Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

Finally it is getting a name. Yes, a proper name.

Is George Clooney going to be a Real Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity?

The other night I caught another trailer for Charlie Wilson’s War in front of American Gangster, and I have to say that it looks pretty good.

Everyone has fear. It’s ingrained in our psyche. Anyone who denies it is lying, dead or both.

We just posted the trailer for Wanted a few hours ago and now we have 18 more looks that are just as sexy.

Greg Berlanti has signed on to direct the upcoming Green Lantern movie. He’s going to be taking on scripting duties as well, along with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.

Nothing says cool like the moment when all of your childhood fantasies come true and you make a bid on eBay for a real life Peterbilt untransformed Optimus Prime replica.

The extremely creative and intricate viral marketing campaign for Warner Brothers’ The Dark Knight took another big step forward over the past week or so.

Wesley (James McAvoy) is recruiting be the aptly named Fox (Jolie) to come and join a fraternity of assassins. Que the initiative spankings…

Private Property (Nue Propri©t©, au francais) is conspicuously contemporary-French; anyone who’s seen some recent French character pieces like The Bridesmaid or The Piano Teacher should find its aesthetic style familiar, from the digital texture and the long takes to the uncomfortable suggestions of incestuous sexuality.

In possibly the best movie related news I’ve read in several weeks, FirstShowing.net is reporting that Daniel Craig is signed on to portray Bond, James Bond, in movies 22, 23, 24, and 25.

With every yin, there is a yang. There are some movies that are so far apart from the Halloween experience, they shouldn’t even be on video rental shelves when people are combing their local Blockbuster for copies of the original “Frankenstein,” “Fright Night” and “Evil Dead II.”

It’s been so long that I’ve read anything about Paris Hilton’s acting career that I was surprised to learn that she was actually out of jail and headed to the big screen.

MTV caught up with Director Guillermo Del Toro on the set of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army this week and somehow ended up talking about whether or not Del Toro would be down for a run at one of the remaining Harry Potter flicks.

In Rocket Science, writer/director Jeffrey Blitz clearly shows his inspirations for making this coming-of-age tale. There are two obvious ones that need mentioning.

Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin has signed on to helm the solo project for The Flash. Will there be gratuitous sex involved?

Well, it’s about time that we had a big weekend at the box office. Saw IV cleaned up this weekend with a big take of $32 million.

Death Proof opens on a pair of shapely feet, with polished toes, natch, resting on a sunlit dashboard. Tarantino needn’t even bother putting his name in the credits anymore.

Was Mark Millar knocked out by technicality? In a whirlwind of news that traveled faster than a speeding bullet, the Superman writers were out, Millar was in, and Millar went right back out.

One can only wonder in awe how a film that gives away the entire plot in the title can be as special as The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is.

Some may remember that Tamara Jenkins first got acclaim with her last film The Slums of Beverly Hills in 1998. The Savages could not be a more different movie-but they are both fantastic.

You Can’t Spell “Can’t Anyone Stop This?” Without “CSI:NY”

After the great commercial success of The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons announced to hit theaters in December of 2008. According to /Film, production is set to start in February of 2008.

Either his gut was too big or he was too big of an ass, but Ryan Gosling has been dropped from Peter Jackson’s forthcoming adaptation of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones.

Dan in Real Life is simply a film that doesn’t live up to what its title and slogan promises. As far as the movie feeling like real life goes, this is far from it, despite a few honest and sincere moments. The slogan for the film is “plan to be surprised,” but I found most of it to be formulaic and predictable.

Ever since the first Saw cut into the American mainstream in 2004, it has been often imitated but rarely matched. The fourth installment of the series hits the theaters in time for Halloween, making a visit to the theater for more of Jigsaw’s antics a seasonal tradition for me.

Yes, it’s another week of torture porn in the movie theaters. We’ll see if the Saw franchise can do better than the Hostel or Hills Have Eyes franchises did earlier in the year. But just because some people like to watch torture and murder doesn’t mean everyone’s cool with it.

This weekend British hottie Emily Blunt will share a few moments of screen time with the classic beauty of French starlet Juliette Binoche. And while it is Binoche who gets the most lines in Dan in Real Life as she plays the love interest to both Steve Carell and Dane Cook, it is Blunt who steals a bit of the show.

Actor Steve Carell and comedian Dane Cook have one distinct thing in common — in the year 2007, they have each made for which they were completely wrong. Thankfully they’ve both found a movie that was absolutely perfect for them — and it just happens to be the same film.

Welcome to what is shaping up to be a fairly grizzly weekend at THE REJECT REPORT. This week we have two new movies going wide across America — the return of SAW IV, and the return of Steve Carell in Dan in Real Life. And Owen Wilson comes back from the almost-dead.
