Madagascar School Musical. The Daily Diversion.
21 November 2008 12:01 PM, PST
Its true -- even we get tired of being right all the time. And instead of throwing our opinions around in ways that rock your collective mind, we'd like to just sit back and watch silliness unfold in the form of moving pictures. In order to accomplish this, we would ...

Thomas Jane Shoots Gritty Noir On Your Ass In New Trailer For ‘Give em Hell Malone’
21 November 2008 11:02 AM, PST
Thomas Jane deserves more respect. He's always a fun and interesting actor to watch. He's charming and funny in person, and he always has a slightly dangerous glint in his eyes, no matter the role. He's played both the bad guy in Under Suspicion and the hero in Deep Blue Sea, ...

Movie Drinking Games: Twilight
21 November 2008 10:32 AM, PST
Sure, most of the core fan base to Twilight can’t drink (because they’re teenage girls) or won’t drink (because they’re Mormon), but that doesn’t mean that this game will fall on deaf ears. There’s millions of boyfriends and TwiGuys who are going to be dragged to this film by sisters, ...

Greg Mottola Goes From Superbad to Adventureland
20 November 2008 9:57 PM, PST
I keep feeling like Peter from Slashfilm and I have the same taste in movies. Is it because we shared a bromantic night on the balcony of his hotel room during Comic-Con that we swore we'd never speak of again or mention to a large film website audience? No. It's ...

Review: In Regards to Your Movie, ‘Twilight’
20 November 2008 9:30 PM, PST
To whom it may concern: I'm not sure where to begin. There's a lot of fantastic things about your film, a lot of gambles you took paid off, a lot of beauty. It had Catherine Hardwicke's directing signature all over it. The style of the shots and the tone almost looked ...

Exclusive: Michael Rapaport and The Directors of ‘Special’ Talk Superpowers and Cinematic Middle Fingers
20 November 2008 9:28 PM, PST
Just so we can get it out of the way - Hal Haberman is a pervert. I claim that Haberman, one-half of the directing team behind Special - the superhero movie about a man with no super powers - is a pervert for several reasons. 1. While the other one-half of that ...

Review: ‘Twilight’ is a Love Letter to Fans, But Nothing More
20 November 2008 5:57 PM, PST
There are certain things that I believe we've come to expect from vampire movies. More specifically, there are two key elements that link vampire movies together -- and no, one is not that vampires drink blood -- they are all either very brutal and violent or very glamorous and sexy, ...

Let ‘The Wrestler’ Trailer Emotionally Pile Drive You
20 November 2008 5:25 PM, PST
It's destroyed every festival audience it's come into contact with. It's garnering Oscar buzz for Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Darren Aronofksy, and the film itself. It's quickly swimming around in my mind as I try to figure out whether it's my favorite movie of the year or simply in the ...
