Nov 18 2008 'Race to Witch Mountain' Trailer Like a Supernatural 'Friends' for Kids
Disney has released a new trailer for Race to Witch Mountain--a remake of 1975's Escape to Witch Mountain--the story of two super-powered alien children and their attempt to find a way back to the ship they crashed into a geological formation known as a mountain. The Rock plays the cab driver helping them, and for some reason he plays it like he's doing an impression of Matt LeBlanc. It's really distracting. Either he studied acting by watching Lost in Space and LeBlanc's monkey-as-baseball player movie, Ed, or Disney really wanted Matt LeBlanc and instead hired Dwayne Johnson to play it as Matt LeBlanc. Which would be despicable. Do you know what Joey has been doing since they cancelled Joey, Disney? Absolutely nothing. Joey would have loved to drive alien children to a spooky mountain. He would have told so many amusing anecdotes about how David Schwimmer is nothing like Ross. He would have brought donuts to the set every day, just because "It's somebody's birthday somewhere, eh?" You guys made a real mistake.

Nov 14 2008 New 'Watchmen' Trailer!
This Watchmen trailer is going to knock you on your nerdy ass. It will knock your books out of your arms, shove you in a locker, and make you do its homework, but you'll still pathetically ask it to come to your birthday party:
Nov 6 2008 'Watchmen' Video Diary: Grrrl Power Edition
Girls Kick Ass, the latest production diary from the set of Watchmen, has gone online at MySpace. As you might expect, it focuses on the stars that have ladyparts (Carla Gugino, Malin Akerman), the training they went through, and the relationship between their characters. Girls can be trained to throw punches too, dudes! Here's the proof!
If you only sit at your desk and discreetly masturbate to one production diary this year, make it this one:

Oct 22 2008 More of That 'Watchmen' Movie
For those of you who missed the Scream Awards last night, first off, what were you thinking??? Secondly, here's the new trailer for Watchmen that debuted.
I forget, did the comic have this much slow motion and so many dramatic landings?
Aug 18 2008 'Righteous Kill' R-Rated Trailer: Pacino and De Niro Do Whatever They Want
Here's the new effin' & jeffin'-filled trailer to Righteous Kill, a film only notable for the presence of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, two actors once considered impressive to watch. I like how you can tell both of them have completely abandoned the idea of taking direction. Just from this trailer, you get a pretty clear image of what the set was like: Pacino shouting at the camera guy, "You, with the picture machine, keep up, 'cause Bobby and I are gonna be quick, and we don't do take-twos!" The director just sits there with his head in his hands, "God, why do they keep reasserting how much they like guns? We know they like guns."

Jul 22 2008 'Watchmen' Sally Jupiter Pin-Up (NSFW, if You're in the '40s)
Illustrator James Jean created this pin-up of Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter for the Watchmen movie. Apparently, if you look closely enough, you can see it for a second in the new trailer--but that's not all you can see, if you know what I mean!*
*Nipples.

Mar 11 2008 'Righteous Kill' Trailer: De Niro, Pacino Acting Tough
You ever wonder what it would be like to get modern screen legends Robert De Niro and Al Pacino to star as partners in a classic cop story? From this trailer, it looks like it's a lot like when you let two old guitar legends improvise--producing a meandering, two-hour long riff that no one wants to listen to--except with more acting like a tough guy.
The director probably said something like, "You guys freeform, do your schtick, whatever you want--we'll give Leguizamo or 50 Cent some lines that will sort it out in the end." We'll see how that works out, but still, nice call throwing the Rolling Stones song in the trailer, giving the vague impression this might be a sub-par Scorsese film.

Nov 8 2007 'Righteous Kill' Preview - With De Niro and Pacino!
Speak of the devil (the devil being corrupt cop thrillers), it's another corrupt cop thriller! But Righteous Kill, as its preview will shove in your face, holds the distinct honor of starring screen legends Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, together for probably the last time until they found a Godfather II-themed retirement home.
The preview also features 50-Cent and a thumping backing track of some kind of electro-metal, and screaming. It's like they're trying to pull in fans of the greatest actors of a generation, but also don't want to lose that coveted angsty 8th grader demographic.
Thanks for the tip, Adam.

Aug 8 2007 Carla Gugino is Sally Jupiter
Casting for Zack Snyder's Watchmen adaptation continues, with Carla Gugino joining the cast as Sally Jupiter, the original Silk Spectre. The actress is known recently for her role as the sexy and naked Lucille in Sin City and the sexy and three-dimensional mom in Spy Kids 3D.
As if I didn't have enough reasons to want to see this movie already, now I have to add carnal lust to the mix. Even though sometimes her head looks like a doll's, I love it all the same.
