As if John Travolta hadn't gnawed through enough scenery in Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, that smirking hole in the middle of his ridiculous goatee is chewing it up again, this time with Jonathan Rhys Meyers in From Paris with Love. It's basically Turner & Hooch, except instead of do... / Continue →

That's now an attainable goal in your life. Well done, YouTube user stevefalz--though, as usual, I'm not entirely sure why done. Below the cut, the "Afternoon Delight" sequence from Anchorman, now animated.... / Continue →

Only about a month until Where the Wild Things Are comes out, meaning about a month until my unbridled, enthusiastic optimism will have to finally face the harsh reality of an actual film and its flaws. I'm a bit nervous. This film is my internet girlfriend, and while I'm excit... / Continue →

Because that's when Spider-Man 4 will be released, "web-slingers!" This article from yesterday's Variety claims director Sam Raimi and stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are on board, with the script being written by Gary Ross. Ross's previous writing jobs have been a bizar... / Continue →

God, I wish the "no toy left behind" slogan were true. Sadly, I know a Battle Armor He-Man in a Waffle House somewhere between my childhood home and Orlando, Florida that would tell a very different story. 'Toy Story 3' Poster [Trailer Addict]... / Continue →

Night at the Museums director Shawn Levy has signed on to direct Real Steel, a film--sadly, unassociated with Shaq's Steel--that will make you wonder how no one had yet thought to combine the Terminator and pugilism: [T]he "Steel" story line takes place in a near future where ... / Continue →

New Where the Wild Things Are photos and information on the New York Times, everyone. I'm hoping that if I expose myself to enough of the film to numb my senses a bit before it comes out, maybe my awe and weeping can be kept inaudible in the theater. Though, I guess it will be ... / Continue →

I guess this is news. MTV spoke to Diane Nelson, the newly appointed head of DC Entertainment, and asked what was going on with a new Superman movie. Her reply: not a lot. "We actually don't have any current plans for Superman," said Nelson when asked if the new environment (a... / Continue →
