As your ninth grade English teacher once explained to you with an air of fake intrigue, William Shakespeare may not have written all of his works. Scandal! In the trailer for Roland Emmerich's new Anonymous, that theory plays out in a full period-piece drama. And like you in ninth grade, Anonymous is not aware of how overwrought it is.
Controversial documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield has taken on many a challenging subject throughout his oeuvre of muckraking exposes. Now he's turned his confrontational, self-reflexive gaze on former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin and her rise through the political ranks, in Sarah Palin - You Betcha! Needless to say, this should be the anti-Undefeated. Hit the jump to see what happens when Broomfield dares to challenge Palin during a public Q&A session in California.
"I'm not a real babysitter," Jonah Hill warns one bratty child in the trailer for David Gordon Green's next R-rated comedy, The Sitter. "I'm more of a sit at home on the couch, do what I say or I'll kill you babysitter." Only Hill never gets to bark orders from a reclined position because his crush object (played by the wonderful Ari Graynor) lures him into taking the kids on a "motherf*cking minivan" field trip. And if you know anything about good-bad babysitting adventures, you know that Hill's compliance will lead to a standoff with insane drug dealers. As they all do. Click through to see the legitimately funny, profane red band trailer.
Miles Fisher, one of the stars of the blatant Oscar bait Final Destination 5, has created a music video parodying his new movie and, (because he apparently rules), Saved by the Bell. In this homage to Bayside High, watch as Miles's friends -- all played by his Final Destination 5 co-stars -- die off like plague victims and reference all the Jessie Spano caffeine pill drama you can muster. And oh, there's David Koechner as Mr. Belding.
Jason Bateman may be critically beloved at this point in his career -- The Change-Up notwithstanding -- but that doesn't mean he was always universally acclaimed. One only has to look back to his first big-screen credit to see how things used to be: Teen Wolf Too, a reviled and unnecessary '80s sequel that is only remembered because it was Bateman's first movie. On last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Bateman got to revisit Teen Wolf Too with eyes toward making things right. "And then the teeth. And then this!" Click ahead for the video.
After Marvel's widespread Captain America campaign this summer, you've grown accustomed to seeing Chris Evans as a musclebound, shield-toting superhero. But what happens when the actor is given a Bud Light, a flannel shirt and an impromptu lesson on women by the adorable Anna Faris? Watch this new clip from What's Your Number? to find out.
What do you do when your two middle-aged alcoholic neighbors -- one, a raging homophobe and the other, a flamboyant gay man -- scream insults at each other all day long? If you're Eddie Lee Sausage and Mitchell D, and encountering this problem in San Francisco in the late '80s, you start recording. Then, thirty years later, you splice the audio together with interviews to make a Tribeca Film documentary called Shut Up Little Man! Take a look at the trailer ahead.
If Lauren Ambrose -- the Six Feet Under star who was officially anointed Broadway's new Funny Girl -- didn't seem as obvious a choice for the role of Fanny Brice as Lea Michele, now you can stop second-guessing: Footage of Ambrose on Star Search has surfaced, and Ed McMahon directly endorsed her stardom. Get ready for the growliest rendition of "Dancing in the Street" you've ever heard. Sweet music!
Let's get this out of the way up front: the latest trailer for Moneyball looks like the previous trailer for the film. It makes what many believed to be an unadaptable book into something dramatic, funny and altogether thrilling. At least in trailer form. (It helps that Brad Pitt is putting on the "full Redford" in the campaign; dude looks like Roy Hobbs's son.) That said, there is a quibble -- at least from a baseball standpoint.
If you haven't yet decided whether to accompany your girlfriend to One Day -- the decades-spanning romance adaptation from An Education director Lone Scherfig -- then maybe the following clip will help inform your choice. In it, a mousy Anne Hathaway lays on some thick, British-accented sarcasm when re-meeting a drunken Jim Sturgess.
Oh, how quickly a night at the Moscow nightclub can devolve into a life or death alien situation. One minute, you're posing for pictures with your friends as house music grinds behind you and the next, you're on your back shooting flames into the air and yelling Rambo-style at invisible invaders who have come to Earth to steal your electricity and destroy your golden retrievers. (Or something.) It's a tough battle, but you, as an American twentysomething tourist, are somehow most equipped to fight it. At least that is the story of Emile Hirsch's character in Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour. Let's view the trailer for this 3-D sci-fi flick ahead.
When the teaser trailer for Killer Elite arrived in June, it presented a wealth of ridiculous awesomeness (Jason Statham jumping out a window while attached to an interrogation chair) and even more ridiculous facial hair (Clive Owen's villainous moustache; Robert De Niro's Saddam Hussein beard). Both traits are still present in the new full-length trailer, as well as a host of clichéd one-liners that would even make Arnold Schwarzenegger groan with delight. Ahead, Movieline's complete inventory of the madness.
Of course Justin Timberlake is the star of In Time, the futuristic sci-fi romp where the only currency on Earth is time: He investigated this phenomenon on his 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds, making keen observations about the sexiness of backs, the fun of summer lovin', and the cybernetic world of skinny ties. Whee! Welcome back to the future, JT. Amanda Seyfried's Bridget Fonda haircut waves at you from 1994.
I hate meaningless memes that are supposed to be funny, aren't funny, and survive in pop culture for too long a time thanks to unfunny people. I'm talking about the #whitepeopleproblems, the #epicfails, and the lives of most hashtags. Just stupid. But even those don't burn me quite like planking, the fad where you lay across some sort of funny divide (a pair of park benches, between two roofs, whatever), and photograph yourself. Oh, it is dumb! Big and dumb. And now folks like Kyle Gallner are taking a stand at Funny or Die with a new -- if not funny, then just necessary -- protest video.
Judging from Twitter buzz, The Change-Up is either a really funny (and really dirty) R-rated comedy with marketing that does it a great disservice, or the terrible body swap disaster that the marketing points toward. Perhaps that's why this new promotion for the Universal laugher gets right to the core of things: Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds are funny and handsome, and you probably really like them. Translation: let them sell the movie! And sell they do: "It's no dumber than a movie about a bunch of talking apes."
