Where the Wild Things Are trailer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Trailers
The official trailer for Where the Wild Things Are debuted this morning on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and immediately caused many to start frothing at the mouth due to it’s high level of awesome. We must say, after watching it a few times, this has got to be one of the most beautiful movie trailers we’ve seen in, well, ever. For those unfamiliar, Where the Wild Things Are is an adaptation of a children’s story written by Maurice Sendek about a disobedient boy named Max who gets sent to bed without supper (or, dinner, as we call it.) He then creates an imaginary forest world that is inhabited by wild creatures who crown him as their ruler.
The movie hits theaters on October 16th, 2009.
Poster Unveiled for Where the Wild Things Are
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Upcoming Releases

I have no idea why children might run crying from this movie.
After enduring rumors of reshoots and terrifying test screenings, Spike Jonze‘s Where the Wild Things Are will finally unfold in theaters on October 16. (That’s nearly one year after its original release date.) The adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s popular children’s book will combine live-action, CGI, animatronics and enormous puppets to tell its story.
The film, shot in Australia, stars Forest Whitaker, Paul Dano and Catherine Kenner. You can see two more stills from movie after the jump.

Jessica Biel Turns to Stripping for Powder Blue
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Independent, Casting, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
For some reason, Justin Timberlake’s ladies really like working a pole.
In the upcoming movie, Powder Blue, four random characters find themselves coming together on Christmas Eve. Jessica Biel, who once again aims to be remembered for her acting, will play a stripper trying to raise funds for her terminally-ill son.
As you can see in the trailer, the producers have relied on very little words - and many images of Jessica - to draw you into the story. (In case the quick edits had you wondering, that was an egg you saw cracked on Biel’s chest.)
Powder Blue also stars Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta and Patrick Swayze. The movie is scheduled for release sometime in 2009.
Box Office Breakdown: Forbidden Kingdom Kicks Past Forgetting Sarah

Favorable reviews and Judd Apatow’s association helped Forgetting Sarah Marshall nab a second place finish this past weekend. While some may have expected the adult comedy to debut at #1, the movie was unfortunately inaccessible to large segment of ticket buyers.
Meanwhile, Marshall‘s R-rated raunch allowed fellow new entry The Forbidden Kingdom to edge right past it. The action film, which brought martial artists Jackie Chan and Jet Li together for the first time, earned $21.4 million—just enough for the win.

Memorable Moments from the Unmemorable Academy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards, Celeb News

Last night’s Best Actor categories were as predictable as the Best Actress races were surprising. Yesterday’s ceremony was also as disappointing as it was routine.
For months now, we’d been hearing about several plans being orchestrated for the Academy Awards. If the writers’ strike was still in effect, the producers swore the telecast would continue with packages that celebrated Oscar’s 80-year history. Interestingly enough, even with the scribes back at work, the show was still horribly written and crammed with unnecessary fillers. (Even I could have penned ‘the always Fantastic…Jessica Alba’.)
As it was, the winners appeared to have been given less time last night to accept their awards than ever. (Which may or may not have been a good thing.) But did Javier Bardem really need to rush his lovely speech to his mother? Did the organizers have to reshow the previous awards presentations? Did the AMPAS President really need to waste time explaining how the selection process is done??
