    The official Transformers movie website has posted a teaser for the film. Still no solid look at the robots themselves, but you do get a peek at the silhouette of one. And if I can't see an actual Transformer, I'll take a silhouette over nothing. And if I can't have contact ... / Continue →

    The "Phantom Menace" of the Christ saga, The Nativity Story, has a teaser trailer online for you to pray over. It's very descriptive, noting that the movie will contain one family, one journey, and one child. Is that right? Maybe a few wise men, too? Some barn animals? Tha... / Continue →

    The unstoppable team of Kutch and Cost(ner) star in The Guardian, the tale of an expert Coast Guard rescue swimmer (Cost) sent to teach new recruits, one of which is the brash, young hotshot Kutch. Only watch this trailer if you really have nothing else to do. If you just los... / Continue →

    So you've seen the teaser trailer for Spider-Man 3, but you're still wondering who the mysterious fourth villain will be? Film Ick claims they know, plus a lot more of the plot. In the interest of preserving the possible "spoiler," I'll put the answer behind the cut. Think of i... / Continue →

    The poster for Saw 3 has been released, cleverly using the few teeth left in a mouth to almost form the appropriate Roman numeral. Because graphic disfigurement is probably the best way to sell a movie. Why else would they keep casting Sarah Jessica Parker in things? Source... / Continue →

    After the link went down for the bootlegged Spider-Man 3 teaser trailer, I went about recreating it on the street, you know, really bring it to the people. Things didn't go well. It turns out covering yourself in black make-up can be mistaken for another types of performance.... / Continue →

    Here's the poster for The Illusionist, the story of a magician (Edward Norton) using his abilities to win the love of a woman (Jessica Biel) far above his social standing. I'm pretty sure it's just the life of David Copperfield, except instead of using illusions to win over su... / Continue →

    Following months of speculation, Star Jones finally made the formal announcement of her departure from the The View. Star was one of the original cast members when the show began nine years ago, and is particularly notable for continuing to be known as "the fat one" even after l... / Continue →

    If you can't wait to see the Spider-Man 3 teaser trailer before Superman Returns, some trusty bootleggers have videotaped it and posted it online here. Treating it like a sexual experience, I figured it wouldn't last long and took some photo proof. The Spider-Man shots are un... / Continue →

    I'm really liking the variety of weapons it appears that Sam Jackson is using to fight these snakes. Previous trailers showed a gun and a Taser, and now it looks like he's got a harpoon gun and something to shoot fire, too. It's like they gave up on making this a movie and de... / Continue →

    Compared to the previous poster, the new one-sheet for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby gives it a much more epic feel--like if Star Wars were set in the world of rednecks. But this galaxy far, far away is the American south, where your "Force" is measured by the nu... / Continue →

    After Johnny Depp cited Keith Richards as an influence on his character of Captain Jack Sparrow (both tie rags to themselves as decoration/are dead), rumor spread that the Rolling Stones rocker would play the pirate's father in one of the sequels. Speaking to director Gore Verbi... / Continue →

    If you're still excited about Marie Antoinette despite its poor reception at Cannes, there's a new trailer for you to enjoy. Fans of anachronism and inconsistency will be pleased it still features modern music and a jumble of vocal affectations. I'm fine with creative license... / Continue →

    I'm guessing this movie will be terrible, but I can't deny the intrinsic humor to monkeys drinking coffee in this new shot from Evan Almighty, sequel to Bruce. Did they brew it, too? How do they take it? Monkeys drinking coffee: funny. Case closed. Source... / Continue →

    Producer Aaron Spelling, responsible for such gems as Beverly Hills 90210, Charlie's Angels, Love Boat, Melrose Place, 7th Heaven, Dynasty and hundreds of other dramas(?) that made me realize how unfulfilling my life was without affairs, murder plots, and overage high schoolers, ... / Continue →
