17 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Second trailer for this 3D animated comedy, and this time it's focusing on arch villain Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) trying to break into the headquarters of a rival bad guy. This looks like fun and the bit with the shark had me howling. Check it out on July 9.
A second trailer for the new Holmes fllck with Robert Downey Jr. in the title role aided by Jude Law as Watson. Pretty sure this will have awesome written all over it. Plan a trip to Baker Street for Christmas day.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
There's some serious spectacle at work here. Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this adaptation of a video game I've never played, but I'm pretty sure that's not necessary. It seems tailor-made to be a summer blockbuster, which is good because it comes out on May 28.

'Gossip Girl' threesome: do parents really have reason to worry?
6 November 2009 4:05 PM, PST | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
Tantalizing promos that tease a possible sexual threesome during the Nov. 9 episode of Gossip Girl may have ticked off the Parents Television Council but it seems unlikely the CW will give the advocacy group anything to complain about to the FCC. Though the CW wouldn't comment on next week's episode, those familiar with the network's standards and practices procedures say the infamous Without a Trace teen orgy scene on CBS had a big impact on how the CW depicts sexual intercourse between teen characters, especially on Gossip Girl. In 2006, the FCC fined 111 CBS affiliates a record $3.6 million for airing what »

Review: 'Two Girls and a Guy' on Blu-ray
6 November 2009 1:07 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
When an actor or director suddenly breaks out and gets hot, studios scour their vaults to see if there’s a way they can capitalize on this heat. Last year, Robert Downey, Jr. went from a troubled, gifted actor to a Super Star thanks to his performance in Iron Man. This week, 20th Century-Fox hopes to catch a break with the Blu-ray release of Downey’s 1998 film Two Girls and a Guy.
Written and direct by James Toback, the film is virtually a real time three-person stage play on a film. In his self-congratulatory 20 minute conversation on the Extras, Toback talks about how he came to write the film, by beginning to imagine a setting. In this case, that’s the spacious loft apartment which became the set his performances would use. After that, he populated the apartment with his players.

Video: Sherlock Holmes Fights To Save England
5 November 2009 2:20 PM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Rollicking fight scenes. Sexual innuendo. Witty repartee. Mystery. The new trailer for Sherlock Holmes has it all. In the upcoming flick, directed Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr. plays Holmes as a brilliant, feisty - and ripped - detective on a mission to save England from his nemesis played by Mark Strong. "Tomorrow, the world as you know it … will end," says a foreboding voice over from Strong. "Well, there isn't any time to waste then," quips Holmes before leaping out a window. Together, Holmes and his loyal colleague Watson (Jude Law) embark on a wild ride to thwart the evil plan. »

Action-Packed Fourth Sherlock Holmes Trailer
5 November 2009 8:40 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
These Sherlock Holmes trailers just keep on coming, don’t they? An action-packed fourth one has appeared online over at MTV, and we have it here for your viewing pleasure. We’ve seen plenty of action in all the other trailers for the movie – including explosions, chases and hand-to-hand combat – but this latest trailer really turns up the action significantly.
Just as a reminder, Sherlock Holmes stars Robert Downey Jr. as the titular detective, and it co-stars Jude Law as his faithful assistant, Dr. Watson. Mark Strong plays the villain, Lord Blackwood and Rachel McAdams is the beautiful love interest, Irene Adler. Directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), this fresh take on the classic detective character makes use of some things not seen in most Holmes tellings, namely his often-forgotten martial arts skills.
And now here’s the latest Sherlock Holmes trailer, courtesy of Trailer »

New 'Sherlock Holmes' trailer: Magical mystery
5 November 2009 8:31 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The newest Sherlock Holmes trailer is out, and boy is it muscular and sassy! Generally, those are two great tastes that taste great together: It's not hugely different than the other trailers we've already seen, but at least it mercifully excludes the truly terrible tagline "Holmes for the holiday," which makes me want to cry (in a bad way). I'm usually on Team Deductive Reasoning and not Team Blow Stuff Up, but between the always-alluring Robert Downey, Jr., the very pretty Jude Law, the under-appreciated Rachel McAdams, and lots of flirtatious banter, this movie might suck me in. How about you, »

Examining The New 'Sherlock Holmes' Trailer
5 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From MTV.Com: Early this year, when MTV News visited the New York set of "Sherlock Holmes," Robert Downey Jr. promised that his take on the masterful inspector would emphasize brawn as much as brains.
"He's a total badass," the Oscar nominee said. "He thinks through all eventualities, possibilities and counterattacks when he's fighting, so he actually has the fight worked out before he starts."

Galifianakis Inks Another Deal, Joins 'Puss in Boots'
5 November 2009 7:52 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Didn't I just say Zach Galifianakis has had a great year, with The Hangover leading to several big casting announcements in the past four months? I'm sorry if that sounds a bit like an admonition, but with five new projects handed to him since July, maybe he should get a stern talking to. Let's just hope they're up to snuff; none of them sound bad on the surface, so maybe it's the perfect storm of comedy scripts.
Galifianakis has said yes once again, joining the cast of the Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots. Ever since the Antonio Banderas character was introduced in Shrek II, there has been talk of him getting his own movie and possibly a start-up franchise. Why it's taken so long, I have no idea. The Hollywood Reporter says a new version of the script is being written, so clearly DreamWorks didn't like what it had to this point. »

Review: ‘Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant’ just for built-in fans
5 November 2009 6:53 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
The recent rise in melodramatic teen vampire fare has been interesting to witness. From the golden-hearted sparkling heartthrob in Twilight to the multitude of sappy TV dramas (sans True Blood), the watering down of the classic (and dapper!) “monster” from Eastern Europe has been both sad and alluring. It’s like passing by a car accident between a truckload of Nerf balls and the Munster-mobile.
In the case of Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, the Nerf truck totally decimated the poor Munster car. Soft in the middle and tragically predictable, the latest from Paul Weitz (brother to New Moon’s Chris Weitz) is fitting for its target audience, but doesn’t have enough meat for the entire family. For a movie based on a series of books aimed at the young adult genre, the film does a fantastic job of entertaining its core but doesn’t leave much for anybody over 16-years-old. »

tMF Controversial: What? There's gay undertone in the latest Sherlock Holmes trailer?

It's been a long, interesting ride for the Sherlock Holmes promotional campaign, which began with a shot of Robert Downey Jr stripped to the waist and now finishes with a final trailer full of homoerotic banter. "This is not your father's Sherlock Holmes!" the trailer cries. "Did your father's Sherlock Holmes flirt with Watson all day? Did he sublimate his sexual urges for Jude Law into a simultaneous, side-by-side orgasm of gunfire? [ read more ]
Other blogs are not as provocative as Movieline's take on the latest trailer. Total Film simply took note of the additional scenes and the music, saying: There are a few more story fragments and a snippet or two of fresh footage, »

New Sherlock Holmes trailer is here!

Another new trailer for Guy Ritchie's comedy/action-fueled take on Sherlock Holmes has arrived online and you can inspect it below. There are a few more story fragments and a snippet or two of fresh footage, but it's largely what we've seen before, albeit with the action ramped up and the music more boisterous - Robert Downey Jr's Holmes being a smart arse, Jude Law's Watson getting infuriated, Mark Strong's villainous Lord Blackwood making ominous threats. We doubt anyone's mind will really be changed by this one - those who are ready...

Cool new 'Sherlock Holmes' trailer delivers!
5 November 2009 12:12 AM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
The more I see of Guy Ritchie's upcoming "Sherlock Holmes" adventure, the more I'm excited to see this film. A brand-new trailer just exploded onto the Web, and you can watch it after the jump.
As you can see below, this new trailer features a whole bunch of new footage, most of which looks really cool. It's a visually interesting and action-packed preview that works for me on several levels.
The focus of this preview is obviously the particular relationship between Holmes and Watson, and it looks like Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law really have what it takes to pull this off. »
