Here's a trailer for the comedy A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, a movie about a very sexy Labor Day party. Well, it's not sexy, is the point, it's a bunch of regular old weirdos having an orgy.
Here's the trailer for Paranormal Activity 3, which, like its predecessors, focuses on Katie, a good-turned-evil suburban girl. And just like the franchise's second installment, it looks like we're in for another prequel, going back all the way to 1988 this time. The trailer promises to help us "discover the secret behind the activity" and is predictably full of creepy girl glares, creepy girl games (Bloody Mary!), and other things of a creepy girl nature. Paranormal Activity 3 will hit theaters this October—just in time for Halloween, naturally.
Here's a trailer for Dream House, a horror movie that somehow managed to snag Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Naomi Watts for its three lead roles. It seems to be your standard-issue creepy house with a twist movie, the twist this time being that maybe the people who live in the house are actually the ghosts.
Everyone's favorite '90s villainess will soon be back on your TV. Be afraid! Also today: Someone's already upset with The X Factor, a Mormon book becomes a Mormon movie, and the strangest person is going to play the devil.
For the second time, a movie adaptation of the classic book serial has fallen apart. Also today: Law & Order rips from a new headline, Helen Mirren pinch hits, and some exciting Game of Thrones news.
Here's a bootleg-type teaser trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, a new version of the classic comic book origin story that last got a movie treatment.. nine years ago. Why so soon?
The boy wizard has broom-swooped through multiplexes one last time, and holly hippogriffs did he do well. Other stuff was in theaters too, of course, and it was a busy weekend overall, but Harry reigned hugely.
Though the little meddling wizard boy is on most everyone's mind this movie weekend, there are a couple of other things opening—things about fundamentalists, girlfriends, and a honey-mad bear, to name three—that could satisfy all you anti-Potter Death Eater types out there.
The nice summer weather belies a dark truth: two beloved franchises, one hugely popular, the other sadly ignored, are ending. Let's take a moment to remember, and thank, both Harry Potter and Friday Night Lights.
Here's a trailer for Disney/Pixar's (yup) John Carter, a space epic based on Edgar Rice Burroughs's old-timey Barsoom pulp novel series. This is to be Taylor Kitsch's big star-maker, so will it work?
Here's the trailer for Hugo, a 3D fantasy/adventure film that will hit theaters this November. Based on Brian Selznick's children's novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret and directed by none other than Martin Scorsese, Hugo tells the story of an orphan who lives in the walls of a 1930s Paris train station. A mysterious/magical train station! The movie stars Sacha Baron-Cohen and Ben Kingsley, among others, and while Joe Pesci is conspicuously absent, Hugo still looks to be a Thanksgiving Weekend must-see. [via NYM]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the eighth and final installment in the series, comes out on Friday. And whether you remember details from the previous films or not, a little refresher can't hurt, can it? With that in mind, here's a new video from the Fine Brothers in which they recap all the Potter movies up until now in a cool seven minutes.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hasn't even come out yet and it's already made $32 million in the US. Most of the advanced sales are for midnight screenings, which are now certain to be nightmare mob-scenes. That advance is the highest in movie history.
In his latest film, Tabloid, documentary filmmaker Errol Morris revisits a bizarre story that dominated the British rags 30 years ago. It was a simpler time. Voicemail hadn't yet been invented, so there was nothing to hack. Our heroine, Joyce McKinney, was a busty former Miss Wyoming with an I.Q. of 168. Living then in L.A., McKinney hired a pilot, a private detective, and several musclebound bodyguards, and set off to England to rescue the runaway fiance she was convinced had been brainwashed by the Mormon Church.
Here's the new full-length trailer for Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, Steven Spielberg's upcoming performance capture movie based on the beloved Belgian comic series. Now that we've seen more of it, are we still as wary? Sadly more so, actually.
Some would argue that she never left, that she's just staying in it, but either way, her new movie performed pretty well. So did Transformers, duh. Though Zookeeper fared less well.
Now that BBQing and fireworking and all that is done for the summer, it's time to get back to the movies. Debuting this weekend we have bad bosses, badass rappers, and bad Kevin James comedy.
Here's a trailer for the comedy Jack and Jill, in which Adam Sandler plays both a man and his horrible twin sister. So... yeah. Al Pacino and Katie Holmes are in this too.
Here's a trailer for The Undefeated, the ironically named new "documentary" about Sarah Palin and her quest for world domination. The trailer is as exaggerated as Palin's talking points. Add in the fact that it's a piece of Palin-commissioned propaganda disguised as a political documentary, and the whole thing becomes even more ridiculous. [via Breitbart.tv]
