See Mark Wahlberg Return To a Life of Duct Tape-Assisted Crime in the Contraband Trailer

Posted on September 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Did you guys realize that Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale were starring in a little heist movie called Contraband ? Me neither, but that’s probably because Universal has quietly scheduled the film, from Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur, for a quiet box office death release next January. But we’re going to need something to watch during that winter wasteland month so let’s take a look and see if super-angry Mark Wahlberg, his abs, and and Kate Beckinsale undressing for the camera can’t motivate us to buy tickets.

Catwoman’s Iconic Look Through the Decades — Who Wore it Best?

Posted on August 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

All this fuss over the first look at Anne Hathaway ‘s maybe-official Catwoman garb in The Dark Knight Rises brings to mind Selina Kyle’s sartorial choices over the years, since her 1940 debut in Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s Batman #1 comic. Much has changed through the decades, from Catwoman’s sultry swingin’ ’60s shimmer to, well, Halle Berry’s unfortunate bra ‘n’ leather pants getup. Will Hathaway’s be-goggled Selina Kyle fare any better than her predecessors?

Posted on August 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If you think the comedic body-switch is a tired movie conceit, you’re not alone — or rather, you’re not original: We were thinking that way back in 1989! In a new video that mashes up the trailer for The Change-Up with Big , Vice Versa , Freaky Friday , 13 Going on 30 and many others, we see just how formulaic this cinematic trope can be. Fred Savage, your agitated comic timing remains admirable.

Earlier on Thursday, Variety reported that Eli Roth is designing a Hostel -themed maze for Universal Studios Hollywood’s “Halloween Horror Nights” theme park franchise.
