Now why is it important to mention it was a 35mm screening? Well, as Cannes director Thierry Frémaux mentions at the beginning of the press conference, Pulp Fiction was the only…

A new trailer for Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah has arrived and it comes equipped with the disclaimer we all heard about and Aronofsky, reportedly, wasn’t happy about not being consulted regarding its inclusion. In other recent news, The New Yorker has published a lengthy piece on the film in which Aronofsky doesn’t hold back when discussing the process of making the film, “The process sucked,” he…

Over the weekend I caught a trailer for InAPPropriate Comedy on television. I’d heard of it when I read Cracked’s least four anticipated movies of 2013, but I didn’t actually read what it was about. In fact, I saw the poster featuring Rob Scneider, Michelle Rodriguez, Adrien Brody and Lindsay Lohan and thought it looked fake. After all, a title like that couldn’t be…
