Everybody wants to be like Neo: That Inception poster is reminding me of another film: it’s on the tip of my mind, but I can’t quite grasp it. And at least that Matrix poster that it’s aping isn’t one of the really iconic ones. Disney seems to really, really hope you’ll think of Neo’s quest … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… We learned back in March that Disney was suddenly terrified of princess movies, and so was changing the title of its Rapunzel movie from, you know, Rapunzel to Tangled. And now we see how far the Mouse is going to de-girl the movie with this trailer. In … more…
I so needed a laugh today. And then I came across a USA Today article from a couple days back called “Next ‘Transformers’ is due for a switch,” which had me snorting with derision all the way through. You can almost hear writer Anthony Breznican snickering in places. Listen: With shooting underway on a third … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… You have to admire Roger Nygard. He took on Trekkies, and that was confounding enough. And now he’s taking on everything. That take balls. The Nature of Existence opens in New York on June 18, in Los Angeles on July 2, and will expand throughout July. No … more…
I attended a press screening recently — one held in a large multiplex, not a small screening room — during which the gaggle of studio employees sitting to my right proceeded to spend the entire movie texting, the nuclear glow of the screens of their smartphones blazing in the darkness of the theater.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’ve been scolded already for not understanding the appeal of Scott Pilgrim, and I think I can pretty much promise those scolders that if this trailer is representative of the film, I will continue not to understand the appeal of it. Cuz it looks like yet another … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Looks wonderfully gruesome. Director Christopher Smith previously made the brutally funny horror comedy Severance. This new film of his doesn’t seem to share that sense of humor. But it does have Sean Bean! Black Death opens today in the U.K.; no U.S. or Canadian release dates have … more…
I’m not sure if Les Grossman, the foul-mouthed Hollywood producer Tom Cruise brought to hilairous life in Tropic Thunder, is such a good idea to star in his own movie, but it’s happening whether we like it or not. Via EW: Stiller released this statement today: “Les Grossman’s life story is an inspiring tale of … more…
…that Inception is the only movie worth looking forward to this summer. I look out across the summer slate, and I see an endless array of sequels, retreads, adaptations from other media, grossout comedies, etc. Among the wide releases, that is. There are always potentially interesting foreign films and indies on offer, at least for … more…
U.S. AND CANADA/OPENING WIDE The A-Team: A stirring drama of wrongly convicted patriots who get mad and kick some ass. If you can’t make it to the multiplex, try: • The A-Team (1983-1987): The entire series is newly available in a cool new box set. • The Great Escape (1963): This Steve McQueen military classic … more…
