This trailer for Batman: Gotham Knight doesn't contain anywhere near the number of giant Bat-mechs, oversized comic teardrops, or busty catgirl Robins I would have hoped for in a Batman-as-anime scenario. At least they remembered to give the superhero the malicious, horrid grin... / Continue →

Why is this being made again? I mean, seriously. I know I've asked the same thing when I heard news of Shrek VI and 4 Fast 4 Furious and other ludicrous and largely-undesirable movies, but that was just me expressing my impotent rage--like how I'll scream "Why, God, WHY?!" when... / Continue →

This is the version of Cerberus that guards the gates of Comedy Heaven. To get through you have to resist laughing, which is clearly impossible after seeing those wacky expressions, so it's likely no one will ever reach Comedy Heaven. Tropic Thunder Poster [IMPA]... / Continue →

Even as someone who cares absolutely nothing about Dragonball, I'm pretty astounded by how far this movie is deviating from the source material, when I'm pretty sure only the most devoted fans who will even bother with this. Did they have Chow Yun-Fat make the costume himself o... / Continue →

From the trailer, it was already clear Space Chimps was going to be a wonderfully charming animated family comedy about chimps in space, and probably even have some strong sequel potential. But now, thanks to this poster, it's looking even better! No, I'm not talking about the ... / Continue →

Eagle Eye, Shia LaBeouf's newest attempt at making the name Even Stevens synonymous with action, has a new teaser trailer online at the official site. It's already drawing criticism for its ridiculous phone-call-guides-you-exactly-where-and-when-to-move similarities to The Matr... / Continue →

Mike Myers and Ben Stiller may have been temporarily distracted promoting the shit out of their respective zany new comedies on American Idol last night, but Jay Roach wants to remind us all that we aren't out of the woods as far as Austin Powers/Meet the Focker sequels are con... / Continue →

Disabilities. To many of us they're just something one of the characters on PBS cartoons always has, but to others they're a part of daily life. And to other still, they're something you pay a doctor to give you by sawing off your legs so you too can enjoy the luxuries of drivi... / Continue →

- The "happening" is when a novice graphic designer happens upon a fun new Photoshop filter that makes stuff look "all wavy and shit." - We're traveling through a time warp to the year 2000, back to when news of an M. Night Shyamalan film caused more than a shrug. - Someone f... / Continue →

First came the posters, covered with cryptic images, like leaves, which were covered in even crypticer images, like triangles. Now Fringe has a full preview, revealing more clues to the unfulfilling mysteries that await those who watch Fox. Below the cut, see the trailer to J.J... / Continue →

One of the best qualities of indie movies is that they're able to examine the questions Hollywood blockbusters are afraid to address. Questions like, "What would it look like if a shoe salesman inexplicably lit his hand on fire?" and, "How do you represent the anus-to-anus exch... / Continue →

If your thumbs still wear the callused battle scars of the 16-bit revolution (god knows mine do), you surely remember the Earthworm Jim series. Notable for it's creative design (Professor Monkey-For-A-Head!), fluid gameplay (until the third one, at least), and the ability to wr... / Continue →

Part of the series "My collection of vintage '80s screwball comedy posters that were ruined by Frank Miller." Choke Poster [IMPA]... / Continue →

After Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, Dead or Alive, Doom, Double Dragon, Hitman, House of the Dead, Dungeon Siege, Super Mario Bros., Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Tomb Raider, and Wing Commander, you'd think it would be getting pretty hard to find respectable a... / Continue →

The new The Stangers poster: giving you something to gesture at when you tell the ticket vendor, "I want to see that one with the bleeding, traumatized woman." New Strangers poster! [JoBlo]... / Continue →

As much as I try to keep abreast of developments from big-name directors, sometimes, despite my best efforts, things slip between the cracks. I missed that Frank Darabont will be directing Law Abiding Citizen with Gerard Butler in the lead; that Spielberg plans to return attent... / Continue →

1. A few weeks ago, the rumor was that Jonah Hill was in talks for Transformers 2, likely playing LaBeouf's college roommate. Speaking to MTV, Hill has since confirmed the rumor, but says he decided to turn down the chance to co-star with CGI robot cars: I just think like I ha... / Continue →

At the New York Comic Con panel, when Guillermo Del Toro announced he'd be posting concept designs of a three-headed dog that had been cut from the film, I had foolishly pictured the animal as a traditional Cerberus--something with three distinct heads emerging from a single bo... / Continue →

Set in northern Australia just prior to World War II, Baz Luhrmann's Australia (starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman)--like his prior work on Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!--looks like a visually rich, masterfully composed piece of cinematic artistry. Seldom is a trailer c... / Continue →

Words I might use to describe Hellboy II's Angel of Death if I were writing its personal ad: - Fun - Playful - Smart - Great personality Words I would avoid: - Large, boney, eyeless plate for a head; giant black wings covered in glassy eyes; generally repulsive appearance... / Continue →

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull may not come out until Thursday, but renowned trilogy-diluter George Lucas already has already mentioned plans to see if he can stretch the straining whip of Indiana Jones just a little bit further. If you're like me, you heard... / Continue →

I suspect this scene is part of an after-the-credits recreation of those public service announcements that used to follow G.I. Joe cartoons. This one is probably about how Hummers and other large SUVs waste gas, and how you should tell your parents not to drive them lest Snake ... / Continue →

With the recognition of Talk-Like-a-Pirate Day, the existence of ironic pirate tattoos and apparel, and pirate references often being confused with humor, I rank pirates alongside ninjas and robots as something that's fun in moderation (and Lego sets) but really obnoxious as a ... / Continue →

1. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - "And it shall make $56.6 million" - Matthew 4:17 2. Iron Man - With a third weekend of $31.2 million, it seems like everyone has gone to seen this thing. So I'm going to go ahead and give away the ending: Arnold Schwarzenegger wins... / Continue →
