"I'm so sad," tweeted actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt , summing up the response. "I remember going to the Cinerama Dome to see 'Star Trek IV' with my dad when I was little. So many memories since then. " Others shared similar stories. Personally, that would include seeing "The Wind and the Lion" as a kid back in the mid-1970s, watching Sean Connery -- who will be among the standout names in this year's Academy Awards "In Memoriam" segment -- wield a sword in epic, … [Read more...] about The Oscars suddenly have a bigger mission: Help save movie theaters

For you prudes who think it’s okay for minors to have abortions without parental consent and who think it’s perfectly acceptable to chemically castrate an eight-year-old boy under the delusion he’s a girl, the age of content in New York is 17.

Anyway, Manhattan is a moral film about a neurotic man who, under the smug belief he’s too sophisticated for a young woman, dumps her for a mature woman and then gets a serious taste of his own medicine. Small-minded prudes refuse to see this the truth of this and have now, without … [Read more...] about Nolte: Actress Who Played 17-Year-Old in ‘Manhattan’ Defends Woody Allen — ‘That Movie Probably Couldn’t Come Out Today’

(CNN) Before he became one of Hollywood's leading men, before the Oscar for best actor in 2014 and he went Interstellar on the silver screen, Matthew McConaughey was learning his craft and, in fact, preparing to shoot his very first scene. In 1993, he delivered an ad-libbed line -- "Alright, alright, alright!" -- that would stay with him throughout the arc of his career and is now going to feature prominently in a new venture that he could never have imagined when he was cast as David Wooderson in the coming-of-age movie, "Dazed and Confused."
