Wrestling your emotions 11/21/2008
1 Comment
 

Gripping, powerful and moving...and that's just a trailer. See what everyone is talking about with the new glorious trailer for Darren Oronofsky's The Wrestler. For those who read the site, you know this is my top anticipated movie of the fall next to Benjamin Button, and this trailer couldn't make me more excited. The film is a character study involving retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson as he makes his way through the independent circuit, trying to get back in the game for one final showdown with his former rival.

Is it time to "Bolt" to the theater? 11/20/2008

Darcie caught Disney's Bolt yesterday, click over to our REVIEW SECTION and see what she thought.  Personally I was a little less impressed with the film, but the 3D sure is jaw drop inducing, and the film is unoffensive enough to be an enjoyable night out if you got littl'uns.

Coraline Trailer hits 11/20/2008
0 Comments
 

Henry 'Yes I Made Nightmare Before Christmas" Selick directs the story adapted from the Hugo Award-winning, internationally best-selling novel. Coraline is a spine-tingling tale about a curious girl who unlocks a mysterious door in her family's new home and enters into an adventure in a parallel reality. On the surface, this "Other World" eerily mimics her own life - though it is much more fantastical. In it, Coraline encounters different versions of her own life, including off-kilter neighbors and an Other Mother who attempts to keep her forever. Ultimately, Coraline must rely on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to get back home.

DVD Tuesday might be officially gone forever 11/20/2008
1 Comment
 

Hollywood studios appear to be abandoning Tuesday as the traditional release day for new DVDs, Video Business observed on its website Tuesday. The trade publication noted that Paramount, Sony and Anchor Bay Entertainment are all releasing new titles on different days in the fourth quarter. Paramount, in fact, plans to release three films on December 28, a Sunday. The films are Eagle Eye, Ghost Town, and The Duchess. Meanwhile Sony is releasing The House Bunny and Anchor Bay, Traitor, on December 19, a Friday. Video Business has noted that the non-Tuesday releases will likely encourage retailers to break the official street date since it will be difficult to police the movable dates. Tom Paine, owner of the DVD Now chain, told the publication, "Everyone will just have their own street date ... and if stores have their own dates, it will just be too chaotic."

What does this mean for your Movie Pressers out there? Well it mean's our DVD Column might shift around to a new day, but we will do everything we can to keep you in the loop.

Disney making 3D More "Beauty"-ful 11/20/2008
0 Comments
 

Disney is converting its (mostly) hand-drawn animated classic Beauty and the Beast to 3-D digital, with plans to release it in 2010, studio executives disclosed Tuesday at a 3-D technology festival in Singapore. The studio plans to apply its proprietary digital 3-D technology to the original background, effects and character elements, much as it did to its newest release, Bolt, which premieres on Friday. The entire conversion process is expected to take about nine to ten months. The studio also intends to release 3-D versions of Toy Story 2 and 3 in 2010 as well as the all-new Disney/Pixar feature Rapunzel. Disney said today (Wednesday) that it will also release five movies in 3-D IMAX in 2009-2010, beginning with A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carrey, in November 2009.

"X-Men" gets "First Class" teen writer 11/20/2008

Gossip Girl, The O.C., and Chuck fans unite! Josh Schwartz has been nabbed by 20th Century Fox to pen an X-Men: First Class screenplay. Schwartz was also offered the director's chair, but he declined, leaving the job open for now.

Word has it, all the younger kids introduced in the X-Men films will be headlining this one. Meaning Jubilee, Iceman, Colussus, and others. Anyone excited? Maybe they can re-cast Colussus as Benjamin Mckenzie, that Ryan Atwood did have a penchant for punching people in the face.

If cute-as-shittedness had a scale, Wall-E would be an 11. If there was a martial arts called Warm-Yur-Hart, Pixar would be 8th Dan black belts in it. Check out our pick of the week and all the other releases, from close seconds all the way down to dirty crap, and it's all right HERE.
