OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But, putting aside my overwhelming fear of this sinister prophecy, I'm glad they used my suggestion of making the title even edgier by reducing it to just the image of a triangle. So edgy. (As the watermark implies, from IGN.)... / Continue →

Oh, if only to be a child again. Not me as a child--I was an idiot who spent most of his time re-enacting scenes from Ghostbusters--but a child with discerning enough taste to recognize and enjoy that this fall marks a quality family film renaissance. In October comes Spike Jon... / Continue →

Empire has the new poster for The Informant, Steven Soderbergh's latest that stars Matty D as a bumbling whistle-blower. I feel like the image is imitating a specific movie poster from decades past, but I don't know what movie that would be, so I'm going to say it's imitating w... / Continue →

For their last film, 2008's entertaining if comparatively forgettable Burn After Reading, Joel and Ethan Coen filled the cast with notable talent like John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, and two-thirds of People Magazine's sexiest members of Ocean's Eleven. Always... / Continue →

Remember Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, the first movie that dared pit the meganess of a shark against the giantude of a octopus against '80s pop star Deborah Gibson? Well, no matter. You really don't need to know much about it to enjoy this clip from the film; only that there ... / Continue →

Will the next shirt this man puts on be whatever shirts valets wear (probably some kind of dress shirt)? So say "various Asian news outlets," all claiming South Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo has been cast as Kato in Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen's The Green Hornet. Kwon is the thi... / Continue →

With the addition of a couple ninjas, a lady in a leather catsuit, and some bad guys with metal heads, this seven-minute battle would capture the spirit of G.I. Joe far better than anything I've seen in the trailers for the upcoming film. Just the kind of laser and missile-fill... / Continue →

Just when mom started thinking it was OK to use the email just to show relatives photos of her garden, it turns out NO ONE IS SAFE IN CYBERSPACE. Not so long as there are iMurders happening: A mysterious love triangle leads to a tragic shooting. Months later, eight members of ... / Continue →

Oh, because Rush Hour and X-Men 3 director Brett Ratner was one of the directors commissioned to create an ode to your beloved city? I guess that is a pretty legitimate reason to be miserable. Incidentally, those interested can see this poster in person on the sidewall of any ... / Continue →

Continuing the recent trend of every action hero looking like Tom Petty/WWE's The Undertaker, here's the new poster for Solomon Kane. It was probably a good idea hiding James Purefoy's face: I now so strongly regard him as "guy in that really obnoxious ad campaign for The Phil... / Continue →

The Tron Legacy teaser trailer went online over the weekend, and if you thought seeing a complicated 3-D bike battle was impressive in 1982, wait until you see it in 2009! Far less impressive, actually. I don't know if you've heard, but computer generation is a pretty standard ... / Continue →
