Not too long ago, Andy gave you the sad news that The Wolf Man, the tender coming of age story about a man, his wolf bite and the people he subsequently gnaws to death, would be pushed back from a fall release to the depressing and bitter-cold wasteland of winter 2010. You yawned. But that’s OK! Despite it’s setback, the trailer for the period-set Wolf Man revival has arrived, begging the question: Why did werewolf transformations look so much better …

With just a few months before its release, James Cameron’s Avatar— the “event” film most general movie going audiences should have been talking about six months ago as far as 20th Century Fox is concerned– has received a trailer. The whole film is still an enigma, so I’m not sure that giving a non-narrated encapsulation of the film is the best way to explain the plot to folks unfamiliar with it, or whether this film even looks as revolutionary as …
Oh, man! Qui-Gon Jinn is pissed in this trailer for The Other Man. And why wouldn’t he be? First he’s got to rescue his spoiled rotten daughter in Taken, and now he learns his wife, played by Laura Linney (The Savages), is having sexytime with Antonio Banderas (The Legend of Zorro). On first glance, this looks like the writers from the aforementioned Taken linked up with the creative masterminds behind Unfaithful and pounded out a script for this your-having-an-affair-with-my-wife-and-now-I’m-going-to-stalk-you thriller. …
Gerard Butler’s not the man he used to be. Oh, sure- he’s got that rough and foreign (ie: sexy) Scottish brogue that’s 100% guaranteed to turn an average looking dude into a musky, bodice-shredding fantasy– but let’s face it: Since 300, dude’s really let himself go. He’s gotta be pushing 185 at least… …which now allows him to play the “everyman”- the everyman hard at work on nailing that American accent which he’s awlmost gaaaaawt thanks to a recent string …
Jared Hess. A man birthed from the Mormon Movie massacre of 2002-2004 and shot from the cannon of obscurity to cultural zeitgeist with Napoleon Dynamite. A man subsequently handed the reigns to an underrated and unappreciated Jack Black Luchador comedy from Paramount and then…. silence. Until now! Jared Hess is back with the comedy Gentlemen Broncos– the epic tale of a young sci-fi writer’s quest to overcome the plagiarizing forces of old sci-fi writer Ronald Chevalier (as played by Flight …
The Bible can be creepy. Take Revelations, with its symbolic dragons, falling stars, blood moon, apocalyptic horsemen and the “God Hates Fags” guys. There’s also the story of Jesus’ run-in with a guy who’s possessed. Jesus asks his name and the guy responds “Legion- for we are many”. Of course, Legion subsequently gets a spiritual punch in the face, hops into a bunch of pigs who then squeal/gargle their way into a Red Sea dirt nap, but that didn’t stop …
I may not have said it before, but I’ll say it again anyway: Satan abounds in the hearts of those not moved by the trailers for Where the Wild Things Are. That may be going a little far, but I’m big time into hyperbole, so it stands. In what seems like just yesterday, when the first WTWTA trailer hit, I had this to say: “Viewing the just-released trailer now– two years later– I couldn’t be more enchanted with the potential …
If you’re like me you are absolutely dying for the November 20th release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Time can’t move swiftly enough for me to reconnect with Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson) and to spend a little more time with that hunky, eventually-shafted lycan, Jacob (Taylor Lautner). And when I say I’m absolutely dying to see the sequel to last year’s Twilight, I really mean I’d rather spend two days stapled to my couch watching a marathon …
October 9, 2009 is cool for two reasons now – first, it’s my dad’s birthday, and second, it’s when Zombieland with Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin hits cinemas. You know Harrelson, because he’s old and been around for awhile, but Eisenberg was curly-haired nerd recently seen in Adventureland, and Emma Stone climbed the ladder of fame in Superbad as being the only girl on the planet who would possibly sleep with Jonah Hill. And you know …
Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones is one of the most powerful and emotional novels I have read in my entire life. It moved me in such a way that a film version didn’t seem possible or plausible. That’s the beauty of books and reading, the “movie” is painted in our minds by virtue of our imagination, not Hollywood’s. Nevertheless, my fears were stymied when Peter Jackson (The Lord of The Rings) was tagged to direct Sebold’s masterpiece. My only concern …
