The winds of change sweep into every avenue of our lives without regard to time or place. It can be the passing of a dear friend, a change in ideology religiously or politically, marriage, a new baby, a new job, or something seemingly inconsequential, such as hairstyles, fashion and music. But one thing will never change as long as Father Time keeps tick-tocking away: High school sucks. Some will disagree. They’ll say their four years of high school were nothing …

Unexpectedly pleasant movies are always a nice surprise. After Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball‘s lackluster marketing efforts and a string of mediocre trailers, I’d all but written it off. Oops. Totally unfamiliar with the children’s book of the same name, I went in to Sony Animation’s Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs with an unattached blank slate– a slate quickly loaded with a congenial array of off-center comedy and LOL zing. Who knew? Cloudy barrels forward with a technicolor …
Jennifer’s Body arrives not as simply a tongue-through-cheek horror film aimed at enticing the teen crowd, but also loaded with a hat-trick of questions: 1) Is Diablo Cody (writer of Juno and Showtime’s United States of Tara) a 2-hit wonder? 2) Does Megan Fox have an acting career beyond Transformers? and 3) Is the movie any good? The answer: probably not, kind of and not really. In move-geek circles, a lot’s been made of the fact Oscar Winning screenwriter Diablo …
A couple of things to know before clicking play on this trailer. First, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is the name of a book by Tucker Max, published back in 2006. Max’s dirty memoir of drunkenness, sex and irreverent, irrational behavior has spawned a new genre of, um, literature called “fratire.” The trailer below is for the movie coming to theaters on September 25, 2009. It is a redband trailer. For you redband virgins, that means swearing, nudity …
Not long ago, we shared the trailer for the quirky, funny, golden-cast The Men Who Stare at Goats. It’s pure sell, magic and win-win… and I haven’t even seen it yet. So what’s up with all the premature prognosticating? This poster. Sure, it may be a liiiiittle too Burn After Reading-esque, but those hairy new age faces, peacefully smiling at the honor of serving both country and The Age of Aquarius, are sublime.
This is the teaser poster for what surely will be the highest grossing Pixar movie ever? For Toy Story 3? Who designed this? Seriously. It looks like an intern at Pixar barfed this out. I mean, I know times are tough and the economy is poop, but last I looked Hollywood raked in a record $4.18 billion at the box office this summer, so you’d think they could afford to put a little more thought and love into the teaser …
This is such a non-story I almost didn’t publish this post, but hey, who doesn’t love Indiana Jones, right? Even after George Lucas and Steven Spielberg took a big dump on the Indy franchise with Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I still get a little giddy when thinking of more Indy adventures. So, here is exactly what Harrison Ford said about the likelihood of Indiana Jones V: The story for the new Indiana Jones is in …
At first glance, the cast for Disney’s A Christmas Carol, directed by Robert Zemeckis (The Polar Express, Forrest Gump, Back to the Future) looks fantastic. You have Jim Carrey (Yes Man), Colin Firth (Mama Mia!), Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight), Robin Wright Penn (State of Play), Michael J. Fox (Stuart Little), Bob Hoskins (Doomsday) and Cary Elwes (The Alphabet Killer). But then so did the cast for Beowulf, Zemeckis last film and his last venture into the photorealistic 3D animation …
