Mickey Rourke, who will be playing the metal-suited villain Whiplash in Iron Man 2, recently talked to Empire about what his still-unseen costume entails: It's been really brutal, because my Iron Man suit weighs 23lb. It's sort of a half-suit, with half my skin showing, with l... / Continue →

The Blue Collar Comedy Tour: it came, it went, it rode again and again until, thankfully, it closed on a third tour-of-duty and its ostensibly lunchpail team dispersed to spread wage-working laughter individually. Jeff Foxworthy, the patient zero of redneck comedy, famously we... / Continue →

Every group of underachieving, inner-city high schoolers needs a Michelle Pfeiffer, or a Pryzbylewski, or a Steve Harvey to show them that someone cares, that rapping is like funky poetry, and that dice is like math. This fall on NBC, one such group will get theirs in Mark Tayl... / Continue →

UGO has premiered the poster for The Final Destination--not to be confused with Final Destination 1, 2, or 3, because the "the" somehow denotes it's the fourth film--and someone in the creative department has just nailed it. Skull and broken mirror motif and the tagline "Rest i... / Continue →

Keep seeing trailers, posters, and clips that catch your interest but unsure of when the films are being released? How about I start telling you what's coming out every week? So you can ask girls on dates to movies. I'll try to come up with a better title by next week. Anyway,... / Continue →

Shock Till You Drop has posted 60-some shots from the set of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and, of course, that means a bunch of photos of shirtless Young Dracula's pale limbs coolly embracing his non-vampire girlfriend. Really giving the people what they wanted. The fans said, ... / Continue →

"Poster designer! The new Land of the Lost poster is due in an hour!" "Whatevs. I'll just cut out a photo of Will Ferrell, slap him into a white nothingness devoid of even shadow, and have the T-rex from the first poster bursting through the paper thin barrier that surrounds t... / Continue →

Calling this Werner Herzog-directed Bad Lieutenant a "remake" of the 1992 Abel Ferrara, Harvey Keitel-starring film isn't an entirely accurate description of what you're going to see in this trailer. This is more like someone dug up a lost promo for an "edgy" USA original serie... / Continue →

Thanks to Flex at MovieGod for passing along this new photo of Dev Patel in The Last Airbender. Strange how quickly a promising young actor can go from being in the Best Picture of the Year to playing some kind of samurai street pimp of the Himalayas in an M. Night Shyamalan fi... / Continue →

Dan Aykroyd, I'm begging you now, please don't ruin Ghostbusters. I watched Ghostbusters 2 for the first time in years this weekend, and although it certainly had its share of walking-Statue-of-Liberty-controlled-by-Nintendo-controller and characters-somehow-in-the-Renaissance-... / Continue →

In perfectly-matched haggard old face casting news, THR is reporting Al Pacino is in talks to star in an cleverly-titled HBO biopic about Dr. Jack Kevorkian: Al Pacino is in negotiations to star in "You Don't Know Jack," an HBO Films biopic about Dr. Jack Kevorkian that Barry ... / Continue →

Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper promote The Hangover in the best way possible to promote anything: with another edition of Galifianakis's antagonistic, borderline surreal talk show, Between Two Ferns. Special appearance by one of our best comedians. You'll love it:... / Continue →

That is not Sienna Miller's face. That's a hybrid of Maggie Gyllenhaal, Joan Rivers, and a 7th grader's carefully-shaded pencil drawing of a woman with an afterthought of sunglasses. It's not Sienna Miller and it might not be human. At least Channing Tatum captured the proper ... / Continue →

The Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz teaming of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in a sci-fi buddy comedy directed by Superbad/Adventureland director Greg Mottola. That's the line-up for Paul, and that's already a pretty promising movie. I'll pack up the family and see that one. But that de... / Continue →

I guess J.J. Abrams cut this when he decided he wanted his relaunch to be less like a nightmare. I heard that's the same reason Christopher Nolan cut this controversial scene from The Dark Knight, but I'm not sure I agree with either edit. (Thanks, Danielle.)... / Continue →

Welp, you might as well stop editing together footage from Firefly and 28 other movie, television, and video games to piece together a Nathan Fillion-starring fake trailer for Green Lantern, because this guy Jaron Pitts has done it, and you probably aren't going to be able to b... / Continue →

Flight of the Navigator, the '80s film where a kid flew around in a silver pod--of which my only memory is of the alien on-board computer eye-bot thing doing an impression of Pee-wee Herman (because it was Pee-wee Herman), but which I've still decided is an untouchable classic-... / Continue →

Between barbecues and solemn remembrance on this four-day weekend, the following movies were most patronized: 1. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - $70 million, showing a massive outpouring of support for this finale to the Indian in the Cupboard trilogy. 2. Ter... / Continue →
