President Lyndon Baines Johnson had the most dramatic ascension to the Oval Office in recent history, so it’s about time we got a big screen dramatic rendering of those events and the presidency that followed. It’s LBJ, starring Woody Harrelson as the eccentric Texan president who signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. LBJ is […]

Magic Bench: Disney’s New Mixed Reality Toy (Video)
The Disney R&D people may have finally lost it. I say that because they have spent millions of dollars on a new project called Magic Bench, which I’m pretty sure is just a gussied-up version of the ghost-in-the-car gag at the end of The Haunted Mansion ride. That’s probably being a little harsh on it, […]

‘Suburbicon': George Clooney’s Next Movie is Based on a Coen Bros. Script (Trailer)
George Clooney and the fabulous Coen brothers have collaborated many times, but usually with the Coens writing/directing and George acting. Their next joint, Suburbicon, is a different permutation, with George behind the camera working with a Coen script.

‘Public Enemies: Jay-Z vs Kanye’ Documentary Airing Soon in UK (Trailer)
I fully admit I’m far from a rap beef scholar, but I still feel more or less secure in saying that it seems like the Kanye/Jay-Z feud is a little fresh to already be the subject of a documentary, and a British one no less. And yet, Public Enemies: Jay-Z vs Kanye is set to […]

‘The Vault': A Bank Job / Horror Movie Starring James Franco (Trailer)
As a filmgoer I tend to be enthusiastic for any unusual generic combinations – for instance, there aren’t very many movies that combine bank robbery with horror, and that’s the novel combo promised by The Vault, a new upcoming horror movie with a creepy trailer now on the internet. The Vault is about two sisters […]

“The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom”: Nick Teases Stop-Motion ‘SpongeBob’ Ep (Video)
SpongeBob SquarePants has been on the air since (slight exaggeration to follow) 1958, and yet somehow they’ve never thought to do a stop-motion animated episode until now. This Halloween will see the premiere of “The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom,” at long last. “The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom” will give fans a look at how SpongeBob’s […]

‘LEGO in Real Life': A Stop-Motion LEGO Short Film from BrickBrosProductions (Video)
The fundamental appeal of LEGO is that the little colorful building bricks can be combined to make just about anything your imagination can come up with. Nevertheless, it’s hard for me to imagine LEGO bricks being used to make something that looks appetizing, or at least it was before I saw LEGO in Real Life […]

‘My Friend Dahmer': Jeffrey Dahmer Begins (Trailer)
This weekend was San Diego Comic-Con, which always brings with it a deluge of trailers, teasers, posters, and other promotional materials for the next year and change worth of pop culture stuff. I don’t think the new teaser for My Friend Dahmer is a part of that deluge, but it’s nevertheless fun to imagine a […]

Radio Flyer ‘Star Wars’ Landspeeder: You Know, for Jedi
When the original Star Wars movie came out, the Hollywood Toy Industrial Complex was still churning out cheap Planet of the Apes action figures, and was nowhere near its current size and power. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for why it’s taken 40 years for the Radio Flyer Star Wars Landspeeder […]
