'The Turning' Trailer: Directed By Mia Wasikowska And Sixteen More
Omnibus films are tricky beasts. Their very structure tends to make them wildly uneven, particularly if the director and stars change between each segment.

Part of the reason why the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been so successful is foresight.

The same breathtaking ambition that makes Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer's David Mitchell adaptation Cloud Atlas so intriguing also gives it the potential to flop, hard. Weaving together six interlocking stories that cut across time, space, and genre is difficult enough to do within the confines of a novel, to say nothing of…

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' Trailer: After Many Trials, Peter Jackson Returns To Middle-Earth
Ten years ago this week The Fellowship of the Ring was released. Peter Jackson's first Tolkien adaption silenced a great many naysayers who said J.R.R.
