After over ten years of my unrequested, drunken quoting of lines from The State, my friends who didn't have cable as kids will finally know what I'm talking about when the MTV sketch comedy show comes to DVD. What those friends don't realize is that, while it's true they'll at ... / Continue →

Adrian Grenier looks way different in person If you ask me, vampire movies jumped the shark right around the time Queen of the Damned came out. Apparently, Ridley Scott disagrees and will be directing a screen adaptation of the incomplete manuscript The Passage (seriously? we'... / Continue →

Gavin had mixed feelings; he'd never before won an award and passed a kidney stone on the same day. Gavin Hood has been announced as the director of Wolverine, the X-Men spinoff starring Hugh Jackman. Hood is a dirty South African best known for writing and directing Tsotsi. ... / Continue →

Columbia Pictures appears to have a lot of faith in Seth Rogen since the success of Knocked Up: according to Variety, they've just given him writing/acting duty on the long-discussed Green Hornet project. Once rumored as a vehicle for typically-handsome leads George Clooney, Ma... / Continue →

With the deliberate photography, quirky props and costumes, fine attention to detail, and three distinctive noses, it must be the poster to Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. I could pretend I'm not completely enamored with this, but then I worry no one will send me tickets... / Continue →

In a clip faker than a hooker's orgasm (though the crying is usually genuine), Corey Feldman tells Corey Haim about the Lost Boys sequel and that he's not going to be in it. If it were anyone else, I'd say "Buck up, kid, you dodged a bullet on this one, trust me." But even a ... / Continue →

Ugh, shouldn't have watched that second episode of Two and a Half Men The Emmy nominations came out today, and the first nom for best comedy series is Entourage. I think that really says it all. That tool carnival full of Hollywood smelling its own farts makes me urinate pus.... / Continue →

"Thetaaaaaaaaaan!!" Okay, so mainly this is all just an excuse to repost this totally sweet picture of Tom Cruise and Col. Klink, but still. The first stills from Valkyrie have hit the web. You can tell Tom Cruise has really mastered the nazi art of leaning back on your heels a... / Continue →

This new poster for Death Sentence, a Comic-Con exclusive, reminds me of: 1. The cover art for Reservoir Dogs. 2. Sin City artwork. 3. The time I was raped by a well hung, well dressed albino. Source... / Continue →

Bloody Disgusting is reporting a rumor (whatever the hell that means) that Troll is going to get a big budget remake. Watching the above clip might make you excited for something like that, but think about it, what would a big budget remake of this be like? Well, first they'd... / Continue →

I would have thought any movie written by Ethan Hawke, directed by Ethan Hawke, and based on the novel by Ethan Hawke would be far too Ethan Hawkey for my taste, by which I mean shitty. But this trailer, though pretty typical of coming-of-age indie dramedies, looks surprisingly... / Continue →

We posted the Last Legion trailer yesterday, now we've got the poster. Ever since Rome on HBO and my raging man crush on Marc Antony, I've had a thing for men in skirts. Except for John Travolta, he makes my eyes bleed. Oh, and Uncle Larry, who could also stand to hit the el... / Continue →

That's Asian talk for "Who wants a mustache ride?" In honor of Sonny Chiba's impending retirement from action movies, I'm posting a totally kickass clip of him karate chopping a bull to death (after the jump). It really needs no commentary. And trust me, even if you're not in... / Continue →

Well, folks, in honor of hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy day, I bring you the trailer for Who's Your Caddy. It's the story of a typical African-American man who rankles the country club establishment simply by doing things that all black people do, like putting big shiny rim... / Continue →

You just know that somewhere, a bar on the Jersey shore is missing a janitor and a best customer. Last week, The Singing Bee, an NBC game show hosted by Joe Fat One, formerly of NSync, drew 13 million viewers. According to long-suffering NBC, The Singing Bee was the highest-... / Continue →

I know it's kind of lazy to post links to features on other sites, but then again, I work from home and don't wear pants, so the fact that I even bother wiping some of the time should almost be a surprise. Anyway, Uber has a nice collection of YouTube clips illustrating the suc... / Continue →

Mormons weren't always harmless dorks on bicycles or hot blonde girls for whom you denounced your own faith so you could bone. Back in the 1857, they came dangerously close to being officially at war with the U.S. government. September Dawn is the story of the events of 9-11... / Continue →

It's been a while since we've heard from our favorite shell-shocked, headbanded war hero, John Rambo. He's got a self-titled fourth film coming out next year, so what's he been up to? Well, as these new shots show us, mostly just shooting a bow and arrow at mermaids, but occasi... / Continue →

Watching the trailer for Strange Bedfellows, an Australian comedy that came out in 2004, you get the feeling that it was the basis of the idea for I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Bedfellows star Michael Caton said as much himself. According to JoBlo, which cites an article... / Continue →

Despite starring a huge Bollywood star, Colin Firth and Thomas Sangster, and telling the story of The Sword in the Stone, I assure you this trailer is not one of those popular "mash-ups" where they've mixed Love Actually with King Arthur and that Little Superstar character, dub... / Continue →

Remember two months ago when Jeffrey Katzenberg said there would be one more Shrek, insisting he'd always envisioned a fourth and final story of the character's origin? Well, Richard Sullivan, a Dreamworks animation rep, has now essentially told the LA Times, "Did he say four? ... / Continue →

It seems strange to me that they would market Ben Affleck's directorial debut with the large image of his fairly unknown brother, never even mentioning Ben or his Academy Award. Maybe they're trying to avoid reminding us that he's nearly a rapist. Trailer here. Source... / Continue →

I'm really not sure how much of this is article is joking and how much is serious, but I've never been one to avoid blind speculation, erroneous reporting, or outright lying, so here it is: the characters from the Comedy Central cult favorite Strangers with Candy may find thems... / Continue →

Thankfully, Bob the Cameraman was unable to read subtitles Ghosts of Cite Soleil is a documentary about life in a Haitian slum that, from the trailer, looks like a real-life version of City of God. The film follows two of the gang leaders, who happen to be brothers, and are ... / Continue →

You, with the boobs, my room, 10 minutes. According to the Guardian, Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to play Hugh Hefner in the upcoming biopic. The British are about as well known for responsible journalism as they are for world-class dentistry, and "in talks" is pretty vague... / Continue →

Jon Heder's been in a fair few movies since Napoleon Dynamite, and even his magic underwear haven't been able to bring them success at the box office or on the reviews page. In this trailer for Moving McAllister he apparently plays some sort of Mormon-looking Indian shaman. S... / Continue →

Harrison Ford (right) in a rarely captured embrace with greed. I thought we had the promise that the fourth Indiana Jones film would wrap up the series, but now comes word from IESB that Harrison Ford has signed on to a three-picture deal in the series, with his co-star Shia La... / Continue →

Yes, someone has gotten slightly closer to the set of The Dark Knight and grabbed even more shots of the anticipated villain. Until Warner Bros. supplies us with the quality and quantity of pictures expected from Sears Portrait Studio, expect more of the same. This one gives a ... / Continue →

USA Today is running this story under the headline "Moore calls truce with CNN over 'Sicko'". The rest of the story makes it sound more like it was "agree to disagree" than a truce, persay, but it does point out a few errors in CNN's fact-checking of Moore's movie that I poste... / Continue →

A few weeks ago, I reported that The Simpsons Movie site had a feature that allowed you to design your own character in the style of the cartoon. It seemed only obvious for me to make Ted Kaczynski. Now Burger King, working in conjunction with the new movie, has another versi... / Continue →

As I've often pointed out, few things in life are as awesomely ridiculous as Thai action flicks. Dynamite Warrior comes from the same country and the same choreographer as Ong Bak and The Protector, so my hopes that it could turn out as awesome as a guy throwing a baby elephan... / Continue →

The unabomber wasn't always so averse to technology The description for the King of Kong trailer on Apple.com is "Follows a middle school science teacher as he battles a hot sauce mogul for the Guinness World Record on the arcade classic Donkey Kong." I wasn't all that intrigu... / Continue →

A fine mess you've gotten us into... Poor Evan Almighty. It cost $210 million to make and still hasn't reached the $100 million dollar mark at the box office. And now comes the news that the film won't even be released in Japan. Sources behind the decision say that it would'... / Continue →

Bay was too distracted by Megan Fox's tits to notice that his characters were reacting to the same offscreen action while looking in two different directions. Despite reports that 65-year-old Harrison Ford is doing all his own stunts and is fighting a courageous battle against ... / Continue →

Desperately trying to avoid a "black guys love fat white chicks" joke here... VH1 is reporting the Elijah Kelley will play Sammy Davis Jr. in an upcoming biopic. I didn't really know who Elijah Kelley was before today, but internet searches have led me to believe that he is an... / Continue →

I wash my hands 100 times a day because they smell like my mother! Kinda weird lookin' Steve Buscemi recently made the interview rounds to promote Interview. Frankly, it looks like a bit of a snooze fest, but Buscemi was also asked about appearing in I Now Pronounce You Chuck ... / Continue →

Ladies love it when I stand diagonal. Rowr! Seth Green is set to join Robin Williams, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, and Matt Dillon in Old Dogs, the most strangely casted movie ever. "Dogs" is a buddy comedy revolving around two best friends and business partners whose lives... / Continue →

Since I'm still willing to grab at any pathetic, Batman-themed carrot dangled in front of me, here's a super-secret shot taken from set of The Dark Knight. It's either Heath Ledger as The Joker, his stunt-double as The Joker, or the ghost of Brandon Lee, come to haunt the set a... / Continue →

I'll give it to you straight here: I have man-crushes on Martin Freeman and Simon Pegg because of The Office and Shaun of the Dead, and a regular crush on Penelope Cruz because of looking amazing even if slightly mousy, so their presence makes me really want to see this hokey d... / Continue →

A nightmare to anyone with claustrophobia or good taste. IFC has announced that R. Kelly will remain trapped in the closet just a bit longer, with the network ordering 10 additional chapters to the already epic hip-hopera Trapped in the Closet. Assuming you've seen this--perhap... / Continue →

As much as I try, I can't take Todd Haynes' Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There seriously. Having several actors (like Christian Bale, Richard Gere, and Heath Ledger) play Dylan sounded interesting, but this clip with Cate Blanchett as the songster and David Cross as Allen Ginsberg ... / Continue →
