A New York court has denied the creator of the Ghost Rider character, Gary Friedrich, the rights to the supernatural hero, Film School Rejects is reporting.

Former Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller has regained control over the country after winning the election held on December 29, 2011, MSNBC is reporting. The country’s first female leader will be given a second chance after defeating current Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

Official results of the election have not yet been released, but the elections director, Orrette Fisher, said that Simpson Miller’s People’s National Party (PNP) was heading toward a victory over Holness’ Jamaica Labor Party. “Based…

Casey Desmond is probably a name you have heard more than once this year, especially if you watched “The Voice”. The Boston native was a part of Adam Levine’s team, which also consisted of “The Voice” winner, Javier Colon. Unfortunately, the singer, songwriter and musician was sent home by Levine after she battled teammate, Jeff Jenkins, on Elton John’s “Don’t Let Sun Go Down On Me”. You only temporarily had to say goodbye to Desmond that night in May because in 2012, she will be releasing a new studio album. Yes, Desmond will frequently be associated with “The Voice”, but her 2012 album will also showcase her game-shifting sound abilities…

Like all years of cinema, 2011 has seen its fair share of posters. However, a large portion of them are, let’s face it, lazy. The increased marketability of actors and actresses, as well as some misuses of Photoshop, have made what was once a grand medium into just bland advertisement. Just take a look at the regression of the “Harry Potter” posters. What once was a hand-drawn, composed piece is now just an actor or actress looking off-screen with a bluish-green light tinting them. Rocket science isn’t needed for that. However, 2011 has also seen some great posters that remind us what it is to look at an actual movie…

Ridley Scott’s film “Prometheus” has been talked about as one of the biggest movies of 2012, if not the biggest one of 2012, period. Mostly because it’s Scott’s return to the sci-fi genre he helped redefine with “Alien,” but also because of the stellar cast, which includes Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Patrick Wilson and Charlize Theron. Not much has been made of what Theron’s role is (or anyone else’s roles, for that matter), but Perez Hilton managed to get the scoop on what Theron will be doing in the film. According to the site, Theron said in a recent interview that her character is the opposition in the…

Title: Roadie Director: Michael Cuesta (‘L.I.E.’) Starring: Ron Eldard (‘Super 8′), Bobby Cannavale, Jill Hennessy and Lois Smith (‘True Blood’) Rarely does a screenwriter-director have the courage to create an authentic main character who longs for, and struggles to let go of, the past.
