Trailer for ‘Tetris: The Movie’ is Fake, Thank God
Can you blame anyone for thinking that Hollywood is cooking up a movie based on the video game Tetris? It may not have a story or any characters, but it’s a recognizable brand name and sometimes, it seems like that’s all that matters. The following trailer is a joke from a group of talented filmmakers, but we worry that a producer or two may see this video and get the wrong idea.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Men in Black 3′ Takes a Dive
It took four weeks for another film to dethrone ‘The Avengers‘ from the top of the box office, but that dethroning occurred with a whimper, not a battle cry. ‘Men in Black 3‘ arrived on the scene and proved that advance hype and high tracking are abstract concepts that don’t always reflect reality. $55 million isn’t an opening that’ll have executives committing seppuku, but for a film that was exp
RIP: Janet Carroll, the Mom From ‘Risky Business’
Not every actor can be a star, but plenty of them can become one of “those guys.” While we may not know the performer’s name, we certainly recognize their face. We know them from somewhere and that’s enough. Seeing a familiar working actor pop up here and there is just plain comforting. Jane Carroll was a lifelong member of the “those guys” club. She passed away on Tuesday after a lengthy battle w
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Avengers’ Sinks ‘Battleship’
‘Battleship‘ was supposed to be the film that nudged ‘The Avengers‘ out of the number one spot at the box office, but instead you can just go ahead and insert your own “You sank my battleship!” joke here. ‘The Avengers’ didn’t cling to the top spot for the third week in a row, it dominated the top spot for the third week in a row, taking in another $55 million for a grand domestic total of $457 mi
Will Smith Performs the ‘Fresh Prince’ Theme on BBC
Will Smith may be the biggest movie star in the world, but his millions of fans will never let him forget his humble beginnings as the star of ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ While in England to promote the release of ‘Men in Black 3,’ Smith was coerced into performing the show’s iconic theme song on ‘The Graham Norton Show.’ And yeah, it’s kind of awesome.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Avengers’ Destroy ‘Dark Shadows’
Poor Barnabas Collins never stood a chance. Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows‘ found itself clobbered to death over the weekend courtesy of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who rode a perfect cocktail of hype and stellar word-of-mouth to an unprecedented second weekend. It’s no longer a question of whether or not ‘The Avengers‘ will be one of the biggest movies of all time, mainly because it already is one of t
SNL: A Hilarious Cold Commercial With Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig
If there’s one thing Saturday Night Live has been getting right for decades now, it’s commercial parodies. Cheesy cold commercials may be an easy target, but that doesn’t make this sketch starring Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig any less funny.
SNL: Will Ferrell Wishes His Mom a Happy Mother’s Day
Will Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live last night for hosting duties and during his opening monologue, he noted that it was going to be Mother’s Day in twenty minutes. Never one to avoid any possible gag, Ferrell did the appropriate thing: he brought his own mother out on stage.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Avengers’ Smashes Records
We knew it was going to make a lot of money. We knew there was a possibility that it would break box office records. What we didn’t know was that ‘The Avengers’ wasn’t just going to break the record for biggest box office opening of all time — it was going to smash it. Obliterate it. Pulverize it. Treat it like the Hulk treats puny human architecture. In three days, ‘The Avengers‘ took in over $20
SNL: Cheech and Chong’s Mysterious Third Partner

‘The Avengers’ Has the Second Biggest Opening Day of All Time
Hey, have you heard about this little movie called ‘The Avengers‘? Oh, you haven’t? That’s okay. It’s not like a lot of people are going it to see it. After all, it only made $80.5 million yesterday.
Weekend Box Office Report: Everyone in the World is Seeing ‘The Avengers’ Before You
Normally, the Weekend Box Office Report tends to shy away from covering the international box office. However, we’re making an exception this week, mainly because the domestic box office was hopelessly anemic and ‘The Avengers‘ opened everywhere not called the United States and took in an absolutely absurd amount of cash. Between 39 territories, Marvel’s hotly anticipated Superhero Team-Up Extrava
