    Duncan Jones sure did a good job with that Moon movie, didn't he? What a nice Moon that was! I sure wanted to like whatever that guy did next. Unfortunately, what he's done next seems to be a generic-looking amalgam of Quantum Leap and Groundhog Day, all painted in the stinky v... / Continue →

    I've got to give The Lincoln Lawyer this much: it looks like it really gives you your money's worth of Matthew McConaughey. The trailer starts us with classic smarmy coolguy McConaughey, a slick attorney who can discern how much money is in an envelope just by shaking it, and w... / Continue →

    The Green Lantern movie may be filled with so many superhero movie clichés that it borders on satire, but at least it isn't trying to cram a bunch of villains into a single film, right? Wrong! Though the trailer focused mostly on Peter Sarsgaard's giant, evil head, Green Lanter... / Continue →
