Once rumored to be in the running for the reigns to The Hobbit, Sam Raimi has nonetheless nabbed his fantasy epic with a film adaptation of the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft. Known to shutins (and the family members who cry for them) across the globe, World of Warcraft follows hot elves, cow-men, armored bodybuilders and a bunch of other “Mage/Paladin” named avatars across a fantastical realm full of perverts, boob-oglers and mythical beasts. Along …

Back in the day, I snuck in a viewing of Nightmare on Elm Street thanks to free HBO at a hotel my family was staying at. That taught me not to be naughty– my sneaky viewing caused me a case of adolescent pants-pooping and a penchant for nightlights that I gave up only last month. The franchise ran its course and lost steam, but thanks to Platinum Dunes (Michael Bay’s little horror house) and their love for remaking iconic 80s …
So apparently, where I thought I was an internet maven, I’m a noob. I’ve never even heard of Derrick Comedy, a supposedly brilliant internet comedy troupe whose online skits have won praise and loyalty. In fact, they’re so popular they made a movie called Mystery Team about Bloodhound Gang wannabees who are now all growed up but remain childlike in their cluelessness. To be honest, the idea sounds like a lot of fun. Who didn’t concoct their own mystery/adventure club …
This is the International Trailer for Guy Ritchie’s new movie, “Sherlock Holmes,” due in theaters on Christmas Day. As you probably know, it stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and the lovely Rachel McAdams. As you watch the trailer you’ll probably recognize a few other Ritchie regulars, including Mark Strong (“RocknRolla,” “Body of Lies,” “Stardust”). I think the trailer is enough mix of substance and tease to make this a surefire hit come December 25th. I can also say, being …
I guess I was expecting something without a modern, sans-sarif font. But Jake Gyllenhall does look like the prince from the video games (an Anglo Saxonian in Persian clothes!) and the girl (Gemma Atterton) looks like she was able to wash all that crude oil from James Bond’s room off and put on some clothes. Excellente! In the mean time, I don’t know of these are real (I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they’re not) or variants or what, but …
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 …
“The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Especially you Jenny Beckman… Bitch.” With that, a certain contender for one of the year’s best films (so far) disconnects from the patently absurd formula of contemporary romantic comedies and plugs itself into a relevant reality. As the tag line suggests –in one of the best cases of honesty in advertising film has ever seen– (500) Days of Summer is not a love …
Scarlett Johansson is definitely Maxim-crowd drool-fodder, but her tight leather, red-haired role in the upcoming Iron Man 2 as Marvel Comics’ super-spy Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanov) is destined to propel her to an even greater height of unspeakable and deviant fawning: full-blown Nerd Lust. Poor Scarlett should have stuck with the modeling/singing gigs. Still, thanks be to Entertainment Weekly for busting out the first image of Scarlett “Ryan Reynolds is MY man, ANDY” Johansson, because sneak peeks are always …
