Jack Black as an albino! A real black dude yelling, “I’m from Brooklyn motherf***er!” The red-band teaser trailer (who knew, right?) for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder has arrived and it packs a soap-in-mouth wallop. Unfortunately, the characters are layered over footage from the film, so for the trailer’s entire duration you’re looking for an “X CLOSE” so you can get rid of the Flash and enjoy it....

WTF: Fake National Anthem From ‘Borat’ Played At Sports Medal Ceremony By Russ Fischer/March 23, 2012 12:30 pm EST Imagine being a competitor in a sport. You’re from the US, and after placing in the top rounds, you’re about to take your podium at the medal ceremony… when, instead of ‘The Star Spangled Banner,’ the event organizers cue up ‘America! F*** Yeah!’ from Team America: World Police. A near-equivalent version of that happened at the culmination of a shooting competition in Kuwait this week, when gold medalist Maria Dmitrienko of Kazakhstan was greeted at the podium with the fake national anthem created by Sacha Baron Cohen for the film Borat....

‘Beckett’ Trailer: John David Washington Goes To Greece And Has A Bad Time In New Netflix Thriller By Jeremy Mathai/July 1, 2021 9:13 am EST I’m a simple man. You tell me Vicky Krieps has a major part in a new movie, and I will absolutely make sure that I watch that movie. It’s as straightforward as that. Hot off her role in M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming horror/thriller Old and after her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterful Phantom Thread, Krieps is literally the only person who matters who’ll be starring in the soon-to-be-released Netflix movie, Beckett....

By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 3, 2021 9:39 am EST Thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the return of movie theaters has been a little bit wonky. That’s because the major studios have been trying out hybrid theatrical and streaming releases for movies like Black Widow, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and The Boss Baby: Family Business to give audiences a safe option for seeing the latest releases....
‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Clip: Paul Rudd Meets Some Mini Stay-Puft Marshmallow Men By Chris Evangelista/April 7, 2021 8:00 am EST The first clip for Ghostbusters: Afterlife is here, and it’s…well, it’s questionable, at best. The clip features Paul Rudd’s character encountering a gaggle of mini Stay-Puft Marshmallow Men in the supermarket. And for all the talk about how Afterlife is going to take the series back to its roots, the vibe here feels absolutely nothing like the original Ghostbusters....
‘Infinity Pool’, The Next Movie From Brandon Cronenberg, Casts Alexander Skarsgard By Chris Evangelista/June 24, 2021 8:17 am EST Alexander Skarsgård is ready to dive headfirst into the Infinity Pool. The new sci-fi thriller comes from Brandon Cronenberg, the director behind the ultra-gory Possessor, which means it’s immediately a movie worth checking out.

Jonah Jameson By Ethan Anderton/July 3, 2021 8:16 am EST Marvel Studios must be gearing up to release the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, because the merchandise inspired by the movie began to surface this past week.

‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ Brought Back A Familiar Bounty Hunter In A Really Messed-Up Way By Ethan Anderton/May 7, 2020 11:30 am EST Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brings back a lot of characters from the original trilogy and features plenty of nostalgic references to the history of the sci-fi saga.

The Last Cruise Trailer Using footage recorded by its passengers and crew, The Last Cruise offers a first-person account of what it was like to be stuck in the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise. Directed and produced by Hannah Olson and produced by Shane Boris, Joe Beshenkovsky, and James A Smith, The Last Cruise is a bit of a depressing documentary due in part to its release by HBO before the pandemic has even ended....
‘Tom And Jerry’ Review: Honestly, There’s No Need For A Catchy Headline Because This Movie Is Just Terrible By Josh Spiegel/Feb. 26, 2021 9:00 am EST I spent a large chunk of the experience of watching Tom & Jerry thinking about the late Bob Hoskins. As I watched talented actors struggle their way through a creaky script that could have just as easily been unearthed from a time capsule of the 1990s, or the 1970s, or the 1950s, and spruced up a bit, I thought about how difficult it truly must have been for Hoskins to not only “interact” with animated characters in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but how few actors since have effectively followed his example....
By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 22, 2021 11:00 am EST This theatrical feature film marks the big-screen debut for Zatanna, who first appeared in live-action on later seasons of the CW show Smallville, played by Serinda Swan. More significantly, the Zatanna movie marks the first DC heroine to headline a DC Films entry after Wonder Woman — recently announced female heroes like Supergirl (to be played by The Young and the Restless star Sasha Calle in The Flash) make their debuts in supporting roles instead of standalone films....
Babylon 5 Reboot Coming To The CW From Original Creator Warner Bros. Television By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 27, 2021 3:04 pm EST There’s a throwaway joke in the video game “Control” about how reboots and remakes of certain genres of television shows are actually the sneaky manipulations of a secretive and sinister government organization, all in an attempt to make an unsuspecting public more receptive to outlandish ideas and — essentially — easier to control....
