“I was probably 10 years old when I first saw the original, on VHS from Blockbuster,” Kenny Wormald, who stars as Ren MacCormack in the new remake of the 1984 dance classic, said. “Going into this, I knew the magnitude of the film and the responsibility that we had—I think we upheld that.”Last night came [...]

“The British, I think they just have a better sense of humor,” Dree Hemingway said last night at the after-party for English director Stephen Frears’ new film Tamara Drewe at the Crosby Street Hotel. She’d spent the rainy evening taking in a Cinema Society and Altoids-hosted screening and got a kick out of the dark [...]

“It’s great to have a regular movie night!” said Michelle Monaghan at Friday night’s Cinema Society screening of her new film Trucker. Well, at least as regular as these things can get.

The after-party at the Gramercy Hotel rooftop was nice enough, [...]

In yesterday’s sweltering heat, plenty of New Yorkers surely fantasized about getting away to somewhere chilly and exotic. Guests at last night’s Cinema Society screening of “Transsiberian,” Brad Anderson’s terrifying thriller about an American couple (Emily Mortimer and Woody Harrelson) on a Russian train trip, were not among them. Condé Nast Traveler—whose publicists clearly [...]

What happens in Vegas…made for good cocktail chatter at last night’s Cinema Society after-party for the screening of “Finding Amanda” at the Tribeca Grand. The dramedy, directed by Peter Tolan, tells the story of a gambling addict (Matthew Broderick) who heads to Sin City to rescue his prostitute niece (Brittany Snow) from a life of [...]

The movies sure aren’t what they used to be. That much was clear at last night’s Cinema Society screening of “Trumbo,” Peter Askin’s documentary about outspoken Oscar-winning screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (”Spartacus,” “The Brave One”) and the injustices of the McCarthy-era Hollywood blacklist.
