Columbia and MGM have decided to move Quantum of Solace back a week to November 14th, leaving the previous weekend open to party, party, party: "We saw the film recently in London and Marc Forster, Daniel Craig and the entire team at EON have truly delivered another extraordin... / Continue →

The Dark Knight was, appropriately, a fairly dark movie. The Dark Knight also made like a million dollars. Since Warner Bros. can put two and two together, they've decided all superhero movies should be dark from now on, and plan to test their theory by doing a dark, Hulk-style... / Continue →

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Nicolas Cage, Aaaron Johnson, and Lyndsy Fonseca have joined McLovin in the cast of Kick-Ass: Written by Millar and drawn by John Romita Jr., the Marvel Comics' Icon imprint book centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who d... / Continue →

Twitch Film has the first look at Zac Efron not in a school's musical production, starring in Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles. I've been skeptical of Efron's part because he has an aging-sprite-like quality I find jarring, but maybe the casting will end up somehow getti... / Continue →

I thought the long, shimmering, blonde hair was stupid at first, but I could see how it might add another layer. "He's been here: Janet is dead and my bottle of Suave is nearly empty." 'Friday the 13th' Image Revisits Jason Voorhees! [Bloody Disgusting]... / Continue →

When a series is daring enough to document the lives of those who are both fast and furious, then amp it up to too (2) fast/(2) furious, take it to Tokyo, then make it conceptual by presenting "fast" and "furious" as non-specific ideas, changing characters and cars throughout t... / Continue →

That guy from Armageddon is going to be in Mike Judge's latest film, Extract. From the cyber version of the Variety periodical: [Ben Affleck] is in negotiations to play the best buddy of Jason Batemen's character, a flower extract factory owner dealing with workplace problems ... / Continue →

Here's one for the ladies (over 40, who are lonely), or for anyone who likes laughing at menopause porn highlight reels composed entirely of melodrama moneyshots. "I made that to keep special things safe." "What keeps you safe?" God, Diane Lane, just let Richard Gere take care ... / Continue →

Here's the trailer to Frost/Nixon, Ron Howard's adaptation of Peter Morgan's play about the battle between the former president and a British talk show host. I recommend it solely because it includes the line, "I will ruin you if it takes the rest of my life," just as I recomme... / Continue →

Mark Wahlberg: forever blurring the line between "pensive stare" and "hey, I think that's a quarter." One more looking-down-to-simulate-emotion poster under the cut.... / Continue →

It's a sad truth, but Fly Me to the Moon will be gone from theaters before you know it, leaving behind only its clear but confusing closing message from Buzz Aldrin, where the astronaut explains that anthropomorphic flies did not, in fact, assist in the first moon landing. Then... / Continue →

I've decided I'm not comfortable with this melding of Bush and Goonies. I hear the voice of Bush but the face is obviously Brolin, resulting in a union as unsettling as when Dana Barrett speaks in the voice of Zuul, and in French Spanish*, or when babies have adult voices. *Ye... / Continue →

Warner Brothers President Alan Horn has issued an official statement in response to the backlash over the moving of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from November to July. Apparently we were all way off, and the decision was not made because of money. It's more about rati... / Continue →

No need to blatantly state the title on the poster. That fiery typeface and throbbing temple vein are all we need to know this man definitely moves goods and/or people from one location to another. Transporter 3 Poster [Trailer Addict]... / Continue →

I respect that this movie is able to meet every imaginable base desire--like the desire to see the bizarre sexual fetishes of another culture alongside unheard of amounts of graphic violence--while also providing strong positive female role models--like crazy-acid-spraying-nipp... / Continue →

I expected the Juno simulation, the mentions of Brangelina, pregnant Spears and George Clooney, the nod to home abortion, and the random violence as phantom humor, but man, eBay? An eBay reference? Did they forget to squeeze that into Spy Hard and just now realize it? Well, if ... / Continue →

Well, guys, it's been a long year, but we made it. Here it is: the most hilarious comedy of the year. And that isn't just a quote from some nobody reviewer in Boise, or Larry King. That's fact. Or possibly a gross exaggeration. Either way, nice to see some of the overlooked Gho... / Continue →

I just saw this new poster for Oliver Stone's W over at FirstShowing, and I couldn't help but notice a startling resemblance to a certain other obliviously-self-confident, stupid boot-clad, reclining idiot-leader. It got me thinking...... / Continue →

Weekend box office results! 1. Tropic Thunder - $25.8 million, finally answering the question of if [the actor who played] Iron Man could beat [the movie] Batman in a fight [between their movies, one of which came out a month prior]. 2. The Dark Knight - Oh, how the mighty ha... / Continue →

Remember the night you first saw what what would become the defining baseball-themed romantic-comedy of your lifetime, Fever Pitch, and how as the house lights rose, illuminating a packed audience of satisfied smiles, you couldn't help thinking how you would do anything to see ... / Continue →

With all that buzzing and stinging and honey-making and seemingly-impossible flying and caste-based societying, you just knew something fishy was going on in those hives. Let's see what you've been hiding, bees...... / Continue →

Whoop, sorry for the late start. As sent in by many people last night and this morning, a federal judge has denied Warner Brothers' motion to dismiss Fox's lawsuit regarding the rights to distribute Watchmen, meaning the anticipated release could be delayed, completely ruining ... / Continue →

Another day, another chance for Hollywood to hastily scrape the lining of the 1980s' uterus, hoping something they can rake out will resemble a movie if they project some light through it. This time: Voltron. Fox-based New Regency has put robot project "Voltron: Defender of th... / Continue →

A new preview of David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ran during the Olympics last night. Fortunately for those who missed it, someone happened to be recording their television with a digital camera at the time (which people do, apparently), so here's it is. As a... / Continue →

Here's the new effin' & jeffin'-filled trailer to Righteous Kill, a film only notable for the presence of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, two actors once considered impressive to watch. I like how you can tell both of them have completely abandoned the idea of taking direction. J... / Continue →

But you know what the best thing is? The Hanging Gardens of PURE LASER. Old trailer here, if you missed the Vin Diesel poncho action. Vin Diesel's 'Babylon A.D.' Poster [Ropes of Silicon]... / Continue →

Some time ago, it was announced that Paul W.S. Anderson would be directing an adaptation of the 1983 arcade game Spy Hunter. This was a bad idea for two main reasons: 1) Paul W.S. Anderson directed Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil. After Uwe Boll, he's the guy most-likely respon... / Continue →

On his official MySpace page, Simon Pegg has announced he'll no longer be appearing in Inglorious Bastards, instead choosing to work on Paul with Superbad director Greg Mottola: Much to our mutual disappointment, I won't be appearing in QT's forthcoming Inglorious Bastards due... / Continue →

Sex sells, so it's no surprise that, like Superhero Movie before it, Disaster Movie attempts to bring in viewers unaware of ways of procuring actual pornography (i.e., the internet) by promising a brief, cleavage-filled wrestling match. But what makes this clip astounding is ho... / Continue →
