Yes, I know The Hangover exceeded expectations. Yes, I know I’m in the minority for giving it two stars. But that wasn’t because this gold-plated impromptu piano ditty. Unfortunately, to make it all-ages appropriate, the trailer sloppily cuts the abrupt, song concluding s-bomb, which is really what made the song all the more endearing. Cussing or not, this sweet number reminds me of an Andy Samberg/Adam Sandler/Jimmy Fallon sing-along and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. Please, meditate in the …

Better late than never. Just when I think I’d rather take Indian burns to the tenders than endure more of Will Ferrell’s deadpan-obvious doofus shtick, I forgo the pain of a thousand suns and willingly settle into comedic familiarity. Which means A) I’m not as tired of Will Ferrell as I thought, or B) Will Ferrell remains funny despite diminishing returns. After viewing Land of the Lost, I’m convinced it’s “B”. If you didn’t exist in the magical time period …
So Up retained the number one spot at the box office this weekend with a $44.2 million take, giving a Three Stooge slap, bonk and poke to The Hangover (if just barely) and kicking Will Ferrell and Land of the Lost where they might not have deserved it most- right in the pruney. Which goes to prove Andy and Dan are both prophetic. Or good guessers. Or a couple dudes who can simply state the obvious. Let’s go with the …
So the Final Destination series is really great at tension. In fact, they’re tension factories. Still, they’re kinda dumb. But dumb in the sense that horror aficionados can love it, since the whole premise is taking their arch enemies– IE nondescript young people with modeling contracts– and building a better blunt/sharp object mousetrap to punish them with. And, with no villain but death, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. In 3D, even. Juicy. The trailer for the fourth installment …
As it turns out, The Hangover just wasn’t my shot of Jagermeister. At first, I thought was getting old– that my freewheeling and marginally shameful appreciation of frat-tastic humor was giving way to wrinkly, age-spotted prudery. However, about twenty minutes into The Hangover, I realized I wasn’t experiencing a sudden onset of geriatric clucking— I simply realized I was watching the exploits of men who become brash man-children when exposed to additional testosterone, increased blood-alcohol levels and the prospect of …
Actually, this is isn’t so much a “pick” or a “trailer” as it is a rhetorical roll of the eyes and embarrassed headshake at this MTV Movie Awards clip of GI Joe. I know the posting is getting redundant. I’m sorry.
But not just any shield. A shield cobbled from the very bowels of Zeuss himself. Actually, I can’t remember and totally made that part up, but this is a picture of Sam “I’m the the new hotness” Worthington as Perseus in the “coming along very nicely, thank you” remake of Clash of the Titans. The image comes from UK based uber-movie mag Empire as scanned by /Film and as quickly propagated across the internet by everyone. Take that, exclusivity. The …
As much as we love writing on AATM, we also like opening our big, opinionated traps on the radio. If you didn’t know, Andy and I appear every Friday on KVNU with Tyler Riggs and Marc Neilson (and Whitney the Movie Show intern!). We’re kinda stoked to announce the show has been expanded to one full hour and has gained a new sponsor: Bajio Mexican Grill. Which, incidentally, is delicious. You might think I’m hyping Bajio because they’re now sponsoring …
