Movie Buzz Watch first scene of The Wackness online — it’s in theaters today. The Wackness follows the story of a teenager who trades marijuana for therapy in the summer of 1994, just before Giuliani takes office and NYC changes foreva’. The promising cast includes Josh Peck, Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby, and Mary-Kate Olsen. I can’t wait to see MK & Kingsley’s steamy make-out scene.
Movie Buzz Rumors are flying regarding a possible big screen version of the NBC sitcom, much in thanks to the blockbuster success of Sex And The City. If we ever needed a movie about jobless attractive people who drink coffee and employ quirky intonation, that time is now.
Movie Buzz As more reviews of The Dark Knight keep rolling in, Heath Ledger as the Joker is getting all the attention. Peter Travers’ review in Rolling Stone kicked off the Oscar chatter, but most other people who’ve seen the movie seem to agree that Leger is amazing in the role.
Bond is back, and he’s very, very angry.
Movie Buzz Despite a seeming inability to release a film that does poorly at the box office, Will Smith may have a real stinker on his hands with Hancock. I love the premise of this film (resentful superhero!) and am not immune to the charms of Will Smith, but if the reviews are to be believed, mistakes were made in its making. I’m also sad that the trailer does, in fact, contain a spoiler (though I won’t say what).
A one-of-a-kind official LEGO version of Syd Mead’s “Spinner” flying car from Blade Runner.
Movie Buzz Sarah Jessica Parker next venture may be playing the roll of Ivy Ames in The Ivy Chronicles, a film about a single mother trying to make her way in New York City. After losing her husband, Park Avenue abode, and job on Wall Street, Ivy Ames starts a business to help preschoolers get accepted to Manhattan’s most prestigious kindergartens. The film will be a film adaptation of Karen Quinn’s novel by the same name and is said to be reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries. Hmm, SJP playing a single Park Avenue betch? Glad she’s stepping out of her comfort zone.
Movie Buzz Everyone’s saying that Wall-E may be Pixar’s greatest creation to date. Disney’s internal rating system has Wall-E doing 30% better than Ratatouille did. The movie revolves around the last remaining Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class (“Wall-E”) robot on Earth. Despite Wall-E’s script having fewer words-per-minute than any other film this year, critics are calling it “an instant classic.” Wall-E is brought to us Andrew Stanton, the genius behind Finding Nemo. The trailers (which are more like short films) already have me smitten with the the little meeping robot. Can’t wait to see the full-length feature!
Movie Buzz It’s like ‘jump the shark,’ only for movies. The scene in the new Indiana Jones film in which Indy survives a nuclear blast by crawling into a lead-lined fridge is so ridiculous it’s spawned a new phrase for describing when a series of movies has stretched our disbelief past the breaking point. For example, the Star Wars series nuked the fridge with the introduction of Jar Jar Binks.
New film exposes a fake Iraq in the Mojave Desert where real solders practice killing fake terrorists.
Movie Buzz M. Night Shyamalan’s newest movie is being mercilessly made fun of in reviews and on internet boards. Christopher Orr instant-classic tear-down review in The New Republic isn’t even a review — it’s a long spoiler meant to ensure a reader won’t go see the film and thereby waste time and money. The blog reaction is just as dire.
Movie Buzz New film opens next week has an all-star comedic cast including Amy Sedaris, Debbie Harry, Alan Cumming, and Judah Friedlander. It’s about little boys stuck in grown-men bodies. You’ll probably relate to this movie if you’ve ever known (or happen to be) a hopelessly adolescent man.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg brainstorm about Indiana Jones 4.
The movie featuring a painful Brittany Snow ballbusting move will make you cringe.
Movie Buzz A war of words between Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood. Lee criticized Eastwood for not having any black actors in his Iwo Jima movies, so Clint responded with, “A guy like him should shut his face.” Game on! And no, this definitely has nothing to do with generating Oscar buzz.
Movie Buzz The guy who plays Samantha’s neighbor Dante in the Sex and the City movie. The Antonio Banderas lookalike will forever be known as “that naked guy from Sex and the City.”
Movie Buzz A rom-com/slasher film, set in the woods, is the world’s first mumblecore horror movie. This looks suitably endearing to be unsettling, in the sense that a person with a paper bag over their head is both scary and laughable.
On the set of the upcoming film I Love You, Man, Jason Segel films a hilarious scene with the original Incredible Hulk, dropping a line likely to earn the respect of teenage boys everywhere upon the movie’s release.
The only Sex and the City parody worth your time.
A trailer for the new Coen Brothers’ movie hits the web.
