It was decades ago– in Hollywood release schedule years– when Star Trek lens flared its way to theaters back in May. There’s no question the resuscitation attempt worked– the movie delivered fun to audiences and a whole lot of loot for Paramount. But despite the good times had with a bombastic score and the return of busty green alien chicks that would later shoot exploding arrows, one question remained: what the hell was the villain Nero doing for the 20 …

UPDATE: THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED BY PARAMOUNT PICTURES. SORRY! Hurry and watch this now, because I’m betting this will be gone within a few hours. If you’ve seen Paranormal Activity, then you know how the movie ends in theaters, but below is the original “alternate” ending for Paranormal Activity. I can appreciate what Oren Peli is trying to do in this alternate version, but the ending now in theaters is by far the creepiest and better finale to the …
Apparently, it’s Star Wars day… or we’ve become The Movie Blog. Either way, I’m sorry. Nevertheless! There’s a fun project running on the content site Vimeo called Star Wars Uncut. It’s a fan-video compendium that takes the original Star Wars (I will not call it Episode IV: A New Hope– nyah!), chops its 121 minutes into 15-second segments. Fans then pick a segment, film it on their own and upload it. When it’s all said and done, you’ve got 121 …
Both 2012 and it’s film prequel, 2012, march steadily closer. One will entertain us in a thrill-ride of white-knuckled apocalyptic escapism. The other will explode the earth and send us burning, drowning, suffocating and crushed to an early grave. Can’t wait! While 2012 (The Movie!) holds no allure for me –as no massive annihilation spectacle has since 9-11/New Orleans/ Thailand/China– it sure does pack a lot of spectacle. The sheer amount of destruction is a feat of modern CGI science …
Aaaaand I’m one of them. I don’t have much to say, beyond once again, we have a live action commercial showing why Halo would make, at the very least, a fantastic war movie. As a commercial for the upcoming expansion to Halo 3: ODST, this trailer is nothing less than a quick shot of adrenaline. I don’t have much more to say than Andy’s said here and here, but I’ll be watching this in HD over and over and over …
While its trailer is trying to sell a movie that its not, The Road remains one of my more anticipated Fall Movies. Dimension has released heapload of scenes from the film– scenes which try their damndest to relay the bleak tone that dominates the book. While film could never match the poetic images as inscribed in your brain by Cormac McCarthy’s haunting, grim (yet humanist) tale, it may come close. Below is a disturbing scene that’s also pretty arresting, so …
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.
I’m not sure if you knew this, but there’s a GI Joe movie coming out. It’s true! Some think it’s going to be a pile of salad garnished with cat poop. Others think it’s going to be the movie that validates a 30+ year men playing with toys made for 10 year olds. Others, namely the sage readers and editors of AATM, will wait until the movie comes out, then rub the aforementioned cat poop in its face. Or maybe …
