We felt the earth move during the Hell Ride press junket in Los Angeles, but weren’t quite sure if that was the earthquake, or the arrival of Vinnie Jones. Seriously, this guy is so kickass that even Chuck Norris doesn’t hold a candle to him.

Film School Rejects went to Lucasfilm and LucasArts recently, and you can bet we brought our camera. Check out the good in our massive gallery.

Space Chimps has the unfortunate space of being sandwiched into a weekend that has both Mamma Mia, and a little known indie film called The Dark Knight opening. But that didn’t stop Andy Samberg, voice of main chimp Ham, from cracking wise throughout the press junket.

Kabluey is the best film that you’ve never heard of, and it’s finally coming to theaters that are hopefully near you. If you’re geographically challenged in regards to the release schedule, then never fear, it’ll be on DVD in September. Definitely a must-see.

We spent some with Guru Pitka, aka Mike Myers, as well as Justin Timberlake and Verne Troyer at the press junket for The Love Guru. Find out what we learned inside, and don’t write off this film!

As part of our Spy Week, check out the Film School Rejects sit-down interview with Get Smart director Peter Segal, who talked to us about spies, Steve Carell, and Shazam!

We spent a day with all the cast members of Get Smart, and it quickly turned into a Steve Carell lovefest. Deservedly so, we say! Find out more about what’ll be coming up in this bumbling spy movie based on the bumbling spy television series as our Spy Week continues.

Weeds is finally coming back to the airwaves, and it’ll be followed by a sexy new show about the life of a call girl. Our prayers have finally been answered,

Everyone is going nuts for Indiana Jones and it is well on its way to earning huge bucks at the box office this weekend… except me. I wasn’t sold on this trip down memory lane, and here’s my evidence that this just wasn’t an Indiana Jones movie.

Back in the later 1950s, a prominent doctor named Dorian Paskowitz dropped out of the traditional life and took his wife on the road, living out of a trailer. Before long, they had nine kids (eight boys and one girl), and they lived a life of surfing out of that trailer, before things began to unravel.

Indiana Jones isn’t just back in the theaters, but he’s returned to the DVD shelves as well. Is Paramount’s new Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection worth picking up, or is it a shameless double dip? Find out inside.

Ewan McGregor is joining Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code prequel/sequel Angels and Demons. With a much better storyline, this Hanks/McGregor combo could prove to be better than the first flick.

James Bond’s Quantum of Solace has been plagued by a series of three driving accidents in the past week. Is there a curse on this movie? The press seems to think so.

Guillermo del Toro sets his sights on a possible sequel to Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, but will draw the line at any further sequels. Looks like Hellboy will turn into yet another movie trilogy.

Recently I was at the movies in a packed house when they showed a trailer for the upcoming The Incredible Hulk. The resulting response from the audience was a collective “Huh?”

Roger Ebert has had a rough time with health issues lately, and while he might be laid up with a broken hip, it hasn’t stopped him from entering the wild and wacky world of blogging.

The monster issue that is the Entertainment Weekly 2008 Summer Movie Preview is on newsstands and in mailboxes everywhere. Find out why we just can’t quit this damn thing.

Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood join the cast of Woody Allen’s latest film, and the universe stops to ponder just exactly where things started to go wrong. Signs point to the Duckbilled Platypus.

Netflix is going to start charging you more if you rent Blu-ray discs. Is that fair? HELL NO sayeth the Film School Rejects. You can raise my Blu-ray prices over my cold, dead HD-DVD player.

Indiana Jones has his own “Snickers Adventure Bar” and “Mint Crunch” M&Ms specially designed for the whip-slinging, hat-wearing adventurer. What, no “Snake Surprise” or “Monkey Brains” a la Temple of Doom?!

Frank Miller wants to follow up The Spirit by directing his 1990 comic book project Hard Boiled, which features some of the most beautiful scenes of destruction you’ve ever seen. With fanboys still waiting for a finished version of The Spirit, any ideas how this will turn out?

Zack Snyder wants the fans to help shoot part of Watchmen, so if you’ve got a computer (which I hope you do if you’re reading this) and one or two creative brain cells then you need to jump in. You can win cash, high-def cameras, and a chance for your footage to appear in the flick.

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is entering it’s second week of production, and you can read all about it on their insidery blog that sounds a little bit too much like Ain’t It Cool News. Find out all about the production, see an exclusive photo, and oh lord I can’t keep typing this.

It’s one month until Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters, and we’re already under an invasion of billboards… including this batch of six IN A ROW on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles. What’s next?!

Crank 2 kickstarts the adrenaline with new cast members, and they start shooting in one week. If you haven’t seen the original, you’ve got some time. However, once you’ve seen it, it might shave a tick or two off of your heart’s life-expectancy. Then comes this sequel…

Timothy J. Sexton, who adapted Children of Men for the screen, is hard at work on the time-traveling thriller Time Crimes from this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Oh, and Logan’s Run. Wake up and smell the scifi.

James Bond author Ian Fleming didn’t only write books, he also had his own plans on how do deal with the Nazis. Sadly, none of his plans got put into effect, but a new museum exhibit will tell you how it would have gone down.

My Blueberry Nights is the first American film from director Wong Kar-Wai, which actually feels like three short films cobbled together. Great cast and some decent acting, but they feel like student films. Ouch.

Artist Kolby Jukes captures the spirit of Heath Ledger in this ten-inch statue that’ll look right at home on your desk or bookshelf. Assuming you still have room after the last Bat-blitz of merchandising.

Transformers 2 is shooting in Sedona, Arizona… otherwise known as the land of crystal healing, UFOs, and it’s a New Age mecca. Oh, and they have some pretty awesome scenery, to boot.
