  • The Best Movie Twists Of 2012

    Ashley Greene

    Like any good year at the movies, 2012's biggest films had twists and turns that none of us could have predicted and some that everyone saw coming. That didn't stop them from thrilling us every step of the way and making us gasp a little when the reveal finally came.

    These are the five best plot twists of 2012. Let us know which one is your favorite in the poll below.

    JGL

    …Robin
    The most shocking surprise in 2012 that everyone kind of knew was coming. Who was the mysterious, seemingly normal John Blake. Sure, he's a Gotham beat cop, one of the last few good ones in the city, but could that really be all? You don't hire Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play some random police officer without some grander scheme in mind. When that other shoe finally dropped, fans were left with Nolan's take on the Boy Wonder and something else to debate. What now?

    Moneypenny

    …Moneypenny
    Whereas "Casino Royale" blew up the house that was the James Bond series, "Skyfall" slowly began to rebuild it, and that meant bringing back the old standbys. From the start, we knew Q would be back, albeit much younger. There would always be an M; whether s/he continued to be Dame Judi Dench was another matter. The only other missing piece had to be 007's witty equal, Miss Moneypenny. Naomie Harris slipped into the role nicely, and by the end of the film, we welcomes Moneypenny back with open arms.

    Cabin

    That Whole 'Cabin in the Woods' Thing
    Honestly, it still feels wrong to openly discuss the details of this beyond brilliant twist. Please, please, please, if you haven't seen "Cabin in the Woods," go do so. Good movies are meant to be seen. While it's less of a twist and more of a gradual reveal, the truth behind the cabin stepped into the light in a way that was both surprising and endlessly clever. It stands as an example of what all twists should be, logical surprises that have lingering impacts on how the work as a whole is viewed.

    Prometheus

    Oh…It's An 'Alien' Prequel
    It's not a prequel. It's not a prequel. It's most definitely a prequel, just not the one you were expecting. At the very start of production, "Ridley Scott's 'Alien' prequel" became "Ridley Scott's 'Alien' non-prequel," and the world of movie geekdom became enthralled in debate about whether or not we'd see face-huggers, chest-bursters, and a xenomorph or two. In the end, we got a story that had little to do with "Alien," aside from the shoe-horned origin of the xenomorph, which surprisingly still manages to confuse people.

    Ashley Greene

    Wait, It Was An Alice Vision?
    Have you ever heard of room full of teenage girls suffer minor aneurysms simultaneously? If not, you didn't attend an opening weekend screening of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2." It all went down near the end of the film, when the epic final battle and its many tragic deaths are revealed to be a vision of a possible future that Alice shares with Michael Sheen. Things got scary.

  • 'A Good Day To Die Hard' Featurette: Some Good Father-Son Bonding

    Good Day to Die Hard

    By Hannah Soo Park

    It looks like this one's going to be a family affair.

    The latest preview of "A Good Day To Die Hard" throws us into a frenzy of action sequences (involving lots of exploding cars and buildings) mashed up with Australian actor Jai Courtney's commentary on his role as hero John McClane's (Bruce Willis) estranged son Jack in the fifth and latest installment of the "Die Hard" series.

    We've seen the exploding cars and buildings before, but what's more fleshed out in this new featurette is the father-son relationship that the film seems to center around. "They lock horns, they butt heads," Courtney says of the duo.

    But all in good humor, of course—the video is peppered with one-liners and snappy dialogue between McClane and son. "It's been great, that's for sure," adds Courtney.

    (via Ram)

    So what other highlights are worth pointing out? Keeping the earlier trailers in mind, we've ultimately gathered that John McClane heads to Moscow, where he runs into his son Jack (who is working for the CIA with "a deep cover.") What follows are lots of exploding cars and buildings (no, really, a lot), the inevitable jokes about mom's cooking and of course, a "Die Hard" take on the ultimate father-son rite of passage: jumping out of a building together.

    Willis played McClane in 1988's "Die Hard," and has since reprised the iconic role in three sequels: "Die Hard 2" (1990), "Die Hard With A Vengeance" (1995) and "Live Free and Die Hard" (2007).

    "A Good Day To Die Hard" opens on February 14, 2013.

  • 'Django Unchained' Earns Rave Reviews After Early Screening

    Django

    The longest hold-out of the awards season, "Django Unchained," finally screened for an audience that was allowed to publish their reactions, and the response should please anyone who has been dying for the latest effort from Quentin Tarantino.

    Audience members at a Directors Guild of America screening over the weekend enthusiastically tweeted their thoughts after an early screening of "Django Unchained," which they praised highly for its humor, violence, and action. That sounds about right.

    Check out a round-up of some of the tweets after the jump!

    Thanks to /Film for rounding up a good sampling of the tweets after the DGA's screening.

    "Django Unchained" opens on December 25.

  • 'Game Of Thrones' Production Video Teases Season 3

    Game of Thrones

    "Game of Thrones" returns in only four short months, but there's not much that we have seen of the upcoming season. HBO has released a new production video that catches fans up-to-date on some of the exciting new additions to the series during season three.

    Chief among them are the new character introduced this time around. As fans of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series know, some of the most important characters to the world of "Game of Thrones" are introduced a couple books in. We're finally meeting them now, like Meera and Jojen, the Queen of Thorns and Mance Rayder -- and yes, we catch glimpses of all four in the production video.

    "We always envisioned season three as the place we needed to get. If we made it through season three and we could do season three right, then it would be all worthwhile," co-creator D.B. Weiss admitted in the video.

    In addition to those four exciting characters, the featurette offers up glimpses of Queen Cersei hanging out with Margaery Tyrell, Daenerys Targaryen guiding what looks to be the Unsullied and even Tyrion Lannister's healing -- and permanent -- face scar. Fortunately there's no glimpse of the Red Wedding, since that would get us too depressed this early on.

    "The game's been upped," Emilia Clarke said of the upcoming season. "There's so much more danger, there's so much more risk."

    "Game of Thrones" returns on March 31, a date that can't seem to get here fast enough.

  • 'Les Misérables' Clips: Sing-Talking Their Way To Oscar Gold

    Les Miserables

    By Hannah Soo Park

    The early (stellar) reviews and Oscar buzz surrounding "Les Misérables" have most of us wondering if we're eagerly counting down the days to Christmas…or the movie's December 25 premiere. And as if we weren't already super pumped to see the star-studded flick, Working Title Films has just rolled out not one, but FIVE new clips from the musical spectacular.

    Here, we've got a glimpse of key character interactions and iconic songs from the film, which devoted "Les Mis" fans will surely recognize.

    Watch all five clips after the jump!

    Clip #1: "Javert Releases Prisoner 24601 On Parole"
    In this scene, Jean Valjean is released from prison, only to be given some more bad news—Inspector Javert won't be resting his watchful eyes anytime soon. But there is some good news. We get to see an intense, manly sing-off between Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman.

    Clip #2: "At The End of The Day"
    This won't end well. Anne Hathaway channels vulnerability and desperation in this factory-set scene, in which Fantine is cornered about the fact that she is an unwed mother.

    Clip #3: "On My Own"
    We finally get a better grasp at Samantha Barks' singing (and acting) chops. Here, a heartbroken Eponine belts out "On My Own," as she realizes that Marius will most likely end up with Cosette.

    Clip #4: "Who Am I"
    Hugh Jackman successfully portrays a tormented Jean Valjean as he reaches a major crossroads in his life.

    Clip #5: "A Heart Full Of Love"
    Despite the movie's bleak circumstances, a sweet duet manages to unfold with Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) and Marius (Eddie Redmayne) singing "A Heart Full Of Love" as they meet for the first time.

    That's it for now! Set in 19th-century France, Les Misérables follows the life of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman)—who breaks parole and becomes a wanted man once again—and the encounters that he faces as he lives his life on the run. The film opens on Christmas Day.

  • 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Poster Evokes 'Dark Knight Rises' Imagery

    Star Trek

    J.J. Abrams and co. are finally, finally initiating their plan to reveal "Star Trek Into Darkness" to the world. After years of speculating when the crew of the Starship Enterprise will return and who they will face when they do, we are now just days away from not only the first trailer for the sci-fi sequel, but also a 9-minute prologue in front of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."

    Today, however, the first poster for "Into Darkness" debuted, giving us our first official look at the mysterious villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, whose role was teased in the official plot synopsis last week. From the looks of the poster, he definitely seems like "an unstoppable force of terror."

    Check out the full poster after the jump!

    Star Trek

    Well, they're definitely going of "Nolan-esque" on this one. While the poster clearly borrows concepts from both the "Inception" and "Dark Knight Rises" one-sheet, this isn't the first evocation of the fanboy-beloved director's work. Early talk about the sequel pegged "The Dark Knight" as the ideal which all big genre movie sequels should aim for, and it looks like "Star Trek Into Darkness" is already taking that advice pretty literally.

    Official synopsis:

    In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

    With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

    "Star Trek Into Darkness" opens on May 17, 2013.

  • 'Breaking Dawn' Narrowly Takes Box Office From 'Skyfall'

    Twilight

    FROM MTV NEWS

    It was a hard-fought battle for box office supremacy, but at the end of the day, it's still very hard to kill a vampire.

    "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" once again claimed the top spot at theaters for the third week in a row, barely beating out Britain's finest, James Bond in "Skyfall." The holdovers dominated in a soft weekend for new releases.

    The finale of Stephenie Meyers' vampire series took in an additional $17.4 million, bringing its worldwide total past the $700 million mark, while "Skyfall" came up just short with $17 million.

    "Killing Them Softly," the latest from Brad Pitt and director Andrew Dominik, provided journalists with generous fodder for bad headline puns, debuting in seventh place with $7 million.

    Head over to MTV News for your full box office report.
