Security Guard Allegedly Stabs Teenage My Bloody Valentine Moviegoer By David Chen/Jan. 19, 2009 12:05 pm EST Despite its gimmicky use of 3D, My Bloody Valentine has actually gotten fairly positive reviews, with critics such as Devin Faraci from CHUD claiming that the film “takes what’s worked before, mixes them together well, applies some 3D and brings the results to you in a well-made, well-paced, well-done way.” I spoke with a /Filmcast listener last night who told me that there’s a 3D sex scene in the movie, that a midget gets used as a human shield and impaled, and that “if that sounds interesting to you, you should go see this movie!...

The Evolution Of The USS Enterprise By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 12, 2008 12:14 am EST Yesterday, Paramount released the first full photo of the USS Enterprise from JJ Abrams’ Star Trek. In an attempt to compare old vs. new, I accidently posted a photo of the NCC-1701-A instead of the NCC-1701 from the Original Series (aka TOS). I was quickly blasted corrected by a few knowledgeable Trekkies. Truth be told, I’ve watched a lot of Trek over the years, but for me, the shows and movies have always remained passive entertainment....

The Stock Market Is Down But The Movie Business Is Up 14% Over 2008 By Steve Mason/March 3, 2009 1:40 am EST “Everything is working.” That’s what one studio exec told me today. “With the exception of the Jonas Brothers, it seems like almost every release is out-performing expectations.” January 2009 has gone down as the all-time 8th-best month in modern box office history. It started with excellent holiday holdovers. Six movies, technically released in 2008, did major chunks of their business after New Year’s....

Tropic Thunder To Feature Fake Movie Trailers By Peter Sciretta/April 13, 2008 11:46 pm EST During the Tropic Thunder theatrical trailer, Ben Stiller’s character Speedman is seen holding two huge guns (seen above) while delivering the line “Who Left The Fridge Open”, likely part of one of the other trailers. It’s unclear if any of these movie trailers will play before the Dreamworks/Paramount logo opens the film, although that would be awesome if it did....
Uwe Boll’s Disaster Movie The Final Storm Gets A Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 2, 2009 2:36 pm EST Yes, we were one of the movie news sites that filed a report at Fantastic Fest declaring that Uwe Boll might have finally made a good movie. Was it just a fluke? Was it just a case of the broken clock being right every once in a while (twice a day)? Or might Boll go on to make some other fun films?...

Chuck Klosterman’s Killing Yourself To Live - The Movie? By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 16, 2008 10:40 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The book is actually a very strange choice for a movie adaptation as it focuses of Klosterman’s journey to the death locations of famous rock musicians (Sarah Vowell did the NPR-ish version of this with Assassination Vacation). What started as a feature for SPIN Magazine, grew into a memoir....
Comparing Harry Potter And Twilight By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 23, 2008 11:57 am EST When I first discovered Twilight, I wrote a post called “Is Twilight the New Harry Potter?”. I was bashed by all kinds of angry Twilight fans, Twilight Moms and even Twilight Dads for trying to compare the two series. But now that Twilight has moved into the release date that was once occupied by Harry Potter, it’s becoming clear to em that the marketing department id definitely trying to emulate Potter’s marketing....

Cool Stuff: The Science Of Sleep Disasterology Calendar By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 3, 2007 5:47 am EST One of the coolest movies of last year came and went relatively fast, and was virtually unnoticed by mainstream audiences. I’m talking about The Science of Sleep, Michel Gondry’s quirky romantic dramedy about a young man, entranced by his dreams and imagination, who becomes lovestruck with a French woman and feels he can show her his world....
