Broken Lizard Has Begun Talking About ‘Super Troopers 2′Like an Arrested Development movie or Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, a sequel to the hit Broken Lizard comedy Super Troopers has always been right on the edge, while still giving fans that pipedream vibe. But now they are talking, and talking seriously. By Neil Miller on January 5, 2009 |

Monsters vs. Aliens Goes 3D During the SuperbowlIn addition to a 3D episode of Chuck the week following the Superbowl, NBC will also play home to a very special 3D commercial for the Dreamworks Animation release Monsters vs. Aliens.

For Your Consideration: The Spirit. The Daily Diversion.As many of you may know, we are not big fans of beating dead horses around here. Then again, this little ad that TotalFilm worked up for The Spirit is less of a beat and more of a poke — a poke at one of the most awful films of 2008. By Neil Miller on January 5, 2009 |

Sequel Counting: Is #4 The Lucky Number?I remember a time when sex used to be what sold in Hollywood, it’s not really that way anymore. It’s all about sequels nowadays. Anything the corporate machine can do to propagate a franchise and poke fun at aging actors in roles that may or may not compromise the position they’re in when jumping off buildings, driving backwards through tunnels, or remembering to take their Metamucil.

11 New Coraline Featurettes Are Fun, StrangeThe man with the creative juices that spilt all over The Nightmare Before Christmas is back to direct an original work of Neil Gaiman’s — a real geekgasm if ever there was one. And while you sit and ponder whether or not you thought Tim Burton directed Nightmare, as that is what you’ve always thought, please enjoy these brilliant behind the scenes featurettes.
