I’m not sure if you knew this, but there’s a GI Joe movie coming out. It’s true! Some think it’s going to be a pile of salad garnished with cat poop. Others think it’s going to be the movie that validates a 30+ year men playing with toys made for 10 year olds. Others, namely the sage readers and editors of AATM, will wait until the movie comes out, then rub the aforementioned cat poop in its face. Or maybe …

With July well into its second half and August quickly approaching, it may be time to readjust the ultra-low expectations G.I. Joe’s trailers have been setting for the last few months. In fact, recent feedback from early screenings has been warm and cheery. That may not be saying much as of yet, but Ain’t It Cool News, Collider and Latino Review all have reader reviews who’ve seen the final product… and all are surprisingly positive. To be honest, I’m encouraged …
… of dead mother effin’ Nah-zees he can find! Inglourious Basterds and the advertising company it hired has some graphic artists working serious overtime (unpaid, of course… you’re salaried, suckers!). The Inglourious ones have pounded out no less than 18 posters. That’s 17 more than most other films, including My Sister’s Keeper. Think about it. Nonetheless, they’re all lovely, cheesy artifacts worthy of wall hanging. Enjoy the latest, which is, morbidly, probably my new favorite.
Seems like I’ve been pimping Kathryn Bigelow’s universally praised The Hurt Locker since time began. Way back in May I listed it as one of the summer’s Must Sees. Unfortunately, it’s been tough to catch a screening as it’s been rolling around in a very limited LA/New York release. Three cheers for small miracles as The Hurt Locker opens a little wider this weekend and has Salt Lake City listed as one of the fortunate cities it’s shacking up with. …
I’ve seen posters and teasers for the Peter Jackson-produced and Neill Blomkamp-directed “District 9,” but until this new, longer trailer was released I had no burning desire, except for Blomkamp and Jackson’s involvement in the Halo motion picture project, to see this sci-fi flick based on Blonkamp’s short film “Alive in Joburg.” This new two minute preview paints a richer, deeper and more revealing look at what seems to be a visually stunning, tense, action-packed, intelligent film. I say this …
“Funny People,” the third film from director Judd Apatow (“The 40 Year-Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up”), is one movie I’ve been anticipating since the first trailer hit the web several months back. The movie releases on July 31 and this evening I came across the just-released redband trailer – it sat there staring at me in all its R-rated goodness, like the Playboy magazine you find when you’re a kid and know, without a doubt, you should not be looking …
I loved the movie “Juno.” In fact, I adored it. I wanted to hug it and snuggle with it. Jason Bateman was his usually snarky self, Ellen Page was loveable and snappy, Michael Cera was, um, Michael Cera, and the supporting cast, from Jennifer Garner to Allison Janney to J.K. Simmons and Olivia Thirlby added nothing but oodles of fantastic to this Jason Reitman (“Thank You for Smoking”) film. But despite all that, the movie only succeeds because of the brilliance …
On the surface, the new comedy “Couples Retreat” looks like the only thing it’s missing is Robin Williams and John Travolta (or William H. Macy and Martin Lawrence), but I can’t overlook three things: One, that I laughed through the entire trailer. Two, the case is pure comedy gold – from the stars to the supporting actors. Three, it’s written by Vince Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers”) and John Favreau (“Iron Man”). I don’t think you can discount a film as a …
