This is the entertainment of our future. This is the real I'd Buy That for a Dollar. In a few years, we'll all be Super Tivoing CBS to watch Keyboard Cat inserted into Casablanca, and CBS won't even bother calling it "Catsablanca," because they know that will go over too many h... / Continue →

Of course, the less optimistic way to say it is that the sibling directors of the basic cable-haunting comedy You, Me and Dupree might direct Captain America 2. But why make ourselves sad?... / Continue →

Like an alien cat-man's furious mummy? I guess so. See one of them get punched in their stupid face in the new TV spot below.... / Continue →

The narrowed, furrowed glare of Colin Farrell is no longer fixed upon the role of Lancelot. / Continue →

As posted by the film's official Facebook, here's the logo for Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, Man of Steel. Basically, it's the Superman symbol, but filtered through Snyder's default "edginess" filter that lowers the brightness, drops the saturation, and arbitrarily adds textur... / Continue →

Like Batman and Legos, Breaking Bad and animated gifs are pleasures best enjoyed together, on the internet (or through a video game based around collecting "studs," if that's an option). No one knows this better than comedian Paul Scheer. He's using his modest fame and apparent... / Continue →

In what must be the cruelest, most ill-conceived repackaging of Twins since the film was sold with Kindergarten Cop instead of Junior, Universal and Montecito Picture Co. are developing a sequel to the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Danny DeVito comedy that would see Eddie Murphy playin... / Continue →

So accurate, you'll swear Christopher Nolan quit being a commercially and critically-successful blockbuster director to instead play with the old Lego bin he found in his parents' garage.... / Continue →

Previous trailers for The Three Stooges have offered fart jokes, crustacean-on-testicle gags, and an appearance by society's automatic punchline, Snooki. And while those elements have certainly guaranteed the film a position near the very bottom of the entertainment pool, the f... / Continue →

This is one of them. / Continue →

Furious that another raven-haired, hipster/geek-beloved comic actress is out there time traveling with her New Girl co-star, Zooey Deschanel has moved quickly to ensure she too will have a future involving history-changing dramedy. Because if anyone is going to fraudulently spr... / Continue →

Where do you step up once you've already stepped up 2 the streets and stepped up 3d? I'm sorry, but there is nowhere to step up from there. You have stepped up as far as society allows within its current capitalist patriarchy. It's time to STEP UP REVOLUTION. From Entertainmen... / Continue →

As a writer of words to fill the hushed gaps among CGI clamor, Alex Kurtzman has little to prove. He's worked on scripts for The Island, two Transformers films, Cowboys & Aliens, Star Trek, and more. Outside maybe Sam Worthington, few have so much experience figuring out how to... / Continue →

Hey, it's Jennifer Lawrence! I know her from that Hunger Games! Those are her boobs! I guess I will see this incredibly generic-looking movie then!... / Continue →

Warner Bros. made another one of those CGI owl movies? No! But I thought that at first, too. It turns out this is a different CGI movie that is also something about Guardians. This time, DreamWorks is behind it, and these so-called "Guardians" are not CGI owls but CGI whatever ... / Continue →

As made official by Ron Burgundy and the pomp of a jazz flute solo, Anchorman is getting a sequel. / Continue →

Somewhere on the vast spectrum of "likable character making an insane claim that couldn't be true (or is it!?)" films, far beyond K-PAX and Kate & Leopold and Martian Child, out in the hand-drawn wilderness of the quirky indie outskirts, seems to be where Safety Not Guaranteed ... / Continue →

WHAT IS REAL, you guys!? Is reality taking a sci-fi classic, letting the director of Underworld: Evolution polish it up, and replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger continuously using a man as a human shield with Colin Farrell continuously diving from explosions? Or is reality subjecti... / Continue →

Author Stephen King last May suggested Lindsay Lohan for the high school-age role, but since it's now known that even a "rehabilitated" Lindsay Lohan looks like the chain-smoking spectre of a haunted highway overpass, the titular role in Carrie is going to to 15-year-old Chloe ... / Continue →

That's what Gosling gets for being such a impossible-to-match standard of effortless cool, universally-desired good looks, and meme-based sensitivity. The asshole. Actually, that's what he gets for doing another film with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn, who seriously love... / Continue →

Having long ago shrugged off any snobbish pretense through screenings of Attack of the Clones, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Spider-Man 3, the Tribeca Film Festival will once again conclude its events with some crowd-pleasing CGI spectacle. According to the officia... / Continue →

To look at the marketing material thus far, you'd be forgiven for thinking The Dictator was entirely about Sacha Baron Cohen doing a misogynistic Triumph the Insult Comic Dog impression from beneath regalia and a fake beard (and occasionally making Ryan Seacrest cry). The movie... / Continue →

Nearly a month ago to the day, Fox released the first teaser for Neighborhood Watch, and we saw Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn and Richard Ayoade taking their neighborhood watch position too seriously, interrogating teenagers and firing a mock gun out their window. Also ... / Continue →

Starving for more of Masterpiece Theater's Downton Abbey? Starving for a Beef 'n Cheddar with horsey sauce? Sate both hungers with Downton Arby's, a Yahoo-produced sketch that places undervalued comedy regulars Richard Kind and Matt Walsh in a parody that is exactly what it sou... / Continue →

The Cartoon Network series Adventure Time is already a pretty charming thing. But you know that one thing that makes it slightly more charming? Being brought to real life through quaintly hand-crafted costumery. It is very charming!... / Continue →

In this first teaser for Sony Pictures' Hotel Transylvania, an Adam Sandler-voiced Dracula calls the titular inn "a place I built for all those monsters hiding from the persecution of humankind." The description works equally well for the film as a whole, which hides Sandler, K... / Continue →

Joel Kinnaman's excitement over having a translucent visor has us today staring squarely into RoboCop's newly-visible eyes, but let's not forget that there's another Paul Verhoeven sci-fi-satire remake on the way and much nearer to theaters. Underworld director Len Wiseman has ... / Continue →

This isn't your momma's RoboCop! It's the RoboCop created in response to your momma's incredulous, "Why would anyone hide such a handsome officer's face!?"... / Continue →

Here's a ten-by-thirteen grid of Simpsons episodes all playing out at once, basically simulating what it would be like to somehow watch every Fox affiliate in the world at once, at around 6:30, 7-ish. The video was put together, in the words of the YouTube uploader, "to experi... / Continue →

As he's made clear through his work on The Abyss, Ghosts of the Abyss, and Aliens of the Deep, James Cameron loves deep sea exploration almost as much as Leonardo DiCaprio loves Kate Winslet in spite of belittling class differences. The director recently took his interest to t... / Continue →

Sparing us a bleak future in which Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis would inevitably star together in a terminal illness-based romantic drama, the Wachowskis have chosen the two actors to instead star together in a top-secret science fiction film.... / Continue →

The first chapter of the Hunger Games trilogy made to to screens in a critically-praised, hugely-successful adaptation, but it's not all smiles for some fans whose Peeta posters are flanked by Confederate flags and unfocused rage. They are very upset about there being black peo... / Continue →

As we learned last week, director Barry Sonnenfeld has forsaken the Big Willy style that defined the Men in Black brand and hired Pitbull do write and perform the theme song to the latest chapter of the Men in Black franchise. Today, that song reaches our ears with the arrival ... / Continue →

The 1996 darkly-comic thriller Fargo won acclaim, seven Academy Award nominations, and induction into the National Film Registry for the Coen brothers' unique telling of an unlikely crime occurring in an even more unlikely place. Sixteen years later, FX would like to see if may... / Continue →

Last week, Hugh Jackman emerged from his Les Misérables trailer to show us how he looked as the convict Jean Valjean, and how he looked was like a mentally ill vagrant. Now, thanks to the Daily Mail, we have a first look at Russell Crowe in-costume as Inspector Javert, and--out... / Continue →

Last we heard about the upcoming season of Doctor Who, executive producer Steven Moffat made some big promises about a new companion, a "heartbreaking departure," and "one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters." You don't really get a sense of much heartbreak o... / Continue →

That 15-second Breaking Dawn, Part 2 trailer from last week was apparently but a teaser for this, slightly longer teaser. Tragically, there's no new footage of Taylor Lautner in his Bodysuit Wolfman costume, but now you get more of Kristen Stewart's gratuitous ring and woodland... / Continue →

Michael Bay's decision to turn the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into completely-lovable aliens may be the first step towards building a richer world--a world in which giant turtles are a race, because that should have you choking on richness already--but constructing such a uto... / Continue →

The weekend box office: 1. The Hunger Games - $155 million, debuting even larger than expected to pull in the third highest opening weekend gross in history, beating all of the Twilight films and falling in just behind The Dark Knight and Harry Potter's final chapter. Hunger G... / Continue →
