On the surface, "Insurgent," with its dystopian setting and teenage heroine, might just seem like another by-the-numbers young adult tale. Look a little closer and it's clear that this second installment isn't merely capitalizing on a popular genre, but, with its half dozen female leads and supporting characters, actually represents a subtle subversion of what audiences have been taught action films should be.

One of life's near-certainties, it seems, is that as long as there's a summer, there's a raft of superhero films gathering plaudits left, right and center. Surely enough, with us having only just recovered from the thrills of Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, there's now yet another promising comic book adaptation in the form of the rebooted Fantastic Four.

There are some icons of video-game history that have so long persisted in popular culture that you hardly need to be a thoroughly experienced gamer to know who they are - think Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. However, these characters will be especially meaningful to many whose gaming infancy was in the 1980s, and those people are the most likely to appreciate Pixels, the new Adam Sandler comedy that casts giant digital recreations of retro gaming icons as amusingly surprising threats to humanity. [FULL STORY]

Apple's stock slid sharply on Tuesday (21) after the company reported strong iPhone sales but remained coy about the performance of its new smartwatch. [FULL STORY]

Look, in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Actually, it probably is just a plane. That's
because the next Marvel superhero to have
arrived in US theaters isn't nearly that easy to
spot. Like a splinter, he can be very difficult
to locate, but cause no shortage of pain. We
are, of course, referring to Ant-Man, whose
everyman alter-ego, Scott Lang, is portrayed
by Paul Rudd in a movie the prolonged
production of which is almost as interesting
to learn about as the story that has made the
acclaimed movie's final script.

A FEAST OF FUNNINESS AHEAD
Millions of people love the two animated
comedy movies of the Despicable Me
franchise, which star the super-villain Gru
and his peculiar cylinder-shaped yellow
minions. They will have to wait another two
years before Despicable Me 3 hits theaters
- but, in the meantime, there is something
that could be even better for those fans who
reckon that those little yellow people have
too long been underused and overlooked on
the big screen. It's true - the minions now
have their own film!
[FULL STORY]

Does the Terminator film franchise really need any introduction? It is by far one of the best-known and influential science fiction franchises in history, rivaling Star Wars and Mad Max. From its rather inconspicuous beginning in the 1980s, it has also helped to make its biggest star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the most bankable forces in Hollywood. Fast-forward to 2015, and he's back in a new Terminator movie, Terminator Genisys, set for release on July 1 - and he isn't the only reason to take notice of this new theatrical installment. [FULL STORY]

We all love a superhero movie, right? Well in that case, you might want to consider one for a slightly different kind of superhero. Released by Warner Bros on June 26 following its debut at January's Slamdance Film Festival, Batkid Begins centers on the touching story of Miles Scott, the child and cancer survivor whose wish to be Batman's sidekick was dramatically and touchingly realized with the help of many thousands of social media followers. [FULL STORY]

Pixar was an animation studio synonymous with quality. It still is, of course; however, the slightly stumbling critical and commercial performances of recent features, had led some to question whether Pixar's heyday had come to a close. Judging from both the concept and early reviews of the upcoming 'Inside Out', the studio has responded to its doubters in spectacular style. [FULL STORY]

Dinosaurs may have long captured our imaginations in a world in which we have never witnessed them first-hand, but when it comes to the silver screen, just one franchise based on the prehistoric beasts has always stood out: Jurassic Park. [FULL STORY]

Network television, once wedded to a September-to-May schedule, saw the error of its ways as cable and online competitors demonstrated a brazen disregard for tradition. So summer has evolved from a rerun graveyard to the home of lively offerings, with enough choices to threaten your vacation plans - or at least DVR capacity. [FULL STORY]

The action-adventure disaster film San Andreas will be released worldwide on Friday, May 29, and it has more than enough things to recommend it even before you consider its back story that hits home rather too closely for comfort for many of us. It has the right writing and directorial talent and the early indications are of a potential hit - but it is nonetheless important to remember just how true to life the movie could yet be in the future. [FULL STORY]

The Cannes Film Festival is as close to the movies' answer to the United Nations. The filmmakers and media of the world are usually represented in one way or the other. The Croisette, Cannes' seaside promenade, is usually a babble of tongues. [FULL STORY]

Whatever your tastes in late night entertainment, it's extremely difficult not to have immense respect for one David Michael Letterman. The 68-year old Indianapolis native has well and truly shaken up the late night chat show game since the debut in February 1982 of Late Night with David Letterman on NBC, and now, Late Show with David Letterman - which he first presented in 1993 on CBS - is itself drawing to a close to coincide with the host's retirement.  [FULL STORY]

For more than a century now, we have had taxis in some shape or form. They've always been pretty much the same - sure, the cars have become more sophisticated, safer and economical with the passing of the years, but otherwise, the basic premise of the taxi service has long been familiar. Things look like changing now though, in large part thanks to a certain service known as Uber. [FULL STORY]

The musicals "An American in Paris" and "Fun Home" each received a leading 12 Tony Award nominations on Tuesday, showing two very different sides of this Broadway season. One side is sunny - the dance-heavy stage adaptation of the 1951 musical film with George and Ira Gershwin songs - and the other moody - the dark show based on Alison Bechdel's coming of age graphic novel about her closeted, suicidal dad. [FULL STORY]

That aren't many people who don't love a good superhero film, and if there's one such film that can't be ignored by anyone seeking a heady dose of world-saving capers this spring, it's Avengers: Age of Ultron. The iconic team of superheroes that first appeared in 1963 is still going strong, and Earth's Mightiest Heroes have quite the assignment on their hands for this latest big screen epic, which will be released on North American shores on May 1. [FULL STORY]

Given that The Fast and the Furious action film franchise has been running since 2001, you would need to have spent the intervening time on Mars to not be familiar with the basic formula that has prevailed since: tire-squealing car stunts, fighting, heists and plenty of macho bravado, as epitomized by its central stars, like Vin Diesel. However, the fact that another of its big names - Paul Walker - passed away during filming was always going to give the seventh Furious a different complexion. [FULL STORY]

Cinema has always been fascinated by androids. From "Metropolis" to "Blade Runner," the juxtaposition of humans next to their artificial form has provided endless hours of stories that can be as exhilarating as they are poignant. Tough moral questions about consciousness and humanity go down easier when hidden under the glossy sheen of genre, after all. [FULL STORY]

Few fantasy TV dramas have captured the popular imagination quite like Game of Thrones. As the fifth series primes itself for an April 12 premiere amid rumors that it will coincide with the launch of the HBO NOW streaming service, we ask: how and why has it become such  a phenomenon? [FULL STORY]

Is it ever a good idea to remake a stone-cold classic, even if the decision to do so allows an old, well-remembered and still-relevant story to be brought up to the present day? Many who would have previously said "no" will have been forced to rethink their stance as a result of the staggering critical and commercial success of Disney's live-action reimagining of the immortal princess tale, Cinderella. [FULL STORY]

Johannesburg-born Neill Blomkamp has already built quite the career in his 35 years on earth. Known for his documentary-style, handheld observational cinema technique, he has enjoyed decent big screen success with District 9 and Elysium, and now, he's back with another science fiction film: Chappie. Its box office return hasn't been amazing, and the critical reviews have been mixed, but it has certainly reopened the debate on where robots belong in our lives - and the role that they will play in generations to come. [FULL STORY]

Is Will Smith still a grade-A Hollywood star after 2013's After Earth, the critical and commercial flop in which he starred alongside son Jaden? It's a question that many industry observers and fans are asking, and if we were going to get an answer to it any time soon, it was always going to be in how his latest effort - the romantic dark comedy Focus - was received. Unfortunately, the answer was inconclusive, with the film topping the box office on lower-than-expected takings. [FULL STORY]

Another late February evening, another Academy Awards ceremony at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre... and another set of winners. The 87th Oscars wasn't exactly the most unpredictable one we've ever had as far as the winners list was concerned, but there were still plenty of aspects of the big night that excited, stimulated and gave food for thought.  [FULL STORY]

When it was confirmed in late January that Meghan Trainor had dethroned the previously all-conquering Taylor Swift at the top of Billboard's Artist 100 - a measure of artist activity across the most influential U.S. charts - there was little surprise. [FULL STORE]

The Academy Awards always have given us a lot to talk about, and the situation was no different on the January 15 release of the nominees for the 87th ceremony. On February 22, at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will toast the successes of the latest award winners across some 24 categories. However, there has also been controversy about this year's list of nominees being the 'whitest' this century. [FULL STORY]

It should be no great surprise to see the considerable number of column inches devoted to the latest cinematic creation of sibling directorial duo Lana and Andy Wachowski, otherwise known as the Wachowskis. After all, these two have quite the history as directors, screenwriters and producers, particularly for The Matrix.  [FULL STORY]

To say that Clint Eastwood's latest biographical war drama film has been a commercial success would certainly be quite the understatement - in fact, it's already booked its place as a cultural phenomenon, and by some distance. The story of the late Chris Kyle, the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history, has certainly captured audience imaginations - not tô mention causing more than a little political controversy. [FULL STORY]

Oscars glory could be on the way for Witherspoon. Adaptation of Cheryl Strayed memoir is a big hit. [FULL STORY]

The network was crippled. Days before Thanksgiving, Sony Pictures employees had logged onto computers that flashed a grim message from a hacker group calling itself Guardians of Peace. Soon personal information for tens of thousands of current and former workers was dumped online, including Social Security numbers and the purported salaries of top executives. Five Sony-produced movies, including the unreleased "Annie," appeared on file-sharing websites. Thousands of private, and sometimes embarrassing, emails hit the Internet. [FULL STORY]
