Take a break from work: watch a trailer… So is the crossed-over Jonah Hex basically Jesus? He raises that one guy from the dead… This is not a possibility I was expecting from this movie. (I’m not familiar with the source material — maybe there’s a Jesus-y thing in there?) Jesus was pretty much a … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The cute! It burns! Tiny little wild kitty baby bedraggled and shivery in the rain? I dyin’ here… African Cats opens in the U.S. and Canada on April 22, 2011; no U.K. release date has been announced.
Have you read any of Stephen King’s series The Dark Tower? No? Imagine if Clint Eastwood and James Joyce collaborated on a trippy fantasy about the mystical quest of a gunslinger. It’s weird and fascinating and has inspired a cultish following (and I really need to read more of the series [Amazon U.S.] [Amazon Canada] … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Remember those old ads that used to ask, “Is it live, or is is Memorex?” Movies like this one make me wonder, Is it satire, or just a calculated appropriation of the notion? Razing a forest to make way for a forest-themed mall is a good idea, … more…
Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. “Dude, it totally says you can’t park there!”: Universal Pictures tells us about the movie: Oscar winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure … more…
In the name of the protagonist, the love interest, and the evil villain. The trinity: always a good choice, apparently, when marketing a movie. It doesn’t matter what kind of movie. A Western action horror zombie thriller? Perfect! An anti-imperialist feminist costume drama? No problem! Does the motif work for nonhistorical films? Of course!
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Heh: Girls are dumb. They can’t even count to three. Heh heh. OMG, it’s like a 1992 action movie crashed into an idiotic rom-com. Secret agents at the wedding? High-larious! Girls in hideous bridesmaids’ dresses screaming during a car chase? High-larious! Don’t let anyone tell you Tom … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen in the same movie? Is that even legal? Shouldn’t audiences be protected from that kind of thing? And did I not just say that Zoe Saldana is in freakin’ everything at the moment? When does the girl sleep? This trailer makes me … more…
James Cameron is not through sucking the money right out of your bank account. You’ve already made Avatar the moneymakingest movie ever at the box office (unadjusted for inflation, of course, because no one wants to say that Scarlett O’Hara kicks Na’vi ass). You’ve already made the DVD and blu-ray the biggest selling release ever. … more…
