When culture pops, we wipe it up ...

I remember reading about director Alfonso Cuarón's 3D sci-fi thriller Gravity (due out on October 4th) a year or so ago and initially dismissing it because of a lack of detail. Well, here's the first teaser trailer for it, and HOLY CRAP ON A BISCUIT. The first minute and a half trailer is more exciting than most full-length movies, and Sandra Bullock and George Clooney do a really great job in it. MORE
There's a collective fluster among the crowd, who are seated in a theater in Chelsea, waiting for the world premiere of Bridegroom at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. The screening is running almost thirty minutes late and nothing is happening. George Takei, who is probably the most famous gay geek on the planet keeps coming in and out of our row and apologizing immensely each time. In typical NY fashion we're all complaining to the ushers and MORE
If you've never seen Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, log onto Netflix this instant and watch them. Trust us, they're REALLY good. Anyway, the team behind those movies -- Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright -- are reuniting for a new flick called The World's End (due out in the states on August 23rd), about a group of guys who go on a pub crawl in the middle of a town populated by pod-people. It's like a mix of the aforementioned Shaun with a MORE
After The Avengers earned so much money that Disney started using $20 bills as napkins, it probably shouldn't be too surprising that Iron Man 3 followed in its footsteps with a massive opening weekend, the second-highest after (guess?) The Avengers. Box Office Mojo reports ... Kicking off the Summer movie season this weekend, Iron Man 3 lived up to sky-high expectations with an estimated $175.3 million haul. That ranks second all-time behind MORE
After the massive success of Bridesmaids a couple years back, Kristen Wiig is returning to the big screen with Girl Most Likely (July 19th), where she plays a woman who has a meltdown and moves back in with her mother. It also features her having sex with Glee star Darren Criss, which ... yeah, good call Kristen. You played your cards right on that one. I will pay to see this. MORE
Scott Coffey loves his screwball comedies. His directorial debut Ellie Parker which starred Naomi Watts was a brilliant little film that was criminally underrated. You also might know him as one of David Lynch's many muses. He has appeared in Mulholland Dr., Lost Highway and was the voice of Jack Rabbit in Inland Empire. Coffey is no stranger to weird, which is why I'm somewhat disappointed by his second feature Adult World. He replaces Ellie MORE
Here's the trailer for The Bling Ring (directed and written by the fabulous Sofia Coppola), based on the true story of an eponymous team of vapid Hollywood teens who woke up one morning and realized it was a lot easier to get rich and famous by robbing celebrities than it was to, you know, actually do anything. Anyway, the trailer looks promising, Emma Watson is pitch perfect in it, and I can't believe I'm saying this but it actually makes me MORE
Marina de Van is one of the most interesting filmmakers working today and PopBytes had the privilege of attending the world premiere of her new film Dark Touch at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. It's our first year officially attending the festival and it seemed rather appropriate for de Van to welcome us into the theaters of New York City with her brand of provocative and disturbing subject matter. Her first film, 2002's In My Skin, she plays MORE
The long awaited reboot / origin story / cash-cow milking of Superman, this one called Man of Steel (starring Henry Cavill), is coming to theaters on June 14th, so to get you all ready here's the first full-length trailer for it. The ad features him escaping from Krypton and saving a bus full of kids before he apparently decides to grow a beard and join the cast of Deadliest Catch, and then yadda yadda yadda SUPERMAN. And also Amy Adams is in MORE
I finally got around to catching the first Hunger Games movie last month, and shockingly I actually loved it. A big budget movie that features a strong, full-realized female protagonist, an intelligent script that remains accessible without pandering to the viewers, and a topical moral about how the first world uses weaker areas for resources and how the media romanticizes real-life violence? MORE OF THIS, HOLLYWOOD. Anyway, here's the first MORE
After the surprise success of The Hangover, and then the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V job that was The Hangover Part II (seriously, that movie was the exact same as the first, only with "Thailand" replacing every instance of the word "Las Vegas") here's the trailer for The Hangover Part III (out May 24th). Unlike the last movie, this one at least seems to be trying to do something different, in that they basically took all the pieces of the first movie and then MORE
Okay real talk? I like the original Carrie (1976), but there was always this one thing that held the movie back for me: Sissy Spacek wasn't a teenager. She's a talented, gorgeous actress, but she just couldn't play a high schooler when she was really 27. Anyway, here's the new trailer for Carrie (out October 18th), starring actual teenager and all-around fantastic actress Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie White, with her religious fanatic mother MORE
You know what's weird? It's April 2nd, but I'm still sifting through everything that happened yesterday trying to figure out what is and isn't an April Fool's Day prank (and, in the case of LiLo, what happens when you destroy your brain and then try to pull of a clever prank). Take for instance the NSFW red band trailer for This Is The End, the new movie from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg which features a bunch of celebrities playing themselves in MORE
Yeah, that headline just happened. I have to go literally die of happiness because FINDING DORY. Remember me ... for my all-consuming hatred of the Kardashians ... Access Hollywood reports... “I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” Ellen DeGeneres said. “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating Toy Story 16. But the time they took was worth it. The script is MORE
