The First Trailer For Ender’s Game Just Gave Me Angina

For A Movie About Jackie Robinson, 42 Is Full Of White Guys You’ll Recognize

While I expected to be moved by the amazing true story of Jackie Robinson in 42, I did not expect to be playing a never-ending game of “Who’s that Middle-Aged White Guy and Where Is He From?” More »

Steven Spielberg Is Proud That Indiana Jones 4 Created A New Pop Culture Phrase

While Steven Spielberg could brush off fans’ criticism of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with a more eloquent version of “I’m Steven Spielberg, bitch,” he’s actually really optimistic about the negative reaction. More »

Virgin Viewing: The ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy

Back when I first started the Virgin Viewing column, there were a couple of movies that I could always mention and get a “You haven’t seen what?!” reaction from people: The Godfather, Back to the Future, and Star Wars. And since is this is my very last Virgin Viewing feature for Crushable, and I already saw The Godfather and Back to the Future, it seemed only right that I go out in grand style – barricading myself in my living room and watching the entire original Star Wars trilogy.

13 Actors Who Could Have Played Iconic Roles

Severus Snape? Alan Rickman. Marty McFly? Michael J. Fox. Vivian Ward? Julia Roberts. We all know and love these characters, and their actors’ portrayals of them were so perfect, it can be hard to imagine anyone else playing them. But guess what? If things had gone a little differently, Alan Rickman might not have landed Snape, Michael J. Fox may not have donned Marty’s orange vest, and Julia Roberts may not have become one of the world’s most well-known prostitutes. That’s right: Each of these characters were originally pitched to different actors, and in some cases, were even recast midway through shooting. What other iconic characters might have ended up being played by totally different actors? Read on to find out! More »

‘Cowboys & Aliens’: The Trouble with Loving the Movie’s World But Not Its Characters

Cowboys & Aliens is probably the movie I’ve most been looking forward to in 2011: The so-crazy-it-might-work blending of sharpshooters and interstellar invaders, the comic book pedigree, Jon Favreau at the helm while Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford team up. And I liked it a lot; it was funny, suspenseful, and had a good mystery — and those aliens were damn scary. But it didn’t blow me away, and I’m still confused as to why. If I had to make a guess, I’d say it’s partly because I didn’t really care about the characters. More »

Video: Harrison Ford Keeps Showing Up to Late Night Interviews Super High

If you watched Letterman last night, you were treated to a bizarre performance from Harrison Ford, who seemed very clearly high as a kite (one of those rainbow kites with the long strings that trail off slowly behind it). Harrison lamented his lack of Oscar wins and talked a lot of nonsense about horses. The whole thing was very reminiscent of Han Solo’s Conan appearance from last year, where the actor talked about blimps in a surreal, altered state. Bizarreness, all ways round. More »

7 Movies with Unbelievable Premises: Whether They Succeeded or Crashed and Burned

With many movies, especially the recent glut of remakes, it’s easy to figure out why they’re being made. But others, including three releases from this week — Passion Play, The Beaver, and Hobo with a Shotgun — have plots so implausible that they must be jokes, we thought, until they actually came to theaters. Find out how aliens, hand puppets, angel wings, deadly snakes, and mythical characters all made it to the big screen, and whether they made good on their promises to entertain. More »

14 Celebrities with Scars

We talk so much about celebrities’ outrageous tattoos that I figured it was worth searching for actors, musicians, and reality stars who have more lasting impressions on their skin. Some are self-inflicted, others thanks to medicine and diseases alike. But you can bet that we remember each and every one. More »

Virgin Viewing: ‘Raiders Of the Lost Ark’

Here’s the thing about classic movies – they have a whole lot of dudes in them. The Godfather was basically a bunch of dudes killing each other with women sticking their heads in and getting martyred every now and then. Back to the Future made Jennifer a non-entity and then had Marty’s mom mack on him. Jaws was a bromance interspersed with shark-fighting. Despite being sort of tired of dude movies, the next movie on my Omigod What Do You Mean You’ve Never Seen THAT? Netflix queue was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Between Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, That Guy Who Played the Nazi Leader, and the rest, it seemed pretty dude-centric. A dudegasbord, if you will. But then something wonderful happened: Karen Allen. More »

Morgan Freeman Is Not Dead, And 7 Other Stars ‘Killed’ By Twitter

Chick Flick Check List: ‘Morning Glory’

Here are Crushable, we’ve created the Chick Flick Check List to help you navigate the difficult terrain of the films aimed toward woman. These movies may not be Oscar caliber material, but when you’re in need of shoe porn or pretty faces, they can be just the trick. Follow our guidelines to decide whether this week’s film is up your alley.

Today’s Flick is Morning Glory, the story of a young upstart (Rachel McAdams) who gets a job at a fictional network called IBS and is tasked with rebooting a terrible morning show hosted by an impossibly perky woman (Diane Keaton) and a grumpy old man (Harrison Ford). Sadly, we can’t explain why the producers decided to name their fictional news network after irritable bowel syndrome. But we can help you decide whether to shell out to $12.50 to see Rachel McAdams’ latest movie in theaters.

First things first: Are you looking for a good cry or a potential father figure?
