Dec 29 2006Chris Rock Thinks He Loves His Wife
Chris Rock has remade the French drama Chloe/Love in the Afternoon as a lame mainstream comedy in I Think I Love My Wife, and the trailer is now available at the official site. Rock thinks he loves his wife, but finds the monotony of marriage hard to handle as he faces his lustful urges. Most offensive is the sense you get watching it that, despite his obvious infidelity, Rock's husband character will clearly mend things with his boring wife with a Full House-style morality moment, where we learn that it's not really cheating as long as you don't get your dick wet. Judging from the preview, it would clearly be far more fulfilling, and probably more forgivable, to actually cheat on your spouse than to escort them to this crap.

This striking orange poster for the hip, stylized Smokin' Aces will please those excited for the film while angering the majority of Ireland.
Dec 28 2006Tons of Turtles Stills
There are plenty of high-resolution stills from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie over here, including the above shot of Splinter's keepsake room, revealing a very famous piece of headgear from his past. Resting on the glass case, a Robin Hood hat reminds us of Splinter's experimental trysts with Errol Flynn.
Dec 28 2006Real Genius 2 Hearts Toxic Waste
Val Kilmer is in talks to star in a sequel to his 1985 comedy Real Genius, in which he played Chris Knight, a happy-go-lucky college student working on a powerful chemical laser that will, unbeknownst to him, be delivered to the government for military purposes. The sequel will hopefully wrap up the one lingering question from the original: How will Val Kilmer end his career?
Dec 28 2006Spike Lee Making James Brown Biopic
Spike Lee has been signed to direct a biopic on the life of James Brown, rewriting a script by Jezz and Henry Butterworth. While it may seem a bit opportunistic for the director to be taking on the project so shortly after the much-publicized death of the soul singer, it's merely a coincidence. Lee has been planning the project for some time and has always hoped to start work on it as soon as he finished murdering James Brown.
Dec 26 2006Crappy Fantastic 4 Teaser (Now Less Crappy!)
Enjoy a low-quality version of the new trailer for the new Fantastic Four movie, Rise of the Silver Surfer, without enduring a low-quality version of comedy, Night at the Museum. Thanks, YouTube!
UPDATE: There's now a high quality version at Apple. Keep in mind while watching it, if he weren't silver, he'd just be a bald, naked, surfing man.
Dec 26 2006Optimus Prime is Covergirl
Aware that many fans are upset by the Transformer redesign, they've decided to put Optimus Prime in the dark for the cover of Empire Magazine. I find the lack of lens flares disheartening.
Dec 26 2006The Kingdom Trailer
The Year of the Bateman continues with his role as a U.S. counter-terrorism investigator alongside Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper and Jennifer Garner in The Kingdom. It looks like the complicated politics and motivations behind terrorism and counter-terrorism are dumbed-down into a two-hour pill that I can easily swallow, thanks largely to the smooth gel-cap coating of constant explosions.
