Could it be? Could Bryan Singer really be talking to Fox about the possibility of returning to the franchise he made popular? Get your hopes up, nerds.

Judging by their output for Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and The Proposal all in one summer, it seems like screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman don’t sleep. And they won’t get to anytime soon. We caught them not napping in order to ask them about writing for Michael Bay and their upcoming Cowboys and Aliens.

In which I proceed in dissing a movie that I actually liked in favor of this other movie that looks like it might capture the spirit of Star Wars geekdom in a better way…

Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves taking pictures of people in uncompromising positions and situations. These two joys come together in the form of blackmail payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVD’s. So join us each week as Rob takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs.

Kevin Carr reviews the movies the studios didn’t allow him to see early this week: Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail, Fired Up and Fanboys.

Well, you might say that we’re all “Fired Up” about this weekend’s movies at The Reject Report. Uh, no. Actually, this looks to be a down week, with only two major wide releases served up by the folks from MAXIM and, ahem, Tyler Perry.

Kevin waxes poetic about how awesome it is to watch cheerleader movies while both of them complain about how they never get to see Tyler Perry movies in advance. Also, Kevin promises drastic consequences if WALL-E doesn’t win Best Animated Film.

Fanboys finally came out last week, right? No really, it is now playing. We have video evidence that it had its official premiere, courtesy of the lovely folks at Gen Art.

There is no need to adjust your monitor, wonder if you swallowed too many of Grandpa’s happy pills, or even be afraid that you have somehow entered into a Finnegan’s Wake-like world where up is down, left is right, and James Joyce is actually relevant. That’s right-Kyle Newman’s Fanboys has actually seen the light of limited release.

I dunno what to make of the lineup this weekend. To be honest, I’m just not that into the weekend’s movies. If you’re a fanboy, you probably won’t be too thrilled either.

If you’ve read the novel, we think you’ll know what The Comedian, Silk Spectre, and we’re talking about. If you haven’t, be prepared for some spoilers and a ton of differing opinions.

A lot of movie fans hate Fox. There’s no question of that. We even know why. Now the question is whether or not that hatred is justified. Cinema Sleuth is on the case!

After waiting years for the release, Fanboys will finally see the dim light of the theater. That’s enough to make Kristen Bell Go Wild.

Kyle Newman might be the geek world’s favorite director whose movie hasn’t actually come out yet. But despite the problems he’s had with Fanboys, it appears that he’s still getting work.

I am beginning to get the feeling that most people have lost interest in the movement to save Fanboys. That said, here’s a new trailer. Enjoy.

Normally, it would be pretty ridiculous to be excited about a film not due out until 2011, but since it’s still in the planning stage, we have some things we’d like to see make it into the script.

Film critic David Denby’s review didn’t completely denounce The Dark Knight, but it didn’t exactly praise it either. That said, why are fans calling for his head on a platter?

You would think that we would send our ninja spies out to get concept art and script pages from Transformers 2 or something, but no, we send them after the holy grail, never-before-seen footage from an upcoming episode of Ask a Ninja.

There was a time when Harvey and Bob Weinstein were the heroes of American cinema. Now, we are seeing that these guys are just big douchebags, like so many other people in the business.

As fanboys across the country mobilize for a protest against the Weinstein Company and their release Superhero Movie, everyone else will be out there trying to pick something to see this weekend. Will the protests stop the big parody from taking the top spot? We have our doubts.
