Take a break from work: watch a trailer… You know, I’ve yelled out loud that things are boring about a million times, and nothing like this ever happens to me. I’d be delighted to follow my destiny. As soon as my destiny deigns to show its face. C’mon, how long do I have to wait? … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Plan 9 Teaser Trailer from Darkstone Entertainment on Vimeo. So these guys from Darkstone Entertainment wanna remake the Ed Wood anti-classic Plan 9 from Outer Space, except as: a serious-minded retelling of the original story, paying homage to the spirit of Wood’s film without resorting to camp … more…
I really wish the U.K. box office numbers were available earlier in the week…: 1. Up: £6.4 million (NEW) 2. Zombieland: £1.2 million (NEW) 3. The Invention of Lying: £1.1 million (2nd week; drops 38%) 4. Fame: £.91 million (3rd week; drops 49%) 5. Love Happens: £.56 million (NEW) (actual numbers, not estimates) Unsurprisingly, the … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This is one of the more striking trailers I’ve seen in a long while. I certainly expect something visually dramatic from the film, which is the directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford: if we can’t expect visual drama from a fashion designer, what’s the point of … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s total bullshit, of course. No scene in this movie is supported by archive footage, though it does appear to be the case that Milla Jovovich appears in the film. This is all entirely invented, wholly fictional (the Anchorage Daily News did some investigating). But it’s spooky, … more…
Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. A new movie by Terry Gilliam, and Heath Ledger’s last starring role? Something not to be missed, surely… and now that I’ve seen it, it’s got my … more…
Geez, the week is half over already, but I’ve still got as many screenings ahead of me this week as I’ve got behind me. There’s too many damn movies opening in NYC this time of year, and I’m not even getting to anywhere near all of them. If follow me on Twitter or Facebook, then … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, man. I might just slit my wrists now and have it done with. You can always tells it’s awards season when the Serious Filums start coming along. Precious opens in the U.S. on November 6; no U.K. release date has been announced.
But zombies and mad science and sentient toys hold strong: 1. Couples Retreat: $34.3 million (NEW) 2. Zombieland: $14.8 million (2nd week; drops 40%) 3.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’ve already noted that I’m dreading this — in a good way — because the book is so unrelentingly brutal. And the trailer only intensifies that dread. I fully expect the usual concentrated passion from Viggo Mortensen, and Viggo’s been calling his kid costar, Kodi Smit-McPhee, the … more…
