I knew 30-year-old teenage guy should have stabbed Jason more times with the machete. Jason survived! And he's going to return for more murder in Friday the 13th: Part 2, which won't be a remake of the original Part 2 because the remake of Part 1 already compressed bits from se... / Continue →

After the Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 trailer, I stressed that the classic good guy and criminal mad-man in a battle of wits and acting doesn't work for me if I'm J. Travolta is involved. I just don't buy it. Well, I'd now like to amend that statement, adding that it also doesn't ... / Continue →

Grandma's always like, "Let's watch the the 1958 musical Damn Yankees!" and you inevitably respond, "But Grandma, I'm young; I only want to watch Ace Venture: Pet Detective!" It's so hard to meet halfway with movie viewing in your Family Matters-esque grandma-present home. Unti... / Continue →

Someone has thought of a way to make the Twilight series even less appealing to the general population: add Drew Barrymore as director! Did you forget that Drew Barrymore is a director? She is. Drew Barrymore is a director, and she may be directing a Twilight, says Entertainmen... / Continue →

Marvel still reportedly won't pay Mickey Rourke enough to put on a big metal suit and fight Iron Man, but the studio has signed Samuel L. Jackson to continue his role as Nick Fury for up to nine more films, locking the actor down for single, after-the-credits scenes for years t... / Continue →

As a second item in film remakes that have the slim potential to be better than their predecessors if they adhere more closely to the source material news, Total Recall is getting remade (totally!): "Total Recall" is totally coming back. Neal H. Moritz and his Original Films ... / Continue →

You know Hollywood doesn't care about your childhood. If they had the technology, and thought it would turn a profit, they would go back in time and make you CGI strangle yourself to death in the womb. You know this, but here's more supporting evidence (thanks, Joshua): "The N... / Continue →

A friend of mine saw this recently and said he liked it, though he would have liked it more not having seen clips of the freak battles in the trailer beforehand. But on the other hand, you should really see all the freak battles in this trailer. So it's your call (look at the f... / Continue →

What? So there's a giant, spherical, orbiting, uncompleted battle station that could at first be mistaken for a moon. What of it? Death what? Look, I don't know what you're implying, but please withhold your judgment until after you've seen the climactic Photonstick battle. B... / Continue →

After close to five months of silence about Warner Brothers' plans for a Alvin and the Chipmunks-style (worst style) Yogi Bear adaptation, I was starting to get my hopes up that maybe the studio had forgotten about it, or at least that they'd switched to making my idea for a re... / Continue →

"That's Ann, from Arrested Development!?" you ask in disbelief before spouting out some quotes about mayonnaise and calling her "Egg". "Yes, it is," I reply. "She has a role as Roxy Richter in Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but if you haven't read it, I'd be feedi... / Continue →

When it was announced Seth Rogen's portly face would be behind the mask of Green Hornet, it was definitely an odd, unexpected choice, but one tempered by the inclusion of Stephen Chow as both director and Kato. Maybe, with the aid of his comedy-action direction skills, Rogen as... / Continue →

Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, and Bong Joon-ho are some pretty talented directors, so I'm going to assume these clips from their collaboration, Tokyo!, aren't as purposefully bizarre and forgettably mundane as they seem. I'll probably be saying it's all genius once I see things on... / Continue →

Here's a new preview for Crank: High Voltage, which sees Jason Statham running around electrocuting himself to keep his cyborg heart charged while simultaneously hunting down whoever has his usual heart. Strangely, the part of the trailer I have the hardest time believing is wh... / Continue →

Go into Watchmen with prior knowledge of every scene--and not just because it's a decade-old book that anyone who cares at all about comics has read. Warner Bros. has released two more clips from the film, so now you can see Rorschach investigate things while reading from his j... / Continue →

Did you know that, in between playing vapid, designer brand-obsessed characters, Sarah Jessica Parker also works on poignant racial dramas? Or that her face is capable of shattering glass? I had a hunch about the latter. Really though, what is this? Spinning Into Butter Poste... / Continue →

No one dared go against the power of Tyler Perry's Thing this weekend, and T.P. made the most of it: 1. Tyler Perry's Mades Goes to Jail - $41.1 million. Just when I thought nothing could make the concept of prison scarier than this, Tyler Perry has to throw his cross-dressing... / Continue →

Is there a second Adam Sandler movie I want to see in my adult life? I think there might be! Funny People may be a formulaic finally-truly-living-after-nearly-dying romantic comedy, but how can you resist Adam Sander, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, and others all ac... / Continue →

If you made it to the end of the Oscars--or more likely, if you dozed off and were awakened by the credit sequence's jamming guitar--the night's reward was a three-minute movie preview sequence. For some of the films (Public Enemies, Whatever Works), it was a first look at scen... / Continue →
