Rob Zombie directed a remake of the 1978 horror classic “Halloween” that was met with tepid box office results in 2007. Apparently the studio was so thrilled to see it’s money flushed down the toilet, they greenlit a sequel, called “H2” and it’s hitting theaters this August. Click this link to get your first look at the somewhat-creepy trailer. I haven’t seen Zombie’s remake, but I have seen “The Devil’s Rejects,” so I’d expect gore, nudity and lots of bad …

Universal Pictures emailed me this one sheet for Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie “Brüno,” due in theaters on July 10,2009. That’s two days before my birthday, so I suppose I can expect a Borat-sized gift of male nudity, dominatrix outfits, akwardly humorous bits involving unsuspecting real-life people (see: Ron Paul) and probably enough hype over perceived offensiveness to fill a summer’s worth of blog posting. Yay! Happy birthday to me! To see a bigger version, click here.

I love movies. Period. But there is nothing I love more than filthy dude comedies. This little gem, “The Hangover,” is from director Todd Phillips and, in my opinion, Mr. Phillips needs of a hearty swathe of redemption since, no lie, everything he’s made since “Old School” has turned out to be utter crap. If you want to argue that point, I humbly suggest you re-watch “School for Scoundrels” and “Starsky & Hutch.”
Ever since I saw Shane Acker’s short film “9” last year, I have been Spike Jonezing for the full length feature due in theaters on September 9th. For history’s sake, Acker’s computer animated short was nomiated for an Oscar in 2005 and if you haven’t seen the short film, watch it by following this link. If you haven’t seen the trailer for the movie, you can see it here. The film version is produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov …
My enthusiasm for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” just multiplied in a massive way after watching this clip from ShoWest. But really, would – no, can I, expect anything less explosive and bombastic from Michael Bay? I dare say, no. Check out the footage below and circle June 24th on your calendars.
Out today is a new trailer for “Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.” I must admit, I haven’t read any of the Harry Potter books, nor shall I ever, but I have enjoyed all the films for the most part. And this, the sixth Potter film, looks to be equally impressive, especially from the tasty snippets divulged in this new trailer. As a side note, as reported earlier, “The Half-Blood Prince” opens on July 15th and is rated PG. Check …
Academy Award-winning director, and veritable hottie, Sofia Coppola is reuniting with Focus Features, the company behind her highly decorated “Lost in Translation,” for her next feature entitled “Somewhere.” Coppola both was the writer/director for “Lost in Translation” and won an Oscar for best original screenplay. She will be writer/director for “Somewhere,” as well. According to the Focus Features press release, “Somewhere,” set in Los Angeles, “is the story of Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff), a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life …
