Andy Samberg’s original Saturday Night Live skit, Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals, was absolutely hilarious. This second go around, Mark Wahlberg Talks to Christmas Animals? Not so much. Nevertheless, I post it below and look forward to you joining me in a chorus of “Yes, Andy, you are absolutely right.” I appreciate them bringing it back. I do. But it didn’t have the same wallop as the first go-around. Happy Monday. Say hi to your mother for me.

I’m not dying to see From Paris with Love, but I will admit, a bald-headed, foul-mouthed, nasty John Travolta is much better than the goofy, hair-plugged Travolta in Wild Hogs and Old Dogs. From Paris with Love is directed by Pierre Morel and also stars Johnathan Rhys Meyers (Mission: Impossible III) and hits theaters on February 5, 2010. Morel was the director of last year’s Taken, starring Liam Neeson. According to IMDB.com, he is set to direct the remake of …
Box office totals won’t be confirmed until Monday, but as of right now Avatar again crushed its competition, hauling in $48.5 million dollars over the weekend, moving James Cameron’s sci-fi epic into seventh place on the all-time highest grossing list (domestic box office, not adjusted for inflation). Sherlock Holmes and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel were a distant second and third with $16,610,000 and $16,300,000 respectively. Daybreakers and It’s Complicated rounded out the top five with $15 and $11 …
I so wanted to write “New Kick-Ass Trailer Kicks Ass,” but I swore a vow not to write vomit-inducing headlines on Fridays. But man oh man, I cannot wait for April. Seriously. How awesome does this movie look? What’s not to like about bloody violence, teenage shennanigans and little girls who swear like sailors? Wait, that sounds like any night on XBOX Live. At any rate, check out the first full-length trailer for Kick-Ass and, as always, give us your …
I’ve been in a bad mood for the last few days, so I thought I’d follow my Best of the Decade article from earlier this week with a look back at 2009’s worst films. Then I realized that admist all my 2010 celebrations, I’d neglected to list the best of 2009 as well. I’m sure, like everything in the world of film, these are debatable. One person’s nightmare is another’s wet dream, so while I wanted to commit hara-kiri during …

It’s just a minute and a half teaser and it’s reaaaalllly low-res, but I have to admit, The A-Team could be pretty cool. I’m not saying it will be sweet, I’m just saying it could be. As soon as a hi-res version is online, we’ll get it up and posted for you’re viewing pleasure. As for the film, it hits theaters on June 11, 2010 and stars Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Face, Quentin “Rampage” Jackson as B.A. …
Amy Adams’ (Julie & Julia) new movie, Leap Year, wasn’t even on my radar until I caught the preview while watching Nothing But Trailers on HDNet while I was languishing at home with some sort of Satanic flu-cold-sinus disease that thoroughly jacked up my post-holiday vacation. Honestly, even after watching the trailer it still wasn’t on my movies-to-see list and I figured it was coming out in February. It looked like that kind of movie. I don’t remember much after …
