SpongeBob Spoofs 50 Shades Of Grey

The new SpongeBob SquarePants movie scored a big, $15-million opening Friday, and is projected to pull in $55-million over the weekend. We’re not saying the film’s success had entirely to do with this spoof on 50 Shades of Grey, but it certainly couldn’t have hurt, right?

Is There Really Any Such Thing As A Do-Over On 12 Monkeys, After All?

Syfy’s TV version of 12 Monkeys continues to play around with the question of whether Cole’s time-travel is changing the past, or whether it “already happened.” That ambiguity leads to some pretty interesting story possibilities, as last night’s episode “Atari” demonstrates. Spoilers ahead… The heart of “Atari” has to do with Cole thinking he’s able…

Jupiter Ascending‘s Spaceship Designs Are Even Cooler Than You Knew

Jupiter Ascending has some of the most stunning visuals we’ve ever seen in a space opera. The movie’s spaceships are just stunning, and unlike anything else in movies or elsewhere. We talked to lead designer George Hull, and he told us how Brutalist architecture and Siamese fighting fish influenced these ships. We’ve featured Hull’s artwork…

Original Birdman Ending Could Have Starred Johnny Depp

We really enjoyed Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, and the ending certainly left us with a lot of questions. However, the original ending would have been a bit more finite and even furthered one of the themes of Hollywood’s obsession with ego and fame. Oh, and it would have featured Johnny Depp. Over on the Q&A…

The Third G.I.Joe Movie May Team-Up With M.A.S.K.

Please take a Channing Tatum-sized grain of salt with this news, but a new rumor says the third G.I.Joe movie will bring in the evil twins Xamot and Tomax as the film’s antagonists, but that the Joe team will bring Matt Trakker and the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand to fight Cobra in this installment. First,…

Jupiter Ascending Is A Very Decadent Movie About Why Decadence Is Bad

Jupiter Ascending isn’t just a mediocre film. It’s also self-indulgent, and in love with its own excesses. It’s like the sick love-child of Zardoz and Fifth Element. But what’s really odd about Jupiter is that it wants to criticize opulence and selfishness, and yet it’s a movie that thinks “more” is always “better.” Spoilers ahead……

Mel Brooks Co-Wrote A Musical Based On The Archy And Mehitabel Books

Did you know that Mel Brooks co-wrote an Archy and Mehitabel musical? I didn’t, until after I wrote about the Don Marquis books about the cockroach and catthe other day. Eartha Kitt — Eartha Kitt! — starred in the original stage version. And later, they did an animated movie version. 1957’s Shinbone Alley featured a…

The Most Hilariously Damning Review Of The Original Star Wars

When Star Wars came out in 1977, nobody knew it would become the classic that we all recognize today. Some people were skeptical, for sure. But few reviewers were as hilariously savage as John Simon, with New York Magazine, who called it “a set of giant baubles manipulated by an infant mind.” Top image: New…

Here it is, the first-ever trailer for the rebooted horror classic Poltergeist. And, um, it looks pretty good. There’s a lot of original movie recreation and new spin, but this trailer (for the most part) is scary and has charm. That being said, this trailer is cut together fast and relies heavily on jump scares.…

Created by Seth Worley and Aharon Rabinowitz, this very clever little short left us scratching our heads. So we’re not supposed…
