Calling a book a classic is a peculiar damnation, a way of simultaneously placing it on a pedestal and shutting it into a musty old box. As much as we all groan when we hear that yet another great book is set to be “ruined” by some assuredly hapless filmmaker, movies are often the only thing that can save books from themselves — or, rather, from our calcified ideas of what certain books have to be.

As the greatest female pop vocalist of the last half-century, Dionne Warwick doesn’t need to go off and do a season of Celebrity Apprentice to retain her place in the American cultural canon. The American cultural consciousness, however? OK, sure. Cosmically unfair as it is, the woman who made swinging, tearjerking hits of Bacharach/David masterpieces like “Walk on By” and “Anyone Who Had a Heart” has slid to sub-Carnie Wilson depths of recognition — a criminal oversight worthy of a prime-time, mass-market correction whose time has come, starting with Sunday’s season premiere. This will happen .

Back in 2006, Topher Grace wrapped production on That ’70s Show and transitioned seamlessly into the ’80s. That is, the Connecticut-raised actor starred in (and executive produced) an ’80s romantic comedy opposite Teresa Palmer , Anna Faris and Dan Fogler called Take Me Home Tonight . And this weekend, after a few years and a few distribution switch-ups, the film is finally being released .

In case you missed it the first time , Michael Bay has recently reiterated that, like most of us, he realizes that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was pretty awful and again vowed that Transformers: Dark of the Moon will be the opposite of that. But does this candor about the last film mean we can take Bay at his word? To investigate, let’s take a look back at what Bay was saying about the last film before the reviews came in.

There’s nothing weirder than someone else’s nostalgia. Case in point: The animated series ReBoot (the first two seasons of which Shout! Factory is releasing on DVD this week), hailed as the first completely computer-animated half-hour TV series. If you were young enough to be watching Saturday morning cartoons in 1994, when the series debuted, you may be excited about revisiting Guardian Bob and his adventures in protecting the Mainframe from Megabyte. Those of us without fond memories are more likely to look at this rudimentary animation and cringe a bit at how far the medium has come in a relatively short time.

An Oscar is a funny thing. Winning one means you’re a respected thespian, but as 1966’s Best Supporting Actress Sandy Dennis once noted, it also means you can’t be new again. Some Oscar-winners find themselves taking less-than-stellar roles after their big night at the Kodak, and we’re commemorating eight whose next trip to the silver screen was a marked downgrade.

I usually avoid trailers for martial arts film altogether because, let’s face it, it’s not too hard to make even the worse film in this genre look mind-blowing and cool in an two-minute trailer. And while the fight choreography in Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zen indeed looks awesome, I was struck more by the chaotic opening war scene and the gorgeous period detail here, both of which set this one way ahead of the pack. At least as far as trailers go. Also, the director of Infernal Affairs , the original Hong Kong version of The Departed , is in charge here, so maybe we can expect a fun, convoluted narrative to compliment the action?

Forget Drive Angry and please, please forget Bad Teacher ; if any movie was ever justified in jumping on this red-band trailer trend, its Rubber . I mean, points for effort , but how are you supposed to sell a high concept movie about a tire that can explode people’s heads without actually showing some exploding heads? Or at least an exploding bunny. Thus, I present the just-released red-band trailer for Rubber which features all sorts of creatures exploding. Only, why does this suddenly look like an art film?
