Trailers Without Pity: Monsters vs. Aliens

Everybody loves monsters and aliens. After all, they've been making movies about monsters since movies were invented, and aliens since aliens were invented! So it's about time that someone decided to make them fight. In 3-D, no less! The Super Gallaga Bros. have released their latest trailer review, this time of Dreamworks' Monsters vs. Aliens, and it's almost as funny as the trailer makes the movie look. Almost. They nearly put themselves over with "happy eye boogers," but we'll let you be the judge. See the newest episode of "Trailers Without Pity" after the jump!

Tron Ditches The 2, Snags a Lead

Relative Hollywood newcomer Garrett Hedlund's IMDb page will now be bookended with similar credits, as the actor, who got his start in 2004's Troy, has just been cast as the lead in 2011's Tron. And yes, that whole Tron 2.0 - TR2N - Tron 2 business has finally been put to rest, as the sequel to the 1982 cult classic has finally settled on a title, which will be... the exact same as the original.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Say 'Oui' to Tintin

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Say 'Oui' to Tintin

While some people were excited to see Titanic duo Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio teaming up again for Revolutionary Road, some of us were eagerly waiting for another big movie pair-up... for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, co-stars of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Not only will they buddy up again as comic book geeks for 2010's Paul (which the two also wrote) but they've also just been confirmed for Steven Spielberg's big-screen adaptation of Belgian artist Hergé's comic strips, The Adventures of Tintin. The two will play Thompson and Thompson, a pair of bumbling detectives who will be showing up earlier in than they did in Hergé's work, where they first stumbled onto the scene in Tintin's fourth adventure.

G-Force Movie is Totally Not What I Thought It Was

G-Force Movie is Totally Not What I Thought It Was

Have you ever bit into a Jelly Belly jellybean, expecting it to be something tasty, like Toasted Marshmallow, but instead it's something nasty, like Buttered Popcorn? I totally got ready for marshmallows when I saw a news story that announced that there was a trailer out for the movie G-Force. I was like, "Awesome! Finally, a full trailer for the sure-to-be-excellent computer-animated movie about a team of five crime fighters in bird suits, based on the Japanese cartoon of the same name that I grew up watching!" Then I clicked the link, and the taste of Buttered Popcorn jellybeans filled my mouth. G-Force the movie is something totally, totally different, and totally, totally nauseating.

America Says 'Yes' to Jim Carrey

America Says 'Yes' to Jim Carrey

Apparently, Jim Carrey still has it, as his wacky comedy Liar, Liar-- uh, we mean Yes Man topped the box office this weekend, beating out Will "I am Box Office Legend" Smith's sad-looking Seven Pounds. But just barely -- Jimbo got $18.1 million, while Big Willy got an even $16 mill. Still, they were the standouts of the weekend, which remained mellow in the face of holiday shopping. (Expect the holiday weekend, with its six major releases, to turn everything on its ear.)

TR2N (a.k.a. Tron 2) Downloads Two Lead Actresses

TR2N (a.k.a. Tron 2) Downloads Two Lead Actresses

Way back in July, Comic-Con attendees got a taste of the long-rumored Tron sequel in the form of teaser footage showing Jeff Bridges as once-heroic Kevin Flynn, seemingly gone bad. There were special effects, even, and a Light Cycle chase! It seemed like things were well underway and on target for that 2010 release date. Now comes news that they've only just begun hiring the actors.

Top Ten Other Possible Titles For the Planet of the Apes Prequel

by Tippi Blevins December 2, 2008 1:40 PM
There's a Planet of the Apes prequel currently in development at Fox. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Possibly like in an advanced civilization of simians, there'll be a mix of both. The project is tentatively titled Caesar -- not for the pizza, or the Roman emperor, or the salad. Caesar, as you may or may not recall, is the intelligent ape who goes, well, apeshit after pal Ricardo Montalban is killed in 1972's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Writer/director Scott Frank wants to make a movie based on character and science, not talking chimps and "antic ape action." Problem is, the title isn't very evocative of any kind of ape action. They need something that gets people primed for primates. Here are a few suggestions:

Four Christmases Tops Thanksgiving Box Office

Four Christmases Tops Thanksgiving Box Office

A holiday-themed movie made the most of the long holiday weekend, as Four Christmases easily unseated Twilight for the top spot at the weekend box office. In fact, even Bolt edged in, leaving Twilight in third for the weekend.

Bolt Vs. Twilight: Who'll Be Licking Their Wounds?

Bolt Vs. Twilight: Who'll Be Licking Their Wounds?

So, on a whim I decided to have lunch at celebrity hotspot the Ivy yesterday. That's right, I just hopped in my private jet and flew three hours for an overpriced salad. And it's a good thing I did, too, because I'm able to bring you a conversation I overheard between the canine star of Bolt and what I gathered was his agent. Seems the pooch is worried about being able to pull in big box office numbers for his bosses at Disney, and why wouldn't he be? He faces some stiff competition.

Speaking of Armageddon, Here's Alvin and the Chipmunks 2

Speaking of Armageddon, Here's Alvin and the Chipmunks 2

I know that there were plenty of fans of last year's Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. I mean, there had to have been -- it made over $200 million at the box office. I, however, was not one of them. When the trailer came on in the theater I was sitting in, I remember actually willing one of the springs in the seat back to pop loose and stab me in the chest so I didn't have to watch the rest of it. Imagine my horror this morning when I happened across an MTV.com article where the producers announced there would be another film. And they're calling this one a "squeakuel." Kill me now.
