Simon Pegg And Robert Weide Ask Fans NOT To Buy Their Movie On DVD By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 6, 2009 12:01 am EST It’s typical for movie stars and directors do interviews and press to promote the release of their latest movies on DVD, but actor Simon Pegg and director Robert B. Weide are asking fans NOT to buy the Region 1 DVD of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. It’s not a marketing gimmick, reverse psychology or anything like that — Weide and Pegg made big compromises in the final cut of the film under the belief that cut material would eventually materialize on the DVD release....

The X Files: I Want To Believe Movie Poster By Hunter Stephenson/May 6, 2008 2:40 pm EST Greetings to our readers in Poland. XFilesNews nabbed an odd Polish one-sheet for this summer’s The X Files: I Want to Believe. Why does Mulder’s face look like it’s been rebuilt with wax? Creepy. Thus far, the marketing has played up the bleary snow imagery and black helicopters to such a great extent that the plot’s mystery creature(s) seems like nothing more than a MacGuffin....

Vincent Gallo And Ray Liotta To Star In Argento’s Giallo Giallo By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 16, 2008 4:36 pm EST While the general consensus seems to be that Dario Argento’s most recent flick Mother of Tears was womp-womp, the Italian director is a modern legend of the cinema. There’s just no denying. In the last 15 years, he’s crowd surfed on top the frail hands of many a hipster and geek, and now he’s officially mainstream with a doting reference in the $100 million hit Juno....

Visioneers Movie Trailer (Recommended…For Your Health!) By Hunter Stephenson/June 23, 2008 2:07 am EST Let’s make this movie a hit. Master of boiling, paralyzed rage and sorrow, comedian Zach Galifianakis, stars as the lead character, George Washington Winsterhammerman, in the true-blue indie, Visioneers, from first time director Jared Drake and writer Brandon Drake. At this point, I’m supposed to shield the trailer from the words “quirky indie blah blah” and reassure you that even though the film dissects mundane office life in America (…yet again) it can still be a winner and spew originality like lava on a Tiki-themed putt-putt course....

Del Toro Double Coming To DVD By Brendon Connelly/April 1, 2009 8:34 am EST Update: As Brendon suspected, this was an April Fools gag.
