This is the first time I’ve seen or heard anything about the upcoming (May 13, 2011) comedy, Bridesmaids, and odds are this movie will blow six ways from Sunday, but I’m holding out hope this flick will make me laugh as much as the trailer did. This looks like the chick version of The Hangover. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the soulless, unimaginative drones in Hollywood belched out a concept like Bridesmaids. Still, I cling …

And that man would be me. Yes, I just gave myself a straight uppercut to Manland. Now, not only am I singing alto, but my childhood memories of The Smurfs are tainted by the kind of lifeless CGI, poop and fart humor and unintelligent swings at pop culture that made Alvin and The Chipmunks the first movie in history to almost singlehandedly usher in the second coming of Jesus. Considering it’s almost 2012, The Smurfs movie just might be the final nudge we …
While I’m not a fan of Abram’s television ventures – mostly because I’ve never seen one episode of Alias or Lost, I am a fan, thus far, of his big screen directing, particularly last year’s Star Trek re-boot. I’m not even going to mention how much I love Steven Spielberg. The man could direct a movie about the Wiggles and I’d be first in line. So when I heard these two creative behemoths joined storytelling forces to create this summer’s …
Maybe I’m getting softer, sappier and more emotional in my old age (I’m 36 for crying out loud!), or maybe al-Qaeda dropped an estrogen dirty bomb that I’m not aware of, but I’m seriously considering booking a therapy session after seeing the trailer for Something Borrowed and thinking, “Oh, that looks so touching and romantic!” On second thought, I’m going to chalk it up to Wintertime blues and my huge crush on Ginnifer Goodwin (HBO’s Big Love). How could I …
Listen, I love superhero movies, but I don’t know jack about the comic book side. Call me lazy, uninterested or whatever. I prefer to call myself un-nerdy, but hey, let’s not plaster labels and point fingers. We all get a little juiced over our own little entertainment universes. Lately, for me, it’s Dead Space. A few years ago it was Halo. When I was a kid it was Star Wars. Maybe for you it’s Twilight or The Hunger Games or …
Man oh man oh man. So much for Happy Friday and smelling the first drops of spring! I was looking forward to Puss in Boots this November, but after this so-so teaser trailer, I’m not so sure. I certainly hope there is more to Puss in Boots than what this teaser trailer alludes to, because if not, this is simply another sloppy sequel – or in this case, a spin-off – in the tired and dead Shrek franchise (which officially …
We’ve known The Hangover: Part II has been heading to theaters this Memorial Day (May 26, 2011) since Todd Phillips’ The Hangover was a financial and critical success in 2009, but we haven’t, other than casting, been given much and this teaser trailer continues in the same fashion. We know the movie is set in Thailand and it appears Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) are looking for their long lost pal, Doug (Justin Bartha), yet …
I am a sucker for “found footage” films and have sung the praises of Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2. They aren’t Oscar fodder by any stretch of the imagination, but these movies knock it out of the park with exactly what they are supposed to accomplish, which is to give you the cinematic equivalent of a haunted house. In a nutshell, these types of films are less about the actual components of the film, but instead are weighted heavily on the in-theater …
I have never watched or had the desire to watch any of the movies in the Scream franchise, so chances are I won’t be running to the theater to see Scream 4, which is directed by Wes Craven (Red Eye), and stars David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. Scream 4 comes to theaters on April 15, 2011. Check out the new poster below.
Ugh, maybe I’m starting to get superhero-lag, but the trailer for X-Men: First Class does absolutely nothing for me. In fact, I take that back. I’m not sick of superhero movies, but I am done with the X-Men. Fans of the Marvel comic can flip me the bird all they want, but this franchise was over for me after Bryan Singer’s craptastic sequel, X2. X-Men: The Last Stand (directed by that tool, Brett Ratner) and X-Men Origins: Wolverine were nothing …
