“Cedar Rapids” HD Trailer Starring Ed Helms and John C. Reilly

Watching this trailer, I can’t tell if it is the next coming of Office Space, or a retread of 2009’s The Goods. You know what I’m talking about, a talented cast in an over the top somewhat formulaic comedy, and an independent arm of a major distributor.  I’m hoping Helms continues to show just how […]

“LOST” Numbers Win Big in Tuesday’s Drawing of Mega Millions

I couldn’t believe it when I stared at the numbers on the screen Tuesday night.  There were quite a few numbers that lined up in an all too familiar pattern. Anyone who was a fan of ABC’s Lost knows of the “numbers”. The “numbers” are 4-8-15-16-23-42, and they were the numbers that caused Jorge Garcia’s […]

New “Green Hornet” Poster Featuring Jay Chou and Seth Rogen

No matter how hard I try, I cannot get myself psyched for this movie. Maybe it was the studio moving the movie from Christmas release to a January death slot. Maybe it is the fact that as much as I enjoy Seth Rogen, I cannot imagine him as an action star. Although, I’m hoping that […]

First Poster for “The Smurfs” Live Action Film

The first poster for the live action CG hybrid film, The Smurfs, asks “Where are we?”, and features Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and a yet to be named Smurf.  I can’t really tell what the third one looks like, because all blue people look alike to me. My only question about this film, is can it […]

17 New Minutes of Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” Found

Roger Qbert was kind enough to point me to this news earlier today. Apparently a lost 17 minutes of edited footage that was removed slightly after its release from 2001: A Space Odyssey was found buried in a salt-mine vault in Kansas. To top it all off the footage was found perfectly reserved. Watching this […]

Watch “Paul” International Trailer – Simon Pegg, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, and Nick Frost

I have mixed feelings on this one. While on one hand I think this looks hilarious, and I absolutely love the cast; on the other hand I don’t think many people are going to pay to go see it. The biggest star in the film is the one supplying the voice for the main character. […]

“The Social Network” Top Nominations in Chicago Film Critics Awards

The Social Network is on a bit of a tear. Despite being one of the earliest of the much touted Best Picture favorites this year, the film has been racking up nominations and wins. The latest is a series of eight nominations from the Chicago Film Critics Association. True Grit, The King’s Speech, Inception, and […]

Neil Patrick Harris Calls Eric Braeden “Douchebag” on Twitter

I really admire Neil Patrick Harris for a number of reasons. For one, he is one immensely talented person. Secondly, he somehow makes playing a womanizer on television endearing, and as an openly gay actor as well. Another big reason to admire him is that he calls it like it is. Take for example his latest series […]

Watch “Water For Elephants” HD Trailer – Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz

I have to admit that upon reading the synopsis of this film, I wasn’t very interested.  However, now that I have seen the trailer, it is now a movie I am highly anticipating. Robert Pattinson continues to take roles that set him apart from his Twilight roles, and he looks like he has a good […]
