Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

Australia goes down under, Bolt races past Twilight and Four Christmases rises to the top on Thanksgiving weekend.

Androgynous teen sensation Kristen Stewart was on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show recently chatting up her new movie, Twilight. She spoke about her introduction to acting, fan obsession, and more. Seacrest also asked her for any information on Twilight’s inevitable sequel, New Moon.

One can learn a lot from a country’s old ass movies, especially if they’re as fresh and universally relevant as Mikio Naruse’s When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, one of his long overlooked works of cinematic excellence.

FSR reader Christopher M. has sent us a few photos from the set of Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It, starring Ellen Page. Check out the groovy roller derby uniforms on Zoe Bell and Kristen Wiig.

You didn’t think that Robert Pattinson was going to live off of his Justin Timberlake-level fame from Twilight for the rest of his career, did you?

Completely aware of how lazy I am for missing two weeks of Chuck recaps, I return with a big, geekirific update on all things Chuck — including the show’s ever growing bank full of geek cred.

Empire Magazine’s upcoming issue has an in-depth look at the upcoming Wolverine movie, including a first look at Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. And guess what, we’ve got the image to show you in advance.

As a Tennessean, I am proud that my state produced the most insane President ever elected to office. That President was Andrew Jackson. And I would like to state my case as to why he needs his own movie.

Remember Steve Guttenberg? The comic wit? The smirk? The abnormally well-defined pectoral muscles? No? Well he remembers you, and like that stalker ex-lover of yours he wants back in your life.

The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. And in honor of Black Friday, we’ve got your chance to win a copy on DVD!

Headed out there to do some shopping on Black Friday? If you are, remember that people are crazy — as this clip from Jingle All the Way shows us so brilliantly.

As a veteran of the retail sales industry I know just how ridiculous things can get on Black Friday. And in order to spread some of that insight around, I thought I would drop some retail knowledge on you.

But before I sent them off to their respective family engagements, I asked a select group of FSR staffers to give me one paragraph each on what they are thankful for in the year 2008.

Since we at Film School Rejects are most thankful for our readers (and the hookers that Warner Bros. sent over for our Dark Knight coverage), we thought that we’d give you a special Thanksgiving treat.

We all know that the most heartfelt holiday of the year will inevitably end with most of you splayed out in a pool of blood and gravy, nursing severe wounds and a hangover that weighs more than the turkey did before it was burnt. But rest assured tonight, because it could be worse.

Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week to look for films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… France!

We don’t know what’s going to be playing at Sundance. No one does. No one except the half-dozen dolphin-werewolf hybrid creatures that choose the line up every year and keep it secret until some time next week. Luckily, several of the were-dolphins are susceptible to bribery, and we’ve got buzz on our side.

FSR reader Christopher M. has hit us with a double-shot of first looks this afternoon, the second of which being a gallery of set photos from the upcoming comedy Youth in Revolt, starring Michael Cera.

Need I put any more effort in that title in order to get you to click through? I think not.

Lionsgate has provided for us a small gallery of images from Punisher: War Zone. Witness the gruesome nature of Jigsaw, Frank Castle’s killer instinct, Julie Benz’s hotness, and Newman!

“I’m going to tear your goddamn head off.” That is how the several minute clip ended at Comic-Con. And with a trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine on the way, it is once again time to get excited.

Dexter starts to fear that Miguel may have strayed from the newly taught Code. This concern starts to put a strain on their friendship.

Michael Cera has a film that will be hitting Sundance soon, and it’s getting attention for how little attention it’s gotten so far.

Could Dr. Samuel Sterns be radiating into The Leader for the next Hulk movie?

He’s been called The Chosen One, King James and the best baller since Michael Jordan. Now LeBron James wants to have a Space Jam of his own on the big screen.

Tony Gilroy, the writer/director behind last year’s excellent Michael Clayton, has a new movie due next year… and it looks pretty damn solid.

If it’s not a vampire movie, why are there vampires in it? If it’s not a vampire movie, why is this known the world over as “the teen vampire movie”? I suppose we could also say that Iron Man isn’t a superhero movie and It’s a Wonderful Life isn’t a Christmas movie.

Everyone loves a good killing spree, do they not? Here at Film School Rejects we love a good killer more than most, and whether they are hacking with a blade or shooting ‘em up we are always ready to sit up and take notice. With that in mind, we’ve drawn up a list of ten of our favorite on-screen killers.

Well, you might say that Christmas comes early to the Reject Report, because this Thanksgiving we have three new movies rolling out.

Kevin Carr looks at Australia, Four Christmases, Transporter 3 and Milk, in theaters this week with the FSR Report Card.
