Brian Moylan · 04/02/10 04:38PM

Clash of the Titans is finally open! But friends and reviewers told me that the 3D version is a rip off. But what about the "regular" version? Well, I might check it out if it had a better name.

In 1937 fascists devastated the town of Guernica with aerial bombings executed by the Nazi Luftwaffe. Picasso's painting Guernica was his reaction the tragedy. The painting has now been made into a 3D video.

Richard Rushfield · 11/06/09 04:26PM

You may not have known you wanted it, but now you're going to get it. 3D redux is here with its biggest tentpole to date, Disney's $180 million Christmas Carol, followed shortly after by the release of James Cameron's Avatar.

James Cameron Attempts To Explain The 'Avatar' Science Behind Blowing Your Freaking Minds

Seth Abramovitch · 08/07/08 01:00PM

James Cameron's upcoming feature Avatar exists not merely to bring a motion-captured Michelle Rodriguez to a wider audience than ever before, but—if we are to believe what he tells us—to singlehandedly revolutionize the way we make, see, and even perceive of the movies.

(Besides—by the time Avatar rolls around, the sweeping social revolution that accompanies it will render old notions of currency and spending completely obsolete. We'll be ranking the weekend box office in levels of Braincell Conversion Osmosis, or some other inconceivable economic unit of measurement.) But we digress; let's let Cameron describe some of the really-complicated-sounding rabbits he's got stuffed in his wizard hat:

Neil Gaiman's First Movie That Doesn't Suck

Nick Douglas · 02/21/08 05:00PM

Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick has made some beautiful characters. The movie will be in 3D, which worked well for the animated worlds of Beowulf and Nightmare with only the occasional spear-pointing-out-at-you gimmick.
