Greg Mottola is setting himself up to strike theaters again with his next movie (due out next spring) titled Adventureland. For those of you who aren’t well versed in Mottola, he directed a little movie called Superbad that had everyone laughing but still feeling a heartfelt touch. Well, he’s looking to score again with his [...]
Posters: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
With The Curious Case of Benjamin Button coming out in just over a month, I was quite confused as to why we hadn’t seen a poster before now (though we have gotten numerous trailer options). Luckily, Paramount has finally decided to release the official posters for the film. The posters are based around the two [...]
Reader Feedback: What Are You Seeing This Weekend?

Trailer: Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler
I never really expected to see a movie about a wrestler be one of the most buzzed about movies. Especially in a year where we had The Dark Knight, were wowed by Wall-E and shown that Robert Downey Jr. is back (Iron Man and Tropic Thunder). But alas, here we are talking about the newest [...]

Trailer: J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek
If the film world wasn’t nerdy enough right now with the release of the trailers for Watchmen and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, internet nerds are now getting the Star Trek trailer to make this a threesome of nerd awesomeness. Oh, see I started this off making you think I wasn’t all impressed, and [...]
Trailer: Brand New Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry and Co. are back once more in a trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Maybe WB is trying to make up for taking Harry away from us (it was originally slated to release next week), but considering we just got a trailer from them the other day, I wasn’t expecting another so [...]

Judd Apatow. Adam Sandler. Seth Rogen. All huge names in comedy and all are coming together for a new movie called Funny People.
