Good if you want to see: a kid become a vampire, thanks to John C. Reilly the Vampire; some sort of freak show? I don't know, I'm just basing this off the commercials. It's not like I'm going to read the book or something.
Amelia

Aug 14 2009 'Amelia' Poster: Earhart Loves Mall-Based Clothing Outlets
Not even someone as historically relevant and respected as Amelia Earhart is safe from the classic ass-towards-the-camera poster design. The piloting glass ceiling may have shattered, but the show-me-your-ass ceiling still remains.

Jun 26 2009 'Amelia' Trailer: Old Guys, Please Refrain From Shouting "I Know How It Ends!" and Chuckling
Coming soon to lists of things that will probably win Oscars, Hilary Swank and Richard Gere in the melodramatic story of the world's greatest ladypilot: Amelia. As you can see in the above screenshot, the biopic seems to support my controversial theory that Earhart's disappearance was the result of arbitrarily climbing out of her plane, standing on the wings, and waving until she fell off. I knew it:
Feb 23 2009 A Few Seconds of a Bunch of Upcoming Movies
If you made it to the end of the Oscars--or more likely, if you dozed off and were awakened by the credit sequence's jamming guitar--the night's reward was a three-minute movie preview sequence. For some of the films (Public Enemies, Whatever Works), it was a first look at scenes from highly-anticipated projects. For others (Old Dogs!), it was the warning: oh god, Robin Williams and John Travolta made some kind of boot camp comedy, and it's called Old Dogs. Here it is:

Jun 19 2008 New Shots from 'Amelia' (Earhart Biopic)
IMAGE REMOVED at request of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
I think I went to the Halloween party where this was taken. Their costumes were obnoxious elementary school art teacher, pilot, and Richard Gere.
Apr 29 2008 'Amelia' Biopic Continues Looking Accurate
When I saw the first shot from the set of Amelia, I was shocked that Hilary Swank had little to no eyebrows for the role. Somehow I'd never noticed in my years of comprehensive Amelia Earhart photo study that her eyebrows were so non-existent. Not wanting to be caught unawares again, I studied up on the famous aviator. And thus, being so well-informed, I'm not at all surprised she has a gruesome, gnarled claw for a hand. That's just how it was. Also: that's Richie Geere as husband George Putnam.

Apr 18 2008 Hilary Swank as a Browless Earhart in 'Amelia'
What the hell--no eyebrows?! Where are her eyebrows?! How does playing Amelia Earhart equate to having no eyebrows? Earhart had eyebrows! I've seen pictures of her before--in fact, I'll look up some now--and I'm positive I would have noticed if she didn't have eyebr... hmm... interesting.
Alright, fine. Maybe Amelia Earhart really didn't have eyebrows. But she definitely didn't look so much like Cate Blanchett playing David Spade.
