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. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is about a not-so-mad scientist who develops a process to make food rain from the sky, among other wacky inventions. Like … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… So the guys who did Crank and Crank: High Voltage — Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor — are back… and it looks a lot like a lot of other shit we’ve seen before, doesn’t it? Prisoners forced to play bloodsports? A game that’s really real? Gee, why … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh my god, that’s Sam Rockwell as “Bronco.” Of course, before the trailer even got to that point, I was doubled over in pain from laughter. I’ve been to science fiction conventions. I know these people. I’ve been eagerly awaiting whatever Jared Hess — he of Napoleon … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Steven Soderbergh has a new movie, and it’s a comedy — a dark comedy — about corporate crime.

Just like week I invented an imaginary supervillain for whom Play-Doh: The Motion Picture, Boggle: The Movie, and Trivial Pursuit: The Next Generation seemed beyond the pale, something only the depths of his depravity could … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… See, this is what constitutes a “bad boy” these day: he smokes and doesn’t give a shit if the people around him would prefer to avoid lung cancer — which they won’t, because everyone is tired of The Man telling everyone which corporations can’t exploit them anymore! … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I still contend that Jim Sturgess is gonna be a huge star — he was amazing in Across the Universe — but maybe not for this movie. Not that the movie may not be fine; I just don’t see a story about an Irish man who goes … 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. Sherlock Holmes is Guy Ritchie’s reinterpretation of the world’s first consulting detective — we’re promised lots of action. Like this, I guess: Warner Bros. tells us: In … more…
