When I first started /Film, I intended the site to be a forum for film geeks to blog about film. We launched with 20 part-time writers. But that time has long past. Aside from our Box Office Guru Steve Mason and and occasional review or list, /Film is virtually a one man show. I’ve been [...]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your friends at /Film.
artist: Morticunata

News is usually slow on this yearly holiday week, but, “I assure you, WE’RE OPEN!”
Don’t expect our usual extensive coverage, but we’ll be posting a few features, and a couple really cool contests (did someone say Indiana Jones??? ), and whatever news leaks out. So keep checking back, and Happy Holidays!

Apparently /Film was briefly mentioned and shown on G4TV’s Attack of the Show yesterday.
They were talking about the Ray Park G.I. Joe casting news story that we broke on Tuesday during “The Feed” segment hosted by Kristin Holt. I used to be an avid viewer of this program back in the day (and by back [...]

/Film’s redesign is almost complete, and we’ve been considering adding a fully featured message board to the site.
But the question is: Would you guys use it?
I’m throwing this question out to you, the readers. As a blog, we will always allow for comments, but a message board allows discussion outside of the current headlines. Just [...]

Happy Thanksgiving from /Film!

Our trip to Los Angeles was AWESOME, and you only read about the one hour I’m allowed to report on. Thanks to the ensemble cast of characters I met along my journey (you know who you are). And while the hotel I was staying at was first class all the way, they were having problems [...]

I have returned from Canada! This means that the usual 10+ news updates a day will resume beginning tonight/tomorrow. But this doesn’t mean that the Toronto International Film Festival coverage has ended. I was able to see 29 movies at the festival, but due to my hectic schedule, I was unable to review them all [...]

Tomorrow I’ll be in Canada for the Toronto International Film Festival. But today I have a huge gripe to share with “The New AT&T”. A few months back I purchased an Apple iPhone, which with the exception of a few little things, I love to death. Am I angry that Steve Jobs dropped the price [...]

Okay, so we’re finally starting to work on a site redesign. As you can see with the early sneak peak mock up above, we are keeping with the same color scheme that you know and love, reduced the advertising area, and have added a ton of new features (including a usable sidebar and top menu).
But [...]

Guys, sorry for the lack of updates this morning. Our web server was undergoing maintenance last night, which prevented us from making new posts. Keep it tuned to /Film for the next few hours and we’ll try to update you on all the interesting new news in the world of movies.

On August 23rd 2005, slashfilm.com launched with a posting by Zach Lawrence, chronicling his Top 10 Movies of All Time. 5,631 posts later, /Film has become one of the premiere movie news sites on the internet. It’s been a crazy two years. We’ve been to Sundance, Comic-Con, Tribeca, and next month we’ll be going to [...]

Someone has a Birthday coming up on Thursday (August 23rd).
Not me. I was born in November… not August.

My friend Arya just sent over a link to the cover-art for the Hostel: Part II DVD release (via: dvdactive). I would like to say I’m surprised, but I knew about this for some time. After being quoted on all the Hostel 2 tv ads and newspaper ads, I received a phone call from Sony [...]

A producer from CNBC’s On The Money woke me up this morning. They were working on a news story on the “Overnight” trademark filed by JJ Abrams’ legal team, which many believe to be the final title for the top secret monster movie currently code-named Cloverfield. I told them what I knew, thinking that they [...]
