Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

So, just to let everyone know. My birthday is August 11, and I would want nothing more than this toy. Pixar is going to be my demise. I turn into a babbling 5-year old any time they come out with a new film. Anyways, watch the video and start balancing your checkbook. I guarantee you will want this.

Have you ever left a movie feeling confused, awestruck and possibly a little bit violated? If so, then you are already on your way to knowing what it is like to experience director Josh Seftel’s oddly toned, overly quirky yet somewhat charming film War Inc.

You have to be young to love movies. You can have hundreds of candles on your birthday cake, you can have a 401K, you can be John McCain’s golfing buddy, but you still need a young mindset to fall in love when the lights dim and the screen tells you to turn off your cell phone.

I’m still waiting for someone to make Ghetto Movie, which will star Jack Black as a young Hispanic man, just trying to make a life in the hoods of Orlando, Florida.

The film is billed as a call to action, and thanks to us hooking up with Warner Home Video, this is a call that you have a chance to receive absolutely free.

Movie auteur Robert Rodriguez certainly is a busy boy of late. Robert Rodriguez and fiancée Rose McGowan are at it again. No… I meant movies, not sex. Well, actually maybe a bit of both…

So sadly, it looks like Eddie Murphy hasn’t used up all of his credibility in Hollywood. Murphy will be pushing 50 when, according to Variety, he will attempt to reprise his role as Axel Foley from the popular Beverly Hills Cop films. I can just imagine Murphy standing in front of a mirror proclaiming, “If Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford can do it…So can I!”.

I like a good horror movie, so I am a bit conflicted when it comes to the movie The Strangers.

I feel a bit odd heaping praise on the film – even more odd than attending the 400+ person screening with our illustrious Executive Editor Neil Miller and being two of only about a dozen guys in the house. But there’s a lot of good things in this movie.

And if that sounds disgusting, well, it just might be.

In the interest of keeping us sane while being deluged with romantic comedies and period pieces, here’s a list guys can use next time they’re at the video store with their significant other. When in doubt, check out one of these chick flicks that are safe for guys to like too.

Who will don the suit? Who will have the power to leap from building to building using sticky web gunk shot from his wrists? Is there anyone out there that looks good in Spandex?

That Guillermo Del Toro guy sure does know how to make a solid flick, and with Hellboy being is passion project, there is no doubt that this movie is going to rock your jockstrap in a badass way.

Gather together for girls’ night out and see Sex and the City. Grab your cosmopolitan, and get ready for some laughter with your favorite girlfriends from Manhattan.

I have a very special little treat for all of our readers who are big Disney fans. For the first time in history, one of Disney’s most beloved characters will find her voice. Tinker Bell, long known as Peter Pan’s helpful, yet silent partner, will be seen for the first time in her own film, [...]

Watching the “heroes” of The Strangers stick around to get butchered just gets silly. So why not get silly with the movie by knocking a few back.

From the Raw Feed series of DTV movies comes Otis, a teenager-in-peril Grindhouse experience for the whole family. Alright, maybe not the whole family, but it looks like a bit of fun.

The uber-geek site, Den of Geek!, has provided the world with a stellar interview with ‘Watchmen’ co-creator Dave Gibbons covering his iconic work, the film adaptation and what he’s churning out these days.

This new trailer for the upcoming comedy Get Smart may ultimately serve as nothing more than a reminder that the film is coming up soon, but that really doesn’t stop it from making me laugh.

A wise dude once said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” But in Hollywood, the saying goes “If at first you don’t succeed, produce.”

I am content in my decision to not stay up all night and wait for the trailer, as I would have probably been rather disappointed.

Kevin and Neil show some love for Sex and the City. Neil bemoans the fact that he didn’t win any sex toys in the screening giveaway, and Kevin asks some burning questions about breasts.

Our guest columnist and collector extraordinaire Jason Dorough gives us the lowdown on Yexel, a world-renowned collector of all things geek. Warning: Viewing Yexel’s collection may cause you to shit your pants.

It’s time to take a break from talking about superheroes, action, and other “guy” stuff. This week, it’s about Prada, fashion, relationships and other “girl” interests.

Normally we are all over the release of new movie trailers, especially from our favorite directors. Unfortunately, in this case we need to get some sleep…

Apple has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming Coen Brothers film Burn After Reading, and surprisingly it is of the red band variety.

With the exception of The Wackness, I have allowed quite a few of my Sundance ‘08 favorites to dangle in oblivion, without much recognition beyond the positive reviews that I wrote in January. The Great Buck Howard will not be one of them.

Luke Shapiro, the lead character, must have me in his 5 or something, because we are definitely homeboys. In fact, he sent me over this wicked dope video just this morning.

At this point it is safe to say that there is nothing that could possibly get us more excited for the July 18th release of The Dark Knight. Then again, we can’t blame WB for trying…

The casting race is on for The Hobbit and it appears James McAvoy has the inside track to play Bilbo Baggins. Baggins is the wandering Hobbit who found the Ring.
