I don’t know what 80s horror movie fetish Michael Bay has going on, but he’s at it again, producing the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, coming to theaters this April. Despite a great casting choice with Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen) as Freddy Kruger, I have no doubt this movie will make some coin and then fade into the Hall of Suck with the rest of Bay’s scary remakes. Yeah, in case you’ve forgotten, he’s remade The Amityville Horror, …

Not a lot of posting this week at AATM.com and for good reason. Well, sorta. You see on Tuesday, Bungie and Microsoft released the fourth game in the Halo franchise, Halo 3: ODST, and, well, I’ve been a little busy killing jackals, brutes, grunts, hunters and traversing the Las Vegas-like streets of New Mombassa. I offer no apologies. I am a Halo nerd. At any rate, I leave you with a live-action preview for the ODST game below. Oh, yeah, …
For the most part, I don’t hate holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day and their brethren are all good. They mean days off from work, sleeping in and general de-stressing from the daily grind. In fact, if we really want to shift the morale of the United States citizenry from crap to springtime, we should add more time-off-from-work holidays to the calendar. Still, I won’t lie, I do hate Valentine’s Day. Probably because you don’t get the day off, and …
A few years ago a movie was made by Oren Peli called Paranormal Activity, sort of like The Blair Witch Project sans the trees and the witch. The movie follows a couple living in San Diego who buy some video equipment to film the spooks and specters they believe are haunting their house. Obviously not a smart move because, really, who in the hell wants to know what kind of mysterious shenanigans are happening whilst they sleep? Not me. DreamWorks bought Peli’s …
The winds of change sweep into every avenue of our lives without regard to time or place. It can be the passing of a dear friend, a change in ideology religiously or politically, marriage, a new baby, a new job, or something seemingly inconsequential, such as hairstyles, fashion and music. But one thing will never change as long as Father Time keeps tick-tocking away: High school sucks. Some will disagree. They’ll say their four years of high school were nothing …
A couple of things to know before clicking play on this trailer. First, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is the name of a book by Tucker Max, published back in 2006. Max’s dirty memoir of drunkenness, sex and irreverent, irrational behavior has spawned a new genre of, um, literature called “fratire.” The trailer below is for the movie coming to theaters on September 25, 2009. It is a redband trailer. For you redband virgins, that means swearing, nudity …
This is the teaser poster for what surely will be the highest grossing Pixar movie ever? For Toy Story 3? Who designed this? Seriously. It looks like an intern at Pixar barfed this out. I mean, I know times are tough and the economy is poop, but last I looked Hollywood raked in a record $4.18 billion at the box office this summer, so you’d think they could afford to put a little more thought and love into the teaser …
This is such a non-story I almost didn’t publish this post, but hey, who doesn’t love Indiana Jones, right? Even after George Lucas and Steven Spielberg took a big dump on the Indy franchise with Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I still get a little giddy when thinking of more Indy adventures. So, here is exactly what Harrison Ford said about the likelihood of Indiana Jones V: The story for the new Indiana Jones is in …
