I couldn't figure out why this poster for Marley & Me made me care more about this movie than anything else on Earth. Then I remembered Maslow's hierarchy of needs: Ohhh, yeah. I always forget that puppies and anger-inducing puns are on there. That explains why I'm more conc... / Continue →

Illustrator Brian Murray has posted a series of Green Lantern images he made as a pitch package with writer/director Greg Berlanti, which eventually won them the project. Murray didn't include any of the written portion of the pitch, but fortunately for you, I did some digging ... / Continue →

Here's the Japanese trailer for my new favorite piece of meno-porn (menopause porn, obviously), Nights in Rodanthe. Do you think Japanese subtitles and more hilariously melodramatic exposition are gonna stop Richard Gere from loving Diane Lane, or stop her from saving his heart... / Continue →

Ghostbusters, the film voted most-present in my nascent life by my VCR, had been haunted (wink!) by whispers of a second sequel for years, with rumored storylines ranging from a passing of the mantle story to a fully-CGI trip to the depths of Hell. But now, for the first time, ... / Continue →

Tom Cruise is rumored to be up for the villainous lead in Shr4k 4. See guys? You all thought Tom Cruise was a crazy, high-ranking member of a powerful cult capable of poisoning Katie Holmes both mentally and physically, but you sure were wrong. He's just a fun guy, who likes fu... / Continue →

Speaking with MTV, Nicolas Cage revealed that, in complete disregarding the common good, a second Ghost Rider movie will most likely happen, and that "there have been talks and good ones with where to go with the character." Oh, like discussing going in a more gritty, realistic... / Continue →

Oh, man. Bill Melendez, the animator responsible for turning the world of Peanuts into a living, breathing thing I continue to watch on every applicable holiday, died Tuesday at the age of 91. From THR: Melendez, the only animator permitted by Charles M. Schulz to work with th... / Continue →

Bob Brush, a writer and producer on The Wonder Years, has a new idea for a show: The Wonder Years... but in the '80s, and with a title that implies it's a VH1 talking heads show. From THR: NBC is getting "Lost in the '80s." The network has handed a director-contingent pilot o... / Continue →

Transformers 2 has teamed up with Walmart (which makes sense, because both Walmart and Transformers are capable of destroying small businesses) to present a series of shorts documenting the film's shooting. Here's day one, which includes explosions and Michael Bay saying, "It's... / Continue →

If you look at the box office numbers, it's mathematically impossible that you haven't seen The Dark Knight. And if you really haven't somehow, honestly, what are you doing? Thus, I'm unapologetic about posting this spoiler from an interview with Aaron Eckhart: CS/SHH!: Is Har... / Continue →

Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man elected to a public office in the U.S. (though some of the Founding Fathers seemed a bit iffy at times). He was then murdered by a fellow city supervisor who hated Harvey Milk being the first openly gay man elected to a public office in ... / Continue →

Despite fanboy pleas that "fox sux and watchmen kicks ass and i want to see it, fox is stupid," Warner Brothers' Watchmen adaptation is still in danger of delay, if not worse, over a rights dispute with Fox. But the studio battle for the property took a slight step forward yest... / Continue →

Stephen Sommers, best known for making stupid movies about Brendan Fraser fighting mummies (and occasionally Hugh Jackman fighting vampires), is currently destroying your childhood nostalgia as he tops off his live-action G.I. Joe with a zesty sadness vinaigrette. But what's he... / Continue →

Speaking as someone who can barely tolerate the Kevin Smith catalog, I hate to admit it, but judging by this trailer, Zack and Miri Make a Porno looks pretty palatable, and possibly even funny. In fact, with the heavily Apatowian cast and joke-stylings, I'd barely be able to id... / Continue →

Have we really reached a point where just knowing a kid or two will be underground at some point is enough of a sell for any children's fantasy film? Bill Murray is in this! You'd think they'd at least sell that up a little bit. "Co-starring your favorite sarcastic feline, Garf... / Continue →

Don't look for this one in the theaters, American Colonists. It was deemed too HOT for U.S. audiences, and was banned by the MPAA. I think it's because it implies Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks are giving each other oral sex while standing and fully clothed. What are your theor... / Continue →

Some screen captures from the fumbled attempt at bringing Dragonball to screens have turned up on internet. In case you couldn't tell, this pale, velvet swathed fellow is meant to be the main villain, Piccolo, who traditionally looks like this. Yikes. Just remember, The Dark K... / Continue →

Thanks to Greg for sending me these shots from the Prince of Persia set. It's so fitting that Jake Gyllenhaal will be making his transition to disrespected, bewigged action star in the same type of desert setting all-too-familiar to Brendan Fraser. When Jake gives his third del... / Continue →

Here's your weekend box office report. Congratulations, society, for not seeing Disaster Movie that much. 1. Tropic Thunder - With Ben Stiller's comedy topping the box office for the third week in a row, I'm almost starting to think of the guy as more than just The Heartbreak ... / Continue →

Ever wonder who makes all those movie posters where actors' faces float like the night's precious fireflies shaped like Morgan Freeman's head? It's all the work of Mr. Gavin Berliner, and here's a short documentary about just how he does it, and how Hollywood's decision not to ... / Continue →
