The 10 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2011There were plenty of movies from this year that I absolutely loved and others that I absolutely hated, but there’s a very special category that exists between both of those ends: the ones that left me utterly disappointed. While I always enter a movie theater hoping to love the hell out of whatever I’m watching, the truth is that there are some films that I spend a lot of time thinking about and anticipating, only to be left frustrated at the end....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-29 16:09:49comments
Jamie Chung Moving From Hangover Sequel To Human Trafficking Drama EdenChung has signed on to headline Megan Griffiths’ gritty independent drama Eden. Though the title hints at paradise, the plot suggests anything but, as Chung would play a girl kidnapped by human traffickers who is forced into prostitution for two very long years....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-06-28 10:45:01comments
Sucker Punch Puts Up Its Dukes On Blu-Ray This JuneFans of sound and fury, signifying nothing, mark your calendars for June 28. That's the date Warner Home Video has set to release Zack Snyder's cinematic train wreck known as Sucker Punch as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, Blu-ray, and a standard DVD. And while you won't actually get a coherent or interesting story in exchange for your hard-earned cash, I'm sure it'll look grand in high-definition....by David Wharton | published: 2011-05-30 13:06:37comments
Watch The First 5 Minutes Of Sucker PunchMaybe you read all the bad reviews of Sucker Punch and then the massive outpouring of support for it from the handful of fans that followed. That probably left you pretty confused about whether it’s worth your time, so here’s something to help you decide. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-03-30 16:26:54comments
Box Office KO: 3 Reasons Sucker Punch FloppedWhether or not it eventually ekes out a break even number, by just about any measure Zack Snyder's latest was a tremendous disappointment at the box office. What went wrong? I have a few ideas, here's where for Sucker Punch, the whole thing fell apart. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-03-28 02:09:09comments
Weekend Box Office: No Sucker Punch On Wimpy KidFox seems to have found itself a new little cash cow. While Diary of a Wimpy Kid is no Harry Potter franchise, it's turning tidy profits following the Saw model: crank out one semi-popular movie a year on a cheap budget and watch the money roll in. ...by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-03-27 21:52:18comments
Fixing Zack Snyder: Less Sucker Punch, More Budget CrunchOnce he's done with the Man of Steel, I'm dying to see Snyder handed $30 million and a shopping mail again, to prove he's still a director who knows how to get out of his own way, who knows his great talents are sometimes even better when we don't see quite so much of them. ...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-03-27 20:19:25comments
Wait... What? Explaining Why Sucker Punch Makes No SenseI hate Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. I hated it while I was watching it, immediately after I watched it, and I still hate it just as much, if not more, two days later. It makes no sense. It’s easily the worst film I’ve seen this year. But that’s not good enough. You can just as easily say you think it’s awesome, and then we’re at an impasse of foolish, polarized and shortsighted opinions...by Mack Rawden | published: 2011-03-27 18:10:33comments
Discuss Sucker Punch With Spoilers And Rate ItSucker Punch was, until this weekend, one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the year. If you’ve seen it, then you know there’s no such thing as a “meh” reaction to Zack Snyder’s latest, big-budget frenzy. You want to talk about Sucker Punch, and we want to talk about with you. ...by CB | published: 2011-03-26 00:16:53comments
Watch The Magic Origins Of Sucker Punch's Super-Samurai WarriorsEven if you’ve only seen the trailers for Sucker Punch you probably remember the gigantic, samurai warriors which do battle with the movie’s girl hero Baby Doll. In the film they’re the bad guys in the first big action sequence and, they sort of just materialize out of nowhere. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-03-25 18:24:19comments
The Dream Is Real: Five Movies That Do Imaginary Worlds Better Than Sucker PunchSucker Punch failed to get it right. But there are movies out there that not only take place largely in dream worlds, or places existing entirely within a character's head, but do it exceptionally well. We spent a week figuring out exactly how to define these...by Katey Rich, Eric Eisenberg & Mack Rawden | published: 2011-03-24 21:53:18comments
Interview: Sucker Punch's Jena Malone, Jamie Chung And Vanessa HudgensUnless you are a completely diluted, self-centered individual, you understand that you need others to help you survive in this world, whether it’s just getting by in your day-to-day life or trying to escape a mental hospital. So when Babydoll (Emily Browning) plans the latter, she doesn’t try to go it herself, and enlists the help of Amber (Jamie Chung), Rocket (Jena Malone) and Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) to help her....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-03-24 13:49:19comments

Interview: Sucker Punch's Carla Gugino And Oscar IsaacAs you’ve likely gathered from the trailers and plot synopsis, Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch is about a group of five young women who craft a plot to escape a mental hospital.

Third Sucker Punch Short Examines The Lives Of Oppressed RobotsThis new Sucker Punch short is called “Distant Planet” and it attempts to examine the lives of oppressed robots, and the nature of life and death.

Watch Four Minutes Of Sucker PunchOne thing you can always count on with Snyder is that he’ll deliver a visual feast, unlike just about anything else you’re likely to see in theaters.

This Rotten Week: Predicting Sucker Punch And Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 2 ReviewsThis week we've got two movies on such opposite ends of the theatrical spectrum that I doubt they can even see each other.

New Sucker Punch Animated Short Breathes The Fire Of FaithThis one ignores the more focused, individual story used in the stormtrooper short in an attempt to say something big and broad about the power of religion and faith. In the process, it turns into something pretty preachy, but in its own way also beautiful and thoughtfu...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-03-18 01:52:37comments
Feel Sympathy For The Stormtrooper With This New Animated Sucker Punch ShortWhen talking about Star Wars - which I love to do - one of my favorite debates is in regard to the innocence of stormtroopers. On the one hand they are henchmen working for what many consider to be an evil organization, but on the other they can simply be seen as government employees who are just trying to do their job and don't deserve to be blown up along with the Death Star....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-03-15 12:12:35comments

Four New International Trailers For Sucker PunchA big part of what has made the previously released trailers for Sucker Punch so awesome has been the music that they've used. Be it "When The Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin or "Panic Switch" by Silversun Pickups, the song choices so far have been absolutely stellar, but what happens when those songs are replaced with something much less mood appropriate?...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-03-11 02:22:03comments
Incredible Retro Sucker Punch Pin-Up PostersSucker Punch takes place entirely in the imagination of a teenage girl, and yet for some reason the world she imagines looks like World War II steampunk.
