I'm finding it really hard to look at this for too long, but, through my squinted grimace, here are my top five favorite things about it. 1. The reflection in Toby's glasses. Did no one realize what the reflected image of a bound and gagged woman opposite a group of rowdy hill... / Continue →

Knowing that I'm a huge fan of vampires-with-Superman's-powers-based teen melodramas that have painfully obvious wirework, Kelly has sent over the second teaser trailer to Twilight. This latest preview has somehow managed to one-up itself in terms of looking like a rejected WB ... / Continue →

Whenever I curl up with a warm, soothing cup of milk & rum and begin to make my way through a well-worn copy of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox (every Saturday), I will invariably put on an equally well-worn record of Pulp's Different Class. There's just something about working ... / Continue →

Also from that EW ComicCon preview, here's Christian Bale shooting a Terminator in his stupid terminating head. P.S.: I'm staying with friends in California right now, and my battery is about to die (my computer battery; I'm not a cyborg). They don't seem to believe in three-p... / Continue →

As part of a Comic-Con preview, Entertainment Weekly has a look at the set of four Star Trek posters being handed out at the San Diego convention. Con attendees will each only get one of the posters apiece, meaning fans will be forced to literally murder each other if they hope... / Continue →

Whether the Watchmen trailer was hated or loved, nothing will stop the time-honored geek tradition of meticulously comparing the nerdy adaptation with its original, nerdy source, noting where any and all deviations took place and if these alterations were necessary and/or spoil... / Continue →

I was just reading this interview with Alan Moore--in which he re-affirms his feelings that he hates Hollywood, hates DC, and thinks Watchmen shouldn't be made into a film, particularly by someone who made such a "racist," "homophobic," and "sublimely stupid" film as 300--and i... / Continue →

I'm not one to let national boundaries keep me from movies about girls learning they can be smart, sexy, and obnoxiously kooky, so here's the international trailer for The House Bunny, the high-concept comedy in which Anna Faris plays a Cameron Diaz-like Playboy bunny who has t... / Continue →

Variety is reporting that John Woo has plans to direct an adaptation of Radical Comics' Caliber. What is Caliber, you ask? It's a comic that takes Arthurian legend and places it in the setting of the Wild West. And how have they done that? By replacing Excalibur with the stupid... / Continue →

I know I've said it before, but god, lens flares... so hot right now. X-Files: I Want to Believe UK Poster [STYD]... / Continue →

Here's the trailer to Body of Lies, a Ridley Scott political thriller starring Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio. In other words, the narration might as well say, "to be nominated for at least six Academy Awards for sure, even though Crowe is sort of playing this like a drama... / Continue →

Just the other day I sitting around with some friends, laughing about how lazy, savage, etc. minorities are--and, of course, discussing how awesome Dark Knight will be--when I suddenly realized, "Guys, why aren't there any movies about us, racists, that also make an exploitativ... / Continue →

First Showing has revealed a new poster for Quantum of Solace. Really, why are they trying so hard to make it look like this Bond takes place on the surface of an alien planet? I mean, a Moon Patrol movie should definitely happen, but if this isn't it, let's not tease.... / Continue →

Last week, rumor was that Brad Pitt would be taking a lead role in Quentin Tarantino's latest, Inglorious Bastards. Now, another A-list name can be added to the hypothetical list you're keeping: Growing Pains star Leonardo DiCaprio! From Variety: After the director met Brad Pi... / Continue →

Here's the first teaser trailer to Terminator: Savlation. It's officially contraband, so hurry before the Terminator lawyers remove it. Otherwise, you may have to wait a few more days before seeing shaky video of a boot crushing a skull underfoot--something I didn't even realiz... / Continue →

Seeing as how "destruction of any and all pleasant nostalgia" has become a veritable genre in recent years, I've made up a generic template to make it easier for me to post the most recent studio attempts at recreating our childhoods with CGI and sadness. Here's the latest: He... / Continue →

There are few movies in which the knowledge that I'll probably have to endure hearing stoned dudes imitate a high-pitched "who is it?" for a few months can't detract from my enthusiasm. These new TV spots for Pineapple Express have cemented it firmly among those narrow ranks. S... / Continue →

Man, I was totally wrong to prematurely label The Clone Wars as just another disappointing extension of the Star Wars universe meant to sell new, stylized toys, video games, and ad time when the television version arrives. Look at this classic, Struzan-inspired poster! It remin... / Continue →

It seems like only yesterday (it was Friday) I first became aware of the epic, ongoing struggle between Viking, crash-landed space pilot, and alien beast with glowing eyes when I saw the trailer for Outlander. Now, days later, there's already a second preview for this timeless ... / Continue →

Hmm. It's a pretty slow news day, and I have to leave shortly to catch a screening of the movie where animated flies save the first moon mission (I'm more excited than you'd think). I need a good crazy rumor to go out on. Maybe some kind of casting for a superhero film that has... / Continue →

It's based on the incredible true story! Of how the guy who played Eddie Munster stalked a duchess (I assume)! The Duchess One-Sheet [Coming Soon]... / Continue →

With all the various overlaid angles and mustaches, I keep thinking this is from a '70s band's television appearance. Except instead of music, this is a concert of intensity, all songs written and performed by S. LaBeouf. Eagle Eye poster [Jo Blo]... / Continue →

It looks like it's of questionable origins, so hurry up and watch this trailer to The Spirit before it's replaced by a take-down notice. My first thought was, "This is like if Frank Miller directed the intro to The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." My next thought was, "Why was your... / Continue →

I won't pretend to understand the prolonged relevance of not one but several of Disney Channel's saccharine programs, but it's somehow reality, and here's more evidence of that: the trailer for High School Musical 3, which for some reason will be in theaters instead of basic ca... / Continue →

L.D. is officially bringing back Curb Your Enthusiasm for a seventh season on HBO! Another year of laughs that will also fuel my crippling neuroses! In celebration, enjoy a season 5 highlight under the cut. I mean, assuming you're in an environment where you can listen to a min... / Continue →

Dreamworks has released the trailer to Ghost Town, starring Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, and Tea Leoni. It looks something like if The Sixth Sense was a broad, moralistic comedy, or like a non-Christmas Carol-based Scrooged. Gervais looks typically entertaining as another varia... / Continue →

Weekend box office numbers! 1. Hellboy II: The Golden Army - $35.9 million, beating the first film's opening by over 12 million despite not using any of my brilliant advertising strategies. 2. Hancock - $33 million, but it could have been so much more if only "Big Willy" had ... / Continue →

After months of speculation on the fate of Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, Warner Brothers' Alan Horn has come forward to speak about the reportedly doomed project. Speaking to the LA Times, Horn clarified that Jonze has not been taken off the project, adding that Warn... / Continue →
