The Karate Kid remake opens tomorrow and is currently hovering at 55% fresh on RottenTomatoes.com. It’s hard to fathom a classic from my youth being remade with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, son of Will, but I suppose as the hair gets grayer this is bound to happen. Plus, Hollywood is infatuated with the 1980s right now, so in all honesty The Karate Kid remake is a no-brainer. Could this be the week Shrek Forever After gets knocked off the …

Dan shared this link with me today and we both laughed heartily. Anyone who enjoys Star Wars and who has met their fair share of douchebags will appreciate this video. Click the article heading above to watch the video, or click here.
Philip K. Dick died in 1982 after suffering a stroke at the age of 53. I’m betting the Average Joe has no idea who Dick was, but if I told you his novels had spawned the movies Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Imposter, Paycheck, A Scanner Darkly and Next, you’d probably think Dick was brilliant, maybe a little nuts and definitely rich. Despite his body of work, Dick died pretty close to the poverty level and obviously isn’t around …
If you missed the MTV Movie Awards this past Sunday you missed a kick-ass tribute to Sandra Bullock, more Twilight than anyone should ever have to endure, Lindsay Lohan shaking in her seat from a lack of alcohol and enough f-words to make you think Martin Scorsese was directing the awards telecast. But you also missed this nice clip teasing the November 19, 2010 release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One. Click the article title above to …
If you missed the MTV Movie Awards yesterday, then you definitely missed this exclusive Eclipse clip (say that 10 times fast) and that means you also missed some serious Edward/Jacob tension. I’m not a Twilight fan, but The Twilight Saga: Eclipse might be the best film of the soon-to-be quintology. Click here to see the clip, or click the article headline above.
Here’s what I know: Nobody needs career revitalization more than Harrison Ford, Rachel McAdams, Jeff Goldblum and Diane Keaton. The irony is they are all terrific screen presences – even terrific actors, if I dare go that far – but the truth is they haven’t had a hit in quite some time. And no, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull does not count as a hit for Harrison Ford and Sherlock Holmes does not count as a …
It would be easy to dismiss all the boobies, drugs, drinking, swearing, puking and other dirty deeds in Get Him to the Greek as “been there done that,” especially considering the director, Nicholas Stoller, was the man behind Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the movie that inspired this current spin-off sequel. And of course we can’t forget the Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, The 40 Year-Old Virgin) connection, as he serves as producer on both comedies. But what makes Get Him to the …
Ladies and gentleman, behold Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She’s 23, hails from England, has dated Oliver Martinez (Unfaithful) and Jason Statham (The Bank Job) and is best known as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. As of today, according to Michael Bay’s website, she can add “Sam Witwicky’s Love Interest” to her resume, as she’s the new female lead in Transformers 3, which recently started filming in Los Angeles. She is the official replacement for collagen-happy Megan Fox, whom Michael Bay did not invite …
Jack Black (Year One) is the white Eddie Murphy (Shrek Forever After). He’s mostly funny, but can also be super annoying. Even worse, his comedic tricks are pretty much the same in every movie, and while that can be said of most comedians, for some reason it seems highlighted with guys like Murphy, Black and Jim Carrey. At any rate, Gulliver’s Travels hits theaters on December 22, 2010 and stars Emily Blunt (The Wolfman), Jason Segal (I Love You, Man) …
There is tons o’ hate on the web for Justin Bieber and his balls-have-yet-to-drop voice, perfectly coifed hair and Chiclet-sized white-as-hell teeth. Personally, I have no issues with Bieber. Like a thousand other teenage artists, I’m guessing he’s a flash-in-the-pan and will probably nose-dive with the weight of fame. Probably after he acquires herpes from some loose groupie, starts doing heroin and wakes up at 21 looking like Josh Brolin. But that’s not the point. The point is Bieber’s new …
