In the age of the cloud, digital copies, and online rentals, a physical medium as a home video option loses relevance every day, but every year a handful of releases almost require a purchase. It takes an attention to detail and a dedication to the consumer to make any DVD or Blu-ray worth the price or even the physical space the box takes up. "Bond 50," the new collection of all 22 EON films, several on Blu-ray for the first time, is simply a must own for fans and arguably the best home video release of the year. By definition, a well-priced...

In "Skyfall," much of the action comes home for James Bond. A new videoblog from the set of the movie details how the production has been impacted by the fact that the latest 007 project takes place in London. Michael Lerman, the first assistant director on "Skyfall," narrates the new featurette about the various locations in the film. He talks about some of the places throughout Great Britain's capital that we'll see Bond travel. "On this movie compared to the last one we have so many more locations actually here in London," he said. "We...

There are some things you should know about Anna Kendrick, things that have nothing to do with the fact that her new film, "Pitch Perfect," expands to wider release today. Dark things. Fair warning: There's hammer violence. In the newest episode of After Hours, Kendrick and MTV News' Josh Horowitz explore that darker side of the seemingly non-homicidal actress. But things are not always as they appear. Media files: ...

Matthew Lillard has come a long way since a TV crushed his head in "Scream." Just last year, he had a pivotal role in lead Oscar contender "The Descendants," showing off strong dramatic skills that many viewers didn't know he possessed. Now, Lillard's about to show off another facet of his career: his work as a director. "Fat Kid Rules the World," Lillard's directorial debut, hits theaters in New York City today (October 5) and next week in Los Angeles on October 12. It tells the story of teenager Troy Billings, overweight and suicidal, whose...

The Extra-Terrestrial," there are so many unforgettable scenes, sights and sounds that you'd be hard-pressed to pick just one favorite element.

Last night, troll director J.J. Abrams debuted the first clip from "Star Trek Into Darkness" on "Conan," but at only three frames long, the preview is essentially the first image from "Star Trek Into Darkness." Abrams told Conan O'Brien that he wanted to bring something special for fans, but that Paramount wasn't so keen on the idea, thus the laughably short clip. Watch the segment after the jump! To set up the clip, Abrams offered an equally small amount of context for the scene we were about to see. "This is scene where Spock, who is...
