If there was ever a film that deserved the Honest Trailer treatment, it’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Ugh. 5 years later and I still want a refund.

Boy you said it trailer dude. My only complaint is that it’s just not quite the same with this new voice over guy. I miss the old one. Still, I got more than a few giggles out of this one.

Comic Book Movie noticed that IMDb lists Buller as playing a character named “Jenny Olsen,” with no listing for Jimmy Olsen in sight. IMDb isn’t always 100% accurate, but they get things right more often than not. Supporting this theory is a scene from the latest trailer, which shows Buller running away from an explosion with Laurence Fishburne, who plays Perry White. If this woman isn’t Man of Steel‘s Jimmy Olsen replacement, she seems at least to be a Daily Planet staffer of some sort.

Well, that’s sort of an interesting development. I’m not sure how I feel about that. But then, while…

“So much of the journey of ‘Iron Man 3’ is informed by Tony’s experiences in ‘The Avengers,’” Feige told MTV. “It’s almost like post-traumatic stress: he really has retreated after the events of ‘The Avengers’ into his workshop, where he’s building advanced versions of his suits. He has [designed] a version of the suit that can latch onto him in individual pieces ... anytime, anywhere. As he starts to realize, it’s basically because he doesn’t want to be out of the suit: he’s seen a lot of things in ‘Avengers’ and has encountered a lot of powerful people, much more powerful than he…

The second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation saw a very important addition to the crew: Commander Riker’s trademark beard. This is not that beard:

I forgot about Data’s short lived attempt at a beard. As I recall, Counsellor Troi could hardly contain herself and had to stifle the giggling as she ran from the room.

Fun stuff.

Production on Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel Studios’ first live action television series, is set to begin very soon. As of now, only a pilot has been ordered for the show, but it has gotten a head start on production over other pilots commissioned by ABC and executives will likely have a decision about it before any other new pilots, plus Joss Whedon is already working on stories for additional episodes.

Though it’s not a guarantee at this point, I think it’s a safe bet to assume this will be picked up to series and go on to be a pretty huge hit. The idea of doing a weekly series based…

Warning: The following contains massive and dynamic spoilers from the Fringe series finale.

For a moment there, as the Fringe series finale barreled toward a close, you thought it might play out another way.

But it didn’t.

Fun read, with thoughts and observations at the end. I voted for option B in the poll at the bottom. I was not completely blown away with the Series Finale, but I did think it was well above average. I’ve seen a lot of seriously stupid series finales, and this wasn’t one of them. Nothing can quite top the series finale for Stargate SGI, but I was satisfied with…

Weta Workshop did a bang up job on some of the visual effects of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. While there were some things I wasn’t too impressed with, there were other things that were just spectacular. You can read more about my likes and dislikes in my review of The Hobbit. And you can also hear me talk about it on Episode #23 of The MovieByte Podcast.

But particularly, Golum was simply fantastic CGI work. And The Goblin King wasn’t too shabby. Here’s two videos on those two CG elememnts:

Azog was a CG character I was much less impressed with, but it’s still better than…

Looper. You either loved it or hated it. Or, if you’re like us, you wrote down a list of sins you found in the film. Here’s everything we found wrong in Looper, presented in 3 minutes or less.

Be warned, there’s a little language in this “sin tally” that is ineffectively bleeped out.

Despite the fact that I enjoyed this film, I am not blind to it’s problems and was already aware of most of these “sins”, but that didn’t stop me from laughing when watching.

Have fun:

Depending on whom you ask, most members of the Fringe team have a lot to say — or at least hint at — when it comes to summing up the series finale airing Friday night. But if you ask Joshua Jackson, he boils it down to one word.

But more on that in a bit.

A fun read for Fringe fans such as myself. It’s about a 3 minute read, and there’s a slideshow of photos from the series finale at the end of the article.
