I am not a Trekkie. I have never dressed up as a Klingon or, for that matter, any member of the U.S.S. Enterprise. I think the phaser is an effeminate weapon that doesn’t come close to sheer awesomeness of the lightsaber or a blaster. Yes, Spock’s ears bug the crap out of me, as such I’ve never said “live long and prosper” and might consider socking someone in the gut who did. Furthermore, with the exception of “The Wrath of …

I saw this posted over at The Movie Blog and had to post it here, as well. It’s from The Onion which has 100 percent better news than anything blaring on the “real” news right now. Anyhow, enjoy the clip below and happy Cinco de Mayo! Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’
Yawn. So MTV just announced the nominees for its largely pathetic annual movie marketing awards show. No big surprise here – “Twilight” racked up seven nominations, including Best Actress Who Really is a Huge Pothead and Shiny Skin My Butt Award (also known as the OMG! You Pasty Bastard! Award). I kid, of course, but really, that’s about how credible MTV’s golden popcorn trophies are in the realm of cinema. The only thing remotely good about the MTV Movie Awards …
“My Sister’s Keeper” hits theaters on June 26th and I’m a little ashamed to admit I completely missed this release while writing my Summer Movie Preview. I’m intrigued to say the least, but also befuddled at the absolute lack of vision on the part of the studio. Really, New Line Cinema – this is a summer release? You’re telling me a drama about a genetically engineered little girl who sues her parents in order to gain control over her body, …
We have Google Analytics installed on Andy at The Movies.com and it lets us know how many people are visiting the site, where they come from and whether or not we’re interesting enough to make them stick around. At this point, it would seem you like us. You really like us. But I didn’t come here today to drop ridiculously inept Sally Field Oscar speech nibblets in your swarthy beard. No, I came to share with you the horror of …
All my instincts tell me “Terminator Salvation” will utterly wallop “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” for Memorial Day box office bragging rights, but I’m beginning to have doubts. It’s a family holiday with start-of-the-season BBQs and trips to the cemetery to pay our respects to those gone before us. Judging by the box office receipts for oh, I don’t know, the last 30 years, many families count a trip to the theater as a tradition. Considering, even …
If you tuned into KVNU’s “Andy at the Movies” segment yesterday, you got to hear Mr. Dan Vinton go all Anakin Skywalker on Quentin Tarantino’s new late summer release, “Inglourious Basterds.” Dan says it’s a must miss, I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the movie looks fresh, original and darkly funny – all elements that have made Tarantino’s previous work golden. But I digress. Really, all I wanted to show you were three new-ish posters I stumbled upon this morning on …
Okay, hold your collective breaths because I know you’ve been waiting all week for this gem. Yes, below is the first “authorized” picture of Michael Myers from Rob Zombie’s “H2,” due in theaters in late August. Color me unimpressed and color me still not pining to see this remake. I still believe this is the kind of movie I would watch if I found myself the last person alive on Earth and it was the only thing playing – remarkably …
