Maybe <i>Creed </i>Can Help Everyone Forget About <i>Rocky Balboa</i>
Rocky Balboa, the sixth of the Rocky movies, may have been financially successful and critically acceptable, but man, it felt really dated with a 60-year-old Sylvester Stallone shuffling around with Antonio Tarver. Creed is clearly intent on extending the franchise with a new, young boxing protagoni...
A Zac Efron Movie About DJs: Why?
Alternate headlines for this post include: Don’t Make Movies About DJs, Just Don’t; See Dozens Of White Boys Jump Into A Pool; and What Steve Aoki Hath Wrought. Inspired by Diplo’s Instagram account and written by a fifth-year named Tad with a closet full of neon tanks, here is a trailer for a movie...
They Have Teasers For Teasers For Goddamn Trailers Now
Here is a teaser for the upcoming Ant-Man teaser, which I don't want to watch on principle, because FOR FUCK'S SAKE. How desperate for a goddamn Ant-Man movie do you have to be to get a boner over an ad for an ad for an ad?...
The Dumb Redskins Made A Dumb Trailer For The Upcoming Season
If the fact that this video is rated "BG" (burgundy and gold) for "Team, Effort, Tradition" doesn't make you gag and immediately turn your computer off, then get ready to enjoy some some terrible marketing content courtesy of the Washington Redskins....
Here's A Sneak Peek At A New Documentary On Knuckleball Pitchers
R.A. Dickey is one of the best stories in baseball this year, partly due to his singular, newfound success and the fact that he's doing it in a way different from every single other big league pitcher. As fate would have it, documentarians Anne Sundberg and Ricki Stern shadowed Dickey and Tim Wake...
Latest Baseball Movie Is Really Just Another Baseball Movie
Not to be all get-off-my-lawn about it, but sports movies are just not as good as they used to be, right? They kind of suck these days? Moneyball was just OK. The Blind Side had more hokum than heart. The Fighter won Oscars and did decent box office, but it never became a phenomenon. The latest form...
Superman, Drunk Girls, And <em>Life of Pi</em>: Let's Look At Some Movie Trailers!
In this installment of Trailer Hitch, our semi-regular rundown of the biggest recent movie trailers, I've got a superhero flick, a broad comedy, a couple Oscar contenders, and a dance movie. Who says Hollywood only caters to one type of audience? Also, I would love to meet the person who is really e...
Tom Cruise Vs. Werner Herzog And Adventures In Perilous White People Tourism: It's Time For Trailer Hitch
The summer movie world is in a bit of a lull right now: Spider-Man showed up in time for July 4, Savages sneaked in just under the "Blake Lively Being Double Teamed-Themed Festivus Day" holiday wire and now everyone's slowing their roll for a couple of weeks until The Dark Knight Rises opens. Which ...
The BBC Olympic Promo Trailer Is Pretty Awesome, Inevitably Controversial
We're sure NBC has something grandiose up its sleeve as it prepares to air the London Olympics starting in a few weeks, but tonight official UK broadcaster BBC premiered its CGI-animated Olympic promo and, we have to say, it's impressive....
I'm Worried About Quentin Tarantino's <em>Django Unchained</em>
It'd be difficult to find a bigger Quentin Tarantino fanboy than I am. It's a little embarrassing, actually; I was one of those nerds posting on alt.fans.tarantino dorkboards the year Justin Bieber was born. (The fact that Google archives Usenet forums from 20 years ago is just cruel.) I think Jacki...
Bill Murray As FDR! <em>Anchorman 2</em>! Opulent Melancholy! Your Authoritative Rundown Of All The New Movie Trailers
In the days before a major holiday, movie news dries up completely. (Unless it's something that's actually genuinely important, like that fact we're gonna have to wait until next year for The Rock and Bruce Willis to be in a movie together.) But before Memorial Day, studios start unveiling a ton of ...
Driving Your Way To The Bigs. Literally.
This is Tom Shearn. You've surely never heard of him, because, jeez, why would you have? He's 30 years old and just made his major league debut yesterday for the oddly surging Cincinnati Reds. (They're only 6 1/2 out of first in the NL Central, by the way.) And he's got quite the tale to tell....
