    Another day, another Transformers picture. We've already seen the design for Optimus Prime, but there was still the question of if he'd hold a giant gun. Thanks to this new picture at Aint It Cool, we finally know. Yes, it turns out he will sport a giant gun, giving the acti... / Continue →

    David Goyer's supernatural thriller, The Invisible, tells the story of a young man left for dead who finds himself invisible to the living, separated from his body. It sounds pretty neat, unfortunately I can't get behind a poster for invisibility that isn't centered around a ... / Continue →

    For me, the draw to superhero movies has never been the cool, superpowered costumed hero. I'm seeing it for the one-dimensional love interest every time. It appears someone else feels the same way, as Sky News reports that Lois Lane will not only have a larger part in the next ... / Continue →

    Between keeping track of the reissuing the Star Wars films and their personal duties of repainting new uniforms on G.I. Joes, nerds just can't get a break when it comes to the renovations of their old obsessions. The latest to fall victim to the hand of progress is Star Trek: Th... / Continue →

    Even Stevens and Robert Downey Jr. in the same movie? I must be in God's mouth! Gosh, no, I just watched the trailer for A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, which also stars Rosario Dawson. It looks like a pretty standard story. After watching the trailer, we can all see wh... / Continue →

    The teaser poster for Fox Atomic's Revenge of the Nerds remake has been released, reminding us why we hate nerds: mostly their stupid glasses, but also how they're annoying and nerdy. To me, the poster seems a bit outdated in its portrayal of a nerd. I guess it's hard to conv... / Continue →

    Yes, another Transformers picture. Until they go ahead and release some actual shots of these f'ing robots, we're going to have to keep stealing these cheap glances at the figurative Transformer urinal. Or the literal Transformer urinal, if you're into that. This closeup is ... / Continue →

    The new poster for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning teaches that proper chainsaw maintenance doesn't begin with oil and chain replacement--it begins with hugs. This poster is only slightly better than my idea of a Classic Concentration-style rebus with a drawing of l... / Continue →

    Following the likes of Wayne Brady and Carnie Wilson, the imagined popularity of the Terminator has earned him a television program. The story is set to take place immediately following the events of Terminator 2, just after the point where everyone stopped caring about the Term... / Continue →

    One sign I look for that always indicates a good movie is when the protagonist is shot in the head and in a coma by the halfway point. If that happens, you know you're really in for a cinematic treat. Such is the case with Jean-Claude Van Damme's newest masterwork. First I t... / Continue →

    As much as I respect the Academy of Arts and Sciences, particularly the sciences division, I didn't bother watching much of the Emmy Awards. But if I did, this is what it would have been like had I "liveblogged" it.... / Continue →

    The trailer for Driving Lessons has been released, giving the redhead kid from Harry Potter one more shot at acting before turning to drugs and pornography. The plot involves a shy, dweeby boy who becomes best friends with an eccentric old woman as they spend their days togeth... / Continue →

    Everyone is familiar with the story of the car crash that took Princess Diana from the world, leaving a hole in our hearts and several pages of the The National Enquirer. (If you aren't familiar, listen to the Elton John song. You'll get the drift.) While moral weaklings deba... / Continue →
