http://www.joblo.com/ JoBlo's Movie Emporium News en-US George Merchan What the heck is the deal with this ARTHUR remake? First Russell Brand is parading around in a Batman suit (made hilarious really only because he's being accompanied by the awesome Luis Guzman as Robin... oh, and let's not forget... the f*cking Batmobile, too?) and now this? Thanks to his character's great wealth, does he buy the car or have somebody build it for him? It's just... shit, I don't know. I'm just not...

I'm seriously ready for the movie to come out. This exclusive reel from The Sun put me over the edge after I watched it. There's so much funny stuff in this one video. Plus, there's this one part where Mark Wahlberg comes onto Eva Mendes and I did not at all expect it. Another thing I got excited about was the quick flash of Michael Keaton. Also, did...

The trailer provided so many epic things. Mostly boobs, weapons, and action. Well, it's more than boobs, as a woman I hate to degrade women that that, but these are some sexy ladies kicking ass! If you thought the character posters were awesome, then you might like what I have to show you. Each of the ladies are gorgeously depicted in this character artwork from...

When our very own, Chris Bumbray reviewed CATFISH (odd title) after he saw it during Sundance, he couldn't provide much. After you watch the trailer, you'll realize why. Bumbray advised me that the story is true. The guys who made the film actually had a production company and they shared an office with Nev, the director Ariel Schulman's Brother. In order to test out...

Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, Jason Bateman and Joe LoTruglio? That's like a comedy all-star team. (And star Kristen Wiig wasn't even able to make it.) The footage shown started out with shots from the recreated Comic-Con in the film, which certainly got the Hall H crew excited. We were...

I won't say that the footage absolutely blew away the audience 300-style but it certainly left them wanting more. We got a chance to catch up with director Zack Snyder, his producer wife Deborah and star Jamie Chung at Comic-Con to talk a little bit more about the film. And if...

Yes, there have been a lot of INCEPTION trailer mashups, as that score really goes with anything, and I think the TOY STORY one is still my favorite, but BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT INCEPTION (via FilmDrunk) is certainly worth watching too.

Originally some sort of kidnap thriller, the plot turned unexpectedly sci-fi with Rambo hunting some sort of weird wolf/panther creature in the jungle. Remember this bizarre, supposedly legit teaser poster?  Well Stallone decided the whole concept of a fifth movie wasn’t the best idea for the charater saying, "The...

These are the kind of phone calls I get from my mom recently, as SCREAM 4 currently films in my hometown of Plymouth, Michigan.

Unlike the Marvel panel, they were able to keep their big surprise - the appearances of Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde and, most importantly, Harrison Ford - from the Hall H faithful. Not to mention Favreau was able to cut together a good five minutes of footage from the film despite having only about three weeks of shooting underway (compare that...

But that's all about to change. Starting with THE BOOK OF ELI, THE BOUNTY HUNTER, GREEN ZONE and BROOKLYN'S FINEST, Redbox will begin rolling out Blu-ray rentals to approximately half of its kiosks with all of them expected to participate by late fall.

Anyone who's watched movies for long enough is sure to have noticed this. The boys over at CollegeHumor certainly have, and they've distilled two films down into a single short funny video that highlights the issue. ˇVaya con Dios!
