Cool Stuff Labyrinth Plush Door Knocker

Cool Stuff: Labyrinth Plush Door Knocker By Peter Sciretta/June 15, 2008 1:36 am EST Toy Vault is producing plush replicas of the door knockers from Jim Henson’s Labyrinth (seen below). This guy has something in his ears. The door knockers are a dynamic duo literally living upon a set of doors. One has a knocker ring in his ears; the other in his mouth. Therefore can hardly speak and the other can hardly hear, making them a form of irony....

Harry Potter Through Fresh Eyes Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince Movie Review

Harry Potter Through Fresh Eyes: Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (Movie Review) By David Chen/July 17, 2009 7:41 am EST Over the past seven days, I have plowed through 15 hours of Harry Potter movies in an attempt at exploring the cultural phenomenon of this series. Crucial to this adventure has been my complete unfamiliarity with the Harry Potter books. Unencumbered by the expectations and anticipations that accompany Potter-fandom, I tried to evaluate how well these films work as films in their own right....

Jason Bateman Not In Kevin Smith S Porno

Jason Bateman NOT In Kevin Smith’s Porno By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 9, 2007 11:16 pm EST A few weeks ago AintITCool reported a RUMOR that Jason Bateman had been cast as Zack in Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I was able to speak to Bateman exclusively while he was promoting his appearance in Jason Reitman’s Juno at the Toronto Film Festival, and he denied the story completely. “No, I read that, but no, Not at all,” Bateman told /Film....

Movie Trailer Tony Gilroy S Duplicity

Movie Trailer: Tony Gilroy’s Duplicity By Devindra Hardawar/Nov. 25, 2008 11:36 pm EST Ever since the fairly spectacular Michael Clayton, I’ve been eagerly awaiting Tony Gilroy’s next directorial project, Duplicity. Honestly, how could you not get excited about a film that reunites Closer stars Clive Owen and Julia Roberts, and includes Tom Wilkinson (who should seriously consider hitching his wagon to every Gilroy script), and Paul Giamatti? Clayton proved that Gilroy had the directing chops to match his screenwriting prowess—which is saying something given that he’s written all the Bourne films thus far....

When a movie trailer is released on a Pizza website, that should tell you a lot about the quality of the film. Too bad you don’t get a free pizza with the purchase of a movie ticket....

Rumor Killer: Only Two Hours Of Crystal Skulls By Peter Sciretta/April 20, 2008 2:22 pm EST Last week we posted a story which claimed that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would top 140 minutes. Apparently that isn’t true after all. Jeff Wells’ source on the running time was composer John Williams who revealed in a recent YouTube video clip that the film is “seven reels long [with] each reel being 20 minutes....

You’ll see that, in the cases provided at the very least, the movements of Anderson and characters are often identical. It’s fairly neat to watch how exactly Anderson’s movements were mimicked by his animators....

The Original Festival Trailer For Rian Johnson S Brick

The Original Festival Trailer For Rian Johnson’s Brick By Devindra Hardawar/Jan. 14, 2010 10:08 am EST I remember getting chills after watching the trailer for Rian Johnson’s Brick back in 2005, and watching this newly unearthed pre-Sundance trailer for the film is giving me similar vibes. Maybe it’s the brilliant use of Ennio Morricone’s “Paying off Scores”, or the way the trailer is cut to a conversation between Brendan and Brain — all I know is that a rewatch for Brick is in short order....

This Week In Dvd Get Smart Futurama Bender S Game Transsiberian And More

This Week In DVD: Get Smart, Futurama: Bender’s Game, Transsiberian, And More By Adam Quigley/Nov. 4, 2008 4:51 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Following Bender’s Big Score and The Beast with a Billion Backs, it’s now time for Futurama’s third direct-to-DVD feature (out of the planned four) with Bender’s Game, a spoof of the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. According to David and Devindra on the /Filmcast (the discussion for which you can listen to when the Zack and Miri Make a Porno episode is released), this entry plays more like a series of comedic gags than a film with a compelling and structured story arc....

Underdog Teaser Movie Trailer

Underdog Teaser Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 14, 2007 5:36 am EST Have no fear, Underdog is here. The first teaser trailer that is. [youtube]Cwt5ImSrOxo[/youtube] The teaser is an obvious parody of Superman (which seems to be the movie of choice now-a-days – The Simpsons Movie). I’ve been very unsure about this project from the beginning. The two things that are keeping my interest are Jason Lee (who voices Underdog) and Academy Award nominee Amy Adams (for Junebug, if you haven’t seen it – go rent it now)....

Warner Bros Developing Live Action Adaptation Of The Japanese Manga Bleach

Warner Bros Developing Live-Action Adaptation Of The Japanese Manga Bleach By Peter Sciretta/March 21, 2010 10:29 pm EST Warner Bros in in the process of acquiring the live-action movie rights to the Japanese manga Bleach. The bad news is that 50 First Dates and Get Smart director Peter Segal is in talks to produce. I haven’t really liked Segal’s vision thus far and most people agree that et action-quotient of Get Smart was the film’s main downfall, so why is the filmmaker, best known for his comedies, producing this supernatural adaptation?...

Warner Bros To Make Live Action Thundercats Movie

Warner Bros To Make Live-Action Thundercats Movie? By Peter Sciretta/June 6, 2007 8:53 am EST Warner Bros has optioned the property based on a script by newbie Paul Sopocy. Growing up a kid of the 1980’s, I liked (or at least watched) all sorts of bad 80’s cartoon shows (probably starting with The Smurfs). It seems like Hollywood has run out of all original ideas again. Later this month Transformers will be unleashed and prove all the Hollywood movie executives right: “See, remaking the old shit brings in the real cash....
