THE TWILIGHT SAGA - NEW MOON Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 1:45 pm

The Twilight Saga: New Moon, like last year’s Twilight, is critic-proof.  We film critics don’t get it, this film isn’t for us, and the fans will love it.  However, none of that means New Moon isn’t worthy of humorous derision or concerned analysis of the disturbing subtext.  New Moon is a bad movie which fails on nearly every level, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fascinating.  The series is one of the most popular young adult stories of the last decade yet the movie, which wouldn’t dare make radical changes to the book, lacks so much: a strong female protagonist, subtlety, joy, a positive message to young women, and above all, shirts.  The men of New Moon need shirts.

Trailer for REMEMBER ME Starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, and Chris Cooper

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

I can’t help but laugh that the trailer for Remember Me starts with Robert Pattinson’s character quoting Ghandi before getting into a fist-fight.  I’m not exactly sure what the point of the film is other than Pattinson is a rebel without a cause and people beat him up a lot.  I’ll admit that Pattinson good looking and the camera loves him when he looks like a real person and not an albino with orange contact lenses.  He’s obviously trying to find a career beyond Twilight, but I’m not sure another dramatic romance movie where only a good woman can mend his broken soul is going to accomplish that.

Check out the trailer after the jump along with a brief synopsis.  Remember Me is currently slated to open in theaters on March 12, 2010.

Brad Pitt May Enter DARK VOID

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 11:43 am

Another video game movie?  Huzzah!  Hollywood desperately wants a slice of the gigantic video game profits that industry continues to reap.  When it was released last Tuesday, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 set the record for biggest video game launch of all-time by selling approximately 4.7 million units in its first 24 hours for a total of $310 million from the U.S. and U.K. combined.  That’s a lot of scratch and apparently the only way for Hollywood to get a piece is to adapt games into movies, because it apparently doesn’t work the other way around even though there have been at least two video games which were better than the properties they came from (Goldeneye 007 and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay).  So the score is currently Movie-based Video Games: Two, Video Game-based Movies: Zero.

But Brad Pitt and his Plan B pictures are going to try and put movies on the score board by adapting the upcoming Capcom video game, Dark Void.  According to Variety, the story is about, “a pilot who crash lands in the Bermuda Triangle following a routine mission and wakes up to find himself in an alternate world resembling a primitive earth where aliens with superior technology are planning to take over civilization.”  Judging from the box art, this causes the pilot to dress up like the Rocketeer.  The game has a unique “vertical cover” system which is just like the regular cover system except with Dark Void it’s vertical and in mid-air.  Wow, what an innovation.

Judd Apatow Talks Possible Sequels to SUPERBAD and PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 11:01 am

FunnyOrDie hosted a live Q&A online with writer/producer/director Judd Apatow.  At one point during the Q&A, Apatow was asked if he had any plans for sequels to the hit movies Superbad and Pineapple Express both of which co-starred Seth Rogen who also co-wrote the script with writing partner Evan Goldberg.  Apatow says it’s highly unlikely they would ever do a sequel to Superbad because Rogen and Goldberg don’t want to ruin the original.  As for Pineapple Express, Apatow goes a little further and says they might do a sequel but right now there’s nothing planned.  Finally, Apatow does explain that he’s not opposed to building off previous films as the upcoming Get Him to the Greek is a spin-off of Forgetting Sarah Marshall starring Russell Brand’s character Aldous Snow.

But let’s take a moment for some perspective.  If you watch the clip where he Apatow responds to the question, which we’ve included after the jump, you’ll see that he cuts it with a lot of humor and some slight mockery.  You’re not going to see a lot of enthusiasm from him and it’s pretty clear he has only given the idea the slightest consideration.  We should be grateful for this because we’re already inundated with sequels so why would you want more?  Don’t you trust Apatow, Rogen, and Goldberg to make original comedies?  Let’s admit that Superbad and Pineapple Express aren’t films which require the franchise treatment.  That being said, if Rogen and Goldberg’s latest film, The Green Hornet, scores big at the box office, asking about a sequel won’t be out of the question; it will be the question.

Marvel @Twitter! News about the THOR Set and IRON MAN 2 Trailer in 140 Characters or Less!

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 10:29 am

It’s a bit bizarre that Twitter is so polarizing when it’s just a tool.  It’s such a weird thing to get mad at and the accusation that it’s furthering the ADD of our culture is just silly because we were gone further it anyway.  But like all tools it can be useful.  That’s why instead of sending out a press release, Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada and prolific comic writer Brian Michael Bendis can quickly give their thoughts about Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming adaptation of Thor.  For instance, here’s what Bendis had to tweet: “Thor movie meeting with Ken Branagh [sic] was over the top amazing. Visited the sets! I was in Odin’s chamber!”  It’s really good news that one of Marvel’s top writers is so enthusiastic about a movie based on a Marvel project and I don’t have to re-tweet something like, “Thor movie looks like an abomination.  What have I done with my life?  Goodbye Crool World.”

But in news that was unexpected as well as exciting, @JonFavreau all but said we’re getting the first trailer for Iron Man 2 with Sherlock Holmes on December 25^th.  It makes sense seeing as folks love the Robert Downey Jr (as well they should) and he stars in both movies. This is the power and the glory of Twitter.  This is straight from the director.  Not the rumor mill, not from a leak, but from the director making use of a new technology to get fans excited.  You can also follow me on Twitter and you can follow Steve!  The possibilities are endless!

MONSTERS, INC. Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 9:05 am

I opined when it came to Up that it’s hard to judge the Pixar canon because there are so few missteps, but when it comes to favorites, everyone’s got to have one. You have to at some point think of which one you love the most. It’s not like they’re your children. Though a case can be made for almost every single one of their films, the one that gets me the hardest, and the one that always works me over like a sap is Monsters Inc. My review of it after the jump.

Sam Worthington Signs on for Adaptation of Upcoming Comic Series THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 9:02 am

Here’s hoping that Sam Worthington is the real deal.  He was good in Terminator Salvation (although he had some trouble nailing down an American accent and occasionally lapsed back into his native Australian) but he’ll have to win over audiences in a big way with his leading performances in Avatar and Clash of the Titans if he wants to lessen the inevitable backlash towards him for having the audacity to be a rising star in Hollywood.

Thankfully, Worthington is playing it smart and not trying to be the biggest star in every upcoming blockbuster.  He’ll just be one of the biggest co-stars in the upcoming adaptation of the upcoming comic book series The Last Days of American Crime.  Hit the jump for details.

Eddie Murphy to Produce and Possibly Star in R-rated Comedy, THE MISADVENTURES OF FLUFFY

by Ramses Flores    Posted: November 18th, 2009 at 11:52 pm

A couple of months ago, I feared that the Eddie Murphy we all grew up loving was forever gone when he backed out of Bill Condon’s Richard Pryor biopic.  However, we have some good and bad news tonight that might give some of us old school Murphy fans some hope.  The good news is that Murphy is producing and may star in an R-rated comedy, The Misadventures of Fluffy.  This comes as a surprise since this would be his first R-rated film since 1999’s underrated Life.  The bad news is that this film will feature talking animals like 1998’s Dr. Doolittle.  Hit the jump to learn all the details of news both good and bad.
