After seeing Star Wars: The First Massive Disappointment, The Clone One, and The One with the Goofy Scream at the End, a lot of viewers probably thought Hayden Christensen could only deliver stilted emotion and non-existant sexual chemistry in the confines of computer-generated... / Continue →

A little over a month ago, some of you may remember that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson asked fans which role he should take in Shazam: Shazam, or his enemy, Black Adam. Fans, apparently, answered with the resounding cry of "Black Adam," to which Rock replied (in a strange Ren-fair... / Continue →

As many of you already know, a Writers Guild strike is looming, and could very well begin on Monday unless a deal is reached over the weekend. You can find out more of the details here, but for a unique perspective on the situation, I've turned to veteran Price is Right writer ... / Continue →

For Pixar's first foray into the world of 2-D animation, the 11-minute Your Friend the Rat included on the Ratatouille DVD, they appear to be exploring the three worst epidemics of the New York subway system: homeless gangs, rats, and feminists. The first two are pretty widely... / Continue →

In this first shot from Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon, it looks like Frank Langella is doing a pretty decent impression of Nixon's famous helicopter departure tribute to the number four. But I can't help but wonder, what does neighbor Ken Stack think of the reenactment? Luckily, th... / Continue →

How you can tell, from just this one image, that Corey Feldman is even more lost/badass in Lost Boys 2 than the original? 1. Stern, accusing finger pointing in the face of defiance. This guy is not taking shit from anyone, especially those who aren't lost. Where have I seen th... / Continue →

If you're going to wait five years between projects, you'd better have a good excuse. And if it isn't that you were busy destroying your career, ending your marriage, endangering your children, and consuming huge amounts of snack food, the second best justification just might ... / Continue →

If you were an adolescent in the mid-'90s, no doubt you spent endless hours playing the 3-D fighting game Tekken--unless you were more into Virtua Fighter or building socialization skills, or, like me, were too caught up exploring your newly-developing body. Anyway, despite t... / Continue →

How to write a National Treasure movie, as demonstrated in this new trailer to National Treasure: Book of Secrets: 1. Go by a screenwriting name that sounds like a PBS cartoon family. Book of Secrets is written by The Wibberleys, but something like The Flutentoots is fine too.... / Continue →

Should someone win an Oscar for doing a goofy impression of Julia Child that probably won't be as good as the one Dan Aykroyd did 30 years ago? Probably not. But knowing Meryl Streep, she probably will now that she's been cast as the famous chef in the comedy Julia & Julia. Ot... / Continue →

No doubt due to the lingering popularity of Dancing with the Stars, Variety has announced a sequel to Dances with Wolves is in development with Simon Wincer at the helm, titled The Holy Road. Story picks up 11 years after "Wolves" as the Comanche tribe is in steady decline and... / Continue →

Given that this is a somewhat under-the-radar movie blog (officially recognized as such by PC Magazine!), and that I have a tendency to find the gaping logic holes in such endeavors as an Oxygen reality show about Coolio, it's rare that I make the mailing list for studio press ... / Continue →

Shrek Goes Fourth!? Shrek Goes Fourth!? Seriously? Jesus. Somehow they've managed to make the name more annoying than the comedy. They've got to be kicking themselves that such a witty naming scheme was only conceived after the plainly-titled Shrek 2. So, in honor of Shrek's ... / Continue →

This new Conan movie is bound to be good. Not only are they staying more faithful to Robert E. Howard's original creation, they're using Schwarzenegger's torso from 1980! New Conan Teaser Poster! [ComingSoon]... / Continue →

The problem with this Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem banner, aside from the concept it's promoting, is that this is like the lamest pose a Predator can make. If you could be there, at the Predator Bar Mitzvah or wherever they get their learning claws, this is definitely what ever... / Continue →

Congraulations! Thanks the efforts of countless fanboys across the nation, it's been confirmed that the message on WhySoSerious.com is indeed "THE ONLY SENSIBLE WAY TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD IS WITHOUT RULES", and we've been rewarded with another site and a picture of Joker giving ... / Continue →

Wanted seems to be trying to create a new genre of "movie about a cubical worker who finds out he's one of the few able to use special powers with bullet-time effects, then becomes an awesome shoot-em-up expert with a hot lady counterpart and a wise black master, but isn't The ... / Continue →

I don't know whose idea it was to make a heist comedy involving Diane Lane (oops!) Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Katie Holmes, but like the kid in school lunch who ate Combos and bologna covered in toothpaste and mayonnaise, they should be applauded for even thinking of mixing suc... / Continue →

Of all the questions I have about Fast Glass--such as why Nick Carter is playing Jamie Kennedy playing a thug, why the teen heartthrob from 10 Things I Hate About You is in a movie rather than a drug-filled basement with JTT, and why this isn't officially a Fast and the Furious... / Continue →

After hearing Robert Goulet died yesterday of pulmonary fibrosis, it's hard to know what to say of someone my generation probably knows best through a mocking (yet hilarious) caricature on SNL. Am I still allowed to laugh as I watch Will Ferrell, mustached and bespectacled, sin... / Continue →

For the last two weeks, The Dark Knight viral site Why So Serious? has been counting down to Halloween with the image of a pumpkin, candle burning inside, one half deteriorating at roughly the same rate as my interest. Finally, something has happened, and a Warner Bros. intern... / Continue →

I can't believe I used to fear getting a girl pregnant in high school, when it turns out it's a really quirky, indie thing to do. As seen here, a child growing inside a young womb can bring about such things as Arrested Development's Michael Cera, cute hand lettering, and prais... / Continue →

Admittedly, I was pretty surprised and relieved when NBC remade the outstanding UK The Office and it came out as something genuinely watchable, and even enjoyable. But rather than treat this as anomaly it is, Fox is going to take a role of the dice and try not to ruin Spaced, t... / Continue →

In a surprising move (or at least surprising it's not a VH1 production), network executives have decided Coolio deserves a reality show, and that it's audience is the same group that watches Tracey Gold TV movies and Designing Women reruns: middle-aged women. Oxygen has greenl... / Continue →

It's a beautiful but tragic thing to capture the exact moment when someone exits the realm of legitimate acting and joins the ranks of old guys just being old, but it appears they've done it with this poster. Like the posters for Grumpy/Grumpier Old Men and Secondhand Lions, Th... / Continue →

- Brett Ratner has said he is no longer the directing the Escape From New York remake, giving him plenty of time for two or three more Rush Hours. [AICN] - David Dobkin, director of The Wedding Crashers and Fred Claus announced he's taken over the reigns of the Flash movie hoped... / Continue →

If there's one thing beer advertisements have taught us--besides to drink beer--it's that nothing sells better than indulging the fantasies of the adolescent male mind, better known as the testicle. This can be seen above in this new shot from Wanted, where Angelina Jolie hang... / Continue →

Speaking publicly for the first time since his hospitalization, Owen Wilson does not, as many hoped, go into the details of his attempted suicide. This interview with longtime collaborator Wes Anderson does, however, give some interesting bits on their new film, The Darjeeling ... / Continue →

It looks like Dreamworks is already sending out their cease and desists, but for the time being, you can check out the teaser trailer to their latest CGI masterpiece, Kung Fu Panda (AKA Shrek the Panda) at /Film. I never understand why they forcibly remove the free advertising... / Continue →

Clay has got it all: Terrence Howard complimenting him, Jessica Alba bathing clothed with him, a mom who for some reason hates the idea of him marrying Jessica Alba. But, wouldn't you know it, he needs some sort of undefined chest surgery that might kill him. Such is the pligh... / Continue →

1. Saw IV - Taking in over $32.1 million, Saw successfully continues its publicly-funded struggle to be The Land Before Time of horror movies. 2. Dan in Real Life - The nation showed they'd rather pay $12.1 million to see Dan in Real Life than continue their own pitiful real l... / Continue →

In this self-dubbed chilling drama from Woody Allen, the director hopes to answer the lingering question of which country has the more pensive handsome leading actor: Ireland or Scotland? At first glance, I'd think Farrell is representing the more pensive look with his slight l... / Continue →
