Did you like Spider-Man 3? Sucker. OK, we can’t hold it against you. There’s some googly-eyed Sam Raimi ridiculousness going on in there that fares the loathed entry better than most of its ilk. Sure there was far too much going on and the studio’s insistence of shoe-horning Venom into the mix only served to dilute and make the whole thing ridiculous. That was because A) Raimi is a classic Spider-Man enthusiast who understands the old villains (Sandman, Doctor Octopus, …

There’s something loathsome about about the fabricated “family” films major studios putting out. You know the kind– dumbed down to oblivion, they feel like vapid, assembly lined back door attempts to make kids stupid. At once I feel guilty for saying that (they’re for kids, not me) and also right on target. Movies like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Aliens in the Attic, Bedtime Stories, Daddy Day Care, The Pacifier, etc. always deliver a lesson to be learned, but audiences of …
Sam Mendes has never directed a terrible movie. His resume is absolutely impeccable. His deft touch with American Beauty (1999), Road to Perdition (2002), Jarhead (2005), Revolutionary Road (2008), and Away We Go (2009) proves he is one of the best and brightest directors in Hollywood. To see Mendes attached to the next James Bond movie makes me absolutely antsy for what is sure to be a fast-tracked 2011 release. Mendes has an incredible eye for cumulative detail and a …
I just have two things to say about this trailer: 1. Sarah Jessica Parker has a penis. I’m sure of it. 2. This looks friggin’ stupid.
Content has been scarce here at AATM.com since the holidays began a few weeks ago and this week has been even worse since I’ve been pounded in the soft parts with some type of godforsaken virus that has left my sinuses stuffed and inflamed, my throat sore, and given me a greasy Dirty Sanchez beard akin to something out of a Vietnam POW camp. Worst of all, being so congested makes me sound like a cross between Sylvester Stallone and …
If weekend estimates are accurate, Avatar is the box office champ for the third consecutive week, raking in an impressive post-holiday $68 million in domestic ticket sales. That puts its three week haul at $352 million and in 15th place on the highest grossing movies list. Now the “will it beat out The Dark Knight and Titanic” money watch will begin in earnest. It would be interesting if it took 12 years and another James Cameron film to best Titanic’s …
Dan is headed off to the land of San Diego, which, as we all know, translates to “whale’s vagina” in German. So because I couldn’t decide between posting Cop Out or Hot Tub Time Machine, I’m going to post another Trailer Tuesday by proxy for ol’ Dan. I know this is what he would have wanted me to pick. I just have no words for what I see in this preview. Will it suck? Yes. Will it be absolutely banal …
There were times during this preview for Kevin Smith’s new film, Cop Out, that I laughed out loud, but mainly I kind of sighed and shrugged my shoulders and then crossed my fingers hoping this comedy will turn out better than it’s first trailer. Why? Because I like Bruce Willis and I enjoy Sean William Scott. Tracy Morgan, not so much. Cop Out, formally titled A Couple of Dicks, opens on February 26, 2010. Check out the trailer below and …
