Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

In what seems like a pretty standard story, Natalie Portman has signed on to co-star with Danny McBride and James Franco in the David Gordon Green-directed Your Highness. Notice how awesome I’ve gotten at name-dropping. Notice!

It has become clear in the three times that I’ve watched this brand new clip from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that even though it is quite cool, it still wouldn’t have been worth watching the MTV Movie Awards to see it.

Little-known Indie darling Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be hitting art houses in select cities this summer, and filmmakers wanted to entice potential audiences with a little clip of an orphanage.

The first teaser trailer for New Moon is out and negates any need of really seeing the first twenty or so minutes of the film. So, that’s good.

Get dragged kicking and smiling by Andy Griffith’s Lonesome Rhodes in a political horror film that still has a lot to say about our culture.

MTV has debuted a brand new 45-second clip from Paramount’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra this week in anticipation of tonight’s MTV Movie Awards, where an extended clip will be shown alongside clips from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Twilight: New Moon and others.

Run to see ‘Pontypool,’ the other horror movie out this weekend. It’s as intelligent and exciting as the best the genre has to offer and it can be seen in theaters in select cities, and on IFC On Demand.

As expected and predicted by just about everyone, the rest of the field was looking Up — way Up — at yet another dominating Pixar performance at the box office.

The folks at MTV have released a brand new photo from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that finally gives us a clear look at the film’s main villain, The Fallen.

Even though our own Cole Abaius already posted his first interview from his Vegas trip (with Zach Galifianakis), we have not even begun to spread the love all over Todd Phillips’ latest comedy The Hangover.

Two Reject heavyweights go head to head on whether or not Pixar’s first is really worth all the hype it gets. Actually, they just argue like an old married couple about whether Toy Story is amazing or not and lob ad hominem attacks against that sweet, innocent, devilishly handsome Cole Abaius character.

The Visual FX Supervisor for Terminator Salvation gave us some of his time to discuss the concepts behind creating the world after the bombs fell.

The folks behind Funny People have made a very funny fake sitcom featuring Jason Schwartzman’s character from the movie. Get ready to bring back that nostalgia for late 80s, early 90s classroom television.

As a fan of the comics, it looks like Favreau is saying all the right things when it comes to elements of Iron Man 2. Should I continue getting my hopes up about War Machine and Tony Stark losing his mind? I think so.

Up director Pete Docter and his producer Jonas Rivera visit the University of Cincinnati to talk about the latest film from Disney/Pixar.

It’s hard to say when Chevy Chase was last funny on the silver screen. He’s had a few moments, mostly on the popular geek property Chuck, on the small tube, but he hasn’t really done much in the way of cinematic hilarity since well, the nineties.

Right on the heals of releasing their 10th (and according to my review, one of their best) film Up this weekend, the folks at Disney/Pixar have released the first teaser trailer for their next great adventure, Toy Story 3.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: Up and Drag Me to Hell.

The unprecedented has happened in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Not only has Neil seen as many movies this week as Kevin, but they also seem to agree on everything. Surely, this is a sign of the apocalypse. But have no fear. Kevin and Neil will be back with fighting words next week.

With the release of Drag Me To Hell this weekend, we decided to take a look at a few accursed characters seen in film to learn a lesson about pissing off gypsies.

There is something about the craft of great storytelling, the truly magical nature of a tale so perfectly executed that just grabs the heart strings of its audience and never lets go. It’s rare, but something we should be used to from Pixar.

The star of The Hangover sits down with FSR’s cameras to discuss the finer points of waking up with a tiger in your bathroom, the blunter points of growing up, and the pointier points of being cast as Green Lantern.

The obvious question this weekend is: will the box office go to hell, or will it go Up? Also — some more good Star Trek box office news.

The second trailer for Christian Alvart’s upcoming sci-fi thriller Pandorum has been released today via our friends at Screenrant, and boy does it look claustrophobic.

Finally a real look at what the world of Avatar will look like. And by “real,” we mean “conceptual.”

A favorite reader of ours, Joe P., sent us in these seven awesome new images from Pixar’s next adventure Up, and we’ve since come to find out that they originated from a little Pixar fansite called Buzz & Cie. No matter where they came from though, the point is that they are absolutely gorgeous photos. [...]

A new trailer for A Perfect Getaway has just premiered online, and while it’s too early to tell for sure, it looks like writer/director David Twohy may have a winner.

Some folks were outraged when news first hit that Nicolas Cage would be starring in a remake of Bad Lieutenant. Wait until they see this first trailer…

The Coroner saddles up and rides off into the hellish sunset as he battles The Burrowers on DVD.

This week’s Foreign Objects takes a look at one of the best revenge films ever made, one of the few films guaranteed to be on any list ranking revenge movies… heck, I can’t even imagine someone putting together a Best Revenge Film list without this one ranking fairly high. Yeah. That’d be crazy.
