I Am Number Four, like much of what is hitting movie houses now and in the near future, is based off a young adult science fiction novel, written by Pittacus Lore, a pen name used by authors James Frey (the dude who pissed off Oprah) and Jobie Hughes. After a slight bidding war, DreamWorks won the rights to make the film and assigned D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) to direct the feature. I Am Number Four stars newcomer Alex Pettyfer (who …

Right now the Pittsburgh Steelers are wiping salty tears from their beards (ones that would make the leaders of Planet Beardatron proud) and the Green Bay Packers are trying to keep the homoerotic shower celebrations to a minimum as they soap their mullets with Prell. The rest of us? Well, I don’t know about you, but aside from trying to digest the spicy chili I ate four and a half hours ago, I’m trying to sift through the heap of …
I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember the last time Robert Redford actually made a decent movie. Lions for Lambs was blah and The Legend of Bagger Vance was decent enough to wander into thumbs up territory. I’d have to say The Horse Whisperer and Quiz Show were the last movies to showcase Redford’s directorial talent. With his new movie, The Conspirator, due to hit cinemas on April 15, 2011, I’m not sure what we’ll be getting. The …
If there was ever a great example of a teaser trailer, this short preview for Soul Surfer fits the bill perfectly. Clocking in speechless at a little over a minute, about all we know is AnnaSophia Robb (Race to Witch Mountain) has grown up, Dennis Quaid (Pandorum) and Helen Hunt (Then She Found Me) are looking super old and country singer Carrie Underwood is smokin’ hot. But in all seriousness, I kind of like the brevity, tone and feel of …
Frequent readers of AATM know that I absolutely, unequivocally love Star Wars, but that I also derive great pleasure in mocking the craptastic prequel trilogy and George Lucas’ hungry wallet (made of rancor leather, no less) and equally ravenous ego that turned my childhood memories from monolithic Star Destroyers chasing the Millennium Falcon through asteroids, Luke’s hand getting whacked off by Darth Vader, and Lando Calrissian disco dancing with Ewoks, to petulant little midi-chlorian-filled brats asking strangers if they’re angels, …
And you thought AndyatTheMovies.com had died a wintery, frozen death! I think not! I’m back from the holidays and I’m ready to bless your buns with the first Trailer Tuesday of 2011. Just think, only 92 more Trailer Tuesdays until Jesus returns and the world gets engulfed by the sun! Two months ago, amidst the Naked Harry Potter Scandal, I posted a trailer for Battle: Los Angeles with a hearty pronouncement the sci-fi action movie, due in theaters on March …
February is typically a pretty crappy movie month in my opinion. Kinda like January, these are the bone-chilling cinema doldrums, a veritable purgatory between the pre-Oscar barrage of September, October, November and December. I would make a comment about Thanksgiving and Christmas being good movie release dates, but with crap like Yogi Bear, I’m not so sure anymore. Either way, if you’re fans of Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, then buckle your shoes and cinch up your underpants …
I don’t watch much TV. Maybe it’s a window into my personality, but TV requires a commitment, even with DVR, that a 90 to 120 minute movie theater viewing does not. Plus, excluding some cable TV shows, most of the drama on the boob tube is sub-par storytelling and bland acting, at best. I realize movies don’t always knock it out of the park, but like a one-night-stand, at least I can sneak out of bed and not feel obligated …
I’m not sure I can find the right words to describe how hard I laughed through this redband (read: NSFW) trailer for the upcoming comedy, Your Highness, directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express). It stars James Franco (127 Hours) and Danny McBride (Due Date) as two brothers who set out on a quest to save Franco’s girlfriend, played by Zooey Deschanel (Yes Man), from an evil wizard, played by Justin Theroux, who is probably better known for writing Iron …
I have a man-crush on Ryan Reynolds, I love superheroes and I dig the summer box office, but color me not impressed with the first Green Lantern trailer. I realize this is a teaser trailer, but nothing in this preview hooked me – not even Reynolds’ trademark snark. I am going to go out on a limb and say this movie is headed for disaster. Sorry DC Comics and Green Lantern fans. This looks super boring. Check out the trailer …
