If you’ve seen Iron Man 2 in theaters, then you’ve seen the teaser trailer for the new J.J. Abrams movie, Super 8. There’s not much we can ascertain and glean from this one minute and thirty second spot, but I could give a rat’s bahookey – this is how teaser trailer’s are supposed to look. Take a peek below if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, and we’ll keep you posted on any story details, but for now all we …

We’ve been banging the “this summer’s cinema offerings suck” drum pretty steadily for the last month now, both on AATM and on the radio and I think Splice, a 2010 Sundance Film Festival entry is a great example of how non-exciting the summer of 2010 appears. I’m not saying Splice is going to being a crappy movie, I’m just saying when your June 4th weekend is headlined by Get Him to the Greek, Killers, Marmaduke and Splice my excitement is …
Piranha 3-D looks like a lot of fun. It looks like blood, guts, boobies and action. And those attributes make Piranha 3-D exactly the kind of campy stage to showcase a gimmicky, has-been, still-not-impressive movie technique that is making a comeback, and hopefully a quick death, with 2010’s landing in all things 1980s. Yeah, I hate 3-D. So does Roger Ebert. And – gasp! – I even hate 3-D in Avatar. Suck on that, James Cameron. 3-D belongs in animated …
With all the Halo movie on again/off again, maybe it’s on, “Maybe we’ll make it but only we know when” teasery that’s been going on for the last half decade or so, you’d think everyone would have just given up on the franchise that may still be minting million dollar bills, but whose momentum and fascination is fast drying up. Reality is that Halo‘s fanbase– bump from the upcoming Reach aside– has shifted into longtail. Sure, there’s the hardcore Halo …
Buried has a simple premise: Being buried alive would suck. Being buried alive in Iraq would be even suckier. Debuted at Sundance ’10 and picked up by Lionsgate for a fall release, Buried follows a U.S. civilian (Ryan Reynolds) who is buried in the Iraqi desert after his contractor outfit is attacked. Word is, the film mostly takes place in the box, but is loaded with twists and turns– which should make both claustrophobic and twistaphobic audiences all kinds of …
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse got a brand new trailer today – unveiled on Oprah – and while there isn’t any “I’ll fight for you until your heart stops beating” lines of love from six-packed lycans, there are certainly enough WTF moments to cause the Twitarded folks to scratch their heads and drool, which means there is enough nerd candy for the Twihards to suck on until June 30. I count myself, luckily, as Twilight illiterate, so I honestly had no …
You’d think with all the sunny weather we’ve had in Utah over the last two weeks I’d be doing cartwheels and salivating at the prospects of summer weather right around the corner. But no, I’ve been one cranky SOB and nothing is riling me up more than 2010’s summer movie slate. I’m fairly sure my must-see list can be counted on one hand and I’m similarly confident my must-miss list is overweight with moronic crap, like the trailer below for …
I said on the radio last Friday this upcoming summer movie slate is going to suck the sweat of a dead man’s balls and I’m not budging from that stance. Still, there are some interesting specks of hope dotting the cinematic landscape from May to August. One of those is The Other Guys, directed and co-written by Adam McKay (the dude behind Anchorman, Talladega Nights and Step Brothers), and stars Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne “Don’t Call …
