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.

All I can say is this: I “chip” you not. Oh, and this: The cutesy marketing braintrust that came up with these puntastic title needs to be sent to a lifeboat adrift in the Pacific so they can spread their stinky brand of cutesy cheer all over the face of a rabid shark. Still, Merry Christmas. Early.
Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar may not have a lot of notoriety outside certain film circles, but his work tends to get picked up by Hollywood and subjected to Americanized remakes. You can thank him for the surreal Vanilla Sky and the spooky The Others– both if which he wrote, one of which he directed (The Others). Alejandro’s latest (English spoken) film, the toga’d and sandalized Agora, which debuted at Cannes this week, stars Oscar winner Racheal Weisz and is all …
The Robert Downey Jr. lovefest has been in full swing since last year’s “Iron Man” and “Tropic Thunder,” and deservedly so. Downey Jr. has a natural charisma and fantastic acting chops that his drugged out years of disillusionment never stopped. Based on what I’ve seen in this “Sherlock Holmes” trailer, I have to say to both Downey Jr. and Guy Ritchie, “Bravo, sir.” This looks absolutely fantastic.
Mathematics have never been my thing– which makes the nonsensical and winning equation of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus explode into all kinds of sense: Sharks are rad. Lorenzo Lamas is lame. Deborah Gibson was once rad, but is now lame. The infinitely stalled Meg movie would have been rad, but the book is lame and Tentacles was never rad and always lame. In math-talk, that’s Sharks – Lamas – Gibson – Meg + Meg – Tentacles = 0 = …

Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing.” I had skipped class so I could sit by the computer and watch the new “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” trailer download via my free dial-up Internet connection. It took five hours and when the sparkly Lucasfilm logo appeared and “Every saga has a beginning…” scrolled by, I …
“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, …
I’m not big on conspiracies, which might have me holding a wet paper bag and blubbering my lips when the bottom falls out, but there’s just a thousand too many going around and my anxiety quotient is already capped. I do, however, notice some things– like when I go to the grocery store and grab a tray of chicken breasts, only to get them home and discover one breast is as big as my head. That might be good for …
