You may remember Andy’s note from a few weeks ago when Fox announced it would be screening a chunk of James Cameron’s Avatar in select IMAX 3D Theaters across the country (and wooooooorld!). In a pretentiously named move to make an event out of a film whose hype machine seems to be getting a very, very slow start in creating general audience awareness (or even gernal anticipation), 20th Century Fox has now assigned a date to “Avatar Day” and it’s… …

I won’t make any apologies for lusting after Kate Beckinsale. I just won’t. If she showed up and my door in her get-up from Underworld and Underworld 2, I wouldn’t even bother flipping a coin. And given my wife’s love of vampire movies, I’m pretty sure she’d just let me go at that point, maybe even with a “good luck” or something like that. Irregardless, Miss Beckinsale is yummy in both the trailer (which showed before G.I. Joe: The Rise …
This might be the most annoying yet entertaining trailer I’ve ever seen. I rode the entire 1:40 out simultaneously laughing and wanting to bash my head in with a hammer. What you see below is a preview for the new movie from Joel and Ethan Coen, another black comedy written, directed and produced by the pair. The story is about a Jewish professor living in a Minneapolis suburb, who, despite his best efforts to be a “serious man,” is plummeting …
I may not have said it before, but I’ll say it again anyway: Satan abounds in the hearts of those not moved by the trailers for Where the Wild Things Are. That may be going a little far, but I’m big time into hyperbole, so it stands. In what seems like just yesterday, when the first WTWTA trailer hit, I had this to say: “Viewing the just-released trailer now– two years later– I couldn’t be more enchanted with the potential …
If you’re like me you are absolutely dying for the November 20th release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Time can’t move swiftly enough for me to reconnect with Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and to spend a little more time with that hunky, eventually-shafted lycan, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). And when I say I’m absolutely dying to see the sequel to last year’s Twilight, I really mean I’d rather spend two days stapled to my couch watching a marathon …
You may not have heard, but despite poor, poor, poor, poor, poor buzz, GI Joe did pretty well this last weekend and enjoyed almost $60 million hard earned American dollars shoved into its battle-ready G-string. Internationally, Joe did even more– $100 million in Francs, Euros, Pounds, Yen and other assorted monetaries worth more than the dollar. I’d like to say GI Joe‘s success came from the fact Andy and I really enjoyed its ridiculous silliness, so I will. As a …
There is nothing I would love more than to see my beloved Halo come to the big screen. As I noted in a previous post, the Halo universe is fairly intricate and most people – keyword, most – aren’t familiar with the backstory depth and detail that hardcore Halo fans have come to love. But if you remember, I said last month the Peter Jackson produced, Neill Blomkamp version is dead and buried. Like hot girls that give you the …
Everyone knows by now of John Hughes death the other day, so instead of crafting some long-winded eulogy about Hughes’ place in cinema history, I figured it better to post one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite John Hughes movies – Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Beware: There are several f-words in this clip, but this exchange between Steve Martin and Edie McClurg is absolutely classic.
