Your challenge: create a movie title, high concept plot idea or one-sheet tagline in the comments below. It’s wicked fun!
If you’ve been hurtin’ for some prime Travolta action not satiated by the likes of Hairspray and Wild Hogs, you’re in luck. Bolt opens today. Knowing will explore Nicolas Cage’s creepy, paranoid, not at all overacting [...]

Wow! I have to say I’m a bit surprised by the marketing tactics behind this new Katherine Heigl one-sheet.It’s a little wordy for my taste, but one has to admire the bold honesty of putting it out there. (image courtesy of TheBadandUgly.com)

This is how you do it, movie marketers.I thought the first Hellboy was fine, not great, but this is one gorgeous, iconic-looking poster and the trailer delivers, too. Del Toro’s stock is quite a bit higher than it was in 2004, so I’m hoping that Golden Army has got the goods. It opens July 11. [...]

I know I’ve railed just recently about how very very derivative Hollywood can be. But isn’t this American Teen one-sheet (click to see it larger) just really going ridiculously far? I understand that it’s a documentary and as such may find some challenges in marketing itself as a viable piece of movie entertainment. But it’s [...]

The newest and snarkiest
11.20.2008
Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)(2)
11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)
11.14.2008I’m not sure how to say it nicely: This one-sheet is crap.
(additional thoughts about Apatow/Sandler’s collaboration here) (3)
10.23.2008What an excellent tribute to the late great movie voiceover guy Don LaFontaine. No need for more words, because the Voice already says it all:See more funny videos at Funny or Die (5)
