    From USA Today comes the first look at the Silver Surfer in the new Fantastic Four. His smooth head and concerned eyes make him reminiscent of a young, silver Montel Williams, but only the real Montel is naive enough to believe in psychic Sylvia Browne so strongly as to bring h... / Continue →

    The teaser trailer for the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double-feature Grindhouse is on Yahoo! Movies. It looks like the film, or at least the trailer, has had scratches, hairs, and projector noise added to give them a gritty feel in even the most sophisticated high-end d... / Continue →

    From the creator of Two Weeks Notice and the Miss Congeniality franchise comes Music and Lyrics, with romcom stalwarts Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore playing the same characters they always play in a story so familiar and trustworthy that audiences will likely make the same mist... / Continue →

    Photographic evidence supplied by Midget Rolling Stones Fan proves once and for all that your Jack Sparrow Halloween costume wasn't as f***ing unique as you thought. Source... / Continue →

    This lobby card for Quentin Tarantino's portion of the double-feature Grindhouse, Death Proof, got me pretty psyched-up about the film. Until I was told this was the final photograph of Princess Diana. See more from Death Proof here, with Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror lobby... / Continue →

    Ocean's 13 is the latest film to follow the hallowed Hollywood philosophy, "Even if it didn't start as a trilogy, it sure will be after we make a third one." In this installment, the Ocean boys prove they don't need the dolphin-toothed grin of Julia Roberts to continue the nove... / Continue →

    When the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer came out without stars' names attached, I assumed the voices would largely be provided by voice of Cheerios Bee, older brother from Boy Meets World, Mark Hamil, etc. As it turns out, some actual stars will be joining the cast but no... / Continue →

    The trailer for Transformers looks like every other Michael Bay movie, except with transforming robots. It did, however, give me a good idea for a porno version. Transboners tells the story of a team of alien dildos that have sex with women, then turn into robots and have sex w... / Continue →

    The hokey, ridiculously present soundtrack combined with unnecessary title cards makes me think this John Travolta/Tim Allen/William H. Macy/Martin Lawrence vehicle is actually some kind of mash-up trailer mixing dubbed footage from Easy Rider with footage from Be Cool, The Sha... / Continue →

    The first half of the trailer focuses on how Nancy Drew is obnoxiously proficient at every skill imaginable, while the second half concentrates on her varying popularity among boys and female social groups and her attempted assassination by explosive device. The only evidence f... / Continue →

    In Fast Track, Zach Braff struggles through family and co-worker comedy well covered in sterling films like Meet the Parents and Anger Management. Even though we see the triumphant return of Grodin here, as well as the best take on the trying-to-prove-a-guy-can-walk-by-pulling-... / Continue →

    If Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj wasn't evidence enough that Kal Penn was on the sad path of making the kind of party movies that haven't been seen since the '80s, this poster for Under New Management should ease any doubts. Source... / Continue →

    Sorry for the short absence, but my family demanded my presence for an early holiday visit and I forgot my obligations of inconsequential movie news with unfunny commentary. New shots from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium reveal that Mr. Magorium's "wonders" are actually mundane... / Continue →

    If you loved Shrek 1 and 2, you've got to see the trailer for Shrek the Third! Maybe that will finally beat the misplaced interest out of you. Source... / Continue →

    Joe Barbera, the latter half of the Hanna-Barbera team animation team that created Tom & Jerry, the Flintstones, and many more, died Monday of natural causes. Though perhaps best known for his comic creations, were it not for his work on the Yogi Bear series of documentaries, we'... / Continue →

    Here's the poster to the film adaptation of Nancy Drew, the premiere of which I suspect will be a Dateline pedophile raid. As the poster implies, this case features N.D. hot on the trail of finding out who shaved this fat little Ewok in the lower left. Nancy Fact: In order to ... / Continue →

    The poster for Fred Claus shows us that not only does Santa have that annoying relative like we do, he also has a poorly Photoshopped peep-hole door on his faux-wood fiberglass door that obscures how absurdly fat Vince Vaughn's head has gotten, like we do. Source... / Continue →

    Only ten years or so after everyone lost interest in the pop-art comic, the Mike Allred classic Madman, long in talks for a feature, will finally be brought to screens by George Huang, director of Swimming With Sharks. So start reading the collections now if you'd like to the fir... / Continue →
