The Mayans and Roland Emmerich think the world is going to blow up in 2012 and they might be right, but I’m hoping it goes down the pooper sooner, because Mother Earth exploding might be the only way to halt Hollywood’s dog-in-heat leg humping of 3D. It was announced today the Men in Black franchise is return for a third outing, this time in 3D. It’s tentatively set for a May 25, 2012 release date. And, surprise, the film will …

Lindsay Lohan. Sigh. What a train wreck. She started off so promising in Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, but now she’s the epitome of tabloid gossip and fodder for ridicule and mockery in every avenue of the media. And while celebrities can’t necessarily stop the paparazzi from hounding them, they certainly can avoid any bad behavior that acts as blood in the water for the camera-toting sharks. Lohan’s drug and alcohol issues, arrests, car wrecks and all the issues with …
JibJab is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by letting you cut and paste your mug into one of their silly “starring you” shenanigans. I have a fondness for JibJab dating back to the 2004 presidential election and their popular “This Land” musical take on John Kerry and George W. Bush’s fight for the White House. At any rate, I slapped myself in as Lando, Dan as Han and brought some supporting cast in to …
In the event you haven’t heard, Chris Nolan must have Inception almost completely tied up: all of a sudden Batman 3 is scheduled for a July 2012 release date. As is, that’s a very quick turnaround schedule for a big film we haven’t heard much of anything about for the last two years. Batman Begins to Dark Knight had the benefits of a three year production schedule– Batman 3 gets two. While a lot of the casting is already in …
As much as I give the middle finger to the much-maligned Star Wars prequels, I won’t deny a soft spot in my heart for the universe George Lucas spawned in 1977. Despite Lucas’ best attempts, no amount of Jar Jar Binks silliness, wooden acting and Saturday Morning CGI could keep me from loving the original trilogy, specifically A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. This adoration for the galaxy far, far away is why I promise you I will …
“We’re going to make a movie when the time is right.” Oh, boy, how many times have we heard this line in regards to the oft-anticipated, never-gonna-materialize Halo movie? So many times that I don’t believe anything that comes out of Frank O’ Connor’s mouth about a supposed movie, and frankly, at this point, I don’t give a rat’s ass. I’ve moved on. Halo can suck it. Instead, I’m pining for other video game movies. Like what you ask? I’ll …
Whether you’re headed to the theater this weekend or want to pick up what’s new on DVD and Blu-ray, we hope you’ll use AATM.com as your springboard for all things entertainment. It helps us buy a few McDonald’s lunches from time-to-time. At any rate, if you’re headed to see Clash of the Titans or The Last Song (or maybe How to Train Your Dragon) skip the box office lines and buy movie tickets in advance at Fandango.com. If you want …
I have made no secret of my love for Roger Ebert and his writing. Notice I didn’t say movie reviews or critiques. Mr. Ebert and I don’t always see eye-to-eye, but his reviews are always a pleasure to read. He is articulate, funny and knows his stuff. Even with all his health problems, he is sharp and upbeat and flowing with life. I was reading his review of Hot Tub Time Machine when I came across this gem of a …
