Hey guys, it's Dagwood...In my usual online snooping, I came across this video, which, while not a legit trailer, is definitely worth a look. I, for one, am both really excited about and utterly terrified of the Transformers movie. I loved the show. I loved the toys. I just hope I can love the movie.

Dagwood, here:Donnie's been kidnapped, so I guess the booth will continue to be on hiatus until Max and I can save up some cash to buy our tickets to Panama to talk his ex-wife into letting him out. *sigh*On an entirely different note, I bought the Tremors Attack Pack, and it's amazing.

Hey guys, it's Max...Oh how much I've missed since I've been away. Where shall we start?The Matt M. Sarah Jessica P. vehicle Failure To Launch wins number one spot at the box office this weekend...which answers the question of which is the worst movie to ever to capture the number one spot for a weekend.Coming in second? Tim Allen in the new remake of The Shaggy Dog. Come on folks, take a look at

Hey guys, it's Donnie...So by now this picture has disseminated all over the internet and Max Fischer was kind enough to point it out on Friday, but I feel like I should weigh in on our first real bona fide look at Spider-Man in his third go around. To the right is the image that Sony released last week, along with the disclaimer that it is NOT a black and white picture but is, in fact, Spidey

Hey guys, it's Max..... Yeah, that's right. Introducing me: The first ever featured writer in the Movie Booth. Now Donnie gets someone to fellate him while screening these crazy things we call movies. But only if he buys the popcorn...What I have in store for you is a weekly jabbering of crazy movie related things and what I think about them. Call me the David Spade of The Movie Booth. I would,

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I know, I know, you're thinking "Donnie, you've finally lost it. You've gone completely 'round the bend."And before you ask, yes, I am aware that Paul Walker is in this movie. And guess what? He doesn't suck. He's actually pretty damn good.This is probably the best directed movie to be released so far this year, which is obviously not saying much at this point, but

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I just got back from a screening of Brian DePalma's newest, The Black Dahlia, over in Sherman Oaks. Let's get straight to the point: This movie, while FAR from finished, is a disaster of tremendous proportions.First off, I know nothing about the true story of the Black Dahlia nor have I read James Ellroy's novel. I had heard about the movie some time ago and knew basically

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Variety is reporting that Sean Penn will direct his adaptation of John Krakauer's true story Into The Wild. Emile Hirsch (The Girl Next Door) will star as Christopher McCandless, a young man who, after graduating college in 1992, gave away all of his possessions and went to Alaska and hiked up onto Mt.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Someone recently told me that they know someone who works for National Lampoon, to which I replied, "That's too bad. Remember when National Lampoon equaled funny?"Hey, remember when the Coen Brothers equaled awesome?Well, it seems that the Coens might be making a return to form with their next project, No Country For Old Men.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...The long in development project Fanboys may have found it's cast.The project centers on four life long friends and Star Wars fanatics in 1998, before the release of Episode I. When one of the friends is diagnosed with terminal cancer and realizes he probably won't live to see the theatrical release of the new Star Wars film, the four friends embark on a cross country

UPDATE!! Alright, so after those pics surfaced yesterday, rumor has it that Theresa Russell's character, Flint Marko's wife, is actually going to be Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. The Black Cat. If true, that means we'll be seeing Sandman, Venom, Black Cat, AND Hobgoblin, along with Gwen Stacey? Jesus that's alot of new characters. I have a whole lot of faith in Sam Raimi, but this is starting to sound

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Not that I should have to point it out, but the 2006 Academy Award Nominations were announced this morning. What do I think? I think they are surprisingly pretty spot on. I'm ecstatic to see Terrence Howard and "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" getting nominations from Hustle & Flow. I'm glad that Clooney got a directing nomination, because he most assuredly deserves it.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Good news for all you 007 fans! Yesterday marked the first day of filming for Casino Royale, the next installment in the long running James Bond franchise.Filming will take place in the UK, Prague, Italy and the Bahamas. Daniel Craig will be taking over as James Bond and, after rewatching Layer Cake for the first time since I saw it in theaters, I'm really extremely

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Right now this is completely and totally 100% a rumor with nothing remotely resembling any kind of confirmation anywhere.Then why am I running it?Because it's awesome, that's why:A remake of Any Which Way But Loose starring The Rock.You heard me. The Rock and a monkey.I'm sure there's a Walking Tall/The Rundown joke to be made there somewhere...

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I've pretty much run out of ways to express my excitement for Chris Nolan's upcoming film The Prestige. Everytime someone else gets added to the cast I somehow get happier. At this point I might as well just give Nolan a blowjob, but despite my college alma mater, I really don't swing that way. Really.Confirming some rumors from last week, Andy Serkis (a.k.a.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...It's a sad day for theater owners.This past Friday, HDNet Films and Magnolia Pictures released Stephen Soderbergh's not quite 90 minute film Bubble in the first major "day-and-date" release. That is to say that the film played on 32 screens at a handful of Landmark Theaters, it ran on the HDNet television channel Friday night, and it'll be released on DVD this Tuesday. (

Hey guys, it's Donnie...In case there was any doubt, we are back in the midst of Award Season once again. The Golden Globes have come and gone and last night the Screen Actor's Guild chose to champion hollow bullshit "importance" in the form of Paul Haggis's Crash. How someone ever chooses crash over Goodnight and Good Luck I'll never understand.Today we got the nominations for one of my

Hey guys, it's Donnie...You know, Fantastic Four was a really painful film for me. I SO wanted greatness out of that movie because that's what the property deserves. One might think that I took some kind of evil glee in writing article after article tearing the film to pieces all throughout it's production and promotion, but it really did hurt me to have to sit here for a few months and slowly

Hey guys, it's Donnie...To all of you who have been checking in here despite the marked lack of content over the past few weeks, my most sincere apologies. Between the holidays, leaving my job and moving out of my apartment, things have been fairly hectic here at The Booth.But fear not! All this is merely in preparation for The Booth to relocate to bright and shiny new offices in Los Angeles!

The following will be a chronicling of all the movies I've seen in 2006. I'm not counting the countless DVDs I'll consume (because why would you count something countless?) but instead restrict myself to the new releases of 2006 that I actually travel to a theater to watch. I'll also include a rating of 1-5 stars.Let the mayhem begin...The Films of 2006The Black Dahlia **Brick ****The Hills Have

Hey guys, it's Donnie...So, we've got good news and we've got bad news:The good news is that producers Lloyd Levin and Larry Gordon have breathed life back into the chronically defunct Watchmen film. After Paramount ditched their property last year, the two have been shopping it around and it's now being widely reported that a production deal has been made with Warner Brothers, the studio that

Hey guys, it's Donnie...At this point I'm just starting to feel really bad for Nic Cage. Seriously, the guy just cannot win this year. He had two seemingly quality flicks that each lasted about two weeks in theaters. It was just announced last week that Ghost Rider has been pushed back from June 2006 to February 2007, and today Sony has given us our first glimpse of the big fiery skull in motion

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Welcome back to Trailertown!V For Vendetta: I'm totally psyched for this movie to come out, however I did not watch this trailer, no do I plan on watching it. Why you ask? Well, according to AICN's Quint, who saw the movie last weekend at Butt-Numb-A-Thon, it's a really well made trailer except for the fact that it essentially shows the entire movie in two and a half

They will then find themselves saying something along the lines of, "I don't understand. X2 was so good

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I made no secret of my love for the Lady In The Water teaser. I can't make any claims about the movie itself other than it having two great leads in the form of Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard. But that teaser...man that's pretty much a textbook perfect teaser trailer. Now we've got the official one sheet and I have to say that it looks like more of the same. Simple,

Right now, the franchise has temporarily stalled out. There are no shows actively running and the powers that be at Paramount can't seem to get started on a new film.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Welcome back to Trailertown!Holy crapola have we got a whole bunch of good stuff. With the AFI and most local critics' associations having just announced all their awards and with this morning's announcement of the Golden Globe nominations, we are now officially in the full swing of awards' season. And with all the big contenders getting released in the the next two weeks

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Ryan Reynolds has been making one good career move after another. Some of you might question that statement as you glance upon one of the countless Just Friends posters featuring Reynolds in a fat suit, but pay it no heed. That's a paycheck movie, pure and simple. And for every paycheck movie the guy makes, he does another movie that just flat out rocks, or at least he

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Phillip K. Dick novels have been tragically and consistently mis-handled by Hollywood over the years. Most will tell you that the reason is that most studios don't have the balls to make a real, trippy, in-your-face, mind-altering Dick movie (don't dwell on that sentence too long...) and instead distill some small, basic idea, rewrite the whole story, and then throw in Ben

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Richard Pryor passed away early this past Saturday morning due to a heart attack complicated by his long bought with MS. Nine days earlier he had celebrated his 65th birthday.He was also a goddamn comedy genius the likes of which we may never see again. Pryor is widely regarded as the greatest stand up comedian of all time, and rightly so. His onscreen work was also more

Hey guys, it's Donnie... Earlier this week rumors began to circulate that Guillermo del Tor, director of The Devil’s Backbone, Hellboy, and the upcoming Pan’s Labyrinth (which is gonna knock some people on their asses) had all but signed on the dotted line to direct the big screen adaptation of Halo. This got lots of folks (i.e. me) mucho excited.del Toro recently set the record straight: Jackson

Hey guys, it's Donnie... In the wake of The 40 Year Old Virgin’s success, (it was easily the funniest comedy of the year and hits DVD shelves next week) director Judd Apatow found himself with the opportunity to do all sorts of stuff. It was announced early on that his next project was going to be another Virgin-esque low budget comedy, but that Seth Rogen (Cal from Virgin and Ken from Freaks and

Hey guys, it's Donnie... Last week it was David Bowie. This week, director Chris Nolan has brought Scarlet Johansson and her marvelous sweater puppets onboard his next flick, The Prestige.Johansson, who is currently attached to more films than she can ever possibly hope to actually complete, will play an assistant to one of the magicians who is then sent to spy on the other, thus probably causing

Hey guys, it's Donnie... Documentarian Kirby Dick’s next project is titled This Film Is Not Yet Rated. It’s an investigative piece concerning the MPAA’s mysterious “ratings board”, a.k.a. the guys who watch movies from the perspective of “the average American parent” and then decide what the movie should be rated. The film looks into how certain movies are rated, like how violence is generally

Hey guys, it's Donnie... X3: Last Stand. Okay, they may not flash it up there on the screen, but Xavier says it quite clearly in the voiceover at the end, so I'm taking that as a sign that it's the full title. Then again, I also have a feeling that it's gonna be given all the weight that the second movie's full title was given. Fox may have called it X2: X-Men United, but in reality everyone just

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Once upon a time, Stephen Sommers was going to be directing a remake of the 1951 sci-fi film When Worlds Collide, the story of a "rogue planet" that is going to smash into the earth and an astronomer's desperate attempt to get some members of humanity off the planet before humanity goes bye-bye.Then he left to go do A Night At The Museum, in which Ben Stiller would play a

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I don't really understand why celebrities get so much shit for trying to get involved in world issues. Most movie stars and pop singers tend to have tremendous (if not undue) influence over the public consciousness, particularly when it comes to the youth of America. So why is it such a terribly awful thing when celebrities try to raise awareness of a particular issue or

Hey guys, it's Donnie...USA Today has got the first official pictures of X3, and while they don't spell outright doom, they certainly don't allay the fears that have been gnawing at the back of my head since early June.I don't think that's a very good publicity still of Kelsey Grammar's Beast. I'm hoping that the full body shot will do him better justice and that seeing that character in motion

Hey guys, it's Donnie...So we all know that the Halo movie is in the works. We all know that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are producing it, which virtually guarantees a high caliber of filmmaking at work. We all know that Alex Garland, of 28 Days Later fame, has written the script, which implies a lack of sucking. But what we're all waiting for is a director. Who's gonna pick up the bullhorn and

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Here we've gotten our first round of pictures from the set of Rocky Balboa, and I have to say that I really kind of like what I see. When Antonio Tarver was announced back at the beginning of the November, I though he seemed kind of scrawny, but now we've got a nice image of Tarver and Stallone side by side, even if it is at a bit of a skewed angle.I take it back.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...What struck me most after the first X-Men film wasn't necessarily how GOOD it was, but how much potential it had. The actual plotline was better than average but still left something to be desired. What it did very well, on the other hand, was establish the characters and create the world in which they lived. Even if you walked out of the theater disappointed, you had this

Hey guys, it's Donnie...So Fox has given us the official word that the X3 teaser trailer will in fact be playing in front of King Kong in just a few short weeks.

However, for the more impatient of us out here, Fox will be premiering the teaser over at Apple (in HD no less!) this coming Monday, December 5. Security has actually been

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I always find it kind of weird that in post-apocolyptic future movies, the world is covered in artifacts of our present but no one knows what any of it means. Like in Waterworld, there's that guy who lives in the room full of everyday items that he thinks are of extreme importance.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Welcome back to Trailertown!Zinda - So I'm still dreading the impending American remake of Park Chanwook's amazing film Oldboy. I'll be shocked if they don't totally cut the balls off the movie in an attempt to make it easier for American audiences to swallow, which is absolute bullcrap. However, when I heard that there was a Bollywood remake in the works, I got kind of

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Will Smith and director Jonathan Mostow have officially signed on to bring us Tonight, He Comes, the sketchiest titled movie of all time. Despite the various ejaculatory implications of the title, the film is actually about "a disaffected and underappreciated superhero in a mid-life crisis." Last I heard, the plot involved him getting really drunk and crash landing in a

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I flat out love Jeremy Piven. Always have, always will. I loved him when he was permanently stuck in John Cusack's shadow and I love him even more now that he seems to have found his way out of it.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I love 3D IMAX movies. I enjoyed the hell out of Aliens Of The Deep, and Batman Begins, despite being in a mere 2D, was phenomenal on the BIG big screen. I'd really like to catch Magnificent Desolation before it retreats from theaters and I even kind of want to see Polar Express, because if I'm ever going to watch that movie, 3D IMAX is the format I want to watch it in.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...So a few weeks back I mentioned my lack of excitement for Steve Miner's impending remake of Day Of The Dead, and how it was a crying shame that studios were more willing to greenlight zombie remakes than another actual Romero zombie flick.

In fact, Smith has been waging an epic war with messageboard posters over at AICN. It's been entertaining to say the least.

Isn't that hip and edgy?) and he reported that the script was uninspiring to say the least. His take was that it was okay, but

Hey guys, it's Donnie...This is probably the coolest news we'll hear all week. Chris Nolan's next not-Batfilm is The Prestige, a tale of two turn of the centry magicians dueling for magical supremecy. Our two magicians have already been cast, Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, and we also know that Michael Caine will play Jackman's mentor. So how could you possibly make your movie any cooler?Add

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Welcome back to Trailertown!Tristan And Isolde: This actually looks pretty entertaining. It feels very sort of reminiscent of Robin Hood: Prince Of Theives...which makes sense, as I now see that both films were directed by Kevin Reynolds. More recently he was responsible for Count Of Monte Cristo, which helped to kick start the career of Jesus himself, Jim Caviezel. I'm

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Bryan Singer recently spoke at the first (hopefully annual) Christopher Reeve Lecture series in Princeton NJ. He showed the ComicCon reel (GAAAHH I still really want to see that footage!) and did a whole lotta Q&A. One Princeton native, Tim of local band LUZER, chronicled the whole thing and was nice enough to send AICN a full account. It's extremely detailed and real

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I am now officially excited to see Poseidon, Wolfgang Peterson's remake of the classic 70's flick The Poseidon Adventure. Actually, it's not really a remake so much as a re-imagining of sorts. Rather than just remake the film, they've taken the basic idea (an ocean liner gets flipped upside down by a rogue wave on New Year's Eve) and created original characters and plot

Hey guys, it's Donnie...This has got to be one of the most ridiculous deals in the history of Hollywood. It's certainly the most ridiculous deal in recent memory. For reasons passing understanding (and by that I mean $$) New Line Cinema is absolutely intent on getting Rush Hour 3 off the ground. The picture almost came together earlier in the year, but the elusive Chris Tucker walked at the last

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Sony, Sony, Sony...What were you thinking?Sony announced this past weekend that they have completed the authoring on the first Blu-ray disc. Blu-ray, or BD-ROM for those of you not "in the know" is one of the two formats that will serve as the next generation of DVD. (The other is called HD-DVD.) Sony is boasting that this new Blu-ray disc features "dynamic menus with full

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I really have no idea what to do with this picture.This is our first glimpse of Jack Black in Nacho Libre, the newest flick written by Mike White (School Of Rock) and directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite). The story focuses on a Mexican priest who moonlights as a pro wrestler to raise enough money to save a small orphanage.By all accounts this movie should be total

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Mel Gibson, who may or may not be grooming himself to play Sadam Hussien, has become the champion of artistic integrity. Whoda thunkit?Gibson's Icon Productions is suing a Utah based company called CleanFlicks. These guy get a hold of copyrighted films, edit out "all the dirty parts", and then illegally resell them without the filmmakers' permissions. They've recently been

Hey guys, it's Donnie...People are all excited this morning because Jessica Simpson is in talks to nail down (heh heh, she can nail me down anytime...) her second major film role in Employee Of The Month. She would play a cashier at a Wal-Mart-esque discount store who makes two geeky employees drool all over the merchandise for her affection. In an attempt to win her over, the two start competing

Hey guys, it's Donnie...my most severe apologies for leaving you all in the cold last week. I had absolutely zero free time last week, in or out of the office. But, as promised, I've gathered all of last week's major headlines and distilled them into one easy to read column. In all honesty, I write a weekly column for another website where I sum up the week's news, and so I figured that,

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Sorry that we've been content-less all week. It's been an incredibly busy couple of days here at the booth and I honestly just have not had the chance to sit down and write any damn articles. But fear not, because I have been compiling the news all week and hopefully I'll be able to get some stuff up tonight.Anyway, I wanted to get this up before it was too late. It's

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Welcome back to Trailertown!I've been saving these up for a few days now, as each one sort of came out all by their lonesome. Now I'm giving them to you all at once. It's like I pinched the movie trailer garden hose so nothing came out for a while, and now you're gonna get a whole bunch of stuff at once. Aren't you lucky?The Fountain: Breathtaking.

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I guess this will have to tide me over until Warners releases the official Superman Returns teaser trailer next week.With the newest editions to Bryan's Blog, entitled Bespoke, we get a glimpse into the world of costume design, specifically in regards to some of Superman's evil-doers, Kitty Kowalski and her main squeeze Lex Luthor. Very cool stuff here. I had been

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I really enjoy Doug Liman as a director. Most of his projects are pretty intelligent, and at the very least (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) they're entertaining. And moreover, the man refuses to tie himself down to any one genre. He started with Swingers and Go and then all of a sudden he was doing big budget action flicks. His next project...well interesting is probably an

Hey guys, it's Donnie...You know, I've been tracking BlueTights.net pretty much since it went live. I've gotten so caught up in it, I sometimes forget that it's not technically the official Superman Returns website, particularly since there's been nothing much there other than the sheild and a date.Well all that has changed. Last night Warners announced that the Superman Returns teaser trailer

Hey guys, it's Donnie...But Liev Schreiber might by playing Harvey Dent! Batman sequel casting rumors continues to be a somewhat silly way to pass the time, seeing as the movie hasn't really made past the "This-is-basically-what-the-story's-about" phase and seeing as Chris Nolan has an entire other movie to shoot before that (with Christian Bale and Michael Caine no less!). And yet, somehow I

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to bashing Hollywood for their copious amount of remakes and TV adaptations, but sometimes a project comes along that just.....makes me sad.Sony and producer Michael De Luca have decided to bring back Robocop. ROBOCOP!! Are you kidding me?? Look, I'll grant you that the technology has come a long way since 1987 and I'm

Hey guys, it's Donnie...That took longer than I anticipated. It's been almost a month since Sony announced that Daniel Craig would be taking over duties as James Bond, and shortly after that director Martin Campbell admitted that they had gotten so wrapped up in casting Bond himself that they had even't started thinking about who'd be playing Vesper Lynd, Casino Royale's new Bond Girl.I'm amazed

Hey guys, it's Donnie...And here I was just talking about Westerns. Today we get word of a new western with an absolutely killer cast: Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson and Angelica Huston will star in Seraphim Falls. Get it? Angel Falls? The title is clever, see, cuz it works on two levels. Brosnan plays a Civil War colonel who refuses to lay down his sword after the war, and instead sets out to hunt

Hey guys, it's Donnie...IGN is reporting that Marvel Studios "may be in talks" with Will Smith to play the title role in the big screen adaptation of Nick Fury. So in other words, there could be absolutely no truth to this rumor whatsoever, but what the hell, it's an interesting idea to mull over...I'm sure alot of fan boy types will start bitching and complaining but, look...if I'm Avi Arad,

Hey guys, it's Donnie...Light heavyweight champion (someone please explain how this is different from middleweight) Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver recently gave an interview in which he claims that he has landed the role of Mason "The Line" Dixon in Rocky Balboa. Not only that, he says he's already started working on the film, having already begun the wardrobe process last week. That's him on the

Hey guys, it's Donnie...I love Alex Proyas's Dark City. It was one of those movies that I had been meaning to see for years, but when Proyas had I, Robot hitting theaters last summer, I decided to watch all his previous films so I could get a better handle on him as a filmmaker. And boy, am I glad I did. Dark City was one of the first DVDs that I re-purchased in the wake of The Great DVD Theft of
