'Oblivion' is best described as opportunity, squandered. Its landscape – conceptual and physical – feels remarkably unique and bursting with possibilities, but the exploration of both lacks originality, and energy. Joe Kosinski’s follow-up to 'TRON: Legacy' is, like its predecessor, a gorgeously mounted, inventive world-building endeavor, but it’s also equally bloodless -- ponderous without being thoughtful, ambitious without being inspired, much less inspiring. The chronicle of a battle for the fate of humankind that possesses little humanity of its own, 'Oblivion' is an overstuffed compendium of familiar genre tropes rendered with ornamental beauty but not much emotional depth.

Harrison Ford appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last night (April 17) to talk about his new movie '42' -- but the host was having none of that. Instead, Kimmel wanted to know about the continuation of the 'Star Wars' franchise in which it's rumored Ford will appear.

I saw a third trailer for 'Man of Steel' today- the newest incarnation of the DC Comics hero "Superman". I loved it. The movie comes out in June, and if I'm not in line on opening night- it'll be because of kidney stones or something! This is going to be great!

What I discovered in this new trailer, is that the 'S' on his shirt- does NOT stand for 'Superman' or 'Super'....What it stands for is much better!

Come take a look!

One of summer 2013's biggest question marks is 'Man of Steel.' There's a lot riding on this picture for Warner Brothers (who wants to be competitive in the Superhero genre), and for Zack Snyder (who's coming off of a misfire and an out-and-out flop). We're hoping for the best, and we're cautiously optimistic after seeing the film's first TV spot.

Roger Ebert passed away this week. He was an amazing man who not only provided people with his opinions on movies, he planted the notion that movies could be more than just observed in the minds of countless people.

If you haven't already heard, Gwyneth Paltrow has a new no meat, no dairy, no sugar, no wheat cookbook out called 'It's All Good.' Spoilers: It's not.

Not only does said book reduce you to eating the grass clippings from your lawnmower, but to cook from it for a day would set you back $300.

No, that's not an error, and no, you didn't just get dizzy because you've reduced yourself to a vegan, soy-free, gluten-free diet to fit into Gwyn's size 00 GOOP clothes: That says $300.

Legendary film critic Roger Ebert has passed away at the age of 70, leaving a massive void in the world of film analysis and criticism that is unlikely to be filled anytime soon. His impact on his field and how people watch and talk about movies cannot be underestimated.
