Apologies in advance is this trailer won't play for you. I sure can't get this web-only Larry Crowne to work, but at the same time, I have it on the Twitter authority of director/star TOM HANKS that it does work, and who am I to contradict America's male sweetheart? So by all m... / Continue →

Depending on who you ask, former Miss Wyoming Joyce McKinney is either a beauty queen who used her feminine wiles to save a man from a cult, or a maniac who flew to England, kidnapped a recent Mormon convert, drugged him, chained him to a bed, and raped him for a few days strai... / Continue →

That American flag tracksuit won't be Sacha Baron Cohen's only zany look for his upcoming The Dictator. As Cohen continues as an artist, he's necessarily adding more and more goofy outfits to his repertoire--like this sunglasses with symmetrical hair-and-beard ensemble. I guess... / Continue →

In a Hollywood that's largely given up on mature, intelligent, adult films in favor of movies about CGI animals interacting with live-action humans in a way that might modestly entertain a toddler, who better to join the movie-making party than HIT Entertainment? As rights-owne... / Continue →

It's been nearly two years since Universal won a four-way bidding war for the film rights to Atari's Asteroids, and yet still we remain woefully devoid of any films about spaceships shooting big asteroids into smaller, more manageable, asteroid chunks. It sounds like the studio... / Continue →

Like a human gastrointestinal tract extended along three to twelve people, the drama surrounding Tom Six's sequel to The Human Centipede continues on without regard to the surrounding public nausea. With the British Board of Film Classification on Monday rejecting The Human Cen... / Continue →

The story of King Kong has been told and retold on the screen since the '30s, but somehow never yet as a 3-D animated film told from the perspective of Kong himself, so Fox Animation has decided they might as well be the ones to do that. The studio has hired the writing team of... / Continue →

Back when we first learned Edward Norton would be playing a scout leader in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, I trust everyone was already wise enough to be picturing the goofy hat, kerchief, high socks, etc. that Anderson would clearly insist on Norton wearing. But just in case... / Continue →

If Dwayne Johnson's eagerness to accept parts in Mummy spin-offs and Journey to the Center of the Earth sequels has shown us anything, it's that the guy loves sniffing wherever Brendan Fraser has already scooted himself around on the carpet. Fraser only had a cameo in 2009's G.... / Continue →
