Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'
...don't buy a ticket to his new movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, which astonishingly includes only one scene in which dude shows skin.
(Though it pains me to admit that the film isn't completely terrible. McConaughey's character is a tool, no doubt, but somehow the actor gets more tolerable as the Christmas Carol-meets-every-romantic-comedy-ever story wears on. [...]
Got this notice a little late, but if you are looking for something to do tonight head down to the Arlington Drafthouse for a screening of what's gotta be the terrifically awful The Sinful Dwarf.
The Drafthouse's Web site offers a hilarious blurb of the film, ending with this quote from the blog Daily Grindhouse: "The [...]
...The Baster, which the sewer-minded among you may have guessed is about a woman trying to get pregnant via artificial insemination. Classy!
Yesterday, the Huffington Post tried to make a big deal out of stars Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman "making out" while filming a scene. The article's alleged point was CDC's suggestion that we all [...]

Looks good...
Looove Rob Zombie. Think he's a genius. (Yeah, yeah, I can hear you, haters!)
Can't wait for H2, Zombie's sequel to his Halloween "reimagining." OK, so he's guilty of adding to Hollywood's ever-increasing pit of unoriginality. But he's still got a good eye.
Out Aug. 28.

Pixar's 10th feature, Up, has been rated PG for "some peril and action." It's only the second Pixar flick after 2004's The Incredibles to not get a family-friendlier G.
Screw the action; the kids will be fine. I'm more concerned about anyone old enough to have a) a sense of mortality and 2) anxiety about letting [...]
That's a direct pitch from MichelGondry.com, the Web site that shills DVDs, sketches, and, yes, toilet paper personalized by the Be Kind Rewind and future Green Hornet (!) director.
An order of 500 2-ply "Michel's Notes From the Throne" offers doodles — the inked kind — and "random thoughts" by Gondry, and can be had for [...]
Er, I mean the "Wolf Pack." From, of course, the next installment of the Twilight franchise, New Moon.
Very tween appropriate, don't you think?
That's how I'm guessing Walt Disney would choose to quote me in ads for Hannah Montana: The Movie had I actually written a review of it. Which would have gone something like this: At first it's kinda cool, then it's tremendously corny, then it's rather sweet.
But in the middle of the film there's this big [...]
Because this week, I was on it! In the Observe and Report segment...look for the hypersaturated, grainy clip with monotone commentary:
Besides my surprise participation — didn't get any warning that they were going to use my clip, just saw my gigantic face flash across the TV — this is my favorite episode yet. Funny stuff. [...]
Which seems to be what Michael Bay is going for in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel to the 2007 movie that was ruined by terrible comedy.
Watch Bumblebee emote! I don't care if the action that follows the opening scene does look a little better than the original, it'll still probably be more annoying [...]

*not really
Here's a segment from last week's episode, in which co-host Brett Erlich lists the Top 5 Monsters and Aliens of All Time:
If you haven't yet seen the show, which airs at 10:30 p.m. Thursdays on Current TV, give it a shot. Erlich and Ellen Fox do an amazing job of tearing apart bad movies without [...]
