Inglourious Basterds (Dan’s Take): ****

Better late than never… Tarantino did it. With promises of splattery, wet violence he lured the cap askew, “F”-dude lunk into seeing a layered and character-centric foreign language film. I’m not sure what percentage that mob of lowest common denominators makes up by way of the roughly 4,250,000 people who saw Inglourious Basterds this last weekend, but if the crowd I saw it with was a sample, shaggy energy drink swilling douchebags were at least 60% of it. Which goes

Whip It Poster Asks You A Question

This one-sheet for the Drew Barrymore directed roller derby-dream fulfillment comedrama Whip It answers a simple question: Is Ellen Page the cutest l’il actress working in Hollywood today? Yes. Yes she is. Of course, I’m sure that if she were standing here right now reading this over my shoulder, she’d be none-too-pleased with my paternal coddling. She’s a serious, emotion-filled actress, dammit!– not some cuddly member of the Innocent’s glass menagerie. Still, SO cute. (Click to embiggen the darlingness).

Hancock? II? Really?

Yes, really. Apparently, the sequel nobody really cares to see as based of the $624 million grossing movie everyone’s forgotten about (besides remembering it stunk) is being wormed toward a green light. Sony/Columbia has hired The Shield writers Adam Fierro and Glen Mazzara to work up a script for the sequel to the project originally titled, yes, Tonight, He Comes. What does that mean? Hm. Nothing beyond the looming prospect of having your ears and eyes punished all over again.

Trailer Tuesday (Dan’s Pick): Inception

Here at AATM, every day is Trailer Tuesday… and that’s ok, because this is our site and we love both movies AND their advertisements. A pretty intriguing trailer was released a few days ago in the form of Inception. Christopher Nolan’s first film since The Dark Knight, Inception tells the story of… well, they’re trying to keep it under wraps. What’s not under wraps is that it’s a modern sci-fi tale taking place in the labyrinth of the human miiiiiiind.

Trailer Tuesday: Youth in Revolt

I love Michael Cera. I think he’s one of many young actors with a huge upside and huge potential, but I also would be lying if I didn’t say his deadpan, monotone nerd-shtick might be teetering towards the been-there-done-that. I’m not saying it’s not funny. It is funny. But all his major movies in the last three years – Superbad, Juno, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Year One – are all replications of the same character. With the exception

Paramount Pictures Explains Shutter Island Move

I was reaaaaaalllly looking forward to Martin Scorsese’s new film, Shutter Island, this October and cried salty, bitter tears when Paramount Pictures announced last week they were moving the picture’s release date to February 19, 2010. Brad Grey, chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures released the following statement today: Our 2009 slate was greenlit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment.  This is

10 Video Game Movies Coming Before Halo

I sure love the Kotaku website. I get my video game fix there each and every day. But frankly, they can stick it up their collective butts on their 10 Video Game Movies You’ll See Before Halo post. Some on the list will suck without question – see Sims, Asteroids and Duke Nukem, but there are three I’m completely sure could be pretty sweet, those being Gears of War, Bioshock and Deadspace, with a close fourth and fith to World

New Trailer for Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story

Love him or hate him, agree or disagree, one thing cannot be refused about Michael Moore – he is entertaining. He’s back pounding the pavement, in search of truth and justice, in his new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, opening on October 2, 2009. Based on the sort of meh I felt after watching Moore wander the streets in his trademark cap and urban-hobo attire, I’m not entirely sure this movie will cause a stir and an impact like Fahrenheit

He’s A Wolf. He’s A Man. He’s The Wolf Man.

Not too long ago, Andy gave you the sad news that The Wolf Man, the tender coming of age story about a man, his wolf bite and the people he subsequently gnaws to death, would be pushed back from a fall release to the depressing and bitter-cold wasteland of winter 2010. You yawned. But that’s OK! Despite it’s setback, the trailer for the period-set Wolf Man revival has arrived, begging the question: Why did werewolf transformations look so much better

Avatar Trailer Arrives

With just a few months before its release, James Cameron’s Avatar— the “event” film most general movie going audiences should have been talking about six months ago as far as 20th Century Fox is concerned– has received a trailer. The whole film is still an enigma, so I’m not sure that giving a non-narrated encapsulation of the film is the best way to explain the plot to folks unfamiliar with it, or whether this film even looks as revolutionary as
