Regular MovieTome users have probably already noticed that the site now has a new, spruced-up, pretty-as-can-be home page. We wanted to make sure our best and most relevant content was getting proper recognition, and so we hope our new categories for featured videos, stories, and image galleries prove useful. Note that we've also created a News page showcasing the latest news and feature stories from the MovieTome team. This is updated multiple times each day, so check back often for new stories! We'll keep you up to date on the latest movie news and post announcements on new trailers, important images, and other updates as well. Enjoy!

We're heading to San Diego this week for the amazing and overwhelming experience that is Comic-Con. Not only will we be covering panels, shooting tons of photos, Twittering, and scouring the aisles for the best costumed superheroes (you know who you are), but we also have a truckload of interviews lined up with many of the filmmakers and stars who'll be there in person. And with that in mind, we need your help!

Do you have any burning questions you feel we should ask the stars, directors, and other artists we get in front of the camera? Pass them along!

To do so in an organized fashion, we've set up pages on the forums for each of the major films we're scheduled to cover. To pass along your questions, simply navigate to the appropriate forum page (linked below) and drop in your question. We can't promise to use every single one--but we'll do our best to get the choicest comments out there. Thanks in advance for your participation!

Astro Boy

Alice in Wonderland

Tron 2

Jennifer's Body

Kick-Ass

Thirst

Book of Eli

Where the Wild Things Are

Does the holiday season start before Thanksgiving, as of Thanksgiving, or after Thanksgiving?

Here at MovieTome, the Thanksgiving holiday, at least, starts right about now, which means we'll be out of the office until Monday, December 1.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

While the rest of the world traditionally celebrates Labor Day in May, we in the U.S. like to do things a little differently, and celebrate in September. This means that Monday, September 1, the MovieTome staff will be out of the office, celebrating the last hurrah of summer, and wearing white while we still can. Business will be back to usual on Tuesday.

Have a safe long weekend everybody!

Friday is the Fourth of July, and and the MovieTome staff will be celebrating with plenty of fireworks and barbecues. Since fire codes prevent us from setting off fireworks or barbecuing inside the building, we won't be in the office. Business will be back to usual on Monday!

Have a safe long weekend everybody!

There will be a brief period of site maintenance Wednesday (7/2) morning at 7 am PDT, which may result in you seeing more of the above than usual. All other parts of the site will be functioning normally, but potentially missing a few images. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey everyone! The MovieTome staff will be commemorating the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, May 26, and won't be in the offices. We'll be back on Tuesday!

Also, the site will be undergoing some maintenance in the wee hours of Tuesday morning (May 27), from 1-3 am PDT. During this time, all users will be treated as logged out, which means no blogging, forum posting, etc., but you should still be able to see access and read all areas of the site. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Sorry everyone -- effective immediately, all types of user submissions are disabled and temporarily on hold. I'm sorry that we haven't had the resources available to really get these up and running at full speed, but hopefully the break from user submissions will only mean a more kickass submission system once things are kicked into high gear. In the meantime, don't forget that there are still all the community forums to discuss in, and Kayvan's breaking news posts to check out every day!

It's not quite Movies, but check out our all new staff blog on TV.com, Scene on TV, where the same people working behind the scenes here at MovieTome rant, rave, and just dish about the goings-on in TV-land.

Don't worry, we've still got our own In Focus blog, where Kayvan continues to blog about the latest and greatest (and not-so-great... Kayvan has high standards sometimes), in the world of celluloid (literal and metaphorical). But hopefully you'll come to know and love both blogs, as your go-to resource for entertainment world news, a kind of dynamic duo: "Scene on TV... In Focus" I mean, who wants to watch TV (or anything else for that matter), not in focus, right? Right?

All right, bad joke. In any case, go check it out!

Did you miss this past Sunday's 80th Academy Awards? Fall asleep somewhere between Best Costume Design and Best Director? Never fear! Kayvan comes to the rescue with the complete list of winners. Also, check out the results of our sister site, TV.com's Oscar's Should Win Will Win poll -- who did a better job, TV.com or the Academy?

And if you're still a little red-carpet envious, check out our photo gallery from the big night.

Our tech gurus will be doing some maintenance on the databases, which means the forums will be down briefly at 10:00 pm PDT tonight (2/19). The outage should only last about 30 minutes, and the rest of the site should be functioning normally. Sorry for the inconvenience!

As you know, CNET's FilmSpot site became MovieTome late last year. Now, along with the name change, our address is also changing permanently to http://www.movietome.com. As of January 31, 2008, http://www.filmspot.com will NOT bring you back to MovieTome, so please be sure to change any bookmarks and links that may still contain the filmspot.com lead. And remember, come straight to http://www.movietome.com instead!

MovieTome will be taking a break for the holidays, but we'll be back in full swing come January 2, 2008 (well, maybe not full swing... some of us might still be shaking off the egg nog and confetti). We'll be checking in every now and then to make sure things are functioning in our absence, but please understand that any messages or requests to staff or the site will take some extra time.

Happy Holidays everyone!

You may have noticed we changed the name to MovieTome. If you experience any glitchy-ness that might have been caused by the change over, please let us know. Thanks!

UPDATE: And we're back! Please let us know if there's any lingering weirdness.

You've probably noticed the weirdness with the PMs on the site lately; we've got a team of engineers looking into the problem now, but unfortunately this means we've got to take the PM system down for a while. This affects all PMs across CNE sites (GameSpot, TV.com, MovieTome and MP3.com); sorry, and thanks for your patience!

Now you've got an easier way to find the films you love (and stay away from the ones you hate) with our new genre hubs! Just click on your favorite film genre from the the sub-nav bar (that's the bar below the main navibation bar listing "Home," "Now Playing," "Showtimes," etc. just under the search bar -- yeah, I had no idea what sub-nav meant until a few months ago...), and find the latest and greatest related to that genre.

Personally, I'll be staying away from that Horror hub, and peacefully enjoy checking out the newest features of Comedy without fear of a half-dead zombie or serial killer picture scaring the bejeezus out of me. If only the rest of life could be so carefree...
