At a news conference yesterday, Robert Rodriguez confirmed rumors he's going to relaunch the Predator series, but judging by the film's new title, sounds like there's going to be a slight change: Director Robert Rodriguez has taken on the 20th Century Fox PREDATOR franchise an... / Continue →

A friend sent me this over an hour ago and I've only now been able to stop playing with it long enough to post. At TrekYourself, you can upload any head-on photo and make it into a creepy, monotone, CGI Star Trek character! As you probably can tell from my handiwork above (a ch... / Continue →

Oh, thank heaven for 7-11--mostly for making my new favorite X-Men Origins: Wolverine tie-in yet. Look how X-treme this highly-sweetened cappuccino is! It's probably the most X-treme "French vanilla energy boost" on the market. Way more X-treme than Candy Cane Cocoa, that's for... / Continue →

I admire that, while they could have made Bradley Cooper the handsome leading man counterpoint to Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis (to bring in those ladies), they decided, no, let's make all three of them look like they live under an overpass. With a baby. Kudos. (Also, for any ... / Continue →

When a runaway train filled with toxic chemicals is on the loose, and another train with a rookie conductor is sent to chase it down, there's only one expert engineer who can board that second train, wrestle the controls away from the novice, and catch the original, toxic chemi... / Continue →

Home Alone for adults has its star. James Marsden has been cast as the lead in Rod Lurie's remake of the 1971 Dustin Hoffman classic Straw Dogs: James Marsden will star in Screen Gems' reimagining of the 1971 thriller "Straw Dogs" being written and directed by Rod Lurie. The ... / Continue →

So, you're a Wolverine fan. You've been ordering a Papa John's X-Men Origins X-treme Cheese Pizza every night in celebration of the new movie coming out, but there's still... an emptiness--which is strange, because your stomach is stuffed well over capacity with nearly a pound ... / Continue →

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland just got posher. Yesterday, Stephen Fry "did a Twitter," as they say, revealing he's lending his voice to the Chesire Cat in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland: Playing Cheshire Cat. Smug, complacent, cheese-eating grin - moi? Walking off to stud... / Continue →

30 Days of Night director David Slade has done Alaskan vampires, but can he handle the magic of value-promoting vampires that 12-year-old girls buy posters of? Let's all find that out together when he directs the third Twilight movie: The "30 Days of Night" director will take ... / Continue →

If Paul Thomas Anderson directed a Wes Anderson script, the seven minute opening to Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom would inevitably be the result. The Ricky Jay narration and frequent, dramatic camera push-ins of PTA have merged with the precocious, costumed children and slo... / Continue →

Haven't you wondered how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got their start as mutated, nearly adult trained killers? What could have possibly happened? Oh, right, the ooze and training. I guess that was covered in the movie, the cartoon's intro, the arcade game's intro, and the ... / Continue →

From The Onion Radio News: Funny, but also raises a good question: will the pieces be characters in the Monopoly movie? It would be ridiculous, but no more ridiculous than a Monopoly movie already is, and a tuxedo-wearing Ian Holm complaining about medical bills is probably ... / Continue →

Empire has posted the first look at Hit Girl, the child assassin in Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of the Kick-Ass. I still haven't read the comic, but according to my research (looking at this image), this is not an entirely accurate reproduction of the character. In drawn form, ... / Continue →

Green Porno, still my favorite series to feature Isabella Rossellini using the resources of an elementary school play to reenact the sex lives of animals, has a season 2, and it's available to watch NOW. This round of shorts takes a look at marine life, with the costumed Italia... / Continue →

The plan to advertise Wolverine by attaching the superhero to a massive, cheese-smothered pizza isn't doing so well in promoting the film (though I assume it's doing great in promoting artery clogging), so Fox has released one last trailer to give the film a final push before i... / Continue →

USA Today has posted the first shot of The Wolf Pack, a group of four shirtless Native American guys with airbrushed abs, from The Twilight Saga: New Moon. I wonder if the fake woods backdrop is an indication of how the production values have gone up with the larger budget for ... / Continue →

Here's a horrible way to start the day: with the trailer for a film that tells the depressing true story of a woman being stoned in Iran. You've probably heard similarly gruesome stories on the news, but it's almost more real when the tale is being told to Jim Caviezel in a pro... / Continue →

Are you familiar with the video mash-ups people do? The mixing the audios and the videos of a couple things into something else? OK, good. This one is The Muppets vs. Oceans 11, giving us: Henson's 11.... / Continue →

OK, so let's say you see there's a trailer for a new Maria Bello movie, and all you know about this thing is that it's title is Downloading Nancy. Logically, wouldn't you expect the film to contain some variation of the above scene to happen? It only makes sense, right? Well, ... / Continue →

If you know anything about Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon, you know there is always another Da Vinci for him to decode or another Illuminati to stop, so, no surprise, Columbia Pictures is all prepared to capture his next Church-denounced adventure on film: While Columbia Pictures... / Continue →

Saccharine romance gets a sort-of-documentary twist, and I think I like it. Here's the trailer for Paper Heart, a film that follows Charlyne Yi on her quest to learn about love (largely from the Judd Apatow crowd), and her real-but-also-fictionalized romance with Michael Cera. ... / Continue →

In the interest of bringing forward every athletic, self-aware animal film that comes to my attention, here's the trailer for Tommy and the Cool Mule, starring Kevin Sorbo as the clichéd heavy-who-wants-to-buy-the-family-house-to-build-a-golf-course and Ice-T as Jackie A., the ... / Continue →

Can we just figure out who is fighting who and be done with it already? The Fighter, a boxing script once attached to Darren Aronofsky with plans for Matt Damon, and then Brad Pitt, to star alongside Mark Wahlberg, is changing hands once again. Now Relativity Media is in negoti... / Continue →

Many hard-earned money rectangles were spent this weekend, many of them going towards seeing these five films: 1. 17 Again - A respectable $24.1 million, proving Zac Efron can do more than play a singing, dancing high school basketball player. He can also play a high school ba... / Continue →

After years of senseless delays, MTV's much-revered cult sketch comedy show The State is finally coming to DVD, friends. TV Shows on DVD is reporting the set will include every episode, the pilot, unaired sketches, commentary, and more. It's about time. I haven't seen the seri... / Continue →

Want to see some stylized, post-apocalyptic ragdolls fight an epic battle against a fabric-cocooned monster with a baby doll-terminator face? Sure you do. Otherwise, why are you here? And who are you, anyway? Don't worry about it right now. Just watch:... / Continue →

Michael Bay heard you, critics. You wanted more character drama mixed into the explosions? Well, here's a scene from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen where Shia LaBeouf has to explain that he's decided to go to college instead of sticking around town and hanging out with his... / Continue →

Oh, good, he has the exact haircut and beard of Gladiator Man. Now I can watch the two films back to back and pretend it's all one long, nonsensical narrative. Dreams are coming true. First look: New Robin Hood on point with 'Gladiator' [USA Today]... / Continue →
