, was often the site of “notorious parties” where adult males allegedly preyed on young boys, the lawsuit...

Based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, R.I.P.D. is a spectacular wild and whimsical buddy-cop action/adventure that critics will excoriate but despite that, will likely find an audience. If the previews and trailers have reminded you of Men in Black, the movie will feel like a trip down memory lane. Directed by Robert Schwentke (Red, The Time Traveler's Wife), R.I.P.D combines elements of Mib with flavors of Beetlejuice, Ghost and hints of many other popular films.
The film plays as if it hopes that by being entirely derivative of hits it will likewise be a hit, and that's what sets off alarm bells in a critic's mind. But try as I might, every time I started to think "Here's where it starts to suck," the movie did something to make me laugh in spite of myself. That's quite an accomplishment for a writing...

There’s an awful lot of ‘star-studded casts’ nowadays. If one major celebrity signs on to a film, every other major celebrity seems to try to get in on the action. Case in point: the ever-increasing cast list attached to Disney’s version of Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into The Woods, to be directed by Rob Marshall. Now Tracey Ullman is in talks to join up.
Ullman is apparently in negotiations to join the Into The Woods cast that already includes Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, Jake Gyllenhaal and Emily Blunt. Right now, Blunt is signed on to play half of a childless couple who go into the woods to find the witch (Meryl Streep, naturally) who has cursed their family.

Bryan Singer’s “Jack The Giant Slayer” was originally called “Jack The Giant Killer”, which is probably a tad too violent sounding for the kids, especially since the film is most definitely tailored to the young’uns (well, early teens, I’d say). It’s definitely a movie that will be most appreciated by those who don’t have their own kids yet, with its themes of true love, a true underdog storyline and that always wonderful anything-is-possible mumbo jumbo life lesson that all parents want their kids to learn. The film now arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on June 18, 2013. Nicolas Hoult plays Jack, a peasant farm boy who grows up listening to stories about menacing giants and princesses and brave kings. This also happens to be the same story that Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson) grows up listening to, except, well, she’s a Princess and...

In nearly 20 years as a Hollywood star, Ewan McGregor has been a prominent figure in the world of mainstream and independent cinema. He has successfully accomplished the daunting task of moving between genres without his fanbase or stock levels diminishing greatly, while crafting roles that are masterful, engaging and thrilling. Of course not everything the Scottish actor has done has been critically or commercially successful, but more often than not he has produced acting performances that allow his films to become more than what it should, extending his abilities and enthusing them with a vigour and passion that wouldn’t of been possible in anybody else’s hands.

Director Bryan Singer turns from X-Men to fairytales with Jack The Giant Slayer. Here's our review...
We're now well into Hollywood's fairytale revival period, which has already seen the likes of Snow White And The Huntsman and Mirror Mirror twinkle onto our screens, while adaptations of Beauty And The Beast and Disney's Maleficent wait in the wings.
As they're passed through the moviemaking filter, these age-old tales generally altered in the process. Snow White And The Huntsman gave the age-old story an epic spin, and imagined the normally genteel heroine as an armour clad warrior. Hansel & Grettel: Witch Hunters used its fairytale inspiration as a basis for a gory action yarn. Meanwhile, the Wachowskis are working on yet another retelling of the story; called Jupiter, it will reportedly send Snow White into space.

[Rating :3.5]
The journey from production to release has been a troubled one for Bryan Singer’s Jack the Giant Slayer. Formerly titled Jack the Giant Killer, the latest in a steadily growing list of fairy tale adaptations was initially scheduled for a Summer 2012 release date before being shifted to 2013, supposedly to brush up on the film’s special effects (although perhaps this was a wise move when you consider the money-guzzling efforts of The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises). Ultimately, Singer’s reimagining manages to overcome these problems and more to deliver an unmemorable yet satisfying piece of family entertainment.
Jack the Giant Slayer’s opening gambit deals with some exposition smartly as we are treated to a bedtime story which chronicles a time when giants roved the earth, before ‘Erik the Great’ exiled them by destroying the link between the two worlds. 10 years later we meet Jack (Nicholas Hoult...

True, the film hasn't gotten great reviews (The N.Y. Times review was especially brutal) and one could argue it's nothing but CGI overkill, but that didn't stop people from going to see Oz The Great and Powerful this weekend. The film made a very impressive $80 million this weekend, far surpassing what had been orginally predicted. On the opposite end Jack the Giant Slayer, a film no one really cares about, took a huge 63% dive from its 1st week. And how do I know that no one cares about the film? Because, last week, in my Sunday box office report, I accidentally called the film Jack the Giant Killer and no one noticed. Also the lousy opening take for Dead Man Down starring...

The dwarfish $28 million domestic that Warner Bros.' “Jack the Giant Slayer” grossed over the weekend was what? A surprise? That the wheel-spinning Bryan Singer would make a soulless 3-D disaster film out of a timeless children’s story was hardly a shock. But the long-delayed $200-million film’s anemic showing was indicative of something that has nothing to do with art and everything to do with commercial malpractice: No one – including audiences, ultimately -- knew who this big lumbering movie was for. The first clue was the changing of the title, something WB doesn’t even want to address, and something rather incidental except that it’s symptomatic of a general strategic collapse: “Jack the Giant Slayer” was somehow better than “Jack the Giant Killer”? Did anyone grow up hearing about Jack the Giant Slayer? No, it was either Jack and the Beanstalk or Jack the Giant Killer. Slayer...

As most of you know, Warner Bros. intended to release Bryan Singer’s Jack the Giant Killer in June of 2012 before pulling it from release, ordering reshoots and the like, and calling it a more kid-friendly Jack the Giant Slayer. I don’t know what the film’s budget was prior to the date change and related reshoots, but it was probably a lot less than the $195 million that they ended up with. And for what? The film opened this weekend to $28 million. If patterns hold for this kind of release, it’ll likely top out at $70 million domestic at best and around $250 million worldwide as a best case scenario. But point being, how much better of an opening could Warner Bros. expecting for a half kid-friendly/half dark-and-violent retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk starring absolutely no one of any box office worth? How much worse of an opening would Warner Bros.

Jack the Giant Slayer has debuted at number one in the Us box office with $28m.
Based on the fairy tales Jack the Giant Killer and Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack the Giant Slayer stars Nicholas Hoult as the young farmhand Jack, who accidentally opens a gateway between the kingdom and the world of the Giants.
Jack and the Giant Slayer, also starring Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci and Bill Nighy, knocked down last weekend's number one movie Identity Thief to second place.
The Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy comedy earned $9.7m, adding to its total earnings of $107m.
Two more new releases also made it to the top ten list - 21 and Over with $9m and The Last Exorcism Part II with $8m.
A Good Day to Die Hard, the latest instalment of the Die Hard franchise, slipped from five to nine with $4.5m. Its total earnings are now $59.6m.

The month of March got off to a terrible start this weekend thanks to disappointing debuts from Jack the Giant Slayer, 21 and Over and The Last Exorcism Part II. The Top 12 earned a meager $94.4 million, which is off a whopping 38 percent from last year.At 3,525 locations, Jack the Giant Slayer took first place with an estimated $28.01 million. That's lower than nearly all comparable titles, including last March's John Carter ($30.2 million); it hurts even more considering the movie wound up costing nearly $200 million. A tiny silver lining is the fact that it experienced a huge jump on Saturday (up 56 percent), which suggests it could hang on better than its similar movies. Making an expensive, violent, CGI-heavy adaptation of a children's fable was always a risky proposition, and as a result Jack the Giant Slayer has been plagued with issues for years. It was originally scheduled to open last June with the title Jack the Giant Killer,...

The writing was on the wall as soon as director Bryan Singer retreated to the “X-Men” franchise for next year’s “X-Men: Days Of Future Past.” “Jack The Giant Slayer” was destined to be a money-loser, looking like just another post-”Alice In Wonderland” fantasy epic but costing somewhere in the vicinity of an improbable $200 million. With Warner Bros. putting out a quiet ad campaign for the film, scrimping money off the ad budget was the only way to save face: 'Jack' is poised to take a major bath this weekend, coming in under the minimum $30 million the studio was hoping for. Originally conceived as a D.J. Caruso project (whatever happened to that guy, asked no one), “Jack The Giant Killer,” as it was originally known, was meant to be a darker retelling of the popular fantasy. Somewhere along the line, Singer’s involvement led to a more traditional, family-friendly approach.

Jack The Giant Killer was No. 1 in this weekend’s very lackluster box office results. Even more painful, since, before Jack came out, it was obvious that it was going to be a very expensive loser which had already gotten some pretty tepid advance word of mouth. With production costs of $200 million, the film’s opening take, aside from being underwhelming, and even with future overseas box office, it’s going to be pretty impossible for the film just to break even. Aside from that, some are questioning why Warners would release the film, originally scheduled as a summer release, just a week before Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful, directed by Spider Man movies director Sam...

Pretty much everything I said last March about John Carter applies to Jack the Giant Slayer. There are a few differences. Jack and the Beanstalk is technically a well-known property and Bryan Singer had the live-action track record that Andrew Stanton did not. But otherwise it is pretty much the same fallacy with pretty much the same result: $200 million cost plus who knows how much in marketing for $27.9 million on opening weekend. No stars, source material no one really cared to see onscreen, marketing that didn’t convince them that they should, a release date that put them within one week of a likely juggernaut, and mixed reviews. Like John Carter and Battleship, Jack the Giant Slayer was basically a $200 million variation on ‘Generic Blockbuster: The Movie’. Unlike Disney and Universal respectively, Warner Bros. seemed to see this one coming well in advance. They changed the release date from June...

If you're fee-fi-fo-foaming at the mouth for a film about fearsome giants, this is the revisionist fairy tale for you. Directed by Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, X-Men), Jack the Giant Slayer is loosely based on age-old stories like Jack and the Beanstalk and the darker Jack the Giant Killer, which grew up around the legends of King Arthur. The big-budget 3-D extravaganza stars Nicholas Hoult as the titular farmhand who sells his horse for a few magic beans. He's warned not to get them wet—like gremlins—but guess what? Wet happens. The resulting beanstalk provides a gateway between our world and a race of warrior giants who were banished from Earth centuries ago. Ready for a massive battle? Gear up with these...

Audiences first fell in love with Nicholas Hoult over 10 years ago when he shared the big screen with Hugh Grant in the romantic comedy-drama About a Boy. Seven years later, we saw him all grown up in a racy role alongside Colin Firth in Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man. A few years later he went on to play Beast in X-Men: First Class and just last month he charmed audiences as a zombie in Warm Bodies. In his biggest role to date, he takes the lead as Jack in the new fantasy-adventure Jack the Giant Slayer, loosely based on the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk and Jack the Giant Killer. "I love being busy. I'm enjoying it," Hoult told us at a recent press day. "Jack the Giant Slayer is my biggest movie, in terms of the scale of the film and being the...

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? "Fee, fi, fo, fum." Giants! Or a giant disaster. Finally in theaters is Bryan Singer's delayed CGI fantasy action-adventure Jack the Giant Slayer, originally Jack the Giant Killer, starring Nicholas Hoult as Jack. Joining him is a cast that only Bryan Singer could bring together, with Eleanor Tomlinson as Isabelle, the girl he's after, plus Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Eddie Marsan, Ewen Bremner and Ian McShane. After all this waiting, is it any good? Is it even worth seeing? How is the action? If you've seen it, post a comment with your thoughts on Jack the Giant Slayer. To fuel the fire and enrage the giants, I actually enjoyed Jack the Giant Slayer. Maybe it's because I went in with such low expectations for nothing but crap, and was surprised to find a considerably fun, entertaining, engaging adventure. Slapped in the face with a reminder,...

Giants are coming! This weekend, the fantasy film "Jack the Giant Slayer" stomps its way into theaters. Based on the fairy tales "Jack the Giant Killer" and "Jack and the Beanstalk," the film follows a young farmhand named Jack (Nicholas Hoult), who accidentally opens a gateway (see: beanstalk) to the world of giants. After a princess is taken prisoner, Jack helps the leader of the king's guard, Elmont (Ewan McGregor), rescue her and stop the war between giants and humans. So, is "Jack the Giant Slayer" worth your hard-earned money? Before you head out to the theaters this weekend, see what the critics are saying about Bryan Singer's new fantasy film.

Coming off a few very slow weekends, the box office should recover a bit in the first weekend of March thanks to four new nationwide releases.Unfortunately, the same weekend last year saw the arrival of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax and Project X, which combined to earn over $90 million through their first three days. Even if Jack the Giant Slayer, 21 and Over and The Last Exorcism Part II all overperform, there's no way they'll match that number, which means this will be the latest 2013 weekend that lags behind its 2012 equivalent.Jack the Giant Slayer is poised to open in first place this weekend, though it probably won't earn enough to avoid being dubbed the first big-budget disaster of 2013. The $195 million fantasy adventure*loosely based on the "Jack and the Beanstalk" folktale*has been plagued by issues for what feels like years now. Directed by X-Men's Bryan Singer, the...

I trust Bryan Singer. I trust him because he is a proven director that is leagues ahead of being simply competent in big budget tentpoles or smaller psychological studies. He’s an obviously talented guy who knows how to handle large and sweeping stories. He is most comfortable with myths — the X-Men and Superman are, after all, modern gods — so it makes sense that he would try to tackle a familiar fairy tale using all the tools and experience he’s gained so far, but it comes as a surprise to me that the end product could be so uninspired.
Jack the Giant Slayer is a blend of the classic “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Jack the Giant Killer” stories, and instead of the exaggerated tone of other recent revisionist fairytales like Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters it plays everything as a straightforward fantasy.

The domestic box office took a dive in February, and the March lineup doesn't look strong enough to really turn things around.There are some bright spots coming up: movies like Oz The Great and Powerful and The Croods should tap in to the family audience that's been neglected so far this year, while G.I. Joe: Retaliation should deliver a late-month boost. Even if all of those movies over-perform, though, there's still no chance that March 2013 tops March 2012's record $943 million (led by The Hunger Games and The Lorax). March 1Four new nationwide releases hit theaters on the first weekend of March, though each one seems plagued by some kind of issue. The biggest one*and also the most problematic*is Jack the Giant Slayer, a mega-budget fantasy movie directed by X-Men's Bryan Singer. Originally titled Jack the Giant Killer and slated for June 2012, the movie was unceremoniously pushed...

Jack the Giant Slayer serves as an example of today's Hollywood, a festival of computer graphics waging war in 3-D environments leaving us very little to judge or digest. By the time it's over we can only hope the performances have in some way managed to help us believe the world we're seeing on screen and the effects aren't so intrusive that some semblance of a story remains. Topping it off, the stories themselves are typically so small the hope is the effects will wow you into acceptance. For some audiences this works, for others they're left to feel as if they're simply watching pixels move around the screen while a series of noises bombard their ears. In such cases all a filmmaker can seemingly hope for is to straddle the middle ground and hope there's just enough story to hold the film together, just enough "wow factor" to sate...

Here in the Gloucestershire countryside, Bryan Singer is surrounded by knights in shining armour as he shoots Jack the Giant Slayer, a reimagining of the classic legend of Jack and the Beanstalk crossed with the even earlier tale Jack the Giant Killer. But, alas, no giants are to be found — they will all be computer generated.
The melding of real-life locations, live actors, CGI characters and 3D was the challenge for Singer (The Usual Suspects, X-Men, Superman Returns) this time around. He hasn't had a film in theatres since the World War II movie Valkyrie, which came out in 2008, and much of his time since has been spent bringing this action-y fairy tale to life.
Starring Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies) as a heroic young farmer who leads a pack of knights to rescue a kidnapped princess (Eleanor Tomlinson) from those evil giants, Jack the Giant Slayer was shot in 3D using the latest motion-capture technology.

It has been five years since Bryan Singer's last directorial effort, "Valkyrie." That film -- a modest success at the domestic box office (and an even larger one overseas) -- was a reclamation project, of sorts, for both its couch-jumping star, Tom Cruise, and Singer, who was looking to rebound after the disappointing box office tally of 2006's "Superman Returns." But, something even more important may have come out of the production of "Valkyrie": Bryan Singer's Twitter account, of all things.
If you follow Singer's Twitter feed, you'll notice that he's busy promoting his new film, "Jack the Giant Slayer" (which opens this Friday) like any filmmaker with a Twitter account would be doing. But he's also kind of revolutionizing the way a filmmaker can use the social media platform: by bypassing the usual trade outlets and tweeting the casting news of his next film, "X-Men: Days of Future Past,...

Bryan Singer thought he was going to be the first to revive fairy tales with his take on Jack on the Beanstalk, "Jack the Giant Slayer," but the film, which hits theaters this Friday, was beaten to the big screen by new spins on "Alice in Wonderland," "Snow White and the Huntsman," and "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." Singer (who previously talked to Moviefone about the eagerly anticipated "X-Men; Days of Future Past" sequel), is proud of his update on the “Jack and the Beanstalk” legend. "I took a look at those other ones and made sure I did my own thing," he says. He talked to Moviefone about making sure he had the right Jack in Nicholas Hoult, his love of classic adventure films from the '50s and '60s, and creating a race of fearsome giants.

Well not really “huge”, per se, but since we’re talking about Bryan Singer’s “Jack The Giant Killer” here, and it’s a movie with, you know, huge giants, it seemed appropriate. Of course, me having just explained all that sorta takes away the cleverness involved, but there you have it. Anyways, check out six clips from “Jack The Giant Slayer”, two previously released clips combined with four new ones, which in my book makes six. Of course, I failed math more than once, so who the hell knows. “Jack the Giant Slayer” tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants.
