New on DVD/Blu-ray: Mamma Mia!, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, The Third Man.
Cinemablend has a cool little interview with Mickey Rourke talking about his new film, The Wrestler.
The Horror! Stephen King’s 10 best movies of 2008. It’s a pretty respectable list, with the exception of Tropic Thunder, which would have been total shit save for Robert Downey Jr.’s performance.
AFI has also released its top 10 films of the year, with all the usual suspects accounted for. However, one surprise was Wendy and Lucy, which I hadn’t heard of ’til now. I dutifully found the trailer and can attest that it looks like a seriously heartbreaking piece of filmmaking. A check of the film’s official website doesn’t have it coming to Florida (at least not through March 26). Which kinda pisses me off, because if I’m going to watch a Depressing Important Film, it sure would be nice to see it on the big screen with a bunch of other people to share my tears with instead of alone, in my room, wearing my pj’s and feeling like an emotional basket case. One more thing: The dog better not fucking die. (Trailer follows the jump.)
Boldly glaring: Paramount has released a new banner ad for Star Trek, which I assume will satisfy those seeking another picture of Chris Pike making his sexy-time face.
Ocean dries up: Steven Soderbergh says that a fourth Ocean’s film isn’t likely now that Bernie Mac has passed on. It’s a shame somebody had to die to bring an end to this smarmy franchise filled with unlikeable, rich assholes following the lead of a couple of smirking douchebags who always look like they just came back from a GQ photo shoot.
