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
Super 8 Casting Associate Discovered To Be A Convicted Child MolesterMuch in the way that parents likely hope to send their kids to school, or to some extra-curricular activity without having to fear that the adult they’ve left their child with might be a sexual predator, it’s probably a fair assumption to say the same applies to parents of children in the entertainment industry....by Kelly West | published: 2011-11-21 09:56:15comments

Super 8 Unspools On Blu-Ray And DVD November 22ndIn a summer of super-heroes and sequels, Super 8 stood out. Whether you were on board with J.J. Abrams ode to Spielberg and the "Amblin-style" movies many of us grew up with or not, there's no question that Super 8 was ambitious and original. If it failed, it certainly didn't do so for lack of trying. Thankfully, I'm in the camp that thought it worked remarkably well, so I'm giving thanks that Super 8 has been announced for Blu-ray and DVD this November 22nd....by David Wharton | published: 2011-09-16 08:44:24comments
Howard Stern's Copy Of Super 8 Leaks OnlineIn Hollywood, piracy is an unfortunate fact of life nowadays.

Bruce Greenwood's Secret Role In Super 8 RevealedSo now that we know Greenwood had a secret role-- and a really major one at that-- where was Abrams stalwart Greg Grunberg? He found a way to include the actor in Star Trek only as a voice, and you'd think among the many townspeople in Super 8 there would have been space for him...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-06-13 09:14:37comments
Weekend Box Office - Super 8 Shutters CompetitionIt's a camera! It's a motel franchise! No! It's the number one movie of the weekend? The top summer fodder tends to be big budget blockbusters. This weekend was devoid of any new major sequel releases and therefore gave rise to a quieter, more original film nabbing first place, despite a low audience turn out....by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-06-12 16:41:34comments
Discuss Super 8 With Spoilers And Rate ItAfter months of secrecy this weekend the world finds out what Star Trek director JJ Abrams’ next movie is all about.

CB Recommends: Super 8 And Other June 10th Weekend ReleasesWe’ve got two new releases coming up this week, and I haven’t the slightest idea how they’ll fare at the box office.

Stunning New Super 8 Poster Feels More Amblin Than EverNot only have the movies trailers captured that classic Amblin feel, so have the movies posters. In particular there was one which we showed you a few weeks ago, is a deliberate homage to the posters used to advertise Close Encounters.

There's A 70-Page Star Trek 2 Outline Ready For J.J. Abrams Whenever He Says GoStar Trek co-writer Robert Orci confirmed in the comments section over at TrekMovie.com that J.J. Abrams “is still working” with the writers on their script, and “hoped” that he will return to direct the sequel. He even went so far as to turn over a 70-plus-page outline for the sequel's script. Chances are Abrams officially will dive into the sequel once his Super 8 commitments are behind him, and the sequel will be in theaters on June 29, 2012. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2011-05-23 15:44:27comments

New Super 8 Clip Shows The Aftermath Of The Train CrashYesterday Paramount began releasing a series of clips from the upcoming J.J. Abrams film Super 8. All taking place around the same point in the film: the train crash that puts the plot in motion. The first 30 second look showed the kids at center of the plot setting up for a scene in their monster movie and the second was all about the action, showing exactly what happens when a gigantic freight train is thrown off of its tracks. If you thought that second clip was intense, wait till you get a load of this....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-05-17 22:11:17comments
Next Super 8 Clip Filled With Plenty Of Explosions And TensionEarlier today we posted the first clip from J.J. Abrams' Super 8 and it got us all pretty nostalgic for the classic Spielberg movies.

First Super 8 Clip Feels More Spielberg Than EverThe first clip from Super 8 has arrived, sort of. I say sort of because it’s not so much a complete clip as a bunch of portions of a scene edited together to squeeze it all in 30 seconds. I’m not sure this actually does them any favors, but it does at least give you some feel for the tone of director JJ Abrams upcoming film. ...by Josh Tyler | published: 2011-05-16 16:50:04comments
New Super 8 TV Spot Shows Just The Right Amount Of New FootageThe new bit of dialogue in the beginning about the car is new, as are a handful of shots of the destruction that presumably comes up in the third act, but for the most part everything here-- including the brief flashes seen twice-- are footage that's already out there...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-05-12 12:02:02comments
Two New Stills From J.J. Abrams' Super 8At this stage in the game I'm fairly confident that the mystery surrounding Super 8 isn't going to be solved in the marketing. The movie is set to be released in early June and while the broad assumption is that there's an alien involved, nothing has been confirmed, simply "unusual disappearances and inexplicable events," as described in the official synopsis....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-04-22 17:35:01comments
Interactive Super 8 Trailer Takes You Inside The Train CrashThe trailer itself looks cool-- you get to explore the interior of the train before it crashes, revealing what I presume are all kinds of Easter eggs-- but like with most things in video games, probably more fun to play than to look at.

Actor Tim Griffin Talks About Working On Super 8We certainly have our fair share of viral marketing for Super 8, but how about hearing about the film from someone who was actually on the set? Actor Tim Griffin worked with J.J. Abrams on Cloverfield, so he’s well versed in “the legendary secrecy.” However, even if Griffin were a poor secret keeper, he wouldn’t even have any information to divulge as he only got to see his pages of the script....by Perri Nemiroff | published: 2011-04-15 20:41:05comments

J.J. Abrams Explains The Lens Flares, Won't Say The Word Alien At Super 8 PreviewYes, the lens flares are back. You can glimpse them fairly often in the trailer and there are more to be seen in the footage we saw; at the reception afterwards I asked Abrams about their return, and if he had a philosophy for including them the way he did with Star Trek ("I love the idea that the future was so bright it couldn't be contained in the frame.")...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-03-24 09:48:29comments
