    Lionsgate via comingsoon.net has this exclusive clip from War, the Jason Statham and Jet Li punch/kick/bang fest. Unfortunately, there aren't any martial arts in it, so it's basically a punch-free few minutes of bad acting. It's basically the action movie equivalent of watchi... / Continue →

    With the launch of another new viral marketing site by Warner Bros, supposedly made by The Joker, and more being done at ComicCon, new Dark Knight stuff has been flooding in. You can apparently get an official HD copy of the already-leaked teaser trailer here, and there are mo... / Continue →

    Hot diggity--the new Star Trek poster has been unveiled! It's, um, the words. The words "Star Trek." The title, essentially. And there's some stars. One of the stars might be the one referred to in the title. Which is "Star Trek." As seen on this exciting new poster. For Star T... / Continue →

    Hulk villain The Leader demands a payback blowjob in five minutes. Typically hillbilly-style character actor Tim Blake Nelson reportedly has a part in the new Hulk film as scientist-turned-villain Samuel Stearns. Like Hulk, Stearns is bombarded with gamma radiation that turns h... / Continue →

    Bloody Disgusting got the first shots of Jessica Alba in yet another Japanese Asian horror remake, The Eye. While a woman screaming into an oven is probably one of the weakest, and possibly most misogynistic, images they could show, I'm grateful it's not some ghastly pale kid i... / Continue →

    A script by Seth Rogen about three high school nerds paying a homeless man (Owen Wilson) to be their bodyguard seems like it would be can't miss comedy gold, but from the trailer I worry they really haven't made this Drillbit character quite "homeless" en... / Continue →

    Thanks to the wonder of ComicCon exclusives, Tim Burton's film adaptation of the Sweeney Todd musical now has a poster, and it's filled with more brooding than Morrissey listening to a Cure album. If the use of a sole red object amidst a black and white scene reminds you of th... / Continue →

    IESB's got an exclusive clip from 3:10 to Yuma. I'm not sure if I would have cast Ben Foster, the gay mutant from X3, as a badass cowboy who wears half-finger gloves, and I'm still not sure I'll buy him in the role. But I'll tell you one thing, I'm definitely excited for an... / Continue →

    Jason Lee loses a bet I found this Alvin and the Chipmunks teaser trailer over on Cinematical, where the writer had this to say: Alviiiiin! Ah, there's just something about seeing Alvin, Simon and Theodore sing Funkytown that just brings me back to my childhood, sitting at hom... / Continue →

    Here's an awful bootleg of the Dark Knight teaser trailer. You'll probably be all pissed at the crappy quality until you realize it's just sound over a Batman logo anyway. Supposedly it's going to play in front of the Simpsons movie tomorrow. HOLY CRAP I CAN'T CONTAIN MY BO... / Continue →

    The teaser poster for J.J. Abrams' secret project Cloverfield has been released, although a leaked version originally had the word 'monsterous' across the top which has been mysteriously left out. The film still doesn't have a title, but sources have confirmed (contrary to spec... / Continue →

    Empire magazine has an exclusive new shot of Iron Man on the cover of their latest issue. I just wish they covered it up with more text, because I can almost tell what the hell I'm looking at. He's definitely angry and definitely beating up the ground. That much is certain. So... / Continue →

    The light emanating from my crotch is both intense and celestial. Bask in it, Angelina. BASK FOR ALL YOU'RE WORTH! As you may have already inferred from the title of this post or your clairvoyant turtle, the trailer for Beowulf is now online. I know Zemeckis totally has a b... / Continue →

    The domestic trailer for D-War/Dragon Wars (jeez, pick a title, guys) is out, and I have to admit that it's not nearly as intriguing as the teaser I posted a few months ago. On the plus side, it does have the bouncer guy from Knocked Up. God, CGI has really ruined the B-mov... / Continue →

    Guy Ritchie had a hell of a time trying to get that "Madonna taste" out of his mouth Guy Ritchie has signed on to direct a film version of his Virgin comic series The Gamekeeper. Project revolves around the reclusive caretaker of a Scottish estate with infinite knowledge of th... / Continue →

    Ulrich Muhe, star of The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen), is dead of stomach cancer today at the age of 54. It's a bummer, because I thought he gave one of the best performances in one of the best movies of last year. On the plus side, at least he went out on top - ... / Continue →

    In case you missed it, and I'm assuming you did because who the hell watches Jay Leno anyway, here's Homer's monologue from last night's Tonight Show. Later in the show, Rob Schneider came in dressed as Lindsay Lohan (video after the jump). This is Rob Schneider's first foray ... / Continue →

    Michael Moore was on Hardball the other day, and, surprise surprise, he wore a hat. He also had some interesting advice for people having trouble with their health insurance providers: MATTHEWS: If they're right now having a problem with their HMO, and they're not getting trea... / Continue →

    "Robert Patrick? Yeah, big-time queer. What? No, that's just what I heard." An MSN article that interviewed Marvel head Avi Arad included the following tidbit: “He declined to say the director's name, but there has been speculation Australian director Alex Proyas was being wo... / Continue →

    For those of us for whom it's been far too long without seeing Russell Crowe's ass, here's the 3:10 to Yuma poster (larger version here). Or maybe it's Christian Bale's ass. Heck, it could be a stunt ass. Look, all I know is it's a sexy cowboy with his back to me and I have ... / Continue →

    "Look, kid: big-time acting isn't about 'feelings' or 'emotions', it's about funny costumes and talking loud. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a shave." Not content to rest on his laurels (what the hell is a laurel, anyway? Is it like a butt cheek? How come you never hea... / Continue →

    Zachary Quinto, star of NBC hit Heroes, is reportedly in final negotiations to play the legendary Mr. Spock in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek XI prequel. Obviously the look is amazing, but what's bizarre to me is that I first saw this as some internet fan's good idea with accompanying ... / Continue →

    Last night on The Late Show, Drew Carey announced he will be the new host of The Price is Right, taking over for Bob Barker. Now, I think they could have found a much better or much worse replacement for the recently retired host, but my main issue is just that they're continui... / Continue →

    You've probably already seen this clip by now, but it was just too good to pass up. I've never watched the Paula Abdul reality show, but after this clip I may start. I need more reasons to hate life and there aren't any Kinko's nearby. So apparently Paula Abdul's been fired ... / Continue →

    After long last, the much-anticipated Darjeeling Limited trailer is now online. Hopes I have for this movie: 1. That it wasn't just an excuse for Wes Anderson to play grab ass in India for three months. Seriously, dude loves India. 2. That it will give Adrien Brody something... / Continue →

    With an official announcement rumored for ComicCon in less than a week, the cast for Zack Snyder's Watchmen is an issue ripe with rumor. Now two more names have surfaced for roles in the film, with news that Matthew Goode will play Ozymandias, while Malin Akerman has nabbed the... / Continue →

    This EW exclusive shot of Tony Stark's hand armor thing reveals on of Iron Man's biggest weaknesses: aside from his rampant alcoholism, he's often far too serious about "giving it up." Granted, it's warranted when you've just defeated a supervillain, but this guy thinks an exce... / Continue →

    The blogosphere (read "nerds") is up in arms about the news that Seth Rogen wants Stephen Chow to play Kato in the new Green Hornet movie he's writing. Stephen Chow is both Asian and does kung fu, so I don't know what people are whining about.... / Continue →

    IESB posted six new clips from Superbad this morning. So, you know, if you're into that whole thing... Personally, I plan on actually seeing this movie, so I won't be watching any of these clips. To me, that'd be kinda like picking the toppings off a pizza before you even pu... / Continue →

    X2 and Superman Returns scribe Michael Dougherty has put together what looks to be a promising return-to-form for the horror genre with his directorial debut, Trick 'r Treat. With this and Rob Zombie's Halloween heading our way this October, it would seem studios are trying to ... / Continue →

    Despite a heavy-handed marketing effort, Hairspray couldn't compete with worse-reviewed Chuck & Larry or Harry Potter. If people are looking for a reason why, they need look no further than the picture of John Travolta in drag above. I don't care how good you tell me this mov... / Continue →

    A listful Stevenson had hoped to one day be famous enough for this to be considered career suicide The internets are now reporting that Thomas Jane's replacement in Punisher 2 will be Ray Stevenson, better known as Titus Pulow from Rome. I have to admit, this is probably the b... / Continue →

    Last week I brought you news of a Troll remake. This is what I said: Well, first they'd replace the random B-listers like Sonny Bono, and the troll would probably end up being played by Eva Longoria. Then they'd take out the awesome lo-fi effects and replace it with CGI. And ... / Continue →
