Rick(y) Shroder is signed to direct the Sci Fi Channel Original Movie Hellhounds. Wait, that isn't real news. That's a Sci Fi Channel Original Movie directed by Silver Spoons, which makes it anti-news. Whups, sorry: The movie, set in 500 B.C., stars Scott Elrod ("Men in Trees"... / Continue →

Aaron Sorkin has managed to create a story even more ludicrous than a fake story about him announcing an animated continuation of The West Wing, and he's somehow done it within a week. Ready for the unrealistically-clever dialogue-filled story of Facebook? From Variety: Aaron ... / Continue →

Loosely enough that, in Brazil, Superheroes: The Injustice League is equally if not more applicable as a title. Isn't that infuriating? Why not just go with the even more fitting title of Recently Popular People and Things? Also noteworthy: Amy Winehouse is far less prominent ... / Continue →

It's looking like a pretty slow news day, so let me pass on something I just found (via Pop Candy) that's been out on DVD since January but is amazing. Drakmar: A Vassal's Journey is an incredibly low-budget documentary following 14-year-old Colin Taylor, a teen who deals with ... / Continue →

As a follow-up to the Chilean The Office promo that was so uncomfortable to watch, here are some clips from the German version (as discovered by AICN), which is now being made into a movie. For some reason I had the impression Germany had some kind of ban on joking about the wh... / Continue →

Prominent neurotic Woody Allen has written a fake production diary in support of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and it's just as absurd and self-deprecating as you'd think it would be: JUNE 20 Barcelona is a marvelous city. Crowds turn out in the streets to watch us work. Merciful... / Continue →

A month or so ago, The Brothers Bloom trailer charmed me with its Dirty Rotten Scoundrels/Shooting Fish caper by way of Wes Anderson feel, because I'm a sucker for that kind of crap. Somehow I forgot to post it then, so here it is now, aged but still worth spending two minutes ... / Continue →

God, gas prices, am I right? Sometimes it's like you've got to get Vin Diesel and his crew, drive out to the Dominican Republic, and find some highly improbable way to steal a fully loaded gasoline land train, assuming such a thing exists. Right? I hope Vin later tackles how a... / Continue →
