Woka Woka, A Darker Muppet Movie In the Works?
Let’s be honest, when you’re drunk, Muppets From Space is a cinematic masterpiece. It makes you get very philosophical. ”Do Muppets know they aren’t real? Does Kermit think he’s a biologically genuine frog? Why would Ms. Piggy be attracted to another species? Sure it’s just pigs and frogs now, but what’s next, gay marriage?”

Sweet New Poster for The Spirit
A sweet new poster released for The Spirit and it looks pretty damn nice. And if you remove the lettering it’s almost art worthy. And while I was checking out the new poster I found another one that looks pretty sweet and would do very well in you’re average college dorm so I attached it [...]

“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’ or “ If my iPod took screen writing classes, it would write something like this” (Review)
This is was of the most beautiful and charming films I’ve seen in quite a while. Ever since I saw the trailer for the first time, I wanted this film to be something special and not a throwaway film. Trailers more often than not give you that false promise of what a film could [...]
Trailer: Will Smith in Seven Pounds
We’ve got our hands on the first trailer for Will Smith’s newest film: Seven Pounds. The film is actually a re-teaming of him and The Pursuit of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino, so if you enjoyed that I’m sure you will have the same uplifting, tear-soaked time. After watching it just once, I’m getting all emotional. [...]
Poster: Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in The Ugly Truth
Being a male I’m supposed to raise up in anger at how we’re represented in the first poster for The Ugly Truth, but alas, I’m still laughing too hard to object. I mean, clearly for all guys but me, I’m sure there is a lot of truth to this poster and maybe no one should [...]
