Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

Let’s start with this fact; yes, I know that this is a movie website. But in the spirit of fanboys around the world, I feel that it is perfectly OK to talk about Heroes, as it is quite possibly one of the few TV shows out there that plays out more like a movie than a standard primetime drama. With that said, here is some pretty awesome news for both Heroes fans and movie fanboys alike.

Everyone at Comic-Con was able to get a quick look at Rob Zombie’s re-envisioning of the legendary Halloween story. If you weren’t at Comic-Con though, I’m sure you still may be interested in seeing some footage. It just so happens that a 30 second TV spot has hit the web. Take a look below.

Halloween is […]

I wonder if anyone wants to know more about this mysterious “Cloverfield” project that J.J. Abrams didn’t tell us anything about at Comic-Con (see the report here). We didn’t get a title, we didn’t get any more plot information but we did get a poster.
Then on the last day of the Con we got to […]

On Sunday during the “Masters of the Web” panel at Comic-Con, Brad Miska from Bloody-Disgusting scooped that there was a third installment to the very popular Underworld in the works. Robert from IESB.net then quickly added that the director of the flick would be FX master Patrick Tatopoulos.
As for the plot of the film, all […]

Finishing up the duo of previously released Bourne movies, here is the review of 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy. Watch this badboy thriller to bone up for another of this summer’s sequels (in fact, it’s at least the 4th film series to release it’s 3rd film in 2007) so you’re all set to get ultimatized […]

When you think of classic Comic-Con, you don’t necessarily think that the Walt Disney Company would be pushing anything more than Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck titles. Even in the past couple years, when Hollywood finally caught on to the fact that comic book fans can help propel major blockbusters to success, Disney has taken a back seat to the big budget adaptations of Marvel properties. Not this year. Not by a long shot.

When it comes to the upcoming Disney films, I’m excited. But as excited I am to see “Prince Caspian,” nothing can compare to the excitement I feel for Pixar’s upcoming film “WALL•E.” Audiences first got a look at this little robot film at the head of “Ratatouille” out this summer. The story revelations were slim, but we all understood the heart behind it.

What was I expecting when I went to see No Reservations? Not much. It isn’t that I expected it to be bad, it is just that I looked at it as a sort of fluffy space filler kind of a movie. It is true that it is a bit on the fluffier side, but it […]

It is possible that we haven’t given Superbad enough props yet. Sure we gave it the official stamp of approval with an “A” grade in our review, but that won’t do the trick. This movie is absolutely juvenile and piss-your-pants funny. To illustrate, here are some video clips.

A few weeks back we had a chance to participate in a very interesting project. Members of the online film community (everything from bloggers to Variety.com) got together to select the Top 100 Films of All-Time. Both myself and Kevin Carr were able to submit our nominations to this list, which serves as the communities response to the AFI’s Top 100 Films of All-Time.

Jon Favreau rocked the Con on Thursday afternoon when he surprised the crowd at the Paramount presentation with some awesome footage from Iron Man. It was a glorious surprise. Moments after the panel the buzz began to flow through the vast space of the San Diego Convention Center. Two days later the line was seemingly down the street to get into the Marvel Studios presentation, where the Iron Man footage was scheduled to be shown once again.

In Drillbit Taylor, Owen Wilson re-teams with Mr. Judd Apatow (I’m trying to be respectful, the man is a genius for Superbad) to play a guy who lies his way into a gig guarding high school freshman from a few bullies. It has been rough goings of late for Wilson, who hasn’t had a big […]

Somehow we knew this was coming. It wasn’t going to be long before the astounding footage of Iron Man would hit YouTube. The footage shows Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, the Mark I suit and then the non-CG enhanced scenes of the Mark III suit. Take a peek after the jump before the video gets pulled.

Everyone is smiling in Springfield today. We all knew The Simpsons Movie was going to be Number One and was going to be big at the theaters, yada yada yada. But to the tune of $71 million dollars?! There’s no need for Fox movie executives to move to Alaska in disgrace. All that needs to be said are two simple words: woo hoo!!!

This week we are coming to you from sunny San Diego, California, the home of Comic-Con 2007! We are rubbing elbows with celebrities and comic fans alike and getting sneak peaks at all of the hottest upcoming films. We take a look at what we have seen thus far at Comic-Con and what is yet to come. Also, Kevin reviews The Simpsons Movie and No Reservations.
