Two New Suits Revealed From ‘Iron Man 3’ By Germain Lussier/March 26, 2013 9:30 am EST The latest trailer for Iron Man 3 confirmed a rumor we’d been hearing for some time: That the reason Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) goes from the Mark VII in The Avengers to the Mark XLVII in Iron Man 3 is because he created 40 suits in between. We’ll probably see all (or most) of them in the film’s finale, and leading up to that, the film’s official Facebook has begun to reveal close-ups of the in-between armors....

VOTD: ‘Hambuster’ By Angie Han/May 4, 2011 3:00 pm EST To paraphrase Sam Elliott’s Big Lebowski character: “Sometimes, you eat the burger… and sometimes, the burger, well, he eats you.” That seems to be the moral of today’s VOTD, Hambuster, about an evil hamburger determined to eat everything in its path. The funny and rather impressive seven-minute short was created by students from French digital filmmaking school Supinfocom, and is also available in 3D....

Watch: How Many Movie References Can You Spot In Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Simpsons’ Opening? By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 3, 2013 1:51 pm EST Guillermo Del Toro directed the opening of The Simpsons’ 24th annual Treehouse Of Horror halloween anthology series. The three-minute long extended opening sequence is crammed full of movie references from the world of horror, sci-fi and even Del Toro’s own filmography. How many movie references can you spot? Watch the opening after the jump and leave your list in the comments below....

Will And Jaden Smith Are One With Nature In Latest ‘After Earth’ Poster By Germain Lussier/March 13, 2013 5:00 pm EST Once upon a time, when M. Night Shyamalan was making a movie, his name was promoted above the title. Then he did The Happening and The Last Airbender. For his latest release, After Earth, his name is barely visible with a microscope. Which is probably a good thing when the film has one of, if not the biggest movie stars in the planet and his increasingly famous son along for the ride....

WTF: ‘Star Wars: Detours’ Trailer, The Animated 21st Century ‘Star Wars Christmas Special’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 24, 2012 2:20 pm EST Take everything you know about Star Wars, ball it up and throw it in the trash. Darth Vader was never mean; he was a rapper. Obi-Wan Kenobi was never stoic; he did stand-up comedy. Han Solo was never a scoundrel; he was a dancer. The Emperor was never evil; he was a chick magnet....

‘22 Jump Street’ International Trailer: New Footage Parties With New Characters By Germain Lussier/May 7, 2014 9:00 am EST I can’t tell you what’s in the new 22 Jump Street trailer. I won’t watch it. Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum all returning for the sequel to one of my favorite movies of 2012? I was sold before cameras began rolling. Then the first couple trailers showed the same kind of self-reference, smarts and laughs we’ve come to expect from the franchise....

‘About Time’ Red-Band Trailer: The Time-Traveler’s Girlfriend By Angie Han/July 30, 2013 1:00 pm EST The last time Rachel McAdams fell in love with a time traveler, things took a turn for the romantically tragic. But she’s apparently willing to go back and do it all over again, in hope of a sunnier result. Richard Curtis’ About Time stars Domhnall Gleeson as unlucky-in-love Tim, whose father (Bill Nighy) reveals that the men in their family have the ability to travel through time and alter their own lives....

‘Django Unchained’ Trailer #2: Django’s Curious What Makes You So Curious By Angie Han/Oct. 10, 2012 5:20 pm EST December has more than its fair share of highly anticipated titles, but somehow we suspect Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained will have no trouble setting itself apart from the pack. The second full-length domestic trailer for the “Southern-fried Western” offers plenty of juicy new footage, including better looks at stars Kerry Washington, Samuel L....

‘Horrible Bosses 2’ Set For Thanksgiving 2014 Release By Germain Lussier/Sept. 27, 2013 5:00 pm EST Briefly: Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Bateman are coming home for the holidays, to ruin them with tales of horror. Horrible Bosses 2, directed by Sean Anders and written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, was just given a release date of November 26, 2014. That’s a pretty impressive release date for the sequel to the sleeper 2011 hit....

‘Jack The Giant Slayer’ Review: A Classic Fairy Tale Gets A Generic CG Makeover By Angie Han/March 1, 2013 4:50 pm EST Screenwriters David Dobkin and Darren Lemke take the basic touchstones of Jack and the Giant Beanstalk — the poor farm boy, the magic beans, the scary giants — but introduce several brand-new elements to the story. In this version, Jack (Nicholas Hoult) heads upward to rescue a beautiful princess (Eleanor Tomlinson) and stop her evil betrothed (Stanley Tucci) from taking over the kingdom....

‘Melancholia’ Clip: Life On Earth Is Evil By Russ Fischer/May 11, 2011 3:51 pm EST Lars Von Trier’s new film, Melancholia, premieres soon at Cannes, and the debut of the film sets up a showdown between two sci-fi influenced dramas. On one side you’ve got Another Earth (trailer here) in which the emergence of a second Earth, which may or may not be an exact duplicate of our own world, leads to an exploration of second chances and the idea that our mistakes don’t have to be our sole defining trait....

‘Movie 43’ Green-Band Trailer: “Unspeakable, Unforgivable, Just Plain Wrong”? If You Say So By Angie Han/Oct. 18, 2012 1:45 pm EST The red-band trailer for Peter Farrelly’s Movie 43 leaned hard on the shock factor of seeing big Hollywood stars revel in foul language and filthy jokes, but the poor green-band trailer is stuck trying to sell the exact same product by only hinting at what the NSFW version could actually show....

‘The Grandmaster’ US Trailer: The Last Man Standing Is Always Right By Russ Fischer/April 22, 2013 4:00 pm EST We’ve seen a lot of footage for Wong Kar-Wai’s new film, The Grandmaster, but this is the first trailer specifically aimed at a US release. Accordingly, this one features subtitles. It also sports a completely ridiculous voice-over track that explains a rudimentary martial arts morality that may or may not represent what is really in the film....

‘The Raid 2: Berandal’ Trailer: So Good, You’ll Want To Punch The Wall By Angie Han/Nov. 6, 2013 7:40 am EST Gareth Evans’ The Raid: Redemption seemed to come out of nowhere in 2011, but it quickly found a following thanks to its intense, inventive, and shockingly entertaining action sequences. Its follow-up, The Raid 2: Redemption, doesn’t have the luxury of taking us by surprise, but based on the first trailer that shouldn’t be a problem at all....

‘The Wind Rises’ International Teaser Trailer: Hayao Miyazaki Returns By Russ Fischer/June 24, 2013 9:41 am EST Here’s the very first footage from the new Hayao Miyazaki film, The Wind Rises. The movie, which hits screens in Japan in a few weeks, is Miyazaki’s most realistic to date. It tells the story of Jiro Horikoshi, the engineer who designed the Zero Fighter used by Japan in World War II. Or, the film is at least based on his story; as you’ll see in the footage, there’s an element of fantasy on display....

Check Out The Poster For J.J. Abrams’ New Show ‘Almost Human’ By Germain Lussier/July 15, 2013 8:22 am EST Thanks to Entertainment Weekly for this very cool poster. Here’s a trailer for the show too.

Dan Aykroyd’s Latest ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Pipe Dream Is To Shoot Next Year By Germain Lussier/April 23, 2013 12:20 pm EST Is it just me or has Dan Aykroyd turned into the boy who cried Ghostbusters 3? The more he talks about it, the less likely we are to believe anything he says. The writer and actor, who recently called out Sony for their lack of ectoplasmic enthusiasm, is one again doing the press rounds....

Disney’s ‘Oz The Great And Powerful’ Ignites A Rivalry With ‘Wizard Of Oz’ Owner Warner Bros. By Germain Lussier/March 11, 2013 12:31 pm EST When people think of The Wizard of Oz, they think of the 1939 film starring Judy Garland. Yellow brick roads, munchkins, ruby slippers, the wicked witch, all that stuff. Fast forward about 75 years and Disney releases Oz the Great and Powerful, a prequel that features iconography very similar to, but not exactly the same, as the famous film....

Eight New Posters For ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 4, 2013 10:30 am EST The page has turned from October to November and that means the Fall movie season is really kicking into high gear. Besides all the Oscar-hopefuls, Hollywood releases a whole other block of potential blockbusters, and one of the biggest this year will be The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Peter Jackson’s second part of The Hobbit opens December 13, and will continue the story of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and a team of dwarves on their way to reclaim the riches of the Lonely Mountain....

First Look: Steven Soderbergh’s The Argentine And Guerrilla By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 4, 2008 3:16 pm EST After college, I kicked it around downtown Miami for a bit. While the city never became the new hipster mecca to replace Brooklyn as the, uh, booming condo industry promised, I did become aware that Fidel Castro has died approximately 1,000 times and that the locals like to celebrate each time like it’s the last time....
