I adored Fantastic Mr. Fox, which opened this weekend in Los Angeles and New York, and expands nationwide on Thanksgiving. We could discuss how working in a new medium has rejuvenated director Wes Anderson's creative juices, or how all of the voice performance were delivered in the same slightly ironic, yet still heartfelt tone, or how composer Alexandre Desplat wrote one of the most delectable scores in quite some time (as part of a soundtrack that already makes exemplary use of the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, and Jarvis Cocker). But really, above all else, it's the film's stop-motion »

Two shiny new posters have been released for director Tim Burton’s surreal take on Disney’s Alice In Wonderland, starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Matt Lucas.
The posters (originally released on The Mad Hatter’s Facebook page) feature many of the film’s colourful cast and further cement the idea that this is a Wonderland the like of which has not been seen on the big screen before. Check them out in all their glory below, Alice in Wonderland steps through the looking glass on 5th March 2010 – don’t be late!
Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time… Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There’, which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, »

-- Let the speculation begin. "Howling Mad" Murdock actor Dwight Schultz will be showing up for a cameo in Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team," according to a fansite. Hopefully, this means we'll be seeing other cameos from the rest of the team. Who doesn't want to see Mr. T give this young guns A-Team a vote of confidence with a tiny cameo role. Hell, he can leave his gold chains at home if it makes him happy. Schultz is great, but the fans want what they want: bring back T. (The Official Dwight Schultz Fansite, via Cinematical)
-- "Mad Men" producer Matthew Weiner is turning his attention to film now that the latest season is finished. He's now getting set to helm "You Are Here," a romantic comedy that he wrote. Independent financing is already in place and the cast will include the likes of Jennifer Aniston and "The Hangover »

We want to bring you more news every day, but unfortunately our robot army of writers who never need to sleep, to eat, or to love, is still under development (currently all they do is sleep, eat, and love). In the meantime, we’re going to be making “A Fistful of News” a regular feature you’ll see every other day where we bring you some additional news stories we found but didn’t have time to write. Until the Robot Army is ready to proceed (which is unlikely as we cut corners and ordered them from Belize, a country not known for quality robotics).
After the jump you’ll find ten quick news items including what’s next for Up director Peter Docter even though it’s not Monsters, Inc. 2, Guillermo del Toro’s monster cameo in The Hobbit, and Jeff Bridges’ behind-the-scenes photography on the set of Iron Man. »

A few days ago I sat down with director Henry Selick (”Coraline”, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, “James and the Giant Peach”) for a very extensive interview. While I spoke to him earlier this year before “Coraline” got released, with Focus Features trying to get “Coraline” nominated for Best Animated Feature (it absolutely deserves a nomination!) Selick has been talking to journalists and I was lucky enough to land a spot. While we touched on “Coraline”, most of the interview covered other subjects. Since most of you might not have the time to watch the entire interview, here are some highlights. But if you’re a fan of Henry Selick, you definitely want to watch the interview after the jump as it was great.
Says his next project might be another collaboration with Gaiman. If it’s not the next one, it’s the project after the next one. Says there »

The Halloween holiday is many things to many people. For some, it is the opportunity to have fun making costumes for their kids and take the little ones out for a sugar-rush inducing night around the neighborhood. I will never forget my own mom's excitement when she got to make me a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man costume from scratch when I was in the fourth grade. For others, Halloween is about dressing up as something sexy, alluring or creative and hitting up the hottest spots in town to see how many sexy cats and naughty nurses show up to get drunk. And for many, no matter where you fall, Halloween is a day to watch scary movies. That's where we come in. We've been laying down suggestions in our 31 Days of Horror feature all month long, concluding this morning with Robert Fure's final entry, Splinter. And while we've compiled an awesome list, I »

Recycled Film Experience! I wrote some of this in advance -- years in advance in fact -- to free up time to enjoy this costume crazed holiday. I originally published this list in 2005, but I've tweaked it some. Plus, not all of you were around in 2005. Herewith, the top 12 movies that remind me of Halloween. It's a top ten list and it's not even Tuesday. I'm so generous.
12 The Batman franchise (1989-2008)
In 1997 I went out Halloween clubbing as the Uma version of Poison Ivy. Whenever you dress up as a movie character the year the movie comes out, you'll have competition. There was another Poison Ivy there but I buried her, I promise. I had the horns and all the details, see. It was the longest I ever spent getting ready for Halloween (which is saying something): glue guns, orange wigs, fake foliage, you name it. I don't try as hard anymore. »

As winter approaches the days start getting shorter and the temperature keeps dropping which makes watching movies at home start to look like a better option than braving the cold weather to go out to the theater.
Lucky for you, Alliance has released a great selection of films that can entertain fans of any genre. Keep your eyes open for Coraline, Nothing Like the Holidays, Away We Go, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Easy Virtue, Sin Nombre and 17 Again.
Coraline DVD
If you’re looking for a good family film to watch over Halloween, then pick up Coraline on DVD or Blu-Ray to delight and frighten you in standard 2-D, or eye-popping 3-D. Coraline tells the story of a young girl who walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life.
On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to »

With one masterful movie in which imaginary, holiday-manufacturing villages collide, The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick single-handedly ignited the stop-motion renaissance. His most recent film, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2002 children's book Coraline, was no less ghoulish a tale, centering on a little girl with neglectful parents who discovers a mirror world of button-eyed doppelgangers living through a secret passageway. Movieline spoke with Selick today about Jack Skellington's favorite day, the direction stop-motion is taking, and the grunt work of making an enduring animated classic. »

For this week's final Halloween movies list, I decided to turn hit up the real superstars: my co-workers here in the MTV Newsroom who keep this great ship moving every damn day. After the jump you'll find recommendations and reminiscences from around the office. If you're game for some heavy reading, make sure to check out the last write-up, detailing Joel Hanek's pick: "Ernest Scared Stupid." Oh yes, he went there.
As for myself (MTV Movies Blog editor Adam Rosenberg), it's a toss-up. To this day I still have occasional nightmares relating to "Candyman," the Bernard Rose-directed, Virginia Madsen-starring horror flick based on a tale by novelist Clive Barker. There's something uniquely terrifying about the Candyman's ability to attack at any time, day or night. When horror can touch you even in the relative safety of sunlight, that's something to fear.
The other one that still gets me, »

- - - I have no idea if there is really something extended in the extended Alice in Wonderland trailer, but I'm a big fan of Tim Burton, and what better way to celebrate the coming Holloween than posting something that somehow relates to it? In this case, Burton has made some pretty amazing movies that's dark, spooky, scary and worth it - Sleepy Hollow, Beetle Juice and Sweeny Todd, to name a few.
His version of Alice in Wonderland is scheduled for a March 2010 release, which is 5 months away, but hey the trailer looks impossibly awesome! Plus, Mia Wasikowska - who plays Alice - is a young actress to watch. Watch the trailer after the jump!

I wasn't quite sure how to properly word the headline for this post considering I want to make sure you understand I am talking about the season pretty much running from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but I also want to make sure you know the film itself doesn't have to necessarily be about the holidays.
Take Die Hard for instance, it's set during Christmas time, but it isn't a Christmas film. However, it fits in with what I am looking for here. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Eyes Wide Shut, Fanny and Alexander, Batman Returns, Gremlins, The Thin Man and When Harry Met Sally are other examples. Hell, I would even say Rocky IV and Lethal Weapon count. As a matter of fact, I would say the non-Christmas, Christmas movies are the more interesting additions. How about The Shining or even Psycho?
Then, of course, I personally love films such as Love, »

October certainly brings spooks and scares to movie theaters nationwide. The month began with a bang, as Zombieland proved an unexpected hit, even as Paranormal Activity began making waves that are still cresting. The Stepfather was more a pallid thriller than any kind of horror flick. This weekend, Saw VI joined the fray at the hardcore edge of the horror spectrum, while Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant appealed to the softer, fantasy-loving set. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D also claimed a limited number of eyeballs, as did Lars von Trier's Antichrist, described as horror. The Final Destination, Halloween II, and Sorority Row are still hanging on in theaters.
Yesterday, Erik Davis asked which big horror release you're watching this weekend. (You still have time to vote in that poll.) But I'm wondering, with all the horror-related releases available to watch in theaters -- not to »
