With the Oscars almost upon us and the chances of G.I. Joe sneaking in as an 11th hour 11th Best Picture nominee looking bleak, it seems that only The Hurt Locker has a shot at taking down Avatar. Well, it did… until one of the producers may have had a little too much boxed...

Russell Brand “Arthur” Remake Gets Director; Hollywood Remake Jokes Become That Much More Difficult
“They’re remaking ? What’s Hollywood gonna remake next, ???”
That used to be a joke us humans were able to say. Now, not only will the fill-in-the-blank punchline not be as ridiculous as the movie that’s actually being remade, but there’s also only about three movies left in the history of cinema...

Dave Grohl Totally Agrees With Me That He Looks Like Shelley Duvall
A couple weeks back I suggested some casting ideas for the new Kurt Cobain biopic, and in an attempt to be all hilarious and stuff I said that current Them Crooked Vultures drummer Dave Grohl should be played by Shelley Duvall from The Shining. Well it turns out I was right on the money....

SPOILER ALERT: The Wall Street Sequel Might Just Be A Remake Of Meet The Parents
Based on the new international trailer for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (it’s just resting its eyes) with Shia LeBeouf and Michael Douglas, it is just a retelling of that age-old story of boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy wants to meet girl’s estranged white collar criminal father and get...

Casting Ideas For The Kurt Cobain Biopic
A Kurt Cobain biopic is reportedly in the works at Universal, and there is already a lot of speculation about who will play the late Nirvana front man. I, for one, think they should hand this to Pixar and have it star his creepy Guitar Hero doppelganger, but that probably won’t happen. If the...

TRAILER MIX: Kick Ass Looks Really…Hmm… I Can’t Think Of A Two-Word Phrase To Describe It
Here’s the latest trailer for the do-it-yourself comic-book movie Kick Ass. It’s a restricted trailer, because they say the word “ass” (GASSP!), but you can lie about your birthdate to log in (I know most of our readers are three and under).

Where The Wild Sopranos Things Are
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good old-fashioned internet movie mashup — I got really tired of them in 2007, like the internet’s version of Thai food — so I was actually kind of refreshed to see that someone did the very-thinkable and inserted James Gandolfini’s Sopranos dialogue into his scenes from...

Nothing Is More Romantic Than Awkwardly Proposing At The “When In Rome” Premiere
“Mommy, how did Daddy propose to you?”
“Well, honey, it’s actually a very romantic story. In 2010, there was this throwaway movie starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel and named after an expression…”

TRAILER MIX: HBO + Autism = Awards Sweep
HBO’s upcoming film Temple Grandin, starring Claire Danes as a person with autism who apparently accomplishes a bunch of great things, looks so frickin’ awardey, they’re just gonna tack on an Emmy acceptance speech overtop the end credits. Possibly the opening credits too.
