Twilight Eclipse Levi Lovin’ Photos Removed via Cease and Desist

Published by Andy on February 17, 2010 in Just for Fun and News. 7 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Faithful readers of AndyatTheMovies.com probably saw a post a few days ago that featured some new Levi lovin’ images from the upcoming (June 2010) release of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. We have since been asked formally by Summit Entertainment’s legal counsel to take the images off the site. You can read the full text of the letter after the jump.

I can’t imagine why Summit wouldn’t want a little free press, even if I am mocking the film to some extent. But more importantly, what are they trying to protect? Secrets from the movie? I doubt it, because those images are so bland and non-descript they could have been from any of the three Twilight movies. Seems to be they’re being heavy-handed and uptight, but that’s ok, because while I can’t share the images any more, I can share an artist’s interpretation of what was shown in the images. Click for the full-sized masterpiece.

Enjoy.

Twihards, Behold! New Moon DVD and Blu-ray Coming in March!

Published by Andy on January 19, 2010 in DVD/Blu Ray and News. 5 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Didn’t get enough of Jacob’s six pack abs or Edward’s hairy Milk Dud vampire nipples back in November? Well don’t fret, friend! The Twilight Saga: New Moon is hitting store shelves on DVD and Blu-ray on March 20, 2010! That’ll be a nice bridge for the Twihards who are fidgeting and antsy, either during class or while folding laundry, at the long gulf between the bleak month of January and June 30, 2010, when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits cinemas.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon DVD and Blu-ray will feature audio commentary from director, Chris Weitz and editor Peter Lambert, as well as a six part documentary, rehearsal footage, three music videos and a leaked sex tape with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Okay, the last one was a lie, but wouldn’t that be cool? No, you’re right, I didn’t think so either.

Cougars and Teens Rejoice! Twilight Coming to IMAX!

imax-logoOh, Nelly! Twihards are going to poop their pants over this news! Not only will fans of Edward Furrybrows, Jacob Wolfsack and Bella Sadpants be able to swoon and lust over their Stephanie Meyer-created crazy characters, but – BUT – they’ll be able to get their fix while watching The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on the very, very, very big screen of IMAX. Holy cuss!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is directed by David Slade (30 Days of Night, Hard Candy) and continues the vampire-werewolf-depressed-chick saga started in Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. I don’t know much about the plot and I just had dinner, so I didn’t want to look, but something tells me that crazy vampire Victoria (this time played by Bryce Dallas Howard) will be out to get Bella, and Bella will still be giving Jacob the shaft whilst entertaining the pasty-skinned douche known as Edward. Everyone is telling me this one will have more action, too! Oh, boy! Can’t wait!

Sigh. Please, Twilight fans, let me know if I got that right. I’m guessing I did.

Movie Review – The Twilight Saga: New Moon (C+)

Published by Andy on November 20, 2009 in Reviews. 14 Comments Tags: , , , .

twilightnewmoonThe tidal wave of New Moon hysteria hit early this morning as thousands of women of all ages, along with 25 guys, streamed into screenings starting at midnight, all hoping the second film in The Twilight Saga would be as tasty or better than last year’s Twilight. Judging by the squeals and the oohs and the ahhs, I’d say 99 percent of the audience was satiated with enough gooey Edward and Bella romance to last until June 2010 when The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits theaters. Me? I pulled my hood over my head and wept bitter tears for the unrequited love young Jacob must endure at the hands of that charlatan, Miss Swan.

Of course, I kid about hiding my face in my hood, but don’t be mistaken. While the New Moon tsunami has landed and will leave with its pockets full of cash, there is another fierce storm blowing across the web, this one in the form of severe hatred of all things Twilight, specifically the fans and the newest film. This is nothing new, I suppose, whereas Stephanie Meyer has been called a hack from coast-to-coast, the most notable being Stephen King’s lambasting of Meyer’s skills last February in USA Weekend. King said, “”Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… the real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephanie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

Movie Review (Dan’s Take): The Twilight Saga: New Moon (B-)

twilight_saga_new_moon_ver2So now might be time to relinquish my right to continue as a bear wrestling, hairy chested, card carrying male. I unapologetically enjoyed New Moon… all in spite of itself.

Qualified: “enjoyed” doesn’t mean squealing, wooing, heart-stopping delight, but rather pleasant surprise at Chris Weitz’ relatively true handle on overwrought teen angst and the brief action beats that break it up.  In short, Weitz directs a film that, despite a ploddingly joyless eternal love between vampire Edward and heroine Bella (one that thankfully gets a breather for most of the movie), moves with enough humor, mild danger and character exposition to deepen and enliven a relatively shallow story.

New Moon continues the inexplicable love affair* between a 100+ year old vampire and 17 year old girl, as Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattison) grimace and mope mushy one-liners back and forth while arguing over whether or not Bella should become a vampire. If love is as painful as Bella and Edward make it look, love blows.

Dear Kristen Stewart: This is Not a Good Look for You

Published by Andy on November 19, 2009 in Just for Fun. 21 Comments Tags: , , , .

They say when two people are in love they start to take on the other’s characteristics and, some say, physical characteristics. Yeah, well, that must be the case here, because Kristen Stewart is channeling Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen in this picture from a premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Oh, and while you’re considering how not cute Kristen is looking in that picture, make sure to remind yourself how hot Ashley Greene is. And now I’m done with AATM’s weekly “I want to be US Magazine” post. Please take your seats and we’ll get back to the business of movies.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Trailer from the MTV VMAs

Published by Andy on September 14, 2009 in Almost News, Coming Soon and Trailers. 2 Comments Tags: , , , .

ed-jake-bella-new-moonThe MTV Video Music Awards were televised yesterday, and, as always, the ceremony was quite the self-congratulatory spectacle and bastion of controversy, with the douchebaggery highlight of the evening going to Kanye West, as he confirmed to the world that he is an egocentric, dim-witted, poor-mannered loser when he upstaged Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video winner’s speech. Thankfully, West was booed out of the auditorium and received a glut of negative Tweets about his unsportsmanlike behavior, the best of which was Katy Perry’s, “F*** u Kanye. It’s like you stepped on a kitten.”

At any rate, between West, Lady Gaga’s crazy blood-soaked performance of Paparazzi, Lil’ Mama’s takeover of Jay-Z and Alicia Key’s duet of Empire State of Mind and the not-so-funny musings and jokes from the show’s host, Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), people completely forgot about the big movie news of the evening:

The final trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

In case you missed the preview, you can watch the two-plus minute trailer below. As expected, we’ve got more brooding Edward, more angst-ridden Jacob and the ever whiny Bella, who is starting to sound like a dude from all the smoking she does. We also get to see shots of Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning as members of the Volturi family.

So, what’s the verdict? I’d like to know your thoughts. Personally, I think it looks a step above Twilight and should quench the thirsts of the hungry Twihards who have been pining for New Moon all year. There are some seemingly corny bits, but those appear more story-based and less about the skill of the filmmakers. Check out the trailer below and share your thoughts please. If you’ve read the book (or books), based on the trailer how will the movie version hold up?

Michael Sheen in “New Moon”

Published by Andy on April 13, 2009 in News. 5 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

michael-sheenMichael Sheen, most recently seen as David Frost in Ron Howard’s Oscar nominated “Frost/Nixon,” has signed on to play the head of the Volturi coven of vampires in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” Sheen must be relieved to finally shed the werewolf mask (he played a lycan in all three “Underworld” films) for that of a vampire. Boy, I know I would be. Them werewolves are stink-a-rific.

Oh, and in case you’ve been in Outer Space for the last year, “New Moon” is the sequel to last November’s box office darling, “Twilight.” Robert “Soon To Be Typecast” Pattison returns for the sequel as Edward Shinyskin Furybrows, as does Kristen “I’m a Pothead” Stewart as Bella Swan.”

It’s the first weekend of April and things are a little a slow on the “summer appetizer” movie release slate (IE- there’s money to be made, but maaaaybe not enough to give them a summer slot). Instead, it’ll most likely be a weekend for audiences to revisit the gooey, slimy and engorged antics of Monsters vs. Aliens (Andy’s review here).

fast_and_furious_xlgUnless, of course, you like your movies served up on a piping hot plate of fancy girls, pretty boys and the vehicles they exploit. That’s right– Vin “I used to be a contender!” Diesel   and Paul “Me too!” Walker return to punching dudes in the face and gas pedals to floor in Fast & Furious– not to be confused with The Fast and the Furious or what would have been the natural progression of the franchise name: More Fasterer and More Furiouser.

As to plot points, there’s not much to know. Feuding friends Dominic (Diesel) and Bryan (Walker) parted ways in the original, but find their paths crossing again in a tangle of tangled tangliness. This time, furious exploits involve a joint quest to put a righteous beatdown on a heroine importer, seducing chicks and keeping Hollywood’s Stuntman Union gainfully employed.

adventureland_xlgIn theaters less furious comes Adventureland, director Greg Mattola’s followup to last year’s Superbad. The mild comedy is winning nearly universal smiles as a sweet and charming reminiscence to summer jobs gone by. Still, Adventureland is rated “R”, replete with all the cursing and potty talk you knew and loved when you were a local amusement park employee.

Adventureland’s most recognizable name is star Kristin “Don’t call me Bella!” Stewart, but the shenanigans center around a recent college graduate (played by Jesse Eisenberg) who, after a string of unplanned disappointments, works and illegally smokes his problems into submission via summer employment at the Pennsylvania amusement park Adventureland. The film plays out circa 1987– the year I turned lucky 13 and asked Rachael Harris if she’d “go with me”– and also stars Andy’s ever-witty man-crush: Ryan Reynolds.
