Steve Carell To Play A Crazy Murderer

Main Street Needs A Drink(ing Game)
Two days ago, a little movie called Main Street was released. This movie confuses me. What to know why? Mostly, I can’t figure out exactly why a movie about the American South has so many British actors in the cast. Don’t get me wrong, I love me my British actors; but does this make sense to you? Because there’s something about hearing a southern drawl coming out of Colin Firth’s mouth that just makes me go, “Whaaaa?” The thing that really gets me is that Main Street was the final work of Horton Foote, who was super important both as a playwright (The Orphan’s Home Cycle) and as a screenwriter (the screenplays for the film adaptations of To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men. Given this, maybe you can understand why I’m having so much trouble with the mere fact that I’m having so much trouble with this movie.
So here’s the deal: I’m going to give you Main Street’s trailer. The trailer is two minutes long. You’re going to break out a bottle of SoCo and a couple of shot glasses. We’re both going to attempt to understand what’s going on here. This one is going to be fast a furious. Ready? Set? Drink! More »

Video: ‘Inception’ in 60 Seconds
Don’t have time to sit through all of Inception? Try this 60-second version instead! Virgin Radio 95.3 in Vancouver recently held a “Fake Film Festival” in which they invited listeners to submit fan-made versions of well-known films. The results are pretty hilarious in general, but this minute-long Inception takes the cake. Highlights include the slow-motion van sequence, the infamous Joseph Gordon-Levitt hallway fight, and the genius casting of Cobb’s kids. Check out what went on behind the scenes at the group’s deviantART page, and catch the rest of the fake film entries here. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWW!

Are You Ready For The Chris Crocker Documentary?
Remember Chris Crocker? Of course you do. He freaked you out four years ago by posting videos that made you laugh at rather than with him, prompting you to look inside yourself and wonder when, exactly, you got evil enough to sneer at some poor, unbalanced teenager from Tennessee. But then he went away! Or, so you thought. Nope. Chris Crocker never goes away. And he never forgets either, haters. More »
‘Game of Thrones’ and the Art of the Visual FX Reel
Even if you don’t know much about filmmaking, odds are, you’re aware of the mark of good special effects: If the effects are reeeeeeally good, you don’t actually notice them. This is one of the reasons why the Lord of the Rings trilogy is so good; it’s one of the reasons why Black Swan was so good; and it’s one of the reasons that HBO’s Game of Thrones is so good. This is also why it’s so much fun when special effects reels detailing how all of those so-spectacular-you-didn’t-even-notice-them things were accomplished pop up on the Internet. Hoorah for the Internet! More »

Video: Real-Life Wall-E Walks, Talks, and Dances Just For You!
When I was a kid, I really wanted my own robot. And I don’t mean a toy one like Teddy Ruxpin; I wanted a REAL robot, one that did things of his own accord and got into all kinds of madcap adventures. If I could have had my own Johnny 5, I would have been the happiest kid alive. Of course, that didn’t happen; but maybe that’s why I enjoyed Wall-E so much when it came out. Wall-E was kind of like a smaller, less vocal version of Johnny 5, and boy was he cute! Who WOULDN’T want their own real-life Wall-E?
Well, guess what? This guy made one. For reals. DJ Sures took a Wall-E toy and made a real-life, working Wall-E out of it. And it’s AMAZING. More »

Captain America’s Dominic Cooper…Revealed!
With all the fervor over Captain America‘s studly star Chris Evans, it would be easy to forget anyone else is in the movie at all. But to do so would be a huge mistake, because the supporting cast includes Dominic Cooper, a great actor (and heartthrob) in his own rite. In this, his Hollywood blockbuster debut, Cooper plays Howard Stark, the brilliant inventor who helps turn regular guy Steve Rogers into a patriotic übermensch. (And who, in Iron Man, grows up into John Slattery and fathers the title character.) Here are some things you might not know about him. More »
Why I Don’t Need to See ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ (Spoilers, Sort Of)
I went to the movies a few days ago. This is not an unusual thing for me to do– I dig movies, and I dig writing about them– but I’m not about to write about the movie I saw. I’m going to write about a trailer I saw instead. It was a very bad trailer, but probably not for the reasons you’re thinking. The trailer was for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, for which we’ve been seeing trailers for a while now; but this one was one I hadn’t seen before, and to be honest, I still kind of wish I hadn’t seen it. Check out the trailer in question below:
