You know, it’s funny. Saving Mr. Banks was given the impossibly raised expectations sentence by the time it screened at the London Film Festival a day ago. The critics are mostly positive on it,...

With Sdcc 2013 kicking off soon, Preview Night details and the full schedule for Day 1 have arrived. We have some tough decisions to make as The Walking Dead comics take on "The X-Files" reunion and then the "Dexter," "Hannibal," and "Teen Wolf" panels go head-to-head.
Per usual, the abovementioned choices are just the tip of the iceberg for genre fans with panels running all day and evening on July 18th for paranormal novels, sexy steampunkers, horror gaming, horror novels, horror comics, horror journalists (including our own Heather Wixson!), composers, the ever present and popular zombies, The Goon feature film, and - in the last panel of the night - horror sitcom "Holliston." Check out our picks below, and be sure to visit the official San Diego Comic-Con 2013 website for the full lineup.

Usually the Oscars are the award show that dominates February but video games get a look in via the D.I.C.E awards. There is of course the Spike VGAs in early December but D.I.C.E, which take place on the 7th of February, make sure to get the final word.
D.I.C.E stands for Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain and is one of the leading peer-to-peer awards show in the industry and uses the four terms in its abbreviation to judge it’s winners.
This year, Journey has come out as the clear forerunner with 11 nominations, while The Walking Dead lands in second with it’s 8, Far Cry 3 gathered 7 and Halo 4 collecting 6 nominations.
It seems that Journey and The Walking Dead are going to fight it out again as they have done all awards season, and deservedly so. Those two games really are a cut above the rest.

Every year, precisely the week before we toast to a new edition of the Sundance Film Festival, there is a lucky set of a dozen or more scribes who head of to the Sundance resort as part of the January Screenwriters Lab. For the 2013 edition, this year’s dozen includes some familiar names and fairly diverse international mix and at the top of the list we find Andrew Renzi who’ll be at the fest the week later with his short Karaoke! and will be workshopping his feature film Franny. Russell Harbaugh who brought his queasy The Celebration-esque short Rolling on the Floor Laughing to the fest the year before, will also be receiving support on his debut entitled, Love After Love. Jan Kwiecinski whose most recent short was part of The Fourth Dimension project will tackle The Incident, and K’naan, an artist who is already had practice at...

SuperBot Entertainment announced yesterday that an “early development beta” for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was started last week, so that the studio could start testing servers for the upcoming fighter. The studio has been happy with the feedback coming out of the small beta and announced that they will expand it over the “coming weeks”, with the ultimate goal being to launch a full-scale public beta this Fall.
In addition to the announcement of the expanded beta for All-Stars Battle Royale, SuperBot confirmed that the current beta did experience an “unexpected and unintended leak” that resulted in several unannounced fighters, stages, and items becoming public knowledge. The studio stressed that even though the leaked content is real, the game is still in development and that the it “does not fully represent the final product”.

Two highly-anticipated second feature films from U.S. underground filmmakers will be making their World Premieres all the way over at the 64th annual Edinburgh International Film Festival, which will run for twelve days on June 16-27. The films are Rona Mark’s The Crab and Zach Clark’s Vacation!.
The Crab, which screens on June 21, is the touching story of a verbally abusive man born with two enormous, mutant-like hands; while Vacation!, which screens on June 20, tracks four urban gals let loose in a sunny seaside resort down South.
Both Mark and Clark previously screened their debut features at Eiff. Mark’s Strange Girls screened there in 2008 and Clark’s Modern Love Is Automatic screened in 2009. Both films also ended up as runners-up in Bad Lit’s annual Movie of the Year award, again Strange Girls in 2008 and Modern Love in 2009. Sadly, these two masterpieces are still unavailable on...

Berlin -- Michael Haneke's "The White Ribbon" may have missed out on the best foreign film Oscar but the Austrian filmmaker is all but certain to sweep the German Film Awards after "The White Ribbon" received 13 nominations for the country's top prize, the Lolas.
"The White Ribbon" picked up Lola noms in all possible categories, including best film, best director and best acting noms for stars Burghart Klaussner and Susanne Lothar.
Cinematographer Christian Berger, whose stark black-and-white images earned him an Oscar nomination, is the favurite to win the Lola for best cinematography at the German Film Awards on April 23 in Berlin.
"When We Leave," a drama from first-time director Feo Aladag, was the big surprise, earning six Lola nominations including ones for best film and best actress for Sibel Kekilli ("Head-On") in her comeback role as a young woman banished from her devout Muslim family.
