Worried about how to alter the look of your superhero protagonist enough between films that it warrants selling new action figures? Don't change the costume, silly! Just go the Hellboy 2 route, and give your character some sort of visibly crippling mental disability. Maybe you ... / Continue →

I haven't really been following Marie Osmond fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a giant, plastic-surgeoned porcelain doll on Dancing with the Stars, and I admit my time on "the streets" is too limited to accurately assess if disputes are so frequently settled by elaborat... / Continue →

With all the hugely-positive reviews, movie of the year mentions, and comparisons to indie-smash Little Miss Sunshine (presupposing that Little Miss Sunshine is God), it's practically sacrilege not to dump praise over Juno like it just won a football game. Isn't anyone else so... / Continue →

Leave it to the clever folk at Maxim magazine to think of comparing the recently released Watchmen set pictures with corresponding images from the comic, revealing the startlingly attention to detail Zack Snyder has given to every subtle element. Next thing you know, those Maxi... / Continue →

Good news! Two new cast members have joined Justice League of America! The bad news is you've probably never heard of them, unless you've by chance spent some time viewing their modeling work or knife/weapony collections (respectively). From AICN comes word that Australian mod... / Continue →

If you didn't notice, I'm running a bit behind today. So I'm just going to throw this at you with the mention that, with covers in both Wizard and Empire Magazines, The Joker is becoming a nerd's version of Kate Moss. Thanks for the tip, Brian.... / Continue →

Has your life been missing a certain, sort of pretentious, convoluted sci-fi element since you lost your copy of Dark City? Fear not: a new entry is on the horizon. It's called Franklyn, and here's a plot summary and the first image from the film. Franklyn is basically about ... / Continue →

As much as I hated the bizarre hip-hop version of the Chipmunks from the poster, this hardcore lesbian version is a far, far more terrifying alternative. Look below the cut to see how their "Disco Chipmunks" version somehow ended up a confusing amalgam of Saturday Night Fever,... / Continue →

Lingerie-clad babes and flannel hunting shirts?! Is there any wacky (mis)adventure Harold and Kumar won't go through in their endless pursuit for small, square meat patties? Clearly not. More images here.... / Continue →

Just when I thought the "person haunted by creepy dead people no one else sees" genre was completely exhausted, along comes The Orphanage with the endorsement of Guillermo del Toro and featuring a horrifying rag doll child that makes those Grudge kids look like pale assholes. ... / Continue →

If you're at all familiar with the Wayans Brothers, you know that, like a bad parody of a hurricane, or Godzilla disguised as a caucasian woman, they are a destructive force that knows no boundaries. So it comes as no surprise that, after a three-year silence about the project,... / Continue →

At first glance, this Freixenet short seems to show Martin Scorsese misusing a rare, lost Alfred Hitchcock script to sell Spanish champagne, adapting a cultural artifact for petty commercial gain. But if you watch carefully, you'll realize that The Key to Reserva is just Martin... / Continue →

When I heard that I would be getting my first look at "Zohan" today, my excitement reached an all-time high. What new man, whose name clearly begins with a Z, would be walking alongside Lindsey Lohan's thinly-tighted legs? Billy Zane? Soccer star Zinedine Zidane? The animated c... / Continue →

Next time you're at the theater, let the haunting, ever-watchful eyes of Ms. Selma Blair remind you to see Hellboy II: The Golden Army next July, and to pick up smoking. What could one puff hurt? "Liz Sherman" Theater Lobby Display [Official Hellboy II Site]... / Continue →

Seth Rogen spoke to MTV about his Green Hornet project, elaborating that he's still deciding on whether to go a more action or comedic route, that he has eyes on Steven Chow or Tony Jaa to star as Kato, and that he'll try to get more in shape for the lead role. He added: Just ... / Continue →

If you're following the tireless on-screen battle between Alien aliens, Predator aliens, and sensible storylines (who isn't?), you'll want to take a look at this new Japanese trailer for Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. I think it has at least a few new shots, plus it's fun to see... / Continue →

There are several lessons you can glean from the popularity and persistence of age-switching comedies like Freaky Friday, Big, and Like Father Like Son. First, it will be endlessly hilarious if you somehow either age to adulthood or regress to a teenage state overnight, whethe... / Continue →

When I heard the Knight Rider series was being planned for an updated remake, my first worry was if they would alter the natural perfection that spawns from David Hasselhoff driving an sarcastic talking car. Of course, they are. First came news that Hasselhoff would not be in ... / Continue →

If you've been following the tedious, ongoing saga of Joker's clues to help market The Dark Knight, have I got good news for you: there are more! Like a lengthy Price is Right game with no end or 2008 Ford Focus in sight, plus some elements of a modernized Encyclopedia Brown s... / Continue →

Variety reports that Jake Gyllenhaal has been tapped to play Joe Namath in a feature biopic on the Hall of Fame quarterback, but is it a good match? Let's decide by taking a comparative look at the two stars. Namath: Launched Jets to AFL stardom. Gyllenhaal: Launched rockets ... / Continue →

At long last, Mr. Skin, the internet's leading authority on how to watch movies like the big pervert in 8th grade--finding and awkwardly discussing movie nude scenes, however sad and brief--has released his annual list of the top twenty naked ladies in film. Here's the list, ... / Continue →

The Walk Hard Oscar campaign has made a smooth transition from the first Variety ad, a middle finger in the face laced with dick jokes, to this new one, the belligerent shouting of a crazed braggart. It seems the series is following the theme of a night out drinking with me. Ke... / Continue →

IESB got ahold of nine new clips from Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, which you may now watch at your leisure. I've better labeled the scenes so you can pick and choose which you want--just like Old Country Buffet, but without inevitable diarrhea! Clip 1 - Helena Bonham Carter's ma... / Continue →

As I've said with the previous shots of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones that have surfaced over the last few months, the guy looks pretty good for his age, and there is something undeniably exciting about seeing him back in uniform. But is anyone else picking up on that subtle ... / Continue →

From what I can discern from the trailer, the main point of The Eye is that you should never get a cornea transplant. Sure, you're blind, and a cornea transplant might restore your sight, but you also might get the eyes of the Sixth Sense kid, turning your life into an explosio... / Continue →

Director Zack Snyder has posted shots of the set for his Watchmen adaptation, where he has faithfully recreated every dirty, urine-pooled detail of New York City circa 1985--and you can even see Rorschach on the street. But how could he construct such an amazingly intricate and... / Continue →

While the clean version without all the Sex Pistols-style text on it is still being revealed, JoBlo managed to get an early look at the new Joker cover of Empire magazine. I like the direction they've gone with this, but is anyone else bothered that he never seems to be laughi... / Continue →

I know the Japanese have bested us in consumer electronics, video games, math and science skills, and animated portrayals of sex with tentacles, but movie posters? I'm afraid so. This stylized, splattered silhouette is so much cooler than our version that it's hard to believe t... / Continue →

Supposedly, this is a piece of concept art from James Cameron's Avatar portraying lady-alien Ney'tiri, and it would make sense considering the previous shot we've seen. I'm describing it as Tron meets Cats meets atomic varicose veins. Thoughts? Ney'Tiri Exposed? [MarketSaw]... / Continue →

In the Snatch tradition of gangsters delivering dark comedy in thick accents comes In Bruges, starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes. Enough swearing is littered through the trailer that, even if this ends up being terrible, it should make for a decent "drin... / Continue →

1. Enchanted - Weren't Elf, Crocodile Dundee, Jungle 2 Jungle, and whatever similar movies I'm forgetting enough to satiate the public desire for the out-of-place-wacko-in-New-York genre? The $35.3 million Enchanted made says not quite. 2. This Christmas - Audiences paid $18.6... / Continue →

In this trailer for Kung Fu Hustle director Stephen Chow's CJ7, aliens deliver a shape-shifting kickball to a boy, which takes him to space and makes him constantly scream and act like a chimp for some reason. I can't decide if this is an insane version of Batteries Not Include... / Continue →

I'm pretty sure this is only of interest to 10-year-old girls, pedophiles, or anyone who likes to watch Joan Cusack yelling, but I thought it was necessary to post the trailer to Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. Think of it as a counterweight to all the male-targeted toy-turned... / Continue →

Empire Online is such a tease. They have a new picture of The Joker, but rather than just showing it so the world can breath a sigh of relief and say, yes, that is Heath Ledger wearing a pinstriped purple suit and panda/clown makeup while making a pouty face, they're slowly rev... / Continue →

The Warner Bros. intern staff is at it again, providing mildly entertaining but ultimately useless web content to keep us excited about a movie that's eight months away. Eight new Dark Knight websites have shown up online over the weekend, giving fans the chance to waste hours ... / Continue →

I'm not sure if this is meant to look more like a Highlander sequel, a time-traveling version of The Punisher, or the muddled, last-minute Halloween costume, "Elvira Zorro," but I do like that they've lit it with a single spotlight, letting us know up front that this will have... / Continue →
