Dead or Alive Pictures
If your country doesn't promote ritualistic fighting between beautiful women to decide who will be married and who will be brutally scarred and sent to live alone in a cave, check out these stills to Dead or Alive. There's none of the boring ritual, all of the women and fighting.
I'm beginning to question the appropriateness of this movie's title. I know it's based on the video game, but the title Dead or Alive implies to me some sort of risk, possibly even life or death situations. All of these fighting images, however, seem to indicate a certain nonchalance to the battles. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong. It's not "Dead or Alive!" it's "Sure, dead or alive. Whatev," followed by a slow drag of a cigarette and a cool, apathetic stare.

Superman Saves a Plane
From Australia comes a Coke commercial that shows action-packed new footage from Superman Returns, in which the Man of Steel flies through a city street and rescues a burning airplane. The best part is how, as he speeds between the looming skyscrapers, it almost looks like Superman is making the final attack run on the Star Wars Death Star. If, for some reason, you don't agree that this is the best part, congratulations. You may still have hope of normal social interactions.
Sentinels Revealed in X-Men 3
It's been long rumored that X-Men: The Last Stand would finally include the famous X-men villain, the giant, mutant-hunting robot Sentinels. Now, after months of anticipation, a clip shown by Hugh Jackman on the Tonight Show finally has our answer: yes, X-men 3 does have awful dialogue and effects.
James Bond Casino Royale Teaser Poster
If you've been saving a spot on your bedroom wall between the album art to Dark Side of the Moon and a busty girl covered in suds, wait no longer--the poster to Casino Royale has arrived. I understand this is a prequel, but again, did they have to revert to a pre-humanoid Bond for this one? In this particular shot, our simian hero has reached a rather dramatic point of the game, placing his gun on the line, when he's tragically distracted by an exceptionally large banana. "Wha-what is that?" he mutters, nearly dropping his cards. The fully-evolved villain Le Chiffre grins. "They don't call it Casino Royale for having small bananas, Bond."
Monster House Trailer
Now at Apple, you can see the trailer for what's sure to be the next big CG animated kids sensation, the Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis produced Monster House. I would have thought Zemeckis would have learned from The Polar Express that creating semi-realistic CG humans just ends up looking creepy and lifeless, their dead, soulless eyes staring expectantly at you, reminding you of the child you lost through that night of prenatal binge drinking. Would you have been so careless that night had her eyes stared into yours so deeply, begging to feel the sweet kiss of daylight, if even just once? I can't answer that for you, drunky.
Just My Luck Trailer
Just my luck! The trailer for Lindsey Lohan's bad luck/good luck story Just My Luck is online! And just my luck--I'll never have to see any more of this horrible movie again!
