If Terry Gilliam's 2000 attempt at filming a Don Quixote movie were a dog, you would have just put it to sleep. Production was riddled with problems--tight budget constraints, constant jets overhead, Biblically disastrous weather, and an actor with a double-herniated disc tryin... / Continue →

Remember Sorority Row, the movie where some girls play a prank on a guy, pretending he manslaughtered their sorority sister, he sensibly stabs the pseudo-corpse with a tire iron to chop up the body, she then actually dies, and then the movie becomes I Seriously Still Know What ... / Continue →

I hope no one here was planning on making old Star Trek look like new Star Trek, because someone has put up a YouTube video called "i made old star trek look like new star trek," and they've pretty successfully done just that. The secret? Lens flares:... / Continue →

Illustrator Jon Klassen did some visual development for Coraline, and now, to the joy of preliminary art lovers everywhere, he's started posting some of the work he did on his site. It's all the joy of reading one of those fancy "The Art of [Movie Title]" books, but without the... / Continue →

Hey, there's this now: a trailer for Nine. No, not numeral 9, the animated, post-apocalyptic ragdoll film that looks so promising--this is spelled-out Nine, a new film by Chicago director Rob Marshall that, to the untrained eye, looks basically like Chicago with mostly better a... / Continue →

Sure, you may have seen literally hundreds of by-the-books adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but have you seen one where sophisticated computer animation is pointlessly used to make the characters and environment look utterly realistic save for some slightly ex... / Continue →

I don't want to turn this into a fan art blog--I already have too many fan art blogs--but I thought this Where the Wild Things Are illustration by Emily Eibel needed to be shared, because it's really good, and I think there's a related movie or something coming out. Yeah? More... / Continue →

I swear, it seems like just yesterday Tyler Perry-in-elderly-drag was getting hauled off to jail. But somehow Madea has already managed to get itself in trouble with the law again, and there's a new movie coming out in September: I Can Do Bad All By Myself. Once you have the wi... / Continue →

When you pay extra for an IMAX screen, you expect it to be ludicrously large--so vast that a six-foot man standing in the way of the screen would go nearly unnoticed--right? Well, I expect that. And so did comedian Aziz Anzari (Human Giant, Parks and Recreation), but when he we... / Continue →

The 2009 MTV Movie Awards are nearly upon on, and you know what that means: the Best Kiss of 2008 will be named! At last, sweet resolution for my Kiss Notebook. Also, if you can tolerate host Andy Samberg, it means some fairly entertaining promotional comedy sketches. Here are ... / Continue →

At first, watching this trailer for Blood: The Last Vampire, I thought it was just a Japanese schoolgirl version of Blade. She's half-vampire, samurai sword-wielding, and fighting other vampires: that's a classic Blade. But then I saw she burst through a few walls and I realize... / Continue →

I don't understand why anyone does anything. Below the cut, Ian McKellen's famous Extras appearance, again synced with footage from Bambi 2 but, strangely, done by a different person who also shares an interest in combining the straight-to-video Disney sequel with the Ricky Ge... / Continue →

If you haven't seen the Star Trek, look away, because here's a spoiler: William Shatner is not in it. While Leonard Nimoy was given the privilege of donning his prosthetic ears one last time, Shatner was conspicuously absent from the film's symbolic passing of the tricorder. Bu... / Continue →

In the tradition of King Kong vs. Godzilla, Boa vs. Python, and every other time low budget effects have been used to make two giant beasts fight each other: it's Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, starring Renegade and Deborah Gibson. You thought the skies were safe from massive s... / Continue →

Over the past 20 years of faithful American Gladiators viewing (besides the one year it was off the air, obviously), did you ever get the sense there was something... missing? That, somehow, there was more at its heart than the story of a 35-year-old firefighter from Grand Rapi... / Continue →

Remember all that controversy when Warner Bros. reportedly wanted drastic reshoots on Where the Wild Things Are, citing the fact that kids were scared shitless of the aforementioned Wild Things? Well, director Spike Jonze shouldn't have been surprised, because as you'll see in ... / Continue →

Thanks to a partnership between Pizza Hut and Warner Bros. (as a "Hut" rep explained: "Pizza Hut's iconic red Hut may not be as intimidating as the Terminator's red eye, but pizza and movies are time-tested favorites"), the Book-It sponsor has just released a new clip with behi... / Continue →

Disney's The Princess and the Frog brings forth two important landmarks for the studio: the return of theatrically-released 2-D animation and the first time ever a Disney Princess will fight the above horrific fusion of Waluigi and Bubbles from The Wire, which is going to mean ... / Continue →

I remember reading somewhere that, prior to shooting Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan showed some of his crew Blade Runner to show them the look and feel he hoped to infuse into his superhero franchise. Similarly, judging by these Prince of Persia clips, I'm guessing that tort... / Continue →

Seeing that Michael Bay has been too wrapped up with Transformers movies to offer his take on the '80s toy line's equine-based female equivalent, My Little Pony, some people with access to horses decided to make their own, low budget version of what Bay's MLP adaptation might l... / Continue →

Is that the idea here? Myers murdered a girl on the side of the road, then he goes back the next day to murder her again, except she's not there, so he knocks on her door and there's this old lady who says, "That sounds like my daughter--EXCEPT SHE DIED 20 YEARS AGO LAST NIGHT,... / Continue →
