Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

First of all I need to preface this post by saying that I don’t believe the Oscars matter in the least. Sure, they’re fun to vote on, discuss, and are (apparently) a great excuse to party on a boat, but, ultimately, whoever takes home the gold at the end of the night only matters to those who actually attended the ceremony.

Sarah is having trouble sleeping after killing the man at the warehouse. She checks into a sleep clinic to help her cope, but soon she fears that she is the center of an experiment by Skynet to map her brain.

With Boomer in the brig of Galactica, President Roslin has been asked to extradite her to the rebel Cylon Basestar to be tried for treason. Tyrol fears that she will be executed and arranges her escape, only to learn she has a secret plan.

The long gestating plans to remake “Damn Yankees” have finally come to fruition with the news that Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal will play the leads.

Intrepid FSR reader Jeff P. sent over a few cool new featurettes for Watchmen this afternoon. And since I’m feeling generous, I thought I might throw them up on the site for all to see.

t’s likely that like a few of us, you are also an aspiring screenwriter. And to honor that scribely spirit in all of us, the folks at Turner Classic Movies (TCM) have sent us over a big stack of ‘31 Days of Oscar’ notebooks to give away.

Antonio Banderas has signed on to star alongside a stellar ensemble for Woody Allen’s next film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Allen’s next film has not yet been given a title, but a start date for shooting and a distinguished cast have already been lined up.

Continuing on with our advanced coverage of this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, I would like to take a moment to spread some blood on your Friday afternoon.

Before a masked miner attacked you in three dimensions, he existed in merely two, though he had his own theme song, which is arguably just as awesome.

This may or may not be new to all of you, but as of this morning when reader Christopher M. sent it over it was new to me — so it wins the Officially Cool stamp of approval.

The folks from the Derrick Comedy group just sent over word about a series of screenings that they will be holding for their film Mystery Team next week in New York City. And as you know, this is one of the most talked about films from this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

If you’ve been a long-time reader of FSR, then you already know that we have an unhealthy love for straight-to-DVD action and horror movies. And today we’re proud to add another name to the list of our favorite stars of DVD: Stana Katic (and her gigantic knife).

I know that some of you hate it when we wax political about anything — as evidence of the W. coverage debacle of late-2008 — but I also know that there are a lot of Coen Brothers fans around here, including yours truly.

Well, it’s all about the Jonas Brothers this weekend, both at 3-D movie houses and here at the Reject Report. I mean, really, that’s the only excitement in store at the box office — unless you count Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which is the other new release this weekend.

An adult photo that Liz took of herself comes back to haunt her when she accidentally leaves the cell phone with which she used to take it in a cab.

This highfalutin, silly immigration drama from writer-director Wayne Kramer wastes a lot of terrific actors.

Kevin Carr looks at the movies the studios didn’t allow him to see early this week: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

Kevin and Neil suffer through another week of no screenings for the press, even though Neil secretly wants to see the Jonas Brothers concert in the theaters. The Fat Guys give their response to the Oscars and declare that they aren’t going to talk too much about Watchmen… yet.

Remember the iconic, legendary comic that never, ever got un-funny in the slightest measure? Bill Condon has attached Pluto Nash to play him.

Our good friends over at ShockTillYouDrop picked up the following concept art from from Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman that were posted over at the ZBrushCentral Forums, and it is something that we can officially mark as ‘awesome’.

A lot of 2’s are coming down the pipe in the horror world. Remakes? Sequels? Little column A, little column B? Either way, some first look pics of both films are now on the interwebs.

Say what you want about Christian Bale, and we often have great things to say, the man has got us talking about Terminator: Salvation. Now he’s the one talking about the film, and we have pics to prove it.

Locke’s (Terry O’Quinn) fateful mission off the island as Jeremy Bentham is revealed.

Somehow this day would not be complete without a little puking scene. Why? Because that is how we roll here at FSR… always classy. Also classy is this new redband clip from the upcoming Paramount Pictures release I Love You Man, starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.

Guillermo del Toro presents a story of two scientists who have used genetic splicing to create what looks like The Chupacabra. Science!

There is a movie entitled Boob. The trailer is inside (courtesy of Twitch), but beware, it’s almost guaranteed to curdle your blood and make you cry for your mommy.

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… Sweden!

Christian finds his replacement for the practice who turns out to have one very strange special interest. Liz fights to live out her dream wedding, despite Mama Cruz’s constant digs at her life and past choices. Meanwhile, Allegra Calderello, aka “Pussy Lips”, returns to McNamara/Troy seeking a physical remodel at the request of her dying husband.

As you know, we love some trailer mashup in the morning. And this one is a solid one, combining the spring’s anticipated film Watchmen with the imagery of Matt Groening’s Futurama.

Continuing to play catch up, the Coroner rocks out to the psychotic, strange, and rockingly satisfying genetic opera that is Repo!
