If there was one thing that fans hated about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull it’s that the magical realism of religion was tossed aside for a tale about aliens who had a love for polished glass. It didn’t seem right within the universe where, for whatever reason, a box with a bunch of angry, face-melting souls did. So, as a fan, I find myself questioning whether to groan or start a slow clap with the news that Indiana and company are going to be headed for the Bermuda Triangle. Will this be the right brand of magical realism for the series?

This morning we take a look at fan made trailers for the Lost finale, dueling Marylin Monroes, the future of Nick Fury, Mark Hamill’s directing career, Paul Dano vs. Aliens and more.

Michael Bay seems to be trading one type of bloat for another.

Rumors are circulating again that an adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s stellar comic book Y: The Last Man is not completely, totally, absolutely dead. In fact, if those whispers are to be believed, Louis Leterrier himself is interested in resurrecting the recently dead project. With that optimism on the line, I’d like to politely offer 7 things for the filmmakers to think about while tackling the best graphic novel that Stephen King has ever read.

He’s Baaaaaaaa-aaaack.

Greed. Is. White-haired. And Shia Labeouf is on a motorcycle a lot.

Coming off of his long-gestating project The Road, director John Hillcoat is looking toward the future. Toward a story of Prohibition bootleggers that may star two of Hollywood’s best young actors.

As guaranteed by the box office take, Indiana Jones and the Half-Blood Prince has got its story line. Now, all they need is a script that Harrison Ford smiles at, and we’re on our way to a fifth adventure.

Apparently it’s now called Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, and legendary actor Frank Langella will be joining the cast in a pivotal role.

The full-length trailer for the upcoming compilation piece New York, I Love You has hit the web this week. And whether we like it or not, this New York lovefest is happening.

The year 2009 finally has its first $300 million dollar domestic grosser in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the movie that continues to defy critical rebuking and hit big with audiences.

It may be a bit late in the game to be pounding on our chests and touting the fact that Paramount Pictures has provided us with an exclusive image from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but we like exclusives so we’re just going to roll with it.

With Transformers 2, Michael Bay doesn’t pretend he’s making anything but a silly blow’em-up kids movie overflowing with eye candy, and we’re all better off for it.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and My Sister’s Keeper.

On This Week’s Show: Neil hoses down the Magical Studio in the Sky with bodily fluids and testosterone after watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen not once, but twice.

I refuse to make this article about Transformers. I refuse to talk about how awful of an actor Megan Fox is, who cannot even effectively scream “Saaaaaaam!” I refuse to espouse on the ridiculous plot. I refuse to complain about seeing John Turturro’s hairy buttcheeks in my face, 20 feet high.

If there is an ‘it’ girl of 2009, it will be Carey Mulligan. You can take that to the bank. And now she’s adding some firepower to her 2010 film slate as well.

And just like that, here comes your daily Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen update. This one should be rather easy, seeing as my main concern is hitting you with a bunch of new photos from the film, which hits theaters in less than a week.

More Shia LaBeouf talking about how this isn’t his war, more Megan Fox yelling “Sam!” and looking rather attractive and more Optimus Prime telling us that there’s a lot that has been kept from us. It must be Wednesday, it must be Transformers 2.

To be fair, there is actually no ‘fanboy rage’ yet, but be sure that it is coming folks. In an interview with BBC News, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star Shia LaBeouf made claims that director Steven Spielberg is already hard at work on a follow-up to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
