A new poster for Season 4 of "Mad Men" has made its way online, and as expected, it features Don Draper looking like one suave motherfucker. It also bares a notable resemblance to the poster for "Inception", in which Leo Dicaprio is striking the exact same badass pose.
This past week's episode of "South Park" (entitled "201") has understandably been generating a lot of controversy over its excessive censoring by Comedy Central—yet again—of all things relating to the prophet Muhammad. In light of this, everyone seems to have overlooked a far graver issue...
Dreamworks is back with another round of silly, feel-good family entertainment, and they've brought along all of their expected trademarks (read: stupid shit Pixar actively avoids doing).
Much ado has been made about the casting of white actors in the upcoming film adaptation of the Nickelodeon TV show, "Avatar: The Last Airbender". In an attempt to cast further perspective on the situation, I have created a visual comparison of the actors side-by-side with their animated counterparts. The results are... illuminating.
In a surprise twist, this year's Academy Award nominations are less terrible than usual. In lieu of an article explaining why that is though (read: I don't care enough to write one), here are some random observations and bits of trivia that have no useful bearing on anything that matters.
Much has been said of the pointlessness of a sequel to "Wall Street", a movie that came out in the '80s. Don't let the repellent subtitle fool you though, this sequel looks to be as respectable as they come.
With a single announcement, Columbia Pictures and Sony Animation has already told us everything we need to know about the shitstorm of cringe-worthy gags and hack-tastic storytelling that's in store for us. We know this because Raja Gosnell, the guy behind "Scooby-Doo" and "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", is going to be directing the film.
A week before the green band trailer for "Jennifer's Body" is set to hit theaters in front of showings of "Bruno", director Karyn Kusama, screenwriter Diablo Cody and producer Jason Reitman reveal what they claim to be a much more accurate first look at the film. But is the writer behind '07's surprise indie hit too far out of her comfort zone, or is her style a perfect fit for the horror genre?
What is the motivation behind remaking (er, "re envisioning") Abel Ferrara's 1992 oeuvre "Bad Lieutenant"? While this all remains mind-boggling, we've had roughly one year to get used to it. But with the recent release of a sorta ramshackle trailer, I still don't know what the fuck is going on.
Modernizing, updating, making something more topical or realistic, they all have their pros and cons. It's with this perspective in mind that I watched the 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' trailer that just hit the web. My first impression is that it's going with what it knows: goofy action and adrenaline-fueled thrills. And isn't knowing half the battle?
