Here is the Restricted Semi Pro Trailer amigos!
Not too much in here … but this film certainly seems to have turned up the crass volume on Ferrell; and I support this decision!
What do you guys think? I laughed at loud at the part with the referee and am pumped to see Tim Meadows!

Doomsday (2008)
Following on from the success of The Descent, director Neil Marshall brings us a vision of the future that’s inspired by the likes of Escape From New York and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
Doomsday takes place three decades after a lethal virus called the Reaper nearly wipes out Scotland and causes the rest of the world to wall off the country. When the Reaper begins to emerge in another country 30 years later, an elite team and their leader (Rhona Mitra) are sent to the contaminated landscape of the walled-off country to find a cure.

OK, it’s certainly not the most original idea, and the whole post-apocalyptic thing is very en vogue right now, we’ve even got an Escape from New York remake looming, so what makes this stand out? Well, it’s Neil Marshall, and he’s got a very good track record so far. The fact that it’s a British production should set it apart from the Hollywood crowd.
Definitely a film I’ll be looking out for.

For all the fun I make of people like Peter Travers who seem to be paid solely to phrase each and every review in such a way as to be highly quotable for posters and advertisements, I can’t say that it isn’t a tiny bit exciting to see one’s name on a movie poster.
Check me out…
That’s that minuscule indie Jones I wrote about a while ago, which played in Manhattan last week at The Pioneer. (In the interest of full disclosure I did know that I’d probably be quoted since I’d met the filmmaker at the first showing a few months ago and he asked if I’d be reviewing it). But still: weird seeing my name on a poster. It’s the very first time, to my knowledge.
Next stop: plagiarizing press packets in place of actual reviews… [lump in throat] “Mama, I’ve made it!”
You’ll note the sarcasm. I’d be terrible at blurb whoring. Aside from my unfortunate love for the exclamation point, I’m really sort of sedate. I’m stingy with the “A”s and I hate all reviews by anyone –even critics I love — that claim something new is “the greatest of all time…” or “the greatest [insert type of movie] since [insert ancient classic here]” because they strike me as either insincere, over-caffeinated or ignorant. Has no one seen anything older than ten years? I can’t tell you the amount of dry heaving I did when people were comparing the pedestrian film version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone to The Wizard of Oz. Or when I saw Stephen Holden’s blurb on the poster of La Vie En Rose. Stephen do you really want to claim that Marion Cotillard is giving the best performance of a performer ever in one hundred plus years of cinema? Because that’s what it sounds like…
Here are but a few choice examples of blurbs I can offer some movies this year.

Nicolas Cage’s National Treasure: Book of Secrets (Disney) continued its holiday domination with a $9.52M Thursday, down 17% from the day after Christmas. The sequel about treasure hunter Ben Gates has
ALL-TIME BEST 7-DAY GROSSES FOR DECEMBER RELEASES
1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - $150.1M
2. The Lord of the Rings: Thed Two Towers - $123.3M
3. I Am Legend - $103.2M
4. Meet the Fockers - $97M
5. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - $94M
6. National Treasure: Book of Secrets - $86.43M
7. Night at the Museum - $79M
8. King Kong - $77M
Amazingly, Alvin and the Chipmunks (Fox), made for a modest $60M, is proving to be a box office monster. It was up 8% on Thursday good for $8.67M and a 2nd place finish. That marks 3 straight days of increased ticket sales, so Alvin is showing no signs of slowing down. The Fox family comedy stars CGI versions of Alvin, Simon & Theodore, and these critters have managed the all-time 3rd-best 2-week performance for any movie with a CGI star trailing King Kong, on a par with the original Scooby Doo and besting beasts like Godzilla and the Hulk.
ALL-TIME BEST 14-DAY GROSSES FOR MOVIES WITH A CGI STAR
1. King Kong - $128.5M
2. Scooby-Doo - $111.5M
3. Alvin and the Chipmunks - $111.1M
4. Hulk - $108.7M
5. Godzilla - $100.6M
6. Stuart Little - $63.3M
Sweeney Todd (Dreamworks/Paramount) was down for a 3rd straight day, falling to #9 with $2.23M and a $1,788 PTA. It is a film of undisputed brilliance, but it would have benefited from a platform rollout instead of the “cash grab†of a 1,788 location run. The studio took a “€œbait and switch”€ approach, essentially “€œtricking”€ younger moviegoers into seeing a horror film, which turned out to be a Sondheim musical. The perception of commercial failure, along with the (literally) rivers of blood spilled in the movie may conspire to keep this one out of the Best Picture category (although director Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp seem like locks with plenty of attention in the technical categories as well).
Also down for the 3rd consecutive day was the Oprah Winfrey-produced, Denzel Washington-directed The Great Debaters (Weinstein/MGM). This inspirational tale sank another 23% on Thursday to $1.6M and a PTA of $1,383 at its 1,164 locations. It seems that with limited commercial upside, a questionable Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture - Drama (c’mon, 7 nominees) and a more lauded Washington performance in American Gangster, Debaters is a non-starter in the Oscar race.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood (Paramount Vantage) suffered a 16% dip from its Wednesday PTA of nearly $34K at 2 locations, but the searing period drama still impressed with a stunning $28K per. With Daniel Day Lewis giving perhaps his best-ever performance, Blood is a guaranteed arthouse blockbuster. As a bonus, older men seem to love this movie, and that’€™s the key Oscar voting block. (Of course, No Country For Old Men (Miramax) has similar appeal, so that may open the Best Picture door for a more female-skewing movie like Atonement.)
Two other Oscar contenders got nice bumps in business Thursday with both The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Miramax) and Persepolis up 16%.
Diving Bell scripter Ronald Harwood and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski seem like Oscar nomination locks for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography respectively. Some degree of commercial success could nudge Julian Schnabel more firmly into the Best Director quintet, and it would also help Max Von Sydow in the Supporting Actor category. (Although, it seems that the Best Actor race is too crowded with too much pedigree for the remarkable Mathieu Amalric.)
Meanwhile, Thursday’€™s PTA of about $3,000 at 7 locations can only help Persepolis for an Oscar nomination quinella of Best Foreign Language Film and Best Animated Feature.

Universal has sent us the first photo from the new comedy Baby Mama, which stars Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, and Sigourney Weaver. Writer turned director Michael McCullers’ (Austin Powers 2 and 3) feature film debut tells the story of “two women, one apartment and the nine months that will change their lives.” Yeah, doesnt sound that interesting to me either.
Tina Fey is funny, and good to look at on screen, but her true talents are behind a computer keyboard. Her work writing SNL was a highlight of the show, and Fey wrote (er adapted) one of the best teen comedies in the last 10 years: Mean Girls (remember when Lindsay Lohan was still “family friendly”?). If Fey was attached as writer, than I’d have a lot more faith. But truth be told, Baby Mama was penned by the same guy who wrote both the 2004 big screen adaptation of Thunderbirds and Undercover Brother.
I received an email last month from someone who claimed to have seen a test screening of the film. This is what he said: “It’s an average, decent comedy. Like Knocked Up but nowhere near as good.” Take that for whatever it is worth. Check out the full photo and newly released plot synopsis after the jump.
Click on the image above to enlarge. Here’s the official plot Synopsis:
Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) has long put her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she’s finally determined to have a kid on her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski (Amy Poehler) to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple enough…
After learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) of their surrogacy center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode: reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top pre-schools. But the executive’s well-organized strategy is turned upside down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live.
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as structured Kate tries to turn vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant mom. In a comic battle of wills, they will struggle their way through preparation for the baby’s arrival. And in the middle of this tug-of-war, they’ll discover two kinds of family: the one you’re born to and the one you make.
Baby Mamma hits theaters on April 18th 2008.

Thanks for checking out our Alien vs Predator Requiem Review. You can see the video review at the bottom of this post.
In the world of “dream fights”, without question one of the top most yearned for on screen battles has always been Aliens verses Predators. So along came the first AVP movie a couple of years ago, and to call it a disappointment would be a bit of an understatement. Personally, I still got a bit of a kick out of it (the line about finding Moses’ DVD collection almost made me spit up my pop) but there is no denying that it could have… and SHOULD HAVE been much much better.
When word came out about they studio giving the franchise another shot, I was shocked. Yes the film made over $170 million world wide, but it was so panned by fans and critics I thought they’d just celebrate their money and call it a day. Nope… here comes AvP-R (bloody stupid as hell title). The trailers made it look like it would be a big step up from the previous attempt? Was it? No.
THE GENERAL IDEA
Our old friends the Predators are back. Always looking for the ultimate prey to hunt and challenge themselves against, they seem to have run out of worthy opponents. So instead of just retiring the old cloaking devices, they decided to breed a new kind of prey by crossing their own DNA with that of ALIENS. Something goes horribly wrong and the Predator ship crashing on earth releasing the new PrediAlien onto our unsuspecting world to kill, breed and multiply. The Predator response to this…. send one guy to come fight them. Why not?
Meanwhile, an edgy pizza boy is in love with the high school hottie, but she is dating the evil popular school jock (no, I’m not kidding, I swear to high heaven I wish I was) who bullies him and makes him sad (poor sad pizza boy), but undeterred the pizza boy is committed to winning the hottie’s heart, and surviving the oncoming Alien Apocalypse (aren’t we all).
THE GOOD
The film wastes no time in setting up the situation. Right from the opening credits we see the Predator ship circling around earth with their little PrediAlien experiment. Chaos, the ship crashes, Aliens escape and start the killing… all within the first 3 minutes!!! I’m come to appreciate it when dumb mindless fun flicks just recognize what they are and jump right into it… AVP-R does that.
It was nice to see that AVP-R never took itself too seriously. They filmmakers clearly understood that people weren’t expecting “300″ or “Braveheart” here… they just wanted to see a lot of people and monsters getting ripped the hell up. There were none of the dreaded “life lessons” that plague some other films, no deeper message or purpose… it was essentially an hour and a half of video game nonsense… and for a film like AVP-R, that’s a good thing.
Some of the action was great! As promised by the advanced R rated trailers, there are some gloriously gory and fun shots of guys getting their heads blown, acid burning through unsuspecting flesh… and the movie doesn’t spare children or pregnant women either (I won’t give anything away here… but wow the scene in the hospital was fun!). Yup, it sure seemed like the filmmakers understood what people wanted to see… well… at least in the third act. The first two acts were a waste, which leads us to….
THE BAD
As already mentioned in the opening of this review… THERE IS A PIZZA BOY IN LOVE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL HOTTIE, WHO IS ALREADY DATING THE EVIL POPULAR SCHOOL JOCK!!!! No,,, once again I’m NOT kidding. I had to look around the theater to see if anyone else was about to get up and walk out just for that alone. And of course the big bad boyfriend bullies the pizza boy all while the hottie looks on and feels bad, ultimately (SPOILER) rejecting the jock to get with the loser pizza boy. Good… fricking… grief. For a little while I thought it was some sort of joke.
As expected, the “story” and “dialog” were completely pathetic. Like I said, no one was expecting 300 or Braveheart, but at least pretend to give a shit about the words coming out of these people’s mouths.
For a movie that supposedly understood what people were wanting out of it… a brainless action flick with lots of violence, Alien killing, Predator hunting, people dying a horrible horrible horrible ways… it sure was slow for most of the film. As I mentioned, the movie does jump right into it in the first 5 minutes… but then is pretty much goes to sleep for the next hour. A pizza boy trying to get the hot girl (GAG!!!)… an army mom coming home from a tour of duty trying to win back the affection of her little girl (GAG!!!!)… an ex-con returning to town to try to start over (GAG!!!)… these are the things that make up the majority of the first 2 acts with just the odd transitional scene showing either the Aliens or the Predator.
Ok, now on the level of wanting a dumb, brainless fun action film… I was wanting to see a LOT of Aliens and Predators fighting. However, I was quickly disappointed to see that there was only ONE Predator! COME ON!!!!! Yes we want to see the hapless humans get ripped to shreds… but we’d also like to see some fights where Aliens win certain encounters and rip up a Predator or two as well! Nope… wasn’t going to happen… not with just one Predator. Very disappointing.
OVERALL
If you really want to enjoy Alien Vs Predator - Requiem, just watch the R-rated trailer… because most of (not all) of the best stuff is in there… and the rest of the film is mostly moms connecting with daughters and the pizza boy trying to get the girl. However, AVP-R is not a total waste of a film. There is enough mindless fun in it that you won’t HATE the film (I didn’t hate it), just not enough to be anywhere as good as it could have been. Overall I give AVP-R a 4.5 out of 10.

Universal has sent us the first official photos of Edward Norton as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk. Click on the production photos to enlarge.
Edward Norton stars in this new beginning as Bruce Banner, a scientist desperately hunting for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him - The Incredible Hulk.
More photos after the jump.
Zak Penn is also listed as a co-writer, which is interesting since Edward Norton tried to take full credit on a complete rewrite at Comic Con. The official plot synopsis calls the film “all-new,” and refers to the story as a “new beginning”:
THE INCREDIBLE HULK kicks off an all-new, explosive and action-packed epic of one of the most popular superheroes of all time. In this new beginning, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk.
Living in the shadows—cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler)—Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.
The Incredible Hulk will smash into theaters on June 13th 2008. And here is the previously released concept art for the big green man himself.

This will be my third time crossing over into a new year while writing for Cinematical, and I’ve never once shelled out a top ten list. And every year, as January approaches, I always say to myself, “This will be the year I write a top ten list.” Recently, it was more like, “You’re the editor of the friggin’ site — you need to write a top ten list. It’s, like, mandatory and punishable by death in some states.” You’ll notice that Cinematical has officially kicked off our year-end extravaganza; it began earlier this month with our Hot and Lame in 2007 lists, and now we’ll end the year allowing several of our writers to give their top picks of 2007 (including a few posts on the worst films of the year as well). But when I looked at everything we were doing, I noticed one element was absent: Awesome Awards! So, instead of giving you another top ten list, here are my official awesome awards for 2007:
The Awesome Award for Best Action Scene Featuring Uncomfortable Male Nudity Goes to …
The bath house scene in Eastern Promises — David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises has wound up on a lot of year-end lists, and will most likely find a spot in the best picture category at the Oscars in 2008, but when you talk about the film there’s one scene that immediately comes to mind: the bath house scene. Viggo Mortensen plays a guy with ties to the Russian mob, and when a couple of dudes are sent to off him at a bath house, we get one of the best action sequences in all of 2007 … and Viggo is completely naked the entire time. It’s extremely uncomfortable and wildly exhilarating to watch all at the same time.
The Awesome Award for Best Scene Featuring a Nerd Attempting to Woo the Girl Next Door Goes to …
Sam Witwicky gives Mikaela Banes a “ride” in Transformers — You won’t see this film anywhere near a top ten best-of list this year, but Michael Bay’s Transformers did include one genuine, well-written, cutesy moment early on in the film when Shia LaBeouf’s character attempts to “pick up” Megan Fox on the side of the road in his new set of wheels and finds the yellow and black clunker has a mind of its own. While Fox is hardly the girl next door (more like the hottie on your next door neighbor’s Playboy calendar), it was fun to watch LaBeouf reacting to this bizarre situation, while still trying to make sense of it and woo the girl of his dreams. In a film full of giant f**king robots, this was the most human scene … if that makes any sense.
The Awesome Award for Best Performance from an Actress Who Will Probably Never Show Up in Another Boring Historical Epic Set Somewhere in Europe During the 16th Century Goes to …
Ellen Page in Juno — It’s pretty safe to say Juno is officially the Little Miss Sunshine of 2007. It’s quirky, cutesy, features odd, well-written characters and a hip indie soundtrack that makes you want to run over to iTunes, download, and pretend you’re a pregnant teen living somewhere in the Midwest. And this film would be nothing without Ellen Page’s awesome — make that triple awesome — performance in the lead role as Juno; a sarcastic, soul-searching teen who gets knocked up by the guy she kinda sorta thinks she loves. Here’s hoping Page will always remain the underdog when it comes to awards time, because I’d rather watch her totally shine in a smaller film than suffer through another “important” performance from Cate Blanchett or Keira Knightley.
The Awesome Award for Best Performance from an Actor Who Provided Us with One of the Creepiest Villains of All Time Goes to …
Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men — Thanks to Javier Bardem, I will never participate in another coin toss … ever again. His turn as Anton Chigurh in the Coen Bros.’ No Country for Old Men is a performance that’s bound to show up toward the top of an all-time greatest villains list for years to come. He had it all: The crazed, dazed look, the freakishly poetic dialogue and, most importantly, the originality. Yup, if someone ever walks up to me and insists he hold what appears to be the end of a helium tank up to my forehead, you bet your ass I’d be out of there in 2.2 seconds.
The Awesome Award for Best On-Screen Nudity from an Actress Who You Wouldn’t Expect to Still Look That Hot Goes to …
Marisa Tomei in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead — Not only was this one of the best films of the year, but fans of Marisa Tomei were ecstatic to see the girl show up naked throughout the entire first half. We could’ve done without Philip Seymour Hoffman’s naked donut spread out all over the screen, but man — did Tomei look hot or what? You go girl!
The Awesome Award for Best Cameo Performance in 2007 Goes to …
Tom Hanks in The Simpsons Movie — Out of all the cameo performances in 2007, it was Tom Hanks appearing as himself in an advertisement for “the new Grand Canyon” during The Simpsons Movie that had me rolling. Greatest line: “Hello. I’m Tom Hanks. The US Government has lost its credibility, so it’s borrowing some of mine.”
The Awesome Award for Best Judd Apatow-related Film of 2007 Goes to …
Knocked Up — Out of the three films Judd Apatow took part in (Knocked Up, Superbad, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story), it was the one he wrote and directed that shined just a tad more than the others. Who woulda thought we’d get three great comedies about pregnancy this year, with Juno, Knocked Up and Waitress? All of them delivered more than a ton of laughs, yet all still maintained a healthy dose of heart. My favorite line from Knocked Up (only because it’s so damn true): “Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond, only it doesn’t last 22 minutes. It lasts forever.”
The Awesome Award for the Cinematical Review That Was Better Than the Actual Film Goes to …
James Rocchi’s review of Good Luck Chuck – Out of all the reviews we write throughout the year, James’ take on Good Luck Chuck stood out because it was actually funnier than the damn film. Here’s my favorite snippet: “As for Alba, she may be the dreamgirl for millions of teen boys — or, rather, of pre-teen boys who sigh over their copies of Maxim and dream of one day being teens — but on-screen she’s deadly dull and exasperatingly stiff. Has Alba ever given a performance of any note? Or is she just a well-proportioned mammal where fate and the insane nature of modern fame have mysteriously plucked her from a life of car shows and county fair product demonstrations? Good Luck Chuck suggests the latter — because, honestly, if you actually read the script for Good Luck Chuck and still wanted to be in it, it’s fairly obvious you have no real sense of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ motivating your choices as a performer, just an understanding of the binary division between ‘working’ or ‘not working.’”
The Awesome Award for Most Overly-Hyped Film of 2008 That Still Looks Pretty Damn Cool Goes to …
The Dark Knight — Now that the full-length trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Batman sequel has debuted, there’s a good chance the bulk of the viral marketing is over and done with. Thank God. But you have to admit Warner Bros. pulled out all the stops for a film that was already at the top of everyone’s 2008 Must-See list by coming up with a marketing campaign that never ended. They had us surfing viral sites, looking for phone numbers to call, unlocking codes, taking pictures of Jokers — you name it, they did it. Personally, I’d like a good two months off from The Dark Knight in order to restore my anticipation meter, but considering the hype, it looks like it’s all going to pay off.
The Awesome Award for Erik’s Favorite Film of 2007 Goes to …
The Darjeeling Limited — Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed a bunch of films this year, and in my opinion the best all-around flick is No Country for Old Men — but my personal guilty pleasure, dark horse favorite was Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited. This flick grew on me over time, and it was the one I felt the most personally connected to. Perhaps it’s because I have two brothers who are very different from myself, or perhaps it’s because I’m a sucker for Anderson films — either way this gem about three guys searching for spiritual growth on a train in India stood out amongst the pack and ultimately won me over.

We have another picture from a soon to be film. This time it’s an image from the rom com What Happens In Vegas. We get the image from our friends at comingsoon:
The Kucher and Diaz should make for a successful box office draw, but I am often horrible at guessing the success of a film. I generally judge rom-coms harshly because I hate most of them. This may no different, but we shall see. All we have to go on right now is this picture; and it is a good one.
Kucher looks like he is having a riotous time with a straw in his beer bottle. I am not sure if that is root beer or beer beer, but I will assume it is alcoholic until I learn otherwise. Diaz looks like a trashy, drunk, slut-bride, and that could be good times. This picture is bursting with emotion and it was a great decision to lead with this one.
